This is the single most important advice Joel gives. It's permission to live frugally. At first it feels embarrassing. Eventually you feel empowered saying no to restaurants and vacations.
What about the brand new cars, boats, RVs, and other “toys” (which so many people somehow have these days)? I live quite frugally, (old vehicles, seldom eat out, etc.), but I do manage to take a few reasonable vacations, which I view as necessary, just to unplug myself from the routine.
I never felt embarrassed about being frugal. I do challenge myself to be efficient and was happy that I cut down my grocery bill and still have the stuff I want.
Double payments to pay off the property. Then when you don't owe a land payment, SAVE that double payment and look for an income stream from your property. You may only need $10,000 a year after you pay it off and are growing the majority of your food.
Small way? Search “Jim Galye & Galt’s Landing, Food Forest Abundance. We’re all generally located in central Florida, domestically and a world wide mission of permaculture, edible landscaping & regenerative capitalism. The answer to many of humanity’s problems are backyard food forest of any size.
Having done farming, his advice rings true to my bones. Not some academic talk from a university grad. Truth he has lived himself Notice how well he explained this without notes, just propped up against the tractor. Great man. I'd follow him anywhere...
And don't listen to those who say you can't, because you can. All you have to do is have a plan and actually start the snowball somewhere somehow. You can do it!!!
I agree. To add to that people need to stop saying, " I can't do that or this" I can't afford that or this" " I wish I could" Once you tell yourself you can't, you wont!
An average joe can follow the code, which most regulations are based on. An example is drop over a run in plumbing. You need basic math skills and the ability to read. The international residential code (IRC) can be found online for free...
My wife and I quit or jobs in 2020 found our niche and have worked our butts off! Having our best year ever! Have taken in allot of this man’s advice over the years and adapted it to what we had available
Don't quit your regular job folks. Having a farm and regular job is the way to go. I do both its the best way. If you ever want to get out of farming you still have a regular paying job. Farming is very hard try to do a apprenticeship like on polyface farms first. Great videos Joe.
I think farming is very hard because being successful requires so many skills. Understanding people, machinery, nature, structures, workflow, book keeping, etc. Most people just have a few of the skills and struggle to learn the ones they're missing.
I think I agree with you. A couple years ago I quit my good-paying job to pursue my dream. But unexpected “stuff” happened which left us really struggling 🥵. Thank God, I was able to get back into my previous line of work (at higher pay) and start building back again. I have not given up on my dream! But I LEARNED. And now I am more carefully and thoughtfully 🧠🧐working my way into my dream. My regular job I consider as temporary and as a stepping-stone.
Definitely agree. One major machinery breakdown could have you in debt that you tried to avoid. Unless you own the land outright, ahem, inherited it or you lease it first to really prove your mettle, don’t quit your W-2 job to almost starve to death, just to financially get back to where you already are now.
That homesteading life has its pains tjoooe. Just yesterday my cattle decided to go on an unsupervised visit on the N2. Needless to say we couldnt find them through the night, they're unfortunately pitch black except the Friesland.
I started off living frugally at the advise of my parents and I paid off all my debts after watching my parents struggle. I still enjoy living that way. Great advise Joel.
You helped me understand what was already my job, I saved my life, my future and my integrity thanks to your advice. Thank you very much from France. Marie
working on it! if it scares you shitless, that’s the reason you know it’s worth it.

Lovely to see mr Salatin”s own chanel here on youtube! Hello si!. You have been an inspiration to me over here in Romania and i always love to see new stuff from you! Now, more than ever, each of us needs to produce food for ourselves because it is cheaper, better quality and !. we can depend less and less on the long food chains and that is an ever growing problem! Thank you for this informative video!
Great advice! Im 3 years in now, living on my farm and prepairing to focus mainly on one crop to build my name! I have the confidence and knowledge to grow! The sacrifice is worth it! The person you become, the characteristics you gain are the true rewards! Praise God!!!
Diversity is always good though, if that one crop fails, then everything fails. However if you grow a diverse array of crops then something is bound to do well if something else fails. Good luck, Praise God, Christ is King!
How's it going? After a 3 year break from 25 years of driving, I'm thinking about going back to it for about 3 years to get out of debt and go to farming.
@@hughj.peightreeuht3106 I got into it because I have medical bills and I dont have to pay rent. Im told the pay is way down, but its better than Ive ever made. Its going to be a long while before I get a farm.
Yes. Everyone needs to think like this man. Great video. We got off grid last year and have started growing food and raising animals. Wish we did it 10 years ago
Hi from Aus. 😊 Thanks Joel. Your advice is always fantastic. 👍 We are saving hundreds each week, just by eating straight from the veggie garden and living frugally. We are slowly building up our small farm/homestead and hopefully this year we will be expanding into market gardens too. I am trying to share my knowledge of growing food too. It is such an important skill to have, especially in todays world.
I really enjoy raising chickens but I also enjoy growing certain kinds of foods play Korn and also having a small Orchard of heirloom type of apples, kumquats, cherries, and if I can find any type of citruses I can grow in the Pacific Northwest would be nice... but in general, I like to use traditional haudenosaunee (gov calls us the Iroquois Confederacy) growing traditions, to grow food and raise animals such as chickens who can stick around for quite some time laying eggs and give back by helping with pest control and so forth..... anyways you got the brain stirring up some things that I've been thinking about for years... thanks for the pep talk😎✌️
I wanna live that frugal life anyway. I just wish my family members could give up all the luxuries.. I’ve cancelled most of them anyway. I grow half our food already thank goodness, I can’t even imagine how much our groceries would cost if we didn’t have a tonnes of fruit trees and veggie gardens etc… I just want that whole life. I would love to step up the production here, I’d love dairy cows, bees and a bunch of other stuff !!! What a dream come true
Great advice as usual. We're on our way to this here at Folk Rock Farm. Almost to the point of farming full time and it feels very rewarding, very hard work but very rewarding! We sell fruit trees, nut trees, and many different plants and it feels very encouraging to provide healthy plants for other peoples land. Great video Joel!
I really enjoyed this video. It is very empowering! 💪🏼💪🏼 Growing up, my grandfather and uncle had a farm. It was beautiful in many ways and a farm or ranch provides a lot more freedom than punching a clock. But it IS hard work.
Don't quit your job. Farm on the side until you can retire and maintain good insurance. It takes 3 to 5 years to break even typically. The best most can hope for is to break even in today's economy.
I see people trying to sell chicken eggs for 8-12 dollars at little stands all the time and I did the math if I sold them for 10 dollars I’d break even you can’t live in breaking even that’s called survival lol and not many people I know would pay 10 dollars a dozen for chicken eggs
@@youngguns1319 That is certainly pricey. I wonder if the price point was relying on it being organic/free range. Sounds like they might be struggling to market their stuff, or find outlets
Good advices man....actually is the way we all used to live some years ago at least in rural places in north Spain...once more most everything is already invented....thank you❤
Good advice, The biggest hurdle where I'm located is competing in a saturated market. It's wise to position yourself near an urban area that has the populous to support a small farm operation .
This is very good practical advice. I especially like the idea of artisanal value addition to your products - a small profitable operation selling highly value goods. As a side income I would advocate remote work if such an opportunity opens for you.
Joe's wisdom applies in all instances. There are families who have lived frugally to facilitate early retirement and pursue their passions. Personally, I am not yet ready to make a living off the land, however, in the meantime I'll take the advice.
Before you do anything with money or your city job, work at least part time on a small farm at least a year, two is better. This is what I did and the experience convinced me that I didn’t have the skills [edit: or the temperament] to be a market gardener. All theoretical and romantic notions I had about starting and operating a small farm were smashed to bits. Find a farm where you can test yourself and you’ll be better off for it. Best of luck.
After two years you didn’t have the skills? What sort of work were you doing? What were the critical skills you didn’t have, or lacked? Marketing? Was someone on the farm withholding critical information to extract labor? Interesting
@@MarbledInformation To be a successful market gardener, you must be really good at planning over the medium and long term. Planning is the top skill of the market gardener. And when your plans fail, you must be flexible and, honestly, savage about profitability. I can plan and stick with one or two crops, but things fall apart once I start layering them. It's the way I'm wired, and I suspect the way most wanna-be gardeners are, too. The other important factor is your physical health. If you have troubles with your back or your knees, for instance, you better get that taken care of first, or you'll be entirely dependent on hired labor, which is not a good place for a startup to be. I've observed that it's young men who have the hardest time with planning and with admitting their limitations. God bless them and their lunkheadedness.
@@gomertube I appreciate the honest and forthright reply! There are so many barriers to the lifestyle and so many unknowns.. It can be overwhelming! My thought is starting with chickens and egg farming because it can be done year around, then learning crops, but who knows! I’ve had enough of Babylon, so I’m properly motivated, but I still know I don’t know enough yet. Thanks for your feedback on this!
Thoroughly enjoyed this vid, we have recently embarked on our hobby farm journey , it feels good to know we are already ticking many of this objectives you mentioned
We did it too, it is very slow to get all running(but mainly due to the country where we are), as it was just me and my wife as well. We are 53 yo. We are doing everything, plumbing, electric, farming, bricklaying etc etc. We are busy with the income but slow, in 6 months we will make it. And be totally off grid and self sufficient.

I bought farm like a lunatic, followed it to a ‘T’. Quit my job and started a farm. Joel is the man.
Marketing & sales are the biggest thing. You gotta know your market. Don’t sell $25 chicken when the market will only support $10.

He's in his early 50s.

This is the single most important advice Joel gives. It's permission to live frugally. At first it feels embarrassing. Eventually you feel empowered saying no to restaurants and vacations.
Yes 🙌 so true. It only feels embarrassing until you realize you’re no longer “their” fool. You eventually feel so Empowered!! ❤
You killed me on vacation XD
@@luiscarlosma9797 once you realize your life is better than any vacation, it gets much easier
What about the brand new cars, boats, RVs, and other “toys” (which so many people somehow have these days)? I live quite frugally, (old vehicles, seldom eat out, etc.), but I do manage to take a few reasonable vacations, which I view as necessary, just to unplug myself from the routine.
I never felt embarrassed about being frugal. I do challenge myself to be efficient and was happy that I cut down my grocery bill and still have the stuff I want.
I just 8.63 acres. I don’t see us quitting our jobs, but we plan to start farming in a small way

Joel Salatin, what a legend. He has a seat of honour in the "Council of Common Sense"
This isn't just for farming this advice is good for anything you want to go do.
Having done farming, his advice rings true to my bones.
Not some academic talk from a university grad.
Truth he has lived himself
Notice how well he explained this without notes, just propped up against the tractor.
Great man. I'd follow him anywhere...
Well said!
He did graduate from college, as if his words didn’t convince me enough, but it’s cool to know
Jesus says, "Follow me"
And don't listen to those who say you can't, because you can. All you have to do is have a plan and actually start the snowball somewhere somehow. You can do it!!!
I agree. To add to that people need to stop saying, " I can't do that or this" I can't afford that or this" " I wish I could"
Once you tell yourself you can't, you wont!
Hahahaha, I lived my life like that for 20 years, best decision I ever made.
Do your own work! Do your own plumbing, roofing, fencing, capentry. I went to a farm carrying power tools and used hand tools from yard sales.
Agreed! I go to farm sales and garage sales for yard tools and hand tools.
Love the idea, and I love learning new skills, but what about all the regulations? With HOA constraints and zoning, isn’t that a bit idealistic?
An average joe can follow the code, which most regulations are based on. An example is drop over a run in plumbing. You need basic math skills and the ability to read. The international residential code (IRC) can be found online for free...

Debt free is the way to be. From Dave to Joel, it helps in every way.
I've always lived debt free, and I wonder why people would ever go for debts. Having a debt is straight-up imprisonment.
Say less.
