He also describes his journey as a truth seeker, which started long before he even became a farmer. He details the new life he created as a result of standing up for that in which he believes. Topics covered in this interview: Curtis shares his story of the legal process of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency “trying to shake” him down on his farm, and how they backed down after he said he would charge them a consulting fee for spending time visiting to review it.  A cultural renaissance happening in the rural areas, in the small communities, with a new breed of entrepreneurs developing. The importance of standing up for truth, even if not for yourself, but for your children. Curtis' goals of being in control with his homestead: food, water, energy and shelter. The awakening of the past two years, with more people becoming conscious of what's going on, and things becoming easier and easier as a result.. Pattern recognition of applying permaculture. Curtis' faith journey from being an atheist to now believing God is in everything, with AI drawing people away. The book, The Law of One, about cycles in life. Feeling in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration, to move beyond ego. “Unschooling” as a way Curtis' children are learning at home. Jim shared a private school he is creating to build self-reliance, starting with learning how to grow food. Curtis' process of going from no money and raising funds through a bike tour, to how he built a profitable “scalable” farm, tracking it in his book, The Urban Farmer.

Our guest today is Curtis Stone the farmer of Green City Acres. Curtis is a farmer, author, speaker and consultant. His area of expertise is in quick growing, high value annual vegetables for direct consumer market streams. Together, we’ll discuss a wide range of topics, discussing how he applies the Pareto Principle or the 80/20 rule on his farm, how that can provide a quality of life, virtue signaling in agriculture, trends in the future and much more. This was a great interview, we cover a lot in a short time. Just so you are aware there will be a little swearing in todays episode and an absence of political correctness, so if you are easily offended by either please listen to a different episode. Shownotes Green City Acres was started in 2010, Curtis learned that he could maximize a smaller amount of acres to have increased production. Curtis uses the Pareto Principle, or the 80/20 rule. The rule is in essence that 80% of your outcomes come from 20% of your input. Within the last two years of being a dad, Curtis has started using this principle even more so he can spend more time with his family. The interest in farming started with a desire to know how to survive in a worst case scenario. Curtis has worked to make his life Anti-Fragile, working to have greater upside in spite of any downside. Can you learn more in less time by leveraging other people’s experiences? By starting his membership site, Curtis eliminated the trolls. There are exciting opportunities for integrating new technologies into the market gardening business.

Today it's back to Kelowna and Green City Acres as Curtis and I take a look back at his experiences with inter-planting, planting multiple crops in the same space . It's something that he's done for a few years now, and something that he's doing again this year with his tomatoes. We first stated talking about this subject back in 2015 when we did an episode touching on the subject in Season One, then we hit on it again almost a year ago in Season Two. Today we are going to take a look at what Curtis is doing now when it comes to inter-planting and how that's changed since we first started talking about it two years ago. It's a technique that Curtis has a lot of experience with, but one that's continually evolving as he uses it more. It's a technique that he uses, because it allows him to earn a lot more in the same space over a given year. For are going example he made and additional $1100 last year, by inter-planting Salanova lettuce in with his tomatoes. That's an extra $1100 that most farmers wouldn't captured. That's the benefit of inter-planting. Getting multiple yields out of the same space over the same time period. But be aware going in, this technique isn't for everyone. There's a lot of constraints and complications that come with inter-planting. And it's a technique that doesn't make sense if you have a lot of land. None the less, it's a technique that can be a game changer for those of you who do feel like you have a limited amount of land. For you all, this is just another way to get more crops and more money, without adding land.

It was us taking a look back at Curtis production for the 2015 season. Today we will do something similar for 2016, because a lot has changed. Let's start by rewinding the clock and go back that previous episode from December 2015... "We are officially out of the main season and for the most part, Curtis is now done producing crops off of his farm. In this episode we will take a look at what Curtis produced on the farm in 2016, and how much of it he produced. And as a hint, he produced a lot. All in Curtis produced about 17,500lbs of product off of his farm this year. That's a lot of food coming from a small space. Remember Curtis is only farming off of 15,000 sq.ft. which is spread out over 5 plots. And this year he made the most of it producing over 17,000lbs of produce on those 5 plots. And we aren't talking corn and potatoes here. For the most part many of the crops which he produced really aren't that heavy, he simply produced a lot of product. 3000lbs of tomatoes, 2500lb. of radishes, 2500lb. of spring mix, 2000lbs of turnips. Big numbers for a small farm." That was then. Now let's go to present day of December 2016. And while a year ago the production season was over, this year, it's not. We are still in production season, because Curtis's farm now produces year round, with sales every week of the year. That's just one of the many changes that took place at Green City Acres this year. As we look back at 2016, it was a year where Curtis farmed less land than 2015, cut back on certain crops, and added others. Part of those changes came as a result of changes in his market streams as he cut back on restaurant sales, eliminated the farmers market, and started selling a lot more to local grocers. Big changes, that have had a big effect on what he's growing and how much he's producing... Let's jump into it and take a look at Curtis 2016 farm production... what was produced, what wasn't, and why it changed.

It's currently September 15, 2016 and the end of the regular farming season is near. Along with it is Curtis's tenure at the Kelowna Farmers Market. After 7 seasons at the farmers market, Curtis is moving on. It's part of a larger effort to simplify the farm and match the farm to his lifestyle. At this point in his career Curtis is trying to simplify his farm. Not grow bigger just to be bigger. Instead choosing to grow better becoming more efficient and effective. That means focusing on the market streams that work, the products that sell, and moving to plots located even closer to his homebase. Part of those changes involve dropping things like the farmers market which has done since the beginning of his career. But it's a market stream that requires getting up on Saturday for 8 months of the year and it's a market stream that isn't growing anymore. And It's one of the many changes taking place at Green City Acres, resulting in a farm that will look very different come April 2017. Today we will take a look at the many changes coming to Green City Acres, along with they why behind those changes.

If we go back to where we left of Season One of the show, it was December and there really wasn't any crop production happening on the land itself for Green City Acres. At that time some of the land was sitting fallow waiting for future planting in the spring, and some of the land was occupied by dormant crops that had been planted a few months earlier in the fall. Let's find out how much Curtis' total farm has been quietly in production throughout the winter, with beds holding overwintered crops, and why. This episode also covers overwintering crops, prepping beds with tarps and stale seed bedding, and dealing with the shoulder season day length changes.

I think you’ll love today’s show! Today, we talk with Curtis Stone, Founder of Green City Acres, an urban farm in Kelowna, British Columbia. Curtis was a musician who decided he wanted a different life. He started his urban farm with a $7,000 investment and without buying any land. (That means no debt!) His first […]

Curtis Stone of Green City Acres joins me to talk about his experience as a SPIN Farmer.SPIN Farming is a methodology to grown a lot of produce on very little land. It provides you with a plan to get started now so you can get cash flow going, gain experience and skills. It breaks down the big barriers to farming, being owning land the access to capital. SPIN teaches you how to start farming with very little start-up cost and how to get a quick return on your investment.Typical start-up costs are around $10,000 and you can make $20,000 in your first year. When Curtis started SPIN Farming he put $7000 into the business and made $22000 his first year. His main start-up costs included a rototiller, a walk in cooler, garden tools, and his irrigation supplies. Every year since they Curtis has grown his business and his earnings.
