Hey from France, I've had a dream of starting a farm ever since I was a little boy. And I'm not gonna lie, your story got me emotional. Great work and keep on farming !

Jan 7/Sat, 2023, at Cooper Young Farmers Market I found Rose Creek Farms produce. The veggie stand presentation is simply attractive and well presented. The arranged and packaged veggies got my attention. As I looked-over the veggies the micro-sunflower spouts (and other micro-sprouts) caught my eye. I read the placard about Rose Creek Farms describing their beginnings and I love their motto: "Love, gratitude, and contentment is true wealth!" My recent Rose Creek Farms twice purchases attest to the natural rich flavor-savory greens I love and thoroughly enjoy eating ... especially just chomping on the micro-sprouts as a go-to-snack anytime (watching tv, lol). In the future (hope in 2023) I will make an excursion to visit Rose Creek Farms (possible take a tour) (See if I can attend their CSA member "Fest In The Field") ... Shout out to Judah (vendor), whom I've met twice ... Just a awesome creation-human-person-this 3rd rock from the sun ...

No money, no experience -- but a lot of heart made it possible.

[@HEYWANDERER]

Such a well done video and beautiful capture of their story!

[@waywardcajunfarms2731]

It was a few years ago when I attended a Curtis Stone workshop at Ray's farm. That week I decided I will be a small market gardener. Seeing his family and community out there in Selmer was so beautiful and where he came from showed me I could do it too.

[@pvallarta1166]

What a beautiful inspiring story! I will definitely share that one.

[@westlakefarms]

Great job, and thanks for inspiring people to farm. Where are you located?

[@DNAofDoggie]

Love it

[@rigzinyangdol2889]

I am watching you from Ladakh situated in the himalayas in India. We here have a short season of growing due to cold temperatures but none the less we make the most of that time growing food.I have moved from the city Delhi and am in the process of developing my land n grow as much of my food as possible. ITS VERY TOUGH BUT will do my best

[@Tabsspot]

I love this!

[@stevelau7694]

Always been growing whatever I could and theres a noticeable difference in taste of home grown fruits and vegetables. First they will be much fresher, more nutrient dense with TLC and trustworthy since you can avoid using pesticides

[@Norbingel]

We just bought some land (just a few acres) and plan to make it a farm. One of the things I found looking around learning how is that nice looking fast harvester operated by a hand drill. I was shocked to see how expensive it was. I hope to get it eventually when the farm makes enough to justify it but something like that that someone just starting out could really use is unfortunately too expensive for someone starting out to afford.

[@mikkelsv4804]

Gorgeous!

[@OrendaDesignStudio]

😍😍😍

[@Reciprocity_Soils]

For those of us unable to afford all that plastic on the ground or dispose of it when it is unusable, what methods would you recommend for growing consistent crops?

[@nathanparkerson]

Dang I wish shoot something as beautiful as these shots…. This doc is excellently crafted 🤌

[@brettlochrie3391]

What is a CSA? Are they investors or just local community. BTW beautiful farm.

[@lynnodonnell4764]
