I sold Jerusalem Artichokes for the first time this year. Absolute crazy productivity and way more Interest than I had expected. I sold them $15 a pound and had great success for the amount of effort put in.

@MistyMeadowsPermacultureFarm 3 года назад

Awesome! I'm growing some for the first time this year. Good to know!

I have a friend that works at the local college, wanting to teach the alternative ways to farm. Guess what the answer was to that? I knew right away who funds the colleges and therefore, what is taught. The movement needs to spread before we're better accepted. The market for the perrenial food plants isn't big enough to depend on that for income. A great sideline, yes! Rob if want some jerusalem artichoke, come see me this fall. I have a small patch and I'm sure willing to share with you.

Where are you? I am in calgary and would like to have some for next year’s planting ! :)

The permaculture nurseries where I shop (edibleacres, black creek farm and nursery, others in the Northeast) sell out of virtually everything each season. I think there's a good market for perennial edibles, nitrogen fixers, and related plants. They ship bare-root twice a year and sell mostly online.

Thanks for the info!

@happyhobbit8450 3 года назад

Whole corral systems sounds intriguing I could probably dig up the fruit trees growing everywhere here & sell them but I think propagating them within my property would be more of an investment -- increasing the tree count on my place :)

My partner and I are working toward a mobile slaughter business and an on sitesmall scale slaughter business. USDA facilities are really only scaled for large producers and often take most of the "profit" out of animal husbandry. From small producers I've talked to, animal integration into perennial tree crops is difficult because the bottleneck of processing.

@growforkeeps4432 3 года назад

That's wild that you're having a hard time finding jerusalem artichoke seed stock. Have you checked an Asian grocery store? I just bought a small pack of the tubers and put them in a pot. It works just fine! Lol. As long as it's warm, they'll grow so fast they might knock you out on the way up. 😅

@cupbowlspoonforkknif 3 года назад

Great tip, I'll give this a try next year

@VickiSchwarz 3 года назад

I wonder if they would give you the tuber source of you needed it for an acre. I didn't know about this vegetable as a swap for potato

@growforkeeps4432 3 года назад

@@VickiSchwarz they're very different from potatoes in both flavor and, um... effects on the body. Lol. They have a very high level of inulin, which can cause gas and bloating for a lot of people (also why you sometimes hear them referred to as "fartichokes" 😅). Also note that they spread super aggressively (invasive plant), so it doesn't take very long for you to multiply your seed stock. If I were you, I'd plant them in containers or raised beds so they don't take over.

@stevebreedlove9760 3 года назад

I've always got my seed from the farmers market. My issue is with gophers and dry summers. :)

@stevebreedlove9760 3 года назад

Thanks as always Rob for the insights.

@ziga9 3 года назад

What about actual tech apps and/or online tools that can be created to help speed up or advance the processes?

@cupbowlspoonforkknif 3 года назад

I'd love to team up with someone to build farming tools. I have a 3d printer, design experience and training as a machinist(metal working).

@stevebreedlove9760 3 года назад

Check out Open Source Ecology. I think they've become defunct, but the may still have blueprints online.

@Maelstroma 2 года назад

My problem is not ideas, ideas i have growing en masse ... where I'm stuck is how to monetize it... like there's no guidelines for permaculture consult or design fee...i can't find per hour on maintenance for gardening either, or do i just use landscaping fees as a comp? Help? 😳🙏🧘‍♀️😄

For a zone 3A cold climate (winnipeg) what would be a top 5-10 list for a perennial seed nursery/garden?

@jnaramusic 4 дня назад

Hi, for someone who's completely new to this sustainable lifestyle. Is it worth pursuing a bachelors degree in Horticulture? or is it something I can learn hands-on by taking a certificate course while experimenting in my backyard? My future goal would be to do it as a career

@JoelKSullivan 3 года назад

I'd love to start consulting but I feel like I don't even know where to start

@cupbowlspoonforkknif 3 года назад

Pick something really specific and start there. "Jerusalem Artichoke guy" or "potato tower guy" then once you have a reputation, slowly expand to other categories. I was the "horse manure guy" because I sold it for 4 years. I made good money. I didn't even have a truck.

@VickiSchwarz 3 года назад

@@cupbowlspoonforkknif how did you sell manure without a truck. In my local area there is a farmer getting rid of half rotted horse manure. I have been thinking about grabbing what I can to compost

@stevebreedlove9760 3 года назад

I'm in an urban context and I have been seriously considering square foot gardening certification as well as mastering container veg. It's difficult to get people to go all in on permaculture because it is a fairly disruptive lifestyle change for those who arent committed. But with the pandemic and inflation, just about everybody is interested in growing vegetables at home

Love the video! I’m currently going out on my own in carpentry and building in Sydney australia. My goal is to be builder that hones in on everything permi. Surely building and construction is already a perfect for a permaculture business. I’d just need to flip the ethics behind the current status quo. Are you seeing a niche for this kind of construction in residential areas?
