Living in one of the Korean provinces I have met some people who could be called farmers. Some of them only have a little land. Some have other work also so they're not really full time farmers.
There is one group I know of who live together in a place which is pretty much a commune. They don't raise animals but do have a little land where they grown some fruit. They may have vegetables but I'm not sure. I think they do. After harvesting they trade some of their produce with other farms. I guess so that everyone can have more of a variety.
Like every country the number of farmers who are organic farmers are a minority. Before coming to this province I didn't hear much about them.
Conformity means a lot in Korean life. Having met Koreans who do things very different from the norm, I decided to have another blog containing some of their stories. Some people I'd like to write about: Koreans who belong to atypical religions, Koreans who are vegetarians/vegans, Koreans who don't put their children through the education system, Koreans unmarried past the normal age for marriage, Koreans who chose atypical professions or lifestyles.

- So many things I want to say after spending years in Korea! Some things I still can't figure out, but most things I understand. I wish I knew it all at the start. I hope my blogs help others.
