I'm going to push back very hard on the notion that it's easier to feed your family by picking up farming than by going to the supermarket.

Yup, if 'both you and your wife are doing farmwork' then who's got the time and energy to pursue a lucrative career? At least you could read about it on HN!

Especially with a young family to raise too.

A big polytunnel in the garden might make sense as a time-consuming hobby with practical benefits (though I still think it would be more expensive than just getting groceries), but not a farm.

Maintaining a farm doesn’t have to be a full-time job. Try to find a part-time job and it should be easily doable.
