That is how I felt back in 2007 when I put the first chicken video up on you tube...full time job, chickens ,rabbits, koi and goldfish ponds, cats and Dogs...hobby.
It's a way of life... only if it's all you do and you try to earn a living by doing it. It's called a hobby farm because you aren't relying on it to live. You're doing it because it's fun or you enjoy it. Quit your job and live from your farming operation, THEN you can call it a way of life.
