If the goal is freedom, then farming is really only compatible with a particular version of freedom.
Haha, exactly. It gives you the freedom to farm.
If you don't want to work for "the man" it's a very low cost way to get free of that. But it doesn't give you FIRE flexibility in the way that a "25x expenses without having to do labor (like farming)" portfolio does.
Yeah, i don't think i'd be super interested in turning it into any type of retail/commercial operation like i see online. Just more of a self-reliance thing just how FI is self reliance.
But, it is looking like i would be trading in a lot of freedom for this, so i'm not sure if that's really what i want....
