A few people have noted that while they appreciate and agree with the basic challenges that young farmers face nowadays, they wonder why and how Andrew was able to find land to start a farm, how did he afford it? Is he secretly a millionaire? He answers that question in this video.

Three farms are starting from scratch.

They are turning the dirt and hoping to be successful enough to turn a profit, and to become a valuable part of their communities as suppliers of organically grown food.

Peaceful Valley is giving them a head start by offering them special pricing as part of this Freshman Farmer program.
