Sometimes on Lemmy these seem like the only jobs that actually exist, but I’m sure there’s a lot of people here with different and unusual lines of work.

My primary job is IT, but I am starting a farm and worked on one as a teenager.
Is your farm specialty growing plants or animals? Or both?
My family has dabbled in chickens, horses, and goats. But we can’t grow a plant that isn’t a weed.
Plants for now. Chickens will be next but not until next year sometime (we want to do some travel before we have animals we need to care for and potentially to find a farm sitter). Maybe something to eat all of the kudzu and stuff we get in the future, but I’m not thinking that far ahead. Japan has really strict laws on butchery even just for personal consumption. I think goats are OK to self-butcher, but I also don’t know that I really want a goat.
