Since this column began two years ago -- this one is the last -- farming and food-crafting have become the de rigueur Plan B. But those who envision raising hogs for top restaurants or selling their jam at the farmers' market seem to skip over the ''life'' part of their dream lifestyle. As the men and women who made the leap for less-fashionable reasons will tell them: Growing, making and selling food is a fuller-than-full-time career. When they were in their early 40s, Barb and Fritz Foulke left the health clinic they ran on an Indian reservation in Washington in search of better educational opportunities for their kids. The high-school sweethearts, who grew up in Oregon's Willamette Valley, found a steeply discounted hazelnut orchard -- equipment included -- near Barb's parents' grain farm and never questioned why it was so affordable. It seemed ideal: Fritz would continue his practice, and Barb would sell the nuts for which the state is known. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
