  1. An excellent video–thank You! I hope you can focus on some plants native to Portugal on your farm, like cork oak–fire resistant and very useful. Maybe there are some native grasses/sedges that could be used in the lawn rather than non-native lawn grasses. You will have all kinds of ideas by the time you return.

  2. I am so happy to see this Episode. John is a good role model . Hearing him talk about hanging out with Cruseo .. We see a lot of fathers unempowered and just not present. I love that you found your spot and a plan for your family and farm.

  3. So pleased you are embracing premature and regenerative farming. We have a small strip of lawn comprised.of grass, clover and a few other plants that have self seeded. The little birds of several species love it and feed on the seeding grass if we let it grow a bit.and generally peck around for insects etc.If you have a bird bath nearby with a branch to perch on and a bush to nice in , they will love it! A lawn is also essential for running under the sprinkler in summer!

  4. Wow that's a lot of knowledgeable information makes me excited for yall can't wait for yall to get back on the farm and put your knowledge to work ..great video thank yall God bless yall from braselton Ga USA 🇺🇸

  5. Thank you so much for sharing with us! How exciting! I really like the idea of the clover in amongst the wheat!
    So fun watching little Crusoe because he is so cute and so sweet! Ian was good with him too!!

  6. natural farming: JADAM, Korean natural farming.

    it's all about regenerative farming using natural microbes. Youngsang Cho.
    Many farmers in HI, use these principles.

    regenerative farming is catching on in many States here in the U.S.A.

  7. Don't forget John Seymours book, and their advice of regeneration and rebuilding the soil all makes sense. Looks like you will re-pioneer the meaning of agriculture. Good luck and you have my very best wishes for your every success. Sorry I am not closer to hand to fix your "old banger"! It would have been my pleasure, plus I would have loved to "farm sit" for you while you're in the UK. Enjoy the rest of your stay in my favourite part of the UK…. God Bless.

  8. Hello Tara John and Crusoe what a truly wonderful visit to that farm I thoroughly enjoyed watching it , the problem with the de line of birds and insects is the loss of trees and hedgerows ,and when I was growing up the hedgerows had blackberries and raspberries growing in them and wild strawberries on the ground and mushrooms to which my grandfather used to take us for walks and collect these take them back for my grandmother to make pies and Jams , this was in wales a wonderful childhood and my grandfathers very long garden to which he grew just about everything . He would dig a hole the size of a bucket where all the peelings egg shells all kitchen waste plus fluff and dust from the house and the bucket under the wooden seated toilet at the bottom of the garden . Even now I have a popcorn bucket in my utility which I bring into the kitchen and all the waste goes into it then I dig a hole and bury it just like grandad but I cannot keep digging hole non stop as I only have a patch as it is orchard and all stones, but the little bit I do have I am putting nutrients back into the soil and less waste into the wheely bin. The more I watch Crusoe the more I want to hug him and can understand John wanting to spend as much time as possible with him he is so Comical fresh cucumber looks good and I had to laugh in one of your clips on your farm when Crusoe is holding the hose and moves it towards John I cracked up sorry John but it was funny . You have many happy years to come on your farm and a wonderful life for your children when the other makes an appearance and that means many more times for us to join you and watch Crusoe growing up thank you so much stay safe my friends ❤
