It seems my life is coming to a circle instead of a fork in the road. I was born and raised on a farm and didn't leave it until I was 18. I've spent 20+ years working in a technical field in the city and living in the suburbs. Now my wife wants to start homesteading, and I get the feeling I might find peace in this. I enjoy farming. My dad owned a construction company and a farm, so I think I can manage a much smaller operation.

There's possibilities for an exciting new chapter for us.

You should try welding. Small investment on an inverter you can do arc welding for small projects at home and grow from there. If you like it you push forward, if not you've lost little money and you can sell the material and is not a total loss. Farming entails much more costs and risks, with all the diseases, pests, cost variations and whatnot. Just a suggestion.
