Growing and Foraging 100% of My Food - Day 111 Update

- čas přidán 16. 08. 2024
- For one year I am growing and foraging 100% of my food. That means no grocery stores, no restaurants and not even taking a nibble of a cookie or sip of beer at a party for an entire year!
You might imagine me in the countryside living off the land or on a farm. On the contrary, I live in the urban environment of Orlando, Florida, in a 100 square foot tiny house that I built with repurposed materials. With no land of my own, I farm the front yards of people in my neighborhood and share the bounty with them. I take trips to nature to harvest salt from the ocean, coconuts to make coconut oil, wild yams bigger than my head and dozens of other wild foods. I also forage for food all over the city, where people walk by every single day, without ever noticing the abundance around them.
This video was filmed on day 111 of the year and gives you both an introduction and update to my life!
For a tour of my tiny house homestead watch: • Simple and Sustainable...

I DID IT!
For an entire year I grew and foraged 100% of my food. No grocery stores, no restaurants, not even a drink at a bar.
Nature has been my garden, my pantry and my pharmacy. Here's the story of my year: czcams.com/video/nX4kq4QfYRA/video.html
Rob Greenfield we want to live like this. Would you able to guide us thru the process if we move there?
Hi Rob! Really admirable what u r doing. I watch another youtuber who actually do the same as u did. Here's a link to her channel: czcams.com/channels/oC47do520os_4DBMEFGg4A.html
She does everything, from planting and growing everything she cooks herself, to even making her own furnitures and clothes.. maybe u can also check her out.
You are an inspiration. If we all lived like you do, this would be a much better planet.
What a beautiful person you are. What you are doing is truly wonderful. Thank you for brightening up the world. :)
Would be great with more videos about all your food projects, anything from harvesting pigeon peas to making coconuat oil, foraging coconuts etc. I'd watch all of it :D
Kudos for the Video! Excuse me for chiming in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you tried - Lammywalness Green Grapes Guide (google it)? It is an awesome exclusive guide for learning how to become a successful grape grower minus the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate got cool results with it.
I too live in fla. Retired,cant do much.But this year,going to container garden food and flowers in my front yard! Wish me luck!
Nice idea! My recommendation is "do what you can" and don't worry about what you can't. Many people give up because they "can't do much". Just remember, if you can say "I can't do much" it means you "Can do some"
Patricia Russell Best of luck
Have fun!
You go girl!!
Patricia Russell i had a neighbour back in PA who was retire and every spring and summer he gardened veggies and gave to the neighboors and was super awesome.
this man is a human bee, he's a treasure on Earth, most important man
Never have I ever felt someone is truly worthy of my subscription
You are eating so healthy I don't see you needing medicine! I would say you are on one of the best diets a man could be on... thanks for always inspiring me to do and be more! 💗
@@123Homefree Well I don't expect him to be perfect... I don't even care if he cheats... everyone cheats. I still have done amazing things because he has inspired me to do so.
@@123Homefree Wouldn't that be considered foraging?
SO great! We do the same thing as far as growing almost all our food, easy with container gardening and in the ground too, and getting others to do the same thing, thanks!
Dunno if this guy is crazy or a genius. Maybe both
Is there really a difference? Lol
You have to be crazy to be a genius.
The eyes will almost always tell you which it is...
And the guy's got those crazy eyes... The kind of eyes that you back away slowly from.
I watched one of his videos from when he lived in San Diego, and he was a little weird. However, he didn't have the wide darting eyes yet.
Very fine line
He is grown up! What an inspiration and BLESSING!
Responsible and kind to Mother Earth not like most people in deep illusion.
The main reason why you are so successful is that you just take "just enough" and not greedy like most people. The more you share, the more you will always have. Stay blessed.
I think it should be interesting to make a video when you do a blood, health check in half way and in the end. It would be very powerful, informativ and great to see
@@123Homefree how so?
@@123Homefree What substance exactly would give away, that he's still dumpstering? I'd be really interested how you could know that, looking at his blood statistics.
Are you a little bit jelous by any chance?
@@magischepflanzen758 oooo got em
OH MY GOODNESS YES
Dyl Andrew LOLOLOL
You are a true superhero Rob. Privledged to find something and someone so positive at the end of a busy, insane day.
First i saw how you build your tiny house, and now you are helping the neighborhood how to grow plants. You really save a lot of money if can get it front of your yard.. i love watching you simple living with a healthy life style.
Regarding your heat/fermentation issue, get yourself a good sized cooler, dig a hole in the ground line it with stone and put the cooler inside and fill with your jars. A piece of plywood works well for a cover. A rock will keep the plywood in place, I think you will be happy with the coolness it would provide
I have been meaning to do this but have not done so yet. Thank you!
This is fantastic! You make it seem so simple. It's sad that we Americans don't even know how to survive without stores. Thank you for your content.
You are prime example of true order💖your thoughts have obviously created a great frequency🌱🌳🍃🍁🍌🍇🍎😊
You are amazing. Just wow. This is what the world needs
Love that you are building communities.. can never understand why public places aren’t filled with fruit and vegetables ?
Michelle Lockett probably because the powers that be don’t want to be sued if someone were to claim that they got sick from eating fruit from their trees. They would most likely use pesticides, etc which may cause problems for some people. Just a guess. (Oh, and I can just imagine all the cores/skins/remains of the fruit thrown on the ground! Lol)
Hello Rob you are such an inspiration and BLESSING for many of us!
Responsible and kind to Mother Earth not like most people in deep illusion.
Let's wake them up....
So... im a church pastor- watching this video is so mindowing- you need to come to my community- teach us how to treat the earth holistically well. You are the man. I need to learn so much from your initiatives
This guy is so cool. We need more people like this.
Hello from Mauritius Indian Ocean, thank you so much for making the world a better place , wish you could come here and inspire us
I am amazed that you are showing most of the plants that we grew in the farm while I was growing up. Your video simply summarized the effort my father has gone through in feeding us. He was a farmer and we grew our food. Now, I am trying to grow my vegetables and some of my fruits: papaya, dragon fruit, pomelo, lanzones, guayabano. Thank you for the videos that you have shared so far. I found them to be a source of inspiration (telling me that other people are caring for the earth too), and a source of guidance (difficulty has some solution and normally, the solution comes from people who have faced them). Good luck. More blessings!
You are a true hero Rob!!! 👍
Rob, love this mission, I'm in the process of turning my yard in Denver into a food forest, this is really inspiring. Would be great to connect in the near future, and after all we have the same last name so (related?). Thank you for the glorious content.
Same up here in Fort Collins
I wish more people would try to grow what they eat. I have been on this journey to be self-sustainable. I want to get Bees and other things to obtain my goal. Kudos to you for making it happen.
Amazing! We should all be so thoughtful! The world would be a better place.
I admire you muchly Rob, first saw you on GreenDreams and thanks to Pete I now have created a food forest in my Lake Placid, Fl. homestead, only a quarter acre, but I forage my yard every day...at my age almost 70 or your age 'YOUNG' we need to honor and respect ourselves and the Earth and this ol' granny is still on the move, what do I plant next...oh, did I mention you are a twin to my 31 year old G-son, even your voice...much kudos kid...!!!
Good job sir Rob..I admire you doing like that..
Good job brother god bless you always.
Happiness is the biggest thing with little things
Hi, Rob! In Indonesia, we use Katuk leaves as breastmilk booster. Just boiled the leaves with garlic and sweet corn to add the flavour (and sweet potato as well), add salt to taste. It's a nice and comforting soup as well. 😃
This skill is ver important for the future survival of humanity.
i love how hes doing it for all the people around him
Rob! I love your life and garden.
This is why it’s so amazing to eat plant based!
i love your advocacy. thanks for sharing your “Green” abundant mindset
I didn't skip any moment in this video.. Good luck from Jordan bro.. I hope lots of us will do this ❤️🤞🍀
Great stuff Rob! .... but please, up that saltmaking game, you'll enjoy it. Boil until the first salts settle (calcium sulphate are the needle ones and calcium carbonate is the powdery bit). Pour off the brine and let that evaporate slower so that nice flaky NaCl crystals have time to form. Scoop them off and eventually discard the liquid at the end (called bittern, it is bitter, and has various salts and other chemicals that worsen flavour).
Interesting. I do need to learn more. There's just so much to do, and I don't make time for everything!
this is what all people should do. I think it’ll save the world.
Aye!! You are amazing!! Rescue bees!! That's so great! I have rescue goats from a dairy farm but they are boys so all I get from them is love and entertainment! ...And manure for the garden!You are so inspirational!!
Yes I loved it when Rob says he has rescue bees...that's just so cute, and so awesome - I didn't even know there was such a thing as rescue bees. Im allergic, but I still have respect for these tiny creatures which mean so much to our planet
You are a very good person, a kind of Superhero. just some words from France: Merci pour tout ce que vous faites pour la Terre, pour nous. Je vous souhaite beaucoup de courage pour la suite de votre aventure.
Amazing idea. So happy to see people are receptive
We need more peoples like u in the all over wolrd
Hi Rob, from Montréal, Canada.
I really enjoy what you are doing. You are my idol. Keep going, you change the world your own way and you reach a lot of people. Beautiful! Thank you for sharing and inspiring.
It's incredible to see what you are doing Rob. It goes some way to restoring my faith in humanity. Too often we "forget" what its like to live a simplistic lifestyle that focuses on encouraging and helping others to do the same. I applaud all your efforts Rob, it is really great work.
I was like number 500.
Rob Greenfield I own and live on a new two acre homestead and I am seeking to grow all my own food and all my wife and four children and families own food and sale the rest for profits.
Feel free to come stay on my land in my spare bedroom or my airstream or a tent or wikiup or whatever if you ever wanna stay in Oklahoma and help me figure this lifestyle out.
Open Air Preaching Sherrick Duncan good luck brother. I would like to live that lifestyle as well.
Hi friend! What methods are you planning to Incorporate? You're familiar with permaculture food forests and soil webs?
Also what area of Oklahoma are you in?
Amazing sir u r holy person as u admire nature
Your commitment to live off your efforts to cultivate and forage your own food for a year is admirable. I just hope you're not feeling sad or lonely about it. It would have been really nice for you to have friends to share the experience with and could help you daily so it wouldn't be so tiring as you say. Maybe that's the potential of your current project, i.e. to let others know how possible it is and who may join in your efforts. At this point it seems a little bit shut off from others, because you can't be invited to friends homes to share a meal they've cooked with them. It's a way the energy of love and care is expressed is all I'm saying. I'd think that good yummy feeling of eating together would be sorely missed. Hope you have friends joining you for meals sometimes and who help cook too. :)
It's not shut off from others. It's very involved with others. I just got back from the monthly Orlando Permaculture meeting where I have dozens of friends who practice permaculture. I think if you watch the video again you'll see how involved I am in the community.
@@Robin.Greenfield I understood how involved you are in your community. That's clear. My concern was that eating what others prepare for you, sharing with care and love is how we energize and inspire each other too. It's very powerful and would be a very difficult thing to miss. This is my perspective.
Great inspiration - very well done. I follow in little steps...
Thank you for showing me how accessible growing my own food can be!
what an amazing human!!!
You are such blessing to every community you travel through and take up root.
That would make a good farming shirt. "Show me your gourds" lol
Michael Damico LOL
this guy looks so happy. he's really engaged in his project.
sometimes i wish we could go back to that way of living. simple living without the worries of money.
just fantastic
I liked this video better than some of your other ones Rob because it gives a lager view of what you do and how you do it but more importantly, why you do what you do. Bravo!
Rob I live in upstate NY and I admire you greatly for what you are doing and how you live off of your own food. I would love a neighbor like you to show me how and to share with.
Love this, please keep updating us Rob. Thanks
you are the king of homesteading
Hello Rob,
I'm Sophie, I saw you in the French show Envoyé Spécial and since then, I follow you on Facebook. I admire your challenge and I wish you all the courage to continue to the end.
Thank you for your smile even when it's difficult.
You should try an under ground type of fridge for your preserved foods. Then it would keep a cool temp.
Dude...You are an inspiration! I love your videos and learn so much from them. If you ever decide you want to challenge yourself to a work exchange in an Appalachian environment, reach out! Rehabbing an old farmhouse on four acres with a springfed water supply in SW Virginia. No papayas, alas, but figs, apples, blackberries, yes!
Keep up the amazing work.
I love this guy
Very nice. Thanks. Be happy.
Rob, please don't take this the wrong way, but we need more people with your type of crazy.
hey Rob ! thank you for your knowledge you are inspiring a lots of people, i know some times is difficult, but you have to carry on , remember is like the seed when you harvest it and grows like tree that tree to grow pass a lots of chalenges at storms to make it grow, and then when tree give a lots fruits is great , one day you will see all the fruits that you are harvesting in many people that are changing their life and that you are making the world a better place , fantastic job !!
I want Rob to be my neighbor or great friend. This man is awesome.
This is great. I am also growing some food in my garden. Unfortunately here in Germany we can’t harvest all year around as winters are very cold, so we need to preserve a lot of the food that we harvest in summer. But that’s alright. That’s how I grew up...
This is such a fulfilling life you are leading.
Love your work and energy... Truly an example of REAL environmentalism.
You just humbled me so much- I though I was working hard in my garden
What amazing simple life very peaceful life.
Hey Rob, I was looking/researching wild yams and your video came up... the next morning (today)... I noticed your "project" and was instantly hooked and subcribed on the TV and now on my work's email. Your personality is wonderful and radiates positivity! I wanted to show my family! Keep up the good work, good sir! :)
You are awesome! 👏 Really love what you are doing. Thank you, God bless.
I heard you on 104.1 today. Hats off to you!!! I've started planting with my children that last couple of weeks.
So awesome. That's the most inspiration I've seen from one man in awhile. Keep it up brother!👍
When you said foraging, I thought you'd be foraging some Florida native plants, such as Purslane, cabbage palm (heart of palm), Blackberry, Beauty berry. But, it is still AMAZING! I could never do it!
I do forage for those and other native plants.
BROTHER YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE GOING BACK TO FLORIDA. I WISH WE COULD GET SOMEONE LIKE YOU IN ROANOKE VA. LIKE WE SAY AN FRENCH : FELICITATION. JESUS LOVES YOU, SO DO I. HE'S COMING SOON, GET READY. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
Read about you for the first time last week from the Orlando Weekly. I've been mesmerized ever since.....certainly a little jealous seeing how you made things so simple in comparison to the rest of us.
Hey Rob, I really respect you because you don't just talk the talk but walk the walk. I was really happy to hear that you are growing Malabar Spinach and Moringa. In the Philippines we call them Alungbati and Malunggay/Mulunggay and they are known for their healing effects on the body. Traditionally we put Malabar Spinach with stewed beans such as mung beans. I also like making a refreshing/revitalizing tea from fresh Moringa leaves. Keep living your truth and keep producing this amazing content!
You rock my friend.I have a friend that loves fermented things,one thing is pickles,he has buried his fermented items under ground to keep them cool.Have you ever thought of trying that?
I am going to do that. Just haven't gotten around it yet!
I just had to look up the berkey water filter, comes with a lifetime warranty. That's definitely worth using for life. Good stuff brother
An inspiration and you have such great motivation and beliefs, especially about non ownership of property
Dude, you are an AMAZING PERSON for all what you are doing. God bless your endeavors. Healthy eating is medicinal. do it if you are able to.
Rob, I grew up in Orlando, not far from Audobon Park. I know exactly where you are! I'm a big Curtis Stone fan, but you take it to the next level by foraging and processing your food. I'm returning to Florida in May and would love to attend your class! You're awesome and just what people need to sustain themselves. God bless you!
Love your gardens.. so inspiring.. so sweet you rescue bees 😊
Your videos have inspired me to start my own smal square foot garden this weekend. I'm starting with 8 feet sized squares 😬 and 2 separate containers for sweet potato. Also showered with a bucket in the shower with me to catch some of the excess water
How am I only finding you now Rob?!
This is amazing stuff. The fact that you and your team provide so much good info and workshops, and experiences and food for absolutely free is astounding!
Cacao does grow in Florida. Wish you were in my neighborhood.
I've heard of some possible success in Southern Florida, whereas I'm in Central Florida. My guess is that few people have success with it and they are the exception. And it certainly does not grow wild. So there's really no way for me to eat it during this year. Even if I was in South Florida it would take years to possibly establish the trees, and I only had 10 months of prep. But yes, you are right that it does technically grow in a small part of Florida.
That's my goal👍
Grow my own foods
Great inspiration
AWSOME VIDEO
Mr. Greenfield, I just started following you and watching your awesome videos. You're an inspiration!
Love your work Rob...for the katuk leaves (at 3:37) and moringa, you can eat them as soup. Search for the video recipes of "sayur katuk bening" and "sayur kelor bening". There are very delicious Indonesian food. Full of fibers and vitamins.
YOUR AMAZING MR. ROB.💝💝💝💝🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
Wow! Awesome video my friend.
Sad for people who have an HOA! Nice work! looking forward to more videos...
Amazing dude. I have been following along your path for awhile. I tell people all the time how you traveled across the country on your bike and never threw out a piece of trash. Your projects are amazing and inspiring! Cheers from Chicago!
I love the idea of making your yard into a garden!
Simple and comfortable house.like it 💞🌱🌲🍃🍃
