Just want to say that when they talked about pigs and sheep not really being part of the financial contribution to the farm, of COURSE they are. If they are performing tasks that are making the land usable in a way the farmer wants it to be used that's certainly a financial contribution, and then add in they become food, and food is money. So, they financially contribute to the farm in different ways and though they might not bring in a cash flow at any given moment they are allowing for future expansion and enhancing the soil quality.
That is a good point, all we mean is that the business does not treat those enterprises in the same way as those that make up the financial backbone of the farm. The benefits that our pigs and sheep offer are immense nonetheless!
Júst beáútiful...
May your spirit myceliate far and wide!
Once again: thank you Jesse.

There's a lot of good smarts going on there.
One thing I've always felt is when people feel connected to the land and food they accept some higher costs knowing that they are getting a higher quality product that's better for their health. Living in a city and going to a grocery store and seeing an organic section might be exciting for some, but I think for the typical person going into that section and seeing higher prices is often a put off and question justifying paying the higher price. But, if you can get people out to the land where the food is grown and explain what you are doing and what you're trying to accomplish, the market gets bigger, and you have more people WANTING to buy that food, as in there is more emotion involved in the purchase, and that's a good thing.
Well put!
No offence, but as an Aussie it is sooo refreshing hearing some eloquent, soulful Americans for a change ❤❤❤
All you’re shown is the worst of us so you think poorly of us. Drive through the country in any state and these people represent them all
Usually when you start with no offense you're expecting to offend. Backhanded compliments are so Sydney. Lol
10/10 on the transparency with leased land and talking about large scale ag vs something smaller
Happy Easter nerds from Canada, Jesse thanks for another great one
Happy Easter 🙏🏼
The bloopers were a great addition.
So impressed with these young people! Gives me hope for the future. Beautiful.
Courageous young heros. Bless you all for your thoughtful, caring and diligent efforts. Thank you for sharing hoping your continued success rewards your efforts while inspiring the likes of us who dream to follow in your footsteps.
I wish all the best to these young people.
Awesome vid! thanks!
Lyric is very pretty. Lucky Fella
Consider installing a Screech Owl nest box. Owls eat rodents which host ticks.
Another inspiring video. It gives me hope for the future .
Super inspiring, thank you! Will follow their farm, and thanks for your work No-Till Growers.
I wish them well!
Great start, maybe they will own the land one day!
Sounds like they had a well thought out process that evolved over a few years. Wishing them the best of luck along with giving positive encouragement to others!
Beautiful setting. Good luck on the journey!
Thanks Jessie! Great interview.
Enjoying seeing these farms. Land lease sounds scary (unexpected health issue or death of land owner could complicate things). Hope the impressive progress continues & they can own land. The market is definately there in their region.
I can’t get past improving somebody’s else’s land. Especially if you build permanent structures, plant all those nut trees that increases the land’s value and then the lease isn’t renewed.
There are pros and cons to both leasing and owning. Improving the land for the sake of improving land is a big part of what drives us, while remaining practical with our livelihoods and business decisions.
I’m all for improving the land. I more for improving my own property and realizing gain that way. I hope it works out for you and your farm is a huge success. Blessings to you and yours.
Faith and youth can override a lot . Much success to them and thanks for sharing! Inspirational for sure!

Seems to me it's about doing what you feel is the right thing, by our beautiful home planet and humanity. "Property" is a money-making construct. And yes only too "real".
I only "have" an allotment , but i love simply taking care of just that little piece of these beautiful isles (UK). Encouraging biodiversity as much as i can, above ground as well as below. Yes, one day the area may be bulldozed over and built on, but energetically speaking it feels important to
do this. Like when you're out on a walk, litter-picking, in some places you can't hópe to remove áll the rubbish, but energetically: someone notices, pays attention and cares.
The Mu teachings tell us that the "fall of man" came about because humans started to want to own things. Things that were never theirs to own, i.e. all/any of Creation...

I think it's okay to let the vision shift as you encounter various challenges. You can't stay locked in to your preconceived vision sometimes. Change is inevitable stay flexible.
well said!
Don't mind me. Just watching your video while I stare at my slowly growing lettuce.
😂
They have created a Dream farm! Amazing journey to find themselves on this land.
Wish I lived near to be able to visit and take a class on poultry!
These are some inspiring folks. Glad I woke up early and saw this!
Awesome feature! Thank you!
Thx Jesse. Takeaways - impressive, youth, ambition, idealism, lease, time will tell as life's challenges comfront them.
Sharing experiences about plantations that are very useful
While this is incredible and greatly inspiring we currently own 72 acres in Southern Ohio and we would love to set up something like this, do you guys offer consultation .
Yes we do
@@smallscalerevivalHow do I reach you regarding this ?
❤ well-spoken, wise couple.
Thank you!
❤great interview!!!
Thank you for the video. I wish this was dubbed in Spanish so I could share with my parents.
Awesome
I didn't know places that distribute food to the community for free would pay a high enough price to make anything for the farmer. I wish yall explained more about that since its so much of your sales. I think thats awesome. We try to feed as much of our food insecure community as we can too
There are programs here in Texas where small farm can set their prices to provide to food banks. You can reach out to your NACAT agent and they can help you find programs close to you.
@@pier-annelachance4960 I'm not in Texas, but I'll look for similar programs in my state. Thanks for sharing. I think programs like that are a great idea
All this on leased land?
So after being dissatisfied with the uniform nature of even alley cropping, I just found out about permaculture food forests, and um, ya. That fits my book better.
So ya, farming can still be romanticised and lucrative, especially when done over a multi-generational process, like how I'm planning for my story.
Sorry, monoculture. There's a more beautiful land on the block. ^^
I will stick around for your "How to grow this specific crop" vids tho.
I wonder how many no till home steaders rely on the farmers almanac?
#Mcshafuratv Watching life From 🇳🇬
I don’t see any fences on the farm, how do they fight wild boars?
Not an issue in our area. There are wild boars in western NC, but in our specific area there are no significant populations to be concerned about
Mornin' nerd!
How did they approach the serious investment of silviculture and perennial farming knowing they have a lease? Is the annual business profitable enough to make it work or are they taking a more serious risky investment and running at neutral while potentially reaping the rewards in the long run?
Please watch the video before you leave stupid comments
If you watch the video you'll know😃
@@WAYNESVILLE I did and I disagree
Id say they are planning on the long term lease working out after the 6yr trial run.
There is risk involved whether we own or lease the land and feel confident that the work we're doing with perennials will benefit someone at some point, whether that is us or otherwise, but day to day we are trusting in the process
Would have loved a tour, this felt more appropriate for a podcast.
This is an enthusiastic husbandry commitment to land resources. Reportably, NC & Maine with 15 other states are declaring and targeting small farms as contaminated, being bought out by gov that is acting for....? Would this model be in line with 'you will rent and be happy'?
While this is incredible and greatly inspiring we currently own 72 acres in Southern Ohio and we would love to set up something like this, do you guys offer consultation .
