You can rent a table and a car and a pony so why not a farmer, too?
Thanks to Ferndale resident Trevor Johnson you now can. Through
Rent-a-Farmer, the business started by Johnson, he hopes to change the
way we think about food, keeping it local and less stressed, and
ultimately healthier.

To that end, Johnson has started his own business called
"Rent-a-Farmer," which offers clients the chance to use the expertise
of real farmers to help them grow fruits and vegetables in their back
yards. "This is not about going back to the farm," said Johnson, who
graduated from Michigan State University with a degree in horticulture.
"It's about bringing the farm back to us."
