We've visited Evan and Heidi's farm a few years ago, very inspiring. The hills are MUCH steeper than they look in video, its definitely a work out just walking up the hills

We have a slope too and are considering gravity-fed watering from cisterns. Our neighbors do this, as their well salinity became a problem. They collect and store all of their water needs in the rainy months.

Yeah that was interesting: I'm guessing the diversity allows the predators to survive and to keep the peaks down on the pest populations? Or else there's other habitat choices for the pests that are preferrable? And/or bird insectivores contribute? I also wonder if the isolation helps reduce pest populations from exploding?

Kevin & Heidi- Hello from our 350 working farm in central New Hampshire! Really good to see what you both are accomplishing! Reminds me of Helen & Scott Nearing. I am an Original Mother Earther farmsteader. Our farm is 3rd generation- Grass-fed beef- haying- logging. We are Zone 4B. Thanks so much for this tour. My favorite house design in the 1970s was the Envelope House. We built a farm cottage in 2016 at the base of the family farm. Being older and on a tight building schedule, we chose a solid modular construction. Designed it for both on or off grid. The inside is decidedly 1935! If you have an email address I would be happy to send photos of our farm. Your greenhouses remind me of Elliot Coleman in Maine. So encouraging to see this 18 year project you are undertaking! I will follow your channel wil interest. Happy organic 🌱 farming! ~ Diane

Waiting till the root cellar cools down enough to harvest potatoes is something we always have to deal with here also. We say " never dig potatoes till October". Do you grow your own seed potatoes? If so, how do you deal with early sprouting?

Thanks so much for the encouragement. :) I just noticed this response from Heidi on another commenters question so thought I'd copy it here to be sure you saw it as well. "No deer fencing,we have a black lab who sleeps out at night during the warmer weather. Except for early spring and late fall the deer are grazing down lower on hay fields and pasture , we cover with row cover early spring and late fall.one of the benefits of being surrounded by animal habitat, deep forest , edge space and fields is that the abundant local wildlife have space to live there lives without encroaching on our livelihood."

@FarmersFriend
@FarmersFriend 3 жыл бұрын
Hopefully others can chime in too, but the Tilther that Evan uses to cultivate the top inch or two of soil is different than a tiller used to break up 6-10 inches of soil. There are probably multiple schools of thought on this, but one con for traditional tilling is that it breaks up the soil structure that develops over time and is healthy for the plants and the ecosystem in general. The Tilther only stirring the surface leaves the bulk of the soil structure in place. Hope that helps!
