As someone who did not inherit land and my land is in zone 4, Im here to tell you its doable! You will just have a different situation that requires different solutions. Buying land that is more remote or smaller are some ways to work around the costs, it surprising how self sufficient you can be on a small plot of land and choosing land further out from population centres might make selling fresh produce not an option but there are other products to sell that don’t require selling the day you harvest, I highly recommend selling seeds for rare and heritage varieties or growing specialty wood species such as apple and cherry and coppices or pollarding them to sell as specialty wood for smoking, or growing basket willow to sell for craft and decoration or even selling hand made baskets, selling bare roots nursery plants for rare species, or/and even breeding of rare/endangered breeds of heritage animals(especially rare fowl, rabbits, or dwarf ruminants) as they command a premium. Basically anything that earns a far amount even in small spaces and is lower input so can be done without expensive equipment it would take having inherited land to afford. Personally i advise avoiding fresh produce like the plague unless u mange to find land close to the city because investing in any product that spoils quickly if u don’t sell it immediately is not a good investment. People tout selling high value products like berries and salad greens but personally i find them finicky and require to many imputs, so i only grow enough for my own needs and instead if annuals i adapted my diet to focus on lower input perennials instead. Due to low food bill, lower property tax due to being remote, being off grid, and not having overbought equipment i can support my self off of very little land. It’s doable don’t give up yet, just look for things more applicable to your situation

@sparks6177

That makes sense because agro forestry and permaculture is a decades long process. Inherited land is a fast way to get into it. A neglected orchard already has established trees and infrastructure to build onto and rework. If you started off with purchased land there’s likely going to be land clearing, brush and dead or invasive forest to remove, landscaping, irrigation, etc. unless you can shell out a lot of money for already developed land the only way most people will get into it is through generational development or getting into it while you’re young and have a great work ethic. I mean as you can see this guy started out with something already set up as a orchard and had just been neglected for a few years and he’s already spent over 5 years on it and it’s still in a relatively early stage

@@RoflMcCoptrson probably true, but also true that the vast majority of people who inherit land do nothing with it, or develop it, or sell it off and do something more lucrative. People who stay on the land and treat it with respect are privileged, no doubt, but it also takes a lot of work and dedication. I could work much less hard and make much more money if I just sold my farm and went and got a decent job.

Good job Byron! I had a permaculture farm in the middle of the Shawnee National forest in S. IL. My garden and food forest was only around 2.5 ac. The rest of my property consisted of ponds and horse pasture. Even on such a small farm we had more production than we could ever use. We have since moved back to a small- to mid-sized town the S. Appalachians. I plan to build up my permaculture farm at my residence in the town and at a small property that we will buy outside of town. We feel that urban and suburban permaculture farms in small- to medium-sized towns are the way to go. You are close to markets, labor, potential students and potential clients and there is more opportunity to influence people as more people will actually see what you are doing and get to experience for themselves the successful alternative ecologically-based lifestyle that you can provide for them. That’s our focus now. Food forests on small farms, community gardens and small suburban and urban properties. Having a smaller property means less maintenance and more time to design, teach, write and consult. You don’t need a huge tract of land to do this. You just need good design, fertile soil, available water and sunlight - all of which is easier to achieve on a small holding.

I think the small acreage style homestead is definitely better if you can manage the abundance. Sometimes it’s nice to have extra land for diversifying microclimates and even for storage of scavenged building materials etc. on the other hand small acreages in suburbia have greater access to markets, closer to towns and small cities to educate like you mentioned. The more people know how food is grown the better. Running for the hills might not be the best for anyone if you are too far from anything to benefit from the strength a community provides.

Fairly basic yet high impact concepts that most, myself in particular, would have otherwise overlooked, start small and build on it. Great advice! Thank you.

Tree Fountain (aka Tree of Life) 1- Bore a hole into and up a tree being careful not to bisect the core of the tree. Alternative: Use bamboo or grow sugar cane as a natural and permeable plumbing and cultivate it so that the tree grows around it. 2- Coat the inside of the hole with beeswax. I would highly recommend making a place to put a beehive in the tree near some water. The natural hum of the bees can promote health throughout the structure and through the water. 3- Put a water basin at the top and a fire pit or fireplace at the bottom. The water basin can actually be used for a secondary water source that would promote growth and potentially allow for the tree to grow taller. 4- Put copper pipe around the inside of the fire pit or up the chimney for a fireplace. This will act as a pump. (You can also use a hotplate if you prefer) The copper pipe should only be used close to the intense heat of the fire. Any amount of heat promotes upward movement in this case. 5- Add water wheels (fidget spinners can be used for some decent mini water wheels) for electricity. This electricity can also be used to promote growth in the structure and in gardens. Check out how electricity is used to directly and drastically improve plant growth. 6- Add hanging gardens for fresh produce. A vertical style garden will do several things to improve overall health and productivity. 7- Splice other saplings and/or fresh tree cuttings using the tongue and groove method for shelter. This can be done with roots as well as branches. Encouraging roots to intermingle and cultivating a healthy mycelium bed are both ways that allow all the plants to share nutrients and different forms of protection. This would create a natural network that can be used similar to a computer for both the plants and people if a computer interface is plugged into the chemical language of the plants. This design provides food, filtered and conditioned water and air, electricity, shelter and SO much more! Everything a person needs for life and survival. Hence the "Tree of Life" nickname! In addition to the benefits listed and the techniques described, this structure will grow and get stronger over time. Crystals can be used as a natural source of low level energy creation and as forms of transistors. Cymatics can be used as a form of communication directly with the plants. There is SOOOOO much more that can be done using this method for creating structures and homes BECAUSE it is living. -This idea will eliminate 90% of the demand for large corporations and industries. - This idea will reverse air pollution and filter the world's air naturally and beneficially. - This idea will reveal the counterproductivity of governments and starve the governments of their power. Your fear and desperation. There will be no need to clear cut entire forests to build ever again and this will encourage the natural ecology in our world instead of fighting with it. Be a part of the change. Not a part of the problem through government. We have made excuses for ignoring the fact that we are supporting all the problems we state we are against. Let's be the change!!!

They told me to pour Round Up on all the weeds around the trees and I accidentally laughed out loud. We’ve been chopping and dropping the weeds in the meantime, but I can definitely start strategically planting more desirable species in there.

Thanks for the video. I liked all of it. Particularly I liked when you stressed the importance of networking. A few months back we went to a little agro fair here in Jalisco, and my friend said we should bag up some cherry tomato seeds that I'd dried. Cherry tomatoes are common in Mexico, really quite a basic plant, one of the first things we managed to grow. Even so, almost everyone that had seeds at the fair was willing to trade with us, even giving us much more than we'd given them. Partly it's Mexican hospitality, partly it's something about brotherhood and goodwill. They see that you're serious about growing plants and they want to see their plants propagate, and acknowledge the camaraderie of really being a gardener. A little note about the audio. Your voice is coming through quite clear, but the wind noise can be distracting. If you buy a basic lav mic for about $30-40 and put it under your shirt, it will improve your sound quality a lot.

This is a really good video. Good advices ! Thank you, it helps for my food forest development. Wish you success for the next !

I had to stop and take deep breaths just listening! :o) But most of all a whole lot of knowledge in a short time. Don't worry the brain gets it even if most people don't think they did. On that note Syntropic Agroforestry was a trem I wasn't really familiar with, but 2 years ago the term Food Forest was foreign to me. But following the Permaculture, Earth Science side of self sustaining agriculture. It all makes sense. Having said that I believe we are on the cusp of High productive small scale farming operations which the world has gone away from in the past 50 years which has led us to the poor state of health and land management we're in now... Sorry that's a whole nother subject. Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing more of what you may accomplish and give back to the growing community!

Have a look at Dr Christine Jones's work. She has a theory that is working out that cover cropping /companion planting is funded by primarily bacterial communities that are tied to the species of plant. Resilience and growth is arbited through having multiple families "intermingling ". Having four or more families of plants and not just species attracts larger microbial communities which have been shown to help each other through biotic and abiotic stress. I believe this work is a new way to look at assessing what works or doesn't in companionship. She talks about tests that show different families have different stress reactions so a community of families have the ability to use their own "superpowers" persay to lend to the community and expect the same when they are exposed to their kryptonite. It's a fascinating way to add an emperical method to testing how diversity works.
