Interesting look at a week. When you say WE what do you mean. Is it 3 people 10 people or what?
so much good information. Thank you! you're my farmer hero
Very good video Curtis! The past handful of videos have been especially informative. Thanks for posting them.
Where are some good companies to order seeds from? I have had lot of difficulty finding bulk seeds. If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated.

Trying to email you about an issue downloading the digital tools package but it keeps coming back to me as undeliverable. How can I contact you?
i would love an episode on how to locate seed suppliers, how you plan out what you will do with your beds and a review of different seeders
Sometimes you can get wood chips dumped on your sites free from arborists doing tree pruning. Spread on the paths, the chips make walking in rainy weather much much easier. The wood chips also have many other benefits.
Thx for sharing. Would love to see some videos on how you package, portion and pricing. Also how you market to get buisness.
GGG Curtis as usual
the best videos…
I look forward to taking your course.
how many hours do you spent working every day
When you walk, talk and spin, please go the other direction occassionally … im getting sick
I know what you mean about the rain, getting a little wet is okay, but who wants to be working out there soaking wet. It sounds like I'm on the same page as you are with the planning. Salad Greens take the longest (I'm looking forward to using my new greens cutter soon), so we do them Thursday for Friday deliveries. It's the housecleaning and meals that take me away from my daily routines, darn those necessities.
I'm in Wisconsin and I tried stale seed bedding over the winter – phenomenal! Also used landscape fabric for beets and spinach. Again…amazing. Keep the tips coming!
Great video, thanks for sharing the info. I noticed your radish patch that you are filming in uses an overhead irrigation setup. How do you decide which crops get drip and which get overhead? Or is it seasonal? Thanks again Curtis!
We appreciate all the great tips, thanks for taking the time to share these with us!
Hi Curtis, one question if you wouldn't mind – we're trying to source a good place for different sized plastic product bags for salad greens etc…. Could you give some suggestions?
Great video Curtis. I am super interested in the business/practical side of the business and this really helps me out. Keep up the good work and the great vids!
With all the fresh greens, do you ever have problems with leaf miners? What do you do about them if so?
Merci pour tout ce que tu donnes en ce moment … Bravo pour tes belles vidéos !
Great information! thank you! i love your videos!
Curtis, when you spend Thursday harvesting does that include your post harvesting on that same day too?
