Quantcast Vegetarian StarJason Mraz Is One Of MNN’s 40 Farmers Under 40

40th Annual Songwriters Hall of Fame Ceremony - Show

According to the USDA, the average American farmer is 55 years of age or older.

But that doesn’t mean there aren’t youngins out there.

And hot ones at that!

Jason Mraz is featured in Mother Nature Network’s “40 Farmers Under 40,” great profiles of young, rosy cheeked agrarians who might take the ipod filled with Greenday and Coldplay with them to the field to harvest crops.

The 32 year old raw vegan singer-songwriter has an avocado garden, which sits on five acres in San Diego, California.

Jason eats his share of 2-4 avocados a day and if you recall us telling you, created a dessert made with avocados and chocolate, the chocomole.

“I do sell my avocados,” Jason told CNN last year. “I mean, they don’t have a sticker on them that say that these are from the Mraz Farms, but I moved into an area that all of us are avocado farmers.”

Visit mnn.com to read who the other 39 farmers under 40 are, which include contributors to noted publications such as the Huffington Post and grist.org and an actor in a Peabody-award winning film.
