Thinking about buying a farm but don’t know where to start? In this video, Tai Lopez breaks down exactly how he went from online entrepreneur to owning multiple farms—including this 300-acre organic farm.

🌾 Learn the 3 key steps to buying a farm:
1 • How to pick the right location (latitudes, rainfall, and growing seasons)
2 • What soil types actually matter (limestone vs. glacial vs. sandy)
3 • Why infrastructure is everything (don’t buy raw land unless you really know what you're doing)

Tai also shares bonus insights like:
• Where in the world has the best farmland (U.S., Europe, Brazil?)
• What mistakes to avoid as a first-time buyer
• How to bring a piece of the city with you to avoid culture shock
• The real dangers of farm life—and how to ease into it
