Inspiring.

I would only finance if you're already having success on small scale. You better be able to plant grow harvest sell, do book keeping... financing is a risk. I think one of the best ways if a person can manage it is maintain a day job while you dip your toe into the ide of growing foods to sell. You may find there's not a market in your area for what you want to sell.. you may find you suck at farming and need to practice.. I'd probably use a day job to build up capitalto get started before jumping in feet first...

Love your book and I enjoy your videos. But I do think these numbers vary GREATLY from region to region. I live in Belgium (Europe) where the cost of labor is wildly expensive. For us, I think probably half of your revenue will be labor cost, then another 25% for operational cost at least. However, 150k/acre (Canadian dollars I presume) translates to about 250k euro per hectare. This, I think, is unheard of for any farm in western europe, whether they are organic, conventional, CSA, or otherwise... I would be very interested to converse with other farmers from Europe who have reached these numbers indeed. Cheers!

Thank you!

So excited to find your podcast 💚

Totally. Those were probably the first 2 years in the entire history of the earth in the area of Vermont that it's ever flooded...

Great memories! Great podcast and still using that flame weeder!

So beautiful and inspiring, thanks a lot ❤

A lot of English cucumbers are seedless burpless hybrids and very difficult to find seeds.

I'm listening from Bangladesh

I'm not sure that the sea is rising. Very interesting science saying completely opposite of the narrative. Infact climate is going to cool

How many times a week should you use compost tea on tomatoes?

Way too many words without saying much. Way more talking than needed way way more talking to too much talking without saying a whole lot. We want to see the product we want to see the results. I don’t wanna hear you talk nonsense like oh my goodness you said the same thing I was just like I couldn’t. I fast forwarded through most of it because I couldn’t take anymore.

So the climate is getting warmer and you need a greenhouse??

Third year no luck, I amended the soil and still they are tiny. Help!!

Great info!! Thanks!!

Its not the presence of the nodes that tell you if your fixing nitrogen or not. You must split open the node with your finger nail and verify that it is red inside the node. If it is red then you have the bacteria present and they are actively fixing nitrogen. If it is white then no nitrogen is currently being fixed. Nodes tend to graduate in color over their cycle of the plants life and should end up red. If not then the right association of bacteria that fix the nitrogen for that plant is not present. Just fyi. Love that your showing how to use cover crops. Thank you.

Love it. Great podcast! Merci

Super useful and distinct from so much content out here. Thank you for these advice.

Avoid market saturation areas. I didn't have a single veggie leftover after todays market because demand is exceeding supply. Lettuce king.

I am looking to start a Hub. I really think it is the way to go for us. I cannot be standing at the farmer’s market every Saturdays since it is my main time to work the garden. I also want to help homesteaders that really do not have the volume to start their own. It is harder to get consistency but I think it is a good way to help others get a revenue from their farm.

Correction 31 minutes in… when you guys are talking about the soil “structure” being nice when wet and not nice when it’s dry. That is not called soil structure is soil “texture”. Structure is the habitat of the soil meaning the tiny insect and worm holes and tunnels and air pockets. That will be the same regardless of soil moisture. The texture is what you are referring to when talking about consistency of the soil. T the moisture of the soil and how hard or soft it is, if it’s. Crumbly or soft or hard and gritty, or sandy. These are all examples of soil texture.

Great video, thanks! I enjoyed reading your book and am happy to discover your channel here!

It's always great to hear JM's good advice, thank you for everything!

There are a lot of producers in my area, so competition at the farmers market is keen and not what I'm interested in after a long career dealing with clients in another setting. I upsell my produce with a soup and canned fermented vegetables CSA, which doesn't require that my vegetables look perfect (because I chop them up). They're also shelf or freezer stable, so if they don't sell in a particular week I have them for another week. It does require that I rent a local commercial kitchen for several hours month. This allows me to market garden and to cook, two passions. And it prolongs my season to year round. Folks eat less soup in the summer when I'm busy in the garden, but over the colder months they love the soup. I can freeze produce and use it later in soup. I'm thinking of pairing with a local baker to add bread to the CSA, since it goes so well with soup. I'd like to also add winter greens, so a soup/salad/bread CSA.

What is it? Ubie?

My grandfather in Mississippi had "pick your own" greens, peas, okra, melons and other things. I`m planting 20 fig and dwarf mulberry trees this year but with the goal of having enough trees for the birds and I and for cuttings to root and leave for free at a small rural church food pantry dropoff for poor people. Many can`t afford fruit trees or need encouragement to get any planted. I think it`s very important going forward to distribute food forest plants for the future because things are going downhill.

Thank you

Maude-Hélène!!! J'adore tellement l'écouter !

Great discussion!🤗💛🤗

This was the best one yet. Bravo 👏

We farm American Bresse chicken. It is interesting to hear these stories. We are trying to this in Texas. We love those chickens. We cannot say they are French but really they are the same chickens. We are working on moving them to be finished with milk. But we sell them for much less and to normal people. So we have a while to go. They taste so much better than any chicken you would ever eat. They are so much fun too.

We recently bought a BCS740 with a 85cm Berta flail to work in our wood now it has reached the stage that our old Massey Ferguson 35x won't get in there any more. While we really like the 740 there is no doubt we couldn't live without the 35x. At least here in the UK it would be a lot cheaper to start with an old Fergie or similar along with some second-hand implements than to go fully down the 2-wheel route. There are simply not sufficient implements for 2-wheel tractors on the used market (and almost no used 2-wheel tractors out their either). Over here, old Fergies, David Browns, etc are reasonably abundant and spares are readily available and cheap.

Which tool would you say to buy first?

Ive been waiting for this one ❤

Love her! Thank you!

Really looking forward to this one!

❤ Oh great !

Hey JM, love your work, been inspired by your story since you started lecturing and put your first book out. I'm a trained community health education presenter who has taught organic gardening, now volunteering in Vanuatu in the Tropics sharing my carpentry skills with young men,...and enjoying tropical food growing of course. What about actual soil amending and correcting deficiencies and imbalances with a soil test? Have you ever done this? Most 'organic' growers are clearly missing the foundational mineral needs and balance and focusing on questionable science, that as you say doesn't affect 90+% of what produces quality vegetables. I used to be hardcore 'organic' until I discovered the soil science done by William Albrecht (1940s), defining how to fill up the base mineral saturation in the soil and correct major and minor minerals for a healthy structure and function in the soil. He discovered this impacted animal and human health more than other approaches, that addressing the underlying mineral difeciencies and imbalances could over time give truly nutrient dense healthy produce. Niel Kinsey from Kinsey Ag wrote textbooks on this topic and lectured extensively. I find thier soil recommendations very easy and straight forward. Blessings brother Keep up the good work, thankyou for sharing your journey and passion for growing healthy local food, you have truly inspired more in this space than most and in my books you deserve a medal. Growers that focus on healthy clean veg are the champions of society.......along with mothers, lol Btw im still hardcore organic composting and Mulching creating peds in nicely aggregated soil, but now with true soil science as I understand it as a foundation.

This man definitely has read mans search for meaning by Viktor Frankl

Perfection! 🤩

Great podcast. . All of this relates to the cannabis industry as well. This is how things should be done in all types of agriculture. Regenerative farming can regenerate the planet.

In the wake of climate deniers the dolphins swim calmly, peacefully, lovingly, & playfully. The flocks of geese fly overhead and Wild Geese by Mary Oliver comes to mind. Jah bless.

These podcasts are so good and informative, so many details and intricacies being talked about on each one. keep them coming

I get more of the skinny beets, only a few turn out nice and round. How do you get them so uniform each single seed of was planted 3 in from the others

Extrapolating, what you explain is good for any company. Very well explained.

Yes, helpful video. Thanks for sharing! Greetings from Germany
