Actually, I do own property. My grandfather left me a 60-acre working beet farm. I run it with my cousin Mose. We sell beets to the local stores and restaurants. It’s a nice little farm… sometimes teenagers use it for sex.

Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
It is the Dwight sales pitch in its purest form: he answers a question nobody asked with a land-owner's pride, a tidy business plan and then, with a dead-straight face, a throwaway detail that should end the conversation. The punchline is that he thinks the last sentence is a selling point. It established the beet farm that every later Schrute Farms gag, from the bed-and-breakfast to the beets, grew from.

In 'Office Olympics' (season 2, episode 3, first aired 4 October 2005), Michael takes Dwight along to sign the closing papers on his new condo while Jim and Pam run an office-wide games tournament back at Dunder Mifflin. At the condo, Dwight starts quizzing the agent Carol and the association head Bill about the property, and talks up his own 60-acre beet farm, run with his cousin Mose. Carol and Bill start to suspect that he and Michael are a couple. The episode, written by Michael Schur and directed by Paul Feig, is also where Mose first appears.
