I’m Rob Torcellini and welcome to Bigelow Brook Farm! We’re about to start on a huge

new project and need your help to meet our goal.

  I have purchased two used 26’ wide greenhouses

totally nearly 200’ in length. My goal is to construct one aquaponic greenhouse and

have it functioning for the fall of 2016. Over the years, I have created hundreds of

free videos on YouTube and I will continue to produce these videos to help educate and

maybe even provide a little entertainment.  

However, these videos are very time consuming to produce. Depending on the complexity of

the editing and number of diagrams for each video, it can take between 1 to 2 hours of

post-production work per minute of completed footage. Typically it’s 5-8 hours of editing.

Even though our YouTube subscriptions and views continue to rise, the ad revenue continues

to dwindle.  

We’ve joined the crowd funding site Patreon to help raise funding to continue producing

videos and provide the needed revenue for the new aquaponic greenhouse. For a very small

pledge you can gain early viewing of our videos, access to our premium web site containing

spreadsheets, diagrams, and frequently asked questions, or have a permanent advertisement

embedded directly into a video which can’t be blocked, reaching 10’s of thousands of

targeted viewers.

The Patreon concept is very simple, you just pledge a small payment for each video that

we release. If it’s a slow month, no payment is made. If we produce a bunch of videos,

you have the ability of capping your total contributions per month.

  As always, our videos are still free to watch,

but with your support, you will gain access to additional insider knowledge about our

operation. Not only will I produce videos about the new greenhouse, but I will continue

to produce videos about the geodesic greenhouse and other farm activities.

  Thanks for your time and generosity over the

years and I look forward to sharing our new greenhouse experiences with you.
