  • 💵 Property Investment & Financial Self-Sufficiency:  This strategy not only offers financial resilience but also supports the goal of achieving early retirement and self-sufficient living.
  • 🐔 Alternative Farming Activities: Diversifying activities around the farm helps meet various needs and supports the overall sustainable lifestyle.
