For those ready to give up on the grind of city living in Los Angeles, there's a publication looking to help you chuck it all and become a farmer. It's called The Progressive Farmer, and it has an entire section of its website dedicated to "finding your place."

Here's an excerpted warning from their guide:

Country land isn't as cheap as it used to be. Martin says the value of even marginal farmland is rising sharply, especially if it's suited for development.
