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!)
Also visit to find articles, posts, photographs, and encouragement for today’s self-sufficient farm or homestead. (And be sure to check out the General Store for books or DVD’s by Pa Mac.)

Pa Mac , I'd take you as a small holder , not a gardener not as big as a farmer , but a farmer with a small holding . Maybe that fits at the moment . Your information and style of graphics is a pleasure to watch and I look forward to your letters from your lovely place . Great video 👍🇬🇧
Truck farming pre-dates trucks by centuries. It comes from the Old French word "Troquer"-to exchange or trade. Essentially it's the same thing as "market gardener".
I audibly laughed when the old truck morphed into a Z71
Good to see the apple countdown going on.
Thanks so much for sharing your videos and family information with us. You’re truly the blessed folks this country was built on. We really appreciate what you are doing to promote taking care of the land and families and becoming communities with decency! !👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love the Joel Salatin plug!
Your videos are so good. I love how you link through to the traditional, and don't take your self so seriously. Thanks for all your efforts.
love this channel
You are married, Pa Mac, where is the wife?? You can't have done this all by yourself??
When I have watched this video for the 100th time, I will have just begun.
Love your channel, especially the music! Glad to see more videos! Hope all has been well
What an incredible amount of work you put into not only your homestead/farm but also your videos, thank you for sharing your stories!
well, you asked," what kind of a gardener/homesteader/farmer am I?" My reply to you sir is, one that i truly admire.
I can’t thank you enough for these videos. You are doing the things my daddy and I did when I was a child. He is gone now and I miss him so very much, I thank you for bringing back memories of what he and I did together. It truly brings tears of pain and joy. The pain because he’s gone and the joy of seeing him again through your videos. He was the most beautiful loving,patient, knowledgeable man I have ever known.
I wish that I could share your videos with everyone I know. You have far more going on in your content than I think you yourself even realize. I never thought that a ‘gardening’ video would bring me to tears… But the funny thing is its not just this video, it’s every one you have. It makes me wanna shake people and make them watch and scream, ‘This is what you need to see!’ Many prayers and blessings be poured upon you and your family. I thank you from the depths of my soul for you sharing of your experiences. Please keep them coming. You inspire me secondly only to the Good News. I thank you so much for sharing your insights… And this coming from a practically stay at home dad if two boys with barely enough time to keep the house in order. I have my plans too, and the good Lord willing, I’ll get to teach them what I was taught since my earliest memories. God bless you and yours.
Those Z71 are some good trucks.
what's the music playlist?

its called truck patch because of the size of the field. A normal field is squared but the truck patch is as big as a truck could drive on it.
