An Italian sheep farm...

da TIME China

An Italian sheep farm has put its flock up for adoption via the Web (www.asca.dimmidove.com). For $170, nature-nostalgic city dwellers get a 12-month contract entitling them to one animal's output, including cheese, wool and fertile droppings. Watch for a webcam that opens a window on the sheep pen. Foster-shepherds may even be able to book accommodations nearby their little wooly ones.
