- John from www.growingyour... visits the Kauai Farmcy Family Farm that Grows Herbs and Plant Medicine using Permaculture Principles using Locally sourced fertilizer and Sun-Powered dehydrators to produce the highest quality volcanic soil grown herbal medicine. PLEASE NOTE: This episode was previously filmed Before COVID-19.
In this episode, you will learn what John believes the future of farming should look like: small farms using permaculture practices, usually locally sourced fertilizers, and other inputs to grow herbs & food using regenerative farming practices.
You will learn more about Kauai Farmacy and its purpose and mission to bring you the highest quality products to locals and for customers worldwide. You will discover the entire process from growing herbs, harvesting, processing them on-site to make artisanal herbal products made in small batches on-site paying fair wages.
First, John will introduce the farm and take you on a tour of the entrance and entry path to the lanai shop that you can visit if you are vising or live on the Garden Isle of Kauai in Beautiful Hawaii.
Next, John will share with you some of the end products that the Kauai Farmacy produces on-site using plants grown on their farm and turns them into value-added products that sell for more than a raw bundle of herbs. John will taste test some of the products and share with you his opinions on then.
Next, you will learn how the products were made going through all steps of the growing process that Kauai Farmacy uses to grow and process their products into an end product including: How they create fertility on the farm, the water the farm uses to provide hydration for the plants, how the plants are grown in a perennial food forest system, some of the unique herbs that are grown for their beneficial properties, the one fertilizer that is brought in outside the farm and why it is beneficial, how the herbs are processed by hand and dried by the power of the sun, how different products are made in their production facility, how herbs are processed in small batches as need and how they are stored for later use.
You will first learn in detail the simple fertility program at Kauai Farmacy which starts with locally produced compost and different types of mulches, creating on-site worm castings & compost teas and using local Spirulina to add fertility to the land to grow this plant medicine.
Next, you will discover some of the herbs that are being grown on-site such as Noni and how the leaves of noni or the leaves of comfrey can be used for plant medicine. You will learn the difference between Hawaiian Tumeric and standard Tumeric when John tastes tests both types and shares his opinions.
You will learn how the power of the sun is used to dehydrate herbs at a low temperature without any electricity to preserve the most plant medicine. You will learn more about how the dried herbs are powdered or transformed into other products including hydrosols, tinctures, salves, and juices.
Finally, you will see the "vault" where all the dried herbs are stored and recipes are created to make the individual herbal products in small batches as need.
Finally, John will interview the owners, Doug and Genna Wolkon so you can learn more about Kauai Farmacy, Herbs, their growing practices, why they started, the best herbs to grow, and much, much more.
After watching this episode, you will learn how a small farm can be profitable by growing high-quality herbal medicine in the best way possible while leaving the lightest footprint on the plant to provide people with high-quality herbal medicine.

Let thy food be thy medicine, and let thy medicine be thy food.
So very very true Edward! 👍🌱💚
Oh Man it's been years since I saw your channel. I used to watch you all the time when I barely got into growing food. Love that years later you look and sound the same. Same enthusiasm and positivity as ever. Soo glad to see you still doing your thing trying to help people heal themselves and the world 👍🌽🥦🍅🥕✊
Who gives thumbs downs to these types of videos? Love you, John! 💚
two hours. I will watch it at 2x and take 4 days to watch it all. Probably worth it.
Binge-watching permaculture videos instead of Netflix.
I saw your interview with Jillian. Good to know that you are raw vegan.
Inspiration to me.
Your awesome John! I wish I had your energy. I would love to see connect with some of the Korean natural farming (KNF) gurus on one of your Hawaii trips. You have a huge voice and its a way of farming I think most people have never heard of. Look into it and utilize it for yourself also.
You are so cute, I really enjoy your videos sometimes you are long winded but you are always full of info and you make me giggle too! Keep up the good work.
So many wonderful medicinal plants in Hawaii. So many of those plants just grow wild in the islands, and have so many spiritual and medicinal properties. Also I am fascinated by all of the IMO Korean farming methods that use popular in the kingdom of Hawaii. Thanks for the great video!
lya Ilyich Mechnikov won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1908 for his study of the immune system. There was a cholera outbreak in Europe but only some died and others didn't. He drank a vial of cholera which did nothing to him. He had 2 lab assistants. They both drank a vial of cholera. One easily survived and the other nearly died.
Please feel free to challenge your doctor to drink a vial of cholera. Tell him you will be back next week if he survives!!
And God said, “Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
I heard a great saying from Bubbleman's World. Lets take the "harm" out of big pHARMaceuticals, and put back the "farm". Farmaceueticals
"A three hour tour" LOL!
It would be nice to be able to go back to natural medicines. John, I have things a few of your wonderful and educational videos. You seem to be a very caring, genuine person. I never thought of going to Hawaii before, but I began to think about it . I thank you and wish you tons of success in your endeavors. 🍵🏝
Love this format. This is a great model.
An inspirational video and so timely for my family. Thank you so much!!!!
it's so relaxing listening to the rain in the background
I have ashwagandha powder every day. My friend east Indian told me her family and lots of people living in India eat this daily. So I started 6 years ago. Energy memory relaxing and more
His noni juice reaction…!! Awesome!
I'm just starting my lil apothecary garden this yr. I grow San Pedro and Lophophora Williamsii. I'm a real ethnobot. Plants are freaking amazing! Thanks for the vid. My mind is still blown over the pool toy nut cube. You saved alota people some good money. You're the best. Enjoy your vaca!
What on gods green earth are you smoking lady
John is going bananas
Euell Gibbons, a naturalist, and author I think, used to talk about eating a pine tree. He was the spokesperson for Grape Nuts cereal. But that was when republicans used to call Democrats and environmentalists tying to make people aware of pollution, eating natural and healthy, and getting back to nature and away from the chemicals in the 70s. they used to make fun of him. No one's laughing, now. It's all come to pass. The clean water act and the clean air act was passed in the 70s. But in 2017 a lot of the EPA regulations to protect air, water, and land were rolled back.
Very informative, eg. morenga, tulsi, lemon grass
Blessings
,I appreciate your journey. I read the Bible which teaches about herbs and healing qualities. It a lot of work and your testimony is a Confirmation. I look at things at vitamin stores and just wonder how pure or diluted products are.
That is a very interesting place to visit... thanks for sharing!
Herbs are medicine. The medicine that was created right along with us. Synthetic medicine isn't medicine at all.
Tell that to someone who has cancer. Nature is great preventative medicine but modern medicine has increased life spans the world over and has cured countless diseases that once ravaged our populations. You can abuse natural medicine the same as man made medicine.
@@mplslawnguy3389 you sure can. Our bodies are natural, not synthetic. That's why drugs like meth are so devastating to the body. How sad WW2 Germany was all addicted to it. The US has the opioid epidemic. It tells you how much pain we're in. We put so much junk into our bodies, it's no wonder we have damaged DNA. It's by nature and the God of it that that we all live and breathe. It's by that God that we are free.
Steven Martinez So you’re comparing meth and heroin to pharmaceutical drugs that actually do save lives. A toxic concoction cooked up by a drug cartel with god knows what and heroin laced with elephant tranquilizer is the same as taking medication that could save your life. Honestly you people are cult-like.
@@mplslawnguy3389 Before chemicals in farming ,environment nfood processing there ws no cancer.
@@carollynne5943 You can't honestly believe that can you? Sheesh
I really loved your book you definitely need to write more books and make it a book series
Best of the best !
Great job John!!!
Noni is amazing, I wish I could grow it Northern England
That honey 😍 what an amazing place!
Awesome topic
great content like always!
41:44 this gave me flashbacks to “American pie”
Thank you
looks amazing
I’m learning to make herbal medicine
Hey John. You should review the Subpod compost system. They are advertising everywhere. Trying to get independent review whether it is any good or not.
I requested a sample, and they wanted me to agree to all these stipulations. I told them, send me a unit and I will review and share my honest opinions. Guess they didnt like that deal, as I share what I TRULY think, and cant be bought. So I would caution people about this product at this time.
Stunning
if i could i would so buy some stuff but its a struggle right now even making food and rend :( it will get better and illl remember these guys! I stayed til the end!!! ahha walked in the door and you were still playing from a previoius MINT VIDEO before i ran out for a bit :) helping with the viewing hours ;) ..... so you can make a bigger difference int he world! ---i need a farm or yourtube channel too ! weh! haha
How do you handle ticks? I live in NW Pennsylvania and I want to start a garden using wood chips. But we have a very bad tick problem, including deer ticks that carry Lyme disease. Do wood chips repel ticks? I want to eventually grow lots of berries, herbs and veggies. I am considering using a fence system to keep the deer out, but it won't keep out any mice. Not even sure if mice are attracted to gardens, lol. Thank you for all of your wonderful content, I love your channel!!!
Bobbie Jean Esser Great Question, get certain heritage breed chickens, its what they were made for! Lots of chickens and quail should do it, they eat those guys right up, and plant some herbs, flowers, and peppers that deter bugs.
That was a cool intro.
Super cool video '
love your shirt ! Bananas ♥
lol @ 41:40 ….what are you trying to tell us John?
Omg I loved this video!!! Do they hired people and allow them to live on property and learn? I ordered 300 bucks worth thanks for the discount!
This guy is a cool dude. LMAO... fungi and some fungurls hanging out on a log ;) hahahaha @27:30
''Maybe you can stick other things in there also'' HAHA
😭😭😭😭
Watching as I eat mini peanut butter cups lol 😂
I noticed the bins they're using for the worms are those blue barrels cut in half. Instead of them could we use metal barrels? I have both, but I use the plastic ones for rain collection. So the metal ones are just sitting around. So could I use them for worms? Or is metal not recommended for worms?
What do you think of back to eden style gardening
NICE 2H VIDEO )))
hey man. do you know much about these "organic" nutrients like Botanicare Cal Mag Plus specifically? are they truly organic or should i find something else to do in my soil? im running coco with gaia greens dry ammendments and the botanicare cal mag plus is the only thing that i dont know is truly organic, eventhough they say their line is pretty much organic. THANKS MAN!!!
That green powder is about 20x more expensive than just buying organic 500g moringa and wheatgrass from amazon i bet
grown differently
What were the top 4 plants? Wasn’t able to understand!
i have magpie ducks and cayuga ducks
Thats 2 different breeds of turmeric like comparing a lime to an orange or something along that line
Hi John. I also live in Vegas and want to know if you are selling or giving away some of your seeds?
at the end when he mentioned the curry...... im assuming he knows but he didnt say that it had black pepper... (which IDK if it does but it it doesnt it should!! cause you can't really utilize the curcumin without black pepper added... I would assume that's obvious to someone like him but maybe not everyone here knows and its worth knowing)
i just got my comfrey seeds in the mail today so check me off as SOLD lol
41:46 omg john I didnt know u where a comedian 😂😭
Dont even know why im watching these videos. Just regurgitating
OMG that dude you interview doesn't really sound like he know much about herbal meds.
46:52 are you sure that isn't dichondra? (which is also edible) I thought Goto Kola was completely round.
Fung girls…😂😂😂😂😂💀
Yeah noni is definitely a cast on steroids. She's amazing. I'd say she's comfrey on steroids too haha
Dude. Put the Red Bull down. Geeze!!!
s
Lol did you REALLYJUST SAY THAT, LOL?
any Noni their
Moneyteering ! how about Healthing ! only .
i want to brush his hair off his forehead.
Episode means 20 - 30 minutes. Two hours is a full length directors cut feature film. You need to hire an editor and either EDIT or make four episodes of this location. Seriously, I love ya, guy, but your new found interest in cannabis has negatively affected your work product.
Get outta you not a real fan of John. He literally never edits his videos. don't blame cannabis dummy
