Farm from Close is the debut EP and first commercial release by the American rock band Hinder.

[16][17] Shortly after the cover band's performance ended Hanson and Garvey approached Winkler and the three instantly became good friends and formed the nucleus of Hinder.

[24] Throughout 2002-2003 the band performed extensively in the Oklahoma City area,[25] raising funds to rent out small clubs and venues to gain exposure to large crowds, purchase air-time on radio statins to promote their shows,[26] and began performing shows regularly at The Blue Note in Oklahoma City every other Friday, gaining a large fanbase, that was crucial in gaining the attention of major record company executives.

[27][28][29] The group also borrowed a total of $45,000 from their families in order to purchase studio time to record their debut EP, which came to be "Far from Close", in a 2008 interview Hanson stated "We had it figured out, if we didn't pay them back within a year and a half we were gonna quit the band and get jobs.

[47][48] Due to immediately getting to work on their debut album Extreme Behavior after signing with Universal Records in 2005,[49][50] the band did not remaster or re-released Far from Close or promote it in any way.
