- Jason sold me on getting a Grain Mill and the Almond Cow. If you would like to purchase those consider going through my affiliate links below:
Sana Grain Mill: Premium Grain Mill. I love this and use it for various grains like Groat Oats, Kamut, Farro, etc to make them into a steel cut size that's all the same for a nice blend of grains in my morning porridge! There are definitely cheaper versions but I wanted something beautiful that would last: amzn.to/48y8aGD
Almond Cow: I love this thing too! I can't believe I lived this long without one: amzn.to/41FnmPP

I'm so excited to do more tours like this, maybe even revisit in the spring so subscribe and like/comment below if you'd like to see that happen. After doing this one I decided to upgrade my stabilizer. I upgraded one of my cameras too. This new stabilizer will be SO MUCH BETTER. The camera however isn't "the" main camera/lens I want/need but the perfect complement. So, I've essentially upgraded the entire rig I used to shoot this. I'm planning on getting a new drone as well. Just holding off for the moment right before I need it hoping it'll go on sale or something. Anywho, thanks for everyone's support by watching, commenting, and sharing. My wish is to see more of these kinds of efforts to grow food implemented everywhere. My dream is to have something at least a fraction of the size of this to start a little food forest one day, have a barn studio to do interviews, teach people how to live this way, maybe a couple of bungalows for guests, maybe nice enough to be a retreat for influencers needing respite, not sure it'll happen but that's the dream... People like Jason DeSalvo of Cold Brook Farm, Dr Ron Weiss of Ethos Farm, Mark Epstein of Flow Farm, etc. are truly the most epic inspiration for dreams like this as they're designing the most beautiful footprint for the future of everyone.

Wow - it's really incredible what Jason and Deb have done in such a short time.
ooooh after watching the interview I was hoping to see something like this!! Gardening and Plant Based!!! Two of my passions.
Totally heaven isn't it? I didn't want to leave!
I'm pretty sure this is my ALL TIME FAVOURITE. We need waaaay more of exactly this. I live in Australia where there is literally no topsoil here. It was an ancient seabed complete with fossil shells and sand. Its almost impossible to get any actual food past the pest pressure and its unbelievable how little the gardening community crosses to the vegan community. I know vegans that dont garden and gardeners that arent vegan. It would be surprising if i ever had anything grow, this guy is amazing im so impressed ❤❤❤❤❤
Actually what's interesting is the first tour I did like this that I haven't even released yet, but I shot like over a year ago going on 2 years ago. That was at flow farms and Mark Epstein runs that. He picked probably one of the worst locations for starting a farm in North Carolina because the soil is like you're talking about so he had to find ways to make the soil work for his sandy conditions in Pinehurst North Carolina. When I release that maybe you'll find some tips and tricks there. I haven't released it yet because he kind of caught me off guard. It was a long drive and I had just bought this audio device to capture audio separate from the stabilizer. But it didn't work when I got there so I had to improvise and I didn't realize he was also going to be doing such a long tour so it just made it really tough. But now I am able to do way better with my new gear so I may either reshoot it or just run with what I got. But I still haven't done a proper interview with Mark yet either so hopefully all that will happen in 2024. :)
@VeganLinked ooooooh well then I am very excited for your upcoming videos!! Sounds perfect for me either way, I don't care if the sound quality isn't great but some people do. Only you can decide. It might pay to reshoot, but edit in some of the old footage for comparison is a golden opportunity- gardeners love to see how they've changed the landscape for the better. 💖
You have a beautiful spot be grateful so happy for u and yours💫
Thanks so much for watching and commenting! Have a beautiful day :-)
Thank you for all you do!!!❤️
Wow! Great inspiring information that would help me in my up coming garden
Thank you 🙏💚🌱✌️
Loved this interview!!!
This is amazing! Thanks!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting 💚
The thistle is edible. Maybe they could do something with it. They could actually make "manure" with it.
Large fields of monocrops are not really permaculture. Maybe they could reduce the size of the fields, and plant a greater variety, surrounded by trees. The trees would fertilize via the leaves they drop, and trees like black locust add nitrogen to the soil via their roots.
He did say they only just finished their 3rd transition year, it takes time to get there. He's doing great imo ❤
The more Orion the cat eats cover crop, the less he's eating little animals. Maybe they should plant him his own garden - and plant a garden for the deer too!
@@jasondesalvo7932 not to mention that the predators are probably dramatically reduced largely due to subsidized killing of predators to protect livestock.
I don’t understand his situation with the honeybees. It sounded like the native pollinators could handle all the pollinating needs of the farm, and that he wasn’t doing the bees any favors by taking their honey, that his only purpose in doing so is for profit. Why take it? I get that maybe he hadn’t made the ethical connection prior to bringing them in, but why keep taking the honey? Does the financial survival of the farm require whatever revenue comes from honey sales?
He's done so much in the last 3 years and only been on this path for one year. I think he's doing pretty amazing. I also think your spot on. I don't know any vegans who are perfect the first year. And I don't know any vegans who've done all he's doing that's next level.
It's kind of like me not throwing my leather belt away or my leather wallet away. I had them before I went vegan just like he had these bees before he went vegan.
5:56 at least he gets insects - don't kill them, they help you.
I didnt like the part of the honeybees. They still are consuming and selling the honey and this is not vegan... Period. But, about the rest, it's incredible what they are doing in their property. It's an amazing place.
Thank you for sharing! We've already addressed this in previous comments. While everything he is doing is vegan there is one issue and that is normalizing the commodification of animals which invariably if not inevitably results in abusive exploitation. But beside that, what he is doing is otherwise completely vegan even with the bees since he had them before he went vegan and he's not hurting the bees or exploiting them or restricting their movement. He's respecting them and really has no other options but to leave them there at this point. Is there something more vegan you think he could be doing? Perhaps I should during an interview when this happens again interject the denormalization concept. Thanks for sharing your perspective. For the record I do want to say though I think he's probably more for the record I do want to say though I think he's probably more in his first year of being vegan that I was in my first year and probably more than most. There's definitely a learning curve in like every direction 💚
@@jasondesalvo7932 Look, an example: all animals that live with me are rescued ones... So I dont choose to have them with me for a kind of company or entertainment, or cause I thought about me at first place. Completely the other hand! It's expensive and exhausting... But I'm trying to save their lives. Living on streets means death here. I dont agree with you about this honey topic at all. And trying to find excuses to use anything that comes from animals for own benefit seems these arguments used by non-vegans. You could choose not to use honey, but you like it... and you prefer your organic honey... And you sell it... That's a choice... Simple. So dont try to explain your choices using comparations like that about pets, because it doesnt make sense and it seems the kind of thing that non-vegans do. But, like I said, about the rest, your place is incredible and, obsviously, you have more positive things about it.
excellent point on the pets (vegans usually say companion animals or something since pet is kind of an ugly thing lol). Those bees are your companions like a cat is to so many vegans. Only the cats are eating animals and the bees aren't so having bees as companions in a sense may be more vegan than the cats most vegans have. I don't have any companion animals but I would love to rescue some one day provided I could have a place for them that is ideal.
As for the sweetener point, that's a good point too, but really, sweetener isn't necessary at all. So, it kind of falls apart in that regard. We don't need sugar cane or honey or any sweetener really. :) Esp when we have FARTACHOKES!@@jasondesalvo7932
It's so cool to be able to have these conversations :) @@jasondesalvo7932
The honey bees will always be in competition because to make as much honey as they do they take more, & it's still exploiting someone else's labour & they were bred/designed to over make so people can take, & again, always will be in competition of local pollinators. When you promote honey bees you promote animal exploitation & are purposefully keeping an invasive species that does leave & take over other native bee's food/areas. Saving the honey bees, while well meant, did massive damage to native pollinators. Please promote local bees, remove the honey bees & make local bee friendly & other pollinator homes/bring in some if you need to promote, but please get away from honey bees/bee vomit addiction/bee exploitation that always competes with local pollinators that need to make a come back. There are always other pollinators you can get/promote/help flourish.
The rest is great, 100%! But honey is not vegan, you are taking from someone else that was made/bred to be exploited like dairy cows & their massive udders, they don't have their own rights to their own food & you aren't promoting local pollinators over someone you can get something out of/exploit. I really hope Jason will see the light & stop exploiting the honey bees, & promote only local pollinators/bees/etc., they need to provide pollination, to provide the balance you are seeking (but can never give because their existence in the area is direct competition with local pollinators), not honey/bee vomit. It's about choosing taste pleasure over letting go of learned tolerance of exploitation. Just like with eggs, when vegans rescue chickens they don't eat the eggs, they give it back to the chickens &/or feed other animals that need it, not themselves, & stop promoting the use of their bodies (& it's not healthy either). Honey is the same, if they make so much they can't consume it all, give it to other animals that need it & to stop promoting honey bees that keep causing the same issues over & over. When people see others saying it's okay to have an invasive, human altered, competitive animal to exploit from, bee, cow, pig, dog, cricket, chicken, snake, reptile, etc., it's the same message.
💚💚💚I hope Jason chooses love, compassion, animal rights to their own autonomy/body/etc., & balance over sugar/taste/exploitation & stops honey bee exploitation/promotion & starts only promoting local pollinators & goes fully Vegan, because everything else is absolutely wonderful & absolutely the Vegan message 💚💚💚
💚💚💚 Thank you for posting this! I love how the garden/landscape is set up!💚💚💚 Also hoping for local bee/pollinator change to come!🤞💚💚💚
Also wish I could get the Almond Cow. I have celiac, so I have to get everything certified gluten free, but nearly all oats/almonds/etc I'd use it on that are cheap are contaminated/not certified. Anything that is certified is MASSIVELY expensive, unless it's already made, like SILK/Plant milks already made. Gluten free certification is a very dedicated process of no wheat/barley/rye/hay mixes that are from beginning to end gluten free, from field/farming equipment/containers/mills/shipping/etc. So anything celiac certified is no less than 3x the cost but usually around on average 6x the cost. Only junk food tends to be closer to at par with non-certified gluten free foods. If I find a GF source of bulk oats/almonds/etc., that are on par with non-certified GF, I will defs get the Almond cow, cost effectiveness alone would be nice, as well as reduction in waste/plastic/etc!
He's only been vegan for a year and he had the bees before that. Give him time (and information like you have). I don't know what you expect him to do with the bees that he already had. Kind of like my leather belt and leather wallet. I've been vegan for 13 years and I still have them from like the '90s. Don't get me wrong, it's not really like that because these animals are still alive.
It's great to encourage him as you are and find ways to even take it up another level. No one was vegan perfectly their first year so maybe in time things will be even better.
I don't see why he would have to give the honey to another animal when he's an animal that can consume it. So I don't see much logic in that. But I wouldn't want to promote or normalize that because of other reasons that you have mentioned.
I know very long time and lifelong vegans still learning. Hopefully we're all finding ways to take it up another level. Thanks so much for all of the great information and thoughtful comment! 💚
you're both so awesome, thanks for sharing Jason and StarWonder!
