Justin your homestead is just as great and efficient as the ones you visited, you should be pleased. I remember Pete when he was at your place, another smart man. His wood chip mountain is amazing, what great soil he will be making. I wish him great success with his farm. Sad that the Market you were at can call itself a "Farmers Market". We have the same here in Alberta Canada but where I moved from in BC Canada the Farmers Market had to be all home grown and home made goods. There are always dishonest people waiting to take advantage of the masses. I love how comfortable Henry is in Petes arms.
Pretty cool you were here in Fort Myers, Florida. Great information about how to look for plastic bins versus cardboard boxes at the "Farmers Markets"!
I'm so glad you were able to bring your kids! I tried to schedule a visit last spring and they weren't allowing a brood of kids to take the tour. Sadly we never went bc we have 5 young kids and turned to more local growers and Pete up here north of Tampa. Thank you for allowing us to tag along! I hope they start to allow small groups of kids in the future. It's all about learning, at all ages.
SMALL WORLD! I JUST started watching you and Joel Salatin in preparation for ramping up our homestead a little bit. My sister, Vanessa, worked at ECHO a few years ago and meet my BIL, Craig, there. I sent them this video and Craig said, “Whoa! That’s fun. I built that building that the pigs are in deep litter composting. And we are good friends with the farmer he talks to at the Farmers Market, his name is Danny Blank he’s from CA and he used to work at ECHO.” My sister and I are from Northern CA. Craig and Vanessa are now in East Africa working at a hospital and helping to bring these types of systems to that area. We’re just here in Nor. CA starting to use our new 2+ acres. LOVING YOUR VIDEOS/IDEAS!! ❤🐓🐖
💖your video! Actually, your children caught my attention right away and I followed them around. They pick out the greatest things to focus on. When they come to a stop it is time to really look at what they are looking at! The adults were not too bad. Loved all the fun you were all having! Great time! Take care. ❇❇❇
Love the mountains in Florida that's a good one. Have to tell my nephew's and niece's that live down there to go visit Mount Florida😂 y'all sure pick some really cool places to visit. Sending much love and big hugs and safe travels.. Thanks for sharing and some great destination spots to check out.. 🙏❤🕊🏋🏼😄💞👨👩👧👧👨👩👧👦💕🌿🌻🙏🤗
Great team work everyone. That's the way it should be. Glad you all enjoyed the time away, hard sometimes to get back in the groove. Heal up fast from the surgery.
I love ECHO! That's so cool that you got to visit them! I would have loved to have interned there when I had the energy and strength! Such a cool organization!!! ❤️
I loved so much about this video. Pete of course is always a favorite! I was following him before you actually! Henry was especially fun to watch. I love watching his personality blossom.
Thanks for showing Echo Farms and Green Dreams with Pete Kanaris that visited your place a bit ago. This was very interesting to watch. It sounds like you'll have a visit to Pete's nursery in March of 2023? I'll be looking forward to see how much he has progressed with his plans.
Oh my Justin and Rebekah! The turkens are fabulous birds! Gentle and good layers of a nice light brown egg. Not pretty birds but that is totally beside the point!
Oh come on! Y’all went to Fort Myers?! That’s my hometown baby! We were just down there from TN a few months ago to help with disaster relief after hurricane Ian! I went to this place on several field trips as a kid!
We used to sell at a small Farmer's Market in NH, and they had a rule that everything had to be grown or made by the seller. Kept the resellers out. I went to the Boston Market once, and was dismayed to see all the resellers -- wasn't what I thought of as a 'farmer's' market at all.
Had I known you were down there I would have stopped by to say hello, at ECHO Echo echo or. They just had their annual big doings but I just never made it last Saturday
😲I live in florida, and that giant wood chip pile is an enormous brown recluse nest and feeding ground! It's awesome, and he has an amazing plan, but holy $^@+ I'd be nervous everytime i walked close to it and freak out evertime i felt something touch me!
Brown recluse do not live in mulch piles and aren’t native to Florida and have only been found established in a few building in Florida. They prefer indoor spaces and are most likely brought in when people move old boxes of clothes/household items to the state.
Justin, love you and your work. Writing to ask that you please minimize the camera swooping back and forth. Sorry but I want to see the subject of discussion too. No need to keep switching back and forth. It makes my head hurt.
When your kid said how are they gonna get the track loader in the pig pen I couldn’t help but laugh! You need to stick him in there with a pitch fork and a wheel barrel and he will change his tune. Hard work makes people way different then someone who gets to use a track loader for most of the hard stuff. It is very interesting how they farm down there
@@jimputnam2044 I have watched his channel for years now. Yes Justin and his little girl lily sure are hard workers. But the boys… all the wanna do is run equipment and mess around on dirt bikes. Their is time for work and time for fun in life. To me it has always seemed that those boys are just half way working b
Locust Valley Farms, you forget that we see 20-30 minutes of their full day. Lily works with Justin. Jonah is out moving animals, dealing with bedding and taking care of Henry, as well as troubleshooting or cleaning the kitchen. Josiah is the pig man. Pigs are a challenge all their own, dumping food, water, and testing fences. Each one of his kids are hard workers. The track loader is a new thing, so Jonah can’t wait to try that too. He can be seen in many a video with a pitchfork in his hands, dealing with deep bedding.
Your not wrong . Its just sad to to see this age a children isnt enjoying the work. Farming is a labor of LOVE. You can make ok $ doing it ..Its sad to me that when they are doing real work..they are ready to be done.
Farmers markets all over the country have different policies here where I live in Northern New Mexico they want the right to come and look at your farm and they like everything to be within 100 miles of the market
The guy just told the holy creator Justin Rhodes something he didn’t no and keeps asking more questions I thought a creator new everything I guess he don’t not even close I see he hasn’t had Henry on his back lately wat a dork
Great vison Pete. Thanks Justin for showing us this new venture 😊😊

I love ECHO! We took a training there before moving to Tanzania and almost moved there full time. It's a really great program!
Yay, the Rhodes are back. Hoping you feel refreshed & great memories were made I'm sure 😊 missed y'all Hello from Utah. ☺️
Oh my goodness, thanks for taking us along on this amazing trip. Blessings from San Diego...
Thanks for sharing! Interesting how the different climates work. Blessings to all 🤗💜🇨🇦
Hello dear how are you doing today?
Glad to see that you've posted today. You certainly look and sound more rested. Hey Y'all from Louisiana
That mulch segment was eye opening for our farm. Thanks, guys.
Spring Hill is about 2 miles from my house! Thanks for the heads up!
Pretty cool you were here in Fort Myers, Florida. Great information about how to look for plastic bins versus cardboard boxes at the "Farmers Markets"!

Great video! I follow both you and Pete. (I live in Florida). Your youngest boy is so precious! I could watch him all day!

Funny to see Henry’s little squeal in the golf cart. 😂 “boss baby” all kids are wild and we take them I swear.
You and your family were really close to our house! Love watching your shows.
Fantastic vidéos where you make us discover new amazing people !!!
Blessings +++!!!
Awesome getting the southern perspective. Love it

Down to earth family farming. Real!
YOU’RE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello Chelsey how are you doing,
where are you from?
Wow this was such a fantastic video! It’s loaded with so much information that I’m going to watch again! ❤
Happy valentines days
Oh my Justin and Rebekah! The turkens are fabulous birds! Gentle and good layers of a nice light brown egg. Not pretty birds but that is totally beside the point!
love the mulch idea
Oh come on! Y’all went to Fort Myers?! That’s my hometown baby! We were just down there from TN a few months ago to help with disaster relief after hurricane Ian! I went to this place on several field trips as a kid!
It I currently 1: 30 pm in Pakistan and I was just waiting to see you video and go to sleep
Nice coverage. That place is good to be great.
When tilapia get cold they float to top of water, so you get in paddle & boat and net them out! Then restock the next spring!
Brilliant video, thank you.
All very interesting!!

Love this! Yall have fun on your vacation! Im on SE Texas we have about the same weather, moving from Ohio I love it!
This is in my area and I've never had a chance to go, I'm definitely adding it to the top of my list
I’m thirty minutes from there. Have fun.
Looks good! I wonder if they could do some form of aerobic lines under those windows to make it where they don't have to turn it.
My kind of vacation..great job ya'll!! ty..xoxo 🥰🖐👍✌🤟🤪
Jessica would like this for her pond, I bet
Juston, the lake at the old power station in Arden had telopia. The power station produced heat.
Very nice videos
Gosh learn so much from your trip.👍
Welcome home
Had I known you were down there I would have stopped by to say hello, at ECHO Echo echo or.
They just had their annual big doings but I just never made it last Saturday
Weedem and reap buys tilapia in spring and harvests them before winter.
Justin, Daniel at Arms Family Homestead has tolapia in his pond in the summer. He and his son fish for bass and they eat the tolapia too i believe
Interesting! 🤔 Really enjoyed this! Hope you’re back now, Justin!! 😫
Lekker holiday.
Respect from Africa 🇿🇦
Hello dear how are you doing today?
Wow you guys were in my county dang would have loved to have met you an family . Spring hill is my county ❤
Cold weather fish farmers keep their fish tanks in greenhouses or warehouses/barns.
Worden farms is a great organic farm somewhat near echo worth taking a look at too. Also Jessica's organic farm in Sarasota.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hear in England we grow rhubarb can you try it. It is a lovely pie with custard.

Talapia don’t have much nutrients , a bass pond is easy too
Justin, love you and your work. Writing to ask that you please minimize the camera swooping back and forth. Sorry but I want to see the subject of discussion too. No need to keep switching back and forth. It makes my head hurt.
what did u learn from ECHO that u may incorporate in your farm
My question regarding mulch is if it’s dumped from others how do you know if it has pesticides?
Welcome back!!!!!
Did he mention getting poison ivy and other poisonous vines in those wood chips? I’ve wanted to get wood chips dumped but extremely allergic.
Look at the chem trails in that sky!!!😃
LOL< you can't even put the camera down for the whole vacation.

If you watch Justin's channel you would know his kids work hard, good people FR.

U can b a slave driver to urs if u wish. 👍

$50,000 mulch mountain that will cost $50,000 or more to move in diesel/labor
Cool
lol..Thats the same thing i was thinking..How do you get the loader in there?!
i love his jacket it sounds LGBTQ, did he part of it?
👌🏻👌🏻
It is hard in Florida to actually get fresh from a local farm product!
👍🙋♂️
Ridiculous that even farmers markets are being invaded on🙄
Why isn't it "Eco"?
The guy just told the holy creator Justin Rhodes something he didn’t no and keeps asking more questions I thought a creator new everything I guess he don’t not even close I see he hasn’t had Henry on his back lately wat a dork
The part about the pigs with the stable method is old, in the netherlands they did it with a "potstal" see wikipedia,
