Incredible Organic Orchard Protects 350 Old Apple Varieties

Imagine a world with more people like Eckart.

What a beautiful video! It brought tears to my eyes. I could see how much he loves his life, and how he lives so harmoniously with nature. This was inspiring to me. I remember, as a child growing up in the Monterey Bay Area in California (early 1960's), my grandfather was connected with apple growers in the Watsonville area, and we also had a few old (Gravenstein) apple trees growing on our property. They were delicious. The trees were very old then, maybe close to the turn of the century. I came away with a love for the agriculture in the Central Coast area, as it was in the 60's, although now my interests have turned toward permaculture and regenerative farming. Thanks for this wonderful video. It brightened my day greatly.

Fantastic. So nice to see that what makes sense in one region, also makes sense in another. So many similarities with our Permaculture Orchard.

Eckart reminds me of my father, who also collected apple cultivars and grew them organically, such a calming film. I must remember the quote from the Talmud "It is given to us to do the work, but it is not given that we complete the work".

[@xue5767]

What a beautiful quote and story of your father. Thanks for sharing.

[@mashalashangry2438]

what a great story and also the face of Eckart is so beautiful, glowing young face . thank you so much for the work on this video

[@Calliope0954]

This program is fabulous! Names of the old cultivars - I had no idea they existed. Please help Herr Eckart keep his fam flourishing. Far too many commercial fruit growers use too much insecticides, pesticides, almost no natural pollinaters. Thank you for this information! A frustrated Canadian up here, I have not seen an Empire or Snow, Northern Spy or Paula Red. I liked the Northern Spy for baking, they never ceased to be delicious. I like the Golden Delicious and Paula Reds for eating out of hand!!

Great & highly valuable work by Eokart & you the film maker. Superb.

[@nickp5093]

What a great guy Eckart is. Do it because it's worth doing! That's enough.

[@xue5767]

What a calming film 💕 great job yet again!

[@pawel6468]

Good job for our mother nature, keep this way

[@shawnlivers2757]

Thank you for this very helpful information.

[@mauricebrown9094]

Thank you so much Sir. Your story is something the world needs to apply, what you can do with a bit of land and the idea that we don't need pesticides to cover our crops, as years ago flora & fauna didn't need them then and don't need them now if you grow every inch that you have while growing for the future.. You Sir will have and are having a wonderful impact on the Planet. Thank you..

This video is such a gem! Awesome! 🙌🏼

the man is a treasure

[@raunchyrarebit]

He's an anti black bigot living a life of white privilege

[@Typhonnyx]

Quality of this video is immaculate

[@MoniqueDiCarlo]

Would love to visit him and contribute to his efforts by planting some of his cuttings. I love his holistic approach, I learned from it! I plan to move back to Europe next year, so who knows!

[@nikkivene8467]

I love that Eckart talks about creating shelter/ homes/ nesting sites for blue tits as a holistic approach to insect/ pest control. This is the answer over pesticides!

[@mgoldfield5821]

We made note of the Cornelian cherry because we are in the process of planting a wild hedge and want to support early pollinators. We subscribed, too!

[@jannisbille5161]

Very interesting video, thank you so much for sharing!

[@Christine-nj3kl]

Many thanks

[@barnabyvonrudal1]

Great work, I'd like to visit his farm. And maybe do some workshops there, I'm sure he must have plenty of interesting skills to share ...

[@Tiffany-Rose]

i just want to run through that place trying all the fruit 🤩🤩🤩

[@nicktozie6685]

You are amazing sir,I salute you. Danke

[@mtnmouselily8220]

fabulous!

[@stayinggolden2665]

Second video, new sub. I do enjoy watching sustainable farming, that's exactly what I'm working towards on my property!

[@GrowingSmall]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@fafafarmlife]

Tôi rất thích video này ❤

[@joepschmobly]

How can we purchase the seeds for the apple trees?

[@ariadgaia5932]

Oh my gosh!! Really!? I love apples, but have recently developed sensitivities to their proteins due to my increasing sensitivity to Latex... Could I truly find heirloom apples that are safe for me to eat!? My boyfriend & I plan to start an organic permaculture farm in the mountains within the next 5 years~ If this is true then I will most definitely wish to find a few apple varieties that I can safely eat & bake with! I miss crab apples and apple pie... We are also planning to start an organic restaurant using the crops we grow in on our farm along with locally sourced organic produce~ Oh! This gives me so much hope! I love sour apples! Are there any varieties you might suggest I look into? Your help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for this video!!

[@ariadgaia5932]

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEWS WITH ECKART!?!? I JUST SIGNED UP!!! :D THANK YOU JAKOB!!!

[@Atimatimukti]

I have one cultivar like that, it's called Condess ( or Grafin von) Von Goldash. It's from Bavaria, south Germany

[@ianflem6489]

Wish I could be there to try the apples...must be tasty unlike today apples.

[@janohdegroot989]

Nice video.. music perhaps a little less loud..

[@JohnKnisley-z2t]

Eckart - I have a small biologically diverse orchard outside of New Ulm Minnesota. We are growing a number of old US heirlooms already and would like to focus more on even older varieties from Germany. New Ulm is named after Ulm Germany and settled by German immigrants in the mid-1800's. I also make cider and am wondering if we can somehow connect and trade scion wood to graft trees. I would really love to plant more German apple varieties here where I live.

[@seangillespie4601]

anyone know, is that some sort of blue aster?

[@itzakpoelzig330]

Are you asking about the flower at 3:07? It looks like chicory to me.

[@Orthodoxi]

Corn flower I believe. 😊

[@mgoldfield5821]

Centaurea cyanus, commonly known as cornflower or bachelor's button, is the same gorgeous color. I think the flower shape in the video looks more like an aster, tho. In North America we also have a blue roadside wildflower called chicory.

[@C.Hawkshaw]

Im a tree pruner, l want to work on his farm!

[@vickit9190]

Tell us more about these varieties? I would love to find an old strain to grow as my first apple tree.

[@yvonnehyatt8353]

Send people to help, and send to -Jim Rogers. Please thanks.
