My husband and I are shopping for a small (5–10 acre) piece of land which will become our dream minifarm. If all goes well, we hope to have me stay home and intensively manage the household economy, which will include such activities as planting a huge garden, canning, husbandry of chickens, goats and rabbits, possible small-scale aquaculture, and permaculture landscaping with emphasis on rainwater collection, greywater reuse, composting, and basically moving around the waste product of one activity to be fuel for the next. This is pretty much my dream, and it’s a plan that we hope will see us well into our retirement (since if the economy crashes again, people will lose their savings, but we’ll still be eating off the farm).
I hope to be living this way within your timeframe.
