In 25 minutes, this guy harvested the raw feed, fed the pigs with well prepared food, let the chickens out, fed them, called the cow, fed her, milked the cow, prepared new feed afor the next day and gave us a full walk around tour of the farm animals and setup! In less than an hour! Respect 💪

She walked to the milking platform without limping 2. She stepped up on the platform effortlessly 3. She never held a hoof in the air as cows do when they're in pain 4. She stood still while being milked without constantly shifting her weight around 5. She walked all the way to the shed with no issues and even fought to eat some pig feed which shows spunk and health 6. She walked in uneven ground with no balance issues You're comment is completely wrong, ignorant and needlessly defaming.

Hello. My husband & I are starting our farm in Uganda, East Africa. We are passionate about healthy, organic food and stewardship of land, animals. This is very educative. Thank you. We do not have any permaculture farmers in our country so we are relying on people like you as mentors. Thank you.

Out of all the farms and homesteads I watch, this is by far the most interesting video and so informative I felt like a sponge watching this. Just so much knowledge and I just am so here for it!
My dream is to be a farmer and I’ve watched 1000s of videos. This is literally my favorite farming video and my inspiration. Whenever I do start farming it will be modeled off of your farm.
Really like the setup with the duckweed pond that doubles as a waste treatment pond, and the pigs being able to eat the cattails is very clever. Good thinking. However, Sophie badly needs a visit with the hoof trimmer. Those rear claws are hella overgrown and her fronts aren't much better.

@@r.douglasmclean440 you really just made yourself sound dumb for free... look up the hoof GP and just a quick google search will tell you word for word : "A cow hoof is cloven, or divided, into two approximately equal parts, usually called claws. Approximately 95% of lameness in dairy cattle occurs in the feet. ..."
@@kurochan61 Sorry Pagi but I don't need to look up the definition on Google to know that no one here in Canada calls cattle hooves "claws" . I actually raise cattle and have for over 40 years. Like I said, there is nothing serious going on with this cows' hooves, she is 100% healthy. This cow is NOT lame by any stretch of the imagination. You can go troll somewhere else where perhaps you do know what you are talking about.
she's an older cow so that length is not actually that bad. she showed no lameness. I'm sure she's due for a trim but being a keyboard warrior doesn't really help the animal now does it? its not gonna make it happen any faster lol you just want to feel righteous but you just are rude.
That jersey girl is a beauty, my first time here watching your content and I love your farm life. You are really doing a fantastic job farming like my grandparents did! You really brought back some great memories. Please stay safe and keep doing what your doing.
Takota, your permaculture system isn't talked about enough. Amazing design is an understatement! This really lit a fire under me to dig deeper into the design of my property.
I'm a total suburban couch potato retired little old lady but I sure wish I was a couple of miles from your operation and had a contract for some of your pork and maybe some eggs. We now live in a semi-rural area but suburbia is infiltrating fast. There are some die hard serious farmers doing similar small holdings like yours, though, around here before the condos mow them down. One woman raising pigs explained how she had an arrangement with her neighbor who has an apple orchard where she lets her pigs eat windfalls to their hearts content for 2 months before whenever she slaughters. We met her at our area Farmers Market. Unfortunately, she'd spoken for all her meat for this Fall or our freezer would be full later on. Now, watching your operation I really regret not getting in touch with her earlier. I have always joked with people whenever someone makes a crack about the "Wprld's oldest profession". My correction is, "No, it's farming!" Who's right? Now, I couldn't help but notice that your gorgeous Jersey milk cow has a great need of a pedicure. . . does she get some hoof care at least once a year? My couch potato farming experise comes from watching the You Tube hoof trimmers too! Just what you need, right? Actually, I'm just curious--all your animals look so healthy and content, I'm being ridiculous.
Now u have caused me alot of work!!...lol...I am wanting to start a business like this...but now love your whole set up and your feed ideas🙃🙂very very interesting...thank u very much.
This farming practice is absolutely superb and environmentally friendly. I wish I could do the same on my 40 hectares. Unfortunately we face several additional challenges of which crime and farm murders are the biggest problems. Nevertheless we are proud South Africans and your video is an inspiration to us all. Thank you very much. I will despite our situation dive deeper into this type of farming and overcome any nonsense in my way.
THAT was AMAZING lots of great ideas and information. I am starting a homestead ranch in MIssouri. Pork is our main animal for us personally and to do some products with. Love your system.
Excellent! I am impressed how well organized and intelligent your farm is as well as clean, organic and sustainable. This is the future of farming! Thank you for sharing!
@@morganthomas9634 no animals being exploited here. I see happy, healthy flocks that are being well cared for and generating nourishment for people. we're all grist for the mill in the end. no one life form is better or worse, therefor eating only plants does not make you superior, just potentially malnourished. is that why vegans are so angry all the time?
@@nottheone582 So many things wrong with what u said 1) this video is made to act as if animal farming isn’t evil it fails to show the brutal killing of these innocent animals at a fraction of their natural lifespan. 2) By saying ‘we all die eventually’ does this mean I can kill anyone I wish or kill someone’s dog because ‘everyone does at some point”. 3) plants do not feel pain therefore it is far more morally superior to eat things that aren’t sentient. Unlike animals who have the ability to experience pain and suffering.
Man, you're doing hard work and I love seeing you enjoying your job at the same time. There is no rewarding than working closer to nature. I am ready to jump from the rat race to permaculture.
Takota Coen, you and your farm are setting the standard for sustainable farming & permaculture. You have a way with teaching but what stands out for me is the exceptional integrity you live by. I wish I had known about Coen Farm while my daughter was attending University of Alberta, Augustana campus in Camrose - it's so close to your farm. But I'm prepared to make the drive from Cochrane! Love all of your content - keep it coming 🤩
Wow I really loved this video... I make sourdough bread along with a lot of fermented veg. and fruits. So glad to see him giving his milk cows a nice break. Really just being kind to his animals....
OMG, this video was so cool! I grew up raising 42 pigs in Oregon and our neighbor raised cattle. But man, I love your house/farm! It is so efficient and economical! I have never seen another farm like this one. I love the spoke wheel layout and how the animals basically get to choose what they eat, well I think I love everything about this farm! Especially how you have thought about the well being and long Gevity of your animals. And let's not forget about the Duckweed! Who knew! lol. Thank - you again for sharing this. Imagine if this is how all live stock was treated. We'd probably be in Heaven.
Well done. I managed to find duckweed and get it established here. Cat tails are next on that list. I've been digging swales etc for the last summer or two now. My father use to raise grass fed beef. Cut it with a spoon tender. Your pork looks perfect!
@@Xainfinen We're moving pretty soon so it will be a while. We had a hog that really just grazed all of the time. That hog was the best we've ever had. My fathers beef was amazing. The main thing is no antibiotics. If they have to get antibiotics they're out of the cycle and sold.
@@richardhawkins2248 Thanks for the reply. That hog must've really been something! If everything is provided to them with health and natural balance in mind, animals generally don't need antibiotics. I really wish I could free range my livestock but can't because our land is poisoned with Kepone. At least they'll have a good food source from my food forest, fish gut and the complementary grain mix. I wish you good luck with the work.
I respect this guy. I love watching fellow organic farmers. I have a herd of 120 crossbreed dairy cattle, more than 500 chicken for eggs and meat, 50 milking goats and I practice full organic farming all the way in Kenya Africa. Not even a drop of grain in their feeds. My silage is alfa alfa, hay is alfaalfa, the rest, all animals will graze out in the fields morning to evening to do what they do best. One big lesson from this video to me is the weed feed which definately I will introduce to my farm. Thank you for letting nature be at it best well done.
This is just awesome! And how he explained everything in exact detail while doing all that work is unbelievable! Can’t wait to see more! Absolute mind blowing stuff! 😃👍
Awesome video. You and your photographer did a great job of showing the fast-paced life on the farm. A profession that is often underappreciated. Thank you
Permaculture is only the way we've been farming for most of our farming history. This is simply how we should be doing farming. It's the best for us, for the farmer, the animals, and the plants.
Just wow. Incredibly inspiring systems for farming and raising. Got an organic berry family farm here in Canada that focuses on sustainability, longevity, and approaching agriculture holistically. Was not expecting to stumble upon this great wealth of knowledge and creativity. Thanks for sharing!
From someone who is really struggling with life goals, especially with this pandemic, this video really resonates with me. I really feel a sense of purpose and peace in this farm, things I really lack right now. Thank you.
@@mssuezee6178 Owning a small farm/homestead where I could grow my own food and host tourists, is definitely a lifegoal, but I need to save up for a while before I'm being able to buy anything.
I love what he is doing his works among the animal in the most natural resources he can do on his farm. Great job, Sir! This makes me want to buy his meats. Do I have one in central Ohio? I hope
Love ur farm so productive!! I just noticed your cow is sitting back a little bit on her feet! You may need to get her feet trimmed soon as they look a little long which in turn she’ll produce more milk because more comfortable feet means standing longer and eating longer! Happy fat animals though I love it!
I’m impressed to all get out . I would love to try your product. I’m tuckered from doing chores with you. Time for a quick coffee. 🤣 John in Grande Prairie.
Fantastic! As a winemaker, I have been fermenting feed for hogs and chickens for years. But it's hard to find small scale chopped hay and past date milk. I add some molasses for a good starter. It's a wonderful life you have there!
💛Hey Takota, do you do the same dietary regime for the pigs in the winter? Doesn't the pond water freeze over? Do you ferment grain and milk indoors? P.S. I miss these kind of instructional videos.
The nutrient cycle between livestock and pond i very well thought out. However, could there be problems with parasite life cycles? Especially there being snails and snail eggs in the weeds. great video anyways

@@TakotaCoen .. No you’re not a vegan. “Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude-as far as is possible and practicable-all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals."

she's an older cow so that length is not actually that bad. she showed no lameness. I'm sure she's due for a trim but being a keyboard warrior doesn't really help the animal now does it? its not gonna make it happen any faster lol you just want to feel righteous but you just are rude.
Man thank god for people like you. Farmers that set an example.
Great to see a Farmer who is passionate about the health of his Animals and Environment.
Cheers
I'm fro TEXAS and this man is really a good and wise farmer. 😊👍🏽👍🏽
Interesting. Much different way of farming. Lots of good information for such a young man.
That jersey girl is a beauty, my first time here watching your content and I love your farm life. You are really doing a fantastic job farming like my grandparents did! You really brought back some great memories. Please stay safe and keep doing what your doing.
I was wondering if Sophie was a Jersey!
Stumbled across this randomly. N this is probably the most informative n best videos I’ve seen in a while !!
"I hope you liked this video" is an understatement. Excellent step by step detail with explainations. I didn't expect this level depth. Thank you!
Takota, your permaculture system isn't talked about enough. Amazing design is an understatement! This really lit a fire under me to dig deeper into the design of my property.
I'm a total suburban couch potato retired little old lady but I sure wish I was a couple of miles from your operation and had a contract for some of your pork and maybe some eggs. We now live in a semi-rural area but suburbia is infiltrating fast. There are some die hard serious farmers doing similar small holdings like yours, though, around here before the condos mow them down. One woman raising pigs explained how she had an arrangement with her neighbor who has an apple orchard where she lets her pigs eat windfalls to their hearts content for 2 months before whenever she slaughters. We met her at our area Farmers Market. Unfortunately, she'd spoken for all her meat for this Fall or our freezer would be full later on. Now, watching your operation I really regret not getting in touch with her earlier. I have always joked with people whenever someone makes a crack about the "Wprld's oldest profession". My correction is, "No, it's farming!" Who's right? Now, I couldn't help but notice that your gorgeous Jersey milk cow has a great need of a pedicure. . . does she get some hoof care at least once a year? My couch potato farming experise comes from watching the You Tube hoof trimmers too! Just what you need, right? Actually, I'm just curious--all your animals look so healthy and content, I'm being ridiculous.
Now u have caused me alot of work!!...lol...I am wanting to start a business like this...but now love your whole set up and your feed ideas🙃🙂very very interesting...thank u very much.
Very practical. Cost-effective. To the point. No bulldusting. Excellent.
Thank you!
This farming practice is absolutely superb and environmentally friendly. I wish I could do the same on my 40 hectares. Unfortunately we face several additional challenges of which crime and farm murders are the biggest problems. Nevertheless we are proud South Africans and your video is an inspiration to us all. Thank you very much. I will despite our situation dive deeper into this type of farming and overcome any nonsense in my way.
That’s an amazing piece of property you have there. Holy smokes
THAT was AMAZING lots of great ideas and information. I am starting a homestead ranch in MIssouri. Pork is our main animal for us personally and to do some products with. Love your system.
You can tell this guy really love what he does, I envy you my friend ,by the way you explain better than any teacher in the whole world, love it
Excellent! I am impressed how well organized and intelligent your farm is as well as clean, organic and sustainable. This is the future of farming! Thank you for sharing!
awww those pigs look the happiest of any pigs I've ever seen! especially when foraging for cattails. this is how farming *should* be done! bravo
Damn that was impressive. You Got your work done and made a educational RUclips video.
Modern day hero! Love you Takota and all your service & wisdom. Keep up the great work & Stay strong! USA supports the freedom lovers of Canada!
You give me hope for humanity ❤ absolutely inspiring
my thoughts exactly
How is animal exploitation giving you hope
@@morganthomas9634 how so?
@@morganthomas9634 no animals being exploited here. I see happy, healthy flocks that are being well cared for and generating nourishment for people. we're all grist for the mill in the end. no one life form is better or worse, therefor eating only plants does not make you superior, just potentially malnourished. is that why vegans are so angry all the time?
@@nottheone582 So many things wrong with what u said 1) this video is made to act as if animal farming isn’t evil it fails to show the brutal killing of these innocent animals at a fraction of their natural lifespan. 2) By saying ‘we all die eventually’ does this mean I can kill anyone I wish or kill someone’s dog because ‘everyone does at some point”. 3) plants do not feel pain therefore it is far more morally superior to eat things that aren’t sentient. Unlike animals who have the ability to experience pain and suffering.
This is one of the best videos I have ever watched, Thanks and GOD BLESS.
Man, you're doing hard work and I love seeing you enjoying your job at the same time. There is no rewarding than working closer to nature. I am ready to jump from the rat race to permaculture.
Takota Coen, you and your farm are setting the standard for sustainable farming & permaculture. You have a way with teaching but what stands out for me is the exceptional integrity you live by. I wish I had known about Coen Farm while my daughter was attending University of Alberta, Augustana campus in Camrose - it's so close to your farm. But I'm prepared to make the drive from Cochrane! Love all of your content - keep it coming 🤩
What a fantastic idea. I can’t wait to get our pond lined and start growing some cattail. Thank you going through the effort to post this.
Will the cattails grow if the pond is lined?
Wow I really loved this video... I make sourdough bread along with a lot of fermented veg. and fruits.
So glad to see him giving his milk cows a nice break. Really just being kind to his animals....
OMG, this video was so cool! I grew up raising 42 pigs in Oregon and our neighbor raised cattle. But man, I love your house/farm! It is so efficient and economical! I have never seen another farm like this one. I love the spoke wheel layout and how the animals basically get to choose what they eat, well I think I love everything about this farm! Especially how you have thought about the well being and long Gevity of your animals. And let's not forget about the Duckweed! Who knew! lol. Thank - you again for sharing this. Imagine if this is how all live stock was treated. We'd probably be in Heaven.
Amazing!!.... SO glad I wandered around long enough to run into this guy! Well done!
This is such a power packed video! Full of amazing information. That spoke and wheel system is genius! Thank you.
So good to see the system that has been built up over time and the workflow too!
Well done. I managed to find duckweed and get it established here. Cat tails are next on that list. I've been digging swales etc for the last summer or two now. My father use to raise grass fed beef. Cut it with a spoon tender. Your pork looks perfect!
So how did it turn out?
@@Xainfinen We're moving pretty soon so it will be a while. We had a hog that really just grazed all of the time. That hog was the best we've ever had. My fathers beef was amazing. The main thing is no antibiotics. If they have to get antibiotics they're out of the cycle and sold.
@@richardhawkins2248 Thanks for the reply. That hog must've really been something! If everything is provided to them with health and natural balance in mind, animals generally don't need antibiotics. I really wish I could free range my livestock but can't because our land is poisoned with Kepone. At least they'll have a good food source from my food forest, fish gut and the complementary grain mix. I wish you good luck with the work.
I respect this guy. I love watching fellow organic farmers.
I have a herd of 120 crossbreed dairy cattle, more than 500 chicken for eggs and meat, 50 milking goats and I practice full organic farming all the way in Kenya Africa. Not even a drop of grain in their feeds. My silage is alfa alfa, hay is alfaalfa, the rest, all animals will graze out in the fields morning to evening to do what they do best.
One big lesson from this video to me is the weed feed which definately I will introduce to my farm.
Thank you for letting nature be at it best well done.
This is just awesome! And how he explained everything in exact detail while doing all that work is unbelievable! Can’t wait to see more! Absolute mind blowing stuff! 😃👍
My total respect for good Farmer's That intelligently Use resources in a good scientific sustainable way.
Got to like this Farmer
You have a lot knowledge may god always bless you
Looks like it's a lot of work running your farm like that, thank you Farmer for doing all that hard work to feed the people👍🤠
Watching this amazing feed, makes me want to have these sure incredibly tasty pork. Hope we have something as good in USA.
Damn, son. I got exhausted just watching you for 30 minutes!
Excellently informative video!!
Incredible. Great speaker!!
Awesome video. You and your photographer did a great job of showing the fast-paced life on the farm. A profession that is often underappreciated.
Thank you
Outstanding!!!!!
you are humble , God bless you.
Thank you so much 😀
Wow. Very impressive and inspiring. Well done😎
you are a true innovator! wow!
Permaculture is only the way we've been farming for most of our farming history. This is simply how we should be doing farming. It's the best for us, for the farmer, the animals, and the plants.
Just wow. Incredibly inspiring systems for farming and raising. Got an organic berry family farm here in Canada that focuses on sustainability, longevity, and approaching agriculture holistically. Was not expecting to stumble upon this great wealth of knowledge and creativity. Thanks for sharing!
Some really neat stuff ya got going on there! Thanks for sharing 👍
From someone who is really struggling with life goals, especially with this pandemic, this video really resonates with me. I really feel a sense of purpose and peace in this farm, things I really lack right now.
Thank you.
Farmhands are great jobs and the lifestyle is peaceful, good hard work, phenomenal food good money and a purpose. Have you ever thought of doing this?
@@mssuezee6178 Owning a small farm/homestead where I could grow my own food and host tourists, is definitely a lifegoal, but I need to save up for a while before I'm being able to buy anything.
@Nancy Flr They are when I eat them, feel free to do different.
I love what he is doing his works among the animal in the most natural resources he can do on his farm. Great job, Sir! This makes me want to buy his meats. Do I have one in central Ohio? I hope
I'm must share like crazy, people NEED to see this amazing young man. I'm sharing.
Love ur farm so productive!! I just noticed your cow is sitting back a little bit on her feet! You may need to get her feet trimmed soon as they look a little long which in turn she’ll produce more milk because more comfortable feet means standing longer and eating longer! Happy fat animals though I love it!
You are a hero! I love your mission: "To generate the health of the planet and its people, and to help others do the same." Fantastic!
I’m impressed to all get out . I would love to try your product. I’m tuckered from doing chores with you. Time for a quick coffee. 🤣
John in Grande Prairie.
Fantastic! As a winemaker, I have been fermenting feed for hogs and chickens for years. But it's hard to find small scale chopped hay and past date milk. I add some molasses for a good starter. It's a wonderful life you have there!
Its good to see he is having only few animals and taking good care of them, After-all little is sustainable and greed is distructable.
Fantastic..... to see someone that realizes that everything is part of a circular food produce circle...I am impressed...
Amazing!!!
You can tell this guy cares about his work great job beef is looking good.
💛Hey Takota, do you do the same dietary regime for the pigs in the winter? Doesn't the pond water freeze over? Do you ferment grain and milk indoors?
P.S. I miss these kind of instructional videos.
I just LOVES this video. I've shown it to my 4H group & homesteading group. Such a great resource & conversation starter.
This guy 😂😂 he's really busy ❤️❤️❤️
This is off the chain .. Kudos on this farmer and his Beautiful Farm Animals . Good Health to all. Let's be safe out there EVERYONE.
Fascinating
Sir. I am totally blown away and impressed by your skill and industriness. I hope you, your family and all your animals are doing well. Godspeed.
this is hard works.... But so healthy. how do I get so of your pork meat ?
The life of a farmer has always seemed to me to be one of constant hard work. The way this guy has it all setup, he makes it look easy! Well done.
The nutrient cycle between livestock and pond i very well thought out. However, could there be problems with parasite life cycles? Especially there being snails and snail eggs in the weeds.
great video anyways
Never had any issues so far!
@@TakotaCoen .. Plaque forms because eating meat is plaque 🧟♂️🦠🍖.... no other animal does this, no other animal brushes teeth, and they’re fine, no plaque. You’re not supposed to eat animals. Long long stomachs. Little flat teeth 😬. Are used to eat meat. I had plaque, six months dentist. But now I’m vegan, 6 years vegan. No plaque ever !!! I can’t believe it, and fresh and no Plaque. PH is different. Eating animals has no fibre. Five days or more sitting inside your stomach, putrifying. Fibre is plants and fruit and nuts and lentils and sweet potatoes et cetera. Next day poop. No smell. My feet and socks and armpits absolutely clean and fresh. Believe it !!!! Try it for a month you’ll see. Vegan tacos and vegan burritos and vegan curry and vegan anything you want but vegan ✅❤️😬🦷💪🦵... and I gain weight and muscle on a plant-based diet, Full of strength !!!!!
Bonobos and Orangutans and Gorillas are plant-based. They never eat meat et cetera. ✅❤️😬🦷💪🐵🦍. They are 99% the same as us... 1% cancer in the wild !!!! We are herbivores. Scientific fact. Long long stomachs.
🐮🔪⛓😢/😵🔴🦠💩🍖🐰..... 👈🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥......
Go vegan ✅❤️😬🦷💪👍.... . Or your hypooocrite.... 🤥🔴.....
You can have vegan burgers and vegan pizza and vegan curry and vegan burritos and vegan tacos...... simple !!! At the grocery department or RUclips delicious vegan food. Low price and no murder. Win-win situation ✅🌎👍....
@@VeganV5912 I used to believe all this industrial agricultural propaganda too. I was a vegan for a year. This organization helped me a great deal. www.westonaprice.org/vegetarianism-and-plant-foods/
@@TakotaCoen .. You’re hurting innocent animals ? Bludgeoned to death ?? For a burger ??? Five minute burger ????
Animals life gone, for good ??? You don’t do with your cute little dog 🐶. Or a parakeet 🤗🦜...
You can have vegan burgers and vegan pizza and vegan curry and vegan burritos and vegan tacos...... simple !!!
Which side of history are you on ????
We have a pandemic 😵🦠🍖🔴.... Like 1918 pandemic, 50-100 million humans died of eating chicken 😵🦠🍗🔴🐔 !!! Scientific fact !!!! We have long, long stomachs. Teeth are flat 😬. Little flat teeth 😬. We are herbivores ✅. Scientific fact.
Delicious vegan food, from RUclips. For vegan curry, or vegan tacos 🌮, or vegan oats ✅😋🌾🍏🍊🍓🥝........ 80,000 plant foods that’s edible......
Healthy vegan food, from RUclips, Low price. Try it now ✅.....
@@TakotaCoen .. No you’re not a vegan. “Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude-as far as is possible and practicable-all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals."
Charlie Ward is looking for people how can do humanitarian projects and your setup would really benefit new farmers starting out. GREAT JOB!!!
I have only 3 things to say...

Thankx
Thank you for showing people what you do. This is the first time I’ve seen your site, I’m so glad I did, I aspire to start the same. I will be sitting up tonight watching all your videos. 🇦🇺
Bruh that pork looks super marbly
This man is a living legend , all respect to you sir
I miss this life style but it’s too much for me.
He did it in just under a hour a day
But i understand its tough
Pfft. An hour a day. Lol.
You must believ when
Those fatsos lose 200 lbs by eating whatever they want too.
And hour a day. Lol. This is his livelihood. He’s up before the sun comes up and works until sundown
An hour a day. Man you are naive
@@ChamasGemeasAndrePetya when you raise animals, there is no such thing as vacation without thinking about them. Even paid help will call you cause always something going on.
Takota you earned my subscription. I would love to be able to try your pork, it looks amazing. I lived near the Channon in Byron Bay and know that permaculture is the way. Well done.
Buying products from this farmer justifies a 300% mark up!!! Whole foods not so much
His grass fed beef will taste just as shitty as any grass fed beef
Great to see a happy healthy farm. Thanks for the video.
It’s great seeing a smarter way of raising pork. Smart guy.
