The Missing Ingredient with Industrial Organic Vegetables

Added: 2026-05-25

[00:00:01]I want to share with you what we mean when we say old school organic when it comes to how we grow our produce.

[00:00:09]But first let me explain how it's done at the industrial scale like you're seeing at Costco and Walmart.

[00:00:15]Those are massive facilities, massive land tracks, and they are in vegetables production, vegetables production, year after year after year. And that alone will deplete the soil.

[00:00:31]If you do not integrate animals, a ruminant in particular to that system, you will deplete the soil of life and therefore you will need those organically approved chemicals that you need to feed the plants.

[00:00:46]What we do is the old-school way of integrating livestock.

[00:00:53]Two years ago this was a pasture being grazed by sheep. Then those sheep were overwintered in a paddock and fed in this area.

[00:01:04]Then they came through, we tilled this, planted all these strawberries, so all of that life is now naturally abundant.

[00:01:14]And what it gives you is a system of living symbiotic relationships where the soil microbiology interacts with the plant root systems, the plant harnesses the sun's energy, and they work together to produce what?

[00:01:35]Well, in this case, my friends, amazing strawberries that are about ready to come on in a big way.
