I was going to recommend WWOOF to you but apparently I already did 11 months ago.

Farming is hard work. For a lot of people it's rewarding. My grandfather loved his plot. Me? I put in raised beds and my wife and kid plant a bunch of stuff but then they ignore it the entire summer while I'm gone so I get to see the the "what might have been" harvest every year. Dunno. I got at least 3 cups of onions this year... and holy shit, pull your parsnips when they're young or they turn into Triffids.
