How This Micro Dairy Challenges Industrial Farming Norms

❤️PATREON: www.patreon.com/SlowTraditions
🥳 We finally launched our Patreon where you can look forward to full interviews, exclusive content and behind the scenes, or just to show your support.
Maria's sincere love of food led her on a journey around the world. She returned to her homeland, South Africa, to start her own micro dairy using the principle of Slow Food and humane treatment of her dairy herd. She only milks her cows once a day, and keep the calves with their mothers. We were inspired by her love of making quality products, not only does she treat her animals with love and care, she puts in the extra effort to make quality food, the traditional way. Healthy Cows Mean Healthy People!

Restoring Fertility in the Klein Karoo | Permaculture in the Desert
มุมมอง 27Kปีที่แล้ว
Kathryn Eybers recounts her journey to invite fertility back into their lovely piece of land in the Klein Karoo. Over the past 18 years, Kathryn and Ross have restored the land from a barren farm to a bountiful food garden teeming with life- all through the practice of permaculture. Their home and garden is a testament to the deep connection they have fostered with the land, which in turn nouri...

    Nice, I started my suburban back yard veggie patch in August 2021. There were also no earth worms when I started, now they are increasing. My sandy soil is still quite poor, but it is slowly improving, as I also plant more types of veggies as I gain experience in my growing skills. On top of that I started a very neglected food forest in my front yard. Had some wins and lost some too. Chickens or rabbits, big maybe right now.

    I agree and admire most of what she said, but the horn thing is nonsense. Dehorning cows is a safe practice, for them and for us, and it doesn't play that huge role in milk quality, no matter what those studies say.

    • @slowtraditions
      @slowtraditions 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for your comment. As filmmakers, we aim to showcase farmers who stray from the conventional ways of farming, and dehorning is just one of many conventional practices that may or may not be beneficial. I think at the end of the day it's up to each farmer to assess the risks with their team and proceed accordingly.

    You are a breath of pure joy, please don’t wilt, please do some succession planning, people like you are the real hope, you THINK. The economy didn’t “open up”, the Capitalists determined to grind out the small operators. In Australia, the Regulations wouldn’t allow a micr-dairy to be economically viable. I saw a “system” in France that used way etc to feed to fowl and cheese and fowl were their income.

  • @guernseygoodness
    @guernseygoodness 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Interesting information about horns regulating body temperatures. Cows with horns can be very dangerous though. Even if a cow ain’t mean, they can “playfully” butt you with their head and severely gore you! In the old days, some farmers would attach a small ball to the tips of each horn.

    I am an Australian woman living in Tasmania the smallest state.. I really respect what you are doing, especially retaining the animals' horns for sound reasons. And most particularly keeping the cows with their calves and generally respecting your animals. I do not drink dairy products as I am horrified by the dairy industry generally. I use nut milks and coconut yoghurt. I am stopping eating of cows' cheese now. Best wishes and thank you for showing how your farm works.

    I totally agree about the more smaller farms concept, currently I grow most of the veggies I eat on my small urban stand. So far l have successfully grown garlic, onions, leeks, green beans, peas, tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet red/green peppers, jalapenos, potatoes, sweet potatoes, lettuce, butternut, pumpkin, spinach, basil and a number of herbs. It teaches you to eat what is in season, so you benefit from a varied diet too.
