It is interesting watching the CSA pricing in Asheville. We are about an hour away and we are still paying a much higher premium for 4 season CSAs which are popping up all over the SE US it seems.
Awesome innovation! I'll have to come visit Matt soon. It was great meeting you in Asheville, Curtis!
impressive
i was curious from his last comment about people not wanting the green house tomatoes in decemberish months and rather wait till spring, do tomatoes start to taste worse the older the plant gets? i know with most leafy greens and such age makes them taste stronger but i never thought of tomatoes in the same way since ive seen some gardeners in warmer climates with 3yr old tomatoe bushes lol and i know some avid gardeners will take cuttings from suckers to grow the same tomato plant the next year. I just want to make sure im not wasting my time doing the same cus i wanted to take cuttings from my tomato plants before putting mine outdoors and then still have indoor plants at the same time to yield tomatoes through out winter
Amazing quick mobile setup ready to be moved, and high production. Very smart!
that is just too freakin cool. Very impressive
Great, yet another inspiring programe ! I am interested to hear more – crops that grow well for winter cropping and how the transition is made between summer and winter. I find its a compromise between getting crops in for the winter which means more successions close together and at the same time maintaining summer/autumn cropping. Thank-you Curtis.
I'm curious as to who paid for your trip. Was your visit done for advertisement for the farm reasons? I know guys around here that haven't sold more than a couple CSAs in years of trying. We've been at this 8yrs and haven't even came remotely close to this guys results. Doesn't sound saturated to me at all. I would love to find a market where I could load up a stand like in the pictures. If I did that here I would be a compost factory.
On top of it all we grow all winter too.
Curtis,
Love your channel great information and instructive, I call what you do farming with brains. When are you coming to New York we have a lot of interesting stories here with farmers upstate trying to access markets in the five boroughs.
can you let us in on how he tied the plastic ends down? wall ends are always a huge delema, time inestment vs flimsy
So awesome! I love how they took on the challenge of a saturated market! No excuses!! 😀
Just wondering what the life span of the plastic is when in contact with pvc piping? I've heard mixed reviews about letting the two touch.
Did I hear him say that people wouldn't want to buy garden fresh tomatoes in the Winter…!?!
I have no research to back this up, but it's my suspicion that a great majority of markets in the US are becoming saturated (I could be completely wrong on this suspicion…). I ran a farm in Pittsburgh area last year, and we got a slot at the downtown market, center city (best market in town), and the richest suburban market, and there were already 2 solid organic farmers at these places, and they had basically saturated the entire city. We were also up against 3 wholefoods. Is this a common problem farmers are having? We could have went away from markets, of course, but the value of market sales is so high, that when we ran the numbers, we just felt like it wasn't worth it to sell to wholefoods, because we would have needed to increase production by 30%. Cool to see this farm find a niche in a saturated market… What are your thoughts on this?
How did he build his soil so fast? Additionally how much initial capital was put up to start the farm? Thanks for the video Curtis.
I wonder, what happened with them… I couldn't find them anymore… 🙁
I literally started yelling yes! watching this video because I'm looking to start my farm on rented land next year and was looking for validation of converting a trailer into a walk-in/post harvest processing station. Thank you guys, so valuable!
Was $100k gross or net?
Hey Curtis I love your videos and have been inspired to start my own backyard farm and was wondering if you'd recommend starting out with your online course or begin with just your book and come back to your course after I have established myself? Looking to begin with just microgreens and slowly add in other produce along the way. Thank you for everything you do and keep up the good work!
What happened to Matt Coffey? He seemed to disappear
