@Sofia_Freja 3 года назад

I am from Western Michigan. I had no idea this farm was in Petoskey. The market there includes a great many second homes for wealthy people from downstate (Grand Rapids, Metro Detroit). So supermarket selection in Petoskey stores looks much more like what you would find in a wealthy suburb of a big city. The total number of residents doesn't include these thousands of people who spend a lot on food

@erwinbockler7590 Год назад

I like your social outlook - in a world of worker shortage, sharing ownership responsibilities is certainly modern business thinking. Your package- with more fisch in a "transportable" box- something like those folding sandwich containers with clips... bigger, stronger.... and your unit would be perfect, for example: a 200man bivouac situation: construction & military in desert or remote locations....a complete food logistic package, especially where more normal ie. packaged, canned goods shipped from warehouses were to be an unreliable supply chain. Do you need a dealer in Germany? Would be happy to hear from you.... already thinking of 2 truck configuration: 1 for all materials, including fisch boxes, another open bed for goats, with a chicken house on wheels gets pulled...

Isnt that an "organic" monoculture in a greenhouse?

@bradsuarez2683 4 года назад

You seem to be perplexed that an organic farm is monoculture..... that's pretty much the norm if you want to make money. I haven't seen many profitable permaculture veggie farms out there.

@kaxiaz 4 года назад

@@bradsuarez2683 because its not about profit...its about stable ecossystems...and that was the initial idea for organic agriculture also.

@bradsuarez2683 4 года назад

@@kaxiaz If it's just about stable ecosystems then we should just abandon all farms be it permaculture or conventional and let the land go wild. I guarantee you that within a couple years, nature would have turned all the lands into stable ecosystems. No my friend this is too idealistic. It's about providing food for us humans in the most natural way possible. Permaculture tries to mimic nature while giving us a surplus of food. The surplus of food is the main goal NOT a stable ecosystem. And when it comes to growing veggies like tomatoes or spinach it would be extremely difficult to grow enough to even consume for yourself and family if not grown in a monoculture type setting. Even in permaculture design, the zone in which you grow your annuals is a monoculture. Think about it.

@kaxiaz 4 года назад

@@bradsuarez2683 it is clear you have never seen tomatoes grow on wild conditions and self seed and it is clear you have never seen many other things...lets leave it like that.

He's essentially paying himself as much as his employees despite the fact he's assuming all the risk. That seems foolish to me. If nothing else, I feel like that would lead to burn out. That much risk for so little reward (41K?) seems haphazard. But if he can keep scaling maybe.
