Ben, never apologize for how your home looks. We are guests and appreciate you letting us visit. Love your channel.

There's an old saying my mom used to say, you came to visit me, not my house if you don't like it there's the door. My feelings have always been a house is a lived in house, not a museum. Where everything is spotless, and uncomfortable to be in.
i love your house! Y'all are busy canning, cooking, preserving, food saving, harvesting, taking care of family, and getting ready for a class.

Life is good!!!

Buggy is getting so big, such a joy to watch children in the garden. Thank you for sharing your family with us.

I did a giggle when you apologized for the untidy house - really? - so you are a family of 8 living in a two bedroom home, who homestead and cook all their own food, you are cooking, curing bacon and getting ready for the final harvest of the year and lets not forget you have a pig butchering workshop to get ready for. - in my house when we are that busy, if the dishes are done and the floors sweep then we call it good

Excuse the mess 😳❓❓. That is one heck of a PRODUCTION KITCHEN 🤩🤩🤩
You guys are ahhsum 😉👵🏻❣️

[andrewhammill]

Dude! Take them hot peppers and make some hot sauce. Even if it's too much for you guys, someone might want it. I'm thinking easy Christmas gift.

[marcellacruser]

Looks like a kitchen in full preservation season mode to me. If there's a way to do that neatly, I've never seen it. 😁 Add an infant and classes to that, the fact that you have more than paths is a near miracle.

That little Buggy is just so darn cute. Bye, bye, Bye

[StoneKathryn]

There is NO MESS I see Ben! Yay, bacon! I'm glad that you didn't lose your bacon with the hurricane. So you had to hot smoke it. It does look really dark but I bet it's delicious! I'm so glad Jack is helping you put it away. Jack did a great job! Yum, render the bacon scraps! Yum! BLTs! So cold smoke is a little better for doing your bacon. Nice, wild black cherry is a great wood to smoke with and you used some green wood too! These are wonderful tips that you're giving us! Yum, home grown tomatoes with homegrown pig, home made mayonaise, and home baked bread! Too bad you had a surprise frost. I'm glad you were still able to get some peppers after they all got blown down in the hurricane. Tyler, good for you helping put the sides down on the greenhouse. Good harvest all summer guys for deciding that you weren't going to have a garden because of the baby! You guys did terrific! Take a bow! Thanks for this video Hollar family!

I've been having a stressful time lately with lots of mental load. Today is the first day that I decided to stop rotting and do something. Got up, went to the gym, came home, made breakfast and decided to watch some YT while eating. Opened the app and saw your faces and my first thought was 'Oh look, it's the people that make my heart happy.' And I felt like you should know that. Thank you for making my heart happy ❤

[lggal]

I’m in Northern Nevada and we just had our first day of frost too. I love bacon 🥓!

[cathysturnnow]

Just wanted say thank you for sharing a little part of your lives... You can see and feel the love you all have for each other.. And wow Buggie has changed she looks so grown up now.. must be the good living

[themotherload]

Nice to see your family doing well! Lets be honest there is never enough bacon 😜 Take Good Care 🥂

[debireed]

Those hunks would be wonderful for a Hungarian meal my cousins used to make. Thin sliced sourdough bread covered with thin slices of radishes and green onions…then get the bonfire going. Hold hunks of the fat over the fire like a marshmallow…when it starts to drip…those drips are allowed to drip over your slice of bread and veggies. Sounds crazy.. but the salty savory fat turns the bread/ veggies slices into a delicious treat. Glass of wine goes great with it. And it’s fun.

[patriotmama]

Never apologize about your house. All that is done in that house is made with love. My house is a wreck most of the summer starting w/my beet harvest in early May and I am still canning tomatoes. Then we will butcher hogs in the late fall. If people don't like the way my house looks, they are not friends/family. All of our family and friends know that we actually live and love in our house and that is the way we feel about y'all. We are family even though we have never met. Great video! Oh, and I like "wiggly bacon". 😃

[metalmartha]

thanks for the meal idea! That’s what we’re having for supper tonight 🍂🫶♥️Even if the peppers are too spicy, why not pick them and feed them to the chickens? it raises their internal body temperature and helps them produce eggs throughout cold months. We had our first hard frost a week ago in Saskatchewan Canada. we are slated to get snow on Tuesday. I’m ready for it🤭🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

[erikas]

Just had my breakfast but I would love to have BLT😊. Good morning from Oz🦘🐨

[JanaTernonva-mx]

[sheliajones]
