Mitchell Farm

General information

Craftsmen forget themselves in their work. We agree with Abraham Cowley who wrote in his 1650 essay, “Of Agriculture,” that there is no other life so praiseworthy for “the utility of it, to a man’s self; the usefulness, or rather necessity, of it to all the rest of mankind; the innocence, the pleasure, the antiquity, the dignity.” The majority of people who have ever lived have farmed for a living, and in the hierarchy of these craftsmen, the best carry the culminated wisdom of this fellowship.
