My DH and I are green, live as much off the grid as we can, and eat/garden/take care of our animals organically also. Like you, I would LOVE nothing more that to quit my job and farm. I truly like what I do and who I work with but I look forward to retirement one of these days in the far off future so that I can live my dream. At this point, I just don't think the mortgage could be made with one salary and just starting up, I don't think our place could generate enough to pay the bills...Best of luck to you though!!
