Curtis I thank you for all your shared knowledge, cheers from Texas..
Hi Curtis would you be interested to visit and film an episode on 3D Ocean Farming http://greenwave.org/3d-ocean-farming/ , perhaps? Just an idea to take a look at something different. An innovative approach to sustainable, vertical aquaculture that can potentially provide sustainable low inputs with high profits. Love your book and YT btw. Keep crushing! 😉 Best Don
Curtis, it's awesome to hear someone talk about screwing up and learning from mistakes as part of a growing process. We don't hear much about this in today's society and I'm glad that you can be so open with everyone. Makes us all feel kinda human, huh? Thanks for the videos and for taking the time to help us learn.
Love your philosophy and approach to just doing it and learning and teaching!
Your SO awesome Curtis!
Always on the mark, Curtis. You are fabulous.
It is not about organic or conventional or permaculture, it is about improving our planet with regenerative agriculture systems.
Awesome back drop CS. How grateful we should all be that you ARE willing to share your journey with us. I'm not sure if I would still be thinking about farming if it wasnt for you. Keep going.
you mean permaculture…
Great one! Normally I don't comment on youtube but this is a homerun 🙂 Would love to know more about your views on perennial crop farming. I mean, I get that most perennials don't generate cash flow quickly and produce might come all at once, but isn't this the way forward ecologically? No soil disturbance, more carbon in the soil, increase of biodiversity; as a Permaculturist we probably have similar ideals. What ways could you think of to combine this 'regenerative' way of producing crops with farming commercially? Thanks for all the good work man
Awsome stuff again Curtis. We are in a similar situation to Jodi Roebuck. We have a small farm, predominantly livestock, we pasture meat rabbits like Daniel Salatin but don't have a cashflow to carry us through this inital developing phase with the meat rabbits. We also have sheep and pigs but the legal aspect that you mentioned regarding butchering keeps holding us back. So with your inspiration, and others, we are expanding our family garden to take on a couple of cash crops to get that cashflow 'flywheel' established.
The ending part is awesome and very important. The biggest hindrance to learning and self-improvement is pride. Before you can learn, first you have to admit you don´t know something and second you have to have a strong enough ego to say you might fail before you get it right. Many/Most people are either afraid to admit they don´t know something, or else they are afraid of failing and feel shame when they do fail.
Awesome info – I love your attitude and willingness to share. Thanks a lot!
Amen, Curtis! Keep pushing.
Any plans to visit or highlight small farms in Europe?
The right thought track with "traditional education". Coming from someone who went through that experience personally, and then chose to spend years working in that same exact environment. Focus on the positive. Let us get outside today and share more worldly experiences with new people! Cheers for Curtis.
Awesome video!! It's so important to start going back to nature and respecting earths processes to get away from the type of agriculture which is destroying the planet. I have just started learning more about it and am so excited at what it can do for the future!
Thanks Curtis I find your sharing very inspiring. I am a new farmer and like you I too am making mistakes and learning this year my vegetables bombed. I have decided to shrink my vegetable farming and improve soil fertility on a small part and start growing vegetables on that. Pranik Farmer India.
this was inspiring, thank you!
I am so very grateful for you always sharing your knowledge. I have been so inspired by your and others efforts. I'm now farming a 2 acre market garden and probably the happiest that I have been. Thank you!
"Regenerative" is the new "sustainable". One topic that might be good for it's own video is approaching farming during our "golden years". Our context is quite different at 60 something to 80 something. I for one would like to just generate some cash flow to support my gardening which is currently more hobby than business.
Gabe Brown got me inspired!
Thats exactly what im about to do blending a few organic practices into 1.
Farmers need to start processing their products to sell them as processed food, cutting the middle men, from fresh products to processed and preserved food. Been able to control the flow of your products gives you some power to control the price. From raw milk to cheese, butter, yogurt; from fresh fruits to jams, from porks to sausages, from beef to jerky; etc.
Can grain farming be done through this methodology? Or only fruits vegetables and animals?
Regenerative agriculture is definitely a groundswell movement being implemented mostly by small-scale family run farms. Traditioning from traditional industrial farming is a challenge and this is a very useful video on how to achieve this / http://www.rainwaterrunoff.com
Hahaha boy did you not know what you where getting into 🙂 looking back on this, your an alright man Curtis, I would say good but none are good but god. Take care,
Peace and love brother
Onground revolution!! <3
Why does everything have to be profitable?
