A REAL Day in the Life of a Modern Homesteader

Ever wondered what a typical day in the life looks like for a modern homesteader? It might not quite be what you think.... ;)

Thanks for watching! Was a day in our life different than you expected?

[samanthameyer]

I have to admit you had me fooled until you started talking about breakfast lol

[suburbanyokel]

I actually didn't think you were joking ! I thought, "That is so magical ! " 😭

[TheFewellHomestead]

Oh my word, I started feeling very very inadequate and then I LOST IT when you were like "yeah no, that's not what we do". Yaasss! Thank you for this.

[josephhall]

LMAO, I thought you were serious there for a minute until you said "a 4 course breakfast every morning!" Doing chores by candle light sounded relaxing... Sounds like a great life!

[larahamilton]

That cow looked at you like "What is this crazy woman doing?" Love your channel. Thank you.

[themorenofamily]

Lol I first thought “oh dear, jill has spent too much time in 2020”...then the breakfast comments gave it away! Love your down to earth sensibility and sense of humor!

[learningandgrowing]

The idea of milking by candle light is so romantic but fire and all that straw bedding made me nervous! 😅😂

[cherrysullivan]

Cracking me up. Love it. And my wife has now been affirmed in her request for a blowtorch, previously denied by me. “If Jill Winger does it, then it’s ok for us!, ” she exclaimed.

[Hannahsunshine-]

I was legit about to leave when you said you make a two hour breakfast everyday 😂

[masquitaful]

That was a hilarious opening. Good job. I needed a laugh!

[Shadow_Trader_Troders]

I was so confused and thought you had gone crazy 🤣 that should have been your april fool's video!

[sandyoklahomatransient]

I giggled in the beginning because all your previous videos were way different than the beginning of this one. Typical homesteading/farming up early, work hard, family time, and in bed early to start the cycle over again.

[tamicraig]

Lol! You got me good in the beginning! I’m researching homesteading and reading a lot of things on it but your video was one of my first ones and I thought to myself...I’ll never make it! Lol

[deborahniemoth]

SWEET! The best part is seeing Dad coloring with Daughter.

[ahandmadehomestead]

Thanks for making my kids feel like “oh, okay. Maybe bed by 8:30 isn’t so bad”. 😂

[TsunamiKitten]

If people believe being on a "homestead" means waking up at 3am and milking a cow by candlelight I want to know where they got their info 🤣

[juliat]

I just kept thinking "Is she out of her mind? That candle is going to set the barn on fire!"

[naturalliash]

🤣 Jill! That beginning was hilarious! My jaw dropped when you said 4 course breakfast. Loved your video!

[alisonmaloy]

I love it. This is my favorite video you've ever made. I was laughing within the first 10 seconds when I saw you walk out of your bedroom with a lit candle. Lol!! :)

But seriously, I love how accessible you make this lifestyle - you are inclusive because you are transparent, you talk frequently about how those of us that don't have an acreage can still be modern homesteaders and enjoy this lifestyle, and you are REAL. What a breath of fresh air. Keep up the good work, Jill! You are such an inspiration to many.
