I think a lot of people overlook the importance of branding, and this video has a lot of great practical examples. I love the egg stamp idea, and about how they are getting free advertising because people love instagraming them
Curtis, FYI, I bought your book, read it cover to cover, watched all your video's. Starting a AreoPonics business. What you do is not the same, and it's similar. You are nothing short of awesome! Thanks for all that you do!
Curtis, thanks for continuing to bring great content. Any chance you are planning to interview some flower farmers who are crushing it on small acreage like Floret Farm?
Thank you Curtis and Diego, great uncovered content! There s plenty of room for new informative content, and you two specialists, know best what subject to pin down. Thank you keep at it
I kinda gasped when I saw a bit of footage of them harvesting micro greens using the greens harvester by just punching the flat underneath. It looked efficient by getting well over 99% of the shoots and fast by it only taking seconds.
I've been searching, please help. We're in Louisville, KY and I'm desperately looking for the vented, self locking boxes Steadfast uses and the vented poly liners they use in there boxes. I'm going to call steadfast farm but, if anyone can assist, that'd be awesome.
Curtis How much info should be on a label? For example a bag of mixed greens; do you put a harvest date on anything or how do you determine how long your product stays fresh? Thanks
Curtis I have a question. I'm starting my urban farm this year and I just hooked up with a restaurant who will need mixed salad mixes and other veggies. The manager said to send them some prices. This is a mid cost restaurant and they brew their own beer. My question is, how do I determine a good price for the salad mixes to get their business? Your answer would be very much appreciated, and I value your videos very much, they have taught me a lot!
@Curtis or @Diego: can anyone tell us the name and model of the printer he's using for all his marketing labels. It was asked before but no one answered and I didn't see a link of anything in the Info Box above. Seriously, quick answer on it would help a lot of us, thanks! :)
Looks like a Brother Network Ready 4” label printer based on shape and what he said about it (continuous 4” wide roll that automatically cuts the label after printing).

Hey Curtis, I am an ex-pat living in So America. Are you willing to provide the names of those amazing "machines" you show at the beginning & provide where to purchase??? Awesome video, thanks!
sorry Curtis, I really must be dense I looked at your website, really nice & did download info on butterflies. I did not see anything about those amazing machines in the very first few minutes of the video. I don't know what any of them are called (except for the "tiller"). Would love to educate myself on what they are called, what they do, if they would serve my needs and WHERE to buy them. Sorry, to go on & on but maybe I was not clear in my original note. THANKS for you time, it is appreciated.
There is a link under his video. It's Curtis's gear list, and has most of it. He also has other videos on what he uses if you look I think he has a playlist. Also they all have links under them if I remember correctly. Hope this helps.
Does anyone here grow in the sand? I live on Padre Island, Sand, beach sand, HOT! Most of the year. I've grown tomatoes, carrots, summer squash with some success, most everything thing else fails (HEAT). I've been very heavy in Back to Eden type mulch garden. I need advise on growing a food forest. Thanks; D
I would dig a hole and add a plant with a paper bag full of amended compost. The only thing the sand is good for is drainage. Try a couple plants and see what happens.
DO NOT ADD CLAY it will become like concrete. Amend with lots of compost that is high in nutrients and loam, i.e. coconut fiber or peet moss type fibrous tissue, anything that will absorb moisture. I live near a river and the land was basically sand when i started. Now it is good healthy moisture holding soil, alive with lots of organisms. There is some clay in some areas of my property and it is hard as hell and the only way that I have been able to grow in those areas is to just build up 6-12 inches of material on top of it. Good luck and google; Ruth Stout, or lasagna gardening, or no till gardening.
I watched Diego Footer video on that farm & he said it was 2.0 acres? Which is it? I used to live in Avondale AZ That`s great they`re successful in that desert!
