Sharing our passion for efficient, sustainable homesteading that brings the family together. 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.

From a viewers perspective: We learn from your mistakes and/or failure, and I am very grateful that you choose to share and show them so I can learn too. Thank you to you both for showing the honest side. Also, those bugs were gross. Sending support, love, and kindness from Lexington, Michigan, USA

It is amazing to me that the people that complain about you putting broccoli on your porch, are the same people that go and buy vegetables and fruits that come from countries that grow it in sewers. They have no idea what they are eating. I will take your broccoli on the porch any day of the week over the crap in the grocery stores. They are just envious and jealous. Keep doing what you’re doing. We love the videos.❤️❤️

Can we collectively make it trendy to put what growing zone you are in the description box? I follow so many gardening channels it’s hard to remember and keep them straight. We’re in zone 3/4 so I’d love to know if some of the varieties you’re growing are a realistic goal for us. Love your channel!

Im ngl your channel has singlehandedly made me dream of my own homestead. Every time I watch your channel I am inspired.

I currently live in a woman’s shelter and I am trying eucalyptus and radishes 😂.

Don’t worry about rude comments I am sure those people leave in a 6th floor and get the food delivered to their flat thinking everything is clean when they regurgitate shyte everyday without knowing !!! Keep up the good work you are amazing 🤩

For some people out there (like a couch specialists) throwing the butternut squash on the porch should be approved by the USDA...
You guys are awesome and a hard workers. GOD BLESS YOU AND BLESS YOUR FAMILY!!! GLORY TO GOD!!!

There are different types of flowers and herbs you can plant by squash and cucumbers to repel bugs organically.

I just found your channel a few weeks ago and so happy I did. You two are a breath of fresh air in the homestead world. I really enjoy your content, and your videos. 😍

Put a small cup of vinegar out near the raspberries and verify that the little worms are not fruit fly larva. If you catch fruit flies in the vinegar, put some traps out.

To get rid of the butter smell on your top lip, rub a little white vinegar or lemon juice on your top lip, then wash off with regular soap/cleanser.

To preserve thyme, you can simply cut bunches and freeze them. Pull out a few sprigs to add to dishes as you need it, then just remove the stems. Surprisingly, they keep their fresh picked flavor even when frozen. Not all herbs freeze well.

In South Korea they put paper underneath potatoes or sweet potatoes while they are drying them such as newspaper so they soak up the moist and they need some sort of air circulation turning fan on for some time near them might help and have a dehumidifier in the room and turn it on while drying crops you harvested drying them for a week might be enough😊

Try infusing some vinegar with raspberries. Then make some vinaigrette dressing for your garden or pasta salads. So delicious!!! I used blueberries and also tarragon for vinegar this year and they’re both a hit.

[elainemcgran]

Would love to know how you both met and what your childhood was like. You two are so good together 😊

[ioanagherman]

What a abundance in your garden, hard work paid off. God bless you guys, beautiful family inside and out.

A quote someone told me I've held on to is "if you are green you are growing and if you are ripe you are rotting". It's meant to be an ideology of trying new things and experiencing the growing pains along the way rather than doing the same thing over and over and thinking you know everything. If you're gonna explore new things it's important to acknowledge and learn from mistakes, honestly if you weren't showing any mistakes ever I don't think I'd trust it.

Put copper antennas on your property. No bugs and the yield is so much bigger. The fruit and vegetables grow BIG.

For Powdery Mildew: 1-2 Tbsps. of Baking Soda, a few drops of dish soap mixed into a gallon of water, spray and you'll never have mildew.

You might put your pesto in ziplocks, make it flat, and in the freezer.Then you can just break off as big bits as you need, and they are easy to stack in the freezer when they are flat, and you save a little time compared to using the ice cube thing!Good luck with everything!!! Love from Sweden❤

You can cook corn with leaves on especially baking keeps moist and extra sweet
