Hi Richard my name is marlon I've been growing veg for around 20 years and trying to give good food for my friends and family this video you have done is the best and most educational I have seen on RUclips I grew up watching river cottage with hugh fernley whittingstall my hero 😀 great video mate
I envy you. I want to start a market garden in my village but land is so expensive that it becomes impossible to get started. I know that the solution is to find out who owns plots of land but even buying the data from Land Registry in the UK often leads nowhere.
I have a couple of new options I'm going to explore and hopefully I can launch Go Farm officially 😇
@@go-farm start in your garden. Or start micro greens on your windowsills. If you are in the uk there’s a company called moles seeds they sell wholesale seeds for planting and also sprouting for micro greens you can be growing and harvesting within 10 days then all you need to do is go and knock on the doors of Cafes and restaurants in your town and take some samples for them to try your pick up customers within a day. There are no barriers to getting started apart from your own desire and attitude I wish you the bestOf luck. The best time to start your business was 10 years ago. The second best time to start your business is today
Thanks for doing this in English, I know it is a pain, but we non-bilingual English speakers truly appreciate you efforts from learning our language to perfecting it, so thank you.
He is native to England. He just happened to move to Sweden. Hence his English name Richard Perkins and his farms name ridgedale farm. Come on man
Thank you very much Richard for this very interesting interview. We are French living in an old ranch in Mexico, and for several months you have inspired us a lot for the development of our projects. A new job for us. Lots to learn, lots of mistakes, but it's exciting. If one day you want to come to Mexico (Yucatan), you are welcome to come to us 😊🙏
My binational (Mexico/USA) family recently laun
We recently launched a regenerative agriculture center in San Luis Potosi. We're interested to hear of any regenerative strategies you have adopted.
Your approach makes the best sense. Small scale, local, really organic, waste free. It's distressing that our government (Wales) doesn't support this approach. There are hundreds of small holders in Wales yet the agri support is targeted at the big boys to maintain unsustainable farming practices.
Thanks, great to hear so much sense.
‘Thanks on behalf of humanity’ absolutely!
Perfect interview
You are extraordinary Richard, you conveyed clearly, so much inspiring information in useful context. Thank you and for all you do
Can't wait to see Richard on Rogan 🙂
Yes indeed! 😁
Ommmgggg that would be mental !!!!! Soo good, we need that
Very informative. The geese and rabbits only needing grass....brilliant. book is on order.
The keyword in this video, quite to the end of it actually, is almost being overheard. "Rural Stewardship" really sums it up. Everything. Bravo to Richard (just visited Haide Hof near Hamburg) and I will keep on pursuing and hopefully finding my garden some time.
About 18 minutes in, and suddenly, even after watching countless videos from Ridgedale, made forcibly aware of what a daunting undertaking this is. The sheer number of skills, from fence building to timetabling, plus the hard physical work, then combined with a whole second set of skills in building and running a business, is certainly not for the fainthearted. Sounds like Richard's focus in his book is spot on. And how helpful it would be to have a couple of collaborators around you for the first couple of years at least, or you may drown.
Have hope, we are a conventional family farm. New generations of farmers are taking over, that care more about land stewardship. The part we manage is being turned over to regenerative.
Another job that is desperately needed in the states is small scale animal processing. We are trying to expand into that, because the older generations are getting out and nobody wants to work or learn the skills. We could easily supply grass-fed beef to our community, instead our local grocery store gets it from Australia.
Great interview we'll needed and all the comments are great and inspiring
We had to move our animals to a farm we live in town and they are cracking down on livestock so we had to move our mini town farm even though there was no run off because of these practices in town in a small yard
We have a farmer friend who was willing to take them in
But that farmer is hurt and needs help with his cows, Sheep, pigs
So we are helping and learning
We have goats ourselves but it's been cool learning how to milk a cow
It's a small farm with a little of everything working together
The farmer has been doing it all his life he grew up homesteading
So he has his ways but he likes the new ideas we are talking to him about that we hear on you tube like you, Greg and Joel and Justin
Charles etc
It's great talking it out and learning hands on
We are in Ontario and many big farms are tied up with the government too and stories about milk getting dumped because the truck is full to extra chickens getting culled but not eaten because its over the quota
Food being wasted to keep the prices at a steady number
I'm glad this farm is a mixed farm and very old but it looks good not over used not disturbed not tied up in government plans
57:27 lol agreed work, play and rest together with the animals and plants
When all the countries of the world are indebted to imf, and economic systems have become hostages, the humble farm no matter what swing it has got meets multiple needs of its owner long before it meets the market needs. You should see Richards pastures, orchards, and water landscapes! in his videos he shows it perfectly clear that covid didnt make him feel uncomfy in his space. And freezers! He seems to be prepared to a dozen quarantines in a row. Less store visiting, less fuel burning, less footprint on the ecosystem. Thank God here in Ukraine homesteading is as natural as breathing.
thank you very much for sharing this feeling so refreshed 😊
This is soo worthwile (attentionworty). Thank you, Richard!
Love the longer form conversational style! Would pay to see you on Joe Rogan Experience...
You 100% inspired me Richard! Im so close to being on the land fulltime i can taste it! Im dead keen on raising pastured broilers and like yourself interested in finding alternative solutions for feed and breed.
53:37 Richard is a rock star to me
interesting discussion, thank you for posting
Yesss, that's the way to go forward (from 40:00 min on). But I guess, to convince people to switch to tree crops like chestnut, there need to be products that are better than the existing ones. Like a very tasty chestnut bread.
awesome, brother.
Thanks for the information 🥂
Wonderful ☺️
Great thanks, very interesting.
38:00 film recommendations: The Power of Community, and The coconut Revolutions.
41:00 book recommendation Sally Fallon, Nourishing Traditions.
14:00 well put
It's a symphony!
Absolute legend
Hello. Do you have connections to or advice on how to become regenerative farm sitters? That seems ideal for me at this stage.
I have your books and am looking forward to the next master class. Thanks for what you do.
50:15 BASED
The book link is not working.
For some reason I'm not hearing audio on this video... Not sure if it's my device or what
I’m hearing it fine
I'm hearing it fine as well.
Thanks.. Must be my phone then
Ah it's working now :)
Hi Richard, where can I buy your farm product?
By the sound of the farm's model, you'd need to be in his part of Sweden. Ridgedale sells to their local area.
Hello! I'm from Ukraine. Planned to start my first season of monetized farming this year. But because of the war, everything was canceled. And so I saw your technology... We have a lot of free land. But the processing technologies that I see do not suit me at all. Your technology for growing vegetables is interesting. What are its main advantages, apart from the absence of weeds and product purity? I haven't watched all the videos yet, maybe I missed something.. )
- Independence , from fossil energy sources and financial sector .
- Sustainable environment management - you take care of your soil , build it , - generally Sweden soil is of bad quality comparing to Ukraine
By 'technology' I wonder if you mean 'methods'? The equipment at Ridgedale is certainly creative and proprietary, but is not necessarily sophisticated in its engineering. Its sophistication is in the land management philosophy and business model. As he discussed, they found that broiler chickens and eggs were their transitional business. They figured out how to build the total fertility of the land on that business, and are now interested in continuing something that is more sustainable on the momentum they built. The best place you can start is to look at how your neighbors/town get their nutrition and work with that in the short, if not long term. Then ask how you can provide that and rebuild the land without going into great debt. It might mean a commitment to meat product or something besides the grain Ukraine is known for.
I hope the best for you, your home, and your return to farming. Slava Ukraine.
I have builta100 acre organic farm for50 years.....little or no support...goverment interference......goodluck
Where is your farm located Bob?
43:00 - Why did Neolithic humans settle upon grasses to develop into the food crops we know today instead of trees like sweet chestnut? Grasses can grow pretty much anywhere but trees are more demanding - that has to be an important reason. Second, grains can be harvested in a few months, trees take many years. It is not clear how much of a planning horizon these humans possessed, cognitively speaking. Nomadism may be another reason.
Your endless talk
does not do the job.
Show us some diy projects.
Your thought of mind is not that interesting.
If this man is not interesting, you have not been listening. As for projects, watch his videos and others like it. Believe me, there are plenty of projects if you were really interested. In the time you wrote your insults, you could have searched online for Richard's projects. Simple. Good luck and I hope you find what you are looking for....
@@JohnDoe-qr2cp I made a slightly critical comment, nothing disrespectful, and hey, my comment disappeared. It seems RP is no longer making regular videos, this one is actually from two years ago, first published on Micha Busch's channel.
@@tzenophile No worries, sometimes some video just land wrong. I just find what RP has to say mind blowing and no other has matched him in the scope he addresses. Did you see the video where he tells why he is toning it down? Even there is lessons to be found! Thanks for the name drop, I'll check out Mischa's channel - looks interesting.
@@JohnDoe-qr2cp I do find some of RP's videos inspiring (or I would not be here) but there are many other excellent 'tubers (lame pun, sorry), like Charles Dowding or Huw Richards, not to mention Canadian Permaculture Legacy or RED Gardens. You may know them already, if not check them out! Cheers,
@@tzenophile Haha love the pun...completely went over my head! I do know those channels, except the Canadian one. I also try to sniffle out some of the smaller channels that get no love from YT, esp with flowers. Not small but interesting perhaps - Simplify Gardening and Terrace Garden Ideas. Small - Stephanie Hafferty and Dr OBi's Garden. I love the crazy originality of some of these people...
I noticed that the farm on the beach video you uploaded 2 yrs ago was taken down,the video where there was a large rock near a nature preserve,why was it taken down?!@richard perkins
There is way to much processed foods on the grocery shelves,
