Many of us dream of leaving the day to day stress of gridlock, office work, and crowds behind to escape to the country. After all, what sounds more idyllic than waking up to the crowing of roosters and the sight of the sun rising over rolling fields? But of course, it’s just not that easy to leave it all behind and start over on a farm – and it’s not as glamorous as it appears. Farm life, after all, involves a lot of physical labor!
