- (Part 1 of 2) The #1 Place To Visit If You Want To Grow Food In Warm Climates!
This latest video tour has been a goal of ours for quite some time. We bring you along to ECHO Global Farm in Fort Myers, FL, one of the first places to break open our passion for permaculture, tropical fruit production & perennial food crops! We found it nearly impossible to pack so much useful information into just one video, so we made it into a 2-part!
Here's Your Link to Part 2 - • Top Field Trip Destina...
Where’s the best place to visit when you want to learn about sustainable agriculture? Every top-tier speaker, author or teacher would agree that ECHO has been a catalyst for so many essential parts of ecology-minded tropical & subtropical agriculture.
When Stacy Swartz isn’t giving lucky folks like us top-notch tours at ECHO, she's usually handling the notorious research & publications department. We strongly suggest you take a field trip to ECHO if you get the chance! It’s always quite a different experience when you see things in person! There are countless ways to support them through their bookstore (online & onsite), nursery, classes, courses & public tours. You can also simply donate if you would like. To learn more about the full range of ECHO’s outreach & multiple outreach programs that benefit so many - you can check out their website - www.echonet.org

Not only do they grow fruit , they have an orchestra playing in the background. Truly versatile people

Plants love music. Plants have frequency...God created such amazing things for us.
😂😂
ECHO is AWESOME !!!!!!! Great community of believers sharing God's goodness and kindness across the globe. Much LOVE
I lived right down the street from Eco and I can tell you I learned new and exciting things every time I went for a visit. Great seeing my fav place on earth
This is on my bucket list. There's so much to learn I love Florida and I'm proud to be a native Floridian
Hey Lynne! It’s definitely worth the trip
Ur a native american indian? I thought they were all killed
@@layuponthedownlow derp
Not so much after that dickhead trump settled here
@@layuponthedownlow The Seminole Nation remains unconquered. If you can read and understand what you read, pick up a book.
Pete Kanaris has taken gardening educational videos to a whole new level, a level that all other gardening videos will be judged by. Well done Pete!
Thank you! Set the bar 👊
I guess im randomly asking but does anybody know a tool to get back into an instagram account..?
I somehow lost my account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me.
@Zander Brody Instablaster ;)
@Rylan Decker i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Rylan Decker it worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my account !
The owner of the farm expresses his longing spirit of heaven and peace
Holy cow! Stacy Swartz is a natural. She should stay in front of a camera. Natural gift - to us
Seriously! Stacy crushed it 👊
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL she is so happy, smart, loving....great
Thanks Brian!
I think she's a beautiful lady...her personality shines!
@@stacyswartz3267 NICE LADY U R. THERE IS HAPPENING SOMETHING IN HEART
That's awesome I'm growing papayas pineapple bananas cucumbers tomatoes squash in Jacksonville Florida
Awesome!!
😋
Pete, thanks for letting Stacy explain all the very adaptable natural systems in this very beautiful botanical garden...I am addicted...onto part 2...🍄😃🌈🤙
I saw the picture and immediate recognized it was ECHO. I'd never been to there or even Florida but absolutely understand their impact to many subsistence farmers and gardeners throughout the Global South.
They were kind enough to send me Tarwi almost a decade ago which grew well in the cool subtropical climate of San Francisco.

Thailand is amazing when it comes to food and fruit production ! They are the best in maxing out yields!
@@crosbyronald5400 i didnt
The production value of this video is really great. Awesome stuff. Thank you.
Thank you!
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL can we come buy your fruits or foods ?
Wow. The swallowtail kite photobombing the drone at 12:45 was great... my second favorite bird.
They’re awesome Allan!
Allan Turpin huh that’s what I said photo bomb lol 😂
What's your first?
You just helped me answer a bonus question on my essay about this place lmao!! thanks :)
She’s wonderful, they got the right person for the job there for sure.
So well done! ECHO is an amazing place, helping millions of farmers worldwide. This is known as the ECHO ripple effect.
Awesome! Thanks Ruth
What a doll Stacy is! ;)
Hai buddy, I'm from Malaysia. That is a great Tropical garden. She got everything from the Napier grass to the Logan tree. The exciting thing is the Paddy, OMG...... That was perfect.
So much to learn!! Thank you guys for bringing us this awesome tour! I can’t wait to see part ✌🏼🥰
50 years in Florida... now I'm between our NC farm and our family farms in Guangxi, China... an autonomous region located north of Vietnam.
Nanning is called the "Green City" , the size of NYC; as it's a tier 2 city or medium size city for China. It's our capital city and the gateway of SE Asia.
Guangxi should be on every bucket list as a must visit!
Don't be surprised when you visit, you'll want to stay like I did in 2004!
LIFE IS GREAT!
Sounds awesome!
Neem stick is used to brush early in the morning, it is very common in India too....
Neem is native to India, this tree has lot of medicinal properties. We use it's leaves juice as pesticides on farms and neem sticks are used for brushing teeth. In British era it's introcuded to other world.
Wow Pete what a fun tour that was.Can't wait for tour #2.Thanks for your hard work making theses videos.The livestock pens were a very neat operation.
Thanks Steve!
Absolutely awesome.
Thanks for ur good work and all the inspiration.
I live in St.Augustine and ive been inspired by your videos and ive recently took up gardening because of you. I absolutely love your videos. Keep up the great work.
Wow! Thanks awesome Tee🙌
Thanks for sharing ❤️
I’m in St. Aug too :)
Pete,u are a rockstar! Thanks for this awesome info! Tee,if u ever want to link up n do a roadtrip to the farm lmk🤙🏽
Thanks for all the videos. I am glad to see these types of places exists.
This is a Food Forest Concept & a School. Incredibly spectacular.
I am holding my breath for part two, please,PLEASE!!
Coming soon! :)
Thanks to your beautiful host too. She’s a legend 🌿🌺🌻🍇🍁
Agreed! Stacy was really awesome
Lived there for 35 years and spent many days at ECHO. Thank you for whisking me away from my new homestead back to my roots!
Thanks for sharing with rest of the world. Amazing to see great farms. More of a reason to move down to Florida to be surrounded by amazing farms and get fresh food.
Pete I love this video! I'm looking forward to part 2.
Awesome! Thanks
The beauty of the place intensified with Stacy in the equation.
I appreciate all of these videos on how to grow veggies in FL. I'm still looking for a way to grow tomatoes in FL. Apparently it really is a hit & miss project here. In MO I've raised 12 tomato plants and harvested as many as 300 (roma) from one plant. The difference in climate/soil is unreal. The peppers are easy to grow here. I've so much to learn about this climate. I'm watching different videos on how to grow veggies here and everything is different. Since I've moved here I would starve without a store. Thankfully, videos such as this are helping me adjust to this very different climate. Thank you Pete Kanaris!
I’ve been trying to get the timing right on our property for three years. This year I am not wasting time or space waiting for the weather to change. Just plant. I’m sowing seeds every few weeks of everything if there’s open space. We were lucky enough to get a mulberry tree from a friend, and turned that one tree into 16 trees. By last summer they were quite large And cast a canopy over the annual veggie beds and we did a lot better through the summer. I expect this summer to be more abundant than ever. Try to get a canopy established for late afternoon sun. Best of growing to you!!
Soil composition is important..
"Rice-ling." Full points! A play on Riesling.
Love ❤️ everything happening in the farm. It looks so full of energy, God blessed all of you for bringing it out to the public, Stacey thank you 🙏 for the tour I love your hair as well, very gorgeous!
Wow! Such a beautiful place where you can immerse yourself into permaculture! Looks like there's a lot to learn here! Love it! Great video Pete! Keep em coming!
This place in unreal. Recycling every input, experimenting, open-sourcing these natural technologies for everyone. Watching this for the second time now to try to absorb all this info ... 🙏🙏 thanks Pete for making this and getting it out to us all
It really is next level! They have so much amazing information to share with the world.
Oh Wow....your Asia garden is really like in here.... it is impressive. As if it were really in a tropical part on earth.
Video starts - me: this looks like it is going to be epic...
Pete: I have a really epic feature for you!
Me: leans back
Epic overload! 🤣
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL Also: Great minds... ;)
Wow another great video! Stacy knows her stuff! Love the work echo is doing with small farmers in tropical nations. That bird almost took out the drone at min 12:46
Thanks Paul! Echo was a catalyst for me. That was a swallow tailed kite that didn’t like the drone, pretty cool!
I never knew ackee became toxic if left too long in the pod after opening, they turn darker yellow and the pod wilts then the edible part gets softer and sort of melts eventually. Fresh, open ackee, scalded then sautéed with coconut oil, onion, garlic, tomato, thyme, a pinch of salt and black pepper and eaten with roast breadfruit is my favorite meal. Beautiful property, thanks Pete and Ms.Swartz.
Thanks Paul!
I'm Thai now i live in New York this clip remind me my country.
As an Indian ( from India), I felt happy many similar plants( neem, star fruit, Jack fruit, etc..)from my state. It may be due to tropical weather
Well done video, informative and hopeful. Thank you.
As always such beautiful vlog. Pete although I don’t want to lose you in the garden, you should go into film. Your videos are truly stunning. Xx🙏🌷🌿🌻
Thanks Kelly! Media company in the works 😉
Echo! Thinking outside the box! Bright spot in my day! Thanks Pete! CR coming soon!!
Currently in CR 😬
I went here when I lived really close by, awesome place. Great video!
Love how this farm is so interconnect, and has so many plants intermixed with animals. Total echo systems will be so great to learn from, and is a great for us all to fallow.

So beautiful! I'm trying to imagine all the smells that would accompany such a beautiful place, with all those wonderful plants and animals. I wish I could visit in real life! Thanks for this very educational and relaxing tour 💚💚💚
Beautiful Visit Thanks Pete

Excellent video packed with useful knowledge that remains frugal and logical. I'm itching to start my own youtube gardening channel in Canada but after following Pete and others I could never compete with such quality content! Bravo and keep showing us these hidden gems!

Can I help translate?
This is great, makes me so glad!
This is the self sufficient economy of Thailand. Thai people live based on this philosophy. The farmers here are striving to develop an agricultural lifestyle based on sustainability.
Lovely - what a food bowl. Great work everyone!
Thank you!

Nice farm with lots of fruit trees! Love it! 😍 wish I could visit there someday! Thank you so much for sharing Mr Pete! Great video.

Amazing!! Thanks so much! I live in Gainesville, FL and this is the first time I’m hearing about you! Whenever this pandemic is over and it’s safe to travel, I’m definitely coming to visit! 💖
Pandemic has been over for a year. 😒 It's a new cold/flu, 99.8% survival rate. Smh.

Great job Pete ! I cant wait for part 2
th-cam.com/video/qSUn0EDTdBk/w-d-xo.html
Great information and not far from our house. I’m totally going to visit this summer. Ty!
Awesome! Enjoy
Brilliant video! Excited for Pt 2!
🙌
This is amazing! Exactly what I would do if I had that land! Im doing a mini version in my yard. Im setting up to use rabbit manure to feed fish. I plan to also build an area around the pond to raise ducks. I plan to also plant rice to! I saw in China they use ducks to weed between the rice in rice fields.
Fish eat rabbit poo who knew ?
Fantastic tour! We received seeds from ECHO while helping in Ecuador - a lot of the trees are still growing in the community today. It’s a wonderful organization. We love stopping by their bookstore and nursery on our way home from Pine Island. So, any plans to go to Hawaii to film at some places? Would love to see Gabe’s banana breeding operation and Oscar’s food forest - especially the Inga collection. Or maybe a tour of Jim West’s place in Ecuador
Thank you! They’re really do amazing work. Definitely have Jim West in my sights and a possible client in Hawaii. I’m thinking a possible Ecuador trip in February. I just confirmed a Brazil trip this November to visit Ernst Gotsch, I’m super excited about that one.
Can't wait for the part two
Thank you for filming this and posting it!
My mom lives in fort Myers I’m going to have to check this place out next time I’m down there! Thanks for posting
Awesome! Enjoy

What a lovely farm. And it's great to see that they have begun experimenting on rice production. In the Philippines, I hail from a region north of Manila w/c is called the rice granary region of the Philippines. The vivid bright green colour of the rice paddies is very soothing to the eyes. As an aside, my big sister used to own a small tilapia farm in which ducks are free to roam around to help fertilise the pond. It's a pity that I didn't get to travel much to these wonderful farms every time I visited my niece who used to live in Fl. Anyway, as always thanks for yet another excellent video!
Echo is really doing some amazing work! Thank you 🙏
I feel like moving to Florida because of your farm, you makes me remember all my childhood fruit that l used to eat back in West African.
Best maintenance of plants. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, thank you, I love Echo, so glad I found them, such a wonderful learning center, most of my trees have come from there, a little over an hour drive from me, but soooo worth it, I'll be going back soon, as I'm helping my daughter in Jacksonville eliminate her grass....plant more forests...AND food...!!!
That’s awesome! Keep up the good work 👊
I love this amazing episode! And that amazing lady. And everything on this video!🐔🐐🐮🐷🌳🌱🌷🌼🍅🍋🍊 And you mr. Pete is the greatest!👊💚
Thank you! 🙌
Re-visited this to watch in full...even better the 2nd go around !! Pete always posts epic tours !! :)
I appreciated the information and tour of the farm. I just loved the key hole idea for planting. Thanks so much for sharing
I love this garden. This is like my child hood memory, I spend few months during wartime. Need couple of coconut tree.
Keep the good work...feel amazing and peaceful. So lovely to see the work you all did. Congratulations
Love from Borneo
Thank you for this great video Pete!
These educational videos are amazing. They have been extremely helpful for me and Id love to see more of them!
I Love Echo Global Farm and thanks Pete for showing this and producing this content! We still have several trees like moringa and katuk we bought from the nursery and I'm enjoying the cranberry Habiscus plants I grew from seeds I bought at Echo too! Could go on about that place and so appreciate your work and it's an inspiration for us in these northern climates!
Thanks Dustin! Echo is pretty amazing 🙌
That little house you saw their they showed you see a lot of that in Colombia they have fincas like that you can actually rent them out in the two people do that.... the Costa Rica they have in this world they have Gardens just like this but I promote this idea I live it it's a dream of mine to do exactly what they have there you can do this in any climate I don't care where you live you can make it to adapt the kind of food that you need in that region..... there's a little farm in Utah that's doing just that just outside of Salt Lake City
Beautiful edit in the beginning Pete and Melissa and no idea what you did different with the camera to get that portrait mode blurr too but it looks awesome!! I so want to just do a Northern Florida trip to visit Sand Hill and Echo.. one day hopefully soon. Fairchild is closer so I guess I should visit them next.
adding this to my itinerary for fall!
Thanks Pete
Sweet! Enjoy
Looks like everything nice taken from around the world..and now growing stateside.
You are right, this is beautiful
