    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.

    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

    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!

    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.

  • @janbroekhuizen5
    @janbroekhuizen5 Před 4 lety +26

    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.

    • @TheDutchFarmer
      @TheDutchFarmer  Před 4 lety +3

      Hey Jan, thanks! That's exactly it. Start small and grow with your own experience and markets. Good luck with everything!

    • @janbroekhuizen5
      @janbroekhuizen5 Před 4 lety +2

      @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.

  • @karenchandler2921
    @karenchandler2921 Před rokem

    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!

  • @astralheart5807
    @astralheart5807 Před 3 lety

    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

  • @gabrieleriva_bboykappside

    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.
