I don't think the family farm will ever die out... but it will probably reinvent itself. Friends of ours have 100+ acres in Bellingham, WA. They raise and "bleed" llamas--something to do with antibodies. They have a full lab and they also own and operate storage warehouses. So it's a mix of enterprises like Connie's family. As for husbands and wives working together... a whole "nother" subject. My husband and I do love working together, but I know that our time apart is necessary too. It restores an indefinable "spark." I guess we are just.so.comfortable.together most of the time. :~D A strong lady! I don’t think the family farm will ever die out… but it will probably reinvent itself.
