We want to share our passion for efficient, sustainable homesteading that brings the family together. On our homestead we do chemical-free gardening, grass-fed milk and beef, pastured eggs and broiler chickens, and free range children :) We love to go on adventures as a family, so if we're not workin on the farm, we're probably hiking or out getting ice cream. We're all into DIY, and being inventive and creative. We believe in homesteading that's sustainable, not just sustainable homesteading. In other words, we want to show you that homesteading doesn't have to wear you out to the point that you give it up. We've seen it happen, and almost came to that point ourselves. So go ahead and take a whack at that subscribe button if you'd like to join us on this crazy ride. Get ready to learn and be inspired!

As someone who has already started a farm (20 years ago), I am grateful that you show how much hard work is actually involved in homesteading. It is a very satisfying life, but also a treadmill- you just can´t stop if you have gardens and animals. I also appreciate your showing how you are constantly improving the system in order to reduce the work load...

If you want to harvest some carrot seeds you need to leave them in the ground all winter, the second year is when they go to seed, and you can get thousands and thousands of seeds from just a few going to seed.

The number one failing point for homesteaders is all the hard work. It’s never what you expect and it never ends.

You two have quickly moved to the top of my list of You Tubers. Always such good, informative content .

Hi, new subbie and fellow Ohioian here! Homesteading is my dream, however, my husband and teen son aren't about that life but for me it's a LIVING ESSENTIAL. Much love and support for a hardworking rockstar homesteading family! ❤🤩❤️

I am an upcoming African farmer from Kenya. I love your videos ❤🎉

My brother had a pellet stove and the motor/ auger broke and couldn't get a replacement for weeks. It was useless and had to use space heaters. Then the power went out for 3 days. They had to stay in a hotel since they have 3 babies. He ended taking it out and putting in a regular wood stove. They're great when they work but a wood stove will always work, if you have wood.😊

The bees need the honey to survive the winter.... It's their food. If you want to keep them alive you let them have their honey or feed them sugar water.

For your livestock water tank. They heater that uses wood and sits in a steel tank. My my uncle used it for his cows and sheep.
It's a cast iron.

Just. Discovered your channel and love watching. Homesteaders, like farmers, dont get days off. The two of you, and your kids, put in an astounding amount of work! I listened to you talking about vanilla but couldnt catch the brand. Also, i watched a lady gardening in her back yard showing h I w she used bridal tulle fabric around her gardening containers and bed. Rodents and other critters HATE it! Could you rig it under your bee hives? Keep up the good work. Love, love watching your seasonal growing ❤

Yess.... Yessss... I am really happy that you guys got sponsored

For heat, I recommend a rocket mass heater. Very little fuel, perfect heat transfer, multi-purposed if hooked to hot water and used for oven cooking or drying things. The open-source plans from Oxalis estimate the cost from new components at 3200 euro, but people have done mass heaters with mud bricks, so you can make it much cheaply.

So inspiring to see a young couple doing this.. the way you guys live is how we ALL should live. ❤❤

[wurzelwerk]

I enjoy watching your videos sooo much! You put alot of effort into filming! Combined with how interesting it is to see how you solve problems and do things on your homestead - and voila, one of the best homesteading channels on YT! 🙌

The other things about your videos is that they provide a healthy dose of realistic education. My parents finished dairy farming before I was born and I grew up with an unrealistic nostagia about it all. However, it doesn't stop me doing veg growing in my garden and experiencing small highs and lows.

[MissysandJasonCountryRoad]

I’ve found your videos and binge watching since ❤

[Just-Nikki]

Watching your young family homesteading makes my heart happy. Have a blessed weekend.

you can winter the carrots in the ground if you put straw, old hay, or even stacks of leaves and they will be fine and good to go and harvest during the entire winter.
