Been FIRE'd a year now and loving it. Find myself looking for my next new adventure or hobby though. I can't seem to shake this deep seeded desire to operate a small hobby farm. I am envisioning a 30 to 50 acre place where I could do a great garden, a greenhouse, an orchard and some "livestock". Maybe chickens, goats, sheep or even bees. I would love to have these sort of healthy and organic options for DW and myself. Of course it would also need to have a good hunting area and a stocked pond.
I have no illusion that one can make significant money at this sort of thing. Breaking even each year would be a worthy enough goal. This calculation obviously wouldn't include the land purchase. That would just be a real estate investment which may actually be a good diversification factor for me.
Anyway, thanks for reading my pipe-dream. Guess I am just a self-sufficieent, get your hands dirty, farmer type at heart. Please let me know if you have had any good or bad experiences along these lines.
