    Justin your homestead is just as great and efficient as the ones you visited, you should be pleased. I remember Pete when he was at your place, another smart man. His wood chip mountain is amazing, what great soil he will be making. I wish him great success with his farm. Sad that the Market you were at can call itself a "Farmers Market". We have the same here in Alberta Canada but where I moved from in BC Canada the Farmers Market had to be all home grown and home made goods. There are always dishonest people waiting to take advantage of the masses. I love how comfortable Henry is in Petes arms.

    💖your video! Actually, your children caught my attention right away and I followed them around. They pick out the greatest things to focus on. When they come to a stop it is time to really look at what they are looking at! The adults were not too bad. Loved all the fun you were all having! Great time! Take care. ❇❇❇

    SMALL WORLD! I JUST started watching you and Joel Salatin in preparation for ramping up our homestead a little bit. My sister, Vanessa, worked at ECHO a few years ago and meet my BIL, Craig, there. I sent them this video and Craig said,
    “Whoa! That’s fun. I built that building that the pigs are in deep litter composting. And we are good friends with the farmer he talks to at the Farmers Market, his name is Danny Blank he’s from CA and he used to work at ECHO.”
    My sister and I are from Northern CA. Craig and Vanessa are now in East Africa working at a hospital and helping to bring these types of systems to that area.
    We’re just here in Nor. CA starting to use our new 2+ acres.
    LOVING YOUR VIDEOS/IDEAS!! ❤🐓🐖

    I'm so glad you were able to bring your kids! I tried to schedule a visit last spring and they weren't allowing a brood of kids to take the tour. Sadly we never went bc we have 5 young kids and turned to more local growers and Pete up here north of Tampa. Thank you for allowing us to tag along! I hope they start to allow small groups of kids in the future. It's all about learning, at all ages.

    We used to sell at a small Farmer's Market in NH, and they had a rule that everything had to be grown or made by the seller. Kept the resellers out. I went to the Boston Market once, and was dismayed to see all the resellers -- wasn't what I thought of as a 'farmer's' market at all.

    When your kid said how are they gonna get the track loader in the pig pen I couldn’t help but laugh! You need to stick him in there with a pitch fork and a wheel barrel and he will change his tune. Hard work makes people way different then someone who gets to use a track loader for most of the hard stuff. It is very interesting how they farm down there

      Locust Valley Farms, you forget that we see 20-30 minutes of their full day. Lily works with Justin. Jonah is out moving animals, dealing with bedding and taking care of Henry, as well as troubleshooting or cleaning the kitchen. Josiah is the pig man. Pigs are a challenge all their own, dumping food, water, and testing fences. Each one of his kids are hard workers. The track loader is a new thing, so Jonah can’t wait to try that too. He can be seen in many a video with a pitchfork in his hands, dealing with deep bedding.

      Brown recluse do not live in mulch piles and aren’t native to Florida and have only been found established in a few building in Florida. They prefer indoor spaces and are most likely brought in when people move old boxes of clothes/household items to the state.
