Many thumbs up from a 56 year old here in China. I did ten years of goatsteading, failed, and am operating a coffee shop now. I like your videos, and respect you and your wife very much. Your talk about water being the most important thing is absolutely right. Thanks again for all the great information you provide.
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!!!!Thank you so much for all your wonderful information! You are doing exactly what I have always (I mean my whole life;I'm 52) wanted to do but never knew how to start! My two grown sons are on board and I think we can totally do this with your info!! God Bless You!!!!!!!!!
All your videos get thumbs up from me. I'm getting so much good info from you and appreciate it muchly. I'm binge watching back issues and have to drag my phone with me to get any chores done. Thank you.
No woman (other than my wife) should be subjected to that much of me in one day! Take a break, dear lady, before you go mad! Seriously, that you so much for the kind words and thanks for watching!
I belong to a unity garden in South Bend Indiana and they use honey bee plus mason bee last year they worked great. We give fresh produce to food pantry in our city plus the delivery to disabled people. Remember safety is number one on your homestead.
Missed the mark on this one, I will admit. We have come to the conclusion that we are farmsteading as we are not making our full income from farming but we do produce a profit and sell farm goods more so than the typical homesteader.
I don't like to label it, the less money I spend at the Local Store the better. I have 2 Children with rare Digestive issues ( Genetic ) , and we have that Fresh from home helps better than Store bought.
Red Tool House - Homestead ok, I wasn't sure. Kinda looked like you did the farmstead full time by the amount of animals you have. I to had my own business for more than 30 years until I decided to go in a different direction.
Homesteaders are just farmers that don't grow their own feed and bedding but still obsessively tell their facebook friends that they are "starting a sustainability revolution and are growing everything we need." Also they usually resent the farmers they buy their feed from, and will talk to you all day about the evils of "big ag" while still getting half their groceries from the store.
a little more narcissistic then my view but is some truth in it. It often seems like homesteaders resent farmers who’s sole income is their farm. Joel salitan is a good example. He talks bad about all the other big farmers and was on food inc which is pretty much propaganda against farmers. I understand that homesteaders believe their method to be better but they are on the same side as farmers. We’re all out to produce food and products for others from the land we just have different ways of getting their.

Good informative video.I would like to hear more about the leaf cutter & Mason bees also.

Would love more info about both types of bees as income streams.

william burnett are there additional concerns with Mason bees that are not evident with honey bees?
I would like to hear more interviews about the mason bees and leaf cutters
Shadow B Farms sounds good. I will see if I can in front of them for more info
The difference between homesteading and farming got lost in all that other stuff.
Missed the mark on this one, I will admit. We have come to the conclusion that we are farmsteading as we are not making our full income from farming but we do produce a profit and sell farm goods more so than the typical homesteader.
Apiculture is probable one of the most underrated forms of income; not very complicated, but it can all easily go down the drain.
Would love a video on Homesteading vs. Prepping.
Annie Gaddis he sort of got into it at about 9:30
I would like to hear more information about the non-hunny bees as a source of pollination and income...!
We will revisit that topic this spring.

I think so many of us would benefit from eating cleaner from home. Fast food is killing us all!
Very nice! New Viewer here! Dairy goat farmer.
Welcome!
With a hundred Acres wouldn’t a few beef/ milk cows be pretty easy to raise as well?
I don't have enough cleared land for that yet. 95 acres is all forest land.
Just wondering if you and your wife still have regular jobs or you are full time farming?
Paul Hughes my wife is a homeschool mom and I am self employed. My farm income is a quarter to a third of my annual income
