Hello my Friend, I am 70 years old with very very BAD arthertis. Having coffee and watching your videos kinda makes the pain go away for a bit. Your channel and the Veggie Boys & Broyland Farms are the BEST channels that I enjoy watching. I use to have a Big garden with all types of stuff but now its a LAWN. PLEASE keep up the GOOD work, speaking for myself nothing better than having coffee in the morning with you and the other Farmers. Love the squeaking of the peppers when you pick them, somebody told me if they don't squeak they are not fresh.
Thank you so much for the kind words. Really glad to hear that you enjoy the videos. Sorry to hear about your bad arthritis. I will keep cranking out the videos for you to enjoy!
Thanks Becky! I’m assuming you are referring to Emma? She is one of our adult employees, my daughter has been in college for the last few weeks, but she was a great worker on the farm for us this summer. She was the one that was in the onion video.
Awesome! I hope you enjoy it! We are actually making our new batch for next year sales today, but unfortunately, I am currently in Michigan wrapping up a kayak trip and will not be home in time to film the process. I’m pretty bummed about that. Joel made a last-minute decision to do it today since he’s starting bean harvest tomorrow.
Yes, I have a video planned very soon explaining in detail why we’re not growing pumpkins this year or opening the on farm market. I’ve talked about numerous times in past videos, but I will do a dedicated video just for this topic
In intervening years,when you had Halloween pumpkins,what was approximate rate of rotten pumpkins as a result of stem poking ? From my experience it can turn pretty ugly.
We are not organic, but we do use organic growing methods in all of our greenhouses. The weeds in the Pepper patch just got out of control this year, once you get behind there’s no catching up but believe it or not the best peppers were in amongst the weeds!
Which crops do you irrigate and which ones you don't. From other videos you don't irrigate corn,green beans (so far) .. what else ... Why don't you plant more green beans for wholesale? You have machine for harvesting and another 1000+ acres. Why do you only plant for retail? Thank you, for this and other videos.
Correct, I don’t really have overhead irrigation unless I set up my solid set aluminum pipes and pump from my pond, but that is basically stationary for frost control on our strawberries that we used to grow. We are only set up to pump out of our well with drip tape Irrigation under the plastic. We grew pumpkins for 24 years and they were never irrigated either. As far as Wholesale green beans, it would be too risky without overhead irrigation as at least 1/3 of our Crop every year gives us terrible yields due to lack of rainfall and I’m not confident that we would be able to fulfill our obligation to deliver enough Wholesale beans without Irrigation. We normally only get three or four weeks of good yields each year in the middle of the season. Yes you are right in that we could probably grow and harvest 20 or 30 or even 40 acres with our land and that harvester, but far too much risk without proper irrigation. Plus, I am far too busy growing and harvesting our other crops. We would have to hire a full-time guy to run the machine every day and we would have to have a dedicated packing shed just for the beans and more cooler space and a way to hydro cool them…The list goes on and on for reasons we’re not able to do that.
You boys are hand-picking I've watched some guys that had a machine that we go through there and it would just kind of air blow the bad ones out it didn't really matter they just go through there and pick it all at one time... What's the difference between a family farm and a commercial farm
Who cares about weeds with all that harvest that's a good yield people that don't know farming don't know it takes money to put that plastic out just saying looks good to me boys...
Your brother just really ticked me off right now when you took a few bites out of a red pepper and threw it away while I'm a senior citizen on a fixed income and can barely afford my groceries to see somebody take a few bites out of a pepper and throw it away that ticks me off
Buy just one and save the seeds! Pretty sure you can scratch up some dirt and throw it in a few throw away buckets! I've been doing it for years and you'd be surprised how much you can grow in a corner or two near a window at least! Help... Yourself!
I’m sorry to hear that. But that is the reality of a vegetable farm, there are hundreds and thousands of items that rot in the field and go unharvested on every farm around the world. We try to send extras to the food bank, but it’s not always easy because they’re often full. The pepper he was eating had several bad spots on it and was going to be thrown away anyways. We kept all the good ones for our Markets.
@@johnlane4367 good grief, I picked one handed for like 15 seconds and had two hours of harvesting with two hands. I don’t like having the go pro attached to my head or my chest. It’s hot and uncomfortable.

The way you manage your farm is so inspiring
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing!
Great video!
I'm twelve years old and I want to be a farmer because of this guy. So inspiring😂❤❤
Awesome, work hard and ask lots of questions from any employer you ever work for and learn all that you can!
@@wishwellfarms ok you
11.2K SUBS!! Yassir! Love yall from Texas! ❤❤
Oh, how we wish we lived near you - beautiful peppers! You are amazing, & so is your family!! God bless y'all! 👍🙏♥️
Thank you so much!
You are farmers with the most beautiful weeds I have ever seen
Ha ha, it’s not all like that. Just the Pepper patch this year, not always easy to control unless you want to spray constant herbicides
Got my Rupp seed catalog today. Can't wait to order next year. Those peppers are something to brag about
Fantastic pepper harvest. They are looking so beautiful. 👍🤗
Nice looking peppers Jason, butternuts and spaghetti squash also look great well done mate 👍 😊😊😊😊
Thanks!
Beautiful produce!!! Your daughter sure is a hard worker. Great family work ethic. God Bless.
Thanks Becky! I’m assuming you are referring to Emma? She is one of our adult employees, my daughter has been in college for the last few weeks, but she was a great worker on the farm for us this summer. She was the one that was in the onion video.
hey,Emma will be fascinated to find out that she looks so young.Emma has two kids herself )
I think those are those are the prettiest red bell peppers I have ever seen!
I bought some relish yesterday, can't wait to try it once it comes in.
Awesome! I hope you enjoy it!

Beautiful produce, thanks for sharing.
Real nice glad those 2nds had a place to go, great way to save money for production plus thier homegrown. Nice size too.
another stellar harvest and video!
Thanks for watching Dan. Glad you enjoyed it!
Just had some of your green beans and butternut squash for dinner. 👍
Awesome, I hope they were good!
those veggies are very pretty and makes me hungry. I would love to try pineapple salsa if that is what it is called.
You need a go pro with a headband strap for when you're picking. Frees up the other hand.. :)
I was wondering if you could explain why you no longer run the farmer market at your farm?
Yes, I have a video planned very soon explaining in detail why we’re not growing pumpkins this year or opening the on farm market. I’ve talked about numerous times in past videos, but I will do a dedicated video just for this topic
I wonder if the produce gets bruised when everyone tosses the produce into the tubs. I notice tomatoes get tossed also.
It’s not at all, the microphone makes it sound much louder than it is in reality
You don't find this quality of produce in a Walmart. Always buy local. Those peppers are insane!
That’s for sure! Thanks!
are butternut squashes really that smooth inside as name suggests ?
Yes
They’re buttery delicious! Very similar to a sweet potato
In intervening years,when you had Halloween pumpkins,what was approximate rate of rotten pumpkins as a result of stem poking ? From my experience it can turn pretty ugly.
@@wild_insomnia i’ve had pumpkins rot a week after I picked them and I’ve had pumpkins last in my house until the following May!
Does Emma happen to make perogies?
I’m not sure what this question means, could you elaborate?
How many acres you farm
65 acres vegetable and 1,300 acres grain
Is it organic?
You have more weeds than pepper plants
We are not organic, but we do use organic growing methods in all of our greenhouses. The weeds in the Pepper patch just got out of control this year, once you get behind there’s no catching up but believe it or not the best peppers were in amongst the weeds!
That's crazy, how the weeds just covered the vegetables
Which crops do you irrigate and which ones you don't. From other videos you don't irrigate corn,green beans (so far) .. what else ...

You're looking Crop

Well one thing is for sure, dude is rockin' it old school and could probably whip Popeyes rear end!
Me? I'm with you! 😆
@@ddouglas3687 Do you think yield is higher overall the old fashioned way?
Who cares about weeds with all that harvest that's a good yield people that don't know farming don't know it takes money to put that plastic out just saying looks good to me boys...
Please be more gentle on those nice bell pepper.

It’s illegal to save hybrid seeds, and they won’t grow back the same the next year, they will revert back to their parent of the hybrid
One handed picking? Just strap the damn camera to yr head. Uhhhh, it will go twice as fast. Just why?
Agree to this.
Another recliner professional speaks😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@daveklein2826 nope, farmer. I just don't farm on utube
Ok so you ARE a recliner professional
@@johnlane4367 good grief, I picked one handed for like 15 seconds and had two hours of harvesting with two hands. I don’t like having the go pro attached to my head or my chest. It’s hot and uncomfortable.
