Beautiful 8 Acre Permaculture Farm Combines Trees, Livestock, and a Productive CSA Market Garden

Following on from the Agroforestry video we made @TapoNothFarm, we now look more deeply into their whole farm design, way of life, thoughts on regenerative agriculture, and their beautiful homestead. From keeping goats for making cheese and using the manure for the market garden, to using chickens as forest birds to help with managing and developing forest gardens, Tap o' Noth Farm have created a truly magical permaculture paradise in Scotland.

Regenerative Films aims to share the stories of people and projects that are regenerating ourselves, our soils, and our communities.

Hi guys, im from Vietnam. We have a home forest farden where i grow different forest big wood trees, about 1, 5 hecta. Around the house we grow vegies, herbs, fruit trees and keep some chickens, mostly for self consumption. We ve been doing this for 8 years. I hope to pass down the garden to my children, and hope they will appreciate it. Cheers from Vietnam!!

Love this series on Agroforestry! It is great to see people trying to recover our planet. As someone once said, "There are no passengers on Spaceship Earth. We are all crew."

My wife and I are on twenty acres of woodland in SW Michigan, working to develop a permaculture designed homestead that integrates a range of forest agriculture and craft into a productive, regenerative system. Videos like this and the stories of other people doing similar things are immensely valuable as inspiration and encouragement, because one thing that this process is not, is easy ;)

I'm not crying, you're crying !! Hands down, one of the best permaculture farms I've seen. The joy they have is palpable

[richlijacanacua]

Awesome job!

God bless you both in all of your endeavors! God created man and woman with the ability to steward the earth and he never took that away from us despite what the rest of the world seems to think.

back in the 70s there was a tv show called The Good Life with Richard Briers and Felicity Kendal. about a couple who decides to throw out the modern world and basically turn their suburban home into a farm. all sorts of shenanigans ensue and if you have ever attempted farming of any sort you are bound to relate on more than a dozen subjects.

it was a comedy back then, but it's becoming a reality for more and more people and honestly what little i know about Briers i have a feeling he's laughing at the irony of it all.
it's a good show, and on youtube. look it up! might even give you some ideas. I took up farming 15 years ago but was already exposed to it by my grandparents when i was really young. i just never had my own patch of land to do anything.
we have all the usual farm animals including a couple of cows and their calf. this year we added honey bees and i reinstated my geese. i used to have a small gaggle of them but sold them. missed them terribly after five or six years...so i bought five goslings back in march. they're not honking yet but they do strut around like royalty and i love it... probably going to get rid of the turkeys. i have officially decided i am not a fan. and i want to cut back on chickens and do more with quail and pigeons.

it IS a good life though. at this moment i have a fridge full of milk from my goats and cow, i have fresh eggs, and home grown pork. i could absolutely make homemade scotch eggs and they ACTUALLY be homemade because it all came from my homefarm. i have so much milk but only one person outside my family is willing to come get it. i end up feeding the extra to my chickens or pigs 🙄 i would much rather give it to friends. but they've all been trained to reject it. like i said, been doing this 15 years. 15 years of raw milk, raising my kids on it, no one has died. only thrived.

I would love to see more people do this on whatever spot of land they can. if you have access to dirt you should be able to grow something to eat. people grow house plants in the city, college kids used to grow weed in their closets.... you can certainly grow tomatoes in your apartment if you really wanted to!!
and a goat takes up as much room as a dog - depending on the breed, large or small. and they will happily landscape for you for free, AND they make clean fertilizer AND milk which also makes cheese. and they don't bark or bite people.
ducks are a red meat and more sustainable than beef. their eggs are higher on the alkaline scale which is great if you're on a cancer diet.
pigeons and rabbits kept families alive during famines(pigeons also feed themselves and breed rapidly)
A lot of the plastic in the ocean was once wrapped around food.... but if you grow it yourself, or if you go to a local farmer and pick it yourself, there is no need for all that trash. that alone should motivate people.

Beautiful. Land, Animals seem well raised and properly nourished. Good on them, blessed by God. 🤗 🙌🙌🙌

[lilspiderlily]

I'd love to turn my home into something like this, a mini version of it of course. I love ducks they're cute and useful, goats too. And having greens that can produce fruits would be so great

[curiouscat]

Love this couple - been following them for several yrs :)

[maciejgronowski]

Great to know so more permaculture farms in the UK! All the best from Permaculture farmer from Leicester!!!

[andrewmcintyre]

Love what you have achieved guys, I cant wait to have my own farm and millions of others do too. What a world we will have then.

[nilkolllu]

Life is so beautiful like a dream in the farm!!!

Huw I love these great films you and Sam produce. The artistry and love of subject shine through. It’s a blessing to see the green beauty during the cold winter months

Watching this has been a wonderful way to start this cold and snowy day. Did I only imagine seeing blooming elderberry in the background around 6:05?
