Making Money on a Small Colombian Farm 🇨🇴

[@paulashwell1604]

David - you are very happy when you visit the countryside, try to do that more often

[@allykhan8594]

Yeah, this was very intetesting. Anyone wanting to live in a new country will think of the best way to make a living but not tied up as western life styles. Nice to see that your channel has grown David.

[@chucksw1]

Very nice David! Great experience to help us learn and show us where coffee and bananas come from!

[@joannr3799]

This was a great video. It looks like something we all have to do at least once in our lifetime! The finca is beautiful! My husband’s niece has a finca that we are planning to go to next April, God willing🙏🏻

[@joepaul4406]

What a fantastic view. David you create some excellent videos. Keep taking us on your travels around Colombia !!!! I really enjoy your work

[@brennarodriguez6742]

I loved this video! Love the bits of info and insight from the farmers themselves! Would love to see another video like this but teaching more about el ganado and how those fincas work! As a Colombian/Jamaican with a small farm in the Caribbean this was beautiful to my heart ❤️ more of these please!!! 🇨🇴

[@josemartin1727]

Great video man. I went to a similar farm outside of Bogota that my gf at the time and her family took me to when I went to visit Colombia for the first time in 2018. The old man there had mango trees, banana trees and a lot of coffee bean plants. BTW the amount of 40K COP x 900 every 4 months would be approximately $8316 USD. Keep up the good work man. I'm glad I found your channel! I know you said you were originally from H-Town but believe it or not I'm from and live in Galveston man, small world. I plan to visit Colombia again soon. Hopefully within the next 2-3 months.

[@Tom-ri8ws]

This is probably my favorite video on your channel i've seen about Colombia so far. I feel like this is what Combia is going to be like when i'm there in June with my tour group

[@luisantelo1038]

Bro I became a subscriber recently and I can't stop watching your videos ,I've notice that your Spanish its very good,keep up the good work.

[@overlyent999]

You’re living life man… that view is something else!

[@SaraBurdick]

omg i love all the questions, since i have about 20 platano trees, and am learning, the other day a farmer taught me a lot while i was on the bus! I currently have three bunches growing.

[@e.santos1570]

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing a slice of heaven on this coffee farm. Wonderful people. Viva Colombia.

[@lifealchemyglobal]

This was one of your best videos! Me encanta cuando hables con la gente y podemos conocerles como son. No solo las cosas de la vida de un extranjero pero de la gente que hace Colombia tan genial como es.

[@hyun6926]

this was awesome dave. loved this insider scoop on how farmers live in colombia. a solid life!!

[@familia9207]

Buenas noches desde California se reporta un Mexicano…saludos David y gracias por crear tan buen video. Me canto este video y ya casi me dan ganas de irme a vivir a Colombia jajajja. Primera vez que veo tus videos y la vida aca en USA si es como la cuentas

[@ИванБезменов-с9м]

This is SO COOL. I really look forward to more content like this. Very interested. Your subs are great, and i love your calm manner of talking. Keep up your awesome doing.

[@vts5618]

Great informative video!. I'm trying to make the decision of living in Colombia on a more permanent basis, but out in the country. This video motivated me a little more. But, when I really think about it, It's one tough decision to make. But maybe that's the problem, I'm thinking about it too much, lol.

[@smegheadish]

What a gorgeous place!

[@kyler565]

What a great video. I would like to see the same type of video with the larger cattle farm

[@jaymazi6519]

Great Video ! Informative about farm life....Thanks David !

[@dariobanol8564]

You're in paradise...Hasta aqui sentimos la paz y la maravilla de ese lugar....DISFRUTALO...HUGS from NYC.

[@RelativeEarth]

This is extremely inspirational. I enjoyed the information and scenery immensely. Farming in the USA is way too demanding. I would love to wake up and do this for work.

[@texastater8333]

Spectacular views! Very beautiful!!

[@superstuffjack]

Great video. Cool to see outside of the city and content like this. Absolutely beautiful landscape

[@Pachobotas1981]

I like this guy....He shows the real and positive things in how you can live in Colombia

[@David-eh2ku]

Great video. Very interesting and the scenery is beautiful.

[@musabomar9824]

Man this video is amazing, this type of travels that I really like full of experience knowledge and human connection great content keep up the good work 💪🏾💪🏾

[@paxtecum4814]

We Colombians really know how to walk in the mountains because we were born in them. It is true that a ride down one of those slopes is very dangerous, so it is advisable to lean on a stick, like a third leg.

[@otashigo]

True that, my dad grew up in a steep mountain farm as well and i got his walking style which i also use to climb the mountain my house is on.

[@agastyajones2854]

I really enjoy these types on videos. It really pushes me to work harder so i can go on a trip like this and experience it for myself.

[@camilomunevar5951]

David, I’ve been watching all your videos and very informative for those not native of Colombia which by the way is also my country and love very much, next time in Medellin I will look you up and we can have a cup of coffee or guaro 😁 Thank you for showing a beautiful side of my country 🙏

[@emhenry3487]

I love this kind of videos when you talk to people and tell you the real stories about life in Colombia specially “en el campo” I love the fact that with the mountains you get the variety of climates, foods, fauna, customs from paisas, to vallunos, cachacos, costeños, opitas, llaneros, nuestros indígenas, so many.. very cool. Thank you for showing it, love it!

[@emhenry3487]

I meant to say I love the fact that the mountains give you the variety of climates, foods, fauna, customs from region to region, Los paisas from vallunos, from cachacos, costeños, opitas, llaneros, muchos! Great! I love that!!

[@BoydJones]

Very steep! But looks like a wonderful time! And yes “Colombians Making Money” would be a great series!

[@mathieumaticien]

I'm terrified of heights in the open too lol. Glad you and Nati had fun, and awesome views!

[@ChineduOpara]

This is great content. I hope you can visit the *manufacturing* sector of Colombia and share some insights!

[@adventuresofsam]

I absolutely love this video David. These kind are my favorite. I asked my girlfriend to buy me a finca. She said, ok, I'll get right on it 🤣

[@arte7sol]

Love love these types of get aways. And there is so many places to choose from. Mi tierra querida. Belleza natural.

[@antowalk]

the farmer seems like a vary contented man, a stress free life

[@JS-jh4cy]

Better than the damn city 🌆

[@JohnDoe-fz7hz]

Awesome! Really cool to have a little inside into this farmer's life. Would be great if you could make more such videos!!!👍👍👍

[@kasrakh86]

really enjoyed this video. You should make more videos like this

[@steve9901]

Hey David. Good video about business What I think would be good idea for you are rental videos with a specific agent. For example. Show 3 apartments per segment and of course the menu del día.every show (quick 2 mins with the price). Each segment 15 - 20 mins long. 1. Laureles. $300-$400 2. Laureles. $500-$600 3. Laureles. $800 -$1000 So 3 different segments for the different price points. Focus on short term rentals of 1 month stay. You can probably build a business like this working with a trusted real estate agent. Then as your channel grows people contact you and you line them up immediately so they don't have to go apt hunting. You can make some decent coin I think as ur channel grows You can also do same with Poblado and probably start with Poblado as that's more touristy and popular.

[@skydexx2940]

Bro! This video is amazing

[@polambi]

Hands down my favorite video of this channel. I love the countryside, but I'm stuck in NYC 😒😒

[@MarinkoNovak]

Wonderful, thank you David so much! 😊

[@joepaul4406]

The Banana trees earn the farmer 108.000.000.00 COP per year At todays exchange rate about $25,000.00 USD per year.

[@sebastianquintana3248]

No taxes too

[@geraldoyo1]

I love this! Especially now he relates the bananas to family. That's what you call in touch with nature. I have great fear of heights too! It gets worse with age for me!

[@Stezworld]

Farm life is the best. But farm work is a tough physical job. If you think your regular 9 to 5 job is tough, that is nothing compare to agriculture. If your willing to wake up at 3 in the morning and work til dusk, carry 100's of pounds up a hill, I will applaud you. I have a close friends who are farmers in the mountains of Santander and man those were the toughest people I met (also my family who were farmers before migrating to the U.S.) My GF told me city kids and today younger generations don't want to work in agriculture because is tough job, low pay and prefer the comfort of city living with better financial opportunities. Also my farmer friends in Santander tell me they have hard time finding people to help to harvest their crops, cattle raising and beekeeping for honey. Plus now with the lack/expensive of fertilizers is taking a bite of profits. Same thing with my family who grew up farm life in Dominican Republic.

[@cristianloquesea]

It is true, the work in the countryside is complex, in the university and in general people who know and have worked all their lives in the countryside say: if you want to be a good rancher you have to be a good farmer, the idea of living in the countryside is to be self-sustaining, we will see what can happen with the agrarian reform planned by the Petro government, there is a congressman who loves the Argentinean model, my God that would be the worst thing for the Colombian countryside and there are others who are even worse, they love the Venezuelan model.

[@Stezworld]

@@cristianloquesea Interesting, whats the Argentinean model of farming?

[@allansulia8179]

Great video, I remember my farm back in the Philippines it's help a lot to my family and the people in my community during pandemic...Desde Dubai con Amor

[@hustler4life911]

[@mwnemo]

Thanks for this video David.

[@robbienorton9522]

Wow that hill was so steep and Gustavo made it look so easy. Reminds me walking with my ex's dad at their finca in La Mesa, Cundinamarca and he was showing me all the banana trees etc on some steep hills. LOL. Love the video David!

[@familia9207]

Y que belleza de lugar ese campo bananero y cafetero del señor. Esa vida es increíblemente bonita

[@robbienorton9522]

Yeah, for me David I want to see more of this because I know there are Colombians that make money and more than the average person. It would be good to see more vidoes like this in my opinion.

[@miguelarmandogroot6592]

40,000 pesos X 900 locations = 36,000,000 pesos gross revenue every 4 months. [1 USD= ~4167 pesos]. 36,000,000 /4167 = $8,639 USD per month.

With all that beauty, why would one want to live in the city, country life is the best, the views, fresh air, the fruits to be grown, and their earning potential unbelievable, sign me up for the "finca life" great exposure to Columbia, great video

[@rona8663]

Great video David, very interesting. I'm actually looking at farm land in Nicaragua right now. Would like to have a small farm to grow all your basics including some cattle, pigs and chickens. Not to make money but to have a secure source of food in case everything goes to hell.

[@allykhan8594]

Lovely piece of farmland...is it safe living on a farm?

[@D33Lux]

Better than city living, clean air, clean water, good food, the peace and tranquility is like nothing else.

[@dnie25]

Great video. It reminds me of my grandfathers farm in Puerto Rico. He used to grow coffee and bannanas in his early years and later switched to cattle as he got older since the banana and coffee business was too physically exhausting and time consuming. The calculation of the money Sr. Gustavo makes there is 36,000,000 pesos cada 4 meses y en dolares seria aprox 36,000 dolares cada 4 meses. How many acres of land does Don Gustavo have there?

[@frenchtradingstyle9421]

No man 36 000 000 igual a 9000$ no 36 000$

[@dnie25]

@@frenchtradingstyle9421 9000 pesos × 4 months is 36,000 pesos.

[@JC.LC.]

Beautiful place.

[@cristianloquesea]

The work of the coffee growers in the coffee axis has always been complex, competing against Brazil years ago and now against Ethiopia, Vietnam, Panama, etc. The "advantage" for Brazil has always been its vast extensions in flat areas, planting coffee in mountains is very expensive, let's say that all that budget that the government has spent since the 70's to promote Colombian coffee was successful (until a few years ago).

[@Stezworld]

I visited rural areas of Brazil and your right. I notice that the agro industrial farms in Brazil are very similar to the North America (Im including Canada as well) style of farming with heavy machinery & equipment. Never expected to see Brazil to have developed countries style farming.

[@ej1692]

Brazil has the potential to produce really high quality stuff but the majority is ass imo. It's just industiral commercial grade burnt cheap coffee.
