    Gosh, this summer is flying by! Hard to believe all the families that have spent the summer there will heading for home in a few weeks already. It seems like the summer hardly got started not too long ago. No doubt it will be a summer everyone will remember the rest of their lives! I bet your kids absolutely LOVED having all the other kids there this summer to play with and go exploring with. I can't think of a more wonderful childhood experience to have.
    Really respect your authenticity and presence Richard; the way you regularly pause to take stock of your life and determine what direction your heart wants to take you in the present and near future. It's so much more common that folks make decisions and allow themselves to basically be trapped in following those decisions until they die, regardless if they are still what is feeding their soul or making the contribution they want to make to the community and to Mother Earth. Great respect and admiration for you in that regard, and really appreciate your being willing to share that process.
    As we are in the process of setting up our own homesteading operation, we're most excited that you're heading in that direction yourself, and looking forward to continuing to learn from and with you along the way of that journey. Thanks so much for sharing!

      You wrote exactly my thoughts but more organised than I could have done. Thank you and thank you Richard. The pond is looking fabulous. It a pleasure having a glimpse into the development of Ridgedale Farm. The grass, wild flowers, trees, animals, community are a haven. I'll be sad if you decide to sell because I will lose my window into paradise. I'm sure your next adventure and challenges will be just as exciting.

    Would be a shame to leave that place. There is a lot people can still learn there. By the sound of it, you need a lot more hands on the farm. I've been (silently) following for years now and there are more and more enterprises being added every year. You are at a very typical business point now, either grow with people/colleagues or reduce to be able to manage everything. This process hurts, going either way. You, and those involved, will learn a lot as a person while doing so.
    Doing the 'consultancy' part by doing the trainings is considered a full time job in many industries. Running a marketgarden, 4x meat production enterprises (cows, sheep, chicken and turkey), having multiple families (and thus running a kids care enterprise too) on the farm whilst renting out tents to visitors and having a big catering / cooking operation going on, is a lot. Get a couple of Niklas's and Matt's (S4) back on the farm, give them proper mandates and freedom. I think you'll be fine after learning to let go on trying to managing every single bit.
    Just a wild shot; call JM on how he and Hélène are doing this stuff on their farms (the big and small one).
    Best of luck and wisdom.

    Keep in mind if you have a group to manage the farm, someone needs to be in charge or it will just get out of control, in my humble opinion.... Someone has to take ownership, if it's going to be kept immaculate as you have done. You need to find someone who is driven like yourself, that will take the training and Farm to the next level. Thanks for the tour!

    Seems like your are fed up and ready to go. Its ok, was a delight to follow this journey, and sure there more to come.
    On the other end...you could just add a bunch of cow sheep and pigs and relax a few years there with less people, less market gardens, less birds...

    Your farm is paradise or Eden on Earth right now. With honestly, I've always felt your farm is too far North: Meaning that, the beauty of living is in this fecund period of long day light, high vegetative growth, frolicking (literally) animals and the humans/people all celebrating "The Green Man"/Gaia or whatever majestic sense of nature's bounty fundamental changes our behaviour and makes people much more positive and upbeat about the world and our "station" in life - and it's too short, surely?
    Apparently in the UK we're suffering a "heat apocalypse" and yet, people look extraordinarily happier in the warm haze and pulsating heat of the sun's rays... so long as some rain comes soon after!
    With that said, I'm sure more people living a small farm life would lead a much much more fulfilling and encompassing life suitable to human biology. I'll toast a drink to that eventual outcome one day in the future!

    Hi Richard, thanks for sharing your journey yet again. Love seeing the farm and the lush growth, so different from the current farming practices all around me. Just wondering what type of E bike that is? I'm sure you mentioned it in a previous video but there are so many I get lost now.

    I hope you keep the farm, add people and let them carry the heavy lifting. For sure until the kids can decide to work with you. Time to make some dry hay, use the money to restock in the spring to keep the system going. The upgrads will definitely bring top dollar. If you do sell, I hope former students buy in on a lease to own deal. Good luck

    Question: Have you seen any change in your neighbours attitude through out the years? Are they getting interested in what you are doing or are they still stuck in the same old ways? By now they must have observed the many positive changes to your farmland compared to their own?! I wish you were located closer to sthlm I would pop by all the time.

    It’s a shame you’re giving up the farm. Farming might be a decent lifestyle if one has a dozen hardworking kids, perfect climate, or a phenomenally profitable crop, but probably, for most, not even then. Thanks for sharing your little slice of Eden.

    As a person who learned so much from your youtube videos and RAM course made on Ridgedale, I'm a bit saddened that you are considering selling the farm🥲 Though you have done an immeasurable job to educate, empower, and motivate such a volume of population that even a city boy living in South Korea started farming regeneratively with your guidance. Many parts of the globe would owe you a lot. I wholeheartedly appreciate your work and dedication and wish you make the best decision and have a peaceful and joyful life on and on!
