Have you ever stopped to think about your life in the city? Have you ever thought about the amount of space, the lack of noise, and having the time to see your kids grow responsible and mature, loving to spend time with you? Or in case you are a kid, think about playing outside and using your imagination. Here are some reasons why you should choose to live on a farm.

Firsty, it has a silenceness that the city doesn’t have so you will have peace and be able to do your things quietly. Secondly, there is no pollution, the air is clean and the crops and lakes are well maintained. 

Another advantage is that you can play outside, as you are safe. In the city kids don’t play outside as it isn’t completely safe. Besides that, kids can play with the animals, at the lake, running around and using their imagination.

Not only can you have fun alone but you also have time to play with your brothers or sisters, plant or fish with your parents, take care of the animals, ride a horse, swim and play board games together.

On the farm you have more usable space. You can play many games with your family and friends, like hide and seek, for example. If you want to expand your farm, don’t worry, you have lots of space to do anything you want. And how about the clothes? In the countryside you can wear more simple and comfortable clothes than the usual suits, for example, and if you need to protect yourself from the sun, there are straw hats, boots, long-sleeved blouses and jeans for you to wear.

To conclude, you will have more responsibilities, as you have to do your own things like food, clothes, etc. However, it isn’t a bad thing, as you will be more mature when you grow up. For example, you can sell some things like plants, meat, animals, and that can give you a big profit, so after a time you can be proud of yourself and have a lot of money!

You should stop whatever you are doing and be aware of how the time is flying while you don’t enjoy it as much as you have always dreamed. Are you ready to choose the farm and trade your rushed life for a healthy and peaceful one?
