Growing a Farmer Part 2

Kurt's story progresses. As in my first blog, we see Kurt doing what a novice Farmer would do. Make mistakes and learn from it. These enables him to change how he runs Kurtwood Farms for the better. His drive is relentless and we see his passion in his writing.

As time goes on, Kurt's farm gets bigger. It has more animals and more complex activities such as getting milk and butchering the cows for meat. From each expensive mistakes, Kurt got through it and enabled him to be a better farmer. He wanted to grow quality food so he also believed in giving quality fodder for his flocks. He also talk about some guides such as getting an A grade at a restaurant and how to obtain USDA licensing. Here we see a more business approach to a farm from Kurt. He wanted the farm to be sustainable and he did what he needed to do. Another interesting thing he did was to start a dinner on weekends. This combined his skills as a cook and a farmer. Using excess food to give a great dinner to your new clients is a really good idea since he loves cooking too. 

Overall, this is not just a story about a farmer or a cook. This is a story about a man with passion. We see how Kurt grows throughout the chapters. Making mistakes and learning from it and become a better man. In each chapter we see the problem he is in and then how he grows to become a true farmer. In the end, he is not just Kurt the farmer but also still Kurt the cook because when he grows to become a farmer he also grows to become a better cook. What I liked about this book is that it tells us how perseverance and commitment are the key to success.
