In a recent article for The Guardian, Andrew Lawrence explored the circumstances that led these former athletes to embrace agriculture. Their journeys reflect a quest for deeper meaning post-retirement.
As Lawrence's reporting shows, athletes have gravitated towards farming for a host of reasons, whether it's working to benefit their community, finding an economically viable path, or exploring nutrition.
In the case of former NFL player Jason Brown, the 2003 death of his brother prompted him to rethink aspects of his life and seek significance beyond sports.
Brown and his family now operate a 1,000-acre farm, donating the crops they grow to nonprofit organizations in and around North Carolina, demonstrating commitment to community service.
