What 7 morons disliked this video? Thanks Curtis for showing you secrets to us!
Curtis, you have such a cool background story with the bike! As a graphic designer, I feel like you should incorporate a bike into your logo somehow because I really like this story it has with it. Cool beginnings!
Hello Curtis !! Thanks for sharing more information about your experience and skills and knowledge !! Keep the story coming !! Thanks for sharing
just curious… have you ever thought about freight farming? or what are your thoughts on it?
Great stuff
wow, thats so inspiring completely mind blown how u started :O
I adore your story about inefficiency. Ive just love watching you grow as a human, growing your business Curt, cheers.
you could do the same vid when you get ten years in. i'll be watching
I am so thankful to God that he made you the way you are: extraordinary, brilliant, intelligent, and peaceful!
Wow you must have been really fit with 10 hours of pedal power.
With all those varieties of crops you must have really gotten to know their characteristics and how well they do for your climate.
hey! thanks for that information ! my respect for you and all the information that you share!
I have a question.. after watching this, and being in the position of wanting to get our market started on our land, we are trying to prioritize how to approach things. Would you say it's better to spend the available money for workshops and training, or would you start investing in infrastructure? We are starting biz plan and plan on applying for USDA loan and are also waiting for equip high tunnel. My thought is that it would be wise to get training and understanding of processes and how things flow first so that when we have financial capacity to get infrastructure purchased, we'll be in a position where we have a better grasp of what to do with it all. I'd be interested to hear your take… Especially since it's your workshop we're interested in. No bias, there, I'm sure! 😉
Thanks bud. Very informative, and full of invaluable information, as always.
Thanks for all the help Curtis. You're inspiring me to try somthing I never thought could be possible
I'm glad you mentioned the Pareto Principal. That has been a game changer in my life this year. Richard Koch definitely opened my eyes to being more efficient and focusing on what really matters. I encourage everyone to look into Richard Koch 80/20 manager book. It was at my local library.
Ho ho ho, the peddle power biking that keeps you in good shape.
This guy probably farms over 2,000 acres if I had to guess.
what about any danger on the bike?
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us! I am an entrepreneur and it is great to see others history in their passions. It is encouraging when I feel down to watch you!!!!
Maybe you can modify the old quick cut into a chute for harvesting microgreens with the stand
Curtis, did you ever screw up every now and then with a chef? Whether it was your first one or fifth one? Like maybe the found some dirt in your produce or some random spots on the leaves of the produce, any little thing that could turn a chef or his customers off? If so, how did you salvage the situation?
Hey buddy. I'm getting serious this year but I need certain items. Primarily a cooler, rototiller, bike trailer. If you have any dependable equipment you aren't using let me know. I'm growing only carrots, 2 varieties of mixed lettuce, arugula, beets, tomatoes and peppers. Keeping it simple. I've got a plot in the Glenmore, but need somewhere to put my tomatoes. Any suggestions?
I LOVE YOUR BOOK!!!! Thank you!
When mentioning the bike riding you said you were vegetarian, are you not anymore? If so why did you choose to eat meat again
Thanks Curtis. I really appreciate you.
Thank you so much for your work recording this type of material. It’s priceless.
At 12:11 in the vid , you talk about the rule of 80/ 20. Could you please fill me in . On this 80/20 rule? Please and thank you!
That’s the process of learning and growing, you MUST make mistakes, you wouldn’t be where you are if you hadn’t done things wrong so this was simply your journey. If one day I will follow your foot steps I must not be concerned about making mistakes. 🙂
Curtis exudes self confidence and Can Do energy and will probably make even bigger contributions to the good old world than he already has. An inspiring, resourceful guy.
Oh, god bless you Curtis. I hope I will do something as meaningful and inspiring when I’m an adult.
