How can i become a farmer?
There’s a big difference between moving to the country as opposed to, shall we say, “buying the farm”! If you just intend to move to a country setting, without becoming a farmer (i.e., you were being somewhat facetious about becoming a farmer), then, just move there! But, be aware that country living comes with a price! You will be further away from shopping, social activities, sports activities, museums, etc, etc, etc. Peace and quiet is one thing; boredom is quite another! However, if you really want to be a farmer, it is a HUGE undertaking (pun intended! the expression, “buying (or bought) the farm” refers to people who did as you want to, and, eventually, passed away (i.e., relatively few folks look forward to “retiring” to (and dying in) the city, or the expression would have been “bought the skyscraper!”).

You don’t have to buy a farm to be a farmer. If you are interested in getting out of the city for a bit and learning something about farming I would suggest checking out the wwoofers web page at http://www.wwoof.org/. They offer exchanges where you get free room and board in exchange for your work, as well as a whole variety of opportunities. Good luck!
