With a bit of planning, hard work and dedication you'll be able to grow most of the food for your family. One step at a time! If you ever have any specific questions you know where to find me. Good luck!

Hey Mar1video, thank you for your kind words. Much appreciated!

Thank you for the kind words! You can see other episodes here: m.kzfaq.info/love/3WNMbluZ33z-mTgOwG2JSg

Awesome! I'm happy to hear this. Have a vision/dream/goal, plan well, work hard and before you know it you can realize them. Good luck!

Thanks!

Haha bro!! Stuur even je nummer naar mijn email: moreno@thedutchfarmer.com

Great to hear that!

Hey Ronnie, thank you very much!

Hey Rover thank you! The involvement of the family is an important one for us. We're working as a team on our dreams ;)

Thank you for the kind words! She's already a great help ;) But she's free to do and go where she wants. The more people could feed their communities, the better!

Hey Tkz hasting, greetings from France;)

Hey thanks a lot for the kind words! :)

Hey Sonia thank you for your kind words! I really like the no dig method of growing annual crops. It just makes total sense! :)

Honestly, it was hard work in the beginning. Now it's such a pleasure to take a stroll in the garden. It's nearly not considered work anymore, even though we have to work;)

Hey Bruce thank you! They've got a great serie going on. It's an honor to be a part of it :)

Hey there, thank you! Good luck with your farm!

Thank you Jan!

@@TheDutchFarmer Ja ik vind het echt geweldig. Ik ga starten met microgroenten en als dat aanslaat uitbreiden met legkippen of market gardening. Maar dan zijn e toch alweer een paar jaar verder :-)

@@janr5608 veel succes Jan! Veel mogelijkheden in NL!

@@TheDutchFarmer Belgie ;-)

@@janr5608 Whoops! haha in België ook ;)

Hey Ibrahim, thank you!

That is great to hear! Enjoy the ride! :)

First learn the workload and marketing by working with a farmers. Then you can take land on rent. And best part you can take land in suburban areas 1200 sft - 1500 sft front or back yards that most ppl don't have time to maintain. Learn from "urban farmer Justin Stone" youtube

@@davelawson2564 Working for someone else first is definitely a good decision! It will give you an important reality check as well as experience. Renting as next option will allow you to get started on a small budget, just like what we did. Great feedback! Thank you for your input.

Hey Samer, thank you!

Hey there! Thank you!

Thank you!

Yes. They really did a great job!

Hey there! Thank you for the kind words. It helps in many ways. Just like you mentioned, in the heat of summer we can safely grow 'spring'-type crops like lettuces, radishes etc. without them bolting too quickly. (of course we still choose cultivars that can handle the heat better than others). But we've seen a reduction in irrigation need. Increased biodiversity. Protection from harsh elements including the sun, rain, wind, hail etc. We can work throughout the summer in the dappled shade without ever having the feeling we're going to faint of the heat. and a lot more benefits! Having said that, in early spring and autumn it does take the crops in some places under the trees a bit longer compared to the same crops in full sun. So it's not all positive. It also takes a bit more work in autumn to clean up the beds (after all trees shed their leaves). It might take a little longer to clean salad mixes grown under the trees in autumn. Anyways, the pros far outweigh the cons for us! Hope that helps.

Hey Micah, I have done a video on the tools we use here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r7t2pZN0lqyumnk.html Enjoy!

Ja het is anders dan mijn andere videos ;)

Hey thank you! We don't necessarily do visits, but our doors are always open from Monday to Friday 10:00 / 18:00 if you'd like to buy some produce;) What title? I don't understand....If you mean the song I have no idea. The video crew from Farmers Friend produced this video. You can ask them under this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fqeKqs1jmKrchnk.html

@@TheDutchFarmer I meant helping you on the farm. I start working now on a farm. And I would love to implement some of your techniques.

Hey Dominic Thank you! We currently don't take any volunteers. It's something we'd love to include at a later stage. But learning farming first hand is one of the best experiences you can get! There's many farms you could learn from, so keep searching and I'm sure you'll find a farmer who can help you out. All the best!

I love to put my hands in the soil, connect to nature, and keep things simple. The hard work is fulfilling;)

@@TheDutchFarmer Yes, but organic gardening need every help it can get to fight the "traditional"(chemical&GMO) way - at least close down in prices(including labour) and quantities

It's called a "Quick Cut Greens Harvester". You can find it here: farmersfriendllc.com/

Welcome to the channel! :) Our initial investment was about 15,000 US dollar. One thing I really want to do with this channel is to have complete transparency. So no secrets here;)

@@TheDutchFarmer Nice to know that. Definitely you have a new follower :) Maybe one day I will migrate from a kitchen garden to a market garden :) Who knows

@@SmallGardenQuest For many people it starts indeed from a small kitchen garden;) Good luck!

Hi there!

Hey Teodor. I'm actually Dutch ;) Live in France. English is like second nature to most Dutch people!

@@TheDutchFarmer Of course, --> the channel name, silly me! What do you think about this type of machine, would be helpful: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bMuWg9VpmLvDp40.html (besides being way too expensive)?

@@r3v0l98 I wouldn't want to work on that! I prefer my manual labor. I would probably fall asleep on it :)

Hey Walker S. We have a local tree cutting service in the area where we can source it for free. We can also let them deliver it at delivery cost. Otherwise there's also companies we can buy it from, but obviously we prefer the free one;). It took us quite a while to find a free source as there's not many of them available here in our area. Most wood chips are now being used for a newer wood stove system that runs on wood chips, so it's getting more difficult to source this for free!

@@TheDutchFarmer use the ash ! Plus food , organic waste from restaurants, market places , municipalities are great source of free compost, manure

@@davelawson2564 It's a lot of work to source all that organic matter from restaurants, market places etc. We have access to cow manure from local farmers. We bought in lots of compost from compost facilities in the area but in time want to use only the local cow manure!

@@TheDutchFarmer There is no one size fits all to this. whatever organic matter you can source for free/low cost , use it. Those closer to urban areas can get waste from restaurants , super markets etc ...and can use to feed pigs/chicken and rest composted.

We sold mostly to chefs, organic stores and distributors located in the cities at an hour drive from our farm. We've been developing a lot the on-farm sales and hope that this upcoming season we'll be able to do only on-farm sales. Lots of marketing, promoting and word of mouth.

Hey Farming Business TV. Maybe one day;)

How may I contact you

@@farmingbusinesstv9079 Either under these videos or via email: moreno@thedutchfarmer.com

Thanks Moreno thanks a lot for replying

Hey Moreno where are you from

We've bought and imported everything from Johnny's in the US. When we started there were not many tool companies supplying these in Europe. They're getting more abundant now. www.johnnyseeds.com/ "Bed roller - Jang seeder - 6-row seeder". Hope that helps!

Hey Mr. Bean. I mentioned in the intro that a small crew of Farmers Friend (an innovative market garden tool&equipment company based in the US) visited our farm last summer. This video is part of a larger series you can follow here: kzfaq.info/love/3WNMbluZ33z-mTgOwG2JSg

Hey! No we don't have Instagram...
