Bugtussle Biodynamic Organic Farm – Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) – winter 2009

admin — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 14:47:21 +0000

Multimedia by Tim Harris. Bugtussle Farm is located in beautiful south-central Kentucky and supply an 80-family CSA in Nashville, TN. Please visit our website at www.bugtusslefarm.com. We are committed to sustainable, organic agriculture . This approach provides you with chemical-free food and also directly links you to the natural cycles of the earth. The farm is managed in a holistic manner with all life forms and processes being respected. This approach has numerous benefits that differentiate our practices from conventional farming practices. A few examples: resources are conserved and recycled by working with, rather than against, nature; weeds and pests are seen as indicators of soil conditions rather than enemies to wage war on; and food can be consumed directly out of the garden in all of its goodness and glory without fear of chemical residues. Your involvement in this farm will simply be enjoying the delectable harvests and therefore helping sustain the farm.

We raise 2 acres of diverse vegetables, herbs, flowers, berries, and mushrooms. The farm has a large flock of free-foraging hens, and a small herd of goats, sheep, and cattle, all grazing on a rotating garden system. We also have honeybees, a young orchard, a vineyard, and a berry patch as well as forests, creeks, and the cultivated gardens.

admin — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 14:32:59 +0000

Thaddeus discusses the basics of the Permaculture vision for transforming a consumerist society into one that encourages everyone to produce some of their own needs.

This talk explains the permaculture ethics, history, worldwide movement, and local community efforts that are taking place right now.

Sustainable agriculture is discussed on both a farm and household scale with real world examples of permaculture installations and design principles found in the Midwest.

Perennial crops, the backbone of permaculture systems are shown as energy sources for fuel production.

The brand new concept of Financial Permaculture, the bringing together of natural systems thinkers with money systems thinkers is explained along with an example of how it would apply to one Michigan county.

Finca Las Nubes Sustainable organic farm living
This totally private farm features hundreds of acres of indigenous forest which are enhanced by our annual planting of thousands of precious hardwood trees. Preservation and reforestation are a priority to creating an abundant future. The wildlife is healthy and protected within it. We have planted fruit orchards with dozens of varieties of citrus, mango, avocado, cashew, banana, papaya, coconut and many other exotic local fruits. We have planted coffee and cocoa. Organic vegetable gardens supply our needs. At the nursery we start from seed and cuttings all manner of fruit, and hardwood trees, ornamental plants and vegetables. We imitate nature, most farmers fight nature. Nature always wins. We make organic soil from worm castings fed from the wood shop shavings, cow and chicken manure and other organic waste. Compost and soil regeneration are key to a healthy farm. We employ mulching, composting and water saving techniques through the use of companion plantings, live and dead barriers, nitrogen fixers, organic fertilizers, organic disease control, biological pest control and plants that attract beneficials. There are chicken and turkey pens for organic eggs and meat. We have herds of cows, pigs and pelibuey (goat/sheep cross) to provide organic milk and beef. We do not intend on dying from eating chemically tainted foods. We have bee hives for honey and pollination. Oxen pull carts to move produce around the farm. Our farm crew is as family to us.
We intend to provide for all our needs. We process all of our timber for construction and our furniture in the wood shop. Our carpenters can produce any imaginable design. They frame our buildings, roof them with incredible tile and make all the cabinets and furniture designs that we can dream up. All hardware and metalwork are fashioned onsite. Almost everything is hand made onsite, butcher, baker, candlestick makerWe have a fantastic construction crew building some beautiful and very permanent buildings.

Concerned Citizens Buy Cows to Save Organic Dairy Farm

admin — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 21:25:41 +0000

Inspiring news story of a town’s efforts to save and re-establish an organic dairy farm. Friends of Town Farm Dairy in Simsbury, Connecticut, raised funds to purchase seven organic Jersey cows to ensure enough production for town-owned Town Farm Dairy to survive and serve the poor, a condition of the deed from the owner who willed the farm to the town in the late 19th century. Small dairy farms across America are vanishing as land prices escalate and the return on dairy farming goes down. Town Farm Dairy is bucking that trend. The news story has pretty pictures of this New England organic farm and, of course, sweet, brown-eyed cows doing what cows love to do…eat hay…lots of hay. Thank you to WTIC-TV, Fox 61 in Hartford, CT, which gave permission to upload this video.

Organic products take off in France

admin — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 22:20:35 +0000

organic food is really taking off in France. Forty-six percent of French people put at least one organic produce in their shopping trolly a month during 2009. In fact, the organic option has become so popular, the few farmers who’ve chosen to specialise in the area are having trouble keeping up with demand. The French government intends to more than double the amount of land currently dedicated to organic farming by 2012. With agriculture one of France’s leading economic sectors, the stakes are high if organic producers are able to stake an even bigger claim of the market. A natural sound version of an AFPTV report.
