That’s the dream: meaningful work on the land that grows food, feeds your soul, restores the Earth, and grows your bank account. It’s not just a fantasy. This book will show you how real people just like you are making it their reality—and how you can do it, too.

Living FREE with the Land is your guide to making the dream a reality—no matter your background, budget, or starting point. Michael Hoag delivers practical, actionable strategies backed by decades of experience, along with proven business models and financial tools designed specifically for land-based livelihoods.

Inside, you’ll discover how to:

• Build multiple, resilient income streams from your land and skills.
• Get over working for every dollar, by investing in yourself, your family, and your dreams in ways that build long-term wealth.
• Work smarter, not harder—by creating semi-passive income streams that let you relax while the money flows in, instead of getting stuck in endless hustle.
• Avoid the money traps that sink most homesteads and farm startups.

Along the way, you’ll see how ordinary people are building regenerative livelihoods—lives that naturally enrich their bank accounts, their land, their communities, and future generations.

Whether your dream is a thriving homestead, a land-based business, or simply more resilience and independence for your family, this book gives you the tools to make it work.

Because living free with the land isn’t just possible—it may be the most rewarding decision of your life.
