Rabbit regenerative farming: how I plan to save thousands in gardening costs this spring

  • When my mom and I rescued these rabbits years ago in the Florida woods, I never imagined they would play such a vital role in my non-existent regenerative farm. Now, I see it was divine that we saved these critters, for they churn out the best fertilizer in the game for the gardening and farming I plan to do this April.
    Better yet, they eat the parts of plants we don't - and from that fuel, create the fertilizer I need to grow food and ward off pests. Yes, rabbit fertilizer keeps the deer away. Who would have thought?
    I am brand-new to farming and plan to do it without a big tractor, or chemicals, or tilling the land. These rabbits are a big part of that loop!
    Follow along!
    Here is how I was able to get a loan for farmland without ANY prior farming experience: open.substack.....

      One thing I learned from an Amish guy who was helping build our house, was use a packet of yeast, can of coke, molasses and kefir as fertilizer. Coke for the roots (phosphorus) and molasses for the sugar to feed the yeast/bacteria (from the kefir) to make your soil healthier.....not so much organic, but it works

    Yup,Joel is an encyclopedia of knowledge! I rotate my chicken wagons on our hayfields to grow better. Do what your doing,stay small and grow as your confidence does,thats just common sense,which isnt too common anymore. You have alot of enthusiasm, awesome energy and a sharp eye for what is going on! Those are tools that many dont possess. Seed starting will be here before you know it,... starter plants = good money to pay off loan!

    Years ago, before I became a farmer, I worked in a classroom that had rabbits. Each week a teacher from another classroom would gleefully volunteer to change our cage.We found it odd that she bagged up the poo & took it home but we didn't complain! 😅. She shared that she had a huge vegetable garden and she called the rabbit poo "gold nuggets." We playfully teased her, but now I totally get it. Great content.

    Yes, exactly. I met Joel at a Mother earth fair years ago. He is definitely the best source of knowledge in modern farming. There's another guy in NC who makes hundreds of thousands of dollars selling organic produce, only using 1 acre of land. I had the idea that an easy way to save food, long-term, is to freeze dry and package the excess for future use. That way you minimize waste. It's the best way to preserve food. Canned food is usually loaded with salt and even dangerous in an emergency, survival, situation.

Wish you lived in Central PA. I would totally volunteer to learn along with you. I live on less than 1/4 acre with a lot of big trees. After 10 years of trying to grow a food forest, we finally gave up and now are focusing on planting perennials. At least we'll get some good pollinators, and the critters enjoy eating the little bit of fruit from our dwarf trees. Thanks again for sharing! All the Best!

    Regenerative Farming: a fancy way to reference old time family farming, haha. Nice video. Good idea to sell the goods. Guinea pigs are also used the same way rabbits are with regards to eating/pooping/fertilizing. My only word of caution is, the farmers people may be emulating are frequently in a much different climate zone than they are. At one point I did think I needed to upgrade my game and follow some popular gurus but then I realized that they are in several growing zones warmer than my corner of the world and their ideas don't work the same in mine.

    When I lived in El Paso my neighbor Danny had received free rabbits from somebody and he released them in his backyard they kept piling up their dung in the desert dirt until the grass was able to take hold they weren't able to escape the backyard and they lived cage-free because there's a rock wall that surrounds all the house is in El Paso. The footing keeps them from digging underneath the fence and they keep it mowed like a golf course.

    In watching previous videos, it seems that you’ve chosen a European farming lifestyle, living in town & “commuting” to the farm daily. I haven’t seen any videos about how that works for you & the economics of that split. I’m also not sure what your current plans are for living spaces/accommodations on the farm, which is related to the first question. A video on those topics would be great!

    You can do it, there’s the cycle! But you really otta have a methane ingester. Rich fertilizer and free methane. You have manure, you have organic matter.
    A fluid scrubber, can be made simply. Enough methane builds up, you can get a regulator and connect to a compressor engine, then channel it to a compressed gas tank as something that can be salvaged as a propane tank. It’d initially be low pressure, but can be fed into a propane or natural gas line.

    Not sure if you know this (I learned the hard way), but using hay/straw for my garden was a big mistake. Although there is a lot of nutrients from my goat and chicken bedding, there is also a lot of herbicides that were sprayed on them to reduce the weeds.....so unless you know whats sprayed on the straw you buy, keep it away from your garden. I have 2 beds I added a lot that had tons of chicken waste in it 3 years ago, cant grow any brassicas at all. Spinach was ok. Tried beets and turnips with no luck.

      Something to mull over in the same vain is whether “industrial organic” is sustainable. Pre-certification, organic was the way people grew produce-more like regenerative today. In order to scale to industrial size, it requires certification and standards, inviting the regulations that govern organic farming. For most of us, small & medium scale, with the human touch is very desirable-we accept industrial organic because it’s available broadly all year round in most stores-but it not our preference.

In our culture, it is also acceptable to hang private parts out of your clothing, naked and exposed… and because it’s “popular” it’s somehow supposed to be acceptable. It’s not ok.
      Other countries eat cats and dogs as well; they aren’t indoctrinated by our culture that says certain animals can only be pets and other animals can be freely eaten. They’re all living animals, so who gets to choose where to draw the line for the whole of society?
      I definitely LOATHE animal cruelty, but we are at the top of the food chain. I believe in being kind and gentle with animals and I will honor and respect the nutrition they give me as well, once they are humanely killed and in my freezer. It’s The circle of life. My people have always lived off the land. My mom is from Thailand and learned to survive in the wild. I also own chickens. Rabbits are a great survival food!
