If not for Covid-19, she and Smith may have started a 5-year expedition from Cape Town, South Africa to Russia.

According to Strutt & Parker real estate agent, in 2020, when Covid-19 complicated developments, 45% of the British farms were sold to non-farmers, and in the past two years, more and more people

Initially, to make a dream of abandoning the street, Knight and Smith tried to find a price of about $ 400,000 but without results, they were forced to redirect north.

Most farms have been sold under contracts before being published in the market, Knight recalls.

Sometimes they wonder if they can come true or not.

Although this price is much higher than expected, they still decide to down the money after the first time to see.

Like many people for the first time as farmers, they are not only interested in profits but also focus on principles.

We study the method of bringing profits on a small area and found the phrase 'regenerative agriculture' on Google, Knight said, whether they will conduct intercropping two or more crops, combining farming

In this way, the amount of money earned to go far beyond the income of monitors farmers per hundreds of hectares.

However, the fact was more harsh than expected, they had to spend $ 8,000 to buy a used greenhouse.

The first year, after an unfavorable spring is the hot summer hot weeks, dry.

Livestock is also unfavorable.

If not passionate and dream, don't try.

However, the two will not give up because they have put all the wealth and effort into this project.

Starting a new life as a farmer will not be like making an office with a fixed salary and knowing what exactly what to do.

Knight trusts that she and Smith are exactly where they need anything about what is the upcoming challenge.

From your own experience, I know I will eventually choose to be agriculture.
