Gardens, Truck Patches, and Fields - The FHC Show, ep 13

There are as many different views of what a garden or farm is, as there are farmers and gardeners. And a lot of it has to do with one's culture, experience, or perspective.There are numerous classifications for gardeners, farmers, and the agriculture they practice these days (homesteader, commercial, organic, community supported agriculture, subsistence, permaculture, natural, sustainable agriculture) and all kinds of places to practice these methods (homestead, commercial farm, organic farm, subsistence farm, mini farm, micro farm, hobby farm, cottage farm, small farm).

Farming and gardening is becoming popular again, but knowing where you fit in to this vast world of farms and farming methods is the first step in knowing what you’re trying to accomplish on your farm or in your garden. In this 13th episode of The Farm Hand's Companion Show, Pa Mac explores these things—giving historical perspective along the way—while presenting some of the handicaps he'll be overcoming with his own farm and garden. You'll learn the differences between a garden, a truck patch, and a field.

Be sure and subscribe to the Farm Hand's Companion channel to keep up with the progress as Pa Mac takes an undeveloped piece of property and turns it into a small subsistence farm. Watch for new episodes as often as Pa Mac can crank 'em out and still run a farm. (As long as he's alive and kicking, he's most assuredly farming and filming!)
