Experience their ongoing struggles to work with their local city government as they navigate running a farm inside city limits, and learn how they sold their first season's CSA shares to a new community with nothing to show but an empty field!

I absolutely love the idea of using donations to subsidize good food for the people who need it most. I would love to do the same thing when I launch my farm. so inspirational. 😁
I know! This was the first place we had heard this idea too and thought it was brilliant!
Same here first I’ve heard of such a idea and I’ve been around a lot of places
I wholeheartedly agree. However, the next step is educating people on how to use fresh produce. I was just having this conversation recently with someone who is my County nutrition specialist and she explained that you can give so many needy folks free produce, yet the problem is that so few know what to do with it. Sadly, we are generations away from women who taught their daughters and granddaughters how to can and preserve, and even cook for that matter. Our fast food and processed food industries have rendered a large segment of our population to be virtually illiterate when it comes to the preparation of food.
Great video! Congrats to Alicia & Ben for making a difference. As humans have known for over 1000 years, health is wealth and the only source of health is love & nutrition.
Idea: To solve the food prep illiteracy, you can simply attach QR stickers to the bunch material where the QR takes members to a CZcams video on Quick & Easy prep but delicious seasonal prep and best practices.
As people gain more experience, they can add great kitchen tools similar to the innovative farm tools shown in this video. For instance, the instant pot is a game changer for quick & easy food healthy prep, especially in the fall/winter. It truly is healthy homemade fast food!
Finally content😘...i wonder why some people think rural living is backwards...that's one of the best life a person can live
That's the way liberals think. If you don't live in a city they think you are hicks
Waiting for months to your new video. Thanks farmers friend.
We hope to be publishing videos more often again! Thanks for your patience and excitement!
Blessings to all!
You are definitely part of a movement. I just bought a 1/2 acre in zone 10b. Installing Solar and water catchment system. Using permaculture organic practices. Community, community, community
Way to go! All the best to you in your new venture!
Omg this looks heavenly. I believe in a farm like yours.
Your farm is the most amazing thing I've seen in a long, long time. Astonishingly beautiful!
They really have built a beautiful farm from scratch in such a short time! Definitely follow them on instagram to keep connected the awesome things they're doing!
Clean and very organize..i love your farm..
You two are so simply beautifull...dont trade off that quality of living...you are the medecine this planet needs...thank you!!!
Its wonderful to see people doing something amazing like this for their community.
Agreed!
Soo beautiful farm!! Wow!! Wish the world can have more farms like these inorder to eat food the way it was created to be enjoyed from the beginning.
Vie South Africa
We definitely need more farms like this in the world!
Yes, you are framer's friend. Every video is inspirational
Thanks, Abid!
Farmers friend is back ❤️
Always here to give a big thumb for the color grading.
Always appreciate your kind shoutout to little details like this! :D Brings a smile to our faces!
These can easily be the farms of the future where people who have an interest in farming learn that they do not have to have a lot of money to purchase large tracts of land and expensive tractors and implements. So much more food can be grown locally and the growing seasons can be extended, thereby eliminating the need to truck produce thousands of miles to the consumer. While farm markets, CSA shares, restaurants and local specialty store serve as ideal outlets for such small farms, getting a foothold into the larger grocery store chains will remain a challenge. Kudos to folks like this couple, hopefully the face of agriculture in the 21st century.
Preach it! Couldn't agree more!
Waiting for inspiring life 😊
Farmers friend ❤
Amazing story by amazing couple!

How exciting! All the best to you!
The essence is Love and that is the best start. Love to see your Malinois Dog through this inspiring video. All goods from a Dutch student from life who learns everyday what it is to be human in a complex time.
Thanks for the encouragement!
You guys are amazing, something like this should be multiplied and people who do this should be able to make a decent living. It is a big surprise when learned that you are able to do something like this in Troy, NY. Good luck and happy living.
Excellent Excellent video!! Your story, devotion and honesty is beautiful to watch. I follow you guys on Instagram but never witnessed the whole story like this. You guys are leaders and inspirational! What a lucky community they are to have you ;) Love your approach to make food available to people who cant afford it and of course the need to bring small scale farms back to communities ;)
Thanks so much! Ben and Alicia have an amazing farm and it was a privilege to be able to tell their story!

Do you both manage to do all the work between the two of you or do you need to hire extra hands? Love the work you do and I'm sure that many young couples will get inspired by you!
what a great video
wow amazing beautiful❤
Thank you #savesoil
THANKSsssssssssssssss
The development of the greens harvester was funded by Elliott Coleman so Mr. Coleman could have an easier time harvesting. Basically, he paid a smart kid to come up with it. After its development, Elliott Coleman refused to maintain rights to it, leaving the kid free to sell it and benefit all. Every time I see a farmer benefiting from it, I am quietly grateful to Mr. Coleman.
Mostly true, except the only exchange between them was the idea. :) Eliot Coleman has played a huge role in the small farm tool space and we are so grateful for what he has brought to the community!
really good experience. I try to do the same
Amazing ❤️🇳🇵
very impress. I love this.!
Glad you like it!
In the matter of water, have you thought of rainwater harvesting from roof surfaces?
I was curious about the regulatory issue(s?) they faced. Why did they settle on Vermont--was she from there? I didn't catch that, if so--and did they consider other states where they might find a less restrictive environment?
Greetings,
H2o issue...rain/snow catchers?
Any possibilty of tapping into Burden Pond?
Cheers ☕
Next video please
❤️❤️😀😀
my dream
Do you have locations were you sell!
How do you make all the compost needed to no till?
You guys rock! I read somewhere you don't have any vehicles. Is this true and if so
how do you manage it?
Great question. I'd encourage you to reach out to Ben and Alicia directly via their instagram account to get there feedback on your question.
harvest the rain water.... if they let you?
Hello, I'm in the export business of water and fertilizer machines. I come from China
great!☮ HTGDE
I question whether it makes a difference to grow it closer to the city because of the industries and pollution or a little away somewhere in the countryside? Does that make any difference?
I'm sure the difference is not zero but whether the difference is significant enough to outweigh the benefits of bringing the produce closer to the community who will be eating it thus requiring less energy and effort to deliver the produce to the customers while also providing an opportunity for urban community members to find rejuvenation from visiting a beautiful farm in a city. Every situation will differ and personal preference will also help dictate which location is best for your situation.
I sure wish I was younger 😭
working outside with a mask on....very special.
👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
After roll you come back again
How much you guys earn from this?
Yup looks nice,but it costs huge money to start this…I am owner of huge land and when I see prices of garden utensils,greenhouse constructions etc,it freaks me out
