Successfully Growing Food in a Desert | PARAGRAPHIC

[@tomclydecostamero9959]

PARAGRAPIC is so underrated. I wish more people will give attention to this channel, its very informative and creative. The quality is like you are watching in Netflix.

[@audibleseekz]

A common thread in many PARAGRAPHIC segments: This isn't about me. It's for the ones who come after. It's about the future. Man, I love this sentiment. And the people you've found to highlight. Anything worth doing, it's got to be bigger than just us.

[@dertythegrower]

Awesome fields. So clean. Sweet farm. Respect to the regenerative farmers.

[@atmentod]

Better than netflix these paragaphic vids are I say.

[@EPiiiC69WiiiN]

Absolutely love this channel! Definitely deserves more viewers!

[@togetherwegrow8340]

Welcome to the family guys!

[@SolidGoldShows]

Great story 👏 Thank you for sharing ✌ 🙏 😀

[@kenjohnson5498]

I chuckled when you put the goat back in the pen and all the others walked up like to ask how was the grass on the other side of the fence lol

[@RumiSleem]

Some of the best vegetables I’ve ever tried were from that farm. I need to go back soon!

[@DanielPetukhin]

Once again, Paragraphic, you spread love :)

[@kerlyn3582]

Good people - wholesome people ... an example

[@PurpleComrad]

Quality of these videos are so good...Keep it coming PARAGRAPHIC

Arizona needs to preserve farm land. I live in the area Blue Sky's is in. Less than 30 years ago, almost all the land west of Phoenix was producing food products. Now it's mostly gone. Water rights are being bought by cities for future needs and by nations in the Arabian gulf area to grow alfalfa, which is shipped back to them. So much water is being pumped from the aquifer near the Colorado River that there is measurable subsistance of the land.

I love documentary like this veey educational for me as i live in Phx. I might of lots of food from this farm and never look at where it cane from( periodically). I love Organic food and meat. Awesome video!

[@Bubbamccomb]

Another banger, never disappoints :D

[@briandiaz2690]

Amazing!!!!! 🙏🏼 Thanks for sharing

[@serenityx8927]

🇩🇰🇹🇹EPIC! awesome video. Epic Survival👌

[@johnowens5342]

Great life you have made for yourselves there. Congratulations I can think of no better use of a limited water source than high quality produce.

[@afterhrs4805]

This looks like Arizona 🏜

[@CityWideGardens]

Awesome stuff and in the desert… anything can be done and you all are the proof. Be happy nobody wanted that land because it was meant for you!!

[@normanmusimwa2058]

That field is so clean , l can "eat of it". Kikikiki

[@COOPERSCICHILDS]

Awesome video

[@Grzywa1988]

Amazing channel. Definetly worth spending time on it. Love all series about permaculture. And also love, just dive into the intro song. Is it specialy composed? Or anyone know the track? Would rewind it all the time. Please help get it. Sending full positive energy to the channel.

[@PARAGRAPHIC]

Yeah we made it custom for our videos. If you search Paragraphic on Spotify you can find it, it’s called Momentum open.spotify.com/track/180PWwQPhK5cx7bXVIf8LD?si=zX8sbD-9TP2qmXmia0Df9Q

[@Grzywa1988]

Absolutely astonishing 🥰 many thanks so can now dive more into permaculture in my own garden with such great upbeats 😄

[@johnroydelacruz1433]

[@serajacob8278]

Satisfaction 😊

[@taowhooale]

You could pass it my way anytime 🙏🏻☀️

[@zandiviljoen146]

Gavin the goose looks like a character you'd see in a cartoon😂😂😂

[@collinolguin5772]

Could I come get houses for a season I’d really appreciate the opportunity to learn about your growing process and see what it takes to have a successful large scale garden

[@KOKO-uu7yd]

I wonder about growing high water need produce (strawberries and carrots etc) in a, um, desert? Is this "organic" for the benefit of people ONLY, or is there an equal concern for the land and natural ecology? I respect much of what I've learned you do, but, I am concerned about water usage? All that being said, I freely admit I know little to nothing, and absolutely nothing first hand, about managing desert ecosystems. So, I'm genuinely curious about your water management, and the balance with land realities and needs, and perhaps with the particular desert area you are in? From what I've seen, you are likely to be the most aware and conscientious about this challenge. I'm genuinely curious what methods and management you employ, and what YOUR thoughts are? You are on the front lines in ways I am not, after all. I get the sensationalism and science, but not practical experience or application. 🙃 Thanks 👍

[@michaela.754]

Luckily capitalism is part of this whole thing. If they were wasting water it wouldn't be profitable. So we can assume they arent wasting water in regards to high water need produce.

[@MrOrangeTurd]

In short: when you work on your soil (organically), it'll retain moisture much better. This and mulch help reduce water usage.

[@jgerrets7862]

Very good video's

[@charlesnelson838]

How can I get in touch with them to come work there on the farm I'm here in my country unemployed for three years just hustling to provide for my family.

[@achille295]

7:10 when you can scratch your own back :D

[@marcocardamone8347]

Why you gotta upload a trailer my boy just upload the video

[@weseiseman5602]

If you Spray them, does that affect ist "Organic" status???

[@jptualla85]

Shooting only 20 mins away from me!

[@kellyrichards1354]

Love that you donate milk and want to provide food for schools, institutions, veterans, neighbors, friends, etc. Food is medicine, of course, affecting our physical and mental health. Amazes me that highly educated people willingly spend money to manufacture man made medicines while giving very little attention to nutrition. So very sad that highly trained people spend money for various mental health programs and give little or no attention to food to support healthier brains. Seems the focus is money, creating jobs, not health and healing. Thanks for all you do.

[@freebie808]

Cool

[@Dineshstylist]

🔥👌🏽💯

[@ashimmaprocom104]

I want to serve my energy to your farm I am doing farming small commercial at Bangladesh!

[@xŁ17-e7x]

That goose looks like that because it’s probably eating the goat food all the time

[@DavidFlores]

Strawberries grown outside in the arizona desert 🤯

[@celiacoloma-rodriguez1211]

if i raise the animals i cant kill and eat them afterwards

[@MistressOP]

I know that's how most farmers in cali and southwest/west farm but god. I just want to run out there and mulch. So DANG BADLY.

[@MistressOP]

ps. I know it's "green" waste but it's actually wasteful farming. there's a lot of good eating being thrown on the ground that could go to slop buckets, or just people. We gotta get out of the habit of this cali farming depentant on water rights when we are always in drought. almost always. Start mulching up this land or picking a better crop that matches.

[@dianeibsen5994]

No farms..farm land. No food. Period. I WISH I could grow produce at my apartment..on my deck. sadly so much ignorance regarding polluting our neighborhoods😞 people are so unaware of the crap that's spewing out of their dryer vents almost constantly. Scented, lab-made made detergents, dryer sheets, Tide etc.🤢 People breathing this crap in.. children, pets, and near by wildlife. No way would I grow produce with all that crap landing on my food🤢😝 Please wake up🙏🌱🌎 Bless your beautiful hearts and god bless organic farmer💝🌎🌄🙏🍋🥦🌱🥗🍋🥬✨🕊️

[@jamesborden9343]

Farms in desert? Lake's drying up rivers down to a trickle I love gardens and farming but we really need to do better with our resources thanks

[@oscarcaballero8692]

This is what happens when rich housing developers build houses on prime farm land. And farmers need to move farther away to be able to afford to farm.

[@johnowens5342]

Our resources? We? Not yours, not ours, his just his land and his water. He probably move out in the middle of a desert to get away from people that say things like you just said. Leave the man alone. Manage your resources better.

[@majrumq5268]

He has a jacket and a beanie that is not the desert

[@johnowens5342]

You have never been in a desert at night or early morning...

[@burtnation1357]

[@isabellouise8164]

It may be organic, but it's not sustainable to pump all that water out of the underground aquifers and thus slowly deplete them. It's mainly just another business that is externalising the cost of fixing the damages it creates, while raking in the profits.

[@johnowens5342]

The aquifer started out empty. Let's say the water is never used, never ever. What is the benefit? Name one thing that is better on earth. Will the desert improve? Will wild life improve. Will humanity live better. You either get the point or you don't. By the way the sun is not sustainable but we are sure enjoying it while it is around.

[@isabellouise8164]

@@johnowens5342 Theres nothing wrong with using the water in itself, john, but there is a huge difference between on the one hand using it up within a few decades for short term profits and then leaving a wasteland behind and on the other hand taking measures to replenish the aquifers while we draw from them, thus making the landscape usable for hundreds of years, even improving it. Shading the ground, stopping erosion with rainwater barriers, collecting the rainwater (It does rain in the desert, not often, not much, but there is some and there is also unusual rain events sometimes that one can and has to prepare for and in order to store the water and allow it to percolate into the ground where it replenishes the aquifer, by stopping the water from just running off into gullies, rivers and the sea), establishing native vegetation, even using water from the same aquifers to establish strong drought resistant native tree and plant species (wich don't need to be watered once they are established). All this means work and money has to be diverted for long term benefit, stuff that doesn't pay off in the short term. And that's the kind of long term thinking that signifies sustainability and wich is not really showing in this video. You either get the point, or you don't.

[@MistressOP]

@@johnowens5342 the water is used. it's by trees and deep reaching native grasses. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yike man.

[@benabela1581]

Unsustainable and the content maker knows it. Taking water from the ground at a rate so much faster than its put back.

[@djh-vevo8726]

i really love farming and every thing about nature , i have 10 years experience in organic farming and i'd love to work with you like volunteer please contact me for more details
