Hmmm… I’ve been hearing about being vegan my entire life and that’s closer to 60 years than 20. I do live in California though. We’ve always had markets dedicated to vegan and vegetarian lifestyles my entire life.
Just buying the land and home.. this is next year! So glad to see a vegan farmer .Rare on the u tubes! I wish he had a channel. I guess just to know somebody else is doing it I certainly know how to garden things to my mama! I wish you would have got to see my place. Thank you very much for bringing us here!
I think he's going to start his own channel! Jay, Joe and myself are going to try to do a vegan gardening/homestead podcast! Probably won't have any time to start until December or January. But stay tuned!!! I'm so excited.
Dude. I'm selfish, but I wish you could find some land near me so we can be neighbors! growing all sorts of good food, and making horror movies, and having events at the farm.
Spring Peepers are my favorite species of frog! I’m a bit of a nature enthusiast and you’re climate is very similar to here in Ontario. I love seeing a vegan homestead! Vegan 11 years here. Great video! I’m mentally garden prepping for our food cost increase 2021
Love it! This is how I farm. Nothing brought in, no fertilizer, pesticides, etc. The way to go. It's great seeing someone else do it! All the homesteaders I see out there are meat, meat, meat. Although I am not a vegan, I do occasionally eat meat, and I have chickens for eggs, I eat a mostly plant based diet and aim to do everything as naturally as possible! Thanks for the video.
Wow you guys, thank you so much for the information! I'm just getting in to gardening and working with the soil micro-biome. Really useful to have examples to look to for veganic growing and homesteading! Just found your channel. Gonna check out more of your vids!
Wow! Wishing I had found your channel long ago! This is fantastic. I am in a few online homesteading groups and I get laughed at and told I cannot be a homesteader without animals 😂 I am a Vermonter but now reside in Scotland. It took some getting used to things being so different, shorter growing season, colder growing season, having to grow tomatoes in the greenhouse and if we want to grow corn, we have to grow it in the polytunnel as the season just is not long or warm enough. It is great for growing squashes of every description as we have such high rainfall. I don’t know why they do not grow more of them here (in the shops they still classify a butternut as an exotic vegetable 🤦♀️😂). I hope you are all staying safe in New England. This is the longest I have been without visiting my family in VT. Hubby is a research scientist and working on covid but has been working with infectious diseases and diseases with no cure for his 25+ year career, so as soon as covid was brought to light, we went into full lockdown as he knew what was going to happen with the spread. Sadly it will be a few more years yet before I can get back home for a visit. Stay safe, and keeping what you are doing!
Really enjoyed this Homestead ! I love the fact he has made that garden with what he has at property! Will really enjoy coming tours of his place..and yours,too.
I bought 5 acres in Nebraska. I am situated in the middle of corporate crops. They have cropdusters fly over twice a season. I try to do everything organic, but I am not sure about the cropdusters overspray Any suggestions to finding out if my plants (asparagus, blackberries, apples, grapes, pears,) are poisoned by the cropdusters? I've lost several tress, I think because of the herbicide they spray. Ive been here 10 years, and the tree die off is recent. It breaks my heart. I have read about people suing the cropdusters that killed their trees. I am now 66, finally retired and wanted to concentrate on my land. So of course, I get cancer. Ugh. All my neighbors have gotten cancer too. Always wondering is it the pesticides and herbicides in the air? And ground water? Any suggestions from anybody about how I go about getting my produce tested would be welcome. Thanks!
Sometimes you have to go to the source and demand to get an answer as what they are using. The are two approaches you can go about is being curious or concerned. Not sure if someone at the city level would be any help. If you must rally together and get a pro Bono lawyer involved. I’m sorry for what your going through. 🙏🏼
Hello. I'm an ethical vegan. I'm not really a homesteader, but I do own a home, and I'm interested in taking small gradual steps to more self-sufficiency. What are your thoughts on freezing harvests in plastic freezer bags. I think they have BPA-free plastic bags now, but I've seen them criticized, supposedly by hardcore anti-plastic people. Do you think their dangers are exaggerated? Do you use them yourself?
Hi there, I use reusuable plastic type bags that I got on amazon 4 or 5 years ago. Ihave seen them everywhere now though. I use them daily on the go, in the freezer and the fridge. They have really held up, I freeze chopped peppers, carrots, fruits, tomato sauce and veggie stock all made from our gardens. I understand the concerns about plastic, but I would do the best you can. I hope this helps.
@@LookAliveYoga Thanks. I'm not really very concerned about them myself, since I freeze things in the bags come in. I'm just trying to sort out the hype from facts.
There is a burning question i really wish to ask, how did Joe manage to get his B12 nutrition in a vegan homestead? Especially back in the day when he started? Is it possible to fortify your own nutritional yeast or perhaps there is a yeast type that exists with B12?
I always been into homesteading for a while now and kinda get confused at how almost every homesteaders was very focused on raising animals. It’s significantly more difficult than living off plants instead, especially with permaculture that doesn’t require much direct attention. Less land needed, less money needed, and less work.
I know sweet potatoes is suppose to be better for your health, but give me potatoes, norlands, viking, kenebec. My wife is from the Philippines and the part she lives in cannot produce potatoes very well. So she likes sweet potatoes, (more than I do at least).
What would it take to completely live off your land as a vegan and make it through the winter? Is it possible to be a self-sustainable vegan without being forced to utilize the food industry to get enough calories?
What's he talking about? Potatoes grow well in 5b and I specifically remember nutritional yeast from the early 90's???? Specialty items weren't a thing (not that I'm aware of anyway, I was a kid!), but we would have nutritional yeast ALL the time on potatoes and popcorn!
the more they eat, the more they breed, and the more they breed, the more they feed. he would not only be feeding the deer, but also the cycle of life. lets turn out some more deer so we can have no fear... of the food here...
You’re in NY State! Fabulous ❤ I am with The Beyond Cruelty Foundation, look me up. Chris C. , head of research. I’m going to be doing a series on small Veganic plant farming for sustainable food sourcing.
Does Joe also have a social media account on instagram or youtube to follow? I am moving back to western NY in couple of months, and a homestead is my goal once we settle down there. Thanks for putting these videos out!
So in a way, he uses water snakes and frogs as pest control, at least he says so. Isn't using animals against vegan ethics? If Avocados aren't vegan because humans transport bee hives around for targeted Avocado pollination, then certainly relying on snakes and frogs as pest eaters (even if they do it voluntarily) also can't be truly vegan?
Exploitation is what your trying to avoid. I don't think transporting bees is bad, it's the fact they're being exploited for their resources that is bad. That practice is associated with the avocados so they are considered a by product of animal exploitation. Letting snakes do what they'll do anyway isn't exploiting them
Maybe vegan farms don't really exist but are just "better farms"? Better farming practices? If I have pest problems: there are spiders, birds, snakes, and frogs that offer free, automatist 24/7 support. Why use cow manure when I can dump a gazillion more nutrients onto the soil with everyday beans?
He converted to being a vegan before it became mainstream, what a legend! Respect.
Hmmm… I’ve been hearing about being vegan my entire life and that’s closer to 60 years than 20. I do live in California though. We’ve always had markets dedicated to vegan and vegetarian lifestyles my entire life.
I was vegan in Idaho 15 years ago…I got SO MUCH HATE. Bet you there are tons of vegans there now lol 😂
I wish I had a friend like him to teach me how to do veganic farming! My dream is to start my own veganic homestead someday. What an impressive dude!
What are you trying to do? :)

I’ve been looking for vegan homestead shows 🎉. Thank you.
so cool! does he has a youtube channel? we need mor vegan permaculture content!
I tried to message him, but haven't heard back yet! Once I locate him, I'll try to shoot another video with him!
The layout was so well done. Especially with the pond. I can’t wait to see what you will do on with gardening in the future!🌱
This should be the future!
That's what I want to do, someday. Joe is so knowledgeable and experienced. We need to know more! (notification 22 hours late, what?!)
I have 2 more videos with Joe I'll be posting next week!

An interview with another homesteader! Nice 😎👍
❤this! So inspiring and I truly admire his resolve and how the courage of his dedication has come to fruition 😊
This is so cool. So inspiring!
What a great video 😁 so exciting to see a vegan homestead!!! We need more videos. Does he have his own channel?
He doesn’t have his own channel BUT he is going to be sending me 45 minutes of video from his new place that I’ll be editing and posting soon!
Really enjoyed this Homestead ! I love the fact he has made that garden with what he has at property! Will really enjoy coming tours of his place..and yours,too.
I just found your TH-cam channel and, I’m blown away at all the beautiful food your growing. ❤️😋 Thank you for sharing your labor of love with us .
I definitely want to see more! What an awesome place.
Awesome! Looking forward to more videos on this.
Thank you Jon and Joe. Loved the garden. Thanks for the tour.
Literal garden goals! Great vid!
Can't wait
That's so good! I can't wait for the next videos!
This is so interesting. Thanks for the video!
Love what you’ve set up! I think you could benefit from more water catchment infrastructure. Lots of possibilities.

Love this, returning to upstate New York in a few weeks. This is my goal.
Finally, someone on TH-cam who has to contend with deer like I do.
Look into wicking beds they are the best in a drought. Love from Australia
Plant some food for the deer also - they need some help.

This looks good 👀. I’ll be back
Well, would you look at that
Would you mind sharing what Joe's TH-cam channel is?
Thank you! Great video all around.
Love the garden!
Thanks for sharing this video.

How do I move in ??
Check out the new videos I just uploaded with joe giving us a tour of his new place!!

Wait... you don't HAVE to eat animal flesh and animal by-products to be healthy and prosperous?! I've just been red-pilled!
Lol, yea its quite the epiphany for many
I already left a comment that weird I just got the notification 2 Days Later?
yeah the tube has been messed up lately
All I can say is 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I think he was referring to sweet potatoes which are typically a warmer climate crop than regular potatoes
Does Joe have a page or social media?
Why not let the deer in and feed and take care of them?
the more they eat, the more they breed, and the more they breed, the more they feed. he would not only be feeding the deer, but also the cycle of life. lets turn out some more deer so we can have no fear... of the food here...
if he doesn't... he is a murder of animals :P (i just watched a vegan indirectly and passively kill animals, with his wall)
He probably does to an extent. I plant food for the dear outside my fence which also supports beavers, etc.
@@angelocarantino4803 that's great. Everyone needs to care for the wildlife around them. This world belongs to them as much as it does to us
You’re in NY State! Fabulous ❤ I am with The Beyond Cruelty Foundation, look me up. Chris C. , head of research. I’m going to be doing a series on small Veganic plant farming for sustainable food sourcing.
Does he have youtube/ insta??
No, however I do have a couple unedited videos of Joe at his new location. I’m looking to edit and upload those this spring!
To vegan guy. Hope he does his own channel. Too many adverts!
Does Joe also have a social media account on instagram or youtube to follow? I am moving back to western NY in couple of months, and a homestead is my goal once we settle down there. Thanks for putting these videos out!
Strict vegan ? Hummm- vegan sugar? Idk..
This guy seems lonely. He should offer an apprenticeship program

Letting snakes live as normal on ur property is exploitation? 😂
