G'day Everyone, by CRIKEY we had a lot of fun at Hosanna Farm Stay (talking about acreage envy lol...) www.hosannafarmstay.com.au/ I have uploaded one extra clip on my second channel already you can see it here kzread.info/dash/bejne/gKGgwcNpltLMcrw.html it's about pigs. I will upload all of the extra footage from our stay at Hosanna over the next several days to Self Sufficient Me 2. Thanks for your support! Cheers :)

Great video Mark, looks like you had a brilliant time (much deserved). What the Hosanna Farm stay has constructed is actually a life time ambition of mine and has been since I was a little boy , there's nothing like that here in UK so maybe one day ;)

That looks like such a cool way to spend a weekend and get the kids to turn off the phones and tune in to nature.

my parents are the ones on their phones all the time

My Dad moved our family to the country when I was 7 and I learned to love it. I spent my summers Hiking threw the woods and finding stuff under rocks while my siblings found every reason to hate it. They would start their bickering and fighting and I would just disappear into the woods or, to the middle of the hay ring to pet the horses while they munched away.

Well not everyone is made for this live.

I just bought 20 acres near Melbourne, to move my family to, after 20 years working in Asia. Can’t wait to do all this.

@@emylytle5409 u can buy 20 acres for less than 90 grand but is out in the desert. Because of people moving from the cities because of our lockdown laws it’s getting unreachable for most now. I was lucky Covid put my house into a stupid high price bracket so we took advantage and sold.

One of my favorite videos of the last 5 years. Due to the many well-documented small pieces of footage and the understandable explanations. One can truly feel the symbiosis of silence and a relaxing atmosphere on the farm. Slow lifestyle is the best time of all times.

It looks like a great little place to get away from the daily stress from whatever gets to you!

Great Weekend Mark, so glad Kim & I were able to tag along. It was fantastic.

Thanks mate for you guys joining us! And thank you for being the "stuntman" for the trip - you are a champ! Cheers :)

It is only a matter of months before we leave the suburbs and find a decent size property or land. I know what is happening and what is yet to come, all planned. Cheers Mark for all your videos and efforts, it will help many people in the times ahead. 👍

This video hit me on a spiritual level and reminded me of the possibilities, so thank you for that. It all looks amazing and it certainly comes through in the video. Amazing. Aren't we all blessed!

SERIOUSLY Mark this is my back yard. welcome!! So happy to hear you enjoyed yourselves we love it down here, and feel really lucky. But I tell you it was watching you that helped with our final choice to live here and make our tree change. Just stoked, we feel like we live in heaven. You rock!!!!!

Thank you so much for this perspective. I also love the farm life and am a chicken owner and gardener. Here in America so many people are in a rush to go nowhere and it’s a sad state of affairs. I 100% agree with all you’ve stated. I’m glad your family got a little time to unwinded🙏🏽. Happy gardening from Florida 🌞

I'd fly to Australia just to stay there! I'm serious. (California)

One of your best vids Mark, what a great place to go to get away from it all.. i bet you could see every single star at night too.

This is one video I hit the thumbs up as soon as I started watching it 💝👍🤸‍♀️

Farmers in America need to do this. What a great way for a family to get away from the rat race and bond!

They do!! You just have to look for it! Out here in the Midwest there are many places to stay and help with all the farm things! Some being cattle drives even!

Another piece of heaven, just like yours Mark. Thanks for sharing!

Oh YES. 🙌🏻 This looks like so much fun! We are taking our kids to Yellowstone National Park in a few weeks. Can’t wait to unplug and just enjoy nature. 🦌🦬🐾

I just recently did the same here in Maine. It was awesome! Makes you aspire to more! Thanks Mark!

I live in Maine. Its a good state.

I grew up on a farm, getting up early to milk cows, clean the pig pen, round up the chickens, pluck veggies from the garden, and do it all over again 7 days a week. Always took time out for Sunday church, then back to farm! I still garden to this day, but can't have any farm animals where we live. Great fun!

Thanks for sharing your experience. Looks like the family had fun.

Nice change of pace in this video. And like you always say mate, get out there and ENJOY NATURE! Well done

Looks like a a GREAT place! 😊 I personally feel so lucky to live on a farm - although there are only some chicken despite the grasslands and fields. One day, we wanna open the farm for other people to show them how agriculture works. 😀 Hello from Austria 🇦🇹

That was just beautiful! and being in nature and with nature is a magical place - so much wonder to take in and so valuable for our well-being. I just loved this video. Thank You Mark!

Definitely food for thought...great escape from hassle and bassle. Thanks Mark ❤.

What a beautiful place ....looked like so much fun . Enjoyed it very much , Mark .

What a beautiful weekend! Thanks for sharing.

I would never have known about this place without you. Definitely on my list now

One of my all time favorite youtube videos... thanks..

What a fantastic family get away! Beautiful place!

What a wonderful idea! Really enjoyed watching this video Mark!

I'm grateful that you and your family had such a mooving good time. Sometimes a person just gets so cooped up. Thank you of the reminders of my hog wild years in Dairy Country, New York State, USA.

Beautifully said, lovely countryside thanks for the video 😃

Absolutely awesome, love farms and love Murwillibah region, thanks for showing us this farm, loved the creek so much...Rozz...Brisbane xo Mark

Yes really enjoying n inspiring such farmstay

I really hope you get a bigger property in the future. You really do deserve it! Plus it would make for some next-level content. Thanks for all you do. I'm learning so much as a newer veggie/fruit gardener. And your content is entertaining as well.

this is a little different from your usual content, but it is fantastic video!! I felt like I went on vacation just by watching

Thanks for sharing this, Mark. I had no idea farm stay was a thing. It's a brilliant concept, and Hosanna looks like a wonderful place.

Oh, what a great idea! Thanks, Mark! I'll be looking for one close to my area. 😊

Wow absolutely loved this visit

Thx for an awesome vid, the farm stay is an absolute paradise. Might just mention for any potential tree changers to not confuse a fa stay such as this one with the reality of buying & farming on your own place, which consists of a lot of endless hard work, money, constant maintenance, frustrations,etc. We purchased in NSW 115acres of beautiful country & for the past 7 yrs have been setting it up for retirement. Absolutely love it, the commitment, work & being prepared for the unexpected must be factored in

Looks amazing Mark. ❤️❤️❤️

Let’s.... Get into it!! 😎 That’s gonna be iconic very soon! Great job Mark!

You're so hilarious and wholesome, I love it!

Hey Mark, been away from the channel for a couple of months and what a boon you’ve had! We’re so happy for you on how successful it’s become! The video you put out of not knowing if you’d continue the channel is long forgotten 😁 Great effort, keep fighting the good fight, all the best from our family to yours 😉

Yes this is the greatest stay on the farm, i was born on a farm in. Gaspe, Quebec, Canada and i will move back to Ontario with my husband and retire in June 5 weeks.........yeah........I am watching your videos and you sure have told me so many things, i am going to have a small gardens..........Tomatoes, strawberrys, cucumber, and so much more.........I love your videos.............

Excellent advice, LOVE the video! Beautiful place! Thank you for letting others know about this place. Do it😀

I was very lucky growing up to have family who had a smallholding so I got to visit on school holidays and help out. So much fun! Might need to look into a farm break soon lol xxx

Lovely clip mate. I felt more relaxed just watch you relax.

That looks like a little bit of bliss! Ahhh!

Beautiful farm stay! The water looks amazing :-)

G'day, Mark! The farm stay looks like a blast.

Entering semi retirement just got my first rural property . No animals or veggies yet, but every day there is a new life . Whole heartily agree with you Mark .

Man what a great message thank you

Love it Mark thank you

That is beautiful 👍🏾 the best part is living it and not being a passive observer as you mention. Those kids will remember that experience forever. I grew up in a rural/small town in South America and now living in USA that’s all I crave is the natural life, that I’m really trying to re-create it on my small plot of land in the city. Hopefully blessings of good health I will be able to live on a farm not too far from the city but more in nature.

What a gorgeous place

Now that is what I call an " All inclusive" experience.

This is so cool! Thank you for sharing Mark! I didn't know this kind of thing existed, I found a couple near my area and I am so looking forward to visiting :)

What a beautiful place! And jabuticaba jam is really good!

Just shared with my pops. He has an idea of farming associated with rural tourism, a bit like the home stay you showed. I am also looking for something like that in the parts where I live. Your videos are always with ideas and suggestions, thanks for sharing!

This looks like an excellent tourist attraction and a great way to spend holidays.

So many people get into homesteading, not realizing how hard it truly is, and how much work is involved. I wish they had these farmstays available everywhere, for various climates, because each climate has its own risks and rewards, but so people can do the work while there...to understand what's really involved. This looks more like a vacation.

Wow how good is that! ❤️

Thank You so much it's beautiful l well never go back to city life

A dream to come true!! Beautiful!!

That is cool. If they had one in my area, I’d go for a weekend. Thank you for sharing!

What gorgeous cows! They're very friendly when handled regularly, smart too. The recognise themselves as individuals in a way most animals don't. They know when you're speaking to them in particular, as opposed to the herd. I miss being on the farm, looking after the girls.

Absolute heaven!

Having family that live only a half hour drive from Hosanna, we visited there last year just for a day. 4 grandsons had a fabulous day there..

Great video, thanks Mahk!

Hey Mark, we know the owner of Hosanna, and she invited us up there, for the weekend and not only we stayed in the homestead too and we didn't have to pay a single cent. But it is the best place on earth!

Soo beautiful!

Absolutely beautiful place...🍃🌻🌿

Amazing place on earth ⭐️

Thank "s for sharing

I love this episode. How I wish my husband and I could go there and stay.

I really love your video an what you do it's awesome thank you an take care 💞🖐️😀

We there all the time. It’s beautiful.

Looks like you must’ve had a great time!

Thank you Mark for doing these I don’t think anybody ever or something like these here in the US, now I’ve have to search 😇😇😇❤️❤️❤️😎😎😎

They've been an option for awhile, there just isn't a lot of talk about it. If you're interested in learning skills of any particular sort, there are also specific packages that will teach you different homestead or traditional skills. Here's a good place to start - farmstayus.com/ www.farmstayplanet.com/farmstays/united-states-1/ Traditional skills homesteadingfamily.teachable.com/ www.sustainlife.org/ There are lots of others. It's probably the most fun rabbit hole I have ever traveled down.

Hi...... Mark (Self Sufficient Me) nice to see you love watching your videos, thank you for sharing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍

Brilliant! I had no idea farmstays were a thing. I'm looking to eventually move to the country, but it will be a while and just thinking about it is overwhelming with how much I don't know. Getting some in-person exposure beforehand would be great.

That looks like such a great farm to spend time at!!

Wow! Looks like fun

We got 4 acres here just south of Brisbane. Love having the big land 🌳

This is amazing.

Thank you mate 😉

Great video,keep it up!🇦🇮

Awesome video my friend! We are going to look for something similar around Tennessee.

Very cool. Lovely natural space and not too far from Brisbane which is named after a guy from my hometown in Largs, Scotland.

I really loved this episode and the one on your flow over channel. I would love to stay there one day. I have had a look at their website. Thank you for sharing.

the food looks so good

Looks like heaven ☘️

There are alot of people that should stay at one of those before jumping in head first. But rather than staying at a farm for recreation maybe it could become a win win for the homestead and future homesteaders

You made me remember that my family used to do this when us kids were little. I helped milk cows, feed the calves, slept in hay, fed chickens, shovelled manure, drove on a tractor, etc. It was so much fun and so interesting.

What a beautiful oasis!

Your videos, the whole channel is really inspiring me. Sober now for 3 years and my grandparents old place was passed down to my mother and being passed to me. Very excited to start homesteading there it’s a little less than an acre and I can get chickens. Wanted to know if you or anyone here has any chicken breeds to suggest. I’m zone 9B, I just don’t want any of the chickens to get too hot. Look forward to hearing any suggestions. Cheers!

Love a new video

Great video

Wonderful farm 😃😀
