Bless you, Samantha, for your dedication to your land work, caring for dear (and I am sure, sometimes cantankerous) critters, helping useful insects, growing some food and pursuing the dreams of your heart. The roots of the world are certainly in agriculture and animal husbandry and it is good to see someone pursuing that in this "modern" day and age, a true labor of love. While I would respectfully disagree that "the future is female" (for me, the future is both male and female, as that is what keeps the human race going), I would 100% agree with your pursuit of the powerful and inspiring endeavor. I grew up in a agricultural small town in southern Oregon and have profound respect for the intensity and challenge of farming and caring for animals. Please continue to keep us updated and take GOOD care of yourself, you are needed in this world and certainly on Substack and Notes! Sincerely, Wendy

Samantha, I don’t have the words to tell you how wonderful today’s essay is. I’ve admired your efforts long enough to be familiar with some of the challenges you’ve faced becoming a lady farmer. I need not list any of them.

You’re the real deal. And I admire you an awful lot!
