Some of us are real go-getters and realize we can bring the farm to us long before we retire! I am currently typing this on my Linux couch computer wearing lightweight clothes with literal dirt smeared on them, on a dinner break before I return to the back yard and continue today’s construction project. Sometimes being a “farmer” also means becoming a carpenter!
Granted, it works much better for the suburban homeowner than anybody living in a city and/or an apartment.
And when I refer to myself as a “farmer,” all my animals are family pets cared for as a hobby. There is 0% business plan. Well, probably negative %. When we have too many animals (usually too many fish in the pond) we give them away for free!
Count another one for the sysadmin building a homestead in the forest while also building platforms for evil corpos from home.
I also have no intent of ever turning my farm into any kind of income. But it is definitely worth all of the extra work to spend any brakes sitting outside surrounded by animals, trees, water and sky.
That does sound nice, but in writing this from my work from home location right near to the beach. But my second choice would be someplace with a lot of woods.
