If I had this land, I’d grow food.

As in subsistence farming or trying to bring food to market? If the former, it will be a hard path, but possible.
If the latter, have you seen what is happening in the current food markets? For produce (quick spoilage) other nations are rejecting our produce either because of tariffs or because of retaliatory tariffs. For commodity grains like corn and soybeans, previous giant consumers like USAID, USDA, and other agencies are being cut or destroyed entirely meaning there will be a glut of production on the market for some time. Couple that with visa restrictions/deportations, the price of labor will increase substantially. Food prices are going to crater for a time because of this, and some farmers will go out of business. Those that survive will increase prices to cover all of the new expenses, but they won’t be earning more profit from their work.

OP seems to be in Europe, so I’m not sure how much of your second point applies.

You’re right. I didn’t pick up on that. Thanks for that correction.

Does that apply in Europe? OP says most European capitals have direct flights, that take 2-4 hours, so that probably puts this somewhere in Europe.

Idk the yours or OPs situation but the start up costs of running a farm are pretty high. Not to mention the actual farming work part of it.

With all the rage about digital detox trips you could probably get people to grow food for you while paying you for the opportunity, if the marketing is done right.

It’s a hard life picking stones and pulling teats, but as sure as God’s got sandals it beats fighting dudes with treasure trails.

Doesn’t work unless they can drive right into it with their small cars.

Of course it does. The guided meditative walk is essential as every step helps you leave the toxicity of digital life behind and prepares you to open yourself up to the present.
