This farmer clearly has done lots of research! He is very knowledgeable and is concerned about his animals' wellbeing :D Always nice to see animals living happily, and stress free :D
I have always liked this style of farming so I decided to give it a go for myself. Still doing research a.t.m. but most likely I will start farming organically in two years time. The plan is to raise sheep, chickens for meat and for eggs and meat rabbits. I was thinking of using Faverolles as meat chickens. does anyone have any experience with them? The sheep and egg layers will be in the same field along with my 2 horses and 2 Llama's to keep the foxes at bay. is 4 hectares too small for this?
@BadSideOfHeaven Yeah I was thinking the same. We are now looking into buying the adjacent field which gives us 4 more hectares. The edges will be planted with hedge rows with a few solitary trees in it to attract wildlife.
Thank you for the great video! May I suggest you look into Joel Salatin's theories on grazing cattle- it's right up your alley, he just tweaks the idea a little bit more.
Thank you to Brooks & Chestnut Hollow Farm!! Pasture raised, grass fed, humanely treated animals are the only way america should farm. It may cost a little more to buy, but the cost to americans health and animal welfare will make up for it 3 fold! Keep up the GREAT work!!

First these guys are total brokeback cowboys! second they have a great product, but they don't know what they are talking about. Pasture raised foods have no more nutrients and I am pretty sure less!
Awesome video! Meat from grass-fed, pastured animals are going to become more mainstream thanks to Food, Inc and Oprah! I put this video on my blog today so my readers can learn (TheSkinnyOnline). Thanks for the great info and hard work!

@klaverenvrouwke i think you would need a little more room if you're going to have sheep aswell

So, a person eating all corn will be just as healthy as a person eating all salads?

I said more nutrients, not healthier. A person eating a diet entirely of one item will be lacking in many key amino acids, minerals, and vitamins.
