Greetings, friends!

My name is Mike (aka The Fit Farmer).

I grew up a “city boy” living most of my former years not knowing where my food came from, and dealing with allergies that I later found out were from the junk food that I regularly ate (pop-tarts, Kool-Aid, fast food, etc.)

In my quest to be like Arnold Schwarzenegger, in my 20’s I became a bodybuilder, & personal fitness trainer and this lifestyle is what led me to eliminating process and junk food from my diet.

Once I started eating cleaner foods (foods that weren’t process, laden with sugar, without pesticides, herbicides and that wasn’t genetically modified), what do you know, my allergies went away.

During this time, along with my loving wife (Lacie), we both embarked on a quest to living a healthy, more sustainable homegrown lifestyle.

And we came to the conclusion that the cleanest & healthiest food we can eat, is food that we knew the story behind. And the best way to know that story is to start growing food ourselves. So we did. We started gardening in the city became hooked on growing food.

We enjoyed it so much so, that in 2014, we, along with our children, sold everything to pursue a more sustainable lifestyle. We sold our 2600 sq ft house in the city, to start a new life in a 700 sq ft YURT in the country.

Since then we have worked to craft our homestead into a profitable farmstead, producing food not only for themselves but for others. For years, I have ran a market garden, raised pasture ducks, chickens, & turkeys, for eggs & meat.

During this whole journey, I have discovered that this is the life that we are meant to live. Not only are we producing a lot of homegrown food, we have also learned that a homegrown life has also produced a better family connections and more fulfilling life.

Now, I teach thousands of people from various backgrounds how to live a more nutritious, more sustainable, and more connected homegrown life.
