I have no idea why people romanticize the countryside. You wanna work at a farm? Go ahead without me

[-] whimsy@lemmy.zip 22 points 2 months ago

Not saying it's easy, but I think in some ways, it's quite a bit more fulfilling with the effort to payoff ratio. Plus, I assume it might work in a pleasant way if one actually has a community where people are willing to help out and do things together

It's a very romantic view. Places like that already exist and are called farming villages. There's a good reason most people leave them for the cities.

[-] whimsy@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago

Yeah, true. It certainly is a romantic view. But I don't know, the mind yearns for an escape from the rat race in this capitalistic system

I work in tech and all I want to do is work on a farm instead. Someday.

Thats all my family wants too. I could do without all social media and connectivity. Just let me and my wife have a little farm where we make bread and I make jewelry and we can trade eggs and produce for shoes and gloves. Im really not asking for much.

You can buy a large plot of land by the city.

[-] inari@piefed.zip 10 points 2 months ago

Can you? Because in many places areas adjacent to cities have been turned into car-centric suburbs

The wealthiest people I know live on big plots of land just outside of town. They pay less than half the property tax, have more than double the land you would in the city at the same price, and it's only a couple minute drive into the city for ammenities
