I highly enjoy that aspect of their channel!!! A wealth of information. I have been lead to so many other local for me farms and homesteaders again providing so much knowledge. So much love Mike and Lacey from just outside of Greensboro, NC. Thank you so much. Completely open to being a volunteer farm hand if yall are ever in need. Hopefully in a couple years l will successful enough to be featured on your channel when things are better established for myself and my family as we branch out our skills into a consumer market.
Enjoyed it Mike, very interesting to meet the folks you interview and learn of their success and be a inspiration to you as well as your viewers! Thanks
Awesome informational video! Very generous of her to share her micro biz insights, considering the growth of competitors. Also love the farm experiences. Now Mike, need to figure out what's upcoming in demand but not yet serviced/grown in your area :)
Not all are ad friendly. A lot are turned off by ads. I only watch ads for channels I enjoy and want to help. When I see to many ads I don’t even bother. Mike if you add one or two more ads I’ll still watch the ads. Great video I’ve been interested in getting into micro greens.
Laura I can understand why you don't like ads but if you only knew how many thousands of hours we have put into our content and how many sacrifices we have made just to create FREE content (because it doesn't cost you anything to watch) you would want us to make a little more money for what we do. If I round it out I (Lacie), just for editing the videos, have not even made $3/hour for all the work that I have done. That doesn't even include all the work Mikes does for filming, planning, etc... There is nothing wrong with us wanting/needing to make money for what we do.
Very interesting interview! Would love to have my back yard look so lush and green! Love the "Be Strong and Grow On". I'll have to remember that one! Blessings from NE Missouri!
Im getting ready to go back to school and have been looking into selling micro greens to offset the cost and $500 a week would make a huge difference Thanks
What a great setup. Wonderful all the knowledge sharing that goes on with the permaculture channels. I can't do any of this, but I still love to learn. You all rock!!!
Really interesting video. I like that heating system. Hope you guys all enjoy your pizza night. Be Strong & Grow On...You've nailed it with that quote lol 🙌🏼 Thank you for sharing Stay blessed 🌻
i have two accounts one on my phone n one on my laptop and i subbed on both accounts, my mom n bro subbed too because of the wealth of knowledge on this channel, keep up the outstanding work.
Since you are not going to grow sunflower seeds you do not need to get the best quality seed. Any sunflower seed would work. I will try Walmart bird seeds to see how it is growing.
Thinking of starting micro greens myself. Just need to find out what needs to be watched for as far as bad batches for diseases, and what to sell for price wise
Hi Mike ...hard at it as usual for u ...have u ever heard of a wallpini ...mite work for u ...have a great day, off to barn to clean up ...clean animals are happy animals ....
Great video and info. Sounds like your cam autofocus is starting to go???...there is a motorized noise throughout your video unless it is something from the environment.
Love it. I have tried micro greens on a very, very small scale for the chickens - 2 pans. LOL Thinking about getting back into it again and do more. First one I've seen that uses natural light to do the growing!
Good Morning Brother & Sister it’s the lords day Sunday 9-1-2019 Just wanted to Drop you a line to tell you that with the comment section turned off on The Hollar Homestead TH-cam page: In just one week their subs has went from 77,000 Subscribers to 60,000 in just one week. Yep I been watching it & they have lost 17,000 + subs in one week. This is why I said in previous message about it being TH-cam suicide to close all subs off from making comments. This just goes to show that people want to be a part of a channel if they commit to giving that channel their valuable time: People that donate their time want to be able to leave comments. It’s TH-cam suicide, but if they want to go from 77,000 subs to nothing in no time, thats their tough luck. Some TH-cam channels never get to 77,000 subs or 60,000 what they have now! I just think it’s not a very smart move on their part or anyone else’s to lose all their subs over something comes with the Territory of TH-cam trolls that can be blocked individually. Have a blessed Day Brother & Sister! 👍
I can appreciate your concern for the Hollars channel but it is THEIR channel. They have had over 300K views within the last week. so they are doing just fine. If you have issues with not being able to comment then just don't watch.
The Fit Farmer - Mike Dickson Ok sounds good to me!!!!! If they that sensitive over something that stupid ole trolls says on their channel maybe they shouldn’t have a channel. As you know people are gonna be people & some people are gonna say rude & nasty things from time to time! It certainly wasn’t me I’ve never said anything out of the way to them! All they had to do was block those people leaving nasty comments not everyone! But that’s fine I just won’t watch their channel, I’ll unsubscribe!!! I’m not supporting viewing & helping someone make money that won’t let me comment! TH-cam has millions of channels. I was just trying to give them some good advice their channel in one week has went from 77,000 down to 60,000 subs. That’s fine I will unsubscribe, no sweat off my back. 😉
Great video, great greenhouse! Hey I left you a message about the Hollar homestead. Did y’all ask The Hollar Homestead why they got their comments section turned off on their videos? I can’t leave a message on none of their recent videos. I’ve not been able to leave a message since I commented on your video when you went helped them tear walls off. Not since U interviewed them & I left a comment on your video ! I hope they didn’t block me just because I said on your video that I thought from Justin Rhodes video that he had helped them tear off all the walls & I said like Paul Harvey says Now I know the rest of the story! Is that bad enough to get Blocked from leaving comments on their channel??? I’d think not. But if they are blocking all people from leaving comments then they are committing TH-cam suicide by disabling their comments. Maybe they done it by accident? But if I’m blocked over nothing at all I will unsubscribe from their channel! Cause I want no parts of people’s drama. So look & see if their comments is turned off & let me know please. If it’s off for you then it’s off for everyone & they need to be notified, because you can’t run a successful TH-cam channel without comments. Or at least a lot of people like myself will not want to stay subscribed to a channel I cannot leave a comment. Thanks
The Fit Farmer - Mike Dickson Wow 😲 Mr & Mrs Dickson don’t they know that’s TH-cam Suicide for their channel?? Mike you need to tell them All they have to do is block the comments on the persons who are leaving the rude comments. Yeah they don’t have to stop everyone from commenting, just block the rude ones. Yeah I have 3 channels I like that are in my state of NC: Justin Rhodes, who I found The Hollars thru, Then Your channel who I just recently discovered thru watching the Hollars when you went to help them. These are the only 3 channels I’ve found on TH-cam so far who are homesteading in my State NC! Homesteading has a special place in my heart & I just love homesteading TH-cam channels. But most of them are outta State & You guys, Justin’s channel & The Hollars are the only ones I’ve discovered in NC so far. I’m a Christian man in my 50’s & I’m definitely not gonna leave them a ugly comment. But Mr & Mrs Dickson think about this a min......if im a sub of your channel & I watch ads TH-cam puts up before your videos so you can or any other channel can make money off of........don’t you think 🤔 I deserve to make a comment on your videos? It’s only fair & im not just talking about the Hollars but anyone else that turns their videos comments off. I’m gonna be forced to unsubscribe from their channel if I cannot Make a nice comment to encourage them! Or if I cannot laugh 😆 with them & cry along with them & feel like I’m a part of that channel & friends of the creators! We all work together here! You make the vids, & on all the channels I like I sit thru boring advertisements before or sometimes during videos to help you make money from TH-cam.😁But seriously Not to talk bad about The Hollars by no means, But they only had a couple thousand subs if that many when I subbed. I subbed just as Justin Rhodes introduced me & all the rest of his 550,000 Subs to their channel. And just in about 4-5 weeks the Hollars subs has shot up to 70,000 or 77,000 subs. With that many subs like myself watching all their videos like I have been is making them money from TH-cam!!!!!! Because I know how TH-cam works & channels that close to 100,000 subs start making darn good money 💵. Once you hit 500K & 1 million subs then they start making real serious money. Now I love the Hollars don’t get me wrong by no means, I think Mrs Hollar has the most beautiful smile about everything outlook on life & it’s contagious 😷 & I loved watching because she just brightened my day with her laugh at everything attitude! Kinda the way you do Mike, always smiling 😁ear to ear or laughing 😆! This is what people wanna see on TH-cam, not gloom & doom & all my problems boo hooo & agony on me! You know those kinda people I’m talking about, the drama queens & kings of the universe. Lol 😂 The people that could use a good dose of Jesus in their lives. But anyway back to channels Turning off their comments: Especially a channel where most of their new large surge of subs came over from Justin Rhodes channel & love to leave a comment from time to time. I been on TH-cam many many years from the beginning & my opinion is anyone running a TH-cam channel that turns off their comments is committing TH-cam suicide!!!!! Because subs gonna start dropping off like dead flys on a channel they have no input on at all & cannot feel like a part of that channels creators extended family. After all if it wasn’t for the subs/viewers watching ads, making comments, sharing those videos with other non subs, giving thumbs ups 👍 on videos then absolutely the majority of people wouldn’t make TH-cam videos at all. Why make them if no viewers, and no money? Right? Also TH-cam would be outta business if advertising companies had no format because of no viewers. I guess I’m kinda giving you something to think about too Mr & Mrs Dickson. What I’m really getting at is.....Why punish your channels success, why punish the majority of your subscribers from feeling like they really matter(because they do) by closing down all comments to your channel......All because a few rude comments from people with sour attitudes???? I say any channel including The Hollars that gets very rude comments....... Should block that particular person who left the comment.....Not everyone, Not 70,000 + people!! A very up & coming destined to be a successful farm channel, It’s Not a Homestead channel. But it’s close to a homestead, it’s a Farm channel on TH-cam. Is Josh & his channel is called “The Stoney Ridge Farmer” He’s also a NC channel. Josh has told it on his channel he says he just blocks the ones who continuously leave rude vulgar comments. He blocks them from somehow from making any more comments. He don’t block every single person on his channel from making comments. Josh has build his channel up & he has probably the same amount of subs as Justin Rhodes does if not more! According to the TH-cam estimates channel they say He’s probably making $350-$400 per vlog that he posts now & he probably does 3-4 vlogs per week. So yes the subs, likes, shares, & comments matter on TH-cam channels!!!! I know one TH-camr Making $2000 even $2500 per vlog on every single vlog they put on TH-cam! He’s also doing about 3-4 vlogs per week & He’s making so much money that he’s giving cars & expensive things away for tax write offs! When you start getting several hundred thousand subs you can make a good living. When you start getting millions of Subs your vlogs can really generate quite a bit better than a good living. Like get you wealthy in a couple of years type money! I sure hope The Hollar Homestead turns the comments back on & only blocks the rude ones from leaving comments, I sure love & miss Mrs Hollars Cheerful contagious laughter & joyful attitude. It makes me smile & puts me in a good mood! Kinda The way You Mike & your lovely wife do when I watch yall! No offense Mike but your wife was drop dead gorgeous when you took her out to eat at that fancy restaurant a few weeks ago with her beautiful long hair let down!!!!! Wow 😲 Hot 🥵 as a firecracker 🧨 The bomb 💣! Lol 😂 Yeah I see what you seen in her now brother..... Woooooooooo Weeeeeeeeeee smoking 💨 Hot 🔥! Also whoever said anything in that video about her weight is a Moron! She’s perfect just the way she is, which is 🔥!!!!!! 😁 Just nevermind me Mike I’m too old to chase after your wife! Now if I was 15 yrs younger & She was single: then Mike i live in NC & I’d have given you a run for your money buddy! ☺️😊😂 But (IF) A bullfrog had wings he wouldn’t bump his hind end every time he leaped either! Lol 🤣 But the way it is she’s married & im old enough to be her daddy, Then Mike I will just call your beautiful wife my TH-cam God Daughter! Lol 😂 I love you guys & what you are doing on this channel with your Gardens & the way you raising your kids to be kind, loving, respectful, responsible, God fearing decent human beings!!!! Please keep up the good work. And I promise I won’t send another comment as big as a book 📖 Like this one! Lol 😂👍
We interview people that we know, meet along the way, etc... We don't discriminate on who we talk to because of skin color. She buys from Johnnys Seeds.
you prolly dont care at all but does someone know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot my password. I would appreciate any help you can give me
@Baylor Alejandro I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
This video is gold! We have Curtis Stone's book The Urban Farmer, which is also a wonderful source for info on microgreens, but this video really addressed the important questions. So many of us starting out need the basics, and this video provides that. Thanks for putting it together and sharing with us. ♡
Thank you Mike for this video, I've been very interested in micro greens for their nutritional value. Since my husband Michael has been dealing with cancer and we've decided the medical community has really nothing to offer, homeopathic choices are the way to go. That is one reason I enjoyed following your channel I learn so many helpful tips. God bless you and your family, can't wait to see you guys at the Hierloom expo soon😍😇
Kathleen Perdue, You are on the right path! Please, think about distilling your water then add minerals back. Water is life. I also use mine to make my own Colloidal Silver. Both of these things are very easy to do, look for beginner's groups (a wealth of generous info). I'm a 70 year old Vegan with no health issues & I've not even had a cold in almost 50 years! Blessings for you & your family's health 💞👵
I would like to see her spread sheet we grew n distributed micro greens for 4 almost 5 years and barely would make around 24k a year I find it hard to believe she doesn’t have another income that helps subside her farm income especially growing in greenhouse in winter micro greens dnt do well endless it’s heated greenhouse which then gives you another cost to pay 💰 I would not recommend to start a farm to be profitable at least not rich profitable u might live well n eat good but you can’t buy a lambo
Very inspiring! We started supplying some vegetables to a local cafe here in Lexington and they have asked us about doing micro greens for them. Jess and I neither one have ever grown them so this was very helpful.
Just starting watching and this has been incredible to view. Thank you for the wealth of knowledge shared in this! I'm excited to make my own mircogreens.
Mike I really appreciate and admire your positive attitude. So many TH-camrs nowadays are being negative and nasty and putting others down. Making wise cracks about this or that. It’s completely turned me off. I’ve NEVER heard you or Lacey be that way. You’re even out promoting someone who others would see as “competition!” You and your family have such amazing and beautiful spirits. I just wanted to say thank you and not let that part of you, your channel and business go unnoticed!! God Bless you all and please keep doing you!! ~Lisa
My favorite shows are on TH-cam. I love fit farmer Justin Rhodes art and Bri so the land Roots & Refuge and I really like Cross Timbers. Bison what. I like the arms family Homestead and so many others like deep south Homestead. I raise chickens in Denton North Carolina and before I got sick with cancer and fibromyalgia I had a great big Garden. We live on about 5 Acres and my son is 33 now and he would like to one day come here and have his own son Homestead. Our daughter is 23 and lives in Charlotte. She loves the city life after growing up in a small town her whole life. Lycee your mom was my nieces school bus driver when they were in elementary school at Mount Pleasant. It is a small world. I'm sure I've left some out but I try to watch all the logs that you guys put out because I enjoy them so much more than anything TV has to offer. I spend a lot of time resting these days. I feel like I live vicariously through you and your Gardens and raising your animals. I only have dogs cats and chickens. But I'm nearly 60 years old and not in good health. My husband is 68 and he is not in the best of health either. We are trying to revive our old Greenhouse so that we can grow a small bit of our food again. He spent a long time taking care of me in the last 7 years due to my illness. I miss gardening very much and it makes me very happy to see you all doing such a wonderful job and spreading the word about gardening and homesteading. I remember always pointing out to my husband that way through this or we grew that or these are our eggs and things like that. We butchered a couple of roosters that needed to go because they were very aggressive and wanted to keep attacking my husband and our little small dog. They never bothered the Rottweilers LOL. Keep up the good work and I'll keep watching. I am going to try to get out this year and do a little more gardening. I did grow some herbs and flowers this past summer and I still have oregano from Summers and Summers past. My parsley is on its second year and I dread to see it go because it is the curly parsley and that is my favorite. We had to fence our garden to keep out the chickens. They try to destroy my green beans! I still have seeds that I have saved from those days and I share them with my sisters who also enjoy gardening. They also enjoy your videos. I have learned a lot from you Lacey with your medicinal plants and my chickens seem to love comfrey which I did not know they could have. But now that I know I forwarded for it and I really enjoy it. Keep up the good work stay healthy and fit. I love your family and I pray for you daily. By the way I have a big hickory nut tree that was blown down by storm if anybody's interested in that for heat or barbecue or whatever. We are just a little bit too old and frail to tackle this giant tree. It was full of nuts when the storm blew it down but I would love to see someone have it and use it.
I tried soil and coco coir and growmats. There was no difference. Microgreens don’t need nutrients because you harvest most of them within a week. Soil is messy and hard to sell at a farmer’s market because you have to cut them and they don’t look nearly as inviting.
We love how y’all highlight other farms in your area! We’ve learned so much from these videos Mike and Lacey! Thank you for sharing this with us!
I highly enjoy that aspect of their channel!!! A wealth of information. I have been lead to so many other local for me farms and homesteaders again providing so much knowledge. So much love Mike and Lacey from just outside of Greensboro, NC. Thank you so much. Completely open to being a volunteer farm hand if yall are ever in need. Hopefully in a couple years l will successful enough to be featured on your channel when things are better established for myself and my family as we branch out our skills into a consumer market.
Fascinating!! Thank you for taking the time to share this story with us Mike and Lacie.
Thank you! I would love to see more videos of local homesteaders and farmers you visit. This was interesting. I had no idea that they were close
I will have to say I’ve never really thought about micro greens until I watched your videos now I want them in my kitchen
Kate's story was really interesting. Thank you and Kate for sharing it, I enjoyed the video.
Enjoyed it Mike, very interesting to meet the folks you interview and learn of their success and be a inspiration to you as well as your viewers! Thanks
I'd love to know how she grows in the winter!? With growing in a greenhouse don't you loose light in the short sunlight seasons?
We use supplemental light in our greenhouse to extend the growing phase, led fixtures are relatively inexpensive to outfit a greenhouse
Awesome informational video! Very generous of her to share her micro biz insights, considering the growth of competitors. Also love the farm experiences. Now Mike, need to figure out what's upcoming in demand but not yet serviced/grown in your area :)
Lemon balm! Dessert restaurants love it
This is such a great and informative vlog. I really enjoyed it!! This is something I could maybe do. Thanks.
You need to add 2 or 3 more ads in between your vlog. This will help you financially.
Thanks Vicki we are working on it. TH-cam moved some options in the creator studio and I'm looking into it.
Not all are ad friendly. A lot are turned off by ads. I only watch ads for channels I enjoy and want to help. When I see to many ads I don’t even bother. Mike if you add one or two more ads I’ll still watch the ads. Great video I’ve been interested in getting into micro greens.
We don't plan on adding a lot of ads to our videos.
No..please don't add ads!!
Laura I can understand why you don't like ads but if you only knew how many thousands of hours we have put into our content and how many sacrifices we have made just to create FREE content (because it doesn't cost you anything to watch) you would want us to make a little more money for what we do.

There is nothing wrong with us wanting/needing to make money for what we do.
nice...well, she's doing the curtis stone in NC. awesome stuff. hope you have got your game together since this vidz was up. I am rooting for you.
Awesome interview! It's great to see people making successful businesses out of a love for gardening
Very interesting interview! Would love to have my back yard look so lush and green! Love the "Be Strong and Grow On". I'll have to remember that one! Blessings from NE Missouri!
You should see if she could give you some of that used soil to add to your plots. The peet would be perfect to balance out all that clay.
Im getting ready to go back to school and have been looking into selling micro greens to offset the cost and $500 a week would make a huge difference Thanks
What a great setup. Wonderful all the knowledge sharing that goes on with the permaculture channels. I can't do any of this, but I still love to learn. You all rock!!!
Really interesting video.
I like that heating system.
Hope you guys all enjoy your pizza night.
Be Strong & Grow On...You've nailed it with that quote lol 🙌🏼
Thank you for sharing
Stay blessed 🌻
Thank you for watching!
i have two accounts one on my phone n one on my laptop and i subbed on both accounts, my mom n bro subbed too because of the wealth of knowledge on this channel, keep up the outstanding work.
I’m super intrigued by sunflower micro greens! How can you buy enough seeds to make it cost effective?
You can purchase them in bulk. Todds Seeds have really good prices.
r.sloyalty.com/r/wDCaPUFGQIG9
If you can, grow the seeds! Mammoth types give you thousand seeds per flower. Takes time but you know what you're getting.
Since you are not going to grow sunflower seeds you do not need to get the best quality seed. Any sunflower seed would work. I will try Walmart bird seeds to see how it is growing.
Checking out the competition, hey Mike?😉🤣🤣👍
Microgreens are the new way to go with farming. Awesome video thanks 4 sharing
More and more microgreens growers suppling the market all the time. Grow strong.
Mike, do you know what Kate was growing in the greenhouse that looked like RED microgreens? Curiosity. Thank you for the video.
It was probably either beets or amaranth.
Thinking of starting micro greens myself. Just need to find out what needs to be watched for as far as bad batches for diseases, and what to sell for price wise
So interesting! Thanks for sharing!
Curious about seeds, how do you harvest them for continuous growing?
Wow, what a great setup....this is a great vlog
Good video.
Fantastic--inspiring! Love field trips!
Amazing
Microgreens to save the world! 🕉🌍💜🙏
The two of you and your children are a great example for all young parents and families today. Keep up the great work!
I’d love to see recipes that you do with your micro greens 🥬
Mix them in a bowl, put little olive oil and salt and enjoy:)
Love theses videos Mike and Lacie
Love this video! Thanks I learned a lot, very interesting.
Awesome awesome awesome great knowledge here thank you so much.
Hi Mike ...hard at it as usual for u ...have u ever heard of a wallpini ...mite work for u ...have a great day, off to barn to clean up ...clean animals are happy animals
....
Yes we have heard of a wallpini. Maybe an option in the future.
I am building one this fall after second cut hay ...will keep u posted on that progress , have a great day ...still roofing , dam rain !
Sister power doing her thang. Plus she's very beautiful.....
Hey do you no the Regulations for selling Micro greens in North Carolina??
Love this
Great video, thanks!
Great interview! 🤗
Nice video
Where do you get the seeds?
Can you grow in the garage?
Great video and info. Sounds like your cam autofocus is starting to go???...there is a motorized noise throughout your video unless it is something from the environment.
The noise in the video is due to us needing a new camera.
mike how can I find your video on growing micro greens
Can you get multiple cuttings?
No not for the majority of microgreens. Sometimes you could get a second cut but for a commercial scale it really isn't profitable.
seems im late to the party, and with an established grower like this, less than 40 miles from us, im thinking its not the answer we thought it was.
Don’t say that lol
Love it. I have tried micro greens on a very, very small scale for the chickens - 2 pans. LOL Thinking about getting back into it again and do more. First one I've seen that uses natural light to do the growing!
Nice

Because I know how TH-cam works & channels that close to 100,000 subs start making darn good money 💵. Once you hit 500K & 1 million subs then they start making real serious money. Now I love the Hollars don’t get me wrong by no means, I think Mrs Hollar has the most beautiful smile about everything outlook on life & it’s contagious 😷 & I loved watching because she just brightened my day with her laugh at everything attitude! Kinda the way you do Mike, always smiling 😁ear to ear or laughing 😆! This is what people wanna see on TH-cam, not gloom & doom & all my problems boo hooo & agony on me! You know those kinda people I’m talking about, the drama queens & kings of the universe. Lol 😂
The people that could use a good dose of Jesus in their lives.
But anyway back to channels Turning off their comments: Especially a channel where most of their new large surge of subs came over from Justin Rhodes channel & love to leave a comment from time to time. I been on TH-cam many many years from the beginning & my opinion is anyone running a TH-cam channel that turns off their comments is committing TH-cam suicide!!!!! Because subs gonna start dropping off like dead flys on a channel they have no input on at all & cannot feel like a part of that channels creators extended family. After all if it wasn’t for the subs/viewers watching ads, making comments, sharing those videos with other non subs, giving thumbs ups 👍 on videos then absolutely the majority of people wouldn’t make TH-cam videos at all. Why make them if no viewers, and no money? Right? Also TH-cam would be outta business if advertising companies had no format because of no viewers. I guess I’m kinda giving you something to think about too Mr & Mrs Dickson.
What I’m really getting at is.....Why punish your channels success, why punish the majority of your subscribers from feeling like they really matter(because they do) by closing down all comments to your channel......All because a few rude comments from people with sour attitudes???? I say any channel including The Hollars that gets very rude comments....... Should block that particular person who left the comment.....Not everyone, Not 70,000 + people!!
A very up & coming destined to be a successful farm channel, It’s Not a Homestead channel. But it’s close to a homestead, it’s a Farm channel on TH-cam.
Is Josh & his channel is called
“The Stoney Ridge Farmer”
He’s also a NC channel. Josh has told it on his channel he says he just blocks the ones who continuously leave rude vulgar comments. He blocks them from somehow from making any more comments. He don’t block every single person on his channel from making comments. Josh has build his channel up & he has probably the same amount of subs as Justin Rhodes does if not more! According to the TH-cam estimates channel they say He’s probably making $350-$400 per vlog that he posts now & he probably does 3-4 vlogs per week. So yes the subs, likes, shares, & comments matter on TH-cam channels!!!!
I know one TH-camr Making $2000 even $2500 per vlog on every single vlog they put on TH-cam! He’s also doing about 3-4 vlogs per week & He’s making so much money that he’s giving cars & expensive things away for tax write offs! When you start getting several hundred thousand subs you can make a good living. When you start getting millions of Subs your vlogs can really generate quite a bit better than a good living. Like get you wealthy in a couple of years type money!
I sure hope The Hollar Homestead turns the comments back on & only blocks the rude ones from leaving comments, I sure love & miss Mrs Hollars Cheerful contagious laughter & joyful attitude. It makes me smile & puts me in a good mood! Kinda The way You Mike & your lovely wife do when I watch yall!
No offense Mike but your wife was drop dead gorgeous when you took her out to eat at that fancy restaurant a few weeks ago with her beautiful long hair let down!!!!! Wow 😲 Hot 🥵 as a firecracker 🧨 The bomb 💣! Lol 😂
Yeah I see what you seen in her now brother.....
Woooooooooo Weeeeeeeeeee smoking 💨 Hot 🔥! Also whoever said anything in that video about her weight is a Moron! She’s perfect just the way she is, which is 🔥!!!!!! 😁
Just nevermind me Mike I’m too old to chase after your wife! Now if I was 15 yrs younger & She was single: then Mike i live in NC & I’d have given you a run for your money buddy! ☺️😊😂
But (IF) A bullfrog had wings he wouldn’t bump his hind end every time he leaped either! Lol 🤣
But the way it is she’s married & im old enough to be her daddy, Then Mike I will just call your beautiful wife my TH-cam God Daughter!
Lol 😂
I love you guys & what you are doing on this channel with your Gardens & the way you raising your kids to be kind, loving, respectful, responsible, God fearing decent human beings!!!!
Please keep up the good work. And I promise I won’t send another comment as big as a book 📖 Like this one! Lol 😂👍
@@MikeTheFitFarmer If most comments were critical then they must be doing something wrong . shutting down comments only drive their regular fans away.
I bet i know what you want to start!!
@The Fit Farmer-Mike Dickson, why dont you interview Black farmers? also where does she get her seeds
We interview people that we know, meet along the way, etc... We don't discriminate on who we talk to because of skin color. She buys from Johnnys Seeds.
Also you can learn about one of our friends min 17:54 on this video th-cam.com/video/1X342AT3x80/w-d-xo.html
Aren’t seeds expensive? Where does she buy them in such large quantities that still provides a profit.
There are companies that sell seeds in bulk for microgreens. Todds Seeds is one an also Johnnys.
I really doubt she made 500 a week every week maybe half the year
People hear the words “I made $500 a week” and magically think that’s $500 in their pocket that they didn’t have before. I wish people would wake up.
so the greens are not just for salads anymore
Love the interview and the ending was great "Be Strong And Grow On" I am stealing that saying fit farmer
I like that quote too. 🙌🏼
I agree, every time l hear that. I smile ( when it's good just feels right)
I think we all should support our local growers and farmers this is so inspirational 2 me thanks Mike❤⚘
you prolly dont care at all but does someone know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid forgot my password. I would appreciate any help you can give me
@Casey Ayaan instablaster :)
@Baylor Alejandro I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Baylor Alejandro it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my account !
@Casey Ayaan happy to help =)
Really do love all the interviews. Very informative and you're good at it!
This video is gold! We have Curtis Stone's book The Urban Farmer, which is also a wonderful source for info on microgreens, but this video really addressed the important questions. So many of us starting out need the basics, and this video provides that. Thanks for putting it together and sharing with us. ♡
Thank you Mike for this video, I've been very interested in micro greens for their nutritional value. Since my husband Michael has been dealing with cancer and we've decided the medical community has really nothing to offer, homeopathic choices are the way to go. That is one reason I enjoyed following your channel I learn so many helpful tips. God bless you and your family, can't wait to see you guys at the Hierloom expo soon😍😇
Kathleen Perdue, You are on the right path!
Please, think about distilling your water then add minerals back. Water is life.
I also use mine to make my own Colloidal Silver. Both of these things are very easy to do, look for beginner's groups (a wealth of generous info).
I'm a 70 year old Vegan with no health issues & I've not even had a cold in almost 50 years!
Blessings for you & your family's health 💞👵
How is he doing now?
Wow! What an operation she's running! We have everything we need to start microgreens, just need the time to get them started.
Great video!
I would like to see her spread sheet we grew n distributed micro greens for 4 almost 5 years and barely would make around 24k a year I find it hard to believe she doesn’t have another income that helps subside her farm income especially growing in greenhouse in winter micro greens dnt do well endless it’s heated greenhouse which then gives you another cost to pay 💰 I would not recommend to start a farm to be profitable at least not rich profitable u might live well n eat good but you can’t buy a lambo
I enjoyed watching your videos...
Very inspiring! We started supplying some vegetables to a local cafe here in Lexington and they have asked us about doing micro greens for them. Jess and I neither one have ever grown them so this was very helpful.
You can do it!
Great encouraging video, makes me want to grow microgreens, it’s fast and looks easy😀👍
Fantastic video, very informative and something I may actually try.
Jimmy
Kate is one fabulous chick! Wow. It’s great to have a mentor. Thanks for sharing her with us.
Just starting watching and this has been incredible to view.
Thank you for the wealth of knowledge shared in this!
I'm excited to make my own mircogreens.
A great interview
Is jute similar or different than hemp.
Well you be considering growing hemp. I am.
M. IL.
Great video, I love microgreens. It's beautiful there, they have a little slice of Heaven ❤
They are really good!
Mike I really appreciate and admire your positive attitude. So many TH-camrs nowadays are being negative and nasty and putting others down. Making wise cracks about this or that. It’s completely turned me off. I’ve NEVER heard you or Lacey be that way. You’re even out promoting someone who others would see as “competition!” You and your family have such amazing and beautiful spirits. I just wanted to say thank you and not let that part of you, your channel and business go unnoticed!! God Bless you all and please keep doing you!! ~Lisa
I love how Lucky leaf is using the elements to grow their microgreens.. big ups . Great interview 😎🙏🌱🌱
Hi..... 🎥👍👍👍
Great interview, very informative as always! Thanks Mike!
Thank you!
That was very interesting , Mike. Microgreens are so healthy and popular now. Great video. 😺💞
This was so interesting!
I loved this video... and, of course andas always, I love you guys too 💗💖💓
Farmers helping Farmers United, Nice Work to Both of You....
Love her green house, good video and informative tyvvm
You are great man sir you are best farmar
That’s a beautiful place she has there also! 👍
Thanks for sharing .😁
Beautiful looking greens (and reds). : )
I am thinking of growing microgreens in Japan. What is the temperature inside the house? How do you lower the temperature?
My favorite shows are on TH-cam. I love fit farmer Justin Rhodes art and Bri so the land Roots & Refuge and I really like Cross Timbers. Bison what. I like the arms family Homestead and so many others like deep south Homestead. I raise chickens in Denton North Carolina and before I got sick with cancer and fibromyalgia I had a great big Garden. We live on about 5 Acres and my son is 33 now and he would like to one day come here and have his own son Homestead. Our daughter is 23 and lives in Charlotte. She loves the city life after growing up in a small town her whole life. Lycee your mom was my nieces school bus driver when they were in elementary school at Mount Pleasant. It is a small world. I'm sure I've left some out but I try to watch all the logs that you guys put out because I enjoy them so much more than anything TV has to offer. I spend a lot of time resting these days. I feel like I live vicariously through you and your Gardens and raising your animals. I only have dogs cats and chickens. But I'm nearly 60 years old and not in good health. My husband is 68 and he is not in the best of health either. We are trying to revive our old Greenhouse so that we can grow a small bit of our food again. He spent a long time taking care of me in the last 7 years due to my illness. I miss gardening very much and it makes me very happy to see you all doing such a wonderful job and spreading the word about gardening and homesteading. I remember always pointing out to my husband that way through this or we grew that or these are our eggs and things like that. We butchered a couple of roosters that needed to go because they were very aggressive and wanted to keep attacking my husband and our little small dog. They never bothered the Rottweilers LOL. Keep up the good work and I'll keep watching. I am going to try to get out this year and do a little more gardening. I did grow some herbs and flowers this past summer and I still have oregano from Summers and Summers past. My parsley is on its second year and I dread to see it go because it is the curly parsley and that is my favorite. We had to fence our garden to keep out the chickens. They try to destroy my green beans! I still have seeds that I have saved from those days and I share them with my sisters who also enjoy gardening. They also enjoy your videos. I have learned a lot from you Lacey with your medicinal plants and my chickens seem to love comfrey which I did not know they could have. But now that I know I forwarded for it and I really enjoy it. Keep up the good work stay healthy and fit. I love your family and I pray for you daily. By the way I have a big hickory nut tree that was blown down by storm if anybody's interested in that for heat or barbecue or whatever. We are just a little bit too old and frail to tackle this giant tree. It was full of nuts when the storm blew it down but I would love to see someone have it and use it.
She seems legit. Happy for her.
I tried soil and coco coir and growmats. There was no difference. Microgreens don’t need nutrients because you harvest most of them within a week. Soil is messy and hard to sell at a farmer’s market because you have to cut them and they don’t look nearly as inviting.
That is such a beautiful setting. Thanks for the info.
Great video. Very informative. Thank you for sharing. I'd never seen you before, you just got a new Sub.
Grow on!! 😁👍
So interesting your vegetable
Now I see ads in your video. And I am not skipping it. Good luck Mike.
Thank you!
Can you help me grow, can you teach me ?
Great interview of the Queen of Green, Mike. Why is cilantro her favorite microgreen?
Thanks so much for passing this on; very resourceful
Micro greens are delicious. Great experience gained today thanks brother.
Thanks for watching!
Ezekiel bread is made with sprouts. I wonder could that be a business?
Great video! Very informative - thank you!
Great video.Why does everyone use weight on seed trays?
Great information. Thanks
Thank you Bonnie!!
