A few fun quotes from the New York Times Magazine...."just as bushy beards and Hunter books have captured the pastoral fantasies for the urban fashion tribe, a taste for field and stream is driving the travel avant-garde. Nowadays, rural pleasures--whether it's picking your own asparagus or indulging your inner ranger--have given rise to a new breed of back-to-the-land destinations."The article continues to talk of "agritourism and "wwoofers" (worldwide opportunities on Organic farms-wwoofusa.org).
and finally...."considering that half of american travelers say they're looking for "cultural authenticity"...it's not hard to see how fetching eggs from the coop seems thrillingly real, even revelatory. "
Ah...New York...
