Funny, I want to move to a farm and keep goats and chickens (I am a Systems Architect). I still want to code in my spare time, if only to just pass on the skill

  Did this 25 years ago. Never looked back. eta: Admittedly I did a bunch of design/architecture consulting and teaching tech courses for the first decade or so to pay for the farm. Consulting is a good way to keep your hand in, and teaching serves as a great marketing platform for the consulting work.

  The great thing about chickens is that they debug your farm for you :-)

    :) the downside is you have to 'install' and continuously 'run' a shovel

  Have you ever worked on a farm? If not make sure you understand exactly what it entails. Most people who've never done it vastly underestimate how much work it is. That said, a small hobby farm with goats and chickens doesn't take much work. But going on vacation can be problematic.
