Happening here, too. Big city people tossing it all in, selling their big fat houses and landing here to become farmers of one sort or another. Some pretty sophisticated careers just went in the toilet. I like them all as I have more choices for buying fresh meats and produce. I can even select the grain(s) then request # flour and have a miller grind that while I sit and wait.
Our laws are changing for the better= now a grower can butcher their own animals. They will take requests, too.
Calf liver is not at all popular here any more. I'll buy it.
I believe in supporting them. Sure it's a little justification for their career and whole life-style change but you also get good food. Of course, it's easily done out here in the country as opposed to next to city hall in Vancouver, BC.
