Mike Dickson, known online as The Fit Farmer, is a former professional natural bodybuilder who traded the gym life for farm life—growing his own food, raising animals, and living off the land. In 2014, he and his wife, Lacie, felt called to pursue a simpler, more intentional way of living. They sold their city home, moved their young family into a 700 sq. ft. yurt in the countryside, and began their homesteading journey—fueled by faith, family, and a desire to live out their values. Today, they homeschool their children, run a thriving farmstead, and share the ups and downs of their agrarian lifestyle on Mike’s YouTube channel, The Fit Farmer. Through his content and public speaking, Mike encourages others to live healthier, more connected lives rooted in faith, family, and the land.
