Day 16 12/28/04 Today was a good day. I guess I find myself constantly trying to not get involved. Albert and Marie listen to a lot of my advice about their lifestyle and their business. They’re doing better, healthwise than 99% of the population and there is still room for improvement. I’m getting emotionally attached,…

Living experience on a raw food farm – Day 15
Day 15 12/27/04 I have been her exactly two weeks. Time really goes slow when you’re not sleeping through it. I spend a lot of waking hours with these people. I got a chance to make breakfast today. I made eggs frittata with cheese, bacon, onion and garlic and spices. I really need to get…
Living experience on a raw food farm – Day 14
Day 14 12/26/04 It’s the day after Christmas. I slept on the couch by the heater this morning it was extremely hot. I would have slept naked, which would have been fine because they aren’t coming back till this afternoon. I feel weird in sleeping naked in an Amish living room. Like I’m going to…
Living experience on a raw food farm – Day 13
Day 13 12/25/04 I played ping pong with George today. He’s really good. They have a ping-pong table up in the barn. That’s where they hang out with their youth group sometimes. He has this incredible backhand serve with a crazy spin. He beat me about 5 times. I beat him once. We kept on…
Living experience on a raw food farm – The butcher
Day 12 12/24/04 We woke up a little earlier today. There’s a rhythmic sort of sound in the barn. The cows mooing, the sound of the milk machines sucking, sound of cows turning on the water and drinking, Marie saying “Whoa”. The sound of the poop and pee hitting the gutter. There are a lot…
Living experience on a raw food farm – Day 11
Day 11 12/23/04 I woke up earlier today than usual, around 6:00am. It was sprinkling and the sun had not come up yet. Once we started milking, it started raining a lot harder. We ate breakfast and I started helping Marie make ice cream. I was going to go over to Homer Adams’s house to…
Living experience on a raw food farm – What nobody will tell you
Day 10 12/22/04 It felt like a pretty standard day today. This morning while we were having breakfast, an English named Bobby knocked on the door. He was Albert’s feed supplier. He had bad teeth, thick glasses, a mullet and cowboy boots(1). He was talking to us when someone else knocked on the door. It…
Living experience on a raw farm – Day 9
Day 9 12/21/04 Nothing much happened today. I had to sleep in because I had a headache. I think this room is too damn cold. Marie keeps on trying to adjust the stove so I have heat, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. I made them dinner and dessert though, to make up for it…
Living experience on a raw food farm – After one week
Day 8 12/20/04 So I have been here for exactly one week now. It seems like I’ve been here for a month. It wasn’t hard for me to adjust. There aren’t any distractions or artificial lights to keep me up. I fall asleep relatively easy at 8:30 or 9:00. I’ve bonded really well with almost…
