Cypress & Sparrow Homestead
США
Добавлен 7 июл 2021
Welcome to the channel! We are Austin & Sarah.
This channel exists to document our journey of learning how to live a more self-sufficient life and to share the honest truth about the challenges and the joys we face on this journey.
The two of us grew up as city kids and after we got married realized we dreamed of living a simpler and more self-sufficient life in the country. We jumped at the opportunity to pack our bags and buy our little piece of heaven in the beginning of 2021.
We have a lot to learn and we hope that you will join us on this adventure!

An honest day in the life on a homestead
Просмотров 9386 месяцев назад
Today was a simple day on our homestead. We did all the little chores that needed to get done but are flashy or overly exciting. Most importantly, we rested, we recharged and we spent time together unplugged. It's hard to believe but when we moved out to our homestead these where the type of days we were after.

Next step for my family & I.
I think you can learn more about it on WoodPrix.
Thanks for the video. Just got some seeds, jars and lids and I'm going to start growing some myself.
I love how farm life teaches patience, hard work, and gratitude for the little things in life.
Lol, that new car smell!
What an inspiring journey from city life to self-sufficiency! This homestead tour beautifully showcases how dedication and hard work can create a sustainable and fulfilling lifestyle. Truly motivating!
my dream
200 juta beli perumahan subsidi, mending beli lahan 1 hektar di kampung
The visuals in your videos are stunning, and they make the gardening process so enjoyable to watch!
Thank you so much!
I really like your chicken coop and vegetable garden
Thank you much appreciated!
We use straw and sometimes shavings. I think it’s good to mix it up. We do a clean out about 2x per year.
New subscriber here! Great job winterizing! I need to get busy, I will definitely be chopping wood this winter! Take care 😊
I'm looking forward to hearing how the pine needle bedding works. Best of luck.
I am very new to RUclips, yet i get inspired by you all. We all dream to live a life like yours.
Good job, awesome man lived it.
Thank you!
I just found you and like everything about your homestead and the way you have gone about establishing it. Very concise and well presented. May God continue to bless your efforts.
Thank you very much!
What an exciting project! Building a new chicken coop on your 10-acre homestead is a fantastic way to enhance your space. I love the thoughtful design and the way you're integrating it into your property. It’s inspiring to see your commitment to providing a great environment for your chickens. Can't wait to see how everything turns out-great job!
Weldon guys you took the step early. It took me 37 years to realize that city life doesn't suit me. And at 44 still struggling to leave city because my spouse is against it and have 4 children! I wish I could just runaway but my conscious will never forgive me. Thanks for the video mate.
I like the idea of the foyer in the chicken coop. About how much $$ would you say is needed to get started? (Excluding cost of purchasing land)
Good job,I like you so much
Thank you!
You dont give your child coffee right?
@@dirijabl5398 haha no it’s hot chocolate :)
@@CypressSparrowHomestead chocolate also has caffeine, its a neurotoxin, will mess up babys nervous system
A great morning coffee date! Love it!❤
@@jodibusse7 so cozy!
Hello
Hi!
First time watching your video. Loved it. Your homestead looks so nice and breezy.
Haha it was SO windy when we recorded this one. Thanks for watching!
Great video! I am glad to see young people outside in the yard or garden. I would definitely try to save the seeds from that huge cucumber. I would make relish from it as well. Happy gardening! ❤
Peel and cut the cucumbers up, put them in a blender with water and you have agua de pepino (cucumber "spa" water) & it's so yummy and hydrating! Also, make one of those viral cucumber salads. I personally love them with lemon salt and tajin but any fruit seasoning would do. You could also cut and freeze them up for a self care spa day or for a tangy smoothie, or make cucumber ice cubes and add them to your water once in a while. ps. anytime our family has fruit that is overripe and about to go bad, we just cut it up and add it to a blender with water and drink that with our meals instead of soda, tea, water. it usually last only a couple of days with a family of four plus occasional family guest. SOOO when in doubt, make a agua fresca out of it.
We bought the biggest chipper we could afford/justify the expense for. There were dozens of smaller, used one weekend or season units offered on FB, but we needed something powerful enough to handle good sized branches for land clearing.
Yeah we are in the same boat, want to find something we can afford but can also get the job done. Thanks for the feedback!
Hi
Hello!
Great video!, it will be better if there is no background music.
Thanks!
Hello from Australia - your honesty and talking from the heart was awesome. It was just what I needed to watch today - you came up as watch next after I watched another garden show. Im currently on the lounge with a bad back so im very glad I have all raised beds however Im very frustrated watching you tube and wanting to get out there and plant my seeds before tomorrows rain arrives. However another day will work out too. Happy Homesteading and im looking forward to watching my videos of your journey
Hi
Thanks for the kind words and wishing you a speedy recovery!
You could store the grern pnes for seed potato
That’s the plan!
We have a Jensen wood chipper and it's fantastic! I would recommend not buying the smallest cheapest wood chipper...ask me how I know! We use the chips in the garden and in the chicken coop!
Thanks for the recommendation, will have to check them out!
Hi i'm from Michigan a first time gardener i love it's so much fun . and your right much cheaper. i just scribed to your channel i really enjoyed watching. Can i ask what state your in?
Thanks for watching and we are in Western Wisconsin so not too far!
Thanks for the video. So real! You are giving your little one the best gift he could ever have! Off target question but what color is the green at the end of the video? It’s beautiful!
Thanks so much for the kind words! Shoot I don’t remember the exact color but it was from Behr (Home Depot)
You got a beautiful homestead keep pushing we here for support.😅
Thanks so much!
Hugs from Poland ❤
Hugs from America 😊
Well done. I’m do a similar thing in Queensland Australia. 😊😊😊
Awesome, thanks for watching and good luck on your journey!
A lot of herbs are perrenials
Make relish
I think we will!
Great video 😊 How many plants gave you 100 pounds of tomatoes? I am thinking about that for next year. Were they paste tomatoes?
Thanks! We had about 16 plants with a combination of Amish Paste, Roma, San Marzano, and some beefsteak!
@@CypressSparrowHomestead thanks 😊
I put cucumbers in my morning smoothies. I’ve puréed them and then frozen the puree in ice cube shapes. I’ve also just sliced and frozen and added the slices to my smoothie. It’s so refreshing.
Thanks a great idea, going to have to try that!
I’ve been watching homesteading videos on utube for maybe 6 months now. The benefits of this lifestyle are many. I can’t believe after watching so many of them that this was the first time I actually noticed how everyone looks so healthy. Not like most Americans. 💪👍
Lol.😂yep
Wow thanks I appreciate that compliment! One of the driving forces to live this lifestyle was to be healthier!
I think tzatziki sauce is made with cucumbers, isn't it? That is good on like gyros and other Greek food. It's so freaking good
We love tzatziki!
I'm enjoying your journey. Thanks.
We appreciate it, thanks for following along!
We left the city in 2020 also. In our case, we had to "retire early" because our employers were mandating certain things we weren't going along with. It was a difficult and expensive choice, but God has blessed us in so many ways. We started our off grid homestead in fall of 2020 and recently started a channel to share info for others who might be looking to do the same. There are so many ways to move toward self-sufficiency! However you do it, just do it and don't wait to start. :-) I wish we had started a long time ago! Good for YOU!
That is ridiculously frustrating to hear, I'm sorry for that but hopefully put you guys on a better path. Best of luck and off grid is another level for us so right back at ya, Good for YOU!
We really enjoy your channel. We're off grid - just celebrated FOUR YEARS - and there's always so much to learn! You just don't know what you don't know until you know you don't know it - and then it's too late! :-) Some things you can only learn through trial and error. Hopefully the mistakes aren't too expensive and no one gets hurt. We look at most things we do as "experimental" - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but we always learn a lot. Great videos! Keep it up!
Try, fail, learn, get better, repeat :) Thanks for watching and good luck on your journey!
