this is a dream, what a lovely couple
-
It's hard to believe this garden is only 3 yrs young, they have done an amazing job. 😊😊
-
Thank you so much to Exploring Alternatives for coming to visit us and for sharing our passion, our story and our message. Being able to connect with so many people through the comments is just so wonderful! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I always get so excited when I see people growing their own food, using permaculture principles, learning how to work with the land and animals and "pests". I'm very happy to hear of this family right here in Ontario growing so much of their food in their front yard. Thanks for sharing this inspiring story! There is nothing so satisfying as eating what you have grown yourself!
-
Growing their own food and sharing the excess with those in need. Very nice people.
-
It's wonderful how obvious it is that they were both teachers. From telling us exactly what they were going to do with every vegetable and herb, to how they processed them, even to a drawn representation of the farm, it's awesome! Such a beautiful video.
-
That's why I like living in area surrounded by nature where you can grow your own food. It's peaceful and good for mental health.
-
This is one of the best videos I've seen for raising your own! I'm 73 and disabled, but I can still DO something, just not as much as I used to do. Thanks for the inspiration ❤
-
I LOVE THIS FAMILY! They even plant food for the wildlife 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🙏🏽
-
I love your garden and your gentle and kind thoughts of providing extras for the animals and other people. You are a lovely couple with kind spirits. The world needs people like you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
-
I saw this video and started bursting out happy crying after not crying for years. This is my new vision for my life.
-
Not only it’s genius, it’s beautifully laid out and you made gardening enjoyable
-
Beautiful couple on a beautiful homestead doing beautiful things.

I loved what Magali said about creating a paradise on their own land. I have kept a vegetable garden on and off for many years. About 4 years ago we decided to Permaculture our property. We truly have created our own small Paradise here and we love it! We would never go back. To live in the middle of all this nature, while being able to grow almost all our own food is fabulous!
-
It's amazing to see people producing such a large percentage of their food without being in an area where year-round gardening is possible!
-
I think it would be SO wonderful for his previous students to be able to visit his homestead as a fieldtrip to learn more from their teacher about gardening and permaculture! imagine his knowledge being passed on for future generations to keep up these skills!
-
I love these folks. There are so many useful lessons they're giving us. God bless them.
-
This couple and their shared vision are SO INSPIRING! Teachers and permaculturalists. I would love to have neighbours like you. All in 3 years!
-
This is absolutely amazing! Thank you all so much for bringing it to us.
