The answer depends on how much time you have on your hands and where your passions(interests) lie.
If you have a passion for something you will be energized and not drained by accomplishing your task, whether you are weeding, mowing, harvesting, etc.
If you do not have time you will be frustrated because you will not be able to get done what is needed.
I have 16 acres behind my house and on it have 2 acres for summer sweet corn that we sell to local grocers and wholesalers as well as the kids selling it on the corner.
I also have 2 acres dedicated to a small (3000 tree) tree farm. It takes time to get it started and keep it weed free but you would not have to water your farm like I do out in the west.
The remainder is used to produce high quality horse grass/alfalfa mix.
I really enjoy doing these things and it adds to my quality of life but if I did these for a living I think that would be different.

Hope this helps
