yes, that's the other way to do it is to do a decade or two working

ya that seems reasonable

I will likely build a house in a few years

but I'm thinking if you were homesteading, you could try to telework if you wanted to expand your farm

lots of houses today are built too cheaply tho

or buy more equipment

aside from like selling cattle and produce

which is the thing that should be expanded

i have been woatching that gold shaw farm channel

would be fun to get some goats and ducks

I imagine small-scale farming would be very difficult

to get by

we have a pair of goats

yeah, for me it would be just a hobby really

who said anything about small-scale lol

chickens are great @fuguer

all the eggs you want, relatively easy upkeep

they can be bullies tho

yeah chickens are cool, i wonder about predators

it's been an open secret since the 70s they had nukes

the thing to do is to have thousands and thousands of acres, not just a few

do you have to go outside every night and pen them up

and even better, lots of people together

400k for 25 ac?

what what

and do your own butchering, carpentry etc.

i own 1/4 of our family farm in the midwest

lol you got jewed

or i will someday

save a ton that way, and develop more and more self-sufficiency over time

my Uncle has a 2000 acre ranch

which is productive

the problem is the location

best is to have a green house even just person use

your going to need alot of greens and fast

chickens and rabbit and goats are easy

yeah you can get some sweet deals on land if you dont need it to be near metro areas

lol cows are easy too, the hardest part of cows

unironically

is when they wander into somebody else's land

when you live near a metro area, you're paying for the high wage jobs
