  1. Thank you for all the videos Curtis. I'm moving from the UK & starting an organic farm in Kenya, East Africa in a month on a 1.5 Acre farm. Both yours & Jean- Martin's videos are a godsend!

  2. Hey Curtis,
    I'm looking into berries and such on top of regular greens etc, should i run them north/south or east/west? I am redoing my raised bed plantings in order to stop kale/chard from reaching for light, and I can't seem to find a consensus. What are your preferences?

  3. hi Curtis! really interesting stuff, I would like to know how JM is selling all this stuff?
    by the way : please do not underlay music while you are speaking.

  4. I assume the chicken are in the geenhouse also to fetilize the soil (in addition to free tilling, weeding and keeping them alive during the winter…). Is there an estimation of how much nitrogen will be added to the soil during this period ?

  5. The shots from the air are beautiful. Is this something you would like to move to ? Heavy set up costs but JM has done the learning and put it straight into financial top gear. thank-you for the updates on what he is doing.

  6. My friend next to me wants to know if JM farms are subsidized. He can't believe they're profitable enough… Hope this isn't a very uncomfortable question. Thanks for the tour 🙂

  7. Hi Curtis, could you ask JMF where he moves all of the produce, I know much of it is to CSA and restaurants, but with a farm that size that intensive those cannot be his only outlets. Does he do any wholesale movement of product?
    Thanks for asking!

  8. Fantastic!!! Some constructive feedback: having the music behind you talking is distracting and frankly, annoying. Enjoy it much more when I can focus my attention on what you're saying and seeing what you're talking about than trying to hear you over that noise. Thank you.

  9. Fascinating. If you can hold 20k/wk all year, you're talking real $$$$. Do you think the law of diminished return comes into play at all here? Like when you scale up in ag, or anything really, the burden of overhead and staffing costs often leaves the owner making little more profit than when he was small or a couple man crew. Thoughts?
