Welcome Grove Homestead

Welcome Grove Homestead

Hey everybody, and welcome to Welcome Grove Homestead! We are a homesteading family in East Tennessee. We started as an urban homestead out in California, and God enabled us to move out here and live our dream of having a full-blown homestead in the country! We are working with nearly 60 acres, growing hay to feed our diverse group of animals, from goats and sheep to pasture pigs and cows. We've got some smaller critters here too, from rabbits to a variety of poultry.

We want to share our journey, and our lessons, with you! We try to bring the honest truth about homesteading in our videos, sharing the joys and sorrows, successes and failures. We want to help people learn about the things we do. Amanda has a reputation for being a bit of a nerd, so she tries to explain some of the WHY and HOW we do what we do.

Homesteading isn't only on the big properties! You can grow food and be more self-sufficient exactly where you are! As we always say: You can GROW where you're planted!

    I know exactly where you live. I lived on welcome grove rd for around 3 years almost across the road from your farm. I fixed my place up and resold it. You have a nice place. I lived there just in time to meet Randy’s dad. He was a really nice old man and a good old fashioned farmer. Now both Randy’s parents are gone and I actually moved back to Kentucky where I grew up. I love the small farming country life and I wish you best of luck as you make memories on your homestead.

    Por otro lado les comento si entierran las tripas , las plumas y la cabeza en su patio tracero van a lograr de manera significativa un abonado a largo plazo siendo esto super beneficioso para sus plantas. Con relacion a la sangre colectada si la diluyen a razón de 1% y los otros 99% agua la puedes aplicar directamente al suelo . Es solo cuestion de cuanto colectaron de sangre y agregar la cantidad adecuada de agua. Yo soy agricultor urbano 100% organico con 30 años de vivencias en esta materia.

    I have always struggled giving sub q fluids to my cats (yes I said cats... still not on my property so all I have are cats and chickens) but the process of tenting is the same and this was exactly what I needed to see how to "follow the body" and use the tent. Otherwise I was always afraid I'd go right through and out the other side. Thanks so very much!

    Very sorry for your losses and both doelings - so sad. Certainly you take wonderful care of your goats, so no shame there for losing them and lesson learned on the tiny one. But the rest of the babies are so cute and look strong and healthy. The moms did great.

    Hey, it is always tough to know when to intervene with mother nature. So often we think we can do better and actually make things worse. You just can't always know. Congrats on handling 7 births! Wow! That is busy! Sad you lost the doelings. But such beautiful babies! Thanks as always for sharing!

    Wow, quad and triplets kids on a first freshening? That's nuts! Beautiful babies. So sorry you lost the two little ones. I can relate to the all nighters Amanda. Late night or all night watch as our Shetland ewes always seemed to decide to lamb in the middle of the night. My wife usually took on the watch chores but sometimes it was both of us if I didn't have to go to work in the morning.

    I had a property with older fencing and we got a Brown Swiss dairy cow. That rotter would lean up against the wire of the fence until she SNAPPED OFF the wooden posts.. Then she'd be off all over the countryside!! We ate her. I have had a sudden and intimidating explosion of mites on my chickens in just the last few days. It's terrible!! I sprayed the entire coop down with neem oil, today after dusting the nests and shelves with DE yesterday..that did nothing but make the mites mad at me. I swear I had 100 crawling on me when I collected the eggs. I wiped pure neem on my forearms!

    When i saw the title of the video + your new cute haircut, i was like "oh, no, how did she catch it on fire?!" I'm there were no actual incendiary accidents. I winced seeing Miss Kitty climb up on the stand with that massive udder. Poor thing. I hope it calms down soon and that she doesn't get sick. It's always great to see an update from your channel.

    Lol no incendiary events. Just my brain smoking with all the little problems adding up. Kitty's udder is still very large each morning, but a little less painful, I think. She is doing great on production this year!
