I tip my hat to these incredible ladies. I share the same dream, the same land, the same struggles. I'm early and alone in my journey back on the forgotten and neglected farmlands of my family. I grow as the food grows, I evolve as the land evolves. I learn as I watch and listen. I thank you for continuing to inspire me and others, taking it back to the way farming this land should be ❤ Keep planting, keep farming, keep smiling 😊
This is both our past and our future as a species. The current breakdown in global cultural stability is really only affecting people in countries that have gotten away from this pastoral living. I'm not saying everyone has to go back to farming, but I think we as Westerners have strayed too far from our connection to the land and nature. Globalization may have given us cheap electronics and fast fashion, but at great cost to our mental and physical well-being, not to mention being unsustainable from a pure resource allocation standpoint. Thank you for these videos!
Precisely on point, this is how we are supposed to live and farm, and regeneration of the soil is part of the cycle of Nature. I love this , much love to all these respectful people ❤
This is fairly close to where I live and I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to know that this approach to farming is on my doorstep. Well done to these two farmers
Wonderfully inspiring film about the joys and re-energizing the land which, in turn, with the animals, crops, insects, and landscape invigorates us. Cheers from America.
Not farmers. This is little more than a hobby which in no way can supply food on an industrial scale. Fine if we were to depopulate the planet by about 90%
@@sunnyseacat6857yeah you are wrong. The animals do help the land, that is the native wild animals. The ones we displace when we add chickens and cows and goats etc… so no it is in fact not ethical to use livestock only for land preservation because that’s for the native animals. At best scenario you raise farm animals in a least intrusive way to the environment before harvesting them as a resource.
Brilliant resilient hard work and determination to build soil, feed a family, provide for the community, and promote the natural systems. Great to see this in Scotland.
Brilliant - so inspiring. I watched this after being with them for a half day on how to make a kitchen garden. It was wonderful to be able to ask as many questions as I liked, get the answers and be inspired. Plus the honey cake at coffee time was made totally with honey from their bees! Yummy. I highly recommend a visit if you can.
So so inspiring!! Thank god they are still good people like these 2 ladies for making the world a better place. I am craving a similar life away from the city madness.
Their story is inspiring and I totally embrace their ethos. This was really lovely, beautifully shot and I understand that this is a more high level, over arching sort of video rather than a details oriented one. I would have loved to have seen more of their end product and learn how they go about providing food for their community.
How could you not buy that farm! The views are absolutely amazing. These hella cool chicks are absolutely living the dream. Very VERY hard work with wonderful results 😍
I love your generous spirits! May your farm continue to thrive and develop as what you have already put into place points the way to the next steps.....
aw this is so brilliant, well done it brings tears to my eyes, you are so amazing both of you. xxxx Thank you for your contribution to the future vision of humanity.. You are so so inspiring.
New to this channel, passionate about regenerative farming, what an absolutely brilliant, almost archetypal story, subscribed straightaway and looking forward to watching all your other videos, obvs made with love and care. What an inspirational pair, good to see pigs in the mix, they've done their research. Fantastic to hear someone acknowledging the competition that honeybees represent for other pollinators. And 30,000 trees across half the croft?! And all capped off with a super quotable closing para. Best wishes to them both.
You seem to work well together...close bond you have. Impressive work in such terrain, growing produce in such an environment on paper wouldn't seem to work.
You gal's are forward thinkers. Two thumbs up. Creating a balance use of the land. I hope you continue putting up videos and sharing your life and work. I love hearing from people that talk naturally about there experiences. A person who does nothing makes no mistakes. So keep doing and sharing your learning. I love it.
Hello. I just found your video on UA-cam. I’m an old farm/ country boy. I was watching a video from Scotland on how they bail hay etc., but I don’t see where a big farm would grow corn that would Think animals. Plus Sorghum , the sorghum that I got you could grow it you could make syrup out of it plus the top is grains. You could grind that up and use it as flour for baking, or sell it. You could take a few acres, and put in lavender. My last name is Davidson which the clan is from Scotland . Everything if possible I’d like to keep in touch with you guys. Good luck on the farm. Joe.
If I was in Scotland, I’d leave my life and beg them to let me be a ‘go for’ in exchange for a tiny home spot. I’d pay my rent and build the tiny home, give it to them and then pay rent to tiny house life. I reckon I’ve got 20 years of work left in me. These girls are my new super heroes 🙌♥️
Many thanks, this is very good and informative from both of you. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who would love to learn more. Is your course available online? Is it also available for international students?Thanks again.
Good for you. So many are afraid to let the sward do the natural thing to flower, and seed and regenerate. As if not allowing the sward to do this can be profitable in the long term.
Not at all! We only get the chance to visit farms once a year so we do as much as we can and then release when we get the chance. But we'll never abandon this channel!
@Sam Cooper, thanks for that, I love the reality of this documentary, This teaches so much of the importance of natural farming, against the destructive high intensity farming. Wishing great success to them ❤
Well they might not have planned going into agriculture but they sure took it on very well and got their business plan up, even evolving it you ’have to start with a plan’
With a cool climate such as Scotland, an organic fish production and recreation operation would be an excellent opportunity. It is not just about the rivers.
How much did you pay for the farm? Got a mortgage? What's the soil type? Genuine questions because I've been farming on better ground than this for 40 years and I'm buggered if I can come up with a method to make it pay. And I've tried!
We are self funded smallholders in Perthshire and agree with everything these ladies say. Good luck but with a word of warning, don't take the state 'help'.
As much as I'm onside and can see they've done amazing things with regenerative farming, I'm really keen to point out no-kill versions of regen ag exist and are perfectly viable; they're just a different set of ticks in the plus and minus columns. Besides that, I'd stress I'm very much on the same side and can see how inspiring what they've achieved is - it's empowering to know some people are able to find the out and are changing the direction of things right now.
I beg to differ,in a natural eco system everything eats everything down to the fungi,microbes and bacteria and as far as living off and growing just vegetables/plants many species of life must die or be killed from either the farmer or native beneficial predatory species.I mean no disrespect but there just is no getting around it.
@QiChiYang2 Hehheh, looks like one of the ink caps to me. But who knows, they may yet find P semilanceata elsewhere on the land, or P cyanescens if they use woodchip anywhere... 😊
So, after all, we are carnivore. If we let our lands to rebuild again with the their natural plants of those areas, what we have to do is put animals to graze them. Meat, eggs, dairy, some legumes (mostly the fruits like tomatoes), some fruits trees and some honey. That should suffice for everyone. Animals can be used nose to tail: from bones can be made glue, clothes from skin and hair etc. This way we don't interfere much in nature with pesticides, herbicides that pollute our water, we don't destroy the other animal's habitats.
Has anyone considered agroecology and other avenues of permaculture for agricultural use? If you are reading this don't know what permaculture is, or what agroecology is, it's a movement which seeks to implement ecological science and practices in such a way to harmonize agriculture and the ecosystems we implement it in. You can get more information than I can give you online obviously.
Longest chapter in Quran named ‘the cow’ and there is also a chapter called ‘the bees’. most of what you learnt is in the Quran mentioned there since more than 1400 years.

Really nature has so many amazing things to offer and I it's time to go back to reality and know what life means. This is my real dream.
I wish you every success in your venture. I really believe this way of producing food is the way forward
Fun! Congratulations!
This is such a busy time for farmers. I hope you find joy and a regenerative life-style as you make efforts to regenerate your family lands...

And let’s stop making and using plastic too!
Well said!
Good not agree more
Anyone can have a patch of garden, even in apartments. So many vegetables can be grown in containers. Herbs are well suited to container growing.
Incredible documentary. Those farmers are doing great things for this planet and for the future of human society.
Thank you so much!
This is fairly close to where I live and I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to know that this approach to farming is on my doorstep. Well done to these two farmers

So refreshing to hear farmers speak the truth about how farm animals can add to biodiversity and ecological health. And what an amazing farm!

Yes, to see animals as beings which help the land naturally and not as products to sell!

Am guessing you are breatharian?
God bless you for seeing what is true, not the definition of nature steeped in confusion, but reality: we are nature!
Brilliant resilient hard work and determination to build soil, feed a family, provide for the community, and promote the natural systems. Great to see this in Scotland.
Feed a family? Oh right they’re just missing the adopted Nigerians.
Wow! Such a nice way to contribute to a better overall world/life. You can be so proud. 🎉
You both are amazing!!! What a great job you are doing!
A beautiful and inspirational tour of Lynbreck Croft! Great things happen when we work with nature instead of against it.
Thank you so so much!

Not the easiest pivot to make. As a larger scale gardener i can see what a huge challenge this could be.
Nice to see you mention Joe and rotational farming. 🙏🌞🌻🐝🦋✨
This is just fantastic👏🏻
Thank you...from the high desert Nevada.
Thank you for this beautiful inspiration film! These ladies are doing something truly amazing 🙂
Truly an inspiration
Huw and Sam thanks for another wonderful video. It is so lovely to see farmers like Lynn and Sandra succeed in their endeavors.
Incredible ladies!
Well done you fantastic souls! Seems like you absolutely nailed the transition! 👌❤️
Id love to learn some more from you :)
Great Job Ladies, next time I'm up in Cairngorms may come visit, admirable work and something of dreams, you have been blessed :)
I love their enthusiasm! Amazing work!
I can't cope with the beauty of Scotland
Awesome, we need more people like this! 🙏
So educational and a beautifully made video. I can’t wait to do this someday soon.
Yeah nature is life.
Amazing video and all the best to them!
Great setup, keep up the good work. Like you said, what kind of life do you want to live.
Beautiful and brilliant work.
Amazing video and great work you are doing, the world needs much more home grown food for sure, very nicely done.
They are both strong and wonderful
Amazing!
Thank you❤
Great info and documentary.
Great info. Love the way they pronounce Joel Salatin’s last name…didn’t know who they were referring to at first! 🕊

I like to have enough to serve others. If you live just to get by you’re selfish cus you’re only thinking of yourself. Great documentary I love this

"Work with the pigness of the pigs" Sounds like Joel Sallatin of Polyface Farms.

Yes, it was disappointing to hear the cows being referred to as a product.
@@emmahutchings7601 after the cow lives it’s life out and then gets slaughtered the grass fed meat that is PRODUCED is sold as a PRODUCT…
If cows are not a product, or sheep , or pigs, or chickens, or even bees. Help me out here, I'm lost.
@@ThePmloc You and me both; I'm not sure what the question you're asking is?
It is definitely nice to be rich enough to play in the field and not worry about paying for expenses.

Perhaps they could look into keeping more native species of bees rather than just honey bees that will compete with the local pollinators.
