It’s an extremely privileged kind of nostalgia. Only the wealthy can romanticize poverty.

The solution to nostalgia for farming is for people to try it.

I used to live in Asheville NC years ago. There were a lot of hippie back to the land types that came there to find themselves. It’s that kind of place. Sometimes they’d decide to become farmers. This usually lasted at best one year. Sometimes it lasted weeks.
