    • 2009, Kim Severson, "$300 a Night? Yes, but Haying’s Free", The New York Times, 25 August 2009:
      In a world where small farmers need to diversify to keep their fields afloat and city dwellers are more desperate than ever to learn where their food comes from, a "haycation" for about the price of a nice hotel room in Manhattan didn’t seem like such a far-fetched idea.
