My spouse started a small farm years ago as her job. Unfortunately, there isn't enough money in it for both of us to be at the farm to do farm work so I've gotta to find a paycheck elsewhere while still doing some of the farm work.
Also, I've found over the years that I'm really just not that in to it. I could probably tolerate it if the money situation was okay but since it isn't, my anxiety about money just slowly starts to build until my chest starts hurting all the time and I can't sleep for crap.
Another thing I've learned about myself is that I really, REALLY, need to be able to separate "work" from "not work" or I'll get all weird. And living/working on a farm makes that difficult.
