Thanks Dean for another great video and for involving Jessica in the show. Hope to involve the kids as well.
Would you please publish the final blueprint for the greenhouse and link it here.
I believe you are moving forward and hope to see your large Establishment/ Company soon.
I don’t think I’ve heard you talk about membership in any of your videos. Just now seeing it on your page 😮 partner with CP for a freeze dried subscription bundle delivered monthly? Passive prepping and the Cadillac of freeze dried nutrients delivered right to your door 😏😍
Thanks for everything your doing. Vegen Beacon I'm still laughing
I bet Normalcy Norman dropped some magic herbal seeds in that greenhouse
All the best in your success 🙏.
I'll be watching to see what happens with the smoothies. If it helps, I have had a bit of customer feedback about them in terms of the packaging. Mainly asking if there is the option of purchasing them in containers with a scoop for serving size (or even the amnt of each serving size listed per 250ml of water on the label). Loving the content on this channel, love putting the podcast on when I am doing other things so that I can keep up with you while I keep up with my to-do list!
With all the things you do at the homestead i dont know how you keep up with these videos. We appreciate you, keep up the great work.
I'm so looking forward to where this channel is going! These kinds of skills are so valuable. Thanks again, Dean!
I see Nate video….u right fresch meat from Norman he he I'm waiting for new generations video. Take care 👍
Proving the concept to fruition. Nice.
Real down to earth videos! Thank you!
Grow some insect eating plants like pitchers to help control insects.
So, just found recently and am looking through things, I will ask however is if you have greenhouse plans that can be printed? Asking mostly because I'm hoping to be able to make something if I can afford it in the next year or two.

Wow..going to other topics is a good thing .since you like to build maybe building greenhouses with scrap n free items? Lol I typed this as you were saying building small houses but using compost to heat the greenhouse etc..your stuff is excellent keep going!!
I love watching your content, and I think your wife's future videos would add great value to your videos
Ur gonna do well here. Glad to be an early follower.
Hi Bro 😎 really great video!! Would love to be in contact with you sometime and talk about our 2 channel and the amazing impact they are having in the future of food production in the future with our Greenhouses your in Canada and ours in Mongolia. We would like to recommend you channel to our subscribers as I think it would be great for them. Could we talk more?
I’ve referred Arkopia to several other YT channels regarding your greenhouse design. Smart to develop your local feeder market and support for backyard under 100sq.ft. Greenhouses.
If people do build greenhouses based on your design, that in itself is the big win for yourself and the Arkopia brand name.
We’re looking forward to where your taking this channel. It’s always good to learn new things, especially when it comes to improving one’s life. 👍🏻 Your videos are never a waste of time. ❤
Arkopia videos are among the best prepper videos for deep thinkers imo. Regarding the smoothies, I tried one and put the rest away, for the future, if there is a future. Take care.
Oh man! It would be awesome if you could go get a tour of the greenhouses that copied your design, perhaps even follow their builds.
Looking forward to learning even more stuff from Mrs. Arkopia. When you will be covering an educational topic that mentions a piece of equipment you had constructed, I hope you will put a link in the description to any prior video about that equipment. Would help with the sifting, thanks!
Arkopia – A way of life, not just a smoothie….
I came across your channel searching for cold climate greenhouse as we just bought 35 acres of Colorado mountain top. It has been refreshing to come across another with a similar mindset. Subbed here and then found you on Spotify. Thank you for all you do! Smoothies are awesome 👌😋
Awesome video, your content is superb!
Thank Dean for taking the time to share all of your valuable information! It is priceless info for sure. I too would like to build a smaller version of your greenhouse. I have property in north Idaho. It is southern facing and almost the same attitude as yours but I'm wondering if it would work well because I only have an average of 174 sunny days a year compared to your 322? My property has a lot of slope so I was also wondering if you see any problems with doing a walk out basement configuration, greenhouse under with living quarters above? If you start doing consultations sign me up!!! I would gladly pay for some consultation time. So much easier and faster learning from someone who has done it. Thanks again for taking time out of your busy schedule to teach the rest of us. You are a good man.
Hi Dean – definitely looking forward to seeing your wife’s methods for sourdough bread and food preservation. Also any gardening tips because we are in the same growing zone. I have been gardening all my life, but still look for tips and tricks. I wasn’t able to build a greenhouse like yours but I was able to get a 30×40 green house and am looking at ways to double layer it so that I can extend the growing season, also possibly heat it. I also have 3 smaller 10 x 20 greenhouses where I start plants in April, I heat these ones at night to keep the temp above freezing using a poly-tunnel inside for the plants to stay heated. As you said – I can have these types of greenhouses without increasing my property taxes. Being on a small pension limits some of the things I can do, but always looking for things that are within my possibilities. In a good year we are able to grow 5-6,000 lbs of food – much of it gets donated to our local rural food bank as they are struggling to help people in our community. We have a freeze dryer so I’m also busy preparing for long term – all suggestions there are welcome too. Looking forward to your new videos with a new focus
Do you live close to CP? I appreciate all you do for us
My son who lives in southern CA was here for Thanksgiving. He was so excited to share with us that he is now making sourdough bread with a starter. I shared with him that years ago I was using a hundred year old starter making bread and cakes. Please share recipes. I would love to get started with this again. One thing COVID did for me, is it made me hate shopping at a store. I love your channel. It is right up my alley. 😊
Rumble and Odessy have a tip/rumble rant option for sure in the livestreams, and maybe the reg videos as well, so while you may not get monetization as far as direct payment from them for # views/subs etc. thats a potential option. As far as the freeze dried food, idk if this is helpful or not, but maybe instead of selling it as a smoothie powder, selling it as tablets, like Spirulina/Chlorella? People are more accustomed to paying more $/lb for that type of material than they would for a smoothie, i'm thinking, but not being in the biz, there's prob all kinds of govt red tape, but hopefully not. Looking forward to more vids.
Wonderful!❤
