    So, how soon will they be back when they realize farming is an order of magnitude more stressful than IT work?

      I think that really depends on both the IT role as well as the type and scale of farm. If someone has a really stressful workplace in IT but makes enough money to buy a farm and semi-retire, it could just be that having the farm supplements their food and doesn’t need to turn a profit. It’s very different to, say, a subsistence farmer or one who has to make a lot to pay for mortgage, retirement, etc.

      That’s when they turn the farm into a themed hotel that is only open during select holidays.
