We just bought (2 weeks ago) 7ha farm from southern Finland. We've been dreaming of it for 10 years but finally the time was right and a perfect place came along. We will move there in August. First season we are gonna just settle down and do some small scale homesteading (chickens, goats for milk and vegetables) but our plan is to start farming food for sale as well in the long run. Don't know if I'm ever able to drop from tech - not even sure if I want to - but plan is to do consulting (well, subcontracting) gigs during winters and focus on farming during summers. Let's see how it goes.
