Farmers are like Zombies


Farmers and homesteaders are a lot like Zombies. If you start reading a blog about farming or you go help your neighbor plant some lettuce you're bound to find yourself starting to grow stuff, or wanting to raise chickens or rabbits or ducks or geese or some other critter. And, worst of all, you don't notice you've become a farmer until you look at your small flock of chickens and your beds of potatoes and tomatoes and spinach. You won't notice until you start looking for more land and scolding people for buying store eggs. And the more farmers there are, the more rapidly they spread. Exponential growth.

It's a Zombie Apocalypse.
