  1. A lot of talking when it comes to justifying to kill, trying to link the act with something positive happening whatever to environment or yourself is hilarious. thanks for sharing

  2. Curtis, thank you for doing this and for mostly just asking good questions and letting him talk and explain his experience. What a fantastic, super bright, and hard working young man. It is wonderful to see the awareness he is gaining and understanding of the realities of the lifestyle. I think you urban farmers do need to rethink your lack of animals on your properties, if only to consider them on the small scale to keep your inputs on the farm and not have to outsource so much fertility. Yes they are a huge responsibility but they also bring joy and soul to life, and many of these species have been with us daily for tens of thousands of years as humans. They are part of us and us them, in my view and my wife and I always say that it's not all giggles and good times but we accept the responsibility and feel the animals are worth the sacrifices. They are part of the sustainability loop.

  3. Curtis, all my ducks are in a row! I've got the land, I've got the means, and I have the seed… I haven't had the time to watch a half a year's worth of your videos to catch up… I'm ready to rock, can you give me some advice? And could I send you some photos and questions, maybe through email or whatnot? I would be willing to pay a consultant fee or what ever your time is worth.

  4. Great journalistic work Curtis! Following you since this year. Having a background in journalism and as a professional musician (running a company atm and managing at a School of Arts) I got hugely inspired by all the info you're spreading, and by the way you're doing this.
    Watched a ton of videos, bought your book and started a small garden myself. Greets from The Netherlands, also called Holland by a lot of North American people 🙂

  5. No offense meant at all, I'm very familiar with internships/apprenticeships.

    However does anyone else get the sense that without Tobias and the ot her apprentice that this farm would start sinking on the task management front?

    Not sure how you could even pay a staff member even close to that level in overtime. Looking at 40 hours OT a week.

    Great video. Definitely took some caution away from this on dreaming too big while getting the farm in motion. Cheers Tobias and Curtis.
