Beautiful aerial shots of a beautiful farm. Thanks so much for this tour. Eagerly looking forward to part deux. And major props to whomever is responsible for the amazing videography. And, JM, as someone who's followed you for years from afar via your book (loved it -- consumed it -- told so many others about it & you) and the few past videos with you and the few articles written with/about you, I'm very glad for your success. This farm, as I understand it, is very much your brainchild. I'm glad to hear that your original farm and this one are both surviving -- and I very much hope they're both very thriving. Best Regards.

[@fortcastlevgn2368]

Still wondering if animal and nature mixed by humans really is the best .. cause those animals MUST BE FED and its ususally not entirely from the farms while composts and forests composts instead allow wild animals to do a much less intensive work.. and most people are always too addicted to cadaver taste to admit they might be wrong on certain things... maybe if you had less of them id believe it.. as well as i saw documentaries on this and hunting wild animals made it extremely harder the guy had to get sheep dogs (the biggest little farm) to hold them and those are known to debalance the eco system around them do umentary 7 worlds one planet i think it was... ladt episode i think it was) stopping wolves in their feast while REAL OMNIVore dogs just stole their hunt And ususally they too clever for fences foxes wolves cayotee etc... how did you fix that issue? Really wonder if its hypocrite there or do you really think its more sustainable or is it just for selfish taste buds pleasure?

[@TdotTwiFic]

As many of us want to learn and practice this kind of lifestyle yet have limited to no access to funding, land and resources, i often hope that this could open more locations across canada. Not necessarily franchise or corporatize as i hope there is another model system, but just open more locations with these business models, ethics and methods. I don't speak french, or enough french to carry a conversation and have tried for years, this is my limiting quality to apply at FQT while i admire the push to keep french heritage alive in quebec. I can keep hoping.

[@this1ray]

I feel where your coming from. I hope to in the near future to generate the opportunity for 2-10 people to help me in my ½acre regenerative farm. Just built a modest yet modern rammed earth house, green house is next.... As a community we need more interconnectedness, diverse contribution in resource and agility....then this is a staple in many contexts of local economies. 🤞

i knew it was sunchokes in a fraction of a second lol. next season im going to try to start breeding with some varieties i found growing wild. love that plant.

[@eightosaurusspelunk1598]

The crop you asked if anyone knew is sunchokes. Here in japan that is my main crop! I dedicate about 5 acre per year to those and they sell at about 8 dollars per kilo! If spaced to about 40cm apart (in row) and in raised beds I get an average of 4.5-5 kg per plant and harvest around 400kg per day from October until April.

[@TheMarketGardeners]

WOW! that's awesome, thank you so much for sharing 😊 💪

@@jeanmartinfortierprivate There aren't many organic farms here, unfortunately. Our farm is organic and I am the only non-Japanese farmer in the region as far as we know.

Hey, JM, are you still doing compost tea, and what's your take on its viability on a commercial market garden? (note: not expecting an answer here, just hoping you'll cover this in a future video...or book, course, whatever).

I think that's Jerusalem Artichokes?

Jerusalem artichoke of course

[@RickLarsonPermacultureDesigner]

In my view permaculture is mostly about wilding the landscape. You know, in the manual there is a chapter on trees. But even Mollison compromised with other's ideas post manual. Good luck otherwise in trying to keep this particular civilization in food, which is impossible.

[@saulibus1]

Interesting view but permaculture is more than just wilding the landscape

[@RickLarsonPermacultureDesigner]

@@saulibus1 Allowing natural succession is the most important aspect only because humans have and continue to alter the landscape cutting burning and poisoning the landscape. Intentional wilding, as you put it, is close enough to there is nothing happening I can type is not happening. Biointensive growing is for small groups to keep humans from cutting the wild areas down, not buying food but growing food, which is not suppose to be for sale. End the sale of food and there will be such a scramble! Permaculture A Designers' Manual is about taking care of ourselves along with wilding - plant trees - in short. Look it up.

[@meme7591]

Do you think that the school systems would benefit by hiring people in using land like this to feed the school systems. As well as teach students who are interested in doing this. They could do it like a trade school. As well as have a summer camp for teenagers to do this.

[@TheMarketGardeners]

Farm To School programs are certainly on the rise and we think that's awesome! They take a lot of work to implement and get going but I think we will continue to see more and more schools and farms connecting and making programs like this happen.

[@michaspringphul]

Very intersting project. What I don't get, if they aim for a greener production, why they use so much plastic foil? Is this foil on the outside beds used once or reused for many years?

[@TheMarketGardeners]

This is where the balance between market gardening and permaculture comes in, and the "not perfect" aspects of it. Using 0 plastic would be amazing, but we also need a farm where we can pay all of our employees well for their work, so we are simply doing the best we can to find that balance, and for now, this is where we are at! And we reuse as much as possible! Thanks for the comment Micha 🙂

[@michaspringphul]

@@TheMarketGardeners Thank you for the detailed answer. Would black sisal or linen sheet do the trick? Would that be possible or is that too expensive or not working in general?

Why is "work really hard" is considered something good? This so American. Why not "having a good time", "feeling home", "find their passion"...

[@TheMarketGardeners]

Sounds like a miscommunication! We do not believe that working hard just for the sake of it is a good thing, but we do believe that successful market gardening requires hard work and very good planning and self-discipline. For this reason, we want our workers to experience what it takes to do high quality and high yield market gardening. This way they will know what it will takes to start their own project, and whether or not it is actually something they want to do! Make sense?

[@abdebee3221]

@@TheMarketGardeners hello and thank you for trying to bring more sense into the matter - I can see your best intentions here. My criticism is more systemic - for me, a healthy modern life means that we spend a lot of free time with family an friends and enjoy cultural activities. Unfortunately, even In community supported agriculture, people work 12 hours and more to manage their farms. This doesn't seem like a solution to me. People should live a long and healthy life AND work passionately on what they love to do - high yields and profitability may be a nice side effect. I know that this is necessary today, but it's not a nice vision for the future.

[@canadiangemstones7636]

@@abdebee3221 Perhaps you could visit the farm, and explain how they can make a good living by only working 3 hours a day? What’s your secret?

[@abdebee3221]

@@canadiangemstones7636 I never said this - objection: speculation.. I say: with all our knowledge and technology, we meant to ease our lives. But all we aim at is increasing our productivity. So in the end, we all work the same or even harder, we don't have time for family and friends or extended holidays, we have no time to prepare quality food. So what is the real profit in the end?
