Wendell BerryEating is an agricultural act.
About This Quote
Food is a basic necessity that requires careful preparation and attention to detail. A good farmer knows that there is more to farming than planting seeds, but without them, there would be no harvest. The farmer must understand the basics of tending to things like soil and water, as he cannot do anything with his crops without them. That’s why many farmers own farms and work the land, because they know that food is a basic requirement and they know how to grow crops.
