Ten Hour SL Check

I am doing my service learning on a sustainable organic chicken farm with a woman named Betty Joseph and her husband.

So far, I have completed 10 hours working for her.

I have been gathering eggs that she sells and eats, taking care of the goats that she raises for meat, and building a new enclosure in order to make room for some more meat goats and some milking goats.

I have learned about some of the maintenance required in order to live a sustainable lifestyle.  It is more work than I previously thought in order to achieve a means of, in this case, attaining food.  That could be a downside to living sustainably.  However, I feel that it is a rewarding king of work.  The reason why is that as you work, you get to directly see the progress made and observe as your rewards come into being.  It gives you a strong sense of achievement and makes you feel useful.  This can be one of the benefits to sustainable living.
