Sell your City properties and start buying farms in groups between 5 and 10 people. Throw a few Tiny Houses on the property. Spilt the responsibilities and feed yourselves and barter the balance of your crop.
Is that what you did? How many other partners do you have? Did you all quit your jobs and get new ones nearby or just all working on the farms sharing duties? How is it going so far?
My friend just sold his farm to three families. There are Two houses and the third family will live in a Tiny House. They are going to raise grass fed beef. Chickens and eggs and large vegetable garden and they will be preserving anything they don't sell at a road side stand. Two of the families can also work remotely that helps bring in an additional revenue stream. They all pay down the mortgage based on an agreed upon percentage. They share the baby sitting and a few times a week, they all eat together.
I hope it works for them, one of the biggest costs is winter feed you either have to buy it, or harvest yourself. Depending on the size of the operation, you need @ least a tractor a hay rake a swather and a baler plus many miscellaneous items.
Thanks for your sage advice. I'm looking at a swather as a write this reply..it was a rainy Summer so they need to spread out the grass a few days under the sun before they make the round bales.
