In 2008 my father approached me about quitting his job, a job that he had had for over 40 years. It was logistically easy as he was also his own boss but the decision, I'm sure, was not. Unwilling to ride out yet another housing recession in the custom homebuilding industry he was looking for something new. Together and over 3 years we transformed almost 200 acres of farmland in rural Missouri into a working and Certified organic farm. From then on we've just been farming in the sticks. He's the DJ, I'm the rapper.
