@@CharlesDowding1nodig All I learned from you I brought to my kitchen garden, which gives hours per day of enjoyment to my granddaughter while she works along with me. Once she is old enough, currently 33-months, I will explain to her that it is your mentoring we follow. Thank you for this pleasure!
Fantastic! As a customer of the Four Acre Farm CSA I can only say the quality of the produce is amazing! Kate is also inspiring and so passionate about the land and future food systems. Well done all!
Wish this woman all the best. She said it in one... "Funny what people value they'd pay more for flowers but won't pay no where near for something that will sustain them"
That comment stood out to me too, kidd Capri. What a wonderful opportunity the flower sales can be as a segue (transition) into discussing food. Since many flowers are also edible, Kate could (& perhaps does) discuss how the flowers can be used in meals people prepare. And that can lead to discussions about food pairings that can go with the flowers being purchased. So many opportunities for teaching/learning. The flowers can be what initially brings people to Kate's gardens, which can lead to community members learning about how to use them as food as well as a way to brighten up a place where they're displayed. There are many possibilities ... kudos to you, Kate, for this massive endeavor!
I feel her pain. But it’s worth it. And little by little. Our family moved to this homestead less than 2 years ago, cleared piles of garbage, brought in good soil, planted massive gardens, raised rabbits, chickens and sheep, boiled all our own maple syrup and haven’t made a dime 😅. It’ll come!! Keep up the good work. It’s spreading. Love and prayers from Nova Scotia Canada 🇨🇦
This year I put self-saved seeds from my crop of heirloom beans into all my gardener friend's and family's stockings. The beans originally came from our local no-dig organic garden in suburban Northern California. They are doing exactly what Kate is trying to do and it's brilliant! Many kudos to her and her vision!
This is astounding how much was accomplished in such a short time. Truly impressive and her outlook is so positive. Thanks for this. Gives me hope that small farms still have a chance. Yes!
Amazing Kate. I am one of the lucky ones who got to go to the farm and enjoy the produce wholeheartedly. I can’t speak highly enough of Kate, her dedication to the planet and her enthusiasm 💚🙏
very inspirational! Here I am sitting behind the laptop on a cold winter day after our own first season as a no-dig market garden, seeing so many similiarities but also noticing the differences - Kate has an incredible drive and ability to have achieved all this in one year, I feel a deep respect for that!
We are all different! She is very good at organising and motivating other people, as well as working hard herself. Commitment, desire, imagination of the growth are all important.
Such a great project and Kate seems to be the right person for it. She seems to have a great outlook on the food to plate side of things. I wish Kate and her team every success in the coming years. Thanks for sharing what she is up to and I hope we can get an update or two in the future.
What an inspiring interview from a new grower. They have clearly managed the first hurdle of 'meeting the rent', but also have success in the community for their produce. May good winds drive them forward.
Thank you Charles for introducing your viewers to such an inspirational project. Kate, Mollie and all who have helped have achieved so much in only a year. Have they considered starting a channel of their own? Charles, your dedicated work and the way that you share your knowledge, skills and experience has inspired so many. Flowers, a gift of flowers can nourish someone emotionally and bring a luxury of beauty into their home. A gift never forgotten, they bring a warm feeling similar to being fed a delicious meal but slightly different.
I didn't see them as being dismissive of the value of flowers, but simply observing the unhealthiness of modern values, the willingness to spend a lot of $ on luxuries and be aghast at what's actually a barely fair ( for the grower) price for foods, and high quality, nutrient-dense, poison-free foods at that. Here in the US, many won't pay their neighbor $3 a doz for eggs ( 10 years ago) but will throw $ around on all sorts of other trinkets, impulse buys, hair salon visits and yes, flowers. Some of those things may feel the spirit and make life worth living or reduce stress, but generally, Americans have gone overboard on them and are stingy cheapskates when it came to healthy food, even for their beloved children. They'll spend $2 on candy but don't do the math or think of the nutritional value on the backyard, OG, free-ranging eggs you have on offer, thinking $3 a doz is steep. I'm not angry, btw, just hoping drive home how convoluted too many people's thinking, or lack therof, HAS been when it came to what they out in their bodies and prioritized financially. Esp. in societies where they're expecting others to pay for their health care.
Thanks Charles for sharing this story. And what a beautiful garden Kate. That you can make delicious dishes, I was able to taste that myself with Charles after helping in the No-dig garden. Now I see the result of your gardening dream and am even more impressed. Much success in the new year.
I just love Kate’s 4 acre farm. I’ve wanted a farm for years. I just can’t afford it yet but maybe leasing is the way to get into it. So cool to see a fellow chef living the dream of growing and cooking beautiful vegetables, herbs, flowers and fruits. Thanks for sharing this inspirational video Charles.
Derek - yes, many people have done that, leasing, bartering, borrowing, other agreements. Curtis Stone " The Urban Farmer" TH-camr and very successful market gardener ( alas, wasn't no-till ! ) is now moved on to other personal projects, but has vast YT content up yet on all his years "Urban farming" with much on how he started out renting people's yards. Has a fee interviews with others doing it too, I think. Obviously, this doesn't just have to be in town or small yards :). Greg Judy's YT channel also speaks of leasing farming land, some of which he's been eventually able to buy, and Joel Salatin leases some too. Pastures pigs, grazes cattle on them. Sets up simple-enough sounding watering solutions. Both are regenerative farmers usually holistically planned grazing ( See Alan Savory's presentation at Harvard, on YT. It has a slide I didn't see in his other speeches).
I need myself someone like her! She understands the importance of growing your own. The fact she is helping out the community while doing it is amazing!
Just in case Kate, and her friends haven't seen them, for flower growing, arranging, and drying, I highly recommend they take a look at Serina, and Ian, from You Can't Eat The Grass, on here, and Instagram. They don't follow no dig, but they are on sandy soil, a short growing season, with high/dry heat conditions in Canada. A wealth of hard earned experience, and shared information for anyone wanting to grow flowers for selling. That soil is a sad thought in the immediate, but one can only imagine the year on results of giving it some great care. I hope you had a good Christmas, Charles, and wish you all the best for the new year 💚
Seasons Greeting Charles. As I approach my second year no dig I’m always inspired by you and the likes of Huw. Bring it on 2023. Happy up and coming New year sir 👍
What a woman! It's so great to see Charles backing people like these! I hope she can find a way to make a living doing this. It may take some iterations but I know she'll find a way.
Great job, It is so inspiring!! Is what we need, different examples to understand how much positive benefits has ,to grow food for the community. Creating new jobs and marketing strategies is the pice that needs to evolve, and here you give some that are beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing.
Well done. I have tried it all digging weed pulling and being disheartened by more weeds. Going to try the no dig this year and will see what will happen. 🌿
Wow! Thank you so much for bringing to our attention this refreshing and amazing young woman on her 4 Acre Farm! What a colossal task she took on, but she has a clear vision that drives her. I see a lot you, Richard Perkins and Matthew Evans of Fat Pig Farm here in Australia happening all over this beautifully set up market garden, and her value adding plans for the future! Kudos to her and her business partner, and wishing them the very best from Oz.👩🌾👩🍳
Inspiring! My husband and I just moved to a retirement village where i will be taking over an existing (boring) garden. Let's hope I can navigate the HOA!
Good job Kate, respect. This is very important knowledge for the next generations. Charles gave you the skills as a teacher . Now you doing great on your one your way. Love to hear how children eating out of the garden that is a wonderful knowledge they learnt. I grow little garden veggies and my grandkids love to eating fresh from the plant 🙋🌼 happy blessed growing year 🐝🍓🥬🌽🧅🍠🍏🥦🥒🧄
Wonderful interview and what a great job she is doing. I hope many people will see what she is accomplishing and do the same thing. Our world needs it. Thanks for bringing this wonderful person to us.
@@CharlesDowding1nodig Look forward to it. I'm hoping to get a small communal veg plot started on some of the land near where I live going next year. I wanted to do it this year but started too late (i.e. July/Aug) and got too side tracked getting herbaceous borders started before winter sets in. It's great seeing these videos to get an idea of what's achievable. Whilst I've not managed to get much veg started this year, I've got epic piles of grass clippings, horse manure and leaf litter collected ready to compost!
Wow, what an inspiration. I'm so pleased to see such a refreshing attitude to food production. Keep up the great work and let's hope others follow your lead
What a totally admirable and amazing lady, good on you , you are such an inspiration and I wish you every bit of luck in the whole world. Just fantastic. Good luck xxx
Wow, she and her friends sure took on a lot for just starting. Great to hear locals want to get food locally produced without all those chemicals. The local region apparently has little market garden outlets which makes this a good location.
Fabulous,, when you love gardening so much,, it’s a way of life ,, and then it becomes your job ,, you are both inspirational and fantastic No Dig educators ,, well done ,, best wishes, Lisa
A beautiful young lady whose enthusiasm is to be admired. Thank you for taking us with you to see how she is faring. Wishing her and friends the very best of success.
What a wonderful video. Listening to someone who has become inspired by you Charles and so dedicated to improving the quality of food and the soil which it is grown out of, also the challenges she has overcome and the challenges ahead. Cheers!
Such an Inspiring young woman , in a world that has become so dependant on consuming processed foods, growing your own or atleast being able to access organic healthy vegetables is the road to a healthier way of life , its not just producing good food but growing your own is good for mind and body.
Thanks for posting this. The amount of transformation that these people have achieved in less than one year is very impressive. I wish them a long and successful future for their market garden.
My grandson is 7 , i got him interested in vegetable growing last summer , now he can't wait for the spring to come quick enough . He's fascinated by Tomatoes , how from green they ripen to red .
So what I would like to know more about is ordering seeds. I am getting my catalogues now. I understand about zones but not about varieties that would do well here or if I need organic seeds. Are all seeds modified? Etc?
Kate reminds me of myself. She has many ideas, completely enthralled by her work, and inspired to share with visitors and guests. Thank you for this. I’m facing similar issues here in regards to soil history.. Also I heard that we are within the same time frame, one year, as far as going from a tillage farm into no-till farm. I understand the struggles. Seeing what’s working with her farm helps me proiritize projects I have. Being on a farm with only myself working it, is a challenge, but seeing Charles’ success and others work inspired by him, keeps me going. Thanks for the video Charles. Thanks for sharing Kate.
The lunch Kate made for the Homeacres course I attended in 2021 was one of the most wonderful things I've ever eaten! Glad to see she is doing so well with this new venture. I would love to attend a field-to-table course if they go ahead with them 😍
It just looks amazing after such a short period of time. You can see all the love and energy that has gone into it. I sincerely hope that they succeed and are there for years to come.
So inspiring. And being in a farming community they have the option of importing manure from neighbours to do some large scale composting. I've done that at home and getting amazing quality compost from neighbour's waste
Cześć Charles,jestem z Polski uwielbiam twoje programy,rady Jestem 50+ chętnie popracowałabym w okresie letnim u Ciebie,w zamian za zakwaterowanie i Twoją naukę, doświadczenie.Pozdrawiam♥️
Cześć, dziękuję za komentarz i chciałbym pomóc, ale w tej chwili nie mam tu miejsca dla wolontariusza. Możesz wysłać e-mail na adres admin@charlesdowding.co.uk, a jeśli coś się pojawi, zobaczymy.
Great video - Totally inspirational and also realistic. What an amazing project , so good to hear that there is a growing interest for real food and connection as to why supermarket food is not often giving us the nutrition we need . Best wishes with this amazing project and thank you all for sharing your great energy. ✌🌿
WOW Charles what a Fantastic young woman with a Vision & Dream- she will succeed that young lady because of her determination. Great Video Thank You - Cheers Denise- Australia
There is a part of me who would like to grow commercially like this, and it is inspiring to see Kate managing to make a business so quickly (though with immense effort no doubt). It seems she knows how to use her gardening, cooking skills and market access to make a sustainable business, so she can go far with this I'd say!
Hi Charles, I really enjoyed seeing and hearing what that young lady was creating with her garden area. What a wonderful place she’s making. Thanks for the program. (Old guy from Arkansas)🇺🇸
@@CharlesDowding1nodig here in north Arkansas it got down to 3 degrees, our neighbor forgot to leave water running in the sinks and her house pipes froze and got water all over the place. We’ve had 50 or 60 people die in the USA from it. We’re ok and today was great. Went and worked at the cabin. Take care my friend.
This is lovely. Charles is smiling like a proud dad. She is an inspiration
😀 so funny and I see what you mean, had not thought of it!

Lovely to hear!
How wonderful to see the next generation think No Dig and Growing the Soil are the best way to live. Brilliant!!!
Wish this woman all the best. She said it in one... "Funny what people value they'd pay more for flowers but won't pay no where near for something that will sustain them"
Yes , but flowers sustain the spirit.......and thats super important too .

Her journey would make a great book.

@@classicrocklover5615 that is so kind of you! Thank you for your encouragement!!
I hope that your efforts pay off soon. Sounds like you had a lot of up front costs. But in the meantime I presume your own produce tastes really good.
@@Digeroo123 THANK YOU! We’ve been so blessed by what we’ve been able to grow! God is good ❤️. Blessings from Canada.

The sheer amount of physical labor that went into this is impressive. Nice work! Can only get better from here!

Nice to see that a former chef really values the quality of soil and understands how to produce nutrient-rich produce, good luck to you Kate.

@@CharlesDowding1nodig Look forward to it. I'm hoping to get a small communal veg plot started on some of the land near where I live going next year.

You are an inspiration to a new generation of land and food use
So what I would like to know more about is ordering seeds. I am getting my catalogues now. I understand about zones but not about varieties that would do well here or if I need organic seeds. Are all seeds modified? Etc?
Amazing
Such an amazing tour of what looks like a wonderful (and challenging) project.
That's a very inspiring watch. Well done Kate.

Great Job Kate! Keep up the good work.
A fabulous garden, and testament to the no dig model to revive damaged soil.
Wonderful to see the joy in your eyes for this 'seed' you have sown Sir Charles😊. I would like to summarize this beautiful video as simply as: HOPE.
So nice thankyou!
WOW Charles what a Fantastic young woman with a Vision & Dream- she will succeed that young lady because of her determination. Great Video Thank You - Cheers Denise- Australia
Well said Denise x
There is a part of me who would like to grow commercially like this, and it is inspiring to see Kate managing to make a business so quickly (though with immense effort no doubt). It seems she knows how to use her gardening, cooking skills and market access to make a sustainable business, so she can go far with this I'd say!
New year project: go for it! 💚
Amazing work! Would love to see more updates on this.
Hope to
Nutritionally dense food. Grown with low environmental impact. With real community values. Requiring hard but rewarding work.
Well done. Inspiring
Thanks 😎
Hi Charles, I really enjoyed seeing and hearing what that young lady was creating with her garden area. What a wonderful place she’s making. Thanks for the program. (Old guy from Arkansas)🇺🇸
Glad you enjoyed it Steven, hope you were ok in the blizzard
@@CharlesDowding1nodig here in north Arkansas it got down to 3 degrees, our neighbor forgot to leave water running in the sinks and her house pipes froze and got water all over the place. We’ve had 50 or 60 people die in the USA from it. We’re ok and today was great. Went and worked at the cabin. Take care my friend.

Thanks for making these wonderful videos, you've inspired me to start my own gardening channel! 😀😀😀
Go for it Eden and you have the name for it 💚, climate too
