Understand the Holistic Farm Management Philosophy

Good morning everybody. Welcome back to another gorgeous day on the Stony Ridge. I'm going on vacation. I'm finally going to go on vacation. It's been a year uh since I've been on vacation. And today I'm going to take you around. I'm going to show you what I have to do to prepare to leave this place. I've got a farm sitter coming later today. What a challenge it is to prepare for a vacation. You become a prisoner to your property, guys. You just do. So, let's get Buddy fed and taken care of real quick and we'll take you and show you what we're doing. Eat that breakfast. Good boy. Good boy. Uh, every day Buddy gets a scoop of food. He doesn't live in the kennel. He just floats around the farm wherever he wants to go, pretty much. Uh, my fig tree looks like it's about to start producing. Check it out.

A little bit later today, we're going to be mowing. We're going to be mowing where the u chickens are.

I have to work very closely with my farm sitter to make sure that he knows exactly what to do to keep the animals safe. His main job is going to be monitoring fences. Okay. So, typically the cows are so used to moving here on this property. I'm moving them about every 12 hours, 12 to 24 hours. Now, they're so used to moving, they're spoiled brats. So, while I'm gone, I'm going to be gone for like 5 days, and they're going to be set in one specific paddic. And the reason I did that, it's a very large paddic, probably 15 acres, which is just fine. And I've set out enough hay bales, and you guys will see the hay bales from the drone shots. They'll have access to this entire area right here, this entire uh ridge line and in the woods. So, it's really concerning to me that my cows stay comfortable and that they have plenty of nice cool places to go chill out. And they can go chill out, lay down by the creek, and stay nice and cool and graze in the mornings and in the evenings. So that's what happens. If I didn't put the hay out here, the cows would definitely be balling and they are going…
