Back in 2019, Troy and Cindy Dickens quit their jobs, sold their house, paid off every dollar of debt, and started farming half an acre while living in a school bus off-grid.

A farmer told me something that stopped me cold: "I don't think we ever designed the farm well enough around having children." Seven years in, two kids, and that sentence had never been said out loud until I asked. Almost nobody designs their farm for their kids.

The last time Troy Dickens and Diego talked was 2020: no kids, a farm in Massachusetts, and Troy living in a converted school bus. Five years later, Troy and Cindy run Tilth and Timber on about three-quarters of an acre in Castine, Maine, with a five-year-old and a three-year-old on the farm every single day. As Troy puts it: "I must've had all the time in the world back then." Click here to learn more about Troy and Tilth and Timber Farm. Watch the episode here!
