The Agro Rebel

Filed under: Videos |


The Austrian farmer and forester practices “permaculture” a different kind of farming on his mountain property. With this certain form of organic-agriculture, he is very convincing and successfully. Contrary to all conventional rules and despite annual average temperatures of 4.5°C and an altitude of between 900m-1400m, he cultivates cherries, apples, mushrooms, kiwis, lemons, pumpkins, potatoes and zucchinis.

  3. I went out and visited ‘Sepp’ on his farm a few years back. He does his own tours of his ‘farm’. He is quite, quite mad, brilliant, but mad. I learned more about growing stuff in that one day than I had from any book or course. Thank you so much for posting.

  7. Also, don’t forget that Paul has “given a lot of free stuff to a lot of people. More than all other permaculture people combined.” This link, for instance… never mind that it was originally a link posted by someone else in a forum on the site he oversees, which he never mentioned. After all, it’s Paul’s empire. Paul is so awesome, and he’s just not getting the recognition he deserves.

  14. This made me very, very sad. This man has made a paradise, and in his paradise he has so many things I’ve never seen before

    Where I live everything is ugly. Concrete, strip malls, liquor stores, pawn shops, fast food, box superstores, highways full of metal coffins… I know the food is unfit to eat, and when I try to buy something organic so I dont get cancer it turns out to be a lie. What I wouldn’t give to have some land to do this, but land is not for slaves…
