Super cool!
My family and I are also looking to buy a small farm and basically do the same thing, use it to provide good healthy food for our kids and hopefully at some point setup a program for other food conscious programmers and do a hackathon every couple months to improve on farming equipment.
Did you get a govt loan for your farm? If so did they require a certain amount of food to be sold or grown?
- tjic 10y agoNo, I bootstrapped into a farm by being lucky enough to have bought a small house in Arlington, MA just before it hugely gentrified. I sold a 1,500 square foot house on 0.1 acres of land and traded laterally into a 5,000 square foot house on 56 acres of land. I've worked in tech for 25 years and never hit a good IPO; I guess this is my one big karma win!
