Ouessant Sheep

Life on the farm is a fantastic life to live your life. However, this does not mean it doesn’t come with some chaos. One of the major problems that come automatically to those who live on the farm is located. Most farmers do not have a store close by. A trip to town requires a long drive through the country. This trip can take up hours of time and who has time to miss so much time on the farm when there are chores to be done? It is why many farmers start getting creative on the farm.

Getting Creative with Everyday Things

Think about what happens when you realize you ran out of milk? Forgot to thaw something for dinner? Most people when in this position will simply get in their car and run to the store. It is not quite so easy for a farmer. They have to travel miles to the nearest store. For this reason, many will have gardens, a way to prepare milk, and more. They try to create a self-sustaining lifestyle that is not dependent on going to town often. Many may also try to limit their trips to weekly or bi-weekly adventures. The coolest thing about this is that their creativity knows no boundaries.

Creativity at the Max

Growing a garden, flower bed, or whatever is a kind of creativity that is expressed by farmers and such. What you may not consider is that it also goes much deeper. They express their creativity in numerous other ways, such as creating a table to keep from having to pay someone to deliver. The same can be true for chairs, desks, and other things. Some of the most creative sorts may even make bowls and other things that look like glass with a hint of color. This can be done using resin pigment and molds.

Basically anything that needs to be replaced can be created with a piece of wood, a little epoxy, and a little thought. Not only does it help them thrive without depending on going to trips to town, but it also creates some very interesting conversation pieces for friends and family.

If Farmers Can Do It…

One thing that we can learn from the fact that there are people who live well away from cities is that basically anyone can be creative. Anyone can live by growing their own food and creating their own furnishings. You may even be able to create river tables to dine on, lavish bedroom sets using the stuff that you considered throwing away, and even new paperweights for your desk if that is what you want.

The beauty of creating your own items is that you know you have one of a kind pieces to show off to friends and family. Things that you created. Things that you enjoy doing. Why not give it a try?
