Fail Fast in Action! 🙂 I love it.
Great job guys! Good luck.
I am curious about his use of the tractor, did he switch to a walking tractor from a big one?
We are in the process of buying a home in town that has 5 acres- 1 acre in the back and near the house that would be perfect for this. Now to research the market and get a walk in cooler…. Rosecreek Farms is relatively close to us (NW Alabama) sounds like a visit is in order. Thank you for all you do Curtis!
Very cool, It's nice to see I am not the only one who struggles with FOCUS! I am in the deep south, really hate that old farmer not sharing knowledge thing, don't they see not one is following in their footsteps? It is almost impossible to move forward without profits.
@2:00 Fly Check
Dude needs to get cable tv.
LMAO. That dude needs to cut down, way down, on the Red Bull.
Is anyone doing this type of farming in Central Mississippi
In West Tennessee, where I'm from, there is a saying;"If you can't make a living on 80 acres, sell half of it and make a living on 40".
awesome! can't wait to be there for the next event!
Thanks for the inspiration. Starting a farm in northern Alabama and this is exactly what I need to hear
Is this $100,000 net or gross?
AMEN Ray! We need to spread the word and get folks a growing!
"radical, man!"
I'e heard this a few times, but I want to work with animals not plants as much. Ideally I'd like to profit on both plants and animals. Is that a farfetched idea?
Couldn't chi kens still be used to fertilize and till the soil, while providing a source of commercial egg laying and stew chickens every 2 years?
Ray doesn't live too far from me
Curtis, Wow! It is soooo good to see a Southern small farmer excited about farming again! Small farmers in the Southern US have been economically beaten down, and destroyed by antiquated farming practices, US regulations, adverse weather conditions, and many including my father have given up. Much of the land has been sold to developers and will never return to agriculture use which puts the small farmer at an even greater rick of losing their farms to imminent domain. Thank you for sharing a productive modern system that makes practicing farming possible and profitable on a smaller homestead. You Rock!
This video was so much fun!!! And inspiring!
It's…FUN–a…SMILE to think about, anyway–just to…consider how, POSSIBLY, ones among my own "sixties" generation were, perhaps, a little bit of…"compost" towards some things MORE SO going on…presently? Urban…city "growers"–actual, URBAN, or, rural SMALL FARMS growers–from…where, within the "hippie movement", and, SOME "back to the land" ideas from THOSE YEARS (plowed…under, oftentimes, naturally), MAYBE, THAT created parts of those things happening, "nowadays", again? (Just "a thought"–from where a…NEWER "rebellion", if you like, as is NO LONGER as much…so "communes", etc., EMERGES–within…that there's SOMETHING OF a small bit of a cultural…heritage FROM THERE as well?) Hey…people OF ALL…SORTS–during every…"time" throughout HUMAN HISTORY have had roots, and, ties to…the land, of course. But…? Publications "yesteryear" SOMEWHAT–alike…Mother Earth News, Organic Gardening Magazine: The Whole Earth Catalog, Alternative Sources of Energy–and, some PEOPLE "out there", growers…publishers, TEACHERS (it slips my…mind, the woman writing her…book in "installments"–advertised in Mother Earth News–causing everyone's…WAITING FOR the next…chapter)? Caring, and…SHARING–and, working…TOGETHER? Yeah…any 'ol time, hey?
Love the passion
Tennessee is more mountains than south dude
awesome
I love his passion for self improvement awesome keep it up and keep spreading the knowledge it comes back in return
Solid, Guys!
Do you have any videos on how to sell your product?
Curtis and Ray are fabulous….I really enjoyed this interview. It's so difficult to not give into the temptation of growing many, many different crops, trying to stay focused definitely helps! I"m not having a lot of luck with Salanova though, the seed is so expensive and it's not been growing as well for me as I expected. The 90 degree weather we are now getting here in Virginia is not helping of course. Anyone else having trouble with Salanova?
He's a stones throw down the road from me, small world.
Any update on how he is doing now?
No livestock ? What about the soil? I just watched Allan Savory and now I want some animals.
What a coincidence! I grow a few things at home, not much, just watching videos at home, love my local Farmer’s market in Franklin, TN and saw this farmer and recognized him! Sells there every Saturday. His booth always has people lining up for produce. I have been buying produce from him all summer! His booth always looks so clean, neat , and organized. Rose Creek Farms one of the few with awesome lettuce in Tennessee in August. Hard to find local lettuce it is so hot now. Ate his lettuce in salad last night. Wonderful!
