My jiichan, my grandpa, put no pressure on my dad to come back. I was fortunate that my parents -- we never even talked about me farming until I came up with the idea, which is probably the best possible unfolding. As far as the tensions, working with family is intense. It really has forced and invited both me, my dad and everybody else, my mom and my brother for sure, to really open hard conversations about how we communicate. What are our different ideas of what a farming life looks like and how do we make all of those come together sustainably, joyously but also working through conflict?
You can imagine in a lot of family businesses working side by side. Earlier when we spoke, you mentioned the experience of aging in your family, yourself. You said you felt like maybe you had come to farming too late in a funny way.
I am still on the beginning end of my life hopefully, and I think about what is to come. There are some things that physically over the coming decades are going to become harder and harder for him.

Francis Lam is the host of The Splendid Table. He graduated first in his class at the Culinary Institute of America and has written for numerous publications. Lam lives with his family in New York City. A fourth-generation farmer on leaving, then returning to the family farm. More from The Splendid Table. I'm just wondering why they haven't sent a small group to check it out. Half the group weren't near the house at the time of attack so there was definitely a lot lost. I also didn't notice this at first, but a walker falls onto Andrea and it looked to them like she was being eaten.
They assume she's dead. Someone made the comment that they didn't actually see her get bit, but nobody wanted to go back to look for her. They assumed she either died or ran away, but they still should have gone back for closure at some point. When Rick says they're not going back for Andrea, it pans over the faded message on the car that they left for Sophia.

Basically, he feels that he forced the group to search for Sophia, who was dead, and it completely wasted their time and endangered their lives Daryl almost died. The implication there is that he doesn't want to do the same thing again for Andrea, who is not only less defenseless than Sophia but is almost certainly dead from what they saw. Whats to say they haven't? Theres months between the end of season 2 and the start of 3, they could have easily gone back for a few days, decided it was too risky a place to defend, and left again.
I think they would have showed it That would have been a great scene, to go back and see the aftermath.
Before you go...
I was thinking they go back to the farm for the seeds and animals if there are any left because where else would they get the farming equipment? Woodbury maybe, but I doubt. They had tents, most likely clothes and maybe some weapons. Hershel also had his medical supplies from working on Carl.
I expected a scene where Andrea takes Merle to the farm in season 3, then Andrea stumbles across Shane's gun under the leaves. I was obviously wrong: Use of this site constitutes acceptance of our User Agreement and Privacy Policy. Log in or sign up in seconds.

A fourth-generation farmer on leaving, then returning to the family farm
Spoiler Rules Always use the comic spoiler tag unless it's in a [Comic Spoilers] post. I'm completely fine with that. If the flood of applications that show up in farmer's mailboxes each winter are any guide, a surprising number of Wilson's contemporaries share his willingness to do farm work for almost nothing. The result is a sometimes fierce competition for farm jobs, and a sort of "race to the bottom" where wages are concerned. They work this hard, this much, and they don't even get paid! Increased competition for such low pay raises a troubling possibility, one that has plagued other attractive but low-paying fields, like journalism: The thought of young, idealistic and educated people fleeing to farm in the countryside might evoke, for many, the 's "Back to the Land" movement.
Indeed, today's farming revival is strongest in areas- upstate New York, Vermont, northern California - that were first seeded with ecologically-minded farmers during the back-to-the-land era, but there are important differences between the two movements. While many back-to-the-landers eschewed technology, farm interns of today are plugged in, skimming for their next job online in their off hours and downloading political podcasts for listening while they pick peas.
Why Are Young, Educated Americans Going Back to the Farm?
Organic farming today is bigger business than it was 40 years ago, when organic growers catered mainly to the counterculture movement. Today, organic food is everywhere from Whole Foods to the corner deli, and modern aspiring farmers are more comfortable than their hippie forebears treating their farm like a business, one that is designed to serve these growing markets. And yet, just as so many "Back to the Landers" eventually left the woods and returned to the lives they had left behind, it's likely that many of today's interns will opt to exit farming, going back to school or taking city jobs, carrying a small piece of the farm with them.
The obstacles to becoming a proficient farmer are tremendous: And yet, the formation of groups like the National Young Farmers Coalition suggests that there is a contingent planning to stick it out. Their goal seems less about getting rich than simply getting by, and perhaps changing a sliver of the world in the process.
