It's an older meme sir, but it checks out.

Goose Farmer - Remote

I would definitely go for Irish sheep farmer. You get to live in a cute little house in a green pasture by the seaside and the sheep feed themselves. What do you need to do? Sheer them every once and a while? I'd take that over Terraform any day of the week.

Terraform the earth to grow plants, not AWS.

I can see how decades of working at Microsoft can turn someone into a goose farmer. I've been using their products for decades and some days I never want to see their products again.

Been a developer for 20 years and the temptation to quit and be a stay-at-home Dad is really tempting if it was at all financially viable.

What's your fowl stack?

This person was building up relevant experience to earn that goose farmer promotion by moving to Chehalis, WA.

I've threatened more than once that I was going to quit and take up potato farming. Potatoes are good. 👍

Farming implies growing crops. Ranching implies raising livestock.

Dude is actually a "Goose Rancher", unless he also grows both crops as well a tend livestock, then I have no idea.

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mmm maybe regional I’d definitely refer to sheep or cattle farms and farmers etc

I've certainly never heard of a chicken ranch, but plenty of chicken farms.

[–] joe_cool@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I always thought: farm = inside (fence or barn), ranch = outside

The goat pastures call to us all.
