		<description><![CDATA[About four years ago and just about this time of year, I was mowing a very tall pasture when I suddenly heard a loud squealing sound coming from the bush hog (mower). The high pitched squeal sounded like a mechanical problem, so I quickly raised the mower, shut down the PTO, and idled the tractor [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stonybrookfarm.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3667179&amp;post=1741&amp;subd=stonybrookfarm&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Unlike on a vegetable or fruit farm, farming doesn&#8217;t stop during the winter on a livestock farm. At the very least on a livestock farm breeding animals are overwintered and therefore need to be cared for. On our farm we overwinter slaughter animals as well. We don&#8217;t reduce our &#8220;production&#8221; at all, actually, so there [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stonybrookfarm.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3667179&amp;post=1721&amp;subd=stonybrookfarm&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

One of its personalities is the foodie, who approaches the movement as a vehicle to increase his or her sensuo-aesthetic pleasure, with more or less regard to socio-political questions depending on his or her socio-political perspective.
