When they spoke next to the veggie stand and the owner said that they “try to encourage and teach people that they can do this themselves”, is such a selfless and humbling gesture. He could’ve easily not say that and try his best to be greedy and tell everyone that his veggies are the best and that they have to buy only his. Also when he said that “there’s not much youngsters coming into the farming/gardening game, and it’s kind of a scary thing/feeling”, man that gave me goosebumps. It is absolutely TERRIFYING to think that. Not only is it scary but very sad. The MATERIAL INFLUENCE within the world especially social media, has really changed the way these kids think and feel about themselves. Without farmers or even backyard farmers, the world is in a whole lot of hurt. I really admire and appreciate people like this man and you also Kevin. I’ve been an avid gardener for decades and haven’t gone to a commercial scale but I do grow more than we can eat and give away at least half of our produce. The smiles and hugs we get is amazing. And most of all REWARDING. That’s what life is about. Keep it farmers and gardeners. We all can change the mindsets. It’s not too late….. Much love and Aloha ✊🏼🙏🏼🤙🏼

I would love to see everyone growing something in their neighborhood, thereby decreasing food transportation, as well as increase food resilience. However, just as people who publish recipes figured out, most people will never actually do it themselves, which is unfortunate. However, possibly by publicizing it, it might influence the few people who will try and also possibly gardeners or farmers who are farming using harmful chemicals. Every little bit helps.

WOW! This episode just knocked me out! I don't usually "comment" online, but I have been watching and learning from gardening info videos for a few years and this is one of my favs so far. I am a 81-year old USAF veteran/amateur gardener living in a confusing USDA "ZONE", Southeast corner of Kansas. We border on 3 other states...Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri. and it seems to be a "toss-of-dice" to plant the right stuff at the right time, even with the inpput form the "PROS" ( lovcal Kansas farmers) now due to a touch higher than normal weather. As kids ( 1950's and 1940's ) it was a contest who could get their picture on the front page of our local Sunday newspaper...frying an egg on the sidewalk in front of your house!

As a fellow market garden Farmer I really enjoyed seeing this video. I would say the title is a bit misleading as there is no farm I know of, including this one, that can operate without fossil fuels (in the background was a four wheeler that was used to transport produce, the landscape/greenhouse plastic supplies are produced with such fuels, the greenhouse was heated with propane on cold nights, etc.) I understand this farm is labored by the hands of people instead of tractors but still uses fossil fuels in certain appropriate contexts. I do not say this to take anything away from his video because I loved it, just thought the title of the video was very misleading. I loved the terracing work that this farm is doing!

I was speaking to the title of the video and, as a fellow Market Gardener, knowing that it is about impossible to get away from fossil fuel use to make the claim that we are operating with no fossil fuels. Oh course it is always important to reevaluate our production methods and see where we can limit or get away from fossil fuels. This farm does a great job of that! I did not mean to compromise what this farm is doing and apology if it came across that way but am speaking truthfully about the dilemma that all Market Gardeners face.

Is it too costly to have a farm horse or bull for the physical labors?

It depends on what you call using fuel. The first thing I noticed at the greenhouse had plastic covering it unless that’s a bendable glass. And I’m not one minute into the video.

Part of the issue with plastics is how long they stay around for. So unless they have any plans on burning it and dumping it into the air, it can be re-used over and over again instead of more needing to be produced to quickly replace it. This is some pretty petty, and frankly dumb, nitpicking.

@@Vaeldarg I find it amazing how people say their minimalists with respect to a certain discipline that they are involved in. You can look around that area and you can see lots of things that were made using various kinds of fuels and energy. It’s one thing to say I try to do without some of these different materials but if they want to live like the Amish, that would impress me. If they are growing various vegetables for their own use, more power to them if they go in the least bit commercial, they’re going to need mechanized equipment and horses.

ok I just wanted to say: This segue with the owner was hilarious. I know it's just for the production but when you said: "I think I see the owner" and the guy was literally 5 feet away from you, all I could think of is: This mofo is mr magoo haha

I have raised beds, new this year. Somehow I have got some sort of Vine type plant that keeps showing up in all of my beds. Is there any way I can get to the bottom of this or solve this?

I am not a purest, but if you are going to caplock NO fossil fuels, you might want to edit out where he said he used a tractor, used a propane heater and had a gas quad.

lol ikr, not even 3 min in they say no fossil fuels. And then show a dude unloading stuff from a trailer pulled by a quad… I don’t really care, but that seems like you’re intentionally misleading

I think he meant they don’t use fossil fuels for tilling and planting. I dunno. But I did notice the quad and chuckled a bit. 😂

Sorry to be negative but plastic sheeting is made from petroleum which is crude oil. He isn't burning fossil fuel but he is using it and it will end up in the oceans after he is finished with it.
