Glad this was helpful! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the tour. We have 16 acres with 10 acres of pasture, 3 acres of forest and 3 acres of yard. We have 3 milk cows and 4 beef yearlings plus laying hens. It is amazing how much food we can raise on such a small piece of land. We are planning on putting in a .5 acre berry orchard and running our meat bird chicken tractors through the orchard.

That sounds like an awesome property! Great idea with the berries and chickens - that works so well for us! All the best!

I enjoyed the tour of your homestead. You have a lot going for you on a great piece of land! I only have 1/2 acre so I only have a few chickens and my garden but I'm content with it. Thanks for the tour!

Sounds like you have quite a bit going too! So much is possible even on a 1/2 acre! Minus the cows, we probably do the rest of what we do on about that much land. Thanks for watching and happy homesteading!

All the wonderful things you have going for you make me so happy. I'm sure your life isn't perfect, but looks like you are very blessed. You seem like salt of the earth, so it's so nice to see so many of your blessings.

We feel very blessed! Like you said, there are still hard things for sure but we are very grateful! Thanks for watching! ❤️

Thank you for this! How did you change over your 3.5 acres of hay into pasture for the cow?

We've added organic seed from Albert Lea Seed and then just grazing them and moving daily has really enhanced the pasture! Let us know if you have any more questions! Thanks for watching!

You’ve done an amazing job. Beautiful property. Well done! Val C

Thank you for your effort to make such a useful video. If I may suggest something - it would be very helpful to see that map which is only a front picture of the film. It will really help to understand some minor but still crucial layouts of your homestead. Anyway it was great to see thoughtful couple ❤ which shares their knowledge to help others. 🎉

Appreciate the comment! We did put the map in there for a bit at about 1:15 - kzread.info/dash/bejne/ppurzrJwe87ZhLQ.html If you want to dig in a little deeper into the map and some other layout tips we have a blog post that breaks it down more - fromscratchfarmstead.com/homestead-layout/ Thanks for watching!

So sorry - I must have gone away for a few seconds and I comoletely lost that bit. Thanks a lot ❤ for help.

Are you selling raw milk? In Illinois it is permitted to sell raw milk for human consumption. I buy mine in Indiana and there it can only be sold for pets.

Nope, we don't sell it! We consume the bulk of it and share the rest with family and friends. Thanks for watching!
