"Every year millions of acres of farmland are abandoned. Countless hobby farms and homesteads are sold off and bulldozed. At the same time, millions of young people dream of returning to the land. They want to help heal the earth by getting their hands dirty. The only way they can see achieving their dream is a long trip through the rat race. SKIP is a skills-based curriculum that people can complete in their spare time. Public documentation of their growing abilities impresses those seeking a worthy heir. Suddenly a more direct path to their little patch of heaven appears. A path that SKIPs the debt. SKIPs the rat race. SKIPs the 9-5." from the back cover.
