- Today we are getting up our potatoes, the vines are dead and if we leave them they could possibly rot or sprout. This is the earliest either of us remember our potatoes being ready! We are a little concerned with them keeping throughout the heat, but we will do the best we can! Tonight for supper we are having simple baked chicken legs, leftover green beans with new potatoes, stewed squash and FRESH corn!! We are so thankful for our beautiful potato harvest!

Barefoot and driving a tractor while his dad encourages him- core memory created. This is the stuff he’ll reminisce about when he’s an old man.
❤ agreed!
Jacob is going to be a egar to learn and carry on his family legacy as a farmer.
So true! ❤️🥰
Sure got good kids
Yes I agree they are great kids l love that we don't have to many kids l that working alone side there parents having fun ❤❤❤
That was a great tater harvest. Jacob did a fine job on the tractor plowing up the last row, he handled it well. It'll take a while to get that smile of his face but that's okay. Maggie did an awesome job picking up the potatoes too. That supper was divine, all that awesome fresh veggies prepared just right, what a treat for all the hard work involved growing it. Great job Megan. You all stay safe and keep up the good videos. Fred.
Fantastic to see the family working together. The boy did great on the tractor and was so proud of himself. Great self-esteem builder! Maggie is a doll! ❤
Thank you guys for teaching your children what life is really about, the love of family!
Meagan, I just know your beautiful momma’s heart was “swoll up” 😉💜 watching your dear husband teach y’all’s son on that tractor. Watching generational knowledge being shared, what a gift. Knowing this is a skill that will help him to care for himself and his own family once he’s grown. It’s a privilege to watch, and a beautiful sight for this old grandmas heart. I pray every day that this world will get back to focusing on family, on being more neighborly, and most of all, living as Jesus intended for us. Your beautiful, young family gives me hope. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I pray you inspire more and more young folks to do the same. God bless you all and everyone who reads this. ~Lisa
Amen.
I love this family ❤
The scene at 30:50 would be a beautiful portrait!
The life of country kids in my opinion is priceless. They learn so many life lessons. Yall are awesome parents! Keep up the great work! This is why yall are my favorite channel.❤
Never get enough of watching these videos! What a joy this family is.
Enjoyed watching Jacob drive that tractor, p,owing up those potatoes, doing just like dad told him. GOOD JOB JACOB!
Maggie, you’re a good helper too!
..baby girl is acting like she's hunting easter eggs..what a treat to see young people acting like picking potatoes isn't a chore or hard labor...😌..
Corn looks fabulous. ❤ 🌽 Supper looks delicious. Yummy!!!
I'm going to start praying for you all and your neighbors to start getting some nice rain showers. 🌧
The potatoe harvest looks great and Jacob did a fantastic job. Both the children are so smart & talented for their ages. I know you guys are so proud of them. ❤
The joy on that sweet child's face was just so beautiful! I'm watching and cheering him on! It was just like Andy's excitement for that first taste of corn! 😂 Great video today! ❤❤
Fun fact: Andy is actually pulling a “rotary cutter” through his taters, not a bush hog.(that’s not a criticism, me and everybody I know call them all bush hogs too!)Bush Hog is a brand name, and was invented, and the company founded, in Selma Alabama in 1951. “Bush Hog” has become the colloquial name for all rotary cutters, much like all tissues are Kleenex regardless of who made them. Bush Hog has been in continuous operation in Selma (my hometown) since it opened, and continues to this day. I actually played on the Bush Hog sponsored little league baseball team while growing up in Selma. If you’re ever down that way, stop by, and then eat some of the best BBQ you’ve ever had at Lannie’s right around the corner!
Hahaha I know that, I just can't seem to say rotary cutter though, always known it as a bush hog
Taters look great for the drought we’ve had. God is good ❤
Potatoes look amazing!! Jacob did a great job. We finally got some rain last night here in East TN. Hopefully, some will come your way asap. I never tire of your videos. I love your family and especially the patience and encouragement you show your children. ❤️🙏🏻
Question for Andy. Since un’s live in Lawsonville NC, did Andy’s family establish the town? Just curious.
Yes ☺️
Love your videos! Girl…a knife company needs to send you a chef knife to chop and cut veggies. I used my favorite boning knife for years 😂. About 7 years ago, my husband bought me a really nice chef knife for my birthday and it has been life changing! I cook everyday and it’s been so helpful and made things so much faster! Your garden looks beautiful! I’m experimenting today…I let my yard long beans go too long and thought well, I’ll shell them and see how the beans are.
Maggie using the trailer wheel as a ladder made me chuckle. She's a little peanut. Jacob is in his glory running the tractor . Parents take note these folks are doing it right.
Luv watching your videos ❤ shows how you can raise your own crops, the hard work that goes into it, an what your reward becomes ❤
That little Maggie is always so enthusiastic 😊
That girl is gonna be worth her weight in gold someday
Love it, everyone working and no fighting or yelling only respect ❤️❤️❤️ good job kids❤️❤️🌽🌽🌽
Much love to your family from Appalachia Kentucky.
So glad to see Jacob encouraged about running the tractor. Go JACOB go.
☕❤️☕ Morning Y'all. And thanks for sharing
I pray we all get some rain 🌧️. We need it here in Tennessee too. Tomatoes are doing good but squash and everything else is dieing.
I am watching this from a overcrowded Britain . Just enjoying a Loving family on their own land , enjoying the freedom and food they have. 😊 PS it's not stopped raing here for nearly a year. I think we have had around 10 dry days.
Your going to force me to stop watching your channel. We can't figure a way to get me a plate of your food. Please know I'm kidding. I'm living my dreams thru yall. Hope yall have a great 4th of July. 😅
🤣
Good potato harvest for dry weather. Great job Jacob plowing potatoes out. You are teaching him good working skills. Love watching your video. We need rain for our corn crop too.
Look at all those taters 👍
I made fried potatoes & onions as a side dish for supper 😁
We love them any way you can make them…
Good job plowing up those potatoes
Jacob👍👍👍
Hi Maggie your such a great helper💞
Take care
Good job Maggie and Jacob helping harvest the potatoes!
You got a pretty good harvest considering how the weather has been.
Good morning !! Thank you !!
So proud of your kids!! They are so helpful
Hey y’all🖐🏻
I can almost imagine how sweet that corn will be with some homemade butter. Lucky yall
The corn did look really good. I think he had a little bit of biscuit with his jelly lol! That's a great potato harvest.
As a child of the 50's, my favorite chore was digging potatoes with a hoe. They were stored in our cellar. We depended on what we grew to get through the winter months. I am thankful for all farmers.
💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
If you are in there repairing your plow, maybe put some re-rod finger wings the dirt can fall through and more potatoes sift out on top. Look up potato digger videos for ideas.
Here on Vancouver Island Canada BCI leave my potatoes right in the ground all winter cover them up with Maple leaves and dig them as I use them during the winter last year though I didn't eat any potatoes out of the garden because I get a 5 pound bag from the food bank every month that's too many potatoes for me as it is but this year I'm digging all new potatoes because the two potato gardens I got are absolutely full of potatoes crazy full but I sure like all the new potatoes I got them a yummy so I go out and dig a bucket of potatoes every week of new small baby potatoes so the very tiny ones back into the ground and I don't have to buy potato starts i've only bought potato starts one year and that was the first year I started from then on I just put the little tiny tiny ones back in the ground and I get potatoes every year and no they're not in rows and no I don't hump up the rows they say if you have at least six inches of loose dirt you don't have to hump your potatoes so I don't bother with thumping the potatoes maybe I don't get as many potatoes from a plant I don't know I get enough potatoes from them
You may need to build a root cellar for all of those potatoes !
Hey friends. Love you all. God Bless. ❤🙏
I've been pumping water from the creek with soaker hoses. Finally got some extremely light rain a few nights ago but almost all night. Then yesterday we got a 20 minute gully washer! My stuff is late anyway. Corn about a foot high and taters still green and some with bloom still. So I pray it works in my favor. Good luck to y'all!
Those sweet babies work just as hard as the two of you. That's good teaching them that hard work pays off.
Jacob's smile...❤
I can remember picking up potatoes as a child this brings back memories.
Good Morning! I love your videos ❤
What's them rows?? 250 foot? I got my potatoes watering off the pond!! I'm still growing up here in Michigan!! Youenz got a root cellar? I can't wait to get started!! We're doing strawberry jam and my bee's are having the best year ever!! Next batch of meat bird's are hatching!! Come on!!
they are actually about 125 ft
@@TrueGritAppalachianWays looks bigger on my phone! Lol I put down a big garden as well!
I've noticed everything looks bigger on camera
Great video. I learned a few things from it that I'll know how to store potatoes ❤
Hi, guys. If at all possible, I think you should try and find a book titled, "The First Ten Years 1975-1985" of the Seed Savers Exchange. The first chapter deals with potatoes. Trust me, you will love it. The SSE sells lost and rare varieties of seeds. Vegetable and herbs.
Megan that was some good looking chicken. Looks like y’all had a good amount of potatoes. I got mine up Friday night and Saturday morning and ended up with about 7-8 bushels. Can’t wait to see what you guys have in store for the next video.
Be safe and praying for some rain.
I just found 7 baby watermelons in my garden this evening. I was FINALLY able to actually get out in my gardens and pull weeds etc etc did some harvesting. The temperature broke last night with the thunderstorms. Y’all’s watermelons look good but I’m sorry they are suffering from this rough drought we are having. Is Honey Select BETTER than Silver Queen?
West Phoenix The early growing season is over because of the heat. Our second season starts in late September, thru to Dec/Jan depending on frost. We rarely go below 40. I call this time our WINTER because of the HEAT.
When you gonna open up a True Grit Appalachia Cafe with all that good southern cooking with fresh Farm Veggies..I bet it would be a huge success I know I’d Drive from Middle Georgia to eat at your Cafe!..You could do a good Southern Breakfast Menu!..I hate do give you the idea but I always thought that a small family Cafe was a great idea that if done right would bring in Loyal regular customers that will also help build community!!
Try roasted squash/zucchini. I like to take zucchini, onions, green peppers and cherry tomatoes coated in olive oil and your favorite spices and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes at 400 degrees. So yummy!
Hard workin family right here! Just love to watch y’all’s vids!❤
That was another really good video. Love how the kids enjoy helping with the farm work. Y'all gotta be so proud of your boy the way he run that tractor. Good job, son and great job Dad and Mom!!!!!!!!!!!!! You really scored on your potato harvest. One of the best crops you can plant on a farm in my opinion. Fried tators, boiled, mashed, baked, french fries, potato salad, potato soup on and on.
Hey Y’all, I got my T-shirts the other day and they are fantastic. My girlfriend who lives a little further up the mountain from me wanted to wear hers to church! I know y’all don’t have much spare time, but we sure would buy more Appalachian Grit merch! Keep up the great videos! Dwight and Audie Belle.
I think of Jason Aldean’s Fly over States. “Met the Man Who plowed that earth, planted that seed, busted his ass for you and me”
My favorite song. Here is the man!! (And family)
38:22 Great job Jacob!!! Maggie...you did a great job too. Taters for the winter! Darn good crop considering the drought. Here in kansa we are going to have a heat index of 106 tomorrowwith high humidity...boy doggies it is going to be a scorcher. My chickens will be complaining.
What a great family unit, you all are so lucky, I am sure you know that. Great parenting. Loved seeing the boy get to drive the plow, such concentration he did a good job.❤🎉❤🎉
Hoping this year, will actually SHOW people that things are rapidly becoming different. The seasons, unpredictable weather, we will probably have to make some major changes in growing food. I’ve noticed over the last several years but now, everybody is noticing that things are not like they were when we were younger. I suppose we will come up with some solutions together, as we go forward. ❤
I loved the sound of you picking corn too! I love shucking it and the smell of fresh corn! Central NC finally got about an inch of rain Sunday afternoon! Praise the Lord!! Love your channel! Reminds me of growing up on the farm!
Brings back memories working with the family. And knowing you will enjoy the bounty good job 😊
Hello from Oregon. Your channel just popped up in my feed and I’m sure glad it did. I look forward to going back and watching your older videos while I wait for each new one to post. I love seeing how your family works together and I’m always glad to see youngsters being taught life skills like tractor driving. Keep up the good work.
Add a can of Campbell s Mushroom soup to.that squash casseroles! Delicious 😋!
Hot, sunny summers are hard on Norlands tops. They seem to get sunburnt. When planted beside other varieties, such as Chieftan, or Red Pontiac; they look poor.
Good job little man teaching them young. He will always have them memories. Good job mama and daddy.
I can’t remember if I watched this before but I really liked it. Jacob sure did a good job, but Maggie that little thing she worked like a grown woman carrying that bucket and hauling it over that throw those potatoes in there. She was working like a little trooper, they both were that was a good video, you’re really raising your kids the proper way showing them how to work and stuff I just love it ❤❤❤
Watering by hand doesn’t have Nitrogen in it like rain water. It will keep it alive but it don’t excel without rain. Around home some corn looks good and some looks terrible just depends on who got the showers and who didn’t. The whole state is dry as a powder house. A slow moving Hurricane without the wind damage could turn it around. My Grandma always said a drought would scare but a flood would ruin you!
Watched your video tonight on making lard. So glad it came up on my feed because I’ve been wondering how to do it. Thank you!
Meagan I saw you had eggs and flour sitting there. Did you roll in the egg and Flour again before baking? Love your videos and family.❤❤
Megan, instead of boiling corn in salt water, just use sugar instead of the salt. It'll change your life!!❤
Was in kitchen cutting veggies and listening to yall . Heard "U keep that silver hood ornament lined up with that row." Guy's , Lost it laughing, and the memory of my first time driving on paved road with yellow lines, " Keep that hood ornament on that line, don't look away." , the man who cared told me. Love n Grace to yall.
That’s a pretty good potato crop for the dry weather. Dry here in NC and it has been tough on my garden also. Your son is pretty proud of his tractor driving skills and he did a great job. Thanks for all your good videos. God Bless.
The best way to butter your corn on the cob is to butter up a slice of bread, then roll your hot corn in it. Then you get nice buttered corn and bread to eat.Yum!
When I was little, we kids vied for that piece of bread!
👏🤩
The kids do such a good job helping out! And that tractor driving was perfect!
All of NC needs some rain in a bad kind of way ! Dry as a bone in Winston Salem. All of my strawberry plants are struggling!
I love you all how do I call you faur coming upb21 august we want you 4 to drive up no moneybneeddd for nothing just fun time and doing every thing stay here it’s all gir you all how finished send a pix rain we had farmers needed my daughter and husband farmers dairyman black white you Andy see lots at the fair those kids can tjdevuntil they want to stop it’s a great fair looking at thousands it’s great
I really enjoyed this. Great family values.
When I was his age I had to drive the tractor for my dad while he operated the plow and I was his daughter and drive the truck with a load of grain on and my baby sister laying on the seat beside me I could hardly see over the steering wheel the truck was had a clutch and a gear shift that was like in around 1950s my parents used to put the potatoes in dugout basement …enjoy your videos and your family ❤ coming from southern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Love y'all's channel. We dug our potatoes July 3 due to the drought we were having. We got enough but definitely not our best harvest.
Good Jon with the taters!!! And listening to your dad. See you learnt an important skill today!!!
The corn looked delicious! Teaching your precious children to work is so important. Jacob is already a great tractor driver.
Have you considered canning your red potatoes? The canned tater is so handy and I’ve had good luck with dusting them with corn starch and frying them- they crisp right up
Thank you all so much for what you're teaching us with each video. Your info is so valuable and appreciated for those of us new to homesteading but also for those of us who are remaining teachable.
Meanwhile here in actual Ireland it's been raining for two weeks and it cold! No potatoes for us yet 😢
What a harvest, and from only 6 roses. I was excited to see them dug with the tractor. Never seen that before. Jacob seems to have the gift for sure. Maggie is a real trooper. Praying your harvests this season will be more than you need. That corn looked amazing too.
This is the most awesome thing I've ever seen, that ya'll teach your children how to survive off the land and love watching ya'll.
New sub. Just lived this video. Your boy must feel 10 feet tall. Nice work all.
I remember as a kid I rode a potato bulker with my grandma where we lived in Oregon. It was scary to a five yr old but also fascinating. I am over 60 now and it is a very fond memory.
When I was a kid down south this was how we dug our taters. Brought back fond memories of my late dad. Thank you.
Love your videos so much.Pray you get rain soon.
I was watching some of ur older videos and u asking about an enchilada sauce recipe and acre homestead has an excellent recipe for it and u can can it also I have tried it myself and have canned some also. Highly recommend recommend
We got rain in South Carolina all weekend!! Man,I hope you guys did too
Tou have the making of a fine gentleman there in Jacob. Great parents make for some fine children.
I got big bag pears that’s got to lay and get ripe their beautiful I am sending you all letter the booklets be out next week I send oh you would love you could milk me I am afraid cows horses and all live you all
Great video you guys. We been super dry here as well in West Tennessee seems here for the last few years it feast or famine. My sweet corn is trying to finish up but the dry weather is stunted it. I’m like you I like my corn on the young side
Wow just wow I’ve dug plenty of potatoes but never seen that done , I learned something
Tractor games and not video games, now that's the way to make a strong young man.
Amen
