I don’t know, you’re videos just blow me away! Your farm is immaculate. Your family lovely and precious. I cannot imagine the hard work you’ve all put into this. I am inspired to the max. I am hoping to raise our own food for our family of 7. I would love for that to expand. We are on nearly 2 acres, 1 of which is not covered in forest or river or steep hill.

Hey Heidi. Thank you so much for your kind words! They're much appreciated. All I can say is this: anyone can do this. With a bit of planning, hard work and dedication you'll be able to grow most of the food for your family. One step at a time! If you ever have any specific questions you know where to find me. Good luck!

Hi Morrie, Gesrouw here !! I searched you up to find you on the web and found all these farming videos. First of all, I miss you brother !! It does me good seeing you be happy with your little family and have a big smile on your face. Would like to visit one day and help out on the farm. Send me a message
Hello again from Florida, USA. Your videos are very inspiring and well done. I really enjoyed this one too, showing your journey. Thank you for sharing such valuable information. Ron
You have encapsulated my vision completely. Thank you for showing me further that I can accomplish what you have done, just about the same as I want for my community. I hope to get going in the next couple of years 🙌🏾. Thank you brother. North Carolina, USA
Amazing video, beautifully done! I'm following the series of Farmers Friend and was surprised to see you there too. Keep inspiring those around you. And Nola, she'll be your greatest helper when a bit older. My oldest (6) loves helping out if it's her favorite green. And no more than 2 beds, after that its work, that's for parents only. I think we should change the Dutch motto from Never Hunger again to Feed your village with local greatness.
Thank you for the kind words! She's already a great help ;) But she's free to do and go where she wants. The more people could feed their communities, the better!
@@TheDutchFarmer Ja ik vind het echt geweldig. Ik ga starten met microgroenten en als dat aanslaat uitbreiden met legkippen of market gardening. Maar dan zijn e toch alweer een paar jaar verder :-)

First learn the workload and marketing by working with a farmers. Then you can take land on rent. And best part you can take land in suburban areas 1200 sft - 1500 sft front or back yards that most ppl don't have time to maintain. Learn from "urban farmer Justin Stone" youtube
@@davelawson2564 Working for someone else first is definitely a good decision! It will give you an important reality check as well as experience. Renting as next option will allow you to get started on a small budget, just like what we did. Great feedback! Thank you for your input.
I really love the way of ur gardening style I hv already watched almost all the videos that u have uploaded & i will visit there one day Now I'm just a student but in future I wants to be a farmer of this model along with hydroponic agriculture
Video yang bagus dan menarik, keluarga yang menyenangkan, anak anda cantik dan cerdas. Terimakasih sudah berbagi ilmu tentang bertani. Sangat memotivasi saya. Saya ingin bertani seperti anda. Salam...
Beauty is not the first thing that comes to mind when I think of a market garden, not when efficiency is the top priority. I don’t think however, that I’ve seen a more beautiful one. It must make the hard work a little more pleasant, especially while being serenaded with bird song.
Honestly, it was hard work in the beginning. Now it's such a pleasure to take a stroll in the garden. It's nearly not considered work anymore, even though we have to work;)
Hello from WV, USA. You're farm is amazing. I noticed the trees you left growing within your beds. How much does it help to keep the lettuce from bolting? Great video..
Hey there! Thank you for the kind words. It helps in many ways. Just like you mentioned, in the heat of summer we can safely grow 'spring'-type crops like lettuces, radishes etc. without them bolting too quickly. (of course we still choose cultivars that can handle the heat better than others). But we've seen a reduction in irrigation need. Increased biodiversity. Protection from harsh elements including the sun, rain, wind, hail etc. We can work throughout the summer in the dappled shade without ever having the feeling we're going to faint of the heat. and a lot more benefits! Having said that, in early spring and autumn it does take the crops in some places under the trees a bit longer compared to the same crops in full sun. So it's not all positive. It also takes a bit more work in autumn to clean up the beds (after all trees shed their leaves). It might take a little longer to clean salad mixes grown under the trees in autumn. Anyways, the pros far outweigh the cons for us! Hope that helps.
Hey thank you! We don't necessarily do visits, but our doors are always open from Monday to Friday 10:00 / 18:00 if you'd like to buy some produce;) What title? I don't understand....If you mean the song I have no idea. The video crew from Farmers Friend produced this video. You can ask them under this video: ua-cam.com/video/HAZwj23DxVE/v-deo.html
Hey Dominic Thank you! We currently don't take any volunteers. It's something we'd love to include at a later stage. But learning farming first hand is one of the best experiences you can get! There's many farms you could learn from, so keep searching and I'm sure you'll find a farmer who can help you out. All the best!
Welcome to the channel! :) Our initial investment was about 15,000 US dollar. One thing I really want to do with this channel is to have complete transparency. So no secrets here;)
@@TheDutchFarmer Nice to know that. Definitely you have a new follower :) Maybe one day I will migrate from a kitchen garden to a market garden :) Who knows
Hi Moreno I am trying to plant / germenate onions from seeds and never succeed??!!! Although I am using good quality seeds, ready made composite and give a good water for the first time and more than 10 days past and no single plant rised🙄🙄. What I am missing? Can you help please. I am staying in UAE where the climate is hot already and I am germenate under the stairs.
@@TheDutchFarmer Of course, --> the channel name, silly me! What do you think about this type of machine, would be helpful: ua-cam.com/video/6efPr83U_wY/v-deo.html (besides being way too expensive)?
I "see" the future of organic gardening with the help from the automation(including for small greenhouses), low power electric tools including walk behind battery electric tractors(see Tesla) and electric wheelbarrow. Machines(of course, electric) holding workers in prone position(let's name it MPP) to prevent back pain. No paths, but rails(each 3 meter separated, maybe) - the whole surface being used. Easy and efficient for the e-wheelbarrow and MPP to access the whole surface, no matter if it's muddy, raining or whatever. From the rails' base could be attached the tarps or the half-rings of the low(or high!) polytunnel - no need for rocks, sand bags. Of course, the questions are about the costs but also about how much they can improve the productivity and thus if they can be cost effective mid-term.
@@TheDutchFarmer Yes, but organic gardening need every help it can get to fight the "traditional"(chemical&GMO) way - at least close down in prices(including labour) and quantities
Hi thanks for sharing your story! One question, how were you able to source wood chips in France? I've been looking into this but haven't been able to determine if it is possible to get wood chips for free or low-cost from tree cutting services or municipalities (as is common in the US). Or did you have to purchase? Thanks again!
Hey Walker S. We have a local tree cutting service in the area where we can source it for free. We can also let them deliver it at delivery cost. Otherwise there's also companies we can buy it from, but obviously we prefer the free one;). It took us quite a while to find a free source as there's not many of them available here in our area. Most wood chips are now being used for a newer wood stove system that runs on wood chips, so it's getting more difficult to source this for free!
@@davelawson2564 It's a lot of work to source all that organic matter from restaurants, market places etc. We have access to cow manure from local farmers. We bought in lots of compost from compost facilities in the area but in time want to use only the local cow manure!
@@TheDutchFarmer There is no one size fits all to this. whatever organic matter you can source for free/low cost , use it. Those closer to urban areas can get waste from restaurants , super markets etc ...and can use to feed pigs/chicken and rest composted.
We sold mostly to chefs, organic stores and distributors located in the cities at an hour drive from our farm. We've been developing a lot the on-farm sales and hope that this upcoming season we'll be able to do only on-farm sales. Lots of marketing, promoting and word of mouth.
We've bought and imported everything from Johnny's in the US. When we started there were not many tool companies supplying these in Europe. They're getting more abundant now. www.johnnyseeds.com/ "Bed roller - Jang seeder - 6-row seeder". Hope that helps!
