Caterpillar Tunnels Save Mountainside Farm in Temperate Rainforest

Farming on a slope in North Carolina’s Temperate Rainforest comes at a cost for Tyler and Casey. Learn how they built their beautiful 1/4 acre market farm despite incredibly rocky soil, and how they have overcome $20,000+ of crop loss due to torrential rainfall. Discover how the introduction of one simple tool helped to double the amount of food they were growing for their community. See how Tyler uses music to relax and get away from the busy farm life and how their growing family of animals motivates them to keep working harder each day.

I always dig videos from FF, not only for the products, but also for the beautiful farm footage as well as the stories from the farmers. Keep it up 👏👏👏

[@FarmersFriend]

Thank you for the kind encouragement!

[@iamshanif]

Your videos are well produced and express a lot of good emotions about life and food... I feel like having to live a life this close to the nature away from all the busy city life is just so peaceful ☺️

Thank you for sharing your beautiful videos and intresting content.

This video really got me thinking. I grow flowers around my house like nobody’s business. However, I’m thinking maybe it’s time to take the next step and be productive by growing food as well. I’m in Zone 9b so adding citrus and other fruit bearing trees would be the way to go for me. Thanks for the inspiration!

Also in NC, 3 acres around Browns Summit. Zone 7B, clay rocky soil. Busy putting in hardscapes right now. My intentions are to feed our family first, but now taking into consideration that I could make a living from what I love to do. I think there is hope that I could do that. I’d love to see what that future might be like. Thanks for the vid. ❤

Really good videography!

[@paulkaufmann8130]

Neat couple. Inspiring.

[@FarmersFriend]

They were an inspiration to us too!

[@janking2762]

Just to add, there are many nearby Amish growers that use tunnels extensively. There is also a large local manufacturing industry for protected growing, making hoop houses and high tunnels mostly.

Nice couple

[@janking2762]

I know what you mean about that rainfall. In northern Delaware we have gotten 45-70” annually over this past few years. Growing under cover is a game changer, even for us kitchen gardeners.

[@M_T_outdoors]

[@nickchandler3622]

Hi Jonathan, another inspirational story and video! I am a cancer survivor who started growing organic vegetables for a healthy lifestyle over 10 years ago. I have been utilizing the market garden techniques for a home market garden. I have a small KZbin channel with my son. LeaveMeAlone ImBusyFarming and would like to collaborate with you and your company for the home Gardner community. I have never wanted to monetize my channel, it’s about inspiring others to grow their own organic vegetables. Hugh Ziccardy
