I love that you guys are starting to diversify content in your channel! Stories like these are such an interesting take and I love the people involved in them too.
We're really looking forward to highlighting more amazing folks in the area. It's interesting for us because we can "take it all in" and see what we may want to do at Flock. We suppose that's how knowledge exchange occurs!
They started going it in Brooklyn and traveling to greenhouses through the world. yes, I love seeing how people growing high quality food artisan food and making a living !
This is great content for your channel, I hope you do more videos on your local small farms. This couple reminds me of my niece Katie who bought a run down farm property over 20 years ago in Arthur, Ontario Canada. She has five children and operates a sustainable goat dairy, sells amazing cheeses, milk, yogurt, soaps and lotion and has authored a book of how to raise and keep goats. She and her husband Will fight to stay small and sustainable in order to have more family time and an attentive farm without economic pressures. They have had to do some pivots during the pandemic, but all is well. We are so proud of them for living their dreams.
We absolutely plan to highlight more of the great makers, bakers, farmers, and doers in the area. There are just too many NOT to film. We think all of us can learn quite a bit from their knowledge; and helpful for us to see what we may want to do/accomplish/incorporate at Flock.
As a chef whose Sicilian parents own an Italian restaurant and make pizza, and also as someone who loves plants and gardening, this brought tears to my eyes. Maybe this resonates with me because of my personal history, but I truly think that hat they are doing is beautuful and very meaningful. Creating quality food and quality time for people, in a sustainable way. Hats off !! Really.
I LOVE this! I’m visiting family in Ithaca next month and looking into getting some of that pizza 🍕. They seem like an amazing family & farm, this makes me miss Upstate NY so much ♥️
21:39 I love how both of them just took their passions and experience (and love for pizza) going went FULL FORCE with it despite not having -college degrees- in agriculture or restaurant management or culinary arts. Also I was laughing at the idea of donating and composting whatever you didn't sell and I was thinking about composting pizza and how weird it'd look to have all the leafy greens and and tomatoes and slice of pizza made from leafy greens and tomatoes 🤔🤣
Awesome these people are living the dream. Im sure it’s a lot of work. My wife and I did pizza school nyc. We also live in Philly so this story resonates with me. Thank you for your Chanel been loving the content.
I love your guys videos. It must feel great to use your green houses to feed your family and neighbors! So did you guys need to get permits or a license to sell the pizzas? It’s great that it helped save you guys. Has to be a humbling experience.
Such a great video! I'm always surprised to hear people who didn't grow up at a farm going and starting their own! I grew up at a farm and it was so much hard labour that I would not go back, nor take my children to it, we had no holiday or day off, the farm and crops were the priority ...
You managed to capture some ‘life’ (spirit) in these brief clips-with people learning how to survive life after leaving the so-called urban jungle (ie. downtown Babylon), and after further difficulty settles in to the equation. I really enjoy the sense of distance these people have moved, away from the real humdrum of city life-into what would otherwise be called ‘humdrum’ by the people that can’t imagine living in the countryside. (Btw, how far is the nearest starbucks?)
I was interested to know what they used to control flea beetles for eggplants, but I see they have the same issue. Great business sense with creating a product with higher demand and price point.
Watching this at 1am and now all I want is a huge garlic PIZZA. FFL is awesome and it's only going to get better. 👍 Is there any snow left in that area?
Sometimes it's challenging to shoot enough b-roll (secondary shots) in advance, especially as a story develops over the course of several days. But if this means you're an accomplished, willing and able secondary cameraperson in the area who is willing to shoot pro bono b-roll for the channel 1-5 days/video, we'd love to know! That would definitely afford us more opportunity to have different intercuts for story-telling.
@@FlockFingerLakes unfortunately, I’m in Europe! on the other hand, I was just amused that I didn’t realize it was the same pizza until I just mindlessly saw it being cut at least the third time. at least 50 % laughing about myself. :)
