I totally understand being in a weird season. We are on the other end of that season though. We should close on our new farm in Tennessee in just a couple of weeks. Yay!
Pocket omelet is what i think Jess from Roots and Refuge calle em lol! I had a close call the other day!! The egg broke in my pocket but didn't split open wheew!!
I am a member of your new community and I think it already is something special!! I love being a part of it. THANK YOU that we don't have to be on Facebook!!!!! I am so glad that I/we can get a discount at Murray McMurray. That's where I ordered from in 2019 and 2020. I love being able to walk outside and get fresh eggs. And yes, I have crushed eggs in my pocket. OPPS!!!! My rooster crows day and night. In the morning, 11:00 pm at night, even 2:00am and 3:00am. I don't think he knows how to tell time. LOL It's so cool that you guys are in the magazine!!!! I will be starting my peppers and tomatoes inside next month. February. Almost time to ramp up. Thanks for the video! God Bless! Carmen
Your the first channel that I have seen that have taken a stand on the facebook issue! This is POSITIVE and I commend you for doing so. I pray that many others follow your example. Thank you!!!
We spent the past several months kicking around a decision on which our farming future was dependent. Looking at the world events, concerns about the economy, so many things to take into consideration because we don't want to make a "wrong" decision. Finally, we made it and the relief of that, even though we won't know the final outcome for several months, is tangible. There are so many what-ifs in life. What we have found is that we are called to walk faithfully and trust that God isn't going to blow us up! That is freeing!
We ordered from McMurray's hatchery last year and all 8 chicks arrived alive and healthy 🥰 We did vaccinate as there is risk of the chickens getting the virus that causes Marek's s disease from wild birds. In our limited experience-we recommend this hatchery as their quality seems high!
It is very strange season of life, we want to move to mountains but we have 35 years of roots literally and by the skin of our teeth is paid for. We have decided to stay on our little farm.
Good for yall, for ordering your chicks and continuing to live the life you love.. regardless of what your future plans may hold. I've let the same uncertainty delay so many things on our homestead throughout the years. I'm learning to just go for it and enjoy the process!
Just want to say thank you for going to get our books and helping Justin with all that. I'm so excited. And yes this is all our lives right now down time.
This is the time of year that Scandinavians celebrate hygge. It’s about enjoying the wintery outdoors, but spending time indoors to be cozy, enjoy hot chocolate, and light some candles to warm the heart. God bless ❤️
Jason you have done so well , we just got some land and you have been part of the inspiration, keep up the amazing american dream . wishing you luck with the move. God 1st, family always.
Show of hands for everyone who’s in a weird season? Let’s swap ideas and stories.... you can either make improvements knowing you’ll leave it for the new owner or make improvements that you can take with you....I don’t know the details but couldn’t you ship hats in bags less expensively?
I'm in the same boat you are. I want to move, am in the process of getting things ready here, but haven't found a new place yet. The in between times are fuzzy... lol...
Hi Jason, I love your channel and the family! Been watching from near the beginning, I loved your stories and that you have been in remission and your positive attitude. Also, Just my opinion, you know we all have one, but you have been all over that property, just saying, I have loved the trip, real fun watching, but it is a good time to look for room to turn around, to really grow, a homestead legacy kinda place...I am excited for you guys to start the ball rolling, if not, we’ll have more fun where we are! Oh by the by, my favorite chicken is Cinderella🥰, did you ever find out what kind of chicken she is, I was so happy you did not cull her with the other chickens she came with! God bless you all and keep you safe! Love you guys, Norma (from Florida)
Just be confident and take the leap J, you guys are doing so well you might as well expand while the opportunity is there. Having more is more time in but ten times out which even the stock market can't do. Just hearing now about your work shop, been off the grid for 5 months so just catching up but not much time for YT viewing, too much work to get this old place fixed then productive if at all possible. Learned allot from you guys because you are more of like Us than them if you know what I'm saying. With Your now experience and energy I think larger suits your direction well. I don't know how we will do at 60 but here we go, Cheers and Peace Out
You’re the steward of the land so go ahead and plant do the things you want to get done just in case so that you’re covered and your family will have food to eat I love your channel good luck
I wonder why don't you guys keep the freezer in a protected area (unheated) but outside of the house, north facing side of the house might be the best? Possibly cold weather keeps the power bill low during the winter and you have more extra room in the house....:)
I’m in the same boat Jason. My wife wants to join the arm and we don’t fined out till March if she gets accepted. If she gets accepted we’ll move to wherever sometime this summer or late summer so I don’t know how much to do. Hate living life on pause.
hat does put you in a rough place. It is hard to make the decision do I plant & leave the food but at least with animals you can take them with you. Good luck in your search. Have a Blessed day.
I'm definitely interested in the community!! Good luck with your next venture. We prayed for 2 years for God to lead us in the right direction of finding a property and it happened. We told people for 2 years that we were moving but we didn't know where. God is always right on time!
I think when i get chickens, i will have a chicken house for a few of my chickens to have baby's. And have another chicken house to get eggs to eat. That way i don't have to keep buying new chickens. My grandfather had chickens on his farm, and i learned a bit by watching him tend his chickens.
How are the agricultural laws in MO compared to like TN or NC? Are they pretty farmer friendly? The one thing I did note with MO is that it's near impossible to keep mineral rights to your land...
for the garden maybe you can instead "lease" a long row or two from justin and keep your garden covered with silage tarps for the year; that way you are not walking away from a full garden of almost ripe produce?
Here's a good book to check out- Ten Acres Enough. Robert Plamondon edited this book to reflect the modern financials of a 19th century farmer who was faced with the question of how big does my homestead need to be and where should it be. A fascinating read...
Come on over to middle Tennessee. Would love to have you guys as neighbors. Starting up our homestead. We have 3.5 acres with a old farm house and barn. 2 goats and 2 pigs so far. lol Wish you guys luck in your decision.
That is my plan. I want to wait till i am on my new land to have chickens and a bigger garden. I want to plant a few fruit trees also. Even if i don't save the fruit, i can at least eat fruit in the warm seasons. My brother is always wearing the shirt i bought him. I got it to inspire him to get out and do dome work , lol. I keep my shirt just to look at, i don't wear it. I like the saying on the shirt. It's all about getting out and getting some work done on my land.
Since it takes a few years to get fruit trees to the bearing state, could you plant them in large buckets now and transfer them when you get to your new place?
So long as Bernice, Fuzzy Muggins, Cinderella and Freddie are on the Land ,all is well. Remember your thoughts at the begining of your journey, you did not want to take on more than you need too ?
We don’t have our homestead yet but are in that same weird spot. We know we want to move but not sure where and if I should even start plants and other things since we can’t move till July.
I would love to have acreage and I mean ACREAGE as in a few hundred acres. Why? I would like about 25 to 50 acres for a house, large garden, a barn or 2, a workshop, some pasture area, and a small orchard. The rest of it I would like to leave wooded or mostly wooded for several reasons; to keep it for the wildlife, selective timbering to remove diseased and dying trees but leave some dead trees for animals that make their homes in, and to hunt. Also to enjoy the Beauty of nature. There would be enough land that if you wanted to, you could run around the yard naked shouting: "I LOVE THIS PLACE!!" Not saying you would, but you could if you wanted to and not have the neighbors call the police and lock you up for a psych evaluation! ROTF LMAO The Only neighbors you would be disturbing would be the Wild animals! And they would be thinking: "What is this Crazy Hooman doing? Why did they have to come and spoil the neighborhood!" ROTF LMAO
Do you know what kind of chicken freddie/Hilda is?? He looks just like mine. It was a surprise chick so I have no clue. Same thing happen here, thought it was a hen til he started crowing. Lol
I totally understand being in a weird season. We are on the other end of that season though. We should close on our new farm in Tennessee in just a couple of weeks. Yay!
You've done so well in 5 years! Keep it going wherever you are...we'll follow! Proud of your family!
Your rooster starts crowing at 6am!! I have a couple that start at 4 to 4:30 in the morning 😂😂😂
Pocket omelet is what i think Jess from Roots and Refuge calle em lol! I had a close call the other day!! The egg broke in my pocket but didn't split open wheew!!
I had my first pocket omelet yesterday trying to do too much before unloading the eggs. Thankfully it barely broke the inner lining

Yes, you have outgrown your farm and you need more land to continue to grow. I think 2021 will be an awesome year for your family. You deserve it.
yeah I do lol. I've tossed clothes in the washer with eggs in my pockets lol
Trying to get off of RUclips for obvious reasons. Love to be a part of your community.
How do we find you if not on YT? Help!

I completely agree and am done with winter. Usually I love winter..but I really want spring to go ahead and get here.
Your first chickens are coming March 22, that's the same day of our first shipment! Cool

You guys do a lot on that plot of land. Good for you guys.
Show of hands for everyone who’s in a weird season? Let’s swap ideas and stories.... you can either make improvements knowing you’ll leave it for the new owner or make improvements that you can take with you....I don’t know the details but couldn’t you ship hats in bags less expensively?
Seems like an already growing garden will increase the price and help it sell faster. Maybe have some backups in pots ready, just in case.
Love the videos I wish are winters were that nice it's about 20 below here in northern Wisconsin. Had problems with eggs freezing before collecting.
I'm in the same boat you are. I want to move, am in the process of getting things ready here, but haven't found a new place yet. The in between times are fuzzy... lol...
KInda mushy here in NC isn't it? Can't wait for the workshops to begin!
Can't wait to see what you guys do this year.👊🏻👍🏻
I saw you guys in the mcmurry catalog, that was a fun surprise. Thanks for the woodstove tip.

Hope you get to move Lord willing where you can plant this spring also.
I am hoping to leave the city behind and finally move to Texas and the country!! I hope I get to do it this year!!
Lovely clip nice to see you both
You do have a beautiful farm
Zone 8b here. Still growing collards and sowed sugar snap peas in ground yesterday. Can’t wait to get our first set of broilers for this year.
When is your last frost date? Seems early for sowing peas outside.
You’re the steward of the land so go ahead and plant do the things you want to get done just in case so that you’re covered and your family will have food to eat I love your channel good luck

Move to Texas; East texas is beautiful and has lots of trees and it's affordable
Time to switch Carolina's and move South! We'll be moving to the Greenville area this year.
While ya'll are looking for a new homestead, just remember how much we love you here in NC!
Hi.... Jason nice to see you love watching your videos, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍
Oh wow man. Definitely an in between time for y’all and I can see how that makes it hard to plan. Either way y’all are going to have an awesome year!
I got my Murry McMurry catalog a few weeks ago, was excited to see you guys in there.
I can’t wait to get that garden going!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Winter sucks. Hope you guys can find some land!
I’m in the same boat Jason. My wife wants to join the arm and we don’t fined out till March if she gets accepted. If she gets accepted we’ll move to wherever sometime this summer or late summer so I don’t know how much to do. Hate living life on pause.
Jason BROO! I wear my hat to work everyday! Everyone like "whats STL"? And i show em. Hahaha. Love yah brotha!
Love my shirt from Sow The Land!
I would love to buy that place if you ever decide to sale. Its a perfect place for me.
👍👍
Have a good evening ❄❄❄
Make sure that the next farm is big enough that you won't grow out of it. Can't wait
Love ya man.
hat does put you in a rough place. It is hard to make the decision do I plant & leave the food but at least with animals you can take them with you. Good luck in your search. Have a Blessed day.
More work shops are awesome!

we're swapping farms this year too LORD willing. If you want to look at a different state you are more than welcome to come visit us in MO 😂
How are the agricultural laws in MO compared to like TN or NC? Are they pretty farmer friendly?
The one thing I did note with MO is that it's near impossible to keep mineral rights to your land...
for the garden maybe you can instead "lease" a long row or two from justin and keep your garden covered with silage tarps for the year; that way you are not walking away from a full garden of almost ripe produce?
ive done the same but different places and stringent isolation policy and still got mareks

That is my plan.
I want to wait till i am on my new land to have chickens and a bigger garden.
I want to plant a few fruit trees also.
Even if i don't save the fruit, i can at least eat fruit in the warm seasons.
My brother is always wearing the shirt i bought him.
I got it to inspire him to get out and do dome work , lol.
I keep my shirt just to look at, i don't wear it.
I like the saying on the shirt.
It's all about getting out and getting some work done on my land.
Since it takes a few years to get fruit trees to the bearing state, could you plant them in large buckets now and transfer them when you get to your new place?
Me and my wife order 25 chickens and 30 ducks
I'm getting snow now and thank you for the invite because yes I want to get off Facebook.
Here in Ohio! The “slush” is a season all in it own for us
What’s up Jason?! About wore my hat slam out lol.
We got 16 inches of snow on Monday and another 2 inches overnight.
So long as Bernice, Fuzzy Muggins, Cinderella and Freddie are on the Land ,all is well.
Remember your thoughts at the begining of your journey, you did not want to take on more than you need too ?
I ordered my meat birds 2weeks ago.
Been there, broke an egg in my pocket last week.
I take lions Maine to Lorraine help with memory and nerve pain in back
OMG I struggle with this on almost every project I have to do.
Charlotte from Ky.🙂
Wood ash was used to make soap in days of yore (before the 80s).
Thank you for not vaxxing.
Do large containers you could move
I thought the same thing, with just a few as they grow a large garden
Hens are making eggs 🥚 love watching those Pigs 🐷🤣🐽
I'm curious about the mushroom logs, have you thought of placing a few dozen of them in the creek?
Had a pocket omelette yesterday
We are going to get pigs too
Dude! I totally crushed an egg in my pocket the other day. Messy 🙃
Prayers to our Good Father for direction 🙏🏻
🎉
@@SowtheLand also, remind Lorraine to make some tallow for the Etsy shop 🤗🤗
We don’t have our homestead yet but are in that same weird spot. We know we want to move but not sure where and if I should even start plants and other things since we can’t move till July.
I’d love to be part of the community only
Where is your snow it’s -40 windchill here With snow
We are in the same spot. We want to move from NJ. Are you wanting to stay in NC?
Believe it or not our insurance company wont let us sell eggs. We have been hunting for a pig or two.
Love you guys & pray you find your place. Silly question but why is there a Xylophone strapped to the post???
I think he put it up for chicken entertainment (jamming with his harmonica?!) but would love to know if they actually “play” it

❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm telling you I hate it when a egg crutches in my pocket😂
Where do you get your chicken feed from? I’m in eastern NC. Thanks!

Thank you ,Matthew, for considering wildlife. I’m a little concerned few homesteaders seem to.
How many meat chickens will you get this year ?
All in Gods timing.
How’s the parents doing in this cold weather?
All I could say would be TEXAS...
Do you know what kind of chicken freddie/Hilda is?? He looks just like mine. It was a surprise chick so I have no clue. Same thing happen here, thought it was a hen til he started crowing. Lol
cochin chicken from McMurray hatchery
