You don't know how to handle farm work.
It's backbreaking if you didn't start young, and haven't already trained your body to balance and move efficiently for either ground, vine, or tree harvesting.
I had experience at you pick'em farms growing up (basically, allowing passersby to come and pick leavings after the farmworkers have already harvested the good stuff that went to market) It's painful enough trying to get a couple gallons of produce for a month of family use. Trying to do it for a living?
Ouch.
