In 2017 we realized that being stuck in the rat race wasn't getting us anywhere - and definitely not anywhere HAPPY. So, we're trading in "normal" for making our own path. After suburban homesteading in Southern California for a few years, we've sold most of our "stuff", packed up the rest into a travel trailer, traveled the United States with our four kids to find our forever homestead, and are now revitalizing an old homestead in North Carolina! We live small, love hard, and have one major goal - to LIVE a life worth living.

My mom froze her eggs in ice trays then stored in freezer bags

I was thinking pig boards would work well for moving those piggies. A few boys with quarter sheets of plywood with handle holes cut in them, herding the pigs toward the gate. Well, maybe next time. Glad you got them where you wanted them in the end! 🙂 I love watching all that you do on your homestead, seeing the kids helping with whatever you are working on, and Meg is a rockstar cooking all those meals from scratch for your big family! ❤
Love you videos..Will you have one on any updates on your addtion
Wish I'd known that recipe about 40 years ago! Can't tell you the # of squash that got thrown away because it was too big. 😊 hope you sell all the pigs you need to.
Also God Bless your beautiful family! So happy to see the baby and new life! Such a blessing!!
Morning Beautiful Lady! Do enjoy your videos and I've leaned SO MUCH! I said Hello Beautiful People on a bus in Alaska on a trip, everyone just smiled and we all started to chat and it was absolutely amazing!! God Bless!
Man, listen to those Cicadas!!
You have 4 boys that could learn how to clean up threads with a triangle file.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

It make sense to me that the small pigs do not want to invade the large pig's territory. Why did you not make them a passage on the outside of the big pigs territory? A hole in their fence next to the big pigs would let you add the net on the outside of both pens using the net as one side of the passage and the fence of the big pigs as the other but without invading the big pig's territory. Lead the little pigs out of both pens to the other pen and back in. You have enough net to do this.

I have only just found your channel. I think you are a wonderful young couple and deserve everything that you have achieved so far. I had a grin on my face during this whole episode. Cant wait to catch up with what you achieve. So envious of you. Im 63 woman from UK and wish I had the opportunities you have now.
Fast food for you, faster, cost less, way healthier, tastes way better
OMG I wanna make that bread!!!!! 😋 The cooking part is my favorite part of your channel!!!
At first, I thought you said “Hollar” bread 😂.
I snorted coffee through my nose when you lost your boot. 🤣
Love Challah bread. I make a French toast casserole with it for holidays. So yummy toasted with butter and honey on it as well.
I enjoy this channel . Thank you. 32
apart from two years of work and mega dollars rebuilding and removing the old farm cottage and rebuilding into a home and workshop and storage areas would be good lol. a hundred grand and two years of your lives, otherwise another ten years in your rebuilt home even with the extension room for the girls.
😁
That bread and squash casserole looked so delicious! Hope you had a nice dinner and time at your friends home! Those little pigs were so cute! Seems like you rounded them up in no time at all!
Hey guys, I was listening to the shop talk podcast and heard Ben talking about feeling guilty about not filming stuff and having a lack of motivation. I want to say... please give yourself grace! It's OK to want to not film everything so you can get some needed things done, just do you! You need to find joy in your life as well. So, sometimes don't film, get things done and do a show and tell after the fact. We love you guys and all your channels. So please cut yourself some slack and give yourselves some grace. ❤
💝💗💖 Just made my first loaf of Challah bread yesterday. Could not be more pleased with how delicious it is and so pleased to see you making it. Thanks for the video! ❇❇❇
Your boys always look like they love working. What good young men they are!!
❤

I thought fridays was build the addition day
That looks really good. Giving me ideas for my leeks. The allium family seems to have been hit hard by the funky weather patterns this year. My garlic and onions were all very poor. Even shop bought onions are rotting fast, not storing for more than a month or so. Can only hope my leeks perform better by the time they're due late winter.
They hungry sad oh they need on a big farm poorbthings they need feed fry place clean they are hungry I am glad I am not one they know what’s a head
I use the term, is it a science project yet? When determining if food is still usable .
I’m sure you had a good time! Cool!
I want to make bread now

Hello Ben & Meg, my husband and I have been watching for some time now, we both enjoy watching your family grow and how well you work together as a couple. Meg is a wonderful cook and baker, I enjoy watching her creativity. While Ben, you are equally creative in the outside working on your farm. When I was growing up my grandparents worked a large farm so the things you guys do really rings true to me. We called them farmers back then…
That bread looked delicious.
I just made a loaf of cinnimon and plain. So good! These were my first attempt at bread baking. I am proud. When is your cookbook coming out?😊 I'll wait if I have to. I know you have a newborn. ❤
Your squash casserole looks scrumptious! Love your family homesteading videos <3
Pesto! We are drowning in basil so we are eating pesto every day... -Mike
Those boys are also getting work experience. I grew up working for my parents and had a few years work experience when I went for my first real job. It helps.
Donna here, it just occurs to me that the twins are older now and they might want a bit of privacy. Do they ever get the use of the camper that you have sitting by the shed? Do they have a place to do their " own thing"? I just remember what it was like when I was their age.
Time to change family-photo 😁💛
I want to learn how to make that bread. It looked good. Blessings
DO YOU HAVE A VIDEO ON CASTRATION? HOW OLD ARE THEY WHEN YOU DO IT?
Much love from NYC! If you want to really Impress...Jalapeno Cheddar Challah is🔥🔥🔥🔥
Just to let you know ,New I so enjoy your time and knowledge you give to us when you cook for family and friends. God's blessings on you all.
I bought those boots she got. My foot issues caused me to give them to my daughter. 😢 but they were awesome until my feet ruined it all. LOL 😊❤
Love watching Meg work her magic in the kitchen. Blessings
