Loving the long game approach. Isn't that what farming should be about...doing what feels good, does good for the ecology, brings joy and satisfaction to the farmer and the community (the micro and macro). Much love.
I think every no-till garden you cover should have information on managing weeds. In her woody section in particular, I was wondering how she would manage that over time.
Essentially, in the woods she just has landscape fabric down in the rows, and in the woodies/perennial field plot they are planted into landscape fabric. She told me she had a "weed dating" event last year and had folks come out and hand weed around the plants (which is a brilliant idea). Later I think she intends to remove the landscape fabric and mulch.
in that spring house 8:12 she could also start chickens in it and ducks, turkeys, geese, keets. Lots of options. People underrate duel spaces like that and over focus on tomatoes. But a flower cutting if you have the manpower pays.
I hope you do get to make more videos from this farm. I been checking Jennie out on Instagram and she's really got some cool things going on there. Great work people!
I consider No-Till Flowers my number one podcast find for 2021 and this video is the cherry on top!! Thanks Jenny! PS - would love to hear how you irrigate with so many fields through your property.
Its definitely my favorite farm! Thanks Farmers Jessie and Jennie. You are both unbelievable powerhouses in your field. (pun intended) Deep gratitude and respect!
I love your amazing amount of perennials ! And just a reminder, for those who aren't often exposed to the idea, one can pasture poultry in the aisles in mobile coop systems. Whether all enclosed like the Salatin meat bird structures or doing even with meat birds what Richard Perkins went to, with using the electric poultry net fencing to give them addtl. ground space around their coop. Theorizing that the reason he hasn't lost any to overhead predators may be due to the close proximity of everything (and/or large size of the flock in his case too, with his laying flock anyways). Obviously, one may not have time to deal with a laying flock and selling eggs etc. as well, but with meat birds, esp. if you have a butcher/processor lined up for the aprox. butcher time, you may be able to do it yourself. Otherwise, one could have another ( trusted around your plants...) person running this enterprise all on their own ( you don't pay them, they use your land for free, or pay you rent, barter or pay a percentage of profit, for use of your land). Considering they may eat pests and do fertilize, this could be a win-win all around, but I've never done it ( have had both chickens and gardens, but that was before learning a whole lot more about no-till and permaculture). Just putting it out there !
I love how people agree to say colonized, cuz it's true. I hope in the future, USA will become a true heaven where everyone is good to eachother, as it should be
Actually, she was talking about nandina, also known as heavenly bamboo, not tree of heaven. But I was glad to see it contained in a hoop house since many people use it for landscaping and it can be invasive as well as the berries actually being unhealthy for some of our native birds.
I am frustrated out of my socks with the idea of spending trillions of dollars to change the structure of our society. However, one item deep in the gigantic bill is; "$55 billion to promote climate-friendly farming and forestry research programs" I hate government interference but we must set aside this bias to promote responsible small farm research. If all the RUclips channels who are showing the advantages to the environmental just farming would band together to do peer-reviewable research imagine what we can do to help return to sound family farming practices to reduce erosion, pollution and factory farming practices harmful to air-borne carbons. Who can get the ball rolling to prepare to influence at least a little how this money is spent?
I need to see Jennie Love's forest garden! 💚
Great video. Can you do one on the fencing and basics of the field. We always over look the bare essentials of farming like keeping the deer out.

Yes girl! Planning on how you’ll farm as you age speaks volumes to who you are as a grower. Love the podcasts (both), cheers for the content
Keep these videos coming! Winter sucks and these videos help make it through!
That little Japanese truck she has is super rad!
They are cheaper & better than UTVs with better fuel economy and larger payloads & greater towing capacity but everyone uses UTV/ATVs.

Thank you for the great tour. Jennie Love is such a great farmer and has so much to share.

Very interesting with the very different zones she has put up. Yup, this is very interesting indeed. Thanks for sharing
My jealousy meter jus went way up
What about showing her arrangements?!
Love her podcast!
DUH! it's flowers :D of course it's your favorite, and it's Jennie - she's everyone's favorite :p
So, where's that forrest garden video?
Nice farm in a city that has been having a rough year. Best wishes Jenny!
Fab video… Jennie your doing great inspirational work 🌻🌻🌻xxx
Sweet! Philly is like 45 minutes from me in South Jersey.
Awesome, you should follow her Instagram and etc because she does a lot of events throughout the year
Amazing! thank you
Sweet tour!
Love this farm!
0:04 That looks like shredded leaves? Or is it just woodchip? Pretty cool if it's shredded leaves :) I add that to my beds and compost every fall.
Yes! I'm very jealous
Awesome! Thanks for this beautiful tour. What zone are you in, Jenny?
She's in zone 7 (which is funny because we are 6b nine hours south of her in KY).
@@notillgrowers The ocean moderates the temperatures along the coast. I live about an hour NW of her and am in 6B.
I love how people agree to say colonized, cuz it's true. I hope in the future, USA will become a true heaven where everyone is good to eachother, as it should be
Tree of Heaven lantern bug fav.
