TOUR [Pete Kanaris] Rare Food Forest / Syntropic Agroforestry in FLORIDA

[@GrowsTheCoastSD]

Great message to localize food/fruit. I live in southern California and I got so sick of having to buy avocados from Mexico that half the time are rotten, so I planted four varieties to have them almost year round.

[@tannerfarmstead]

I got to walk his food forest with the market gardener he had there a couple years back. We were eating loquats off the trees and all kinds of other stuff when we toured it. It was an absolutely magical place.

[@marlenemaxon7654]

Byron I wanted to say thank you for taking the time to make your videos. Glad you went to Pete’s. I’ve been watching and learning from him for 7 years since moving to Florida.

[@dallastehunaPT]

This is the best collab bro. Pete was one of the first ever food forest gurus I ever followed. Hope he comes to New Zealand!

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

One day! 👊

[@byrongrows]

💯

[@Valleyyetti]

This is exactly the type of video I've been looking for for so long

[@byrongrows]

Stoked to hear it 👊

[@leonshomegrown]

Fantastic video. I’ve been watching both your channels for years. 😊😊😊

[@syntropicsolutions4244]

Great video guys. It was great to have Pete at our workshop in Costa Rica and applying the knowledge planting his first Syntropic System, he is a legend!!!! Keep the good work guys

[@Homesteading247]

Oh my goodness!!! 2 of my favorite shows in one spot. God is great

[@hoxiefam6731]

Thats exciting research with the citrus and oak leaves! So you dont have to put it under the tree just bring the leaves to the tree? I do that already with people's leaves they put out by the road every februray. I have not planted citrus due to the greening so maybe I will try it!

[@TheLurcha]

Awesome video, been watching Pete’s for a few years now and learnt a lot from them. I planted my yellow jaboticaba in mostly shade after seeing his in one of his videos, flowering for its second year so hopefully fruits soon!

[@chaunceymillard2963]

Pete and Byron! Syntropic KZbin legends unite! 😁

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

🙌🙌🙌

[@Frootfarms]

Great video! Keep up the great work :) Nothing quite like growing your own food and inspiring others to do the same.

[@matthiasbrunger1179]

I've following Pete's channel even before yours. Great to see you together! If you look into Sepp Holzer's or Zachary Weiss' teachings about waterworks you might buffer out those 10 nights that are too cold for mangos and coconut trees with some well done waterworks. Sepp Holzer's been growing things on his former Krameterhof way out of his climate zone because of his waterworks...

[@Howsthat-xq3sn]

Great video I always watch Pete’s channel from over here in Australia 🇦🇺 given I am growing a backyard food forest around fence lines in Melbourne have a lot of the fruit that was in this this video but waiting for them to fruit before calling it a success. I’m Not in the best climate of places in Australia to grow Tropical Fruit but I love the Challenge of growing it and seeing what I can grow small spaces of a food forest. Queensland is the best place in Australia to grow Tropicals well but many in Melbourne are growing Sub - Tropical well in Melbourne even with the challenges it brings. Real life Fruitopia Channel is a good KZbin channel that shows what can be done in Melbourne. Now that I have found your Channel I will subscribe.

[@humanbeingnotahumandoing1]

Amazing and very inspirational video! ❤️

[@OffGridHawaii]

Great video! Pete was definitely one of the first people I started watching as we were starting our systems. Love the tour videos, you should be getting way more views! If you ever come to Hawaii you are welcome to our place for a tour ☺️

[@sofloprepper6710]

This video is amazing i will watch any video with Pete in it cause every time i learn something, my question is can we have another version of this video that is not so edited down, longer form if this video was 2 hours long i would watch all of it, im gonna watch this one atleast 3 times.

[@byrongrows]

Glad you enjoyed it! There’s an uncut version of this video (and tons of other un-published Food Forest tours through Costa Rica, Florida etc) in the Food Forest Fellowship. We’ve also got live-calls every other day and a growing library of courses 🤘 www.skool.com/food-forest-fellowship

[@themangovista]

Great video👍 His nursery is awesome!They have a large selection of fruit trees. I’m glad I live down the street.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

We appreciate the support 🙌

[@LeChristEstRoi]

I admire Pete! Great businessman with values and ethics! Love this guy!

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

❤🙌👊

[@Zokman-x2n]

Pete does a great job and is very knowledgeable on growing. Great selection of plants and trees at his new nursery. Worth anyone interested in growing in Florida to visit. Rick from Englewood

[@ajcsonsforge6370]

8:30 we're just hitting our first year with trees in the ground close to 1/8 of an acre rught now with over 30 different fruit trees. Loving every minute.

[@davidjslack]

Great video. Pete has been an inspiration with his applied passion.

[@scotto6314]

Pete’s awesome 😎

[@ajcsonsforge6370]

17:46 I'd love to start finding more verities of avocado for my zone

[@scottburgle2169]

What zone)

[@TheVigilantStewards]

Big fan of Pete and Green Dreams

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

👊

[@richardr5878]

Very interested in Jaboticaba. When I heard mid 20s, I’m thinking this could grow in PNW 8B? I have citrus in containers as well as bananas I’m working to get to fruit. Need to do more research, but this may be my next tree in the food forest collection!

[@wr3add]

I heart food foreststst!!!!

[@danielnaberhaus5337]

I heard there may be a cold hardy mango species from china that can possibly fruit in temperate areas like florida

[@jchandler3336]

Super cool! You’re right around the corner from me as I’m in Weeki Wachee. Can’t wait to see your visit with Pete and his Green Dreams food forest.

[@ajcsonsforge6370]

I'm in Crystal River

[@ticoaran]

Welcome to Florida, Greetings from Miami

[@4evermetalhead79]

Cool to see for once someone else holding the camera, and Pete being on stage. 😜

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

It is weird 😂

[@caz4523]

Are the cattleman growing Mexican Sunflower for fodder? Did I hear that right?

[@Braddy_Daddy]

Hyped for this collab!

[@Farmer10000]

Wow tôi đang trồng vườn rừng ngoài tự nhiên rất tuyệt vời❤❤

[@goco100]

Splendid

[@theallergictable]

Can you share more about the rancher Pete mentions in the last part of the video?

[@2fluent]

Fantastic video 🎉

[@HomesteadChris]

Come to Canada man! We've got rows haha

[@Nihlink]

Nispero is loquat in Spain Spanish. Wonder if they use it differently in costa rica.

[@webbedtoes2]

LEGENDS. 🙏🏻

[@geriannroth449]

Can the scarlet beauty plum grow entirely in the Tropics, or do they require chill hours?

[@keylanoslokj1806]

Can you make a list with the fruit that appeared on this video in a chronological order?

[@geriannroth449]

So which ones bear the quickest from seed?

[@Prinzmushrooms]

Jealous bro all those tasty fruits, hope you're shelving seeds for the trip home 😂

[@mena2138]

what a video ahhahahah, so gooooood

[@MarviRafaelMontecillo]

Hi @byron. Does @pete still use bcs tractor sickle bar or did he changed his mind about the efficiency of the machine

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

We transitioned to vegetable production in the rows. This year we’re just cover cropping with legumes.

[@redhotsizzle2121]

Good shit!

[@jeffjuracka7428]

He talked a lot about the courses he took - where did he go? I’m curious and eager to get into this space but I’m only finding things heavily marketed that don’t seem very genuine. Appreciate this and all your videos, learning so much!

[@byrongrows]

If you’re interested in getting into this space I’d genuinely recommend giving the Food ForestFellowship a try for a month. Others have found it supremely valuable, connecting with other practitioners and learning on all the live calls & lessons

[@syntropicsolutions4244]

Pete learned with Thiago Barbosa in Costa Rica and he will be teaching in Florida in October 2024, look for details at @syntropicsolutions

[@doesnotexist6524]

The hardest part is simply FINDING the varieties to buy. There are almost no nurseries anywhere in Tampa Bay selling any of these varieties.

[@EffectivImmediately]

Anyone know where in Florida this is?

[@keencole]

Im zone 9b too which gives me some hope. But I'm in Northern California in the Sierra Nevada foothills where we get some frosts and the area is much drier than central Florida. Ive never got my Papaya or Moringa seedlings to last the winter but I did keep my Cherimoya and Starfruit seedlings alive. Anyone have any suggestions other than move?

[@4evermetalhead79]

Firstly i have to say i never did this as my climate is very different and my level into the space is pretty low, its a suggestion based on things i read etc. secondly i will assume the plants are outdoors and immovable (already planted in the ground). Try creating a tiny greenhouse for those plants. Get creative and do what you must, but don’t forget to allow some air circulation to avoid unwanted fungus growth based on your climate and general weather conditions etc. If this is something you can walk into for example, consider using some sort of container full of water to help with balancing out the temperature. Water is a thermal battery in such case to allow for a bit warmer nights or cloudy days. Moving isn’t always an option. I’d love to have less than easy 45c heavily humid, dry desert like summers. But moving is not an easy task.

[@CITYDAGR8]

Soon as get some land imma y’all help.

[@AIuminum]

Not trying to sound jealous or envious. But what is the best strategic way to acquire land for someone on the poor side with minimum assets. No offense you and Pete have huge amounts of lands and clearly don't need to grow food to pay the bills. If anyone has any tips on quick ways to acquire land or use land that would be appreciated.

[@chaunceymillard2963]

Maybe you could lease land or ask a farmer for space to use

[@danielnaberhaus5337]

Work for other farmers so you know what to do when you do aquire it. Start a nursery business because that's going to make you more money than selling fruit. Learn how to graft, air layer, and plant seeds. Start growing fruit trees in pots and fill your entire place with potted plants. Learn how to write grants. Read every book in the library about local ag. Start selling plants and seeds on Etsy. Plant native trees in your nursery, especially edible ones like walnut and hickory.

[@danielnaberhaus5337]

You can buy bare lava rock on Hawaii pretty cheap in the higher lava danger areas, it's not for the faint of heart.

[@TaxEvasion777]

Raw land with an easement.

[@Nihlink]

Find work then find the land based on that. If you can get a well paid remote job you can venture into more remote cheaper areas. You don’t need as much land as you might think. Also land with a house is much better than without. Trying to do it all yourself is impossible even if KZbin makes it seem that way. You only need like half an acre in reality. Anywhere in the subtropical regions of the us is going to be really expensive unfortunately. It took me about 5 years of living of next to nothing saving every penny working a relatively high paying job that honestly I’m very lucky to have. I was able to buy a house that already had a food forest with 20+ fruit trees and all kinds of good stuff. I work full time and wake up early and work in the garden then also work in the garden after work.

[@thehuntfortruth]

While you're in Florida go see Matt Reese with what's ripening & peace river organics. He's all about syntropic agroforestry
