The country life of a city slicker
2011
Overview
Kimball's father wasn't too pleased with his daughter's idea of \"marriage material\". In fact, he emphatically states that he didn't provide her with a good education so that she could go and marry a farmer. So did they ever come around to accepting him? \"It took them a while to see that my new life made me genuinely happy. I give them a lot of credit for accepting the choices I made, since they were choices they would have never made for themselves in a million years.\" It is interesting that Essex Farm makes an effort to not use fuel-powered vehicles, so they use draft horses for most of their work in the fields. Kimball says that even if she was living a different life, she'd still want to work a team of draft horses. She even goes as far as to say that she doesn't know if she'd feel as enthusiastic about farming if she had to spend all day on a tractor. Are they ever able to take holidays, something that any farmer or self-employed person struggles to do? \"We took three days in Montreal recently. Mark won't fly, it's too big of a carbon suck for him to feel okay about, so we are restricted in the places we can go together.\"
