Want free farmland? It’s in the Yukon

They say there’s no such thing as a free lunch, but there is such a thing as free farmland, so long as you’re willing to go up north to get it.

Giving away land is nothing new in rural Canada, and many towns have offered free or heavily discounted lots to people willing to come out and make a living there.

A number of towns in Manitoba have offered lots for people for $10 (with $1,000 down payment and if you build a house there within a year).

But in the Yukon, there’s farmland available for free. All you need is to be at least 19 years old, a Canadian citizen, and to have lived in the Yukon for at least a year.
