You are a farmer, a person of the land that has worked hard, day in and day out, to grow produce, raise livestock, and ensure the survival and prosperity of your family and the surrounding community. You may have left the city behind to become a farmer, married into a farming family, or been born into a farming community. Whatever the case, farming has defined your life before becoming an adventurer. You have a great practical knowledge of dealing with animals and promoting plant growth, and are observant of the changing weather patterns and of the changing of seasons as well.

Discuss with your DM how you learned your craft, where you worked as a farmer prior to your adventuring days, what kind of farm you worked on, and why you left the farm behind. Perhaps you were blamed as an ill omen after a bad harvest during your first season working there. Did a vile contractor swindle your family's farm out from under you? Maybe your family farm and the village it surrounded were destroyed in a brutal attack. Whatever the reason, you may have left the farm, but the farm may never leave you.
