Wishing you all the best!

One thing I really try to highlight is teaching people to embrace their culture and heritage through the Traditional Trades. Why? Because this ties them to the natural world immediately around them. Throughout Europe, for example, hedgerows have existed for a thousand years or more, and while people will claim that they're "manmade", we forget that those hedgerows served not just as a 'wildlife corridor', but were a valuable asset for the people living there. The people used the wood to heat their homes, sure, but also to make thousands of different things they used every day. The woodsmen would care for the hedgerows, keeping them healthy, and all the wood they removed was then used to make baskets, buckets, troughs, chairs, hurdles, gates, fences, cups and cupboards, doors and tables, etc. Even better, because there was so much regional variation in style, people had a wonderful "sense of place". Their craftsmanship set them apart from the people right down the road who made things similar.... but just a little different. Today, whole libraries about these regional variations are written by archeologists and collectors. We talk about the ecosystem and too often forget that we're a part of that system. We're supposed to be the stewards carefully safeguarding the system, preserving it so it can be passed down to future generations. Sadly, people listened to the snakes in the grass who promised them better and cheaper, never thinking that everything comes at a cost. Today, you can buy a mass-produced rake made in some factory on the other side of the world, shipped thousands of miles to a store near you.... but you can't find a local craftsman making rakes from local materials for local customers. Think about what that does to the ecosystem as well as the local economy. We complain about how there are not good jobs anymore, even as we work overtime to drive those jobs out of our lands. Fixing the situation is really pretty simple, but I don't think it can be truly fixed so long as people don't feel a tangible connection with the land around them.

Homesteading is not “invading”

Very clear instructions! Thanks! 🎉

Nice job and demonstration, Charlie. I have picked up some tips for my future grafting from what you have shown.

Enjoy listening to this

Great video. Is that a single bevel knife or double bevel?

Thanks for. Posting, how was your success rate? I wasn't sure if you should pollinate the female flowers when they are green and barely opened. Or if you should wait for them to turn purple. Can you please let me know? I am in that predicament right now. Thank you.

I love that your puppy follows you around. That's a good puppy. Otherwise, glad I found this NOFA channel - will be helpful for me!

Looks pretty cold today

Interesting teaser. Much deeper pools of knowledge to explore.

can scion wood be not dormant? Eva

When is best to take cuttings, and when is best to do grafting?

Excellent overview of original environmental practices, effects on land & people across the nation

beautiful place thanks

Why is the transcript wrong?

Hi, what is in the non gmo bird feed?

Whip and tongue method he called it.

Persimmon vs PawPaw. FIGHT!

Mute that boomer that decided to mess with the pots during an online meeting, ffs.

3rd! ;)

Wow this was posted fast. Thank you

Is it,ok to leave the sugar out?

Question, can I not use the sugar? What's the point of adding poison in the natural God given food. Sugar is neurotoxin/poison man-made. Can I use honey instead?

Love watching this

Is it ok if i don't add sugar?

Boost pawpaw awareness!!!!!

I just moved to Kentucky from Oregon. I'm really getting into these Paw Paws, have discovered a bunch in my woods after buying a couple of trees of course. Haven't tried them yet, can't wait! Do you know which variety/ies grow wild around here? I notice they don't all look the same (some have lots of small leaves, others big. Most sprawl out like a bush). Thanks

Great video. Will this create self-fertile trees?

great interview

I’ll volunteer for Charlie’s pawpaw events.

A landscape architect at environmental conference few years ago said if it is a planted meadow you would win the battle with the town. I forget his name but he creates meadows for property owners.

Good job! I will try this method

Thank you so much this is very helpful!

Looking forward to getting more involved in the near future

Great and informative. Thanks.

This is so exciting to have heard. Please post more sites we can find help.

Great info Charles! Found this page following your paw paw overview on the farm (we are enjoying them btw!)

hoping i can get more involved with the community soon

Thank you for this.It was very informative!

Great video 👍

This is good, especially the grafting examples. Thanks!

I like the 2x4 method its better than cutting your finger.

Just starting out on my journey and I had long conversations with Devin with you guys... He put me in contact with Mat at hard cider homestead and we also have been talking... I'm just laying infrastructure for my farm. I too will be leasing land (14 acres) next year starting in May time frame and my primary starting point will be pasture raised turkey. NOFA has been my go-to resource so far.. I still have so many questions about the logistics of website building, insurance and land lease procedures... I have started with my LLC "THORNSTEAD" permaculture Farm I would love to talk to someone about technical stuff as mentioned above... keep up the excellent content it's an amazing community I have fallen into Let's bring back the GARDEN state!

Love this!

Nice 👍

Kudos to Jim’s presentation. Wholeheartedly endorse the view about misrepresentation of hydroponics as organic, as well as usda continuing policies vis a vis large scale conventional & organic farming operations. Not least is the fact that organic consumers are deceived by false information. Despite the hype about changing policies that mitigate climate change & preserve the health of environment, subsidies in many forms continue to pour into large private & corporate farm coffers. This is talking from both sides of the mouth and misuse of public funds. Lastly, educating the public about wholesome food starts with the young generation brought to the farm or encouraging local gardens by municipalities, where possible.
