You're talking about using your personal connections within the community to slowly assemble a farm from small acquisitions like their deceased father's garden and then leveraging those connections to find people to help you work the land. People that don't need to give you their land and don't need to work your land, they're actually choosing to do it freely. That'd actually be amazing if it ever happened.

That basically has zero relation with how farms work under capitalism.

Freely? No. For money. They can also work for money.

Except they don't need money, so it's still a free choice they're making.

When you don't need money to have a life worth living and all needs are already provided, any choice to work for money is a free one.

Who would provide for their needs? Volunteers?
