(Live Farm Tour) - Cable Family Farm | #109","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":2241,"description":"Caden and Patrick run Cable Family Farm in Piedmont, North Carolina, where they manage a small 80 bed no-till market garden along with pasture-raised eggs and chickens. Caden started the farm at 18, and then a few years later was able to convince Patrick to join him.\nTheir main concern starting the farm was how would they make money? This tour shows how they produce their crops and animals in a healthy, sustainable way, along with their marketing and production approach to creating a viable small-scale farm production.\nIt was fascinating and productive to hear from these young farmers how they approach farming, why their not organic, the systems they run to stay viable and efficient, and understanding why they chose this career path over everything else (hint, farming food can be incredibly meaningful).\nKey TopicsBuilding an 80 bed no-till market garden from grassTools and systems for small-scale vegetable farmingPasture-raised eggs and chickensOrganic practices without certificationEconomics and tradeoffs on small farms\nConnect with Caden & Patrick:\nInstagram\nYoutube\nOther links\nTimestamps \n\n 00:00:00 Introduction to Cable Family Farm\n 00:01:00 Building a no-till market garden\n 00:06:00 Broadforking and minimal soil disturbance\n 00:10:00 Weather risks and crop failures\n 00:14:00 Time and cost of starting a garden\n 00:19:00 Organic practices vs certification\n 00:23:00 Simple greenhouse and seed starting\n 00:27:00 Egg layers and rotational grazing\n 00:32:00 Raising pasture-raised chickens\n 00:35:00 Why chickens are healthier on pasture","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/al8BwjjnR2m8I-3vEq0Iyx2E0FqQ9QB0aLPF4D6flnY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS81YzE3/NmFmYjZiNmRkZDdm/Y2MwYzk5ZjI5ZjRj/YzgwZi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
