Tim Farmer

A life-long Kentuckian, Farmer has been an outdoor lover since childhood. He was flyfishing before the age of 8 and squirrel hunting at 10. However, in 1984, a motorcycle accident left the Carter County outdoorsman without the use of his right arm.

Thanks to a strong will and adaptability, Tim regained the capacity to continue doing the many things he loved. He learned to shoot a rifle cross-shouldered, tie fishing line with his mouth, and shoot a bow and arrow with his teeth (with bull’s-eye accuracy).  In 1995, this resiliency led him to Kentucky Afield.  Each week, he finds himself in the woods and on the water from Pikeville to  Paducah.  

Farmer is a husband and father of two daughters who have grown up on the show through occasional appearances. He believes that any place outdoors can be a place for families; men, women, boys and girls alike.
