Dallas London prieš 1 mėnesį Thanks that you acknowledged my msg. but don't you ever answer any questions ? Reading your comments, don't see too many answered.....you guys did a great job on that interveiw, but some more questions could be asked, that way we don't have to bother you guys with these msgs :) Also how about an update on the family way out in the woods, sorry can't remember where it was, but it was beautiful and this family only had two grown sons when you interviewed them and the man had build their home, plus a smaller one when they first moved there.....and this guy could fix anything....and I remembered the nearest town was like 7 miles, they had no utilities bills because they were too far out, but seems like the phone Co. did run wires to his home.....but everything else, they lived off the Grid....I remember their garden being just a few steps from the back deck or sun room, or what ever it was called, some people call them different things....he lost his wife so it was just him I , would have been nice to see a video of her and the kids in the earlier years when they moved there....seems when they moved there they didn't have any kids, so I assume they had the kids there.....and he had every tool & machinery he needed to fix anything that ever tore up....that man was a Genius....I know he was looking for someone to come and take over the work for a place to live and I assume he would pay them too.....and take care of him later....is he still alive? Seems he was looking for a married couple to help him.....I hope he did find someone and they took care of him and was nice to him , you never know about people these days you hire....a lot of crooks in this world....but also some great people too,,, Do you know if his son's ever came to visit him & his wife when she was alive , or after when he was alone...? Some kids would have gone and done their thing, then maybe gotten married and came back and build them a home and stayed there I'm sure rent free to be close to their Dad after their Mom passed away.....I think about this guy & his family when I watch another one of these videos.... Don't know if I told you but I had asked you if you were the one who did the video or knew about it, I never heard from you as I recalled, but anyways I did find it and it was called "VERSAILLES" I believe this is how I found it.....they never finished their home, which they said would be the most expensive home in the US....but as of yet I don't think it is finished , maybe he's still trying to sell it, as I haven't watched all the videos, but they lost their youngest Daughter due to an overdose.....now him & his wife and spending their time trying to help other kids so they might have a better chance at living instead of taking their own life.... Glad I ran across another video you & your husband did.....I do enjoy them, maybe I'll see another one you did that I seem to miss.... Lots of things to watch on You Tube and I like things like this instead of stupid stuff they put on some of the videos..... Take care

Arthur Schildgen prieš 5 dienas Nature tends to either be ignored or considered to be magic that happens only when humans go away and ignore it and cannot happen otherwise. I like this approach, it is an objective evaluation of the processes that make nature work in a (successful) attempt to improve and speed up the processes with a good understanding of how that might work.

Michael Lupton prieš 2 mėnesius Incredibly impressive. The connections between food production our health and the environment are so obvious yet we are trapped in systems that lead to high obesity rates, de-graded soils, declining bio-diversity we have to change. This farmer is so knowledgeable and interesting . please make more films like this highlighting the positive changes we can make to how we live. Exploring imaginative, beautiful new homes is great and sometimes illuminating of the people who make them but the real interest is how we can live to make our lives better in a sustainable way. Loved this film thank you.

Matt Rossey prieš 2 mėnesius THANK YOU KIRSTEN, This is the kind of gardening the whole world should be doing. Mark is totally dead on with what he's saying. I hope to in the next few years have land that I will homestead with my wife and family and do nearly the exact same thing as Mark and Jen are doing. I'm going to share this video with some others here on YouTube that I know are planning Permaculture gardening in the Philippines where my wife is from. I hope you and your family are doing great and that you are all safe. Matt - Toronto, Canada

Nicolás Boullosa prieš 2 mėnesius Hey Zerrin, glad you can relate to what you saw in Turkey in earlier generations. I can also relate to my grandparents in Spain. There's so much wisdom I never fully appreciated growing up. It almost a curse to get to travel and read, and then come back to appreciate what you already had in front of you (my grandfather had some takes that you could include in a book by Hermann Hesse or by Aldo Leopold). I'm not idealizing the past by any means, we just need to get to some best practices we already had that can boost some modern techniques.

Zerrin Ekinci prieš 2 mėnesius As soon as I saw his hat, I said this is Mark Shepard! I have been learning agroforestry from Mark's vjdeos for a while along with Martin Crawford of Uk now and it amazes me how a man/woman can feed many creatures with one wise decision. My grandfather was carrying the legacy of his Turkish ancestors who loved and cared for their trees and I'm so glad there are still people who care for trees, wildlife and real human food. Definitely a must watch video.
