Excerpt from Take to the Hills: A Chronicle of the Ozarks Your answer to that question, I am sure, is yes! In fact, the Jedge and I have come to believe that America is made up of two classes of people, those who want a big farm, and those who want just any kind of a farm. Throughout the five years that we have owned Sunrise Mountain Farm, we have been amazed at the number of people who had a farm urge! The butcher, baker, doorman, window-washer, banker, taxi-driver... all had that yearning for a place in the country. Their reasons for wanting a farm gave us endless amusement: A place to putter with flowers. Nearer to a golf course. More space for the children to play. A place to keep a dog. Better air! Fresh eggs. We had to answer the oddest questions, too. Did we have movies near us? Could we get good help? Did we have electricity? Were the roads good? It seemed to us that everyone wanted a farm without foregoing any of the urban luxuries. Suddenly, within the past year, these questions have taken a more serious turn! With the world rocking on its heels, with the very air filled with talk of decentralizing population, rumors of mysterious attacks, and vague internal and international complications, people seem to be turning to Mother Earth as the only real, substantial thing left to humanity.
