So is PETE going to get up north more to keep up with, "what's growing on," in the north with JIM??? Totally our favorite guest and he is so motivating, the guy just gets up early and hustles. Also I would like to se what TANNER is able to do with this farm.

I have the pleasure of having met these folks and although "stuff" does happen and you never know, I support this venture. Right now the vid has 5.1K views. If all the viewers gave a donation it would meet the need. Intention is an enormous part of creation. If you're not a farmer, you can't know the effort and consistency involved. We MUST support young farmers with the intention to regenerate the land and feed people.

I just found out about your farm and your farming today. Looks like you do exceptionally well with the smaller space you are working with. And I hope the Gofundme is continuing to help with your efforts to save the farm. There is a local guy I listen to (Green Gregs) where I heard about the Dervaes family in Pasadena, CA that farms on a 1/10th an acre. And makes a living like you do. Maybe something for Tanner to look into how they operate to improve your production even more.

@user-pi6el9lv4e Год назад

Makes perfect sense...01) keep it going - that garden is like a well oiled machine...02) Fresh energy - teach the next gen of growers for tomorrow...03) Make it an attractive practical proposition for the next gen...04) Keep the vulchers away...i.e. Lawyers, etc...05) It's up to Jim to decide what's best for him and his family - so who cares what we think

@scottamaral5073 Год назад

Hey I said I’d donate when you originally posted the request. I just donated today!! I’m willing to take a chance on Tanner. I trust Jim’s judgment and I’ve heard Tanner’s passion for farming and trust him to do some great things on that plot of land. Good luck Tanner. Looking forward to your success.

Good luck Jim , Tanner , Pete , im sure it will all work out as planned for years to come, im in the same boat as tanner , I dont own land yet , but have been running my own landscaping business for serval years in south FL and saving like crazy so that i can one day soon buy my own land and do tons of growing .

Two houses. Need two families to live in them and share the expense. Jim can guide in the interim but he will be in Maine full time in the years to come, with his new family. He can construct a greenhouse in Maine and grow anything he wants all year. That should be the next phase.

@myrajackson-rain5483 6 месяцев назад

I live in Maine. Growing all year round isn’t done here, because people say there isn’t enough sunshine, and the electric bill for grow lights and heat would far outweigh any advantage and monies you could get if anything would and could grow… I don’t know if they are right or not. I wish Jim all the best… he’s got a difficult growing season ahead…

@grilledxcheeze Год назад

This whole thing feels so off to me. Jim clearly has an emotional attachment to his property and he is not ready to part with it. I understand that completely, especially after all of the sweat equity he has built into it over many years. To talk like this operation can't be done elsewhere is kind of crazy. When it comes to land production, Pete's new market garden was off the ground and running on it's first season on virgin land. Why was there no discussion of USDA ag loans in this video? Why no serious mention of Tanner possibly leasing the land instead of buying it? You need to put together an actual business plan for this whole project. I'm half wondering if what you are doing is even legal? It seems like the fundraiser is set up as a personal thing when the funds are going to be used for a business? I think my whole problem with this project is it seems like the entire thing was planned around donations instead of first exhausting every other means. If it was a last ditch effort to save the farm and if it fell through Jim and Tanner would be homeless and never farm again that's one thing but they absolutely have options it seems like they are not considering which leads me to question so many other aspects of the project. Pete has a ton of business experience and I would like to see some of that expertise implemented into this plan while sharing with the audience and we could all learn even more from this. Instead we seem to be doubling down on handouts. I think you all are capable of doing much better.

@willsgarden6740 Год назад

Great points

@az55544 Год назад

Tanner is just another white guy looking for handouts. There are so many unexplored options or at least undocumented in these videos. A second job. Stacking enterprises like short term rentals. And there are Solutions explored and discussed and written off as “too much trouble/lawyers”. Both of which are personal preferences. But it’s easier to ask for “donations” to support a lifestyle choice. Nah.

@jujube2407 Год назад

It just sounds like Jim's brother is being a gold digger and screwing his brother. If he makes so much a month... for the last 12 years...why wasn't $$ set aside...so he had a nest egg in case something happened...

@amyjones2490 Год назад

You obviously have never tried to purchase farm land. I have and it was humiliating and couldn’t afford it anyway. Working for the government is a pain. I signed up for one program years ago which I’m not even using and now I have to tell them everything I am doing.

@jujube2407 Год назад

@Amy Jones if you didn't take their money... you don't have to tell them anything...beyond the normal state requirements. Kids can't even hold plant sales in ny at a farmers market for "donations" without a usda inspection LEGALLY in ny... that's not big ag...thats the state.
