About:
Jason and Lorraine. In 2016 we sold most of our belongings and left the city in southern California to start a small homestead in the mountains of North Carolina. We left the city in search for a more minimal and intentional life. We became passionate about growing our own food and knowing what exactly is in our food after I (Jason) became diagnosed with cancer. Now 8 years in remission we as a family are on a journey to live our passions.
We document our life on RUclips videos to inspire others to get out of their comfort zone and not be afraid of change. We started our own online general store where we have available the things we make and use in real life. Thank you for following us on this incredible life changing journey!

This is AWESOME! This 67 yo grandma aged woman can actually do this now in her city yard where we are allowed 6 hens.
I love how excited Lorraine is for your upgraded chicken tractor! Upgrades can make the whole process so much more fun!
I just ordered my chicken lift, Jason.... and I made sure to put JASON FROM SOW THE LAND SENT ME HERE . keep going
thank you Kevin! I appreciate it!
I love these neat little inventions that make life so much easier!
We just raised our first batch of meat chickens. We had to have our son move the tractor for us. This is a great idea for us older folks! Thank you for sharing!
Paul Williams ,
If you are building your own chicken tractors and they are too heavy maybe you can do as I have done. I make mine by using 2" X 3" in stead of using 2" X 4" . The 2" X 3" are quite strong enough for this purpose and are lighter in weight. I have even used 2" X 2" successfully . After all , it's just a box of sorts depending upon the style. If age matters , I am 77 1/2 years old.
Now I can build a chicken tractor!
Thank you for sharing!
Wow that’s great sometimes you got to spend a little money to make life easier on your homestead. Your back will thank you!!
Thank you so much for sharing. That looks like something most people who raise meat birds need. Take Care.
I just slide mine on skids. I cut some of that flexible pvc drain pipe (non corrugated) and fastened it where it goes over the back two corners of the frame (lengthwise) and it slides easily, even on dirt and rock.
Hi..... Jason and Lorraine, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🐖🌱🎥👍👍👍
Awesome decision to use that lift, I hope a lot more homesteaders use it ! 😊👍💕💕💕
My wife loves our chickens and wants to be involved with them on a daily basis. Including moving the chicken tractors which have no wheels. She can move them by pulling on a rope. But to make it easier for her , I attached two eye bolts to each front corner. One or maybe two dollars. A nylon tow strap with hooks on the ends. I think that was $9.95 . Hook onto the eye bolts , attach the tow strap to our lawn tractor ( my wife loops the tow strap around the back of the tractor seat ) and my wife moves the chicken tractors , easy peasy. No muscle strength required at all .
Jason I think it is worth the price as it means Lorraine can now move the chickens easily, this takes the stress off when you are away.
I am 68yrs old & would definitely use that. Cheers Denise - Australia
I view this product as a niche product something that people like Loraine that just cannot move the tractor without it. It seems very well made and easy to use. It's value likely will be based on need.
Beautiful saving the legs of the little chicken 🐓👌✨❤️🙏Lorraine you Always look 👀 so nice in your dresses 👗
I was excited when I saw this! But $155 is a little much but is cheaper than the $500 everything else for the homestead is 😂😂😂
A jack for the tractor. Brilliant!!
Amazing little gadget
How cool and a big help
Just installed a Chick Lift on BOTH ends of my coop. My turning effort is minimal. Chick Lift has a caster wheel version but my double was a cheaper way to go. If I get another larger coop, the casters are definitely in my future. BTW… You will NEVER wear these lifts out! Love this product!
Great upgrade saving one back at a time. Your chicks look and sound so happy. Stay safe and have a great week.
Cool. Usually I would never buy anything like that because it’s such an easy thing to engineer but that works really really well, it’s a great design.
Looks like a great product.
Thank you so much, I asked and you answered. My tractor weighs so much and you made it look simple to move, definitely buying 1 for each tractor!
I saw this last video and was looking forward to this info... it looked great when I first saw this.
Cool add on👍👍
Have a good evening 🌻🌻🌻
Glad to find your channel
The chicken tractor wheel bracket is a great share and will save a lot of backs. ☝🙏💪👉...
We are always looking for ways to improve our systems.. Take a look at my PVC coop in progress..
Good piece of gear!
Excellent product. So sad people are complaining about the price. Homesteading is for years, not the moment. Figure it out. $150.00 for 10 years is $15/yr.....WELL worth it. Great video Jason and it will encourage Lorraine to help anytime. Love her enthusiasm....Nice...
This unit should save about 1 minute per move, 30 seconds each to put the wheels on and take them off. Say Jason moves the tractor 1 time a day average. Over 10 years that's 60 hours more he can spend with Lorraine and Penelope doing fun things like picking garlic.
Now, think about it from a labor cost. If I value my time at a mere $15hr, that's $900.00, or a savings of $710.00.
They need to figure out a bracket system where an inexpensive bracket can be attached to each tractor and you move one wheel set from tractor to tractor...
Thanks so much for showing where to get this thing that I asked about the other day. I know I'm not the only one who asked. I actually took a screen shot of it so I could look for it if you didn't answer back haha. My coop has wheels in back but one is flat and I'd rather it sits flat than off the ground leaving a gap. My problem is that it's too heavy to pick up in the front, and wish I had swivel wheels in front.
What a great addition to the chicken tractor. I loved Lorraine's reaction to the new wheel system. :-)
That is great, thank you for answering my questin about that device. Love that you took it a step further and explained how it works and how to install. I will buy it and will put that u sent me.
Really useful gadget for moving chook tractors and well designed. No doubt the price will go down in time.
Brilliant
That is a pretty slick design. I like it.
Nice our daughter and son-in-law need this
Genius! Going to have to write that in my future shopping plans. Maybe as an auto-reset install a spring or a small chunk of scrap wood above it to bounce the step plate back down into place, ready for next time.
Nice heavy duty kotter pin. I am liking this.
That is seriously amazing!!! Thank you for sharing! We plan to add a chicken tractor to our homestead so will have to remember this. Thanks for sharing
I like that idea. I put 4 wheels on mine (each corner). If you have a bad back like I do then I definitely recommend more than just two wheels and a rope. So much easier to move. I love John's tractor. It's really easy to modify for your individual needs
Thank you for sharing this and demoing it. Looks like a great device we may use when we build our Suscovich style chicken tractor.
That's REALLY neat. If we were planning on doing traditional tractors we'd totally be considering them.
Awesome, I think if you cut the 2x4’s off where the old wheels were , it will even be easier bc those pieces are sticking out past the new wheels. Just a thought!!!
I love that idea
Just got mine ! Going to try it out this weekend 💕
each new thing to make life easier..well, a little easier.
The cost of easily moving a chicken tractor is worth the price. I have seen a lot of jury-rigged wheels that make it nearly impossible for women or older folks to move the tractor! Even being a SS monthly checks it would be worth a one time charge to make life easier with everything that needs doing! Thanks, Jason for putting this out there! Awesome! Something I will look into for next year's meat birds.
I will be buying this as soon as I get my new trator/laying hen run is built.
I feel ya! We live on rough terrain so moving a chicken tractor is a challenge especially in the rainy season. Mud runs don't have anything on homesteading. Lol.
This is similar to what I am having my husband help me fabricate for our chicken tractor. He taught me how to weld but there's still a lot to learn. We are going to use old boat trailer jacks. So if you run across those freebies and know how to weld...it would be an option especially on a tight farm budget.
Thanks for sharing!
You are so smart and creative ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏
Neat invention!
Ummm... this is brilliant!!!
Thanks for posting this Jason. Could be used for a lot of stuff that is heavy and awkward to move.
Getting one! Can’t thank you enough for this video 🙏🏻
Ordered👍 thanks Jason. I’m going to try to add this to my steel rabbit tractor my husband built. Oklahoma has some wonderful winds! The pen never blows away but it difficult to move each day. Hoping this or a pair of them will solve my troubles.
Show it to Ben Hollar. Bet he could make it !
That is a very clever design. Love it.
Thank you, Sow the Land!!!
that is exactly what I had in mind when visualizing my chicken track. Thank you
just an idea dude you could add on a piece of wood where you have bolted on the new wheel so that the wheel lifts the tractor a little higher ?? so it is a little easier to pull and use the outer wheels aswell..just an idea ...cool vids bro ..love the vlogs peace
Keep the good stuff coming thanks
I saw this on the last couple of your videos and wondered when you were going to talk about it! Looked/looks neat!
Saw it in your last video and have been wondseeing if it was something that was available. Thanks for the video!!
Cool!
Fantastic, Thank you.
Game changer,so glade to see this.
❤️
Game Changer!
That is pretty cool, I hadn’t seen one of those before. Thanks for sharing.
Definitely getting one of these. I have one tractor with a coop portion up top and I built it way too heavy! I can move it little by little myself side to side but for longer moves I have to hook up my riding mower. Thanks for showing and reviewing this.
droptozro ,
I also have two story chicken tractors. What's wrong with hooking up to your lawn tractor ? That is my method. Two eye bolts and a tow strap with hooks. My wife easily moves our chicken tractors with no wheels at all because she loves driving the riding lawn mower. I have been experimenting with lighter materials. 2" X 3" work just as well and 2" X 2" also work. It's just a box after all . A bear might be able to break a 2 X 2 but bears generally stay far away from humans. They would be more likely to pull the 1/4" hardware cloth loose.
Well as soon as I get a tractor built I'll order one Jason. That's awesome
wow! now that a cool ideas.
Who Knew! That is amazing! So easy! Gonna get one!😊❤🐔🐔🐔
Awesome! Will save everyone’s backs!
THAT IS ONE heck of a game changer!!
Awesome, thank you for showing us this!
No problem!
Great idea but the price is insane.
If I had a chicken tractor I would SO buy that!
Great looking meal
Makes great sense!
Thank you so much for the info. It's a bit pricey but it looks like it works well.
And sometimes tools are worth their price in gold when it means that everyone in the house can participate in the duties or if it makes their life more simple enabling them to do more things.. especially on something that you interact with a regular basis.
Neat!
Ha, thanks for posting about that unit!
This is amazing for me at age 66 !! Thank you !!!
I was wondering where you got your 'wheels'! Just ordered mine. Thanks, this 60 y/o 'homesteading hippie' as my kids call me can now pull my chickens around the pasture!
Awesome tool
That's awesome!
Love this guys! I bought one through your link. I got to look at this to see how to mount it. It's great! It was getting too hard to pull my Joel Salatin chicken tractor and now it's much easier. They really don't show how to put the lift on anywhere but here. The washers I got were big enough that the bolt head was almost through the washer hole. It didn't make much sense. Maybe they couldn't find the bigger washers like you had? They are still just painted. Mine is already starting to rust. Thanks for showing us this product.
The same principle as the rollers on my workbench, tramp them down, then move the bench, tramp them again, the workbench is solid on the floor. Cheers.
Lorraine is happy!!😁👏🙌👍
Now that is slick!
That was awesome
OMG this is just what I need.
Christmas in July a present for Mom and Dad to make life a little easier

I was going to ask about this when you showed on the last video!! I'm so tired of taking the wheels on and off of my JS C-tractors.
Like it & subscribed.
That is freakin awesome!!!! I love that!!
Need 3 of these...but it's more than 3 times what I expected it to cost. Ouch.
