Self Sufficiency on 1/2 Acre - Let Me Introduce Myself

Welcome to my homesteading, and gardening channel! We are self sufficient on small acreage and love to teach organic gardening and homesteading on small acreage and want to share with you how we do it. It CAN BE DONE on as little as 1/2 acre! I hope to inspire and teach you the best gardening practices I have learned over my lifetime and help you have success and less frustration. Join me in learning organic practices in the garden and on the little farm! Organic gardening practices, intensely planting fruits and vegetables, raising chickens for eggs and meat and dairy goats are all a part of our daily lives to be more self sufficient.

I also write a blog geared for our zone 8, which I would love to write more often, but life is busy! however, you may find some good resources here.

Our CSA, where we provide food for families on a weekly basis and we also donate a portion of our produce to Elders or Someone in need in our community to provide healthy fresh organic veggies.

This woman and her family are amazing. This is truly an oasis in the desert. I have been privileged to take classes here and loved every minute of them. I could just sit and dream here (and glean here) for hours. Thanks for sharing Ali, Kevin, daughters and Grandkids. So fun.

I'm from NYC, and recently, we brought a house with a tiny piece of land on the outskirts of the city. Started with tomatoes, grapes, strawberries, and blueberries. We recently added raspberries, lemon, cilantro, and eggplants. Thank you for sharing. Found your channel this morning. God sent and inspiring. You can feel Gods presence in your videos and space. God Bless 🪴🫶🏼💛🙏

Ali, your story brought me to tears when you said “this land that God graciously allowed us to be caretakers of and dwell on.” My hope and prayer is for God to show us land that we too can homestead on for our family and the community. We are currently renting, and we have enough space to garden and raise egg layers. Although I have planted small gardens for several years, I am very much a novice, but my dream is the same as yours. Thank you for sharing what you do. It was an encouragement to me today.

I love how not only is your homestead functional and essential but it is absolutely gorgeous as well. I look forward to binge watching your videos for tips and tricks.

God bless.

Self sufficiency was how this nation was built up, not dependency on governmental bodies.

I'm a 90 % autonomous farmer on 10 acres in the south of France. Your video is legit.
First time I see that on YouTube.
Great respect.
bless you

Very inspiring and beautiful! I live in Colorado Springs, and it makes gardening very challenging due to our labile weather swings. But I can do all things through CHRIST who strengthens me. GOD bless you Ali and your beautiful and blessed family.

Ali, what a beautiful life you have! I love that you said "lots of flowers for the soul". I'm a beginner for gardening. I just got a fenced in garden with 140 sqft of planting beds. I want to grow a mix of vegetables, flowers and herbs. Today I did my first planting in this garden, and it's 50 cloves of garlic. I did it following your wonderful garlic video! Thank you very much!

Yah has blessed the work of your hands. May he ever bless you and yours

This has been the best gardening video I've watched in a long time . When children are taught life skills early you can be assured that their future is set and productive. Thanks for sharing.
