We went back to Maine to see our mentor & favorite farmer friend, Jim Kovaleski! We decided that we needed to grab a few more shots for our upcoming online course & felt that you would really enjoy getting the chance to see what Jim is up to just one last time before he makes his way back down towards us in Florida for his winter market season.

Jim has been a pivotal role model of ours since 2011, not long after we first began to grow food. We can truly say that he was a big catalyst for change in our lives & we owe the foundation of our success to Jim's influence. Now it is your turn to spend a week with Jim, at your own pleasure.

While a considerable amount of content will be offered to everyone, we are working to create an epic video course that is geared towards those who are looking for a more in-depth focus. The foundations of the content are beneficial for everyone, regardless of climate, but just to be transparent - we will also be offering an extended version for our fellow Florida residents, once Jim travels back down in October.
We have condensed down countless hours of footage to create an 8-hour course covering signature concepts such as:
Grass-Fed Vegetables
Apples, Blueberries, Raspberries & Many More Cold Climate Fruits
The Art of the Scythe: Everything You Need to Know
Annual & Perennial Polycultures
Planting Grids for Esthetics + Intensive Planting
Tangible Planning & Site Analysis
When Permaculture Doesn't Always Work: Ethics Over Technique
Land Connections & Observation
Hugelkultur vs. Hugeleski?
Seeds & Starts: Suggested Varieties
Soil Blocks 101: Step-by-Step, Unique Ingredients, Planting Instructions & More Tips
Crop Circle Squash & Other Unique Methods for Growing Potatoes, Melons, Garlic & Onions
Books & Resources
Specialty Equipment & Tools That Work Forever
Harvesting & Market Preparation
Connecting to the Community & The Land
Journal & Record Keeping
Farmers' Market Display Tips & Packaging Concepts
www.thegrassfedmarketgarden.com
____________________________________________________________________
Each year in late spring, Jim travels up to a little town just outside Eastport, Maine, to grow the most delicious, clean & vibrant food you can find. Then in early fall, he packs up & heads down to Florida to repeat the same plan.
Jim does not follow rules, He creates his own evolving adaptations; a mixture of pure refined classic agriculture (the scythe), techniques passed along by elder growers, elements from books that have proven their worth & the intrensic download from living with the land & slowing down enough to read it's own suggestions.

Thank you so much for going in and doing a detailed video of Jim's wonderful garden. You're doing a wonderful job and the details of this are just astounding. I live in a very dry climate less than 14 inches of rain a year, this system seems to be remarkable from what I can see and it's something that I would like to follow more of. I was fortunate enough to view his remarkable gardening techniques twice on Justin Rhodes videos and saw where this Garden started when he first got up from Florida. Now you following along later on in the season has really impressed me with his gardening skills. I really enjoy watching this gentleman Garden. I have truly enjoyed your daily videos. You show me more fruit than I even knew existed and made me a little bit jealous that I can't taste the fruit of your labors. Every time you are eating I find myself wanting to drive from Kansas down to Florida and show up in your driveway just to taste some of it. Keep up the good work and I'll be excited to see what you do with this as a I think practical Gardening Guide that all of us could use. Thanks again for all the work you're doing all these videos and sharing them with us.

formally known as a scythe, but you have the right tool & the right ideas in mind. We're hoping to do a Q & A as the project starts to wrap up. Have to mention that our boots were damp walking through the beds each morning we were there. My thought is that it's not only rain water, but evaporation/condensation being held under the grass also.

Loved One Straw Revolution. Retired a year ago. Put 85 loads of free mulch on my land in last 3 months. Fruit trees are loving it.

I have a question. What about the snow? There must be snow in that area in winter. Does snow help? To maintain water in the land?

If I cut backyard lawn short, I could use square foot gardening template to plant garlic bulbs as long as I cordon off garden rows? I do not have to rip out all of the sod or till the grass? Would this really work? I live in coastal South Carolina, and you dig one to two feet and you hit water.

Really like the music! Maybe Neil Young? Would it be a mistake to mulch with field hay and all the seed that comes with it or would a solution be to just keep mulching on top of the hay?

Better to cut your hay before it does seeds. When you buy hay bales its harder to be sure of it doh...

Melvina Roundy I believe Jim uses a combination of both, the trick is harvesting before the grass goes to seed.

Tina Hoerchler - we visited Jim in Robinson, Maine for this Video series & his season there is nearly ending now, as of October. Next week, he will be traveling down to New Port Richey, FL to grow food for the winter season. The video description might explain a little more for you or the webpage link. The pick of the garden is a great idea, right?
