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!

It's nice to see somebody washing pigs dishes 👍
😀
Lol
It’s great to see you scrubbing all the containers used for feeding the animals. Everything looks so clean. The brothers are so spoilt. It’s great seeing Lorraine picking fresh spinach for cooking the meals, a truely healthy lifestyle. Stay well all xxx
Looks like Penelope got a haircut! She is so pretty and she has a heart as big as a teddy bear. Such a sweetheart.
I also noticed Penelope’s beautiful haircut. She looks so grown up with it. 😍
Rene hall. You said it very well and with so much ❤️ heart. She is so Beautiful 😍 inside and outside. God Bless you and your family 🙏🙏🙏
I love that you call the pigs “brothers” it’s so cute 🥰
Jason, check the local grocery store produce managers to see if they will let you leave buckets for the trimmings to give the brothers. You may have to leave several, or pick up daily, but hey! free food. Homestead is looking good. Let us know how the purple/red spinach tastes.
If it’s illegal for stores I wonder if they could get restaurant scraps? (Well once they are open to public and have scraps)
You should talk to local restaurants for food scraps or farmer markets
@Santina Murphy You mean the "food scraps" from people's plates or the kitchen food scraps? (that could have diseases from filthy people)
Love the way you take care of "The Brothers"....they don't look stress... on the contrary...they are happy and relax....
Love how you provide the animals moistened food in clean pans. It seems so respectful and makes each day a wonderful one until they join freezer camp for our benefit!
I just love how you are with the pigs! Well the chickens too. Your daughter is adorable. You have such a neat family.
Hi..... Jason and Lorraine good job, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🐖🌱🎥👍👍👍
Jason you’re right about the ducks. Ducks will wait until dark to go up at night. After it rains the bugs are even more active and ducks love to get the bugs. Kevin and Sarah at Living Traditions just did a video on this very thing. They have to wait until it’s dark to lock their ducks up because they don’t go in as early as the chickens. Maybe if you set your timer for a wee bit later they’d get in as before for ya? Idk. Just thought it was funny you both are having the same issues with your ducks. Stay blessed sweet family. ~❤️ Lisa
Jason playing soccer with the “brothers “ 😆
When you asked Penelope what she was doing with the chicks - her answer of "Playing with them" was so funny. . ALSO her hair cut !ooks very nice. Beautifu with long or shorter hair.
Laughing so hard crying with you playing soccer with the pigs 🐖. I needed a good laugh.
Your videos show how much work you put into them. Thank you for great content.
I have never seen pigs play ball. So funny. Your garden is awsome. Poor baby chick, makes me feel sad, like you wish you could help it. Penelope has a vivid imagination..very smart.
Lorraine just wanted to tell you that I love your style. You always look so comfortable but elegant.
“Didn’t feel like doing it”. Good enough answer. Lol
Love Penelope's hair cut. She looks soooo cute.
Laughing Penelope is a true farm girl, playing with her food.
Could you put a little mesh across the inside of the gate to your chicken tractor to stop the little fellas rushing the door every time it opens 😂 High enough for them but low enough for you to easily step over.
And wow I can’t believe how fast a mont has passed! The brothers look like the happiest and healthiest pigs ever 😊
Looked like you enjoyed playing ball with the pigs.🐖🐖. And the brothers seem to like having you join them in the pen.😀
About the chick with the leg issue, had the issue with some of my first Cornish Cross chicks when they were around a week old. I laid hardware cloth on top of the shavings and added a thin layer on the top as well. It forced them to grip the h/w cloth instead of a flatter surface that seemed to splay their feet. The therapy worked. :-)
#Sow The Land Also, Jason, please don't take this as me being critical but there are times I've watched you get them back in the pen with your foot instead of picking them up gently to put them back in and there are times when you begin to shut the door on them. I know you are trying to hold the camera, film and talk at the same time but instead of having an injured chick and losing what could feed your family several meals, put the camera down. Cornish rock chicks are notorious for leg problems why potentially injure one with your foot?
Jason maybe some of the restaurants have food scraps you can ask & leave a bucket there 🐷🐷
Looks like you are enjoying your pigs like a kid with a new toy :)
I like how you feed your animals in clean containers.
Nice to see him comfortable around the pigs, he was sooo nervous whe he brought them to his home
thanks, still nervous! :)
LOL Soccer with the pigs. Great to see the chicks out of the brooder and in the pasture setting. Seems like you and Lorraine get a lot done in a day. Penelope is so darn cute and so creative. Her little clay ice cream cones were so cute. I am going to check on those wooden spoons. Be safe. Your pigs are very spoiled. ha.
A man playing with his pigs (must be a Californian) love it 😂😂😂😂 see you in the movies.
Give the pigs 🐖 the grass that’s growing around there home it’s long and delicious
I do
You do such a great job taking care of your animals I love how you washed everything out and take care of them after all it is going into your body and your family
Indeed, he treats them with respect, and play with them. I love to see his videos
I looks like the pigs have grown so much in the last month!! I didn't realize pigs grew so fast!!!!
My dad used to grow extra in the garden just to feed our pigs. He’d grow leaf lettuce, collards, mustard, kale, and other greens just for the pigs. It made for some very lean, delicious pork.
get the ducks a kiddie pool
Really cool seeing how well those chicken tractors are holding up! You’re totally right man. It’s a whole different game now! Grow on!
Peneolpes hair looks so cute!
Woodchips take 3-5 years to breakdown to usable compost but what you can do is let it break down till next year and screen out the dirt that it makes , that’s what I do with the piles of Woodchips I have . Thanks for the Videos
Such a great imagination Penelope has..
Odd place to lay an egg..😄
Have a good evening 🌻🌻🌻
Oh wow, Penelope got a haircut , she looks so cute . I love how you worry about the pigs being bored, I think they really wanted to eat that ball tho, lol.
Why don't you run your electric fence up to the entrance of the pig run so they can be out during the day? Keeps them out of the new wood chips but gives them more room to hangout. Maybe they root up the grass?
Do you plan on selling more spoons and cutting boards?
Suggest checking local organic food stores, farms, farmer's market to see if any will give you their discarded food for free for your animals.
Jason, I think that ball was for you! Lol
Jason you are having a great time with the pigs. I like that compost, nice and rich. 👍
You should ask some neighbors without farms if they will save food scraps for you. Give them a bucket to keep outside their house, and just stop by once a week to switch it out for a clean bucket for them.
You should pull that long grass a side of the pig pen and throw it over to them pigs they sure would love that and you got something that Comes Back Time After Time you can feed them. just a thought
Kickball with the pigs! Lol! Love It!❤
a man and his pigs, lol. thanks for your video
Look at the hams on them Hampshires. That's what them bad mamba jambas is known for.
haha..loved watching you play ball with the pigs
Jason for the pig shelter extend the back side of the pig shelter and place the used compost in the extended section this will help keep the pigs area below a certain level of compost and manure.
mother knows best.
Our pigs would play tug of war with an old rag.
Lovely day on the Land
The brothers weren’t too interested in greens at first, just in case you have something better for them. But, they’ll be happy to eat them. Is the ball edible? No, then they’ll play with it instead. Black gold delivered close to the garden-Nice!
You were so nervous about getting your pigs and now look your playing soccer with them lol
Loved your big wooden spoons especially the light colored ones hope you make more😀
I don't know how you do all this stuff one handed while simultaneously keeping a good angle!
Hey Jason! Have you ever thought of raising rabbits? They are so easy to care for, and their manure is EXCELLENT for your garden... it is cold (you can use it right away, no need to wait). You can benefit with their meat and fur as well. I watched "Living Traditions Homestead" and Sarah has some videos on how to raise them in cages and tractors. It seems they need to spend some time during the day on the ground eating grass. Papa Pepper, and Good Simple Living also use their manure in their gardens if you want to check them out.
Love you channel. You inspired our family to start our own homeatead
Your videos are made with so much care great content. You are doing so well Jason thanks again for the inspiration
Well trained farm animals
Oh Jason I think you had more fun with those legs playing with that ball then they fixed it but it was cute seeing you have fun with the animals it gave me a laugh I would love to have some of your spoons unfortunately I live in Mexico don't think that's going to happen
Around here the pigs are kept entertained by a bolling ball Hole size does not matter haha
Jason: "Pigs! Hold your horses!" Pigs: "Horse? We'll hold a horse for you Jason. You got one?"
We used to give the pigs bowling balls, they last a little longer, lol
Looks like Penelope wants to learn²
Pig soccer? LOL!
I use to run with my grandpa to pick up food scraps from restaurants to feed his pig he would get food in 55ga barrels like 6 of then a night. Didn’t cost him but gas maybe you can do the same? If you have family in a restaurant or cafeteria setting.
Yes! Brothers!!!
Your last vlog where you veggies and gave a garden tour and had2 cabbage largeplants. I cannot always comment..anyways garden is growing lovly. GOD is BLESSING YOU .
LOVE PRAYERS HUGS FROM MICHIGAN. Any land for sale COUPLE acresa for LOG CABIN
They might. Think the orange ball is a pumpkin
L.O.L. love how you play 🐖 pig soccer. With the bothers. That's why they need back rubs. Jason you clean the animal's dishes the best. You're the best with them. FIRST. No one even comes close.
Who says there ain't no ball games on tv, pigs enjoyed it !
Nice hair cut girl. Beautifull
Beautiful compost
You are the only person I follow who even considers soaking chicken meal. Why would that make a difference? I want to learn. I see that you do it with the pigs. Same question!
The spoons are beautiful but sold out. I'll watch for them to be restocked for myself and my daughter.
Suggestion: put the end cattle panels on the inside of the framing rather than outside so you are not relying on the resistance of staples or other fasteners to hold the pigs in, but the strength of the framing.
Once you garden produces more you can give the pigs more
Keep the good stuff coming thanks
If you ask local produce stands or grocery stores for their food scraps most will give it to you.
What about putting the brother pigs behind electric netting during the day under the trees and clean up that area - bring them back in at night for their safety and so you will sleep - it will test how much digging they will do and see if you want the same thing done elsewhere - the house bank would be great for potatoes and sweet potatoes or Kumura (Ku Mu Ra) in my country
In parts of the UK (mostly the North of England in South & West Yorkshire) there is a soft drink made with Dandelion and Burdock, it was for many years the equivalent of Coca Cola.
Hi,
You add equal amount of water in with the chicken feed, let for forment over say 3 days. You'll always be two days ahead you'll be ... Feeding less, food will last longer and the chickens will thicken faster.. overall better..
Love to see your guys channel. Definitely brings inspiration to me . Have a raised beds going, can’t wait to have livestock . Chicken tractors r so neat
Good looking chops and bacon
Good Bless you 👍👍👍❤❤❤
Go to your local Bread stores to see if you can get the bread going out are past their date . Sometimes you can even get the bread for free
Would love a large cutting board if you ever make them!
I’ve learned when a chicken has a hurt foot (not broken) you can massage a stretch their toe and pop their knuckles, does wonders.
Great video. We just moved out first ever batch of meat birds out on grass.
Hi Jason and Lorraine, Are you growing comfrey yet, the non seeding kind? You could ring your meadow on the edge of the thicket by the stream every couple feet another plant. Or on the steep slope, it makes excellent food for the chickens and pigs, even for you in a pinch cause its high protein. The root is not supposedly safe to eat ( yet people used to routinely eat the leaves) It's an excellent poultice for any broken bone or sprain, especially the root. Known as the bone setter. However it is growing excellent fertilizer, either lay leaves around the plants or crumble it or add it to your compost pile, or soak a bucketful in water with a tight lid to make wonderful liquid fertilizer cut with water. An investment that will pay off many times over as it is a permanent planting. dig it up, even pencil thin one inch pieces will grow into permanent plants and the original plant you dig up will inevitably grow again as well. Watch youtube videos about it. I got a bunch of the Russian Bocking #14 which doesn't grow from seeds, only root cuttings. And I would be happy to mail you some as a gift if you want them. I went a little crazy and have about 25 plants growing 2nd year, now. I'm on a city plot and have about 20x60 ft space in a community garden. .So it would be easy for me to just mail some cuttings from them. In your climate you can harvest them like a haircut 6" to 8" high, I would guess about 4-6 times a year. Filled out they can be almost a yard wide, and send up multiple shoots where one shoot is cut off. They have very, very deep roots so excellent trace mineral enrichment. I so enjoy watching your Sow the Land on RUclips, and your carpentry interests me too.I first saw you on Justin Rhodes youtube. Without the spaces, I'm reachable at elwise 44 @aol.com -Elaine Found it fascinating that most covered wagons going West in the 1800's all had a comfrey plant on board for their new homesteads.
I have trouble getting enough compost out of my little yard, even with a large maple tree and collecting all the mowed grass. So I decided this year that I every time I go up to the land on the weekends I am going to pile up more leaves. After each fire I will pile up the ashes and charcoal in the leaves. And every time I must pee, I will pee on this pile. I suspect that if I spend 15 minutes every weekend piling leaves and doing this, I will probably have loads of compost next year.
Love Penelope's hair! She is so sweet-
Grow chickies grow!!!🐥🐥🐥❤
black gold we used to get here in wv but not no more i swear you can grow anything in it good stuff
the Japanese make a dish called kimpira burdock n carrots tastes great
If you spray paint your white buckets black and then stencil your Homestead name on it in white it may solve your algae issue I know it sounds weird but the light getting through the bucket walls grows the algae, I had a similar issue with my fish tank and what they recommended was to not leave the light on so much, and to my surprise once I stopped putting the light on so much my algae problem went away!!! Anyway just my two sense!!
I think around 2:45 as you were closing the door one of the little chicks had a leg that kind of got closed in the door. That may be what is wrong with the one later on in the video around 8:30. I think in both sections of the video it is the left leg.. Could be a completely different chick, but that caught my attention and I thought I would share that with you. I hope this helps and figuring out what's wrong with the baby. Have a blessed day.
Hows life my friends! I've got a question, do y'all make scare crows? If you do, could you please make a vid on that? I am going to have the kids make their own, and think it will be a neat project for them. Thanks a bunch!! Your friend, Chad
Brothers are growing really big now LOL niiiice man :)
