Curtis, I found this video to be very helpful. my question is how did you go about finding these opportunities to lease or barter for goods or services. my first logical guess is a local Craigslist.
When you do a lease are you doing 3 or 5 year lease. And if you no longer need the lease how do you handle that.
My question is how did you find that original property you started from? Word of mouth, connections that hooked you up, craigslist, work acquaintances, or did you literally just ask a bunch of home owners until one agreed?
Good stuff curtis and we can all tell you work really hard and deserve every bit of success in what you do.
I was curious what would you estimate 4 greenhouses 20×100 feet could make a year with a 6 month grow season and doing about half tomatoes and peppers or steady crops and half high rotation crops?
Do you pay for using their water on top of your rental/trade agreement?
Priceless info, thanks for sharin' Curtis!
is it better to grow crops that have high rotation or crops that are in demand by local restaurants?
How do you determine what to pay for renting out someone's yard and on average, what do you pay per year?
I guess you're not organic?
who pays for the water?
Great video Curtis!
Almost 2 years ago I began to live with someone who had neglected his garden for many years, my passion for growing food was reignited and I spent a lot of time making compost and renovating the garden. Relations between us broke down in the Summer, I moved to live with a friend a month ago, he has a small garden and I don't have the same enthusiasm to work in it because his energies are different. I am a very sensitive individual, I can find myself utterly dysfunctional with no enthusiasm to do anything but can absorb energy from others easily and change into a very active energy quickly when that energy becomes available.
I sorely miss not working with soil and plants and compost. I sit and wonder what and who I need to be able to grow food again and can only hope that a solution to my situation will appear soon!
Curtis, so all of the parcels you have leased they had water already hooked up to the land for usage? Regarding your own water usage for the crops, how was this worked out with the land owner? Thanks!
Do you have any tips of where can I go or call to find out if I can legally sell produce grown on my property or from neighbors property?
There is a small farmers market in my city of 150k people, also a CSA program with several delivery locations BUT— HOW DO I KNOW IF MY DEMOGRAPHIC WILL SUPPORT A BUSINESS LIKE THIS?
What happens when those constuction sites are done building and shade out this plot?
How do you manage water irrigation? how do you transport the water and who are you paying for it?
Do you cut sod when you come into a new plot or can you just till in grass?
do you have any security issues with the sites away from your home?
I've been doing this and now it's great I found u
Curtis, this was helpful. Eventually, I think I will be able to implement paying $100 a month, but right now I can only do veggies and my landowners are not getting more than $12 of veggies a week, but that will increase over time as I am getting more land.
Hi am from Sweden, what about the winter its very cold her can reach -20 how to protect the farm from snow and law tempretures.
