  1. Great 4 day workshop guys on a awesome farm. We worked around the weather with lectures in the morning and hands on in the garden in the afternoon. Jodi had it setup so we could all get our hands on experience, from breaking in new ground through to irrigation, seeding, planting, harvesting, washing, drying, packing, labelling and we got to use all the tools. Curtis was born to teach and has the knowledge to back him.

  2. every bio intensive site you go to is so beautiful! obviously because it's natural. but yeah drone shots with the lush greenery of the trees wow. nice to see right now all I see is snow so I appreciate it very much!

  3. Awesome! Thank you for sharing, Curtis! Is Jodi still double digging the beds in the new market garden or is he using some sort of tillage implement for initial preparation? It looks like he has adopted the 30" beds too ey?

  4. Great to see some good videos coming out from your visit to the Roebuck Farm, Curtis. Great to see someone else in New Zealand growing veggies and using animals as an integral part of the farm. Check out Puramahoi Fields on Instagram and Facebook for another example .

  5. Curtis, thank you for converting meters to feet and inches for us dumb Mainers. Thank you for showing us farming in other parts of the earth. Mars is next with hydroponics. Love your videos, so inspirational. Be Blessed my friends.

  6. He says he grazes the animals in the trees. Intensive grazing, short duration,, long recovery. Every 24 hours, preferably 12, but what were the recovery times an the ratio of animal to paddock?

  7. I'm looking for a caretaker to continue my food forest in Feilding called Makino Food Forest. It has been a community asset for the last 12 years and I'd love the new owner to keep it going. If you know someone who might want this property please send them this link: https://youtu.be/c2Q_XTXTL0o

  8. Nice to see the NZ context. We are not doing market gardens, but we are doing sheep intensively on 5 acres in South Westland NZ, using chickens (40 heritage breed) to speed up the breakdown of the sheep manure, and adding the high value chicken manure at the same time. The eggs pay for the chicken feed which becomes the fertilizer, the chickens are the rototiller and fly control. We harvested 167 square bales off just 1 acre in February to sustain our sheep through the winter. Its the end of May now, we still have lots of green pasture to feed. New are using sheep netting ( electric) and two wire portable poly wire fences to strip manage the two mobs, (ewes with ram and the lambs). This system works very well to control parasite reinfestation. BTW, we have 6 meters of rain annually! Would love to do a course with you, as we are just beginning to experiment with a small tunnel house right now. Richard Perkins was also an inspiration as well as you guys and Joe Salatin and Justin Rhodes. All of you- Great people sharing your knowledge – thank you!

  9. Hi I don't have time to explain, Live animal export to America is about to end – if you or your children research my facebook page on the Strong Sista's video I posted today. Later tonight at midnight I will explain why it will happen and why farmers should withdraw funds from BNZ bank straight away. On Facebook and Youtube always: Aarron Brunner I don't have time to research NZ and Aussie farmers who will be affected?
