Look at Thompson a 28 year old who has chosen to live rent free on a farm in southern Jefferson County since 2015. His tiny dwelling, the size of a garage, sits on land owned by two organic farmers. He survives on about 300 dollars a month, trading labor for room and board while material comforts are minimal.

He remains tied to city life through a salon job at Greenroom Salon in Lawrence and a cat named Bubba keeps him company.
