@Hayden Jeremy instablaster =)
@Orion Travis i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Orion Travis it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much, you really help me out :D
@Hayden Jeremy you are welcome xD
What a nice guy. Super humble but with vision.
From across the pond in the U.S. i love it to what this young man in Germany is doing, and the world needs a lot more of it, so thank you Rich for another great video, If only those walls could talk
So many abandoned farms and fields in Europe that could use regenerative agriculture. So many beautiful houses are in ruins.
What a cool dude. He's so calm and deliberate and unfazed by all of the work in front of him. (I loved that he was so immersed in speaking German that he struggled at times to find the words in English)
OUTSTANDING! What an amazing place, and how fortunate to be found by someone who is restoring it and returning the farm to a regenerative organic farm!!! Very, very inspiring. Thank you for sharing!
Incredible opportunity for Jasper, really exiting to see historical properties being given new life instead of being pushed over and out to make room for the next subdivision. I agree with Jasper, "the right people with the right motivation" best of luck and I'm sure there will be plenty of willing and skilled individuals to lend a hand.
I love seeing people working on such a large scale project. Would be great to see where he is today with the house, farm, poultry and trees!
There is an update from 2020 called "HELLE BAUER Second year update with Jasper de Wit (part 1).
Fantastic! What a beautiful place and tremendous opportunity. Love to see stories of young people investing in historic properties. Regenerative housing as well as agriculture.
The story of this property would make for a Great RUclips channel. More power to you.
I LOVE this enterprise. The ingenuity of the chook house is cool. His hard work is very evident. Such a tidy and clean operation he has set up. Nice work.
I remember watching this when it first came out... re-visiting today for some reference material for pre-season farm planning.
Great to see that young people down here are doing such a great things !!!!congratulations!!!!
This is AMAZING! Thank you for showing us the houses & barns also. So much history on this property and a reminder of lost culture, not only in Germany but other places as well. I'd love to see a follow-up video in a year to see what has been done.
love seeing these start-up videos from your interns richard, thanks
Hello Rob

Intern ? Dude owns his own land ...
Wow! What a great opportunity for this young man. Really it seems the options are endless with this property.
Excellent work. Wish you and your partner all the very best of luck. Please keep us updated on the progress.
I've helped build straw bail houses with mud/straw render, and it's a slow process.
He would benefit from starting up a teaching center, and getting extra hands on board.
All in good time.
I can absolutely see this farm becoming a community hub.
Bless his cotton socks!!

How very kind of you to translate for us....thank you.
What an amazing place. I am really enjoying these videos of people's startups! 👍
Stunningly inspiring. Wish had known about this 40 yrs ago. I had a dream...
Do some bits at home or find a space Cheryl. :)
He is such a lucky bloke to have found that, have the resources, the right age and skills... I'm from Cologne Germany and would love to visit and lend a hand for some days
Thank you so much for these types of videos! Gets the ideas rolling
What my dreams are made of! So happy that the property and buildings have come full circle and will be a true working farm again.
Wow! Cool permaculture/market farm plan. I also love the ancient historic....(hotel/resort??? Possibility). It’s obviously a huge task and risk. It looks like you have the network of people to make it happen. Wishing you and yours the very best. 🌈😃🤙
Steinkauz? That's the little owl which is indeed rare in Germany. So great to see what this guy is doing, all the best and good luck with the project.
Yeah thats the one! Thank you
You're welcome. I'm very much into birds, so it's so encouraging to see farmers like yourself taking the welfare of them into account in connection with farming.
@@Jasper2090 can we get an update?
What a fabulous job from master to intern!
Vision + Knowledge/Skills = Success. Please do follow his garden market, chicken farm, and housing projects a few times each year. I'd love to see how it develops.
Why did you divide knowledge by skills? 🙃
What a fascinating video! Great work. Congratulations on your efforts so far. You deserve success and will attract help from others as you go. Blessings from Northern Ireland 🙏
Beautiful...What a lot of work, done and yet to do. Quite an adventure!
If anyone is planning to make the belt system, here's an idea for you. Make the axle ever so slightly bulge in the middle, that'll make the belt want to ride in the middle of it. Saves all the hassle of the wondering belt.
Wow... very impressive! It takes a young man with a lot of energy and good vision... wonderful opportunity for him and family! Thank you for sharing this... gives me hope that I might start something for me in the States... albeit on a much smaller scale. I love seeing what others are doing... and how they adapt your ideas to meet their needs.
WELL DONE VERY IMPRESSIVE
HAS INSPIRED ME TO TRY GET MY OWN PIECE OF LAND NOW
Hello Sean
I can see the place next door being renovated and used to house interns or future seasonal staff.
Best of luck from Canada, you will do amazing things over there :D
The home remodeling will never end
Awesome project. What a house. Enjoy!
Thanks, very encouraging.
Amazing. And yes. Please more of this. This empowers my to take the next steps!!
One word, Amazing!
Awesome 🎉 work!!!!! Thanks!
11:30 those kind of meadows are called "Streuobstwiesen" - Meadows sprinkled with fruit trees as literal translation. Often these are hardy not too high fruit trees with smaller apples, pears that are used for cider, vinegar and liqupor production. One cannot use the large tractors there, but since the farmers often used them to produce ciders they were left standing. Meanhwile they are getting subsidies to compensate for the difficulty in working the land with machines (at least it is like that in Austria). It looks beautfilly in spring when the meadows are sprinkled with blossoming trees.
But could also be fruits for humans to eat. Traditionally they were not fed to animals. Pig pasturing is not common (safety risks if a street is nearby). Chicken could work or even well behaved cows. Of course if the plums or apples already ferment I am not sure if they are good for cows - if they eat too many of them.
Thank you Richard. Impressive Jasper!
Wow! Just awesome! What energy?! Very inspiring. Everything is beautiful and that house is a dream! 👍
Awesome video --- Instead of the Patreon you should do a "travel" fund for 20-30 dollars a month you could do a monthly travel video and do a Q&A for the people funding your travels at the farms? just a thought
Fantastic video. Jasper has his work cut out for him but the farm has such great potential. Thanks for sharing Richard.
Argo-tourism would be great for that place.
Amazing farm. Wishing him lots of luck.
Wow awesome vid
What an adventure! So much fun exploring
Thankyou for sharing 😁💖👍
Fantastic, really good to see the progress made in such a short time.
Great video and amazing place
Very informative .I am trying to develop 135 Acres of Farm based on Poly face farming methods in Rich Valley Edmonton Alberta .I have 18 cows calfs operation on 65 Acres and 70 Acres of wheat crop this year. I have plan to start chicken , egg layers and goats from next year.
AWESOME eggmobile!!!
Awesome project! It´s remarkable how much progress you have made in such a short time. Good luck!
Watched again is inspirational, wish you all the success, amazing job great adventure.
Awesome project! Great job.
Thanks for the IG link in the description... Looking forward to see the progress!
Love it! great post Richard!
Best of luck. I really like this.
/from sweden
hey richard am in Africa ,am interested in this farm .amazing just send more updates
Richard great to see this, are these guys anywhere near the Czech Border? Czech repbulic has a very large and vibrant Asparagus industry/festival, etc.....
17:00 the chicken mobile - he had of course the old hay waggon that he could use as very solid base. So that makes thta helps withthe difference between his costs (3k for materials) and double or more for a manufactured version (estimate Richard 6k - 7 k). Of course for a person with DIY skills (and the proverbial German engineering coming through) there might be enough vintage carts that can be bought for little money.
This is awesome. Super inspiring and fresh! Thank you for taking this work on!
That's just amazing, but the title could be a €5 million farm start up :-)
Hello
Cool and young Agri Entrepreneur man.
What a cool project. So much work!!!
Hope you'll go back and visit him in a few years to see how it's coming along!
Jasper should grew GREEN asparagus. it does not need peeling and is delicious. (and I think a little less work to grow for the farmer). Also a VERY attractive crop to get people into the farm shop. Thinking one family member picking up the supply for a few other families.
Amazing
I just love it.
Great video about a great project.
what an amazing farm. Looking forward to how it goes
Terrific video Richard
Please do a follow up, Richard, please... want to see how things are developing with this place :-)
Good luck! Doing an awesome job.
Would really like to pop past Jaspers place on my way home to Hungary has he got a web site
Great vid, love from India
He is using the exact method I am going for. Cardboard and compost on top! I just hope I can find some where to live as I am about to become homeless here in Sweden.
Great work 👌🌹🥰
Beautiful, thank you very much.
I'm in the process of starting up a market gardening in Germany myself and I struggle greatly with the European restrictions concerning nitrate/fertilization. I've been told that the 170kg nitrate per hectare per year equal to not even 2kg good compost per square meter! This would be like dusting the beds with compost! How is it possible to add a couple of wheelbarrows every year in the starting years, or even every other year (to the heavy feeders) like described in JM Fortiers book? Since Richard is too busy to answer his video comments (which i totally understand!), could someone please help me with this please? I would really appreciate the advice. Thank you. - FANTASTIC VIDEO Richard, thanks sooo much for this! I'm gonna visit this farm for more advice about specific German regulations etc. This is sooo helpful, THANK YOU!! =)
it is a general restriction, valid for all farmers including veg but there are exceptions for certain sectors and farms (see comment above)
I asked myself the same question but it turns out that if you are farming under 2 hectares of vegetables, you are not subjected to the requirement of "nutrient bookkeeping" (Nährstoffvergleich) of the Düngeverordnung (see § 8 Abs. 6 DüV for details). The nutrient bookkeeping/Nährstoffvergleich is the basis on which the 170 kg N/ha*a restriction will be controlled by the authorities. You are still subjected to the DüV but if you are not obliged to the nutrient bookkeeping, the only basis for the authorities - in my understanding - would be receipts of compost, manure etc. that you bought for the farm.
Concerning the 2 kg compost equivalent: This number would only be more or less correct if all the nitrogen in the compost would be plant available. This is not the case though since the nutrients in compost are not 100 % plant available after application. For this reason, the DüV calculates with 3 % to 5 % nitrogen availability in the first year of application. This means if you put down 2 kg of compost per square metre, this equals about 20 grams of total nitrogen (the German compost and soil association VHE calculates with 10 kg N/t fresh matter for bio waste based compost) BUT you actuallly put down 0.6 to 1.0 grams (or 0.5 grams available N per kilo) of nitrogen that year if you consider the availability. According to the regulation you could put down a maximum of 17 grams of plant available nitrogen per square metre per year which equals about 17 kg of compost instead of 2 kg.
For anyone who farms more than 2 ha of vegetables, hops, wine or strawberries in Germany, there is still an exception for compost: Instead of applying 170 kg N every year, you can also apply 510 kg N/ha once every 3 years (see § 6 Abs. 4 DüV). So if you were to set up a large no-dig market garden operation and form the beds like they did at Ridgedale, this still comes down to about 70 l/m2 (with 0,73 t/m3 compost density; 10 kg N/t compost and 10% of this go into the calculations according to DüV) if I'm correct. For comparison: at Ridgedale they used 53 l/m2 to set up the beds of the market garden (see Richard's video about sustainability of annual vegetable production minute 08:00). This is all without guarantee of course. If you want to make sure, call your local authorities. They will know the exceptions and regulations for sure.
Oh thx a lot. Could we chat anywhere in German? Maybe FB or something?
Yes thanks a lot. This makes more sense at all.
Great video! Like the egg mobile. Would like to know what was used for the egg belt drum.
Would love to see a farm update. :)
Any follow up video to chart progress?
Wow, the honesty in self service eggs doing well. Not here in the US.
Disagree. Depends where you are in the US. I live in Florida but was recently in upstate NY in Otsego County. Pulled over to a little self-service stand and found some nice products and left my money as expected. What was rare was not that I actually left the money but rather that I had cash on me.
That house is so cool
The pre-war Germans had a deep knowledge of low-input agriculture. The
permaculture movement would definitely benefit if more of that knowledge
got reintroduced and translated. Although Jasper looks like he will be busy
for a while on other projects.
Interesting, I can read German, do you have any pointers? Much obliged.
No titles I know of. I am just sure that there's someone potentially as inspirational as Andre Voisin. Allan Savory andJoel Salitin's father were inspired by "The Productivity of Grass". Salitin's father started to rotate his cattle after reading the book.
I did read a translation from German about destructive distillation from 1910. The author predicted that the center of the chemical industry would move to Bohemia or the US because of the price of the basic raw material in Germany was too high. The price was up to a shilling per ton delivered to the factory. The base of the famous Bavarian chemical industry was of course tree roots! After the Lumber Jacks did their work, teams of men would set up tripods and enormous tackle to rip the stump from the ground. Then they would drive a many oxen team wagon and lower the root ball.
The best I can suggest is to look at the library catalog and sort by date published. College or perhaps National libraries would be the best bet. Nice old fashioned search terms like "husbandry" might help. After that bibliographies in old books might point to older influencial books.
I think it was Sir Howard of "the compost school" fame that mentioned that unnamed German authors didn't think you could maintain soil fertility without 1/6th of the land in pasture. I'd love to hear the reasoning.
If this guy is reading comments... Can I suggest you turn that place into a bed and breakfast? A little Inn or hotel would make you some serious money.
Awesome, super inspiring!
-thank you both!
Honestly, it would suit you better if you'd mention the farm of Jasper properly in the video bookmarks.
Welll i do something similar but can i ask how is this level of stable profitable? I bought 20 caravans and old trailers which i build chicken coops out of myself over the years cost me 1000€ each as a whole. I still barely make a profit on eggs its still just a hobby.
23:00 Hühner machen das weed management in den Spargelfeldern. Amazing!!!
larolimu: indeed, but they also eat beetles and bugs. Hens are like little doctors, helping the asparagus stay healthy. I think Jasper has good ideas and plans.
super thanks a lot for the content
Really wonderful!
Cool building maybe you could give us updates
hii Richard
where is this farm located ? is it possible for us to visit it ?
i am living in Germany, i have being adoring permaculture and agriculture.. wanted to do permaculture myself , small scale like chicken and fruit trees.. something that is not so laborious ..
can you ask the young farmer permission to visit his this summer ? or autumn ? just a short visit.. no need what big preparation.. it could help me out as well..
thanks

Thanks for the share!
hi so if i understood well, in order to prepare the land to make the beds, he did not till at all and just added cardboard over the grass with compost on it¿? thanks
Yes, just like Richard did in Sweden! =)
Amazing stuff.
LOL> just after I wrote this, looked down, so many people use the exact same word. Amazing. Coincidence?
Great Video
HELP!
I need to purchase meat rabbits in germany and dont speak german and I am having a very difficult time finding things on the internet. I would like to buy meat rabbits that are purebreds. What are the common breeds in europe that I can get in germany. I am interested in breeds such as new zealand, standard rex, champagne d'argent, etc.
Hi how are you?
Are you selling rooster and hen if yes please let me know thanks
Where is your work force? Very impressive farm.
04:31 well done, Richard.
Do you speak German and translated it for him, or did you know the english word for it from his description?
Umstellungszeit? Changeover period
I am wondering if he could get some cultural/historical funding for the building..
In Ireland, dont they call cider that isnt actually cider....CIDONA...he must remember that, Bulmers make it in Clonmel, county Tipperary.
