I know this has been here for awhile but I do have some thoughts on the matter.
As someone that spent the formative years of her life as within subsistence farming family, I have often longed to return to the life I found more peaceful, simpler and more rewarding.
The problem lies with the financial inability to purchase a land parcel small enough to manage yet big enough to grow.
I have to work, as does every other member of my family.
I have begun to look into the possibility of working from home permanently, since remote jobs have become more attainable following COVID.
I think this solves the issue of needing to work while allowing people to remain in rural settings.
Sadly, due to my spouse becoming disabled, we live paycheck to paycheck which takes me straight back to being unable to afford acreage.
However, for others, this model of living rurally while working remotely from home would, I think, be very appealing as it provides younger people possible ownership. Especially including tiny homes in the process.
Just my thoughts, I’m sure there are a thousand holes in the plan.
