The average American farmer is over the age of 60 currently.
They are going to age out of the farming industry soon (thousands are right now). They are tired of working 18+ hour days and managing hundreds of acres of land.
They don’t want to sell their farms to corporations or developers. They love their land. Many try to pass the farms onto their kids. This isn’t always an option.
These farmers are actively looking for millennials and Gen Z individuals who are willing to work hard and do right by their land.
The farmers are willing to:
lease/rent acres so you can get experience
sell off parts of the farm to people who promise to do right by the land
engage in seller financing so you don’t need to call up the banks
take you on as an apprentice for a year before they retire
make anything work
Trust me… these people are exhausted. Make it easier for them to retire and preserve their farms. No one wants to watch a family farm turn into 50 unaffordable apartment units.
I am breaking all this down here and inside of my publication (House of Green)! We are entering into a land revolution. And I am here to document it!
