Welcome to the Big Bear Homestead where our mission is reaching the community through teaching homesteading.
We live on a 21-acre homestead in Elberton GA, where we raise pigs, cows (beef and dairy), sheep, chickens, ducks, quail, and honeybees. We are in garden zone 7B, we have a large garden that we use to can our harvest. We also partake in the Grow Foods Not lawns movement
Our videos are created with a fun spirit and sprinkled with experience. We try to highlight the many challenges we have faced and the lessons we have learned on our homesteading journey.
If you want to see genuine homesteading ups and downs, you are in the right place! Be sure to check out our playlists for things like gardening, rescuing a honey bee hive, choosing a dairy cow, an introduction to raising pigs and even predator control on the homestead.
We also do weekly live streams on Saturday evenings from 8 to 9pm. Hope
to see you there! Thanks for stopping by the Big Bear Homestead. HAVE A NICE DAY!

Poor babes
I am surprised that you have not purchased a grapple for your tractor. No dough that your Kioti tractor is a great tractor and you are making the most out it.
Proud momma!
That she is! And the mama’s mama was even more proud!
Have you fixed the issue yet? Has it gotten worse or better because I have the same issue starting today. How much did it cost?
We were never able to fix the issue. We hit a deer in May and totaled the car. But the noise was only sporadic and we were almost positive it have to do with the catalytic converter.
Lol, the commentary!
Be glad I found a clip, cuz you really would t have liked what I was saying lol!
Cute😊😊😊
He’s adorable!
I need to check this one out. I've been happy with my Vego Garden so far and this could be a good addition.
I absolutely love ours. Every time I water I’m grateful to have it. Right now you can’t neglect watering just because you don’t feel like dragging and connecting hoses. 130” is plenty for me and it is so easy to install and retract.
I might need this
I need to get another one for our large garden. 130 feet is pretty far!
Nice! I like that hose reel!
I love how easy it is to use. And it keeps the ground free of hoses!
Howdy from west Texas! 🤠
Well, hello there Leslie!
So true about the internet. For the price it should have a booklet with it. Mine is OLD am doing maintenance on it right now. Great video
How old is old? I’m hoping ours lasts for a while.
😢 Someone would have to buying for me. Old lady on fixed income it's only in my dreams?I'd own one of those. I drag 50' hoses and have for years here. Btw... there are way better hoses that actually don't kink but they cost more than $30.
The best hoses I bought were almost $50 per hundred feet. Unfortunately with the way we pull the hoses and store them, they only last a couple of years before they have creases and cuts in them. This hose should last much longer.
And the DEVIL DOG prevailed
OORAH!!
What breed of cows do you raise?
All different kinds, Heinz 57 mix
That is so funny
It’s so hot the pigs are taking mud baths!
🥵
It was so hot. Can’t wait to ferment the rest
Robyn, you turned red immediatlly! Of course Jason acted like it was no big deal - its the Marine in him (but he stayed away from the seeds).
I actually edited out the part where It was so hot I spit it out and got the hiccups! Jason told me later, that’s a HOT pepper. The marine in him wouldn’t let go of his military bearing lol.
😂😂😂😂😂
The nice thing is, the heat only lasted a few minutes. Can’t wait to make fermented sauce!
I get it
Of course you do! Thanks Luke!
Awh she has a baby 😊
It’s sprays nice rolling up on a new calf. It’s like Christmas!
Awesome!!
Isn’t he so cute?
Nice
I know right! Future beef in the freezer!
❤
Bet you’re not jealous of the size of those beds now! It took all three of us over an hour to unearth those tomatoes. Hopefully the straw will help with weeds moving forward
😮
Such a silly bird!
🐷
Can I use mesquite tree trimmings, as long as I remove the seed pods? Thank you
It looks like mesquite is a nitrogen fixer. So I would say use some in each bed, but not all mesquite. Just for good measure. Thanks for watching!
My Mahindra 6075 has a 5 year warranty
Glad to hear that. Tractor do break from time to time. So the warranty is important! Thanks for watching
Awwww hi louise!
She says hi
Boooooooop

Booped!!! All in the way from NY ❤
That’s a long boop
Jerseys are so cute.
They can be and they can be jerks depending on their mood
First booop

My Aunt Fannie told me that the Brown jersey cow gave the best milk and made the best butter.
Your Aunt was not wrong
😂
You like that
❤
Moo

Boop!❤
BOOP!!
Besides being sooooo cute shes also obediant!❤
Very good girl, most of the time!
How can anybody look at that sweet face and not become a vegetarian?
I would understand that, if she didn’t kick me and the milk bucket 5 minutes later 😂
Thanks for the info! 😊
Sure! Thanks for watching!
❤
still no notification...sorry I missed y'all
Don’t forget the members only on Thursday at 2pm
Glad to hear you’re going to do Mondays. Saturday was tough for me to catch you live. Missed this one because I was busy and wasn’t expecting a notification.
I look forward to seeing you again in the chat!
I bet this would be the best tasting pig ever😅
She was definitely tasty!
