Mike Dickson, known online as The Fit Farmer, is a former professional bodybuilder who transitioned from the health and fitness industry to full-time homesteading after realizing the most reliable path to healthy living was growing his own food. In 2015, Mike and his wife, Lacie, sold their city home and moved into a 700-square-foot yurt in the countryside to pursue an agrarian, family-centered lifestyle. Today, they operate a thriving farmstead, raising pasture-raised livestock and cultivating a productive market garden. Through his YouTube channel, The Fit Farmer, Mike documents their journey and encourages others to take ownership of their health, food, and families. He is also a passionate teacher and speaker, helping people reclaim a simpler, more intentional, and connected way of life.
