You are such a wonderful being and an inspiration in so many regards! Thank you so much for sharing your life, work, insight and experience! You are a blessing!
I have my regen bible on the shelf ready for when we buy our land which will be in a matter of weeks. At nearly 50 it’s better late than never, we will go slow and adapt to our capabilities and along the way we will create a legacy for our family and teach our kids and grandkids life skills. Thank you for all your time and knowledge as you have given us the confidence to make the move.
Love these style videos where you talk and walk round the farm showing updates, so many areas I haven't seen or haven't seen in ages. Farm is looking beautiful! You seem far more happy and balanced at the moment ! Happy to see!
I absolutely LOVE your farm walk abouts and seeing how the many of the less visited parts of your farm are developing. The tree growth out there has been amazing! One thing I envy is how you can free range all your various critters with simple movable electric netting and your crops are relatively unfenced. Here where we are we have mountain lions, bob cats and black bears, and there are loads of deer, elk, voles & rabbits, a wide variety of birds, etc. The mountain lions especially can easily leap over electric wires and fences to take out chickens, sheep and even a cow, and the grazers are eager, willing and able to destroy trees and vegetables year round. Sooooo, we're going to have to put some work into fencing certain areas more rigorously against the wildlife (both above and below ground) in addition to using the electric fencing to control the time spent by our critters on each specific paddock, not to mention keeping all the hungry wildlife and birds off our fruits and veggies! Nets over trees and berries as things get closer to ripening should give us a chance of taking what we want/need before opening them up for the wildlife to clean up and enjoy. But it seems like a LOT more work (and money for fencing) than the more open feel of your farm. Wonderful that you and your family are carving out a lot more time now for enjoying each other vrs constantly working, working, working! There are so many who are eager to learn/apprentice with you for a season or more to really master the skills they need to start their own successful farms, especially for a salary, and the more you have them really take on the job and accountability the more masterful they become. WHICH then allows you to have them run things on their own so you and your family to get away together whilst the farm continues to run. A complete win all around. Your children are going to have a ball having you all to themselves for a bit. Well earned. Have a great time!
Days away from closing on our new adventure. Only 10.7 acres but we are planning on lots of diversity, like you have. I have been watching you since just after you landed at Ridgedale. You have been one of the greatest inspiration to me, next to the likes of Joel Salatin and others. Next year when those black locust trees are in full bloom, snip off the flower clusters and dip them in pancake batter and fry them up. In addition to awesome pancakes and great fence posts they make great honey, are great firewood that burns hot, nitrogen fixing and regrow like crazy when you cut them down. Truely a multi purpose plant that is a must for the farm. Enjoy the baby's because they grow up way too fast. Thank you and God Bless.
Such a travesty that ridiculous policies force business like yours worldwide into such exhausting acrobatics to stay afloat, but so thankful the Lord provided a path of provision through your books. Hailing from the Texas panhandle, and I plan to order your book at some point soon. Obviously, much different climate for us, but I absolutely adore what you share and I am able to integrate some into our growing homestead. You and your farm are a treasure, thank you! We started with reading Salatin in about 2009 and love seeing similar work across the globe.
oh, you are amazing, so glad to find your channel !!! We are looking to move to Sweeden and start farming and this is the best what I found on youtube !!!!
Glad to see another video. You have an amazing place there. It's a beautiful life you've made for your family..I commend your work ethic. God bless you all.
Got to say, thanks to you Richard Perkins, even if you do no more, you have already done so much to spread the seeds of regen ag. Just discovered Heather Hill Farm in Donegal, 40 miles from me, Ireland's Richard? Looks like it to me. Enjoy the rest of your life mate, well done!
Beautiful 🙏❤ Good and inspiring to see you how you see your needs! Thanks for sharing and remembering it! Just yesterday I had a visitor at my farm and she told me how much I just "function" (as a single mum, 24/7 with my daughter, the farm work with all the animales and gardening, trying to make everyone else happy...) without seeing myself. I am looking forward to find your new book in my post box!!! Can't wait! 😃 Enjoy your vacation!
You are looking much healthier now you are not working quite so hard, and relaxing more; its good to see. At 19:56, technically those are reed maces rather than bulrushes, which are a different plant.
Really great info Richard, still some of the best out there! Very happy for you that the farm and family priorities are balancing out! It’s a must have for the long run.
I bought your fantastic book as an e-book, but it's in pdf format which is unreadable on my e-reader. Are there plans to also release it in epub format? I would also like to buy the new book if it's in epub format.
What do you do keep your Lohmann inside the fence? Mine do periodically run aways and I simply can't figure out why. Fence is tight, electricity on full power, they have food and water. Did I miss something?
It's Ildi there have been a few batches of seeds in recent years that must have been cross pollinated or mixed up as last year I ended up with something more akin to a red cherry tom when I used bought seeds.
i wish i properly learned another language when i was a kid. i have bilingual family members in a bilingual country but unless i need to ask someone where a library is i speak no french
I am unfamiliar with this pest he is referring to. What is a saulk (not sure of spelling...going on what subtitles said). Could not find under different spellings in Google.
Youngish trees. They can be controlled by fuming their tunnels or increasing predator populations/habitat (birds of prey, raccoons, foxes, snakes), or by bringing in domesticated predators.
I used to worry about you burning out - so pleased to see you being smart about rest and family - enjoy it you earned it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You are such a wonderful being and an inspiration in so many regards! Thank you so much for sharing your life, work, insight and experience! You are a blessing!
Really enjoyed the farm tour. Seeing how much the trees have grown over the years. So much abundance! Love it..

I love the design of the farm! Also just have to say it looks like so much fun to be driving that electric motorcycle around 😁
I have been watching your channel from day one, it nice to see you finally taking this time off. You are a blessing in our age

Still love my book! I grab it weekly and love to soak in the information to see what I missed the previous time
Thanks for the nice video and talk. And I am so happy for you and your family, that you will slow down some and enjoy time with your children

So therapeutic to look at, your farm !
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for taking some time to share the farm and the kiddeos with us Richard!!!

Great video. Enjoy your break. You deserve it.
Glad to hear about the plans with the kids. Everything looks good as always.
Wonderful looking plants and garden. Glad your getting away from time to time. Need a break from the busy life
A beautiful legacy unfolding! Thank you for the inspiration, and enjoy the vacation! 🙌
Richard's knowledge is simply phenomenal!
Enjoy your time off :) I wish you super special holidays with your kids. Much love
Grate job.

Looking forward to the Wooly Mammoths 🦣
Thanks for all the amazing work done by yourself and the team! Buying the book today!

Loved this and loved seeing you take some time out!
Love these walk throughs!
Loving your book Richard, really appreciate your help after my copy was water damaged during delivery.
Sage and happy Richard
Excellent content! Thank you!!

Nicely done 👍👍👍Thanks for sharing
Done. I ordered 2 weeks ago.
I noticed you planted black walnut. Is there a market for that? They grow like weeds around here.
In NL?

Looks Great, What are you using on the path, looks like oyster shell.
chickens might want some oyster shells
Are those Mark Shepard's chestnuts?
What do you do keep your Lohmann inside the fence? Mine do periodically run aways and I simply can't figure out why. Fence is tight, electricity on full power, they have food and water. Did I miss something?
Hi, may i know the variety of the tomatoes with a lot of flowers, where can i purchase the seeds? Thank you! Enjoy your holiday!!!😀😀
It's Ildi there have been a few batches of seeds in recent years that must have been cross pollinated or mixed up as last year I ended up with something more akin to a red cherry tom when I used bought seeds.
@@stephenb5595 its barry's crazy cherry tomato,n its available at amazon.😀ill try to plant this next summer.
I cannot understand how you only have 130,000 subscribers............. very odd
Is the book sold anywhere in the USA?
Hi Richard, just wondering what’s the size of your farm?
Thank you
I want to say 26 or 28 Acres, could be 24 though 😅
Man I would love to be able to raise me some bacon seeds.
What's the other business sorry?
I tried to order hardcopies of the Regenerative Ag book but the system says it doesn't deliver to Oregon (USA).
We’re in Texas and wondering the same thing
Louisiana, same here
Hmmm, I live in Oregon and the book was delivered to me...oh, but that was the soft cover. Well maybe they only sell the soft cover overseas?
As far as I'm aware, there is only the soft cover copy of Regen Ag. The previous book How to make small farns work. was a hard cover.
🤔 they said "hard copy" not "hard cover" 🤫
i wish i properly learned another language when i was a kid. i have bilingual family members in a bilingual country but unless i need to ask someone where a library is i speak no french
Why do the cows have no horns ?
This breed, the Swedish Fjäll, are polled which means they naturally do not grow horns.
Acacia are beautiful, but are invasive in much of Western Europe. Are you worried about that?
I am unfamiliar with this pest he is referring to. What is a saulk (not sure of spelling...going on what subtitles said). Could not find under different spellings in Google.
Voles, campagnols, small wood rats. Loads of names for them. They destroy trees, any plant really, with ease.
@@janbroekhuizen5 Ahhh! I see...saulk is another name for voles...got it thank you for the free info 🙏😊
@@ChantelBaggio5983 Sork :)
@@mrThoreKarlsson Thanks for taking time to reply and for giving me correct spelling so I can look them up and be ready for the little varmints! 🙂
