Hey guys, the most common question is, what is our net profit. It's changed over the years and it used to be way higher during the years I used to work full time on the farm. It's still around 50%, even with me working part-time on the farm. Over the last 2 years, our net profit was 75%. Hope that clears that question up.

What strikes me more than anything, as a fellow market gardener, is how efficient and thoughtful this is. He has figured things out, in terms of reducing work, maximizing yield while maintaining organic quality. Little things like his salad trimmer, washing systems, earth storage of greenhouse heat, which he readily shares here, along with the thinking that lies behind his techniques are a huge gift to the rest of us. In addition, he is providing a model of using urban land that is not currently in use for food production. Huge benefits from this depth of design. Because I live in Newfoundland, the challenges of climate for gardeners and growers are much more extreme than in Kelowna, BC. However, most of his techniques will work here, mainly by using greenhouses and row covers to start plants early and harvest them late. Thanks so much!

This is so fascinating how you make use of people's spare back yard space and everyone wins. Wish more neighborhoods were so enlightened and saw the value of this, rather than pointlessly competing to see who has the greener lawn.

So this is that video that's the most concise, and gives the overview of the operation, but hasn't taken that many views. Great stuff. The summer setup for microgreens the one I've been looking for.

This is the most inspiring urban farming video I've ever seen. Amazing and well done sir.

I have no interest in gardening. This is what covid has done. I’ve watched nearly everything on YouTube at this point.

But, that’s a very cool business plan you have. Smart guy

[jameelaha]

Regardless of your profit I have alot of respect in what you guys do! I am struggling trying to keep a couple of raised beds to grow veggies. Plus your doing organic. Your offering a valuable resource to the community with fresh organic produce. It looks like so much work and study. Great job!

The notes on the side of the Fridge at 5:15 are fascinating. I think handling information about what's in the fridge is probably more important than the equipment itself! I'd be interested to know more about how you make sure you're always sending out the freshest produce.

[jeremywallace]

Dang, you've got this system dialed! Super awesome to see how it all works- hopefully more people are inspired to do something similar.

[preciousmetalhead]

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’m moving out of San Diego to North Carolina. I want to start a small homestead and small farm as a business. This was super helpful. You’re a true badass Curtis. 🤘🏻🌱🤘🏻

Very impressive video, the amount of thought and work that has clearly gone into all of this is amazing

[ShowYouOnceAgain]

great info and great plans. in one of your videos you mentioned greens that were about $9 a pound and i knew right away you could not be in the usa. you are doing it right. We enjoy your information and process. wishing you continued success !

[vinylhanger]

This was a great overview of your operations. I've been overdosing on your videos for the last month or two. It can get to be a bit overwhelming. This one kind of resets things, slows it down and puts it back in a neat box. Now I can go back out and get my market garden fix again.

Nifty I have .68 acre this gives me hope and ideas for my simple homestead

*Nice business strategy !*
It's a lot of work, but less investment, than in other businesses.
Great for the other urban farmers to copy.

Just discovered your channel, and your farm is very impressive.. Back when I was still in the Landscape design game I used a Perennial Flower Nursery that was essentially like your urban farm. It was a half acre Nursery in the middle of a housing development. Mike the guy who owned it squeezed flowers and greenhouses into every inch of the property that wasn't his house, and made a great living doing it. He put four kids through college with that tiny nursery, and had so many varieties of perennials, it was one stop shopping for me.

Amazing use of space. I really like the set up. Everything so well planned out. Keep it up!

[Dude-hvys]

Thanks for detailing the arrangement with the neighbors: I was writhing in curiosity.

Wow, the tip you shared at 2:30 was a game-changer! Thanks for breaking it down so clearly. Keep up the great work! 🌱
