Well aware of that, but thought this a special case.

We are all special cases around here - to prove the point I'm currently contemplating giving up my job as CTO at an industrial design firm to become "Assistant Herdsman" at an organic farm. Now isn't that special???

Sounds like you're dealing with shit either way.

I'll dish if and when the deal is done. It's hard to leave that much money on the table. Or maybe not if it's a job I can happily work until my dying day.
All I can say is the attraction is: Grass fed beef and more importantly pasture raised pigs.

And of course somebody responsible has to herd all those willing young lasses who show up to be your WWOOFers.
That be what it may, I went to Maine Organic Farmer's Common Ground Country Fair last year and was quite impressed with the people who had built their own organic communities and the means to support them.

One of our spawn is a WOOFer. She's having a pretty good time wandering the planet, learning bunches, and finding her "path" in life.
These days we provide the majority of our own food. A nice garden, apiary, goats, chickens (layers & broilers), freezers full of salmon, halibut, moose, & caribou we've harvested.
Set up to brew 5-15 gallons of killer beer from time to time. In the spring we use birch sap and spruce tips in the wort.
One strain of bees I keep is from Kirk Webster in Middlebury VT. They've survived several winters in an uninsulated hive. Ocassionally Down East'ers get it right.
Biggest lament is the inability to grow a decent tomato...
Costco covers any other need.
