I do find the cottagecore aesthetic visually pleasing and dream of being kinda self-sufficient someday, but people need to stop and think about what kind of values their 'aesthetic' implies for a minute.

I agree with the post with one caveat: maybe it’s because I was raised on one, but I don’t think farm smell is that bad* (on the cottagecore level, anyway). I also grew up near a lot of factory farms and that shit REEKS.
*Unless it’s pigs. There’s probably nothing that will make the smell of pig shit bearable.
I grew up in a farm and hearing city people complaining about farm smells just makes me role my eyes. I go to NYC and everything just smells like piss, car exhaust and micro plastic from all the tires.
Cows, goats, and chickens also can stink. Not always, but my government removed any regulations regarding of that, because they needed the votes of "small farmers" (who then got immediately betrayed).
Nostalgia can bring the pig shit smell from "unbearable" to "unpleasant but bearable". Though that is from a distance, like existing within sight of a farm, rather than visiting or working on a farm.
Ducks are pretty bad too.
