    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!

      @@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.

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.

    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.

    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.
