Field Trip to The CSA Buyer's Club w/ Urban Farmer Jim Kovaleski

It was another $2K week for Jim Kovaleski selling his produce and cut flowers! This time we tagged alongside Jim to his CSA Buyer's Club instead of the typical garden update. His gardens are definitely thriving this time of the year and his customers keep coming back for that beyond organic quality!
ALSO, we filmed a Course with Jim Kovaleski a few years back. It's called "The Grass-Fed Market Garden" ; this course is packed with valuable information + content and is affordable! Learn from the Farming Master!

Every time you do a video with Jim makes me feel like a kid in a candy store

[@cpnotill9264]

You know it Justin!

[@leobaltz2057]

Me too me too!!! I can’t get enough of this guy! Love me some Jim!!!

[@jeff6899]

There is something special about all these Jim Kovaleski video's that Pete does. I have often tried to put my finger on it. It is not just that we get clear & concise tips from Jim and he has a down-to-earth, very calm, genuine communication delivery--or that Pete knows how to pull the right levers on the questions, components & methods we are all wondering about. I think It is more than that. For these never seem to get mundane. It is kind of journey for all those of the gardening that have sowing & growing in our soul or plants & soil continuously on the brain. I think we often feel that same sense of living, accomplishment, simple living & serenity as Jim does. It is almost like we are right there, along side him, playing in the dirt--and experimenting, learning and obtaining satisfaction right there with him.

[@janesanford2701]

Nice.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Thanks Jeff! That’s exactly my goal with these videos. I’d like to share this comment on my website and give you credit of course. 👊

[@jeff6899]

@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL ​ You are more than welcome--It's how I sincerely feel. And you can gladly reference me if you like--but not required ! Keep the great video's coming ! What I also like about them as You cover the topic, yet never go on too long ! (eg; Jon Kohler, if you know what I mean 😉😁 ). Not that I have anything against Jon--he has contributed much to growing greens--but the guy rambles into perpetuity ! :) Cheers :)

[@ajb.822]

Jim has the " it factor" of Gardeners. Charles Dowding does too, but I think I like Jim even more. Not anything majorly new to hear about typically on a video w Jim yet I love them so much anyways.

[@cpnotill9264]

@@ajb.822 Agree AJ & Jeff, Jim has an overall demeaner, kind kindred spirit with a down to earth vibe that we can relate to. Out of all the gardeners/farmers I listen to he is the one I can most relate to. I have many similarities and he has really helped me with grounding so to speak. Just a subtle reminder to do good work, feed people, to always try new techniques and share knowledge. Such a humble man too. My scythe should arrive today and thanks to Jim and Pete for that. I light up when Pete posts a new video of Jim. 💚👍🌱

[@Camille_Boomer77000]

"What are you going to do with all this money? Buy an apple press" 😂 I love Jim, he is so humble and caring. His community is lucky to have him.

[@stevobear4647]

We always love seeing Jim! Beautiful garden!

[@TheGardenerNorth]

I don't feel like I'm going out on a limb by saying Jim is the 'Elliot Coleman' of 'You want healthy food, I've got healthy food'. Love these down too earth market videos!

[@charlottecmgh3791]

This is what I would call green energy in motion. Jim is amazing.

[@bryangalen6340]

The Master Class is legit. I’m rewatching the videos all the time. It’s better than any book I’ve bought. Thanks for another Jim video!

[@cpnotill9264]

I will have to check it out as you're recommending it Bryan?

[@bryangalen6340]

I do recommend it. There’s SO much farming/gardening classes and information out there but this one I keep going back to and the only one I paid for. It is just a good fit with my context too.

[@cpnotill9264]

@@bryangalen6340 Thank you Bryan and I appreciate your take on his Master Class. I find I just connect with Jim on simplistic ways, he's not afraid to try new ways and use ideas from others. He also doesn't have the latest tools, fancy bags and keeps it on a small scale which really appeals to me. I went to soil blocks this year because of him and just love making them. Thank you again Bryan and may you be blessed with abundance in your garden journeys! 🌱

[@cpnotill9264]

@@bryangalen6340 I just joined and really like what I'm seeing thanks to you Bryan. I can already see areas where I can improve and so looking forward to learning from Jim. 👍🌱

Two wonderful men, Jim is such humble man

[@jeff6899]

Agree--have made a similar comment in the past. Nice guys, obviously. Refreshing here, isn't it ?? :)

[@therealz360z7]

He does appear that way but he's the kind that all the exwives adore him but he doesn't do relationships well.

[@auyannaplants]

I enjoy watching Jim you can tell he loves it. Thank you for sharing

[@jeff6899]

Yeah, I get that vibe all the time as well :)

[@helicart]

Jim is the epitome of cool in my books. The guy is smart, hard working, and generous in sharing his knowledge. He would be most valuable member of any community he chooses to live. God Bless his cotton socks.

[@sebastianpmgcoldwater8941]

And here I was thinking that my paltry patch of sand was in the game showing exponential growth within a few weeks time. 700 +/- seed sounded like a substantial sew for me but Jim is not only pre sprouting but planting hundreds a week. I'm still working on my understanding of botanical biology and I always file a new entry when Jim speaks of his romance with the earth.
