- Опубліковано 28 вер 2018
- Earlier this week I had the pleasure to visit Liz and Mr J over at Byther Farm! I have been following their progress on their fantastic UA-cam channel and I am amazed at how productive their set-up is. So I went down for a day to visit and had an amazing time and I can assure you that I will be back! This video gives a good insight into what goes on, but you should definitely subscribe to their UA-cam channel to follow their progress: / @lizzorab

Thank you so much for visiting Byther Farm. Huw, it was great to meet you and I'm looking forward to seeing you here again soon.
I had such a wonderful time! Thank you so much for the great hosting and all the laughs and I cannot wait to come back again :)
how do you keep the critters out of your gardens? The deer, squirrels, raccoons, possums, and birds get into EVERYTHING here.
Hello Missy, fortunately we don't have raccoons and possums here in UK. There are no deer living very close to our homestead, I have spotted a couple about 10 miles away but they haven't ventured to our homestead yet, we do have squirrels but they don't seem interested in what I'm growing, maybe they will do once the nut trees and bushes start bearing fruit and the brassicas are grown under netting which reduces the bird damage. I'm happy to share some of the food with the wildlife as they each also help to deal with some kind of pest in the garden. :-)
the critters on my place put out the "welcome" mat . We have over 40 deer sleeping around the barn, the raccoons sleep on the porch swings, the possums sleep under the deck, and the birds are everywhere. I see the deer bringing their babies over .....I think they tell them, "look, there's that nice lady who plants all these lovely fruit trees"......then proceed to knock down all the peaches. My mom calls me "Snow White". My dad says I need to chase all the freeloaders off the place....heehee
@@psychobunny32 , fyi. Human urine spread around your property will keep a lot of the critters away. Nasty yes, but put in a spray bottle and spray it all over. Works great here in NW Ga. USA
Life is amazing when it revolves around a garden.
Awesome very true 👍
I have no idea what.
This is so important to show people like myself that you can be self sufficient in growing enough food to support a family with a acre or a little less than an acre. So many can’t afford more than one acre and that’s ok because you can still do very well . Thank you
Now this is how i would love to live, fresh foods without all the chemicals, this is a dream place to live,thank you for the video.
Mohammad Omar you can go to a store and ask for 100% organic so there will be no chemicals and it will be fresh to…
@@modular1479 Yes, but not as fresh as growing your own. I just bought some heirloom tomatoes from a store whose main selling point is their produce, and they were good, but not the "knock your socks off" fantastic that came from my own tomatoes before the growing season wound down.
@@modular1479 organic is not the thing the feeling of your own plants is also invaluable
If you have a balcony you can grow a tomato in a large bucket. You can grow baby salad greens on the kitchen counter.
Hate to break it to you, but you literally cannot escape the chemical world order. Xenoestrogens, endocrine disruptors, many medications, etc reside in the water supply ground and others as well as the meat. Even if you wanted to you cant escape.
Your referrals to other channels have been invaluable. Keep up the great work Huw!
4 freezers? My boyfriend’s papaw has 9 and cans year round lol, his wife is forever donating food. You’ve done a wonderful job, it’s beautiful!
Your boyfriend. His wife?
@@user-pe1kj3ni5q maybe her boyfriend's papaw (father) and his wife (mother). I guess..
@@reedduaan I appreciated the explanation. I understand now.
Liz is awesome! She is so easy to watch and listen to. Always learning something new from her videos. I am so glad you got to be there and experience her in person! You must do this again!
I certainly will! I may do something like a revisit once a season and I am sure there will be plenty of other collaborations along the way :)
@@HuwRichards that's a great idea!!!! Love seeing collaborations with great channels!
I have 2.78 acres. I think it is an ideal size for garden, small pond, food forest, grass for goats (2 seems balanced), chickens and ducks. If my land were smaller I would lose some part of the system. I will probably not max out my land for at least another 5 years. At max production it should produce much more my family and extended family will need. I am very impressed buy Byther Farm, absolutely beautiful. I hope to reach that level of gardening excellence one day. Thank you for the video.
Nice interview. I've seen some interviewers dominate conversations and hardly allow the other person to speak. Thank you.
Hi Grannieannie, Huw is very easy to chat with, which makes an interview super-easy and fun to do :-)
Great! If I ever visit your country I would love to meet all you wonderful people. : )
Liz is a truly wonderful person and encouragement to all those who know her. Great video!
She certainly is!:) Thank you so much for watching
Hi Eric! Sorry I missed your comment until now - aw you'll make me blush, but thank you for your kind words. I can't believe that you are starting yet again to clear the bush and create a space for your homestead, I admire your grit and determination to create a home for your family :-)
I very much enjoy all of your videos, have for a long time now.
Great addition doing these interviews, you do a great job and seem at ease, very personable.
I now have a few new channels to watch! 😃 Thank you!
I've never seen a turkey before...except in the supermarket! I love all these hens and ducks and turkeys posing about. I think Liz is lovely and her farm garden is a glorious and abundant place. I was surprised and delighted to see so many flowers and the little cat. Thank you so much Huw and Liz for a very enjoyable visit.
Nice headsup on barter! I do quite a bit of it.
What a great video again Huw. Liz has a fantastic garden and anyone thinking of checking her out really should. Great collab video :)
She is an utter inspiration! I look forward to our collab coming out soon :D
Yes, she is mate. She has fantastic ideas for the future and has really thought about the whole process which is brilliant and shows her dedication
Great insight here Huw to the wonderful work Liz does at her food garden, thank you.
Liz is amazing. She has a brilliant channel. This was a fantastic video. Such a good chat. I hope you two collaborate more in the future. It's so nice seeing UA-cam gardeners come together and share their knowledge. Thank you huw xx💟
I couldn't agree more with you Anna!:) Thank you so much! We are certainly going to be collaborating more! So watch this space :D
I like the idea of creating of food forest. Canadians are fond of loans. There is no permaculture particularly in urban areas. They even don't leave fallen leafs under the trees as a soil. Last 5 years we can't see anymore butterflies. bees, ladybugs, fareflys anymore. Many birds are also vanished.
Julia K thank the wind mills for that
Both you and Liz Zorab are brilliant vloggers. So engaging and informative. I learn so much from both of you.
Thanks Josephine, I'm glad you've enjoyed Huw's video :-)
Fantastic video, its what dreams are made of. Who would not want that kind of life. Thankyou Huw and Liz x keep up the good work
Great video Huw,
Camera work, editing and b-roll all looking very professional. You have a really relaxed manner too when presenting. Really enjoyable.
I love this so much. Huw, you're awesome and so is Ms Liz.
who lives in who's back yard ? it's great to see youtuber's visit one another just because or for a collaboration or what ever :) thanks for sharing

We love Liz!
A nice introduction Huw. Hello Liz :)
Thank you!
I enjoyed this very much! I love seeing collaborations like this that are done so unselfishly! I wasn't aware of Liz''s channel but I'm now a subscriber. Thank you and Liz for all the great content you produce. I'm very grateful!
You can also create many leafy greens in Yorkshire and some parts of bristol, at these times, all we need are the skills as well as the abilities of capabilities. Bringing the best at these trying times wherein it is overcomable.
Great to see such great results. Very nice interview
I see those solar panels. I want to learn more
Beautiful. Thankyou
This is a treat. Two of my favorites together. :-)
Awhh thank you so much!
Thank you soo much for this video you open my yes for many thing
Thanks for introducing me to another great channel. I am off to subscribe.
Brilliant .. two of my favorite channels together :) keep on growing
Hi Lori, (it seems odd chatting with friends on someone else's comments page, lol), I'm glad that you like the video, Huw did an amazing job of making our place look fabulous :-)
Liz you place doesn't need an amazing job to be made to look fabulous - because it already does! :)
Thank you so much Lori!!
TY for this video. Did not know about her channel. KUDOS from IL zone 5 Chicagoland.
I hope you enjoy her great videos!
Such a wise head on young shoulders.
Haha thanks! ;)
What a great video Thanks for sharing
I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL THANKS TO LIZ ZORAB AT BYTHER FARM,LOOKING FORWARD TO WATCHING MORE VIDEOS AND NOTING ABOUT YOUR CHANNEL THANKS AND HAVE A GREAT AND BLESSED DAY :-)
I just know you won't be disappointed, Huw's channel is awesome!
Great videos friend, really great to have UK-based content, helps people like me who grew up 100% urban and know nothing about growing, learning from 0 knowledge and got a lot got to learn.
Radish seed pods were a thing I learned that I enjoy in salads
Very lovely garden!
Yeah, My beans are blown over as well, Still harvesting but need to buy new
canes next season.
Regards,
Bill.
Found you through Liz's video. Great channel!
Awh awesome thank you so much!:)
Love the concept of bartering! I trade my parents veggies for proteins like fish and venison 🌞😃🫑🍅🌿
What I love about this video and the message in it is the idea of human beings actually being "beings" and not just slaves to the illusion of 'money'.
God bless you for reminding us of how important it is to live in harmony with nature and fellow human beings.
PS. Love the sincere smiles, definitely a heartwarming feeling worth more than any money can ever buy. TY.
This is amazing !!! very educative interview.
what a lovely place .. ❤❤❤
Thank you!
+Liz Zorab - Byther Farm your welcome ma,am😊😊 from Philippines hugs and kisses😘😘❤❤❤
I had never heard of you before but I'm so glad I ran across you! Thank you for your educational videos!! Gloria from Nice, CA
To swap food is such a fantastic idea. So many go without x Do you guys do Seedswaps? . As I mentioned to you i have just had Bunion and A Hammertoe Surgery so i am recovering in bed, i can weightbare a little on my foot. We are looking forward to our Bulbs coming up x
Love both of your channels, I have learned lots from your channels, keep up the good worrk👍🏻🌱🌽🥕
Thanks AJ!
Thank you so much!
Dream,one day definitely .
My new, untried, veg this year was tomatillos. Delicious!
Great that you go on tour Huw, lovely shots and you interview well! Who are you going to visit nxt ?😉
priceless thank you for sharing
Thanks!
Lovely video, thanks for sharing. I love Huws accent, what part of the UK is he from? He sounds like the wonderful Mr. Bingley from Pride and Prejudice. Thanks!
Hi there:) I was born in Yorkshire but moved to Mid-West Wales when I was 9 months old
Beautiful!!!
I like the idea barter system u know
Definitely a herbivorous dream and doable by anyone
A great collaboration
it seems to me that if they grow most of their food with abundance to barter with it too, I'd say they are growing more then 100% of their food.
Lovely video Huw and Liz.
Thank you:D
You are welcome. Nice feel good video on a deary day.
Inspiring 👏👏
Imagine thinking the world is overpopulated when you can do this. No big commercial farming equipment, no massive emissions. We wouldn't need huge, impersonal, profit only optimized farms if 15% of the population could live like this.
great video!
Come to the states Huw! You have a friend in Michigan! I could use ur GUIDANCE lol I teach kids how POWERFUL they are through Miniature horses and growing plants, we could use a man like Huw!
Liz Darling, I know how much work you have put in to fill four freezers with food. I hate to say this but what will you do when the power goes off for days and all your food spoils? Instead of freezing everything, pressure can your food. Then when the power goes off for a long time you have nothing to worry about. You can even can meat.
Liz is now actually doing a lot of canning :D
Nice
Thanks for showing such a nice farm love from pakistan
Nice !
Yes that's what do. Cause mom was seamstress. And traded her service for Apple's from my aunt witch was and Apple picker.
I love James’ channel. I’ve learned so much. Thank you for this video, sir. Keep the content coming!
Hi there, I'm new to your channel but just wanted to say that I really enjoyed this video - you've got a new subscriber! I love James Prigioni too, looking forward to watching your food forest video.
W9nderful video!
Now I'm ready for the next Covid
Do you eat the duck eggs? How much chicken eggs and duck eggs do you get?
You can do pigs in deep mulch. Watch Justin Rhodes permaculture pigs. You have a fantastic volume of carbon, if you want pigs you can have them. Of course that's up to you. Best of luck.
I think she mentioned they just didn't have the room for them.
Justin Rhodes raised 2 pigs under a 10x10 carport. I hoped that might be a solution to having too little room.
we don't have that here in holland..hardly anyone has healthy homesteads or want to share
I know it is kinda off topic but when I see just how she puts together a video almost daily... I would love to know how she actually videos herself around the garden, because I find it hard to garden and feel right in videoing myself
Hey Huw, have you any info on successful sunken/walloping greenhouse building in the U.K.? Thanks -enjoying your video’s :)
Ça donne envie de faire pareil ici en France
Cultivation 👍
Place looks bigger then 1 acres.. however I want to live like this..
Going into the great reset you’ll be sol without food and water.
Do you not have termites? If we tried to use pallets they would be eaten up by termites
It’s funny how the nature of an object-let’s say a strawberry or a pair of socks-is so changed by the way it has come into your hands, as a gift or as a commodity. The pair of wool socks that I buy at the store, red and gray striped, are warm and cozy. I might feel grateful for the sheep that made the wool and the worker who ran the knitting machine. I hope so. But I have no inherent obligation to those socks as commodity, as private property.
There is no bond beyond the politely exchanged “thank yous” with the clerk. I have paid for them and our reciprocity ended the minute I handed her the money. The exchange ends once parity has been established, an equal exchange. They become my property. I don’t write a thank-you note to JCPenney.
But what if those very same socks, red and gray striped, were knitted by my grandmother and given to me as a gift? That changes everything. A gift creates ongoing relationship. I will write a thank-you note. I will take good care of them and if I am a very gracious grandchild I’ll wear them when she visits even if I don’t like them. When it’s her birthday, I will surely make her a gift in return.
As the scholar and writer Lewis Hyde notes, “It is the cardinal difference between gift and commodity exchange that a gift establishes a feeling-bond between two people.”
Wild strawberries fit the definition of gift, but grocery store berries do not. It’s the relationship between producer and consumer that changes everything. As a gift-thinker, I would be deeply offended if I saw wild strawberries in the grocery store. I would want to kidnap them all. They were not meant to be sold, only to be given. Hyde reminds us that in a gift economy, one’s freely given gifts cannot be made into someone else’s capital. I can see the headline now: “Woman Arrested for Shoplifting Produce. Strawberry Liberation Front Claims Responsibility.”
This is the same reason we do not sell sweetgrass. Because it is given to us, it should only be given to others. My dear friend Wally “Bear” Meshigaud is a ceremonial firekeeper for our people and uses a lot of sweetgrass on our behalf. There are folks who pick for him in a good way, to keep him supplied, but even so, at a big gathering sometimes he runs out. At powwows and fairs you can see our own people selling sweetgrass for ten bucks a braid. When Wally really needs wiingashk for a ceremony, he may visit one of those booths among the stalls selling frybread or hanks of beads. He introduces himself to the seller, explains his need, just as he would in a meadow, asking permission of the sweetgrass. He cannot pay for it, not because he doesn’t have the money, but because it cannot be bought or sold and still retain its essence for ceremony. He expects sellers to graciously give him what he needs, but sometimes they don’t. The guy at the booth thinks he’s being shaken down by an elder. “Hey, you can’t get something for nothin’” he says. But that is exactly the point. A gift is something for nothing, except that certain obligations are attached. For the plant to be sacred, it cannot be sold. Reluctant entrepreneurs will get a teaching from Wally, but they’ll never get his money.
Sweetgrass belongs to Mother Earth. Sweetgrass pickers collect properly and respectfully, for their own use and the needs of their community. They return a gift to the earth and tend to the well-being of the wiingashk. The braids are given as gifts, to honor, to say thank you, to heal and to strengthen. The sweetgrass is kept in motion. When Wally gives sweetgrass to the fire, it is a gift that has passed from hand to hand, growing richer as it is honored in every exchange.
That is the fundamental nature of gifts: they move, and their value increases with their passage. The fields made a gift of berries to us and we made a gift of them to our father. The more something is shared, the greater its value becomes. This is hard to grasp for societies steeped in notions of private property, where others are, by definition, excluded from sharing. Practices such as posting land against trespass, for example, are expected and accepted in a property economy but are unacceptable in an economy where land is seen as a gift to all.
Lewis Hyde wonderfully illustrates this dissonance in his exploration of the “Indian giver.” This expression, used negatively today as a pejorative for someone who gives something and then wants to have it back, actually derives from a fascinating cross-cultural misinterpretation between an indigenous culture operating in a gift economy and a colonial culture predicated on the concept of private property. When gifts were given to the settlers by the Native inhabitants, the recipients understood that they were valuable and were intended to be retained. Giving them away would have been an affront. But the indigenous people understood the value of the gift to be based in reciprocity and would be affronted if the gifts did not circulate back to them. Many of our ancient teachings counsel that whatever we have been given is supposed to be given away again.
From the viewpoint of a private property economy, the “gift” is deemed to be “free” because we obtain it free of charge, at no cost. But in the gift economy, gifts are not free. The essence of the gift is that it creates a set of relationships. The currency of a gift economy is, at its root, reciprocity. In Western thinking, private land is understood to be a “bundle of rights,” whereas in a gift economy property has a “bundle of responsibilities” attached.
Braiding Sweetgrass
Awesome text. I have two things to consider:
1- Could there be a mix between private property economy and gift economy?
My guess is that in those societies, we would attribute the value of the personal work done with the things we wanna gift. Like food. You can buy some qualities berries on the store, but the way you would attribute a sense of gift of someone is doing a pretty good recipe with it, where you needed practice and work.
2- I'd go even further and extand this concept of reciprocity to knowledge. Knowledge and science are strategies we can use to grow togheter as humans and make the world a satisfying place to live. And those who know more how things work, how to solve problems and can pass this natural knowledge to future generations would be more recognized, interpreting the way they see this knowledge as a gift from the natural medium (cosmos, universe, whatever you wanna call it) and use it to our own favor without degrading the place we live.
I think I have that exact same watch! Is that a Vincero?
Does anyone know how to best freeze vegetables such a zucchini squash (I think some people call it summer squash). It grows really well in the soil where I live, but we have a problem when it comes to saving it for future use. We found that by freezing it, it became really mushy when we tried to cook it and eat it after a few months. I know that you can purchase frozen zucchini and when you cook it, it is still nice and crisp or firm, but we were not able to achieve this with our home-grown variety.
My inspiration
I’d live to “hoomstead”
This is great! I'd like to do something like this. How much effort does it take?
The issue with bartering is that it can potentially avoid the paying tax and national insurance. Inevitably this can be to the detriment of the country's infrastructure with spending on the NHS and schools etc. severely compromised. If one generates wealth one should share the benefits in an equitable manner. I hope Amazon, Google etc etc are reading this!
Abc Bcde You mean someone should be forced to pay as much as the government oligarchs want to take?
