    I've long held the opinion that food is the ultimate currency, and grocery shopping is the ultimate time sink because you are beholden to shopping habits of others. The longer it takes you to get to an aisle=the less item remaining.

    The internet, online shopping, a la carte services and telecommuting have vastly reduced the actual need to be at a grocery store physically, hence virtual homesteading as fast as your internet connection and ability to mentally process input should be an option. But there are simply some things you have to do in person.

    Since virtual homesteading isn't a reality at this point, urban gardens are not realistic and garage farms aren't at a production point yet, the best option to cut grocery shopping is a farm on a large private lot (I also realize that owning a farm would mean employing staff to maintain the farm, so that's an added cost).

    I know that Disneyland has farms in and I would like to emulate Living with the Land at some point, but I'm trying to figure out the point where it's feasible from a time/cost standpoint.

    I realize that this is a basketball forum, however, it has the most diverse socioeconomic collective I've seen in an online community, and that includes Reddit.

    Ideas? Thoughts? Anyone else considered this?

    Did the original original poster ever buy the helicopter or is this all big game talking and the jokes that follow?

    Who bought a helicopter?

    I actually want a farm despite this obvious parody thread.

    So you are saying that owning a farm is not a bigger time sink than going to the grocery store?

    No doubt will be sold on eBay for MUCHO profit because anybody'll buy anything on eBay! I say that sarcastically and then realize I almost bought some coprolite once just to say I had it.

    Lulz. Coprolite, pyrite and brachiopod are probably the only things I remember from geology lab. I have some coprolite somewhere around here. It was too tempting not to pocket some poop.
