About OFF GRID with DOUG and Stacy
In 2010 we decided to sell everything and build a log cabin on 11 acres. We have lived in the log cabin for a decade now with no solar power or wind power plus zero public utilities. We live like the pioneers except in the 21st century. We post videos on social media to encourage people to return to the land and make a living with your family. We teach folks:
*Off grid living *Rain water catchment *Cooking with wood
*Food growing *Cooking from scratch *Raised bed gardening
*Food harvesting *fermenting the harvest *food preservation
*Holistic Remedies like Grandma made *How to make money and live this life
*storing food in a root cellar *DIY Build projects
*Animal Husbandry *Raising Chickens, Guinea, Turkeys and Ducks
All of our videos are made to empower you to break free and LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE!

It’s been amazing to watch your place go from building the cabin to a full on homestead with animals and food💚

[danradtke]

Although the cabin build was interesting it's nice to see the homesteading life once again. I too hate to see the end of the garden season. ☹️

We grew sweet potato in containers this year for the first time, we are in Northern Minnesota zone 3.
Everytime I collected greens for salads, I grabbed a few sweet potato leaves to add in fresh. I even dried some for my green powder this winter.
Love, love, love homesteading

I had no idea that you can eat a lot of the greens off all kinds of vegetables, I find it amazing and interesting, thank you for the information. I am always learning off the homesteaders in America and here at home (England).

I never knew about eating sweet potato greens, we had a light frost last night but my sweet potatoes were covered I noticed some leaf "wilt" despite the cover, and tonight another 30* night so tomorrow I guess I must dump them and see how many we got. They have been growing in 35gal barrels cut in half. I have had beautiful greens all summer and nothing seemed to bother them so I'm hoping for a good harvest. I was only able to get the orange (forget the exact name) I would love to find the purple ones for next year. As a cancer survivor I look for purple carrots, purple regular potatoes, the darker the color the better for you, at least that is what I was learning. Thank you for sharing your garden

I loved this video! We had beans and greens for dinner last night and our greens were sweet potato vine and kale. I save the stems in water and eat leaves all winter.

[patfiumani]

Finely got to see you and your garden, I have missed that... loved the look of the Molokai sweet potato, such a Beautiful color, I have never eaten one... I have never had any greens of the sweet potatoes, they look delicious... I have missed you and your Beautiful garden... Thank you for sharing Stacy...

Philippines: we love these Camote tops almost everyday in everything. Soups like sinigang and just simply steam with fried fish. Delish

[bonniedobbs]

Love you Stacy & love seeing Molly help you harvest your sweet potatoes. Great video.

[mistystewart]

I had no idea you could eat the greens! My son sure does love sweet potato flatbread, been making it ever since I watched your video a few years ago.

[carolm]

Greetings! Awww....the sheep are so Beautiful! The praying mantis is Amazing cause it puts it’s hands together and Prays!😁🥰. Molly is so Adorable and is a good helper!😁. Keep safe and warm! God Bless you, family, friends and your followers!

[rainey]

I didn't know any of these lil nuggets of knowledge! That's why I love watching you guys. Such a insperation! 💜💛💜💛

[Taking_Back_Thyme]

Any sweet potato is a great sweet potato.

[TheWonderwy]

My mom used to say she was "going to play in the dirt", when she would work in the garden. She loved to get her hands into the soil and get dirt under her fingernails. I sure miss her.
Good golly Miss Molly! What a dirty face! She looked like she had as much fun digging in the dirt as you. Did she get the mouse? Well if not today, she will another. She is nothing if not persistent in the hunt.
Good info on the sweet potatoes. You told us years ago that the greens were good for us. Some of us, (like me) just started a few months ago going through the older videos. I have to say it is worth every minute ! Such a wealth of information and shared knowledge from you and Doug.
Thank you, Stacy.

[stansnider]

Try baking them and then put butter, honey, & cinnamon on them you will love it trust me

[theheritagehousesc]

Nice harvest! Add some garlic to the greens or sautéed onions red or yellow for extra flavor.

[culdesacgrocerygarden]

I loved this so much, thank you for the 11th hour garden tour. I can totally relate to the melancholy, it was sweet watching you say goodbye. Im also really happy to see a sweet potato update: PROOF that slips started indoors in jars works! We eat them almost every day and I love the leaves and vines so much that I am getting ready to start some indoors in jars just for eating the winter leaves. I cook them just like you do, sautéed in ghee as a side to over medium eggs. Yummy

I know this video is almost a year old but I want you to know I watch many of your videos over and over again and enjoy them all. They are entertaining and very educational, too. My grandmother raised my siblings and me in the 1950's and we lived in a little town called Salida, Colorado. Even though it was bitter cold during the winters, it was till the best time of my life. We raised our own vegetables and poultry for food. We went fishing in the Arkansas River and Brown's Creek for trout, sucker and catfish every week during good weather to supplement our diet. I grew up eating kale, collard, beet, mustard, sweet potato and spinach greens, and I am sure there are a few more that I do not remember. If it was edible, my grandma cooked it and ate it. We also grew a variety of flowers that we ate in our salads and we thought that was a lot of fun to eat them.
Watching your videos are so much fun and take me back to the days of my youth. We had two water pumps, one in the kitchen and one in the yard for watering the garden and the chickens, ducks, turkeys, etc. and it produced the most wonderful and super cold water even in summer. A wood stove in the kitchen, a root cellar that grandma and my older sister and I dug out under the house. And an outhouse with the pages of the Woolworth, Penney or Sears catalogs to use as needed. We walked everywhere and only went to the market when we needed things we could not make or grow ourselves. Nothing was wasted. I am in my mid-seventies now and I still miss the simplicity of life then. Both you and Doug are so blessed in your lifestyle choice. Lots of hard work I know, but the health and lifestyle benefits are so well worth it. Keep your videos coming and I'll continue to keep watching. Bless you both.

Loved this video. It’s always fun to see Stacy in the garden and in the kitchen. Of course, I love seeing the sheep. Looks like you’re going to have lots of lambs on your farm. I saw Rambo in with the ewes. 🐑

[lifeofwonderment]

I grew the purple sweet potatoes this year. They went crazy here in Texas. I like them as hashbrowns with my peppers and onions. They are definitely starchy like a potato and not as sweet as an orange sweet potato. Been sharing them with family and friends.
