Homesteading with the Zimmermans
Homesteading with the Zimmermans
Welcome new subscribers!!! We are a Northern Iowa, ex-Mennonite Family, living on 22 acres. We started this channel as a way to preserve the homesteading way of life for future generations. A place for our children to find the information they need,should the need arise, or they choose the homesteading lifestyle for themselves !
Most of what we know about homesteading has been learned from farming and gardening with our Mennonite parents and grandparents from as early as we can remember, everything else has been learned by asking others for advice or watching videos just like this!!
We strive to raise our meat and vegetables as naturally as possible and only intervene with when absolutely necessary!
We are so glad you are here!

Your gardens are amazing ❤❤
I bet you could start a quilting bee or something similar or a book club in your new Community if it’s not there now! Other ladies would probably welcome it ❤
Beautiful Kate. Thank you for your openness and sharing. May blessings always abound to you and your loving family 💞
Beautiful family❣️and thank you for sharing your videos.
An actual "relationship" with others isn't the primary way to share the gospel. That's not biblical❤️ The gospel can be shared without having relationships with others. You lovingly share the gospel and then they can decide if they want to receive or reject❤️no relationship needed.
, Ruth Ann I'm new to commenting, but have been following along with you for some time now. Thanks so much for sharing your Christian origin and introduction to your family. The bug spray will definitely be put to good use in our home. ❤your channel...
Ruth Ann I am friends with a family of 9 children. The mom had all 9 by c-section. She passed on to heaven a couple years ago at 93. Thanks for your back story of conversion and faith in Christ our Saviour. God bless you richly. I admire you and Elvin for keeping the good things from the Mennonite life.
Your story will resonate with so many. God will restore the community that you missed. Your family continues to grow which is a blessing & each grand child is another new person God adds to your sweet family circle.
Thank you for sharing your born again experience.You are now a part of our forever family through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. ❤🐑😃 Your sister in the Lord from Canada
Love to hear about your miracle baby
I am in Johnstown,Pa and we don’t call them whoppie pies we call them gobs and I was brought up making a cooked filling with flour. The filling has a pudding consistency and is not over sweet like those made with powdered sugar.
❤
Love your story. Thanks for sharing. Glad to be apart your community
What a beautiful family you have. God has truly blessed you. We have to keep our chickens and ducks in an electric fence pen. Our neighbor has big Rottweilers and they used to come in our yard. Once they free range all over, they don’t like staying inside a big fence.
The more I see your videos the more I feel God in your life and family. I love that the Lord uses you to bridge multiple families. Not only the biological families of your children, but also the families of those who watch your videos. May GOD continue to bless and use you.
Which TN homesteading conference will you all be attending?
Thanks for the explanation. I’m glad you’re happy.
From Aus new to bathing. Need kept food. You explain it so well. You're a country girl. You know so much. life experience is a lot. Don't listen to those. Don't read it move on good luck Donna
Thank you for sharing! I'm Mennonite Brethren and married a Dutch guy. Love seeing your recipes, and he loves eating them :)
Thank you for sharing your story RuthAnn! I also have the Holy Spirit my helper! John 14:25-26😊
I think there may be a lot of fear mongering going on with the power holders in the country. A way to sell there own products.
Praise God for the blessing of your family, and praise Him for your openness and sharing your life, and encouraging those whom you meet to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
another nice video
My favorite verse!!
During the breakdown of grass clippings, have you noticed if it supplies Nitrogen to the garden?
Thank you Ruth Anne....for being you....for sharing with us. Just, thank you.....all is as it should be!
I feel so honored that you share so much with us 💕 The Lord knows so many look up to you, thank you for sharing The life line of Jesus 🪽
If you don’t follow all the rules, then you can’t sit with us. 😆🤣😁
Could you start a quilting bee at the church you go to now?
What a lovely lesson from the school of you-tube! I got rid of my glass top stove because I wanted to use my cast iron pans again. Now I have a brand new gas stove and I feel like I’m learning how to cook again.😊
Wow. I love you guys even more! Thank you for sharing. 🥰
Just so you know, my Presto like the one you have said in the manual and in the video that I’ve watched to not use it on an outside cooker unless it the burner was less than 12,000 BTU
Im on day 6 and just wanted to try it and OMG I think i did something wrong becsuse it tastes like alcohol 🤷🏽♀️🤣
Wow I had no idea! Thanks for sharing. It was all so interesting. Love your rich dark garden soil.
BRAVA, You are a good mother, thank you,
Hi! How often do you water your garden if it isn’t raining once a week or more? And how do you keep the weeds down, your garden always looks so beautiful!
Can I eat one, too?
How do you get the kids to play along with this complete sham video of a stay at home mom and family?
I’m so glad you don’t use music in the rest of your videos, it’s very distracting.
God is good indeed. You are very blessed. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. ♥
Ruthann, thank you for sharing your ways of doing things, along with your gracious attitude about each person must decide what is right for them and their own family. I know that I am less willing than you are to take a few risks with food preservation because my family includes people with compromised immune systems - a cancer survivor and two people with diabetes. They might not survive consumption of even slightly spoiled food, so I need to be extra careful when I can! I do some things the same as you and some differently. I do re-use jars and lids, as you do, after careful inspection. Unlike you, I water bath for the full recommended period of time, even though shorter times might be OK for most people. And I add acid (lemon juice) to my tomatoes. I appreciate that your situation is different from mine, and I am glad that each of us has the freedom to do what we understand as being right for us. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your life and skills!
I love hearing your story .
I’m glad I’m not the only one who tries to make more than my mixer can handle
I have truly enjoyed this part of your testimony and life story. Looking forward to hearing Eldon and your testimony. ❤❤
I saw what looks like a CampChef propane cook stove under your water bath canner. They are always out of stock, but I'm inspired to keep trying to purchase. Ruthann, do you put you pressure canner on the CampChef outside?
I love you, Ruth Ann! Thank you for putting out meaningful, wise, useful, and encouraging content! ❤
I wish i lived near you i would love to learn all you vast wonderful knowledge!!?❤
❤❤❤I really enjoy all your videos ❤❤thank you for sharing, I have and still do learn so much from you❤God Bless
