    Best video so far out of the videos put out on Justin's mills. You really got your camera in there and showed us the process. I have watched a few out of the YT'ers that were out there that day and yours was the most informative. Thank you!

    That’s so awesome I totally agree that every community needs a grain mill. They played such an important role in the history of the Appalachian mountains. People need to come together like that again. We still grind our own corn mill out of the same hickory king corn used there and it doesn’t get any better than that.

    I bought one of those corn shellers at a garage sale a few years ago. I was going to sell it but when things went crazy and locked down I decided I better keep it because I might need it some day.

    This was so good to see. It breaks my heart knowing that we are losing the last of the people who know how to take care of themselves as well as others through land, animals and plants...in a good way. I will check out his channel for sure! Wish I could give to the Kickstarter but I'm unable to at this point.
    Jason I found you and your sweet family through Justin and Rebecca whom I found through Jess and Miah. I am currently doing the same thing I did with them, going back to the start of your videos and watching/liking them all to catch up. Thanks for all the tips and knowledge. Bless y'all, stay safe. ✌️

    Corn Meal Mush is THE BOMB. You cook it like polenta (cuz thats what it is), then put in into a cake pan. When it cools, it solidifies into a slab (which you can freeze). Then some cold winter morning, pan-fry slices in butter and drown in maple syrup for a real "stick to your ribs" breakfast. It's easy, tasty, and CHEAP.

    You guys are soo full of heart... in all you do. Thanks for sharing and educating us along the way.
    I remember my grandmother in India going to a grain vendor & pick the quality of grain she preferred, standing by as they took her order, transfered it to a mill... she then waited till they milled and bagged & then a delivery guy came with her to drop her freshly milled grain home. All this time, she watched like a hawk, that the quality of grain she choose, was what was finally delivered to her:)

  • @mpedmar9701
    @mpedmar9701 2 года назад +1

    That was awesome watching that corn shucker that spit the cob back out !! What a neat contraption
    It was neat seeing and learning about the different mills. I never knew grain lost so much of its nutrients so fast, I mean I knew fresh was the most nutritional but what we buy on the shelves in the stores must be void of any nutrition.
    So our grains are nutritionless and because of mass production farms not tending the land properly, if you purchase your vegetables and fruits from the store they are also practically nutritionless.
    No wonder our bodies want to eat more... they are looking for the missing vitamin and minerals.
    Thank you for sharing Jason.
    Stay happy, healthy, hydrated and safe. May God continue to bless you, your family and your adventures.

    Hello to the Sow the land family. Okay you guys inspired me and my husband as well as many other homesteaders to start a garden and we also bought some laying chickens and as soon as possible we are getting some meat chickens to raise to butcher for our freezer how exciting is that okay my question is which is unrelated to this but I am new to gardening I live in Chicago Illinois and I have no idea when to plant my garden I have three started everything in my house as far as the tomatoes peppers jalapenos lettuce Basel Exedra I planted them outside yesterday I transferred them I started kind of early but the weather went crazy on me when do I actually plant my garden what and when do you plant certain things I have no idea anyways I'm so excited to learn the way of homesteading it's been a challenge but it's fun at the same time if that makes sense I'm sure you can relate thank you all so much for sharing your life with me and my husband we watch you all the time God bless

    The 1940 International Harvester "M" tractor had a bull wheel we always used for powering the thresher and stationary seed cleaner. We put oats and wheat through that. You gotta "Sow the Land" to grown the grains! Yes, that Kickstarter! Blessings Abound!

    This was a great video. Can remember grandpa talking about going to the mill to get his wheat and corn ground. I can remember also going to the local co-op with him always raised his own corn for feed for all his animals they would grind it up and put it in feed sacks. Thank you for sharing
