Thought Experiment - Is it possible they paid for the farm, Dairy & Operation by themselves?

BF fans often claim that there’s no evidence the farm is supported by a trust fund, that we don’t know their financial situation, and that they funded everything themselves on a bootstrap budget.

I find that highly unlikely.

During my time as an exchange student, I lived on a dairy farm of a similar size that had been inherited. Even with no mortgage, life was rough and extremely modest. My host dad worked 365 days a year without a single day off, and he hadn’t been on a vacation in decades because a farm of that size simply isn’t profitable enough to hire much help.

Contrast that with BF’s lifestyle: they frequently leave the farm for extended periods—months at a time—which alone is strong evidence they have significant financial backing. Show me one truly independent farmer who can abandon their farm operations for months and still afford expenses like $30,000+ for a European cooking school.

Let’s also consider their background. She is a ballerina who’s never worked at a company, and he has a BA in history from BYU. If they bought the farm, what would their mortgage look like? Would they even qualify for one? Beyond that, there’s the cost of brand-new dairy equipment, robotic milking systems, shit vacuums and livestock. We’re talking about multiple millions in investments. Admittedly, my knowledge of current farming costs is a bit outdated, but it seems implausible that they could have started or now operate the business without substantial generational wealth.

Even if they’re earning some income from their drop-shipping ventures, white-label meat boxes, and social media, I highly doubt the farm is financially self-sustaining or paying itself off. The mortgage and loan payments alone would be overwhelming and crushing them.

If anyone has insight into whether it’s even possible for them to fund and sustain this operation without external financial backing, I’d appreciate it. As of now, I find their claims hard to believe.

Please, prove me wrong.
