He didn't find his paradise, he grew it!!

29 years old and sick of my money driven life. I have always dreamed of being off grid. This man is very inspiring, I don't want kids until I can achieve this lifestyle. I hope my dreams come true one day.

27 years old and so tired of the city life ,I have finally decided to go back to our native homeland in Afghanistan and make a beautiful farm over there . I still think i am lucky for making this decision at this time ....

Thank you. Just what I needed to watch. My hubby and I are directors of our farm business and own property, plus small pensions. I am nearly 52, hubby is 55. We have started to save to retire from the farm, and possibly live on rental income, I'd really appreciate you go LIVE and talk about how to earn passive income online and retire comfortably, let’s say $1M.

Just lovely, my soul is so tired of the world but the guy resonated with me when he said about 'having enough' Peace be with all who recognise when they have 'enough'

"Understanding the word 'enough' is important, I think." Is probably the most important sentence in this video and more people need to hear and understand that lesson.

It's been two years since I moved to a farm. I went back to the big smoke a couple of weekends ago and I couldn't sleep. The noises, the lack of consideration, the distractions and focus on ego or status. I don't think I finished many sentences before being interrupted by another conversation or new question. There was the familiar sense of people pursuing more and more and being fulfilled less and less. Loved the video, if you can't afford land, start with a garden. If you can't have a garden, start with pot plants.

It video is so close to my heart ! After 3 years of effort , finally, my husband and I got a piece of land just like this. 🙏

"understanding word 'enough' is important."

"A lovely tree is a lovely thing to look at. " This guy enjoys his life.

Im 28 years old & this made me realize how short we have to enjoy the life & things we was given. Life itself, nature, loved ones. This is purely beautiful.

I lived in Manila for 43 years..now I am here in the province practicing natural organic Perma Farming..with goats..Freedom.Peace..Abundance

This is my life when I retired going back to my beautiful country Philippines!!

Haven, sanctuary, beauty… you have created a wonderful soul nourishing property. Congratulations.

"Understanding the word 'enough' is important I think." -Classic statement!

I was born into this kind of life and chose a change into the city life...I have learned so much about people and different worlds I didn't know ...I can't wait to go back to the simplicity of country life. Its where my soul's calling . I'm so much happier without crowds of people around. I love my own company much more .

Crispin seems honest about the difference between "the dream" and practice which I can appreciate! Lovely ideals and happy to see them make it work!

Creating your own natural haven. What an achievement and I Love it.

based in japan too, doing the same thing...

Understanding the word "enough" is important. Loved this 🤍

I love this kind of living .. so fulfilling,one is in touch with mother nature

"Understanding the word 'enough' is important I think"....words to live by

2:30 i love how his excuse is "it looks nice". It just brings a bit of simplicity XD

We grew it in a circle, because, it looks nice. No other reason needed. It's mentally beneficial. It's beautiful. ❤

I'm only 28 yrs old but i'm leaning towards this kind of life. I moved to the countryside last year to leave the city and be with nature. And it's the best thing I've done so far. I don't know what my life will be like here, but i'm excited to know what it's gonna be. 💚

Nature's like free entertainment no TV required more of us should do it.

Understanding the word enough eliminates 99% of our problems...so much wisdome,thank you for this awesome example 💚

His life philosophy is so inspiring and it really hits home, this is the life I am working towards

They have the right priorities in life.

Seeing a boot jack for the first time has just changed what I believed about existence.

He is living a LIFE

I read many comments from people who are fed up with their way of life, who would like to have a life like the people in this video. But we don't dare to take the step, or we don't have enough resources. If only we were not so individualistic and selfish and could come together as a group. Many people could never do this alone, but maybe they could in a group.

Such a warm character…lovely portrait.

He truly created heaven on earth. Slowly, we are coming back to nature as food becomes so expensive. I grew up like this. I have always being surrounded by nature. I love and adore my forest at the back of my home. Its just come into bloom now and has become rich in green lush leaves its so beautiful and very blessed.

Now this is the life we all should be living. Great to see it

I dream having a place like that i love it.....

WOW!!!!HE CREATED PARADISE🙏👏👍🙏👏👍🙏👏👍

One book I really enjoyed reading…free online…is called Ten Acres Enough. From 1860s USA. Big best seller. Man moves his family from city to a small farm. When the guy in the film said Enough, he made me think of it. It’s a diary of sorts, with lots of details. And spreadsheet type records of his harvest and income for his family. And what worked. It’s fairly short and well written. Fascinating book.

brought a smile to an old man's heart, thank you

This man is living my dream

How stunning - how beautiful: every scene and every word. May I congratulate this couple for showing, that Paradise is actually here on Earth 🍀

After I discovered this channel, I realized what I want my life to be :D

Pure life lived.

This is the life that i want🥺

In the future, I will be able to living a lifestyle similar to how this man is living his life. And it will be beautiful.

This guy is so charming and down to earth.

I often think that I was born in the wrong time which I know isn't true but I so much enjoy this type of living compared to being in the city. I am now for the first time in my life growing my own food, raising chickens and planting fruit trees. talking my husband into a wood burning stove, my prayers include living as self sufficient as possible. It is a much more peaceful and enjoyable way of life in my opinion. God bless you all

thanks

Beautifully said, understanding "enough", would set a lot of us free from the rat race. Soon will be joining your club😊

So inspiring and beautifully composed!

In 1991 I wrote my dissertation about permaculture. Really love it still 😀

This so wholesome. I feel at peace watching this video.

This is paradise, peaceful, appreciate the nature..

I love the garden design with the four paths leading outward from the center. It reminds me of the Mercator map of the Arctic, which shows lands in the shape of a four leaf clover around the pole. It is the true map of how our northern regions look today, despite what scientists say about an ice sheet.

We brought my Grandmother out of her European Village which is very basic to the Western Nation we live in. She lasted 6 months she hated the Technology she said where is the social life. She even said the food she said I can’t live here it’s not what she thought the West is. She said I want to go home we might not have cars or Airconditioning or bathrooms but we have a better simple life and she went back. We realised we are just running on a hamster wheel going nowhere fast we are considering our options now maybe it’s time to get back to basics and leave the big smoke behind.

Awesome

This makes me smile…. Living my dream through you!

A jolly and hardworking old English man living in Japan and in a blissful and tranquil land and nature. Ideal life well away from modernity. However did not see anything about his family. May God bless and protect him.

What a fantastic way of life! Enjoy!

That’s one of the most beautiful things I ever seen. Thank you

What a peaceful, joyful and contented life

We are all on our own journeys without end ... What a wonderful path was chosen here.

so peaceful and simple...

That is my dream made reality for this man and his family, Good on you Sir.

Let's regenerate all that we can!!

All this man need is his buddy dogs n his dedication to the farm.

this is exactly how i picture my life

What a wonderful life

You are a blessed soul with fluttering of happiness butterflies around you.

"Understanding the word 'enough' is important"

What a peaceful and rewarding Life

“Understanding ENOUGH is important…”. That hits hard. So true. ❤

What a beautiful mind set- a truly beautiful way of life. Thank you for sharing this video ~ you are remarkable people. Sending you light, love, peace, joy and abundance always. I love you.

A wonderful paradise that not many can afford sadly! I believe in permaculture! It is the way to go.

BEAUTIFUL LIFE, PEACEFUL & FEEL FREE. LOTS OF FOOD.

Very well expressed, looking forward to join the club 🌞👍🏻

This is the life...I always dreamt of...

This is the way we should be all living, in tune with nature.

No Sir, on a farm you WORK, but its soooo satisfying!!!!! You and your wife are sooo SMART.❤❤

It takes a community, that’s why you don’t have the “quiet time” you want. I pray people will come around you, and help you achieve your dream

What a peaceful soul he is...! ❤

This man's inner peace radiates off of him. I want this some day.

Great story!

More videos like this please . Thanks for the inspirational video , that man can work beside nature, and not to destroy nature

Being a farmer i love natural. We shouldn't love chemical because it's shortening our life by consuming day to day life! Let's support natural things to live our life.

A beautiful and moving story of your success. Thanks for sharing it with us.

So inspiring. I'm a male mid 50's, overweight, unhappy, lost in London. Have been burned out for working my whole life in mental health helping others. I'm desperately looking for an exit from this existential trap. Love cooking, making jam, preserves, and willing to learn bakery skills. Is anywhere, anyone out there??

This seems like a nice life

Absolutely beautiful

Regenerative agriculture regenerates the soil and the soul.

Wow,so beautiful. Love your boot Jack. Gardening is healing.

"Understanding the word enough is important"..... indeed!

that is what living is all about/ well done guys and all the best

As a fellow Englishman, I fully agree with his opinion of both city life and living in the countryside. I really couldn’t take the city anymore - the noise and air pollution, the crowds, etc were driving me insane. Here, I can go outside most nights and have a beautiful view of the stars. I just sit there watching the night sky with the sound of the running water and the birds and relax. The absence of noise from vehicles alone was fantastic. No noisy scooters delivering newspapers at 4am, no motorbikes, and no ambulances. Our farm sits at 850 metres above sea level in a space cut out of the cypress and chestnut forest. There is a large stream with fish running through the property, which was a key selling point. Nearby bamboo groves also provide lots of takenoko in late April through May, there is plenty of foraging available and I will be enjoying chestnuts later in the year. We have bears and monkeys here as well, but the boar, so far, are more troublesome. They can destroy a crop overnight I didn’t want to build fences, but it has to happen. Luckily, the land is terraced with large stone walls that will not require as many fences. I too will be regenerating this land. I’ve bought many species of fruit trees, blackberry, blueberry and grapes and we also got some bee hives that we hope to get filled. I have almost finished building a chicken coop and that, we hope, will supply us our eggs. I have the compost piles going and there is no lack of material on hand to do that. It’s an old farmhouse, and needs some work. The electricity, for example, is only 15 amps; which seems insufficient but has been ok so far. On a positive note, our electric bill was only ¥2,500 in April and water is free. To get upgraded to 30 amps requires paying for another line to be run and I imagine that won’t be cheap.

I look at this video twice. It’s amazing when step back and rethink one’s life. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to your progress.

The life I’m dreaming to live.

Beautiful philosophy and lifestyle!

Countryside life is the best, peaceful, relaxing close to nature.

Beautiful, inspiring and lovely sense of calm and integrity. Well done. Love it!
