Congratulations to all the Hollar family on the birth of their new daughter Elizabeth Rose.
Listening to three men that love family, know the joys of children is a blessing to me-makes my day better…
Every time I watch you guys I think of the old expression.IF IT'S TO BE ...IT'S UP TO ME.. A sign like this should hang in every homesteader's workplace. Loved this podcast and know that you guys get more relaxed each time you do one. Thank you for taking the time and effort to do them.
Congratulations to the Hollars! Praying for recouping time for Meg. Great time for the boys to take over meals for the sweetest Mom in their lives. God bless each member of your family.
Buggy has a Sister! Congratulation Ben!
Death, new life, and carburetors. Strange episode but good somehow.
Wow, crazy week. You did a great job jason, now you know you can react in an emergency. Congratulations to been and Meg, what a blessing. Al always adapting infrastructure to fit your needs. You guys are such an inspiration.
Ha Ha! A burst of energy is typical of pre-delivery. It might be hard to tell a burst from the usual with Meg, but there you are! Baby Elizabeth arrives in her own sweet time! Congrats!!!
"It might be hard to tell a burst from the usual with Meg." Truer words were never spoken in a comment.
I love ALL Homestead Shop Talk Podcast videos!
Yay! Thank you!
I was always told sheep are miserably stupid to the point of seeming to seek their own demise.
I am STUPID HAPPY for Elizabeth Rose, Lilyanna's baby sister.
Ben is an Uber Dad, he delivers. 😛
I don’t know about anyone else but listening to Ben talk about making that breakfast made me feel very hungry all the sudden! Congratulations!
Hi all. Ben congratulations of the birth of Elizabeth Rose. Such a beautiful baby. I’m subscribe to each of you and Ben I followed you when you were still travelling. So sorry Jason about the sheep. I was near to tears watching this weeks video. Ben loved your expression ‘our hearts are full’.
Congrats Ben and Meg
So happy Elizabeth Rose is here. Best wishes to Meg, Ben and family.
❤Buggie has a baby sister! Sorry about your sheep. My Dad was a cement finisher in Southern California and Erie Pa for 40 years. He had All the tools. Have a Blessed week, people!
Kale is what grocers used to line the front of their meat/deli display cases!
We had issues for the first couple of days with feeder lambs challenging the electric fence. If we do them again I'm seriously considering a sheep-shaw arrangement, or a rigid fence in the center of our pasture and only letting them out into pasture sections with electric fence and moving the electric fence after putting them into "containment" for overnights.
Totally agree, us too. Justin has a portable ram enclosure.
Congratulations Ben and family. How wonderful for Buggy to have a sister. You gentlemen always have lots to do. There are really tough weeks, and then there are glorious miracle weeks. Have a breat week.
Ben, our first daughter was like Elizabeth, she never cried, i even asked the doctor if she was okay. She was. Good news is she is now 33 and has always been super chill and laid back. Congratulations, so happy for you and your beautiful family. 👏👏👍👍💐💐👩🍼
Ben: Congratulations on a baby girl!
Jason : So sorry for the loss of the sheep
Al: Good luck on the mini truck
Y'all have a great week! Congratulations Meg and Ben on sweet baby Elizabeth!
You guys deserve an academy award for this episode. I so enjoy your blog. Blessings and favor to you 😂and families and stay with it, you're such an inspiration to others, young and older ❤❤❤.
I'll only eat dinosaur kale. It's delicious! Congratulations, Ben & Meg. Can't wait to meet Elizabeth Rose. What a beautiful name. Please don't nickname her! Lol
In every joke, there's a little truth. Lol
Sadly, our neighbor’s beautiful horse was spooked by a bear and ran into the metal gate. She had to be put down. Vermont has a lot of bears. I’m so sorry for your loss, Jason. Ben,,,,I have been waiting patiently for you to CATCH Elizabeth Rose. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF YOU. I cannot wait to see how Buggy reacts.
Get a couple LGD'S Jason. They will ward off predators before any animal can get spooked. But get 2. They will be happy to have a budy to work with. Male & female. The females tend to REALLY watch over mom's & babies. Excellent for new mommy cow's, too. Good luck, & I'm sorry for your losses. God bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 ❤️ ❤
What a week for all of you, thank you for sharing. Congratulations Ben on the birth of Elizabeth Rose.
Northern lights here, too!! It was crazy from 9pm to 2am. I saw it much better with the night mode on my camera! Much better than the naked eye. I wouldn't have thought anything of it, except for my aunt from South Carolina texting me. I'm in Cleveland for a month right now, so OF COURSE I went to the lake! With hundreds of other spectators looking across the pitch black Lake Erie! It was stunning. I captured so great shots and one in particular of the Big Dipper in the middle of the shot. Just great! I didn't lay down back at the hotel till 3. WOW!!
Oh Jason, how heartbreaking. I'm so sorry for your loss. That is so sad on all sides.
Al, I'm with you on the greens thing. I love salad and raw spinach. Nothing else. Unless it's the kale ground up in a green juice.
Ben, I am so happy for you and your expanding family. I cheated a bit. I watched your video before I saw this. So I knew you had BIG news. Give my best to Meg and the rest of the fam. I know everyone is just over the moon happy! And don't forget little Elizabeth Rose. ❤🎉😊
Reminds me of when I was a youngster and snuck out by the porch, seated with my dog listening to my dad n his buddies sitting chatting while enjoying their beer. You guys bring back memories 😊😏🙂
Congratulations Meg &Ben
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Haha. “Make them wait. You go Jason” 😂. Congrats Ben and Meg 😊
Al. I grew up in Canada and Swiss chard was a staple. It's not southern. It's way better than kale. Congratulations Hollers. Jason you have handled your week like a pro. What a crazy week for all.
The best part about kale is that you can grow it all summer, and winter long. It's not the tastiest green, but it's healthy, and goes good with arugula, which also can be grown in the heat of summer, and also in winter. Spinach, and lettuce bolt too fast here in Missouri, but I definitely prefer spinach over kale. I can grow kale in the green house in freezing temps with a frost cover, as well as spinach, lettuce, and arugula can get damaged if below freezing however.
When I go out for steak, I would take the kale home to my pet rabbit in a "doggy" bag,
Congratulations 🥳 Ben & Meg.. sorry for your loss Jason.. good job on the chicken tractors Al..
So happy for Hollar family and especially Buggy to have a sister! I loved bed how she said if she had another brother he could stay outside! 😂
Congratulations Ben on Elizabeth! I had never had swiss chard until last year, I now love it.
Ben, you can grow cole-crops through the winter if you have them established before getting real cold, but you need to hoop them and put frost -blanket over them and just uncover them to harvest and do your harvesting on a sunny day.
👏 Congrats Ben and family.
Sorry about the Sheep Jason
As always good going AL.
i listen to this on the way up to our off grid cabin property. Great way to kill some time and listen to our favorite channels shoptalk.
Thanks guys
Congratulations Hollars!
Good evening y'all, Great video. Sounds like great projects coming up. Congratulations Ben on the new baby Elizabeth Hollar.
Some types of kale are better than others. It also depends on how you prepare it.
Good to see you relaxed and talking now the baby is here.
Great podcast y'all and once again, congrats to the Hollar's on a baby girl added to the family. Y'all have a Blessed day.
Al, check Lorraine's truck for vacuum leak, usually in the air hoses. At the age of that truck, all hoses are suspect. Good Luck!
Lorain???
It's Gina's truck !
Al, I just finished the off grid playlist and am working back to the beginning of Lumnah Acres. I’d love to see y’all offer a workshop of how to finance all of the building for an operation like you are creating on the off grid property. Lumber sales, animal sales?? Not everyone can be a successful RUclipsr. I love Gina. AND You are amazing!!! I can’t imagine how much information and skill experience you are holding in your brain.
Kale was something I always knew as a winter feed crop here in New Zealand, when it became a super food I was a little perturbed to say the least.
Sucks about the lambs Jason, you weren't to know, horrible learning curve.
You will figure the truck out Al, once you know exactly what you are wanting for it.
Glad to hear that Elizabeth is such a blessing, Hollar family will have fantastic summer together.
I grow swiss chard every year, and I'm next door to you, Al, in VT. Us old Vermonters love our swiss chard, beet greens, anything green. And the swiss chard and eggs recipe sounds pretty awesome to me! Ben, Meg and family HUGE congratulations to you on Elizabeth Rose. Jason, I watched your video about your sheep, and I felt very sad, but you handled it with your family just as well as it could be handled. I wish you all a great week!
Love these conversations you three have.
Congratulations Ben and Meg! 💕💕💕
Congratulations Hollar family!
My condolances to you Jason. I know you must feel bad losing those two lambs. I'd call the guy and see if he had a couple more and relace them. Don't let it get you down.
Al, it sounds to me like you may have some trouble with the valves.
CONGRATULATIONS Ben! Sounds like the perfect baby.
Good Easy Laid Back baby equals time to end the baby making years. Good Luck & Congratulations
🎈🎉👶🎀💗
CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 Our youngest is named Elizabeth Rose (she will be 20 at the end of this month 😱)
Congratulations Hollar Family!
Congrats Ben on the new daughter. Cheers, great podcast.
Swiss chard is good cooked briefly in boiling water, drained, buttered, drizzled with vinegar and sprinkled with salt. Easy. Yummy. It’s a veggie side dish in our house. I chunk the stems and add to water first to cook them longer than the leaves.
What a week it was! Sorry about the baby lambs Jason. And congratulations Ben and Meg on your beautiful baby girl💝 Yes those northern lights were visible here in Ohio around about 10:30 ish for us as well. Pretty awesome! Love you guys💖
So cool that you could see the northern light. We have lot of aurora in the winter months in Norway 🇳🇴.
Congratulations to your family Ben. Elizabeth Rose are a lovely name ❤️❤️
Love from Norway 🇳🇴.
OK fess up Al, you have a tool Cat
So, I guess this means that Ben will be passing out cigars to Jason and Al. Right? (ha!)
What a great episode, even tempered with the horrific story of Jason's loss of the sheep. I saw his video in which he shared the discovery of that lamb. How horrible....so we had a death that was balancing out the new life of Elizabeth Rose Hollar.
Super thanks for continuing to make and publish these episodes on Friday. It's one of my most anticipated channels.
Congratulations Ben and Meg🎉
Nesting, its crazy, you clean everything, move mountains, you're brain is on over drive.
Death and birth in this one. Commiserations to Jason, and congratulations to The Hollars 🧸
You need a cement foaming powder like the foaming insulation. Also you could jack it up like a mini big truck. And, finally, Congratulations to Meg and Ben for your new Elizabeth!!!!! Awesome.
Ben, congratulations on your "full Hearts"! BTW you talked me into putting Swiss Chard on my next shopping list. I have eaten Kale as you described cooked with eggs and bacon and liked it. Sounds like Swiss Chard is better. Jason, 😭over your sheep
Clun Forest sheep is a rare english breed of sheep. Sorry about your loss.
Jason sorry to hear, I'd think one of those dogs came by and terrified the sheep . So they were already had high heart rates and then the tangling in the fence with that stress probably caused a cardiac event. We've had dogs wind up rabbits in cages so bad they ran circles inside their cage until they died.
Congrats on baby Elizabeth, watched your "baby reveal" vid :). On swiss chard, I grew up growing and eating it. It's tastier (sweeter n less earthy) than beet greens, Al. I don't eat it raw, we never did & it's high in oxalates, like basically all deep-green leaves are, so best to not eat raw but rarely probly. And if one eats a lot (&/or lotta high oxalate foods all together, one may have to be more cautious cooking in water and discarding the water, vrs. adding directly to stir-frys and & soups. I'm in west-central WI born m raised. My mom grew up in Milwaukee area, but was born in TN & her parents from New England, her mom at least was from NH. So, that's why unlike most Midwesterners, we didn't call casseroles hot dish, unless it was a newer-to-mom recipe with that in the name, like taco hotdish :). Anyway, her mom didn't garden tho, she learned it more from my Dad's mom, but I never knew her to grow much greens besides lettuce & cabbage so idk where got it from. I know her grandparents did have some sort of farm when she was little & spent some summers there. One thing she always shared was the joke ( half serious ?!) from New Hampshire that you better lock your car doors in summer, otherwise someone may fill it w their extra zucchini ;). I have been to NH, twice. The 2nd time I remember more and we drove out, went to close down a family cabin. Spent time w mom's college friend in VT and went to top of Mt. Mansfield & the Von Trapp family home/museum. Flew out of Boston. (Had awful earache on flight home).
Another great podcast. Keep them coming!
Congrats Ben and Meg.. wonderful that Buggie has a Lizzie....sweet. sorry Jason about the loss... And Al .. keep on going..maybe you can include your daughter in some videos. Would love to see how she fits into your homestead life..but guys . Great podcast as always
Should be a Rosie.
We have always eaten swiss chard. I have had it fried with garlic and butter, also boiled and in a salad. I love it, and I am 82 years old.
Man, I'm so sorry for the loss, Jason. Not the best way to be introduced to sheep.
Maybe Jason should put up a Trail Cam on the farm in several locations. But I would say you had a Dog, or something. Sorry for your lost.
Hollar family congratulations. I like the way you came to the name of your daughter Elizabeth.
I think it would be great to have some of your T-shirts hung and for sale when you do your classes. Don't miss an opportunity to display your goods. Just a thought.
Greg Judy uses a Russ Wilson designed anti freezing trough waterer
Hi guys, happy Friday
Congratulations Ben 😊👍
sadly netting is not the answer with sheep, 3 hot wires or netting on the outside
Swiss chard is better than spinach. We love it. My rabbits love it too.
I dont like kale, but I do like beet greens and swiss chard.
Congrats Hollar's on Elizabeth Rose, such a little cutie. And Ben the northern lights were brought to you straight from HAARP! Glad you got to see them though.
Here in Germany we roll ham and a mild cheese slices (Lyoner) in swiss chard and bake it in homemade tomato sauce in the oven. Delicious!
Saw Northern Lights in the U.P. of MICHIGAN. Back in the 1980'S. A few trips we saw. Stopped the van and 👀 WATCHED.
Went for hours.
We just drove after a while.
Lots of green's.
AMAZING. We didn't know at first what was happening. I thought I was seeing things at first. L.O.L.
There's no light pollution up there. Drive for miles and see no traffic or towns.🎉🎉🎉
Great, you saw in your backyard.GOD BLESS YOU AND 🙏 AND YOUR FAMILY
LOVE HOW YOUR SON❤ HAD ELIZABETH ON HIS HEART.
ELIZABETH ROSE 🌹 ♥️.
JASON, I'M SORRY THAT 2 SHEEP DIED.
AL, GOOD TO SEE KEN WITH YOU.
SE MICHIGAN 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
The bottle fed goats I've had are the worst for challenging their borders trying to get to the humans. Ive had to stall them securely to keep them from hurting themselves at night.
💕💗💕🙏🙏🙏 great episode, new baby, death of two lambs, and life goes on. You all three are a joy to watch. Such compassion and love! May The Lord Jesus Christ bless all your homesteads.💕💗💕
You guys should do the heat system that they used at Mcinleath in wale, at the eden project. Build a table with edges, and store o post underneath the heat it puts off makes the engines on top grow and Stay warm.
Congrats Meg and Ben , Elizabeth Rose is beautiful.🎉❤❤❤
Do you have a trail camera set up to watch your animals . sorry about what has happened to your wheel
S. chard is technically a beet. It has just been bred for greens rather than root. I live in N Illinois. Been growing it for years.
My first was like that, I felt like hey this parenting stuff is easy what are people complaining about, then I had the second one, didn't sleep for a couple of years, sheesh.
Another great chat lads, and welcome to Elizabeth Rose, I saw her on Ben's vid and she's a keeper!*! 🥰
Ambition Strikes did a hydroseeding build. Hardware cost was less than $1000. Consummables was $300. They used a trash pump with an IBC tote.
Congratulations Ben. So sorry Ben.
Check your vacuum lines. Sounds like you have s vacuum line leaking
“Yeah I’m just gonna get my weed eater out” 🤣🤣
Al, it sounds like you are flooding the carb.
I grew swiss chard when I had a garden. It is really nice and not like kale. Swiss chard is like a lettuce with flavour and you can eat the ribs as well. Raw, steamed, whatever it is good.
Swiss chard is just a little milder than beat greens which both go great with pasta or potatoes. Kale is good in soups like Zuppa Tuscana . All three are great cold weather crops but for salad nothing beats lettuce.
I love all three of you guys and love the shop talk!
We grew Swiss chard when I was a kid, my dad steamed it and put salt & butter on it.
BTW. These were the BEST Northern Lights since 1854. We will see them again in 20 years. According to Mr. Google head. Lol
