About Us

Mark has made it his mission since then to inspire, educate, and empower anyone who wants to farm. He himself started homesteading in mid-life and experienced a steep learning curve with lots of “learning moments.” He has a vision of people being self-sufficient as food growers, including gardening, raising animals, and food preservation in sustainable and regenerative ways.  He firmly believes that the experience of farming and homesteading is available to anyone. The Anyone Can Farm Experience is your opportunity to learn how to homestead and farm, to experience food freedom and benefit from the experiences and wisdom of an experienced farmer. 

Jill Baker, wife of Mark and co-operator of Baker’s Green Acres, brings a lifetime of farming experience to the table (literally).  She had the good fortune to grow up with gardening parents and farming grandparents. She’s raised many different animals through the years. As she and Mark have raised eight kids, including homeschooling them, she’s developed her vision for working with nature’s systems to keep the farm and family healthy, which includes food preservation and cooking what the homestead provides. She brings her perspective on farming, homesteading, and raising a farm family. Watch for kitchen how-to’s and healthy lifestyle training from her.
