This is the absolute best and most comprehensible description of intensive farming how to, and some ideas about what you can throw in to extend the possibility of more income, I have ever come across. I have watched videos, and bought books, and nothing has ever been so simply put so that it could be understood fully. Wow! Most people just can't seem to articulate the message without babbling on and confusing the information. Thank You for this! Great video!
It's very interesting that their name is called "singing frog farm" because in Puerto Rico when frogs which are called "Coqui" are happy they sing especially when rained on 🐸
This was so great can singing frogs farm put together an online course?????????? I think if they went more in-depth into their systems people would be willing to pay for this amazing knowledge. Their are a few market gardening courses out, but Their approach seems to be the best at emulating nature and building soil and a farm enterprise profitably.
Olivia Kaye places that recycle green waste. My town does it and I can get it for free, or there are multiple other places around me that recycle waste from supermarkets and restaurants and sell it.
Numbers don't lie. When you are practicing "true" organic farming on just 3 acres, using their exact formula, and you earn far more income than a 40 acre farm using conventional farming practices... shouldn't that alone persuade the negative, "stuck-in-their-old-ways" to change? Or, are the conventional farmers so stubborn, that they are going to say they are feeding the world? Yeah, the old methods produce food that is crap being sold at your local Walmart... not even worth throwing in my compost pile, let alone to eat that chemical sprayed garbage.
It was $100,000 per acre. He is doing 8 acres now (?), so that is $800,000. I think he said in the video that it was revenue. So typically that means prior to expenses. It's very intensive though. That's why they need multiple employees. $800,000 shrinks quick when you are paying 6 employees. But according to other articles I have read he is making as much as a high-paid lawyer. So probably like $3 to 400,000 per year or something like that. Not too shabby if you ask me. He is serving 120 families. That is doable. We need a lot more people like him.
Obviously, this is a no-roto-till operation, not a no-till. There is much bare dirt and the raised beds create moisture wasting high heat conditions, especially in the dry California summer.
I burn my worn out tractor tires every other month and till the burnt ashes into my pumkin field area. I have the most deeply colored gourds and pumpkins in the county
The thought of a small farmer doing anything that will reduce global warming is simply foolish. You young'uns need to wake up this is all so stupid to even entertain the thought.
I agree but it just seems like everyone uses climate as a selling point when it has nothing to do with what they are selling. Just saying what they are doing is noble and great and i hope to do the same one day but its simply not going to do anything for climate that is not underneath the beds they are working with.
It’s people with this mind set that are the problem , there isn’t anything noble about caring about the only planet we have and not eating pesticides , it’s common sense
, I also can’t understand why it’s always the older generation that’s so set against cleaning up our pollution and eating healthier especially when you can do the two at the same time ,
Since you’re from the generation the f’d everything up (I assume) why don’t you just sit back and let us clean up your mess and not pretend like you know what to do.
The entire planet should watch this. Share share share, people!
This is inspirational. Should be required watching in every school, garden club, Ag group, ETC
I'm watching this late at night and it's making me crave some yummy greens instead of the usual insomnia fare (potato chips & cookies).

Thank you so much for sharing all that information! I could listen to you guys talking all day long! Big thumbs up!
This is great, well done Singing Frogs Farm :)
If you watch this video at .5 speed it will make your day
1.5 is funner. LOL
I love seeing the coordination between this couple!

Beautiful!!
wow this is great video. thank you for sharing and i will learn more about no till farm
this is really cool, $100k per acre per crop is insane
"When you till, you kill."
Excellent
Where do the Kaiser's get your compost for there farm if there so sustainable
Olivia Kaye places that recycle green waste. My town does it and I can get it for free, or there are multiple other places around me that recycle waste from supermarkets and restaurants and sell it.
Can you grow wheat and corn and rice at the scale the world requires these staples?
Check out Gabe Brown.
Max Green look up duck rice

This is amazing. I wonder if that farm accepts wwoofers.
Is $100,000 net income after paying the employees?
I think they give info about it on their website..

how bout "no fertilizer & pesticide"
Obviously, this is a no-roto-till operation, not a no-till. There is much bare dirt and the raised beds create moisture wasting high heat conditions, especially in the dry California summer.
It's pure no-till. I called and spoke with them
Their raised beds have a layer of compost on the top that serves as mulch.
raised beds actually retain more moisture because your never disturbing them. Their water usage is 20 minutes twice a week for most crops.
Where are all the weeds?
coverage of crops chokes them out. When your turning crops every 3-4 weeks your always on top of it.

I hope you're joking. Most states impose very high fines for burning tires. They give off very toxic gas.

Tommy Vaughn I think the point is to have *more* of the small farmer as well as changing the way large scale works
