This video is incredibly helpful! Your tips are practical and perfect for someone just starting out. Thank you for breaking everything down so clearly ! 😍
With the three steps to starting a farm, I plan on doing all three steps over a 5 year period. This is a slow transition approach which reduces risk and keeps income flowing. Thanks for these vids.
Thank you. More people in the world need to hear the good down to earth sense of what this farming dream of theirs really looks like every day. Bravo Senor!
When I was younger, sometimes I would catch my late mom just staring at me and smiling. And I would say, "omigod, what happed, what did I do?" And my mom would say to me, still smiling, "I can see you on a farm with 5 horses." That is still a remarkable memory that I have of my mom. Thank you!
Have to say Moreno, I've been extensively researching, planning and calculating a move into farming, learning about some incredibly intelligent mentors success stories and systems and they are very very good... and I see you've probably learnt from the same people... but what I'm loving about your videos is that you are direct to the point and very logical in the set up/planning of doing it, because you've recently done it, And as a professional coach who has transferred my coaching skills to sports that are new to me successfully, I am highly aware that sometimes the most successful teachers are the people who have recently done the steps they are trying to teach, having learnt from the best well researched mentors in the first place to guide them and then to pass it on. You're doing some great work in your guidance, thank you
Hello!! I've seen a lot of videos about small business garden but your videos are extremely well explained and easy to understand. I'm Filipino and a senior. I think I'll bring this principles with me in the Philippines. Thanks for sharing this to people looking for something different. Keep up the good work. Your good and blessed. Thanks.
Are you a farmer?? You know more than some agriculture minister , small industries even HR, Hats off to your efforts and research Sir, Really impressive
Listening to you shows that your knowledge is from a lot of experience in farming, ups and downs, failure and success...it is easy to subscribe to this channel. Thank you for your time and expertise
Hier heb ik wat dank, dank! En ga de aankomende tijd uren kijken naar al jullie reeds opgenomen filmpjes op TH-cam. Hier doe ik mijn voordeel mee. Emmm Nederlands toch? Nogmaals dank, Grt Femke
Great video. I am from Pakistan and my husband and I are starting a small permaculture farm, hopefully soon and in that context you and your videos are big big help. Thank you
HI from NZ. For me...All of your tips are essential. I will be watching this video again and again and again, until I know each tip off by heart! I photographed each tip onto my phone to refer back to. The last TIP has the most value to me, because I think you can be doing it right from the start with TIP 1. Thank you so much for sharing what I consider to be very valuable information!
Great info! The Sales part is quite daunting for me. Last year was my first season of real selling stuff, and feedback was great (almost scary at parts (just like grandpa's garden etc)) Biggest take-away for me, start small (small plot that can grow over time), start on a method that fits you (part time/deepdive full time) Tools, experience and huge inventory of goods to sell will grow over time, but take several seasons to let this grow.
@Margot Cavanaugh I made a cost price overview of most of my items first. With that you can add a margin to create a selling price. After that, make a shortlist of the prices in the local markets and big box stores in the area. You can adjust your prices towards these. In my area there is many different 'classes' of food to take into account. From 'normal' to super bio with many rules and laws attached. Once done, it's best to also talk with many people in order to find out what people wish to pay for high quality food. I believe Moreno show cased some of his methods in a earlier video.
Baby boy, you are a 'Business or Marketing' major aren't you?!!! Thank you so much for your 'Business is business!' videos!!! Whether your selling INSURANCE or VEGGIES, you have to treat your business as a business! Thank you for not letting the Lifestyle Movement make people forget that they have OTHER expenses that don't involve eating their own produce! I have subscribed, keep adding videos that remind people that 'farming' actually costs money...
Thank you for sharing. Am from Africa and after watching your videos am more than ever inspired to go farming. Though my biggest challenge is how to raise $ 3000 for drilling a bore wall and setup an irrigation system. Otherwise am learning alot from your videos , may Yaweh bless you.
I don't usually watch Tip videos, but I actually really appreciated this one. Tip #6, saying to start small, start basic, and that I don't have to start with the craziest equipment really hit me. I know it sounds silly but some of what I know is from Farming Simulator, and I went ahead in that game and purchased all sorts of crazy tractors that I didn't even know how to use at the time, and so I was left with... nothing, really. I wanted to grow so much and have amazing fields and have an awesome system going and ..... I went so overboard. So I believe I already learned my lesson. Thankfully it was in the game and not real life
That's a great video. I finished the agricultural superior school last year and now I'm at a 2 year post-diploma course, and my dream is to open a horticulture company with all the cool stuff you said in the first minutes of the video. I'm currently going on internships and I'm learning from a very young company which only has 4 years on its side, and it's already expanding. The owner of the company told me he wanted to do a lot of things and he's figuring out how and if to do them. I will have to start with standard vegetables, then I'm going to get greenhouses, have money saved from each group of income and then slowly grow up adding more and more things, always monitoring them to make sure they're not going crazy.
WHO ARE YOU? LOL. You provide such clear focused videos, Thank you. I can’t say which tip was my favorite as you make a good case for why each tip is necessary for success. Thank you, we look forward to more of your videos.
I am sure you covered all items one needs to start a farm. Even Forest Gump will understand. Forgot only mentioning location, weather and type of soil. They are also important. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing all the tips and guidance in a systematic manner and yet easy to digest for a beginner Farmer to be. The Q&A session on your other video is very helpful too.
Thanks for the advice, I personally think the hardest parts are marketing and planning out of everything. So from this video I am getting all the research on planning out a farm and the cost to do so all together.
Thanks for the breakdown. Helped me a lot. Would love to keep it real, simple and small. Maybe add a cow or two and chickens too but only for my personal use. Thanks for inspiring me. With love from India and Germany.
Great info. Thank you for all your hard work!! Just starting out our gardens here, we’re a family of 7 and want to grow our own food. But this could be the beginning of something big like yours. Love your setup and manner. Fabulous communication, funny and inspiring! God bless, From Nova Scotia
Very good information, and you look passionate. You deserve way more subs! I have been thrown into a time in my life, with chaos, and it drove me to what I wanted to do... this. Except it happened before I had a solid plan, and this video got me into starting a project. *salute*
This is truly awesome and great content and i appreciate every bit of it ....thanks for all the great tips and videos.And yes i have always wanted to do farming stuff planting and selling crops especially as a business.Thank you so much:)
Great video! I think you should do one on how to go back on track if you have NOT done some of this things. We're starting a market garden in the UK, and our market analysis was close to zero. I have planned our revenues based on what we can grow on the area we will farm and what vegetables are high value and consistently present in the British diet. I often think that by June we will find out things that we shouldn't have grown, or that our estimates (both in terms of yields and marketability) were completely off. And yet we've started! Exciting times, but it would be interesting to hear your advice on how to steer back on track if you realise you've missed a fundamental step. None of the market garden celebrities talk about this... Keep up the good work!
Good idea! A market research will only bring you so far. It will allow you to move forward and get started in the best possible way. Of course, not everything will go as expected and demands change, yields are over (or under) estimated etc. By constantly keeping track of everything and noting down every single thing (from demand to yields etc.) will allow you to continuously improve your production that will be more in line with the local demand. We plan our production in a way that takes into account our financial target as well as the local demand. If for some reason we realize we've over planted a crop, we need to adjust this into our planning during the season. At that time we might decide to grow less of a certain crop and increase another. Anyways, thank you for your input. It will be a great topic for a video ;)
Just a thought (and a tip). If you aren't able to sell all your produce (and you have quite a bit of it left over) to customers such as restaurants, cafe's, organic/local family type shops/ etc, then make up mixed boxes, put them in your van and head for all the pubs in your vicinity and ask if they'll buy a box (or however many) and raffle them off that night along with with, say, a meat tray. You'd be surprised how many people who go to pubs on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday buy those meat tray raffle tickets, and I can't tell you how many people who have won those trays have also said they wished there was some salad/veg in the tray as well, so it makes a complete meal or two, or three! Even if you're selling the boxes to the pubs for what they cost, at least you are recouping your production costs. Also, the biggest upside to it is the exposure to potential customers is huge! Make sure the box you provide is nicely presented (not too fancy, it's a pub after all!) and has your farms details on it - stencil your farm name and ph number on the boxes. Another way you can offload excess produce is to do 'pop up' sales outside office buildings at lunchtimes (no more than an hour and a half at each spot and on different days) at various spots around your area. Good luck, and I hope you're very successful.
Dude, i really like ur presentation. Heaven thanks for it. Am greatly considering getting inyo farming and raising some pigs and chickens too. Nothing beats fresh produce. Keep them tips coming.
Great video's and great E-book!!! Goede informatieve video's en een duidelijk E-boek!! Hopelijk zien we in de toekomst meer van je boerderij. Bedden voorbereiden. Zaaien; oogsten, wassen en inpakken!! Groetjes uit Belgie
Very informative and thorough, and thanks for covering the whole marketing and customer relationship area. Often left out of other 'how to' videos. Baie dankie.
Great content! I used to have a small garden and I want them back again as a hobby but this is a really informative video thanks. Do you do your farming alone? Or you got help? Because I see you doing all the stuffs, in the video, from the start harvest and even delivery. If you do, hands up! You are awesome! Great inspiration.
Hey Ferry thanks! I do the farming with my wife and our 2 year old daughter ;) For privacy reasons I don't include them in the video's but it's all a team effort!
Thank you for this great information. My favorite tip: Plan your profit. I was just going to start and see what sells, but after your video, I dont think this is a good idea. I also loved what you said about not calling it a Hobby if it you want a Business, so simple and so powerful, Thanks again!
I would like to find out where can I get my gardening tools that you have and also the loading traits that you also have I think that stuff is pretty cool
I just got subscribed to your channel and really love your tips and suggestions. This is because I intend to go beyond self sufficient level. The pandemic has opened my eyes to new financial situation and possible other options to future financial sustenance. I'm choosing farming because of existing advantage I already have. And your videos are very helpful at this point. Thanks for sharing!!! I'll like to know how you keep your farm optimally fertile - because that's how it looks so me!
I just subscribed to your channel, great videos! I am dreaming of being able to farm for a living, but I have no idea who my potential customers could be. You said that I should talk to potential customers beforehand, but who could that be? Supermarkets? Restaurants? I dont really know how to go about this very important step. Best wishes!
Hey Vincent, thanks for reaching out. I would always start my research with direct sales outlets: farmers markets, farm stand, csa and to a lesser extend chefs (but they make it up with volume) These will allow you to make full price on the crops you grow. Look at some farmers markets in your area and analyze them. Is it busy? Is there a lot of competition? Is there a spot for another farmer? You can talk to manager or other vendors there as well. Another option is a csa (community supported agriculture). Do you know of people (friends, family, neighbors and their connections) that could be interested in a weekly box of vegetables? If so, this could be a good place to start. For chefs it's pretty straight forward. I would make a list of some small to medium sized restaurants and simply call them up asking whether they would be interested in working with local growers. If so, you could setup a meeting and get the ball rolling from there. Hope that helps! Good luck.
Your farm just looks amazing with all these trees and crops :) I wonder, how you are dealing with production in winter, since I saw, that you are also cultivating in the open?
When it comes to compost I prefer to work with well rotted horse or cow manure. I get it from a supplier in the region. It's carefully created for vegetable production. You can also get horse or cow manure from farmers in your area and let it sit for 12 months and then apply it in Autumn so you can plant in it in spring. (we've done both approaches and both work really good)
Tons of valuable information. I was impressed seeing that you’ve got very good veggies under the tree shadows; something that I observed in my little piece of farm that although not for all, for some veggies is good and they produce better.
Just subscribed to your channel for its very concise and useful info. Thanks! By the way, Moreno is not very Dutch, is it? Wink. I’m from Spain so I should know.
Thank you so much for all the content. When I get a bit overwhelmed I head to your channel to revive. Btw I have subscribed. Where did you get the salad spinner?
We do some crop rotation, but not in the extremes anymore. By constantly putting an effort in feeding the soil food web we're creating a healthy balance of soil organisms. When starting a plot of land from scratch I think crop rotation is really useful. After a while it looks like it becomes less important with the growing system we're using (no dig). Hope that helps!
This video is incredibly helpful! Your tips are practical and perfect for someone just starting out. Thank you for breaking everything down so clearly ! 😍
Thank God we can save these videos and rewatch them.
"If you don't write it down, you will forget everything" !! You're right!! Keep sharing!! Thanks!!

I'm late to the video but wanted to thank you for making it.
Its really nice to hear someone speak about how succesful farms are run like a business.

Great video! I think you should do one on how to go back on track if you have NOT done some of this things. We're starting a market garden in the UK, and our market analysis was close to zero.

Thank you, you are Awesome 👏🏻, I enjoyed watching your organized farm
Thank you for sharing this video, I enjoyed all of the steps.
Awesome! Thank you :)
Great content! I used to have a small garden and I want them back again as a hobby but this is a really informative video thanks. Do you do your farming alone? Or you got help? Because I see you doing all the stuffs, in the video, from the start harvest and even delivery. If you do, hands up! You are awesome! Great inspiration.
Hey Ferry thanks! I do the farming with my wife and our 2 year old daughter ;) For privacy reasons I don't include them in the video's but it's all a team effort!
Thank you for this great information. My favorite tip: Plan your profit.
I was just going to start and see what sells, but after your video, I dont think this is a good idea. I also loved what you said about not calling it a Hobby if it you want a Business, so simple and so powerful, Thanks again!
I'm happy you've been able to take some information from it! Good luck!
sure very good idea and methods more over if their is the step of starting land cleaning, seedlings harvesting time it's more guidance 👍👍👍👍
Excellent video... I learnt lot from this video...keep posting....you are sharing lot of information in less time....I really liked your videos.
Obrigado Maestro Moreno.
I would like to find out where can I get my gardening tools that you have and also the loading traits that you also have I think that stuff is pretty cool

Your farm just looks amazing with all these trees and crops :)
I wonder, how you are dealing with production in winter, since I saw, that you are also cultivating in the open?
Hi Moreno. Can you say something about how to choose your compost? Thanks
When it comes to compost I prefer to work with well rotted horse or cow manure. I get it from a supplier in the region. It's carefully created for vegetable production. You can also get horse or cow manure from farmers in your area and let it sit for 12 months and then apply it in Autumn so you can plant in it in spring. (we've done both approaches and both work really good)
Tons
of valuable information. I was impressed seeing that you’ve got very good
veggies under the tree shadows; something that I observed in my little piece of
farm that although not for all, for some veggies is good and they produce
better.
How do you protect your back? Do you do some kind of stretching or core exercise?
thank you so much for this!! these infos are just priceless!!!
🌿Beautiful video ! Thanks!👏
Just subscribed to your channel for its very concise and useful info. Thanks! By the way, Moreno is not very Dutch, is it? Wink. I’m from Spain so I should know.
Thank you so much for all the content. When I get a bit overwhelmed I head to your channel to revive. Btw I have subscribed. Where did you get the salad spinner?
Love your channel merci
Awesome tips! Thank you very much!
Thanks for the video! Do you do crop rotation in your organic farm? Or adding new compost prior to planting new veggies is enough?
We do some crop rotation, but not in the extremes anymore. By constantly putting an effort in feeding the soil food web we're creating a healthy balance of soil organisms. When starting a plot of land from scratch I think crop rotation is really useful. After a while it looks like it becomes less important with the growing system we're using (no dig). Hope that helps!
