Those organic farmers play their cards right and work like hell they can do quite well.

The real question is how many will go the distance?

Knock off this shit where the hipsters are fleeing the city to make a better world and all that crap. Back in the sixties when the word ecology was first discovered and unknown till then there were many moving to make the world better through better living. Then came the organic theme, then came the passive theme, then came the recycling theme, then came the green movement and now I guess the latest is sustainable living. Forgetaboutit. People are pigs and if they don't get what they want, then the other people will get fucked.
