A talented wordsmith with a passion for farm life will write his or her way into owning a 35-acre Virginia horse farm.
Rock Spring Farm in Essex County, Va., has been owned by Randy Silvers, his late wife, Margie, and his second wife, Carolyn Berry, for more than two decades.
However, that’s about to change. And although the farm is worth an estimated $600,000, it will be sold for a nominal fee of $200.
That’s because Silver and Berry aren’t selling the farm at all, but rather giving it away to the winner of an essay contest that began in March of this year. The winner and two runners-up will be chosen from 25 finalists in late-November.

My essay would go like this.........
WHY I WOULD LIKE TO BE THE WINNER OF YOUR FARM.
I live in Northern Virginia. This place is a shithole. Traffic congestion, illegals, high taxes, nogs gone wild, crappy road conditions have just ruined this area. Your farm in Essex County sounds like an idyllic place to live and retire. I love the country life and the pace at which it goes. The fresh air and quiet tranquility of your farm would be the best health care that everyone could use.
Please accept this essay so as I can get the FUCK OUT OF THIS SHITHOLE AREA! Thank you.

What a farce.
The contest rules state that if they don't raise at least a million dollars through the contest (for a farm valued at most $600K) then they can return the money and say never mind.
Oh, and you are not allowed to visit and inspect before entering. No way to know whether there is a black mold problem that would require the house to be torn down.
The winner of this thing could actually be the biggest loser.

I wouldn't take that worthless land for even $200.
I'd rather have a .10 acres in Fairfax.
