I’m only 14 but I’m trying to learn as much as possible I just started growing last year and I already grew some strawberries beans and potatoes I really enjoy growing food it’s the only thing I see my self doing in the future
If you have hot climmate more than 4 month, please try to grow ginger, turmeric & galangal. All of those are the ginger family & have similar growing requirement Many said those plant as "green gold" but im not sure how expensive those spice where you live. Many online material you can find, both video tutorial or research paper about how to grow
After knowing you are 91 and thinking about starting a farm I am 41 & I got super motivation from you It's my dream to have a farm & live a natural life
I'd say if ypu have help like even just one other person ideally a bot younger than you I think ypu would be fine you can do more of the managing then pure physical labor at 91
My stepdad and I are planning on starting a farm soon. He gave me some “homework” to research the basics and take notes on it. Your video has singlehandedly answered every question I had. I very much appreciate your thorough descriptions and charts for reference.
@@Leumaseyal I am glad you have enough free time to worry about someone else’s relationship with their parental figures. I happen to have both a father and a stepfather who are active in my life. Out of respect for my biological father, he is dad. My stepfather and I have known each other long enough that this is understood. Teach your own kids some respect. I’m grown.
@@beespace. Thats kinda weird that you all cant even take suggestions. I havent said any thing bad at all . Why should i be sorry . Is it wrong to show respect and love ???
This is by the far the most comprehensive, clear and rich content farming/homesteading video I've found on RU-vid, great work and thanks for sharing :D
Totally useful, full of sense, humility, sharing such a phenomenal work knowledge with all angles covered. Impressive & inspiring. Bravo Dutch Farmer Moreno, respect! Gooe bezig!
Good day Moreno. I am from Jamaica and I am a small farmer with a full-time military job for 22yrs. Its time to transition and I truly believe that your videos have really advanced my knowledge. Thanks a lot for this.
You were so kind and generous to give this concise information for free. Bless you guys and your farm. Thank you so much. This is all I want to do, as a chef I got really fascinated by food and learning to work with local growers but then I just got interested in learning how to grow the crops myself for what I endeavour to do and this video has put things in clear perspective. Thank you so much.
I am 65, a soon to be semi retired remodeling contractor...Want to start sustainable farming to eat healthier and pass down to my children and grand children...watching Urban Farmer Curtis Stone, Neversink Farm Conor Crickmore, etc...Thank you for all the content you supply as well...
Wow, a video about making money on a small farm that's actually information and about making money on a small farm, thank you. I've had to dig through so many videos with similar titles that had zero information about how to actually execute this. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I wish your family all the health and prosperity as well :) your space is very beautiful.
Absolutely love this video! The Dutch Farmer is so clear and concise. My wife and I just got 7 acres and plan to start a market garden. I downloaded the book so let the homework begin! Thank you so much for the amazing information. It's priceless! Looking forward to all the other videos! Take care "Dutch"!
I don’t know what to say except watch this video. It’s packed with great easy to understand advice. He communicates the steps and reasons for the steps in an awesome 30 minute conversation. Love it and thank you so much for creating and sharing. My wife and I recently acquired land and want to create a homestead. We really needed the help in understanding the elements that go into successfully market farming your land
I've never been given so much info in a concentrated time as well as specific & thoroughly. U need to teach & let the rookies farm! Very appreciative of your teaching. Be blessed.
I like how this guy straight up gives you the information you clicked on the video for!!! I've watched hours of RU-vid trying to find this information. Most clips are like, I'll give you some of the information, but if you want it all, you have to buy my book, or attend my seminars.
This is honestly the best & most straight forward guide on farming I've ever seen. All facts no bullshit, except maybe in the compost! You've inspired me! Well done, farmer!
The advent of the quarantine has catapulted my partner and I towards growing our own food and make a business from it. Blessed with land to farm but have zero knowledge, your video is God sent. Thank you for your generous knowledge - clear, concise and driven! Will definitely be downloading your book and hopefully report back to you from our first harvest. Much respect, from Philippines 🇵🇭
Well done. Very comprehensive. Our clients vary from dirt poor to wealthy businessmen. It's time for serious planning and you've given great guidelines. Bless you. Peace!
I'm 17 and I'm already getting all the lots that my parents and grandparents have for the sole purpose of farming. I really like to start a farming business but I don't know where to start... well, good luck to me.
Great content Moreno, you don't often get RU-vidrs or content creators delving into the pre-farming stage to the extent you've gone into here. So useful to see how you laid out initial plans based on local research and approaching customers before any seeds are planted. This seems like the logical best way to do it, I would've definitely gone the other way around if you hadn't educated me. I'd love to see more on that if there's much else to discuss. Hoping I can put these lessons into practice in the near future.
I really learned a lot from your video. What I find most interesting at this point is how you did your market research. I look forward to watching more videos that actually documented your actual experiences when you were out there interviewing potential markets for your farm produce . Thank you taking time to share your invaluable experiences in farming.
What an absolutely excellent video for those of us who are beginning farmers or want to know more about succeeding in this endeavor! It's condensed but in a way that is easily understood. Awesome on you for supporting fellow small farmers and future small farmers! This video helped A LOT.
This is the most helpful and comprehensive how to start farming video I've seen so far, but it's a LOT 😲 I'm watching this over again haha Ive got a lot of work ahead of me
I appreciate that your video start out presenting information and continues throughout the entirety without burning lot of time with anecdotes and distracting filler. You transfer a lot of concepts into less than half and hour clearly and concisely including some specific details yet not so much that it distracts from the broader topic of your presentation. I thought watching your video was time well spent.Thanks for putting it out there.
Help me reach 100 subscribers chdck out my newest video on how to grow round courgette from seed. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JT7vPsSaOjM.html Help me reach 100 subscribers. I also have more related videos, on how I grow vegetables from seed on my channel. Any tips or comments would be appreciated
It's enough to say that I absolutely love your video? So informative, especially for someone like me who dream about owning small piece of land, doing my own vegetables and raise chicken and rabbits. Thank you for your hard work you had to put to make little video so rich of informations. People like you are truly making world better place!
You're more fluent than an experienced politician using a teleprompter! Thanks, it's a lot of information and advice, but I can view it any number of times.
Must say after watching this video, I feel like I'm a professional farmer already, so insightful and actually inspiring. Thank you sir for your guidance it's much appreciated 🙏👌
I just finished a small business management class, so I really appreciate your focus on market research, product differentiation, and marketing strategy alongside actually growing vegetables. I am heading over to download your ebook now!
Hi, just want to say that this is a really helpful video. I'm not from the EU but still, I think the philosophy of farming is same even if the methods are a bit different around the globe. I've learned quite a few things from this and will make sure to use them to improve my methods. Thank you, and please continue making such instructional and helpful videos!
Thanks for sharing your approach, very valuable nformation!! I'm currently running a small 400sqm no dig market garden, as part of a bigger permaculture project in Germany. For me it was a really good reminder to meet the restaurant owners this winter and completely plan the next year ahead. So that the amount of grown produce really fits to the demand! Also clearly setting financial goals and then go on from there, like Fortier also says! Thanks a lot, looking forward to more videos ;)
@@TheDutchFarmer Yeah, but unfortunately it's only in german so far: www.naturgemacht.org/ and instagram, with sam pictures from last week: instagram.com/pekk_permakultur_kirchhorst/ I`d love to visit your farm, maybe some time next year! Always keen on learning new things :) I've spend 2 weeks at Charles Dowdings place in Sept. which was a huge inspiration!
@@leozlatkovic Thanks for sharing! Yes, we can definitely keep in touch. I've got also many farms on my list that I still have to visit. From what I've seen so far, your farm looks really nice. Keep up the good work👍
This video gave me the information I wanted on how to reorganize my existing land for small-scale commercial farming here in my area in Malaysia. Thank you so much for sharing this information.
Thanks for sharing your experience Moreno. This has to be the best video on the web about all the aspects of starting your own farm and how to ensure it succeeds. Wonderful information. You are an awesome inspiration.
@@TheDutchFarmer Wow! You run your beautiful farm , generously teach others to do the same, give away free ebook , and you still reply to comments within 5 minutes....... you are a dynamo ;)
I always want to start a farm but have no idea how to do it. Your channel helps me a lot. Thanks man! Hope to see more detailed videos on how to plant from seed to harvest
Thank you so much for making and sharing this video; you don't know how much this means to this newbie. The episode contains so much insight and wisdom, I cannot begin to thank you enough for the wealth of info I am getting-I will sidestep some mistakes because I watched this for sure (for example, understand the market first before browsing for tools lol no lie, I have another tab open now browsing for essential tools). Downloading the ebook now.
This was an amazing video. I grew up on a farm, but that was about 40 years ago. While I love the idea of farming, I'll probably never go back to it. This video, however, has sparked that interest again. Thank you for creating such an interesting and educational video.
I would like to just take a moment to say THANK YOU!!!!. I haven't even viewed 1/4 of the video & you make so much sense. Your honesty and is so much appreciated. Words can't explain. This it what we need in a video so that we All can grow. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Just bought land in my home country of Zambia....wanting to pursue farming. I found this video very handy and informative. I like your organizational structure. I'm subbed!
This is one of the most educative video on farming that I have ever watched, I can't thank you enough for sharing such a wonderful experience. Tony South Africa
What I liked most: The showing of the use of gardening tool, the "verbs" of the works on the garden farm herbs. Tools that helped to get the jobs done. Thank you
Moreno, thanks for the vast amount of information based on your experience of starting a farm! It's obvious that you are speaking from knowledge gained with real-life experience and the fact that you are willing to share this information says a lot about who you are. Keep up the great work!
Moreno your farm looks Amazing, and the video is great!! Thanks for all the help you have given us. Your knowledge and experience will be a great value to many people, and the clear and concise way you share it is spot on!! BARN Farm, USA, Stephanie and Nick
your video is the best! I have never watch in all my research about gardening, all this amazing answers to my questions in one place, thanks. This will do me a lot and a lot. am in The Gambia trying to start a land of 73 by 195 meters square, it will be a lot of work and money but I believe slow is the best I will get there in do time thanks again. I like your advice about the trees is get so hot here like really hot.
Excellent Information!! This video is a complete book. I don't usually watch nor do I like to watch long videos with lots of talking. Since I've been container gardening I decided to watch the entire video. Thank You. In depth details and tips are perfect.
Hi Moreno, Myself Vivek From India Your experience, Efforts and Presentations are Brilliant! I have a small farm land of 4 acres, going to learn from your videos from now, will for sure share what i have changed in my farm after learning from you. You are a brilliant teacher! All the best and my prayers for you and your family! Blessings to your Daughter.
@@kokopelli2012 Also, I somewhat jested in my experience. I am no farmer by any stretch, but did grow up in a small country town, where all my friends lived on farms I would spend a lot of time at. Been in the city far too long, and am quite rusty though. Also as a carpenter by trade, I'm a little bit handy with some things that will likely be useful. Still, so much to learn!! Can't wait to move back out to country life!
Thanks a million for the inspiration. I can hear the Permaculture principals coming through strongly! We would also like to get out of the system and grow veg, but as you have said, have neglected the critical first step of market research and actually getting the day to day design layout has also been challenging. Back to the drawing board for us! This is exactly what I needed.
You are amazing,,, perfect in calculation, explaining, very well organised, more over a kind heart to explain.. just like my son... thank u for coming in to our life,, I am waiting to get our piece of land (ancestor property which is on our way) & start farming.. thank u for being there for all of us...
I am looking to start a small farm within the next 2 years and this is really the video I needed. Thank you so much for the information rich video, this made a huge difference to me in a very short period of time. Please keep up the great work! Thanks from WA state.
Amazing video. Very clear and understanding method of teaching to us all. Really appreciate your generosity in spreading your wisdom. Hopefully one day i can establish a large farm that can produce the high quality crops you have in the background and some native ones. You have clearly opened my eyes to farming. And for that i say Thank You ❤️
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you for the your professionalism and the complete information you put in this video. I've spent hours researching and you're content has been a saving grace! Thank you!!
You're a natural at this! I'm really interested in the trees on the farm, I've been wanting to do this for a few years now but I've always heard that they wouldn't work in the system, however, we farm in an extremely hot climate so I would think it would have many benefits. They probably need to be deciduous trees though, right?
Hi there! Thanks! Yes the trees are a really nice asset to have in the market garden, definitely for the protection in harsh weather conditions, but also for the added increase in diversity and interactions between different systems and wildlife. Having said that, the land we farm on is rented and the trees were already there, so we decided to work our way around them. This layout of trees is not the most practical, and I would personally never plant them in this layout. Instead, I would make tree lanes planted more on a Keyline pattern, following the work of P. A. Yeomans. If that is not possible, I would make blocks (or plots/fields) of a certain amount of beds and in between all the blocks plant hedgerows, trees and a whole bunch of different things. They don't necessary need to be deciduous, but take into consideration the constant shade evergreen trees will cast during different times of the year (which is something you might want - or not). And also take into consideration when designing trees into your system, the height and width they'll have at mature stage! Hope that helps! Thanks for watching👍
We might think you’re a pro at farming. We got valuable ideas from your video and we’re going to share your channel with our customers who want to start a farm. Thanks for creating this!
I watch all of your videos and love every single one of them. Even though I'm only 12 I already have a vegetable garden and plan on starting a farm to make profit and a living off of the thing that I love doing, gardening! Thank you!
I was doing commercial farming 80 hectares at a time in mexico .... But I switched to more personal growth and approach to people ..you absolutely right.. study your area ..is different types of markets ...good video ..
I really enjoyed the first video, took plenty of notes and I'm going to implement what I learned. I've been growing food for quite a while but mostly just for myself. I have sold in farmer's markets but mostly my fruits. Your beds looked really nice. I am getting ready for my next gardening season, which doesn't start outdoors until late March, since where I live is very cold 5 months of the year. We make up with the very long days during the rest of the year. I have subscribed and thank you for the e-book.
Hi, This is very informative. You have systematically captured all the necessary details which are generically applicable to any farm irrespective of where it is located. Thanks
100% quality content for someone new to market gardening who needs to learn the subject. No waffle and repetition like some presenters, especially American content producers. Many thanks for your time putting this information out to the world, it is very valuable!
Great overview and guide on how to start or restart your farm. Look forward to hearing more. This is a very practical and methodical approach to farming with some good lessons learned
You're so amazing. it was very educational for me as a potential farmer in East Africa, the Horn to be specific. Thank you so much for sharing this crucial knowledge.
