I was diagnosed with dairy allergy as a baby. The only dairy milk I could have was raw milk right out of the cow. Thankfully granddaddy still had couple milk cows from dairy farm days. Even now regular milk makes me break out in hives and have to have an epi shot. No cheese, ice cream , no dairy at all. I have to be careful what I eat out or at friends. Raw milk tastes so different and delicious. I always got it after grandmother separated the cream off or the milk after making the butter.

This is interesting. Can you still have raw milk? What’s the difference? For me, it’s in the processing and added vitamins that are sourced from corn in processed milk. I actually have a corn allergy instead of dairy, although I cannot tolerate most milk and many dairy products.

we butchered our first cow complete on property last year splitting it with another family that had never butchered. It was amazing and so fulfilling.. we are doing our second cow this weekend with a different family also learning. One of my favourites of doing it on property is you can utilise all of it..

I have been raising chickens for eggs for about a year now. I decided to look into what they do to eggs in the grocery store since I don't use those anymore. I was so shocked. I recommend looking it up you will be surprised. I am so glad I have my own eggs. We are about to start processing birds for meat for the very first time. If all goes well, we will hatch our own chicks and then use the roosters for meat birds and keep the girls for eggs. We have two different roosters so we have two little flocks I figure we can have next generation chickens and mix them later for a third generation.

It’s so lovely to see you as a family doing chores. Many animals to watch over but it looks so happy. Definitely the food we have in the markets have issues. I live in the city without much land, but what I have I am using it to the best of its ability. I grow food, not all. Have chickens for meat and some for eggs. No chemicals !!!

Love watching you Steivers! Your so right about what people are eating these days. I remember when my dad bought 5 acres of land in the Panhandle of Florida and said YOU CAN LIVE OFF THE LAND. Well we did till we were old enough to leave home. The 5 acres is still in the family but it's in an estate. Whether my sister and I fight for what belongs to us that's up in the air. The property was stolen from us by my brother who committed suicide and is buried on the property. So, maybe you see and understand my comment. In the State of Florida property can never be sold if a family member is buried on it. Anyhow, living on the farm we had a huge garden, milk cow and meat cows, chickens, goat's and my horse. What I learned as a teenager I still grow a garden. I Don have room for any animals if I did I would get some. I'm 65 yes old and I know how to run a farm. That has brver left me and I would love to have a farm again before I pass away. Who knows if it will ever happen. So, in the meantime I continue to grow a garden which I love. It's not a chore it's a passion. But, one thing I want to ask is DOES JEN EVER FREEZE DRY GREEN TOMATOES FOR FRIED GREEN TOMATOES?? I don't have a freeze fryer but I do put up green tomatoes after I batter them and put them in the freezer. Their good when fried but fresh is better.

Have you seen that Whole milk used to be 4%. Now it is 3.25%.

Started my first raised beds this week. Thanks for the inspiration. Nothing major but a start. Also have my first chickens and i expect eggs any day now.

Everything you spoke on is 100% correct ! I was raised in the country eating fresh chicken , working rabbit boxes , hunting quail , dove , butchering hogs , helping with stuffing sausage , prepping the meat for freezing , working in the gardens , etc, etc . I'm here to tell you , most people today have never tasted the pure flavor from home raised meats & poultry or wild game & fowl . It's incredible & so much healthy benefits bc there aren't an hormones or chemicals added or administered to them at any time. Everything was natural the way God intended it to be !! The food they were given was natural not fortified , vitamin enriched , nothing . So you got healthy meat animals & poultry. I miss my country life , but I am prepping and gardening the best I can on my property that's on the out skirts of the city . God bless y'all for all your tireless efforts to bring us the knowledge we need to be aware , to be prepared and to survive self sustainably. But always remember that it is through the awesome provision of the Lord Jesus Christ that were blessed with what we need. Thank you ! 😇🙏✝️🕊️♥️

A week ago I threw a green apple from the store out for a hungry doe and she wouldn't touch it! That dang apple is still sitting in the same place untouched. No other animal wanted it either. Hmmmmmmm......

I appreciate how you give solutions and bring up the dangers of store bought food. I have been lucky to have found someone to source duck eggs and raw milk. Thanks.

You can go to your local rancher and pay less for meat. You can have several people buy what you all agree in on a cow and the ranchers will butcher it and split up the meat for you. I would can it instead of freeze it, and it will save you space and it is in a jar ready to eat and you don't worry about your meat going bad when you lose power.

So true. Our food system is so messed up. As a (retired) beef and dairy farmer, I would love to sit, talk and further educate you about our dairy and beef industries. Scary stuff.

Fantastic video...along with the one on gardening...I think you are hitting your stride...you know how I know...your channel has become one of my favorites...great content...sweet...likable...humble folk who are sharing their passion...you have lots to be proud of.

We live in south Florida. We have an abundance of wild Tallapia. They are hard to catch without a cast net because they are plant eaters, so, typical baits don't work catching them.

Love it!! We raise broilers, pigs, hens and garden! Our beef and raw milk from from local farmers! This is still encouraging to me even because I’m ready to do more!

I am finally to the point i need no food from the store. YAY... I do not have a cow but I get raw milk locally A2. I have gone through 3 people now for milk but finally i am set with this farm and milk. I have chickens, Pigs and so on. Grow my own food. Gotta do it.

We buy beef raised by our neighbors just outside of town. We see them in the pasture and have "visiting " rights all the time. We see what they eat and how they are raised! Same with hogs. We have 7 chickens for egs and buy dressed huge chickens from the local Amish folks. We grow some foods, buy others from the farmers market that we know the people selling it raised it. I make our bread, rolls, cookies, etc. Yes it takes time and thought and a good sized freezer! But so worth it. Still trying other things but not all at once. Follow Stivers because they are commonsense people, not political, and have learned so much!

So important! I've been sharing this on my Facebook page every day! There are some of these things I can't do because my husband & I still work full time, but we're trying! We have a rabbit (right now just for Fertilizer, but as soon as my husband builds a hut, we're getting more), we have quail on the way (my husband LOVES quail eggs) & we're getting a couple chickens. We were both raised in the city, but we bought a house in the country 3 years ago. The only meat we've ate in the past 3 years is diet that he hunted for, because I refuse to buy the "meat" at grocery stores that's filled with who knows what. (But it is starting to get hard to keep things interesting for dinner so looking forward to chicken, quail, etc. 😂) Love the comment about quail "you can hide them anywhere" 😂

Awesome!! We started homesteading last year and 3 weeks ago got a milk cow! We love this lifestyle praise YAH!!

Your videos are always so encouraging! Thank you for sharing your experience and honesty. May God continue to bless you and your family. 🙏

Just started buying chicken and eggs from a local farmer. Had to give up eating beef. My digestive system began swelling and hurting. ALL THE BEEF. Just found a cattle farm where I can pick the cow for him to finish raising and processing for me. We'll see how that goes. NOT CHEAP! Our HOA just passed that we can have up to 10 chickens but no rooster. (too loud. lol) I do have a garden. Not on your level yet. I have 1 1/2 acres. I love quail. Even the eggs are delicious. LOVE all your videos. Have learned a lot in the last year.

We are not supposed to plant corn in the village limits . So plant mine behind the garage. Nobody is the wiser. 😊

Your homestead is so relaxing looking!❤️

We have raised rabbits, chickens, pigs, goats, and quail. We started with a few chickens, then we got goats, then we got the others. We get pigs as piglets and raise them up for the meat, hatch our own chickens (we butcher the extra roosters for the freezer), and this year we plan to butcher a few goats (wethers) and see how we like the meat. If we like it we may use it to replace the beef. I make mozzarella cheese, soap, and yogurt from the milk. I also started my own calendula flowers to make salve. Watching your channel made me realize i could do the salve and it was so simple. Calendula is awesome for my poison oak (highly allergic and can get it 2nd hand transfer).

Quail is a staple in our diet! So delicious. We raise to eat, to sell, ear the eggs hatch the eggs! Do sustainable!

I bought some hot house tomatoes and they looked ripe but when I cut into them they were still green.

You can also sell live rabbits for 15-20 bucks right now. Prices are going up. You don't even have to kill them and skin them. Just sell them. Also, you could feed your cats and dogs the rabbits. And you could use their poop for your garden or fruit trees, compost. Also, you can sell chicks for a pretty high price as well. You could even make a homemade incubator that works very well. Look it up on KZread. PVC chicken tractors. Very easy to move. Worm farm. If you sprinkle biochar into your composed it will not smell. And get one of those nice compose rings. These are things you could do with no one paying attention or even caring. Actually making things look nicer around your house.

Do You have a video on raising Quail ?? I looked, can't find one.

It is native to Mexico and can be caught in the ocean off the coast. I had a friend that used to go fishing every Thanksgiving and Christmas. He would give us fresh tilapia, swordfish, and shark.

We waited several years to move out to the farm my husband grew up on. No one was around us. 2 yrs after we moved here Mennonite families started coming into area. Our property joins with farm grounds that others offered for sal. The Mennonite put up a huge house huge machine shed , work building, and a massive building that holds…20,000 chickens laying eggs. Sad.

Tilapia is a type of cichlid that lives in big tropical lakes in the southern hemisphere. My ex-husband kept multiple tanks of cichlids and yeah, tropical fish. Your not catching them in any lakes around here.

We purchased a high tunnel this year and plan to get 6 hens next year. Corrupt local administration will only allow 6 and no roosters.

Go to farmers markets if you live in the city.

I have a business that provides soap, lotions, sugar scrubs, and bath salts. My favorite is goats milk caramel. My incubator produced 18 chicks, 5 ducks, and 3 buff geese. Hens go into the laying hotel and the roosters go to freezer camp. 😅❤

Zach, I hear you and agree wholeheartedly regarding the food and better to homestead and grow your own. But for,people,like me who live in a city and try to eat “clean”, how do we ensure that we purchase organic that’s really grown without chemicals etc..? I would love for someone like you to advise us city dwellers how and where we can get food that’s clean and healthy for us. You don’t know if it should be organic, grass fed, or whatever. I live in an HOA community and not allowed to grow food - not enough room on our property.

I’m in the country….our land is rated agricultural. BUT, we’re 73 and 76. Getting chickens/goats/cows isn’t possible. I’m growing veggies in GreenStalks and grow bags. I know for a fact that neither of us can kill a chicken! Nope Nope Nope! I’m growing lots of legumes for protein….we have a farm close by that sells their chickens and beef…..we’re on Medicare/savings and can’t afford that meat. So what do we do? It would cost a fortune to get chickens and a place for them to live…not to mention food. I’m not afraid to work but we’re not in the best of health…..what do you suggest??? Everything is SO expensive! Its frustrating! I agree with what you say for sure and if we were younger we’d have chickens….it’s all we can do to keep our garden producing! I’d give anything to have chickens and goats! We have enough poison ivy to keep the goats fed for years! Seriously, how can we do chickens or/and goats? I’ll listen to any ideas you have for me!!

I know, I can't process a chicken either. You might be able to swap say have some goats come and mow your poison ivy down for you. You're helping to feed them for that farmer maybe they could share some milk or some meat with you. Grow out chickens have someone else process them and pay them with chicken meat. Bartering can do wonders for homesteaders. Can you do a special Jam or jelly or making pies or anything like that? Do you make soaps just some ideas... keep watching and learning from Stivers, Off Grid with Doug & Stacy, David the Good, Living Traditions ect... listen and learn!!!

I would suggest sharing your land with someone who wants to grow their own and they don’t have the property. They could share the food with you.

Such a great video Blessings to ya'll

Wow Wyatt is growing

I grew up on wild meat and a backyard organic garden. When I started eating store bought stuff, 28 years ago, my health immediately started going down hill. Everything in the grocery store is suspect of poison for me.

Farm raised tilapia are fed a mashed corn mix. Does that sound like natural food for a fish?

We in Canada are not allowed to purchasraw milk .

I LOVE those barrels ❤ wish i had a bunch of them

The yogurt I am making requires ultra pasteurized half and half, to grow other strains not found today to heal our guts. I prefer raw milk which is $7.00 per quart delivered. Learning how to make cheese and accidentally made cream cheese making yogurt. 😂 So good.
