I just took a week off and was so wildly productive at home, so I assume it would be the same if I could ever voluntarily retire. Haul wheelbarrows of mulch, tend to the garden, make bread and tepache, take care of the animals. Clean up the house. Like a stay at home mom who didn't have to take care of kids, would just manage the house and yard.
In reality it is probably only disability that would force me into retirement though. So I'm not sure.
I just made a batch of tepache. My first time. Delicious!
I used to bake sourdough quite a lot, but then I developed a wheat allergy. Before the allergy I thought quite a bit about switching careers and baking for a living.
If you like fermenting, I highly recommend ginger beer from ginger bug. You need organic ginger for the bug (I think the non organic must be irradiated or something, ginger alone I find the conventionally grown won't ferment.) Once the starter is established you can use it to ferment any juice.
I have a ginger bug going. I made naturally carobanted "cola" using it. Def would love to try making ginger beer!
