Touched by Luck

In 2002, Ben Ripple, an organic farmer, decided to take a risk and gave $200.00 to a woman in distress in exchange for suspicious airline coupons. Luckily enough the coupons turned out to be good for travel anywhere in the world and Ben, accompanied by his future wife Blair, decided to fly to Bali for their "dream" vacation. While on the island, they were offered 8 acres of land for free, found work on a local movie set which enabled them to start their own business, and eventually became in the short period of 18 months successful owners of an organic farming operation on the island of Bali. Now their tremendous array of crops number over eighty and the fields measure over 10 acres. What was intended as a vacation quickly turned into a life transformation.
