Purple Pear Biodynamic Permaculture Farm Tour

[@ajourneyonearth]

These tours/interviews/short films give me so much hope and enthusiasm for the future, to grow food in a healthy way integrated with nature myself, and to trust that many are feeling the same !

[@angelikal4564]

This makes my heart flutter. Beautiful truths spoken here. Thank you for providing content that makes you hopeful in a time of so much grief, destruction and desperation.

[@happenfilms]

Thanks Angelika! That's lovely to hear.

[@LibbyOnTheLabel.]

I love the structure the mandalas give the garden! It's not such a "messy" permaculture design and a great way to rotate chickens and make them work for you. Love love love it.

[@jennifern8765]

Nicely made. Linda Woodrow wrote a great book on the mandala system with chicken domes in 1995??? called "The Permaculture Home Garden". Hers was more complex/integrated than the one shown here but essentially the same She included fruit trees between the circular bed, timed to leave waste fruit behind as the chicken tractor approached; perennials around the outside, and spots for compost heaps etc. Also pond in the middle as Purple Pear has.

[@RafsKitchenGardenChannel]

Really good point about the connection with clients once people understand how you produce food this is way better than the organic certificate. Also great idea with the garden beds shaped in circles with chicken tractor the same size, never seen this one before ;)

[@purplepearfarm1250]

As described by Linda Woodrow in her book "Permaculture Home Garden" Well worth a read.

[@tahliel]

What a fabulous tour! Thank you. We take our children to the playgroup at purple pear farm, and it's just magical.

[@C.Hawkshaw]

100th anniversary of Rudy Steiner’s lectures on agriculture is fast upon us!

[@kolapyellow7631]

Great farm. Great use of chickens to weed the beds. Like that idea.

[@hhwippedcream]

Thank you for sharing! Beautiful vision.

[@marinagarciapiza2468]

Lovely video Jordan!! Its been lovely to see Mark talk and show around the mandalas, brings me back good memories : ) Can't wait to see the entire film soon x x xx Marina

[@jalepezo]

MOREGANIC: important work of knowledge and love from the farmer to nature

[@lionessofariel]

Been there. Great place, great people. :) Thanks for spreading the word.

[@theresaaperehama3486]

Another great video thanks. This is the only sustainable way for the future. Love it!

[@naturalinsomniaandtinnitus4448]

I am enjoying your style of film making, it is very easy to watch. Well done to all involved. Johnnie

[@thomasreto2997]

Love it...so simple but so practical and ......ethical🐌🦆🍄🥜🐝🤙

[@edwardbearjames2916]

Looks wonderful with nature and wholesome. This is smart and needed by us all

[@LALisaMarie1]

Very Inspiring..Great Job making this world the way it should be...

[@VTECsqznN2O]

I knew you were in Australia when you said you had blue tongues. How fabulous! We keep them as pets in the US. As far as gardening goes I use box turtles to control snails. I love the conduit idea for a light tractor. Thats genius. Great video thanks for posting it

[@vancamerawoman7399]

Fantastic...so sensible. Nice work Jordon.

[@suemar63]

I just loved this video. What great ideas!

[@elenacerasela]

Another excellent documentary. Than you.

[@goodancestors]

Beautiful video, thanks for sharing it. It's always good to see well designed permaculture farms.

[@gracacosta2742]

I am now engaged in this kind of organic-permaculture-bio dynamics concept, thanks to the help of a friend and my dear husband. We are growing some vegetables . However we do not have animals, because our garden is small.

[@itsmeagain7246]

moreganic, love it!

[@Cenepk101]

Brilliant!!!!!!!!!

[@phoenixhuxleymonro]

Market Gardening, fertilizing with animals, being ethical, being "lazy"! I love it.

[@thezenfarmer]

So wonderful. Much gratitude. 💖💖💖

[@wendyrowland7787]

Well done for being able to scrap organic certification, the cost and the associated paper work is a burden lifted.

[@tonyaltobello6885]

My family's egg farm is organic 100% but we don't get it certified as were just a small business with 1000 chickens or so. It's too expensive for us to pay and anyone can come to our farm and see for themselves its organic!

[@Bernie5172]

what a wonderful idea/plan

[@coyotedick]

Wow, great example to follow

[@bradenrodriguez5183]

2 things.. 1. So good to see what Patrick Stewart is doing these days. 2. I see Jordan is taking the permaculture approach to his hair too.

[@bradenrodriguez5183]

@K.D.P. Ross I don't know what you're on about kid?!

[@MrVirkMedia]

thanks for sharing, amazing human being

[@deborahgate965]

[@Echoday2day]

Good video thank you, very inspiring

[@lauritseriksen4140]

I like the this production. Would have been nice if you had been using the window light as your key light.

[@nithih]

I loved it

[@MissManuever]

so much love

[@smokeydabeecharlescoleman8365]

Nice system, great video.

[@inspired1114]

This is beautiful, thank you, this year is our first to have a go at biodynamic gardening, bought the preparations online 🤗 one question re the hens here- is it ethical keeping them fenced up like that? X many thanks

[@rachelelizabeth358]

This is so cool

[@jameskniskern2261]

I so want to "steal" the term *moreganic*! It is a fantastic term!

[@bernadetteconnolly512]

Impressive

[@eyesopenwideawake7057]

Wonderful! :-)

[@2Angelemerald2]

this is brilliant

[@thislife6289]

Let's hope that the world wakes up, especially during this pandemic. We have the time to think about life, make the corrections and choose a simpler way of life, where growing healthy food and sharing can change the world quite easily, for the better...

[@neofytten]

Love ❤️

[@TrollDragomir]

1:51 - ma favourite quote ever :D

[@patrickoleary9591]

Hi there, Thankyou for sharing these insights into how to grow food and care for the environment,just wondering if you could share what film equipment (camera, sound, editing platform) you use and stand by to make your creativity so wonderful. Cheers, Patrick

[@TheNewMediaoftheDawn]

Cool concept with the chicken rotation…

[@alfisahri5662]

Did you encounter any predator of your chicken in this garden? With the frog habitat around the pond, did there any snakes come in? If yes, how do you manage it?

[@Nastyjoie1]

Thanks to the chicken that saved the garden 🐣🐥🐔🐓

[@Allemo005]

love it

[@tamikafraser9843]

Grest video

[@TheSmallestLight]

God bless your Golden soul. I hope God will make me Half the man you are.

[@ThisPartIsAndrew]

Chicken tractor for the win!

[@balazstivadar8631]

Related to the chicken tractor or coop: once the cage is closed why is the electrical net important?

[@2Angelemerald2]

Balázs Tivadar rats like to bite the fence

[@chulangaaverilhettiarachch3267]

To the person reading this: Even though I don’t know you, I wish you the best of what life has to offer ❤

[@mtarves24]

does anyone have any link to permaculture in cold climates?? We are in hardiness zone 6.

[@ADyingFaith]

As a vegan I hope we can one day eliminate the use of animals altogether. But this kind of farming is so much closer to being ethical when it at least comes to animal welfare. I wish we could have smaller scale farming using such practises all over the globe. This would be a step in the right direction, both for human and animal rights.

[@fredsilvers1427]

Mmmm chicken. 🐔 🍴 🍳🍗

[@henkjanssen1252]

I didn't know Patrick Stewart was a permaculture farmer!

[@11219tt]

what type of climate does he live in?

[@megsmith4926]

Australian temperate.

[@johnkidwell370]

Morganic: mo(-re than or-)ganic. due to ethical and humane treatment will someone please add this to wikipedia and credit this brilliant man?

[@steviedee4491]

great stuff. Younger people in particular are disillusioned by the bullshit system and are looking for alternatives. In any case, it is unsustainable.

[@jacobmartins4698]

If you don't know the answer then don't worry but do you know the breeds of pigs in the video

[@pimpem6051]

Español plis

[@brandonburrell8517]

Pretty pony

[@yodaslifecoach4917]

"People are tired of being fodder for the system". (O_O) Wow! That's what I think when I hear the words consumer/ employee/ tax payer etc...

[@joansmith3492]

Please say you let the bed rest for a time after the chickens have worked it, to allow the soil to neutralize any possible pathogens present in the fresh chicken manure! Chipotle has learned the hard way that there are wrong ways to organically farm.

[@mauxuwon6252]

+Joan Smith I was to ask the same! it is 1year right? when using animal manure

[@purplepearfarm1250]

It is six months before the chickens return to a bed.

[@khanhbuivan5536]

He look like water white from Breaking Bad

[@leonbaileyyy911]

Walter white what are you doing here

[@lukepac371]

Dude its time for a haircut!!!!

[@leeohmoon231]

chickens have far to little space, disappointed :( NOT FREe RANGE!!!!

[@cathyphegley7414]

Lizard food yay!

[@Azihayya]

I hope the animals aren't killed and eaten.

[@Azihayya]

They're conscious beings, with brains, emotions, feelings and experiences that are not dissimilar from a human being. Talent, knowledge and prestige do not make a life valuable- every living being values their life more than anything. It reasons that if we sincerely value our lives then we will value the lives of others; morality derives from the mind and therefor morality concerns the mind. Humans have developed the agriculture of plants for thousands of years which has been the most significant contributor to our survival and health. Enslaving, raping and killing animals is never moral, and when there is no necessity for doing it then it is an act of utmost cruelty.

[@Azihayya]

The research included in the Cambridge Declaration of Consciousness proves that animals possess the same conscious-enabling substrates and emotional faculties as human beings. Even if the science wasn't there it's rather obvious- I'm sure that a lot of things could be said to try to make human beings seem like clockwork machines, but this simply isn't true. Humans also enslaved, raped, killed, have stolen from and waged wars against one another. We all have to take responsibility for ourselves and not use other individuals as excuses for our immorality. Animal products were not the most significant contributors to the development of our brains- the most significant contributor to the overall level of energy and brain development of human beings was starchy foods. Our brains use glucose as fuel, which is derived most efficiently from carbohydrates. The most significant role that animal products had in the human diet was providing a food source that otherwise did not exist during certain periods of time in certain places. You're willing to inflict your worst nightmares onto other beings that experience life in fundamentally the same way that you do only for the sake of vanity.

[@purplepearfarm1250]

Do not worry Azihayya - no flesh consumed on Purple Pear Farm or animals raised for consumption.

[@Soapiesaur]

Great video, except you really shouldn't be taking the breast milk and the eggs of the animals. Using animals for food (not their flesh necessarily) is not a very 'nature thing' to do. Don't take what is not yours.
