- (NOTE: Filmed in 2020) Located in Washington, DC, Little Wild Things Farm is inspiring the next generation of farmers to build a brighter and more sustainable agricultural future. They produce soil-grown microgreens, micro herbs, hydroponically grown salad greens, and edible flowers on a less than one-quarter acre farm in the heart of DC. Little Wild Things Farm is run by an all-woman team operating out of an old parking garage, which has been transformed into a thriving urban farm!
Despite nearly going under during Covid pandemic, Mary Ackley, the founder of Little Wild Things Farm, was able to pivot their entire business model to focus on direct-to-consumer sales that saved the farm. They are passionate about sustainability and making fresh, healthy produce available to their community.

This is so relatable for me as a civil engineering student who wants to start something like modern farm... I've been thinking about this for a very long time and seeing someone became successful in this field has made me extremely happy and confident.
Thank you for making videos about these startups, these are really inspirational 💯
Go for it! Start now and take it one step at a time.
You can do it!
🌱💚💚This is AWESOME To see! Her farm is beautiful & growing in such an amazing way!🌱🌱🌱💚💚
All our edible flowers are 100% indoor- I would LOVE To have outdoor space for tunnels at the micro farm! We use them at the homestead, but thats for our personal garden. :)
That Monastery is supercool! The garden is just perfect beside it 🙂
Beautiful passion! Makes you feel good when you see the mental map and designs come true in reality. Good work!

Hi, we produce gardening planting pots and seedling trays, I guess we can support on your greenhouses.
Is the quick cut greens harvester any good with lettuce?
Sivaraj from india wate type of grow light u use
Are they still around. The URL doesn’t work
😮😢good
What an amazing setup, I would love to have seen them using something other than plastic tubs for the salad greens 🤔 everything else was super cool though 😎🥬
After this was filmed we started a reusable container program which has been awesome! These are all compostable containers, though obviously those have limitations too.
The problem with led growing is its not the same as the healing sun.
In most cases, you can grow indoors with lights and have better yields than outdoors since you can control all the variables.
aka doing what curtis stone use to do
ive been trying for 5 years to find a yard or empty lot to rent its pretty much impossible to do
I believe Mary also had a difficult time finally securing a more permanent location and went through a few other short term options before landing here. So don't be discouraged!
All blond women can be happy in the garden))) good example ))))))
Great farm. It's too bad people are still wearing masks.
Filmed in September 2020
I was inspired by your work originally Curtis! This was mid-pandemic and masks were required by law in DC indoors at the time, and our customers expected it. I still have the spreadsheets I bought from you circa 2014!
@@maryackley1 Nice. Thank you.
Goot
imagine if a male said "a full male team" lol
I can't tell who is who in the group shots. Their faces are covered with useless pieces of fabric for some unscientific reason.
Way to go Mary! You're soooo engineer(ish). Do you take crypto?

You're working outside by yourself and you're still wearing a mask 😂😂😂🎭
Notice the "proud to be all women group" comment, It's just Washington DC, the center of wokeism "culture" :)
There might be people nearby you just can't see them, plus who filmed it?
This might be filmed during the Pandemic, At least watch the trailer of Season 2 of farmers friend, you will see that it focuses on challenges in farming during the pandemic.
For context, this was filmed in mid 2020.
@@FarmersFriend pharmaceutical is highly corrupted.
Shame on the mask pushers
Look behind that. Then you will see something beautiful instead of something negative.
@@oxidatie whats beautiful behind the idea of the mask ?
