Do you want to stay in Maine? Cause the Wendell Berry Farming Program in Kentucky is exactly that, it’s a free 2 year degree in agriculture, you just have to work the land the whole time, room and board is included I’m pretty sure. So you get experience and an associates as well as 2 years of not paying rent or for food, all you got to do is work and learn.
