A MONUMENTAL Change Just Took Place!

In this video we show you behind the scenes of the School of Traditional Skills class shoot and talk about a major change for our homestead channel!
School of Traditional Skills: bit.ly/3zoFWy1
-------------------------------------------
Hi I'm Brian with Little Homestead - Big Dreams. If this is your first time here... welcome! I'm glad you're here! If you're a longtime friend, welcome back!!
For most of my life I was a city boy, gardening in the suburbs. I was the first generation in my family to not grow up on a farm and somehow it was still there inside me. So now my wife Emilie, son Noah and I have moved to a small farm (at least it will be) and we're documenting our journey on this channel. Building gardens and chicken coops, buying a dairy cow and who knows what else lies in store. But we can't wait to take you with us!

    How much I agree! I didn't notice the name change till you told it, I do remember California TV and was confused at the change, but I got over it! I too thought it was just for people in CA, but once I started watching I subscribed! You have so much to offer in both channels, and the new name is perfect to describe your dreams and efforts. Congratulations on another great shoot with the School of Traditional Skills - they don't have just anyone on there to represent them! 😊

I notice how many comments refer to it as their happy refuge. For some reason, I find myself often visiting your videos in late evening. It is a great way to close the day, especially if the day has been difficult. Thank you for letting us share the dream.

No matter how bad of a day I'm having, just watching you, Emilie, Noah and all the precious, sweet babies you have makes me smile and makes me feel so much better!! I don't think yall know just how much yall mean to me and how much I love yall...you have taught me so much and I appreciate yall more that you'll ever know. Since October, 2023 I have become partially disabled and on those days when I want to just give up, your channel has encouraged me to fight through the pain, keep my balance as best I can and plant my little garden. I have to garden sitting in a chair because I can't get around like I used to, but you have been my "push" that gets me through. Love yall!!!!

    I certainly understand what you are saying. I'm recovering from several fractures in my vertebrae. I can't do some simple tasks like I used to do. Sometimes I just want to quit because I get so frustrated. Then I watch these videos and they encourage me to keep going no matter how much pain I'm in. God bless you, keep doing as much as you can. Remember if you don't use it you loose it. My garden is my physical therapist and my psychologist all in one. Have a great gardening day.

    "No garden is ever complete." Perfectly said. The new name feels really comfortable and inspiring and also kinda sweet. And completely appropriate. I'm one of the folks that remembers watching the tomato videos on California Garden Tv and getting hooked. I think the new moniker is great and hope it helps attract like-minded, kind individuals thirsty to learn and share and enjoy your company. Best of luck.

    I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE NAME CHANGE. I've been following you now for over 4 years Brian. You are my inspiration for my little tiny garden next to the pool in my backyard here in suburban Fullerton. I have turned on my daughter to your channel as we have helped her buy 4 acres up in Greenwood, CA. about an hour east of Sacramento. She is working on fencing the property now. The property came with a barn, a chicken coop and a goat house. We have plans. She is going to parcel an acre off from that land and we are going to build on it. The land already came with a fenced in garden area because deer come by every day. Your dream is our dream. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge. XOXOXO 🥰🥰

And I think that many of us who came over from NLG, just felt that NLH was an extension of the other channel, an easy way for you to "guide us" to the new channel. If you had started this channel with this name, I don't know how soon I would have found it.

Raised on a farm but live in town. But I love your videos, I always learn something, especially for veggies, but flowering plants as well. The ONLY thing I would add is if you mention any differences for more Midwestern areas, kind of like, "by the way"! I'm in MN so any of that would be great. Love those dang cute O & O - seriously jealous. And moo cow and pup are very entertaining as well. Easy to tell you love them! Enjoy and prosper!!!

    Snakes! I lived in rural Lake Mathews for 18 years. I also raised parrots in outdoor aviaries. Mice were attracted to the seed that fell to the ground, and of course, snakes and roadrunners were attracted to the mice. I used to joke that I had the top snake real estate in Lake Mathews. Fortunately, I like snakes. When the weather was warm, I would see one to two on average every day. Most were California king snakes. They're not very friendly, but they're sure pretty. I also had Rosy Boas, gopher, garter, coachwhips, and during that time frame, I was aware of five rattlesnakes in my yard. 5 in 18 years is not too bad. As long as you keep your Pathways clear of brush and you are snake aware when the weather is warm, you should be fine. Embrace the nature around you! 😊

    The new channel name is a PERFECT description of what your channel represents. I love how all the animals follow you around but, yes, Daisy chasing me would be intimidating. She looks so different without her fluffy winter coat. I don't think you could put out a video that is too short nor too long - we will watch them all! Can't wait to see the cottage and veggie gardens finished(ish). Note on snakes: we have both king and black snakes here in NC. We like them because they eat copperheads. I've heard you can also use them to train your dog to stay away from all snake (since they are nonaggressive and nonvenomous) but I don't know the proper method (I need to find someone smarter than me for this).

    I like the new name. We have a lot of black snakes around our house and yard , they use to winter in our basement, I had to put a stop to that, but we don’t have any mice

    Love the show, no matter what the name. I followed you over from Next Level Gardening (maybe even from California Gardening). I do like the new name. I don't have a homestead. I am a senior who, in 2020, retired and found a home with a backyard. Now I have a vegetable garden again. And many flowers and herbs (companion plants throughout. Yes, from your book) 😊 Thanks for all your knowledge, help, and entertainment.

    Hey my dear.. I didn't realize what Utube was until the summer of 2022... & man, do I wish I had known all the gardening stuff I've learned from you and a number of others > people I have come to realize we watch in common.. & others.. all of you inclusive & knowledgeable (I don't watch many if they aren't) So.. long as you let us know where you are "going" I'm sure we will all follow.. & love.. I'm zone 5, southern Ontario.. so we are now into spring where many things like tomatoes, broccoli, full size onions, etc in.. peppers will need covering cuz it can be down to 9/10°C (48-50°F) and with the weather change next week ~ too early for cuts, without protection.. But.. my peas & potatoes, lettuce, kale & half my full size onions that I've been planting over the last 6 weeks ate doing Amazing.. all thanks to a little knowledge gained from you & a few others.. Saw my 1st pea flower today.. & I'm sure many will follow.. ❤ thank U !!! Old dogs can learn new tricks apparently.. 😉

    i used to have a cal king snake. they are awesome. i never care about names and labels but it seems to me that your new name is more descriptive of what you are about so i think it is a good move. people underestimate how much you can produce in one acre of land. i produce 90% of what i eat and have extra to sell and give away. love your critters 🙂

    I love the new name. It's spot on for me since I am on a standard city lot here in San Diego. It's mine free and clear. I started my retirement garden 4 1/2 years ago and I've expanded my garden year after year, little by little. It took me a bit of time but after passing on some advise from Brian ;-) my husband said yes to turning our front yard into garden space. It gets the best sun on our property and the summer of a poor tomato harvest helped convince him also. (Thanks Brian 😊). ~ Rhonda

I have been at this on my 15 acres for 18 years and am still seeking out folks like you for ideas and help. Congratulations on the filming, the new name, embracing King Snakes and farm livestock discipline :0) What a week.

    Great new name, I definitely agree it’s more reflective and descriptive of your homestead and channel. I look forward to watching the videos of all the finishes you talked about doing, and I’ll bet you’ll feel much happier about having all those little things completed that make things look finished. Then you are free to focus on the next things, like the Orchard and the formal English garden!

Next Level was never my favorite, either, but I’m generally a person to like more than not so I really do like the new name. It really does fit better. Your friend/relative was right about that last name. Congrats!🎈🎊🍾🎉

    I love the new title it fits perfectly. Your fur babies are all looking very at home these days. Daisy has lost all her winter, fluffy fur. She now looks like a mini cow. ❤ my husband has built a tomato trellis and we’re waiting for our tomato hooks to arrive. Thank you so much for such great information. Will you be shearing the lambs when they’re older? They’re adorable.

    Oh! Brian a California king AWSOME! ME and my husband saved one that got tangled up in our bird netting that I had over our peach tree. Yes we saved it! By cutting the netting off its whole body because they are a good and beautiful snake to have on your property. They kill and eat rattlesnakes.
