Thanks, I enjoyed the history of the farm. I have a truck patch garden and have been thinking of expanding and doing farmers markets. Went to a few this morning and was disappointed that more crafts were sold than veggies. Have 3 more to look at next week but heck, i could provide a lot more, just need help selling. Love the Channel
Are you excited, yes. Epic Jason. Buy really, its great so see these young people in nature away from cell phones and tictok crap. Hopefully they will remember these experances and learn from them.
Jason, when I found out that you are a runner, that was a very a-ha moment. I used to run long cross-country and dominate. Don't have time for that anymore but have a lot of good memories. Running like that really helps the mind and focus. I can see that in your organization of things and leadership. I am going to see if I can set up a trailer for next season to sell our produce and fruit at the market just like yours. There will be some differences but will be very close to your parameters. Really enjoyed your sharing of your history. Our farm started in 1865 and we still carry water licenses from the 1800s so we can keep everything going. Keep bring them to TH-cam, Jason.
You might appreciate this: I also compete in FKT's, fastest known times, there is an actual a website and a governing body for this and it's world wide. It's basically an individual speed record on a trail, and there is no second place, only the newest fastest time is recorded on the site. There are three styles, supported, unsupported and self supported. I've held about 6 different ones over the years, they have all gotten beated except one currently. I held all three catagories on the 350 mile Sheltowee Trace in Daniel Boone NF in Kentucky and TN over the past 5 years. I still hold the supported record of 6 days and 9 hours...56 miles per average per day of run/walk...it was brutal! Amazing how long your farm has been in the family, that is awesome! Thanks so much!
Thank you for sharing your background and name of your farm - Jason 😀 That's a lot of cantaloupe - they look amazing 💯 already looking forward to the next video 👍📸🙏
Pumpkins are a fun crop to grow and harvest but this will be our first year not having them since 1999! I'm ready to enjoy this October with some travel.
Nice meetong you Jaso n Wish i am Stephen Bradury from Australia. I livel in a farming area hrow veg, cows and fismhin. Love your streaming. Keep it going 😅
I subscribed because one of my favorite TH-camrs Pricilla Blaine, The Real Housewives of Cross Stitch recommended you. Aka Stitching with the Housewives. If you get slot of women subscribers this week you’ll know why. She has a beautiful garden she shows updates on. Her daughter too. They’re into gardening big time.
Summer is sure a rush. At our peak we ran the 6115m in creeper mode with 1 catcher for 2 bins and 3 pickers. We're smaller now. Our market takes about 300 melons and 3 bins of watermelon. It's interesting to see how the markets work up there. I think the farmers market farmer is probably taking the most complicated job there is. We're down to our last melon field in a couple weeks, looking forward to the rest.
complicated is a good way to put it. sometimes not sure it's worth all the stress with how intense the summers are. definitely scaling back some more next year....we are already scaled back about 20% from where we were 10 years ago, but I can't keep this up without a full time farm manager helping me out.
@@bishop_walter i’m gonna have to do a special video just on the peddler trailer cause I’ve gotten dozens of questions about it The kit comes from rainbow industries in Springfield, Ohio.
So with your backpackers do you pay piece rate or hourly rate. I know they changed alot of the rules here in Australia and I pretty sure everyone is on an hourly rate now on the farm.
What tractor would you recommend for a good do all? It needs to run a 2550 mulch layer, transplanter, and till soil. Also pull a 7000 planter. Thinking 4020. Or would a 3020 work? Diesel or gas? I want to do 10 acres next year mixed of plastic vegetables, then pumpkins and sweet corn fields
I think a 3020 would work for everything you mentioned other than possibly the tillage. It all depends what you are pulling and how deep you want to go, but it would definitely be helpful to have a 4 x 4 for that or at least 4020. Our 4230 can pull a three bottom plow, but I don’t moldboard plow anymore, just chisel plow with a large 4 x 4. Another good all purpose tracker would be the 4010, we love ours, and all these tractors are diesel by the way I would not go with gas.
@@wishwellfarms thanks for the response! I’ll keep watching local auctions aswell. My dad has a jd 301a diesel that’s a great tractor so I think any of what you listed makes sense
@@jerryriggedadventures3173 I really don't, because the only 4x4 we have on our farm is a big case magnum MX215 for pulling our 12 row corn planter on our grain farm.
Rainbow Industries in Springfield Ohio build the kits which include the steel frame and covering. You provide the flat bed wagon or utility trailer. I built the shelving inside.
I nice to see young teens learn farm on their vacant time teaching lesson on life hardworking farming
Love our video. We will be watching 🦋🌻🐝
Great video I watched with a smile the whole time. Kids working hard and having fun doing it.
I love how it looks like the youngins are having so much fun picking the cantaloupes together. That's what it's about!
😊
That scene reminded me of the old days when i went harvesting watermelons with my parents.
Great video. Looks like the kids have a great time working for you. God Bless.
Looking at your produce always makes me hungry😊
Farms the heart of America
Fun video.

Great young crew! Where are you located? I farm in nys. I grow speciality vegetables. I miss having the young people work with me.
Thanks, Ohio.
Where is the commercial kitchen tour? Nice cantaloupe.👍
Probably a September video when we are making relish and once harvest slows down a bit
At that age the only thing you are excited about is pay day😂😂😂
truth! and getting done with work!
I may have missed it in another video but where do you get the canopies for your utility trailer conversions?

I can pay them how ever I choose, and we pay hourly.

What was the variety of cantaloupe and seedless watermelon?
Red garnet and El Capitan watermelon and avatar and Aphrodite cantaloupe
Catcher in the canteloupe > Catcher in the rye . Girls-catchers obviously enjoy the process,maybe even flirting with guys )
hahaha, they take turns catching, actually the guys are much better catching especially when a cantaloup is hurled from four rows away!
Where can I buy a trailer like your produce trailer?
