This Farm is Ready for Things to Get WEIRD 

This guy is a true rebel. I am on this same path... 10 months into converting a horse ranch into a permaculture system.

This dude is everything I wish to be. Thanks, Andrew, for uploading. And thank you, Ben, for spreading the idea around.

Thanks Andrew - Ben Falk's property is amazing and he is such an inspiration. I'm working towards a resilient landscape here in Australia that provides for my needs, and love seeing what others are doing in the permaculture world!!

I re-read Ben Falk's book "The Resilient Farm and Homestead" every winter, to remind me of the things I aspire to do, and the things I may have forgotten to do so far. Always glad to see his property.

"This land is my health care provider" Love it, Ben!

Ben is a powerhouse of information, inspiration, and innovation.

This guy has a way of packing a lot of information into just a few words. Really helpful perspective. Thanks for sharing.

If you have American Chestnut, (an endangered species) then you can get your property protected from EVER bring developed, and it will forever be protected because of that tree! Talk to your lawyer about putting it in your will. And talk to your local arborists and extension office. That's who actually protects it! Good luck hun!

Thank you Andrew for bringing Ben and Whole Systems Design to my attention. I’ve been looking for permaculture resources for the northeast!!!

It's awesome to see how that property has developed. My wife and I took a PDC there 9 years ago.

I love this guy. What a wonderful renaming of terms into meaningful and memorable word pictures for those who haven't been studying permaculture.

Wow, I love this outlook on agriculture!

Wonderful video. I read and re read Ben’s book, is always close to my bed, and I’ve been always wondering how was everything improving and developing. Please Ben, write a second book! Thanks Andrew!

What an incredible, thoughtful and easy to understand explanation of the greater meanings of Permaculture design that many struggle to pinpoint for newbies learning Permaculture principles and practices!

I could have watched an hour long video on this guy and what he's doing! Thanks again Andrew your channel encourages me greatly and gives me so much hope!

Ben’s book, The Resilient Farm and Homestead, is one of the best

i could watch hours of Ben talking about this. thank you for this video.

thank you 🙏🌞

Powerfully, perfectly articulated. Resonates--nothing else comes close.

BEN FALK IS AMAZING..... Love listening to him!

❤thanks❤🌹🙏 great👍👏😊 human being, great Permaculture project

Love this Ben. Love everything about it. Keep kickin ass.

Need a longer cut of this. Great stuff.

Well done.

This guy is speaking my language. I'm a long ways from getting my own piece of land though.

Wow Ben! The farm looks amazing! Everything we worked on two springs ago is looking so good and lush. 👏🏻

Thanks so much for sharing Ben and gangs' work. Precisely the philosophy we are seeking thanks again for superior quality coverage of these under publicized solutions.

Sow and Thank you. Love Ben's approach and his design.

Jah bless this man and this path. May all humans re-discover the way of harmony, health, and abundance as the best defense against exploitation, destruction, and tyranny.

Really extraordinary,,, need to get my land Soon ✨🙏✨

This is awesome! The farm looks amazing and I appreciate the revolutionary praxis! Create the and live the alternative. Great stuff.

“The world does provide…”

ThankQ for being in the solutions

This is so what I needed to see! Been thinking about making sure I can grow the stuff that's a couple hundred miles south of me after it gets warmer. gonna set up for a patch of rice or something.

I could watch 10 hours of this footage

Resisting tyranny; I’m down

Awesome ❤

Wow straight from new york city, this is freaking amazing i wish the city adopted something of this sort at least wuth our projects, they tried to introduce growing marijuana, all these plants would totally make our air a bit more cleaner as well as a sense of involvement for community as well love these videos… keep them up‼️‼️

Excellent video. I like Mr.Ben Falk

@6:35 that's the attitude small farmers need to follow. Let the current system die, build your own that makes it obsolete. After years of fighting the current system, this is the same conclusion I came to.

I would love to live this lifestyle; sucks that I'm too poor to afford the land and tools to do it.

Outstanding, I have been following Ben's work for years. What he has created there amazing.

Completely agree with your awesome thinking!

Have you ever done an interview with Ben about his rice paddies? I only ever heard an interview about it years ago when he had just started out. It seemed an incredible system and very productive for him. Specifically because this is a plant that takes its nutrients from the water, not the soil. Did you know that you can grow the rice a person eats with the same amount of nitrogen they put out in their urine?

Thanks Andrew. His speech is really gives more energy and motivation. We are also going to join that farming health community soon from this metropolitan city life to get that benefits 100% what he mentioned in that video.”Harvest ton of other benefits- Health, Happiness, well ness, piece of mind, strong body, wisdom, confidence, capacity, ability to help others. Those are yield of this system “

Nice Andrew !!

Wow. Thank you.

Thank you Mr. Falk.

Fabulous! Thanks.

Inspirational 💚🌍 storing water is everything Permaculture Design Course will increase your confidence. Food Forests are less labour intensive. Soil=BlackGold the online course is cheaper than you think!

Your content is amazing, thanks for it, hugs from Brazil

LOVE

This man is incredibly articulate. Loving the content 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Very inspiring!!

Ben Falk is swole! I need that seaberry and wood chopping action.

This is what proper land stewardship is all about!

Great video- drop a link for those clogs though...

Fossil fuels will be replaced long before they are depleted. Centuries of coal and now 10X more petrol since shale fracking/horizontal drilling tech has been perfected.

folks have become lost in forgetting that the planet provides all, even the silliest product one can imagine, also that it provides, air, and water freely, nothing would be here without it

Grab a copy of Ben’s book (if you haven’t yet) - absolutely worth it 💯

I like his attitude walk to walk not talk to talk

This entire monologue felt more enlightening than any ted talks

Amazing man, keep doing what you are doing.

Excellent content. Ben has been an inspiration to me along my permaculture path for over a decade. Always a pleasure to listen to him share ideas. Cheers Andrew!

Love this apart from the educative side of the video I'm getting more ideas on how to more design my place.

Very good 👍 👏 👌 😀

Good video. Ben Falk sounds like other permaculturists I've talked to - sane.

Wonderful!

Such an awesome sunny property :) Agri Land is bloody expensive in my country, farming land 40-45 km from tier 2 city center 'not even a metro city' - 900 sqyard cost $25000 Even in distant not well connected land, its around $5000

So inspiring ❤

🇨🇦I'm desperately trying to move back to rural land. I've had my food-forest plants in pots for 2yrs b/c I thought I'd be able to buy a home/land. Now I'm trying to rent & offer my farm labor skills

Wow, what a way to live! I thought the tree-rows in the field was a great idea

What a nice place to live in

Nice

Wonderful farm and subject. Not sure if this is useful, but for a subject as calm and meaningful as this, the successive and rapid jump cuts are difficult to keep pace with - it reminds me of when MTV really amped up their speed of visuals (back a number of years ago). You have such great footage, I think it would be more useful and helpful if you slowed it down somewhat. You have regenerative farmers attention with the subject matter already. Go well.

I live in Alberta Canada, I want to move to British Columbia, Canada into the wilderness and plant food producing trees for the potential event of Societies Collapse. Cool video.

rừng xanh mát quá

Wow this is my target

Thank but it is too short when is the full video coming.

❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

Hey man could really use some videos to help us get started in this subject to be honest. Hard to know what fruit/nut/berries are able to be planted near me (eastern PA). Need some guides!

Ben is a Legend

This should be in front of more eyeballs and young brains. Instead the YT algorithm is geared towards cheap money and drama.

I'm 100% in agreement with fighting corporatocracy and becoming as self-sufficient as possible. Much more skeptical about the value of nutraceuticals. Big Pharma is obscene but no one really wants to return to a pre-antibiotic and pre-vaccine world either.

I’m trying to make a donation but for some reason it’s not letting me for the last two days, I’ll keep trying

wow

Best part about fossil fuels is there's already a replacement. Biodiesel with be around as long as there are deep fryers at restaurants.

Signed up for your course, received confirmation, but what happened?

Yeah, serms like quite a piece of land to sustain handful of people. While the ideas seem to be very majestic, I don't believe it is scalable enough.

Hi ! i have a question : how effective would it be to grow hemp so you can make fiber and oil and animal food ( even human food )

I disagree with the first bit, since nuclear fusion isn’t a viable option yet, meaning that our greatest energy source is only in our future. However, we are transitioning through an extremely awkward time that will likely get worse and weirder before it gets better.

The only problem with permaculture remains that only people with land can do it. I mean really do it, like Falk here. The rest of us are out of luck. I hear people saying oh but you can grow on your balcony, your windowsill. Let's be clear - that's just not at all the same and will never yield more than what is put into it. So, it comes down to those who have land or who can access land can do this but not the others. Some people say we should abolish private property. Maybe that would solve the problem. But I think people need to control their breeding as well. It's not just a matter of enough land for people, but also enough of everything for the rest of Earth's inhabitants, making sure each species has not only sufficient numbers but space, food sources, migration corridors, etc. As long as we (humans) are taking the lion's share of everything, we are not practicing the principle of fair share. What we need is balance and that's what we don't have now.

Your thoughts on food and medicine sound a lot of ancient Chinese theories where every food is associated with medical/health properties. Is the difference that we now have scientific evidence?

This is a buzzword salad. I would love to live in a fantasyland of promises and free resources but reality hits hard. We don't have enough land to have one person tending multiple acres. Neutraceuticals are fun until you get really sick and need the strong intervention provided by modern healthcare.
