In other words, we want to show you that homesteading doesn't have to wear you out to the point that you give it up. We've seen it happen, and almost came to that point ourselves.

What a privilege it is to live like this, freedom, peace, happiness, eating healthy organic food, this is truly a blessing, the best wealth one can ask for, I am currently praying to get this life...
Your children are so lucky that you both provide this life for them. I was raised on a dairy farm and it was wonderful!
I want THIS for my kids so bad!
Hopefully in the next 5 years
Awesome please adopt me , i'm 62, lol
We get all of our dairy /meat from a farm … we gotta start somewhere
Couldn’t have said it better !
I couldn't agree more! The farm life is the BEST life there is, ever! I will have my own farm someday in the near future after my education from college and from the university. I already have a plan for that, so I am prepared. I am a student in college right now (by the way, it is my first year so I am blessed)! So I am going to continue with my education and go on from there. 😉
You guys are very relatable, real, and honest. I hope you never lose that on your channel. Thanks for all your content! My son and i have been learning a lot
Thanks so much!!
This is just what I needed
I agree it's a pleasure to learn so much from you. You are really encouraging me.
So instead of purchasing cooking spray, you can actually get a bump based aerosol bottle with a spray nozzle from like pampered chef or possibly amazon and put olive oil in it. You pump the top and then the spray nozzle creates a mist of the olive oil (or other oil you like). We LOVE this thing.
That's sounds like the perfect Christmas gift... 😉
Mom gave us all one of these spray pumps years ago, love it! ❤
Thank you, I just ordered one. ❤😊
I use one also. It can be annoying to pump often instead of having one fluid spray like an actual aerosol oil can, but it doesn’t mean it’s not worth it.
pump sprays have never worked well for me is there a trick?
As a wanna-be future homesteader, I am really happy to have found your channel as a reference to any and all of my self-sustaining and sustainable gardening desires! Thank you so much for the work and time you put in this channel, and for allowing all of us around the world to utilize your knowledge and resources! I hope you folks have a lovely day, and happy farming! :^) I'll definitely recommend this channel anytime to my farming friends!
Thank you so much! Very kind and motivating comment!
I agree, same for me. In Russia this was our life, prossessing chickens anytime ourselves, and have neighbors help when we doing a cow or pig.
But I got adopted by Americans 20 yrs ago and America unteaches you everything and instead of self-sufficient you completely dependent to the point of slavery, right. Well after 2020 realizing the reality that is coming down the pipeline with their Great Reset UN and WEF and how they just might starve us into compliance, I realize I need to go back to my roots but have no clue where to go outside of US and where to start or how to even do it. It's painful to see how America literally robbed all the younger generations of this knowledge and parents didn't notice the importance of it. But it's all about perspective, If we only knew how volnurable we are we would want this knowledge not AI.
But anyway im at 1% now, I got one thing going is that I wake up at 4am and go to gym and eat anything good that I can that our God made for our good, but besides that it is frightening. My husband understand we must go to his country since he had a lot of friends and family and land is tax free as of right now but will we be able to before 2030 God willing we will, otherwise this digital prison cells will close and we stuck here Matthew 10:28.
So don't know when you planning on doing it but we must do it sooner than later.
❤ I’m drooling over your storage areas!! Also I love your teamwork! You’re lucky to have each other, and your kids are super lucky! God bless you all. 🙏
Thank you for the kind words 😊
It's so encouraging that you and your husband obviously share like minded goals for your life, your family and your farm.
That is the foundation of a stable and happy and productive marriage.
Your lifestyle reflects your family values.
I love your channel!😊😊
Thank you so much!
Yes it's such a blessing when both husband and wife have the same mind set and goals for their family!!
This is the life I want to start building for my little family. This is beautiful! Great job guys 🙌🏽
Never stop dreaming! Go for it...it really is a beautiful life😊
Loved watching Michelle telling her stories. She is a natural, and I like her idea of getting (her recipe to taste) the actual amounts down on paper. Most great cooks, as she stated cook by taste, and that works for them, but not many are that talented.
I'm soooo glad to see young people like you living a sustainable life. When the refuse hits the oscillating device, so many people will be lost because they don't know how to grow anything, fix anything, cook anything or ...really DO anything! They'll be coming for our stores and gardens!
Michelle is super woman!! You two are amazing!! So inspiring!! My family of 10 lives in Kimbolton, OH. Your content is fantastic! God bless,
Wow, thank you!
Ghee (homemade) is my fat of choice for cooking, sautéing, greasing pans, etc. It’s a great way to make shelf-stable butter as well. But for toast, butter on bread, hot veges, etc, I still prefer butter.
Many thanks for the elaborately produced video. It is very valuable to me during harvest time. the cottage cheese looks great, the rich yellow from the full-fat milk makes it valuable and nutritious. As a medical nutritionists i can only congratulate you on how well you eat. This is how you all stay healthy and the children grow up in the best circumstances. have one good week, God bless you
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed 😊 I really hope we can give our kids a great start in life. Hope you have a good week too!
I really enjoyed this video. The two of you are so real. What you’re providing your kids is a lifetime of good health. We are what we eat. Thank you. New subscriber.
Thank you 😊 Glad you’re here!
Come on, Harvest Right! Send this awesome family a Freezer Dryer
They actually offered us one 😏 We considered it, but we have very little extra space around here, and we didn’t want to lose relatability. Many people can’t afford one, and we want to show that you can homestead simply. Maybe someday 😊
Y'all are doing Amazing!!! Any burden you feel from the homestead community to do something a certain way, throw it off so you can keep running your race well. It's not for you to bear it. ❤️🙌🏼🕊️
Thank you so much 😊 Michelle especially needs to hear that! I’m a little more ok not caring what people think, but Michelle has a harder time with it. She’s doing well, but feels the pressure.
@@morethanfarmersI think everyone wants to share advice and that’s how we all learn. Just keep in mind everyone means well, but things can sometimes come out with a different tone than they meant.
I’m praying I can get to this point to where I don’t need to go to the store for anything. I can make it at home where it’s safer and healthier.
We may not be able to get to the place where we don’t have to go to the store for anything, but it sure is nice to not have to buy as much, and to have healthier food!
Safer for sure in so many ways.
Oh my gosh - so refreshing to hear your comments on why you don’t own a freeze dryer!
😁
SO much knowledge contained within this young couple, I’m so impressed.
A healthy, beautiful life always begins with appreciation for the land that provides it. Your family looks very happy, balanced & healthy! More people need your knowledge....❤
Right on!!
There’s so many homesteading channels that I’ve come across since I really started to give this life some serious thought but just came across your channel today. All I can say is Wow! The more I learn, and I’ve learned a lot from you guys already, the more I realize how much there is to consider when planting or growing just about ANYTHING. Haha. My goodness it’s kind of overwhelming. But I know it’s all trial and error and you have to learn and start somewhere. I have 5 acres and I feel like I have the perfect space to start becoming more self sufficient but I struggle with procrastination. Watching more of your videos might just give me the motivation I need. Thanks for sharing your life and process with the rest of us. God bless.
That's so good to hear! Thank you. It can be overwhelming, but especially if you try to take on too much at once. We started out with babies in diapers, building a house, starting a garden, having chickens, and getting a milk cow pretty much all at once 😬 NOT recommended 😂 Take it one step at a time. Maybe start a simple garden one year, then get chickens the next. Get comfortable with that before diving into a milk cow, get good at a few simple garden things before adding more variety, etc. You got this. Have fun too!
I like you guys ! you teaching people what way they suppose to live healthy & cheap way , this is great lesson for the people have big land like you ! we can live organic way if we all wake up together, we can even live without technology!!!❤❤❤
Oh wow!!! What a dream (for me) to live this lifestyle. It looks so intimidating!! I often think that if I was to do something like this, that I’d need someone to help me through it.
It is a lot of work, and there's a learning curve, but just take it a little at a time. We're a decade in!
Michelle needs her own show "Homestead Woman"!! You guys are totally awesome! I so admire everything you do to live such a happy, simple and healthy lifestyle! Btw, are you adopting? 😊
Same, are they adopting from another country? hah
Thank you! And no...we have no plans to adopt at this point😊
@@morethanfarmers, darn, I was hoping you'd wanna adopt me so I can learn how to homestead correctly. You guys are amazing!! 👏
@@ajrichardson3871 me same
you two are so fun ! I love the wins, and the losses- cuz lets be honest, we all have them! This was a win for sure! nicely done ,Michelle!
Thanks so much!!
Michelle, you are so correct on the "HEALTHY" Store cereals. BTW It was a real pleasure meeting you last night. Awesome family
Nice to meet you too! Small world 😊
My little girls thought that was just amazing that a famous tv person talked to the. Thanks for taking the time. Much appreciated.@@morethanfarmers
Great job to see you both so young and on your homestead game.
Buttermilk can be easily made to add to your cottage cheese. Mix 1 cup whole milk with 1 tablespoon of white vinegar. This equals one cup of buttermilk. Hope this helps!
Keep up the great work!
CG in SC
Thank you! Wonderful tip!
she had her own buttermilk from making her butter....
Staying out of the seed oils also makes you much more resistant to sunburn! I have extremely light skin and now I just tan instead of burn then tan every year lol
I've noticed that I don't sunburn as easily but I didn't know it was the lack of seed oils - very interesting!
What a handsome couple and beautiful kiddos. 🫶🏼
Wishing you the best what a beautiful family.
Thank you so much!
I buy Amish organic cottage cheese and yours looks exactly like what I buy from them. Give yourself a break! You did an amazing job! Thanks for sharing everything you do on your homestead! I so struggle with the tiny 3/4 acre we have and homeschooling our 2 kids as one completely rebelled. If you ever have a free moment can you share how to start your sourdough starter? It would be most helpful. Cody, I so appreciate your testimony as well. Wish you and Michelle lived closer, although Ohio is only an 8hr drive. Thanks for the inspiration! Hoping for a dairy cow someday
Thanks for the support! As for the sourdough starter, I did make one on my own but it wasn't very robust. A friend offered me some of hers and I couldn't believe the difference. I really do believe that starters become more robust over time. So if you know a friend who has one, that would be a great option. You can also order a bit of starter off of Etsy. They aren't expensive at all and will save you a lot of time and grief. Keep dreaming about the dairy cow😉
Your doing good momma ❤😊
Your wife is awesome and the way your doing this together is commendable keep up the good work
Thank you! Will do!
Wonderful information thank you ❤
You are so welcome!
First time watching your channel. You two are so good together. I really enjoyed the content, but more enjoyed how you both are so in to what you are doing. So much information in such a short video.
Thank you 😊 Glad you enjoyed!
You guys should get gamma lids for your buckets, they're so handy!
That drying rack 👌😍
Brb.. going to find a jobsite with leftover screens 🤣
😂
I've been scratch cooking forever. I grind all my corn meal and flour. Fresh veggies even in winter, grow lights etc. Plus I live in a condo. So no farm. Grow veggies in grow bags. During covid I was all set.😊😊
Love it!!
WOW..UR GRAPEVINES ARE GROWING SO NICELY 🍇🍇🍇
Yes! We're excited...now to learn how to trellis them properly😉
I absolutely love you guys. Great video!
My first vid. Y’all are so cute!
Great job! 👍🏼😎
Thank you 😁
You should be so proud of yourselves I think you are a Big Big blessing to all that see your videos May the Lord prosper you at All times and guide you as well.from Florida
Thank you! 😊
I enjoy foods fresh from the farm. I don't even go to grocery stores. I go to farmer's markets for the ingredients I need because farmer's markets sell the most healthiest and the most humane foods and products ever! I don't even buy bread, pasta, butter and other things, because I make them at home. But I still go to farmer's markets for the ingredients I need for all that because I live in a city. Never was fond of the city life because I was born and raised in the countryside (not on a farm but in a trailer park). But I am hanging in there. I know God is in control and He will bring me back to the countryside on His time! His time is far more perfect AND better than my time. For with God, everything is possible! ☺️🙏🤗
I love it! Keep at it 😊
@@morethanfarmers ☺️
Great information about herbs, drying and making teas. Thank you very much. God bless y'all and keep growing. P.S. I have basement envy! ( I grew up in Nebraska and always had a basement, but no basements or root cellars here in TN due to rock and high water levels).
Great content! Thanks you guys
This might be one of my favorite videos you have made. So informative and simple and to the point!
Now I see why so much food, very good idea and way healthier. 😊
Just found your channel and have to say THANKS! You guys are great! ✌🏻🙏🏼❤️
I love how one of the kids was scooping cottage cheese out of the bowl!! Lol You guys are awesome!! I glad I found your channel!!
In spite of excessive heat during the last 2 weeks here in our area of Arizona, I did harvest two cucumbers this morning - I have a tiny garden so am really happy to have now harvested five cucumbers on the one plant (have 2 more cucumber plants but they are not yet bearing). I support the bush cucumber plants using tomato cages and I have found that works fine (the square tall type at Home Depot or Lowes or Tractor Supply, Menards, etc.). Abt. Cottage cheese - most store type have a lot of salt. Don't know if any or how much was used for your home-made scratch cottage cheese. Glad you enjoyed the finished one.
I love that yall are on the same page
absolutely LOVE this video, and love how real u guys are! keep up the amazing work
You guys are a Godsend! I'm glad I found you. Thank you for being so amazing.
You guys are awesome. You seem to work well so well together. Love all your videos so please never stop.
Wise people. God bless you guys.
Yes! Recipe book please! ❤️
Absolutely wonderful to watch
So cool thanks 🙏
Love your videos ❤
I look forward to seeing your canning recipes. Thank you for sharing all that you do. Your videos are the best!
I love this kind of video. Please keep making video like this. The Homestead tour and daily cooking from garden
I've been binge watching! Love your content and family! Great find! Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and E. Minister. Prayers for you 🙏🏻 all
Thank you so much!
Great video! Always very informative - suet to lard, cottage cheese and your bread looks wonderful! Such abundance in your garden! Good job with your homestead, Lovely Family~~💛💚💗🤎
Thanks for sharing, You are admirable!
You guys are amazing!
This really makes me happy. I am starting my farm soon.
Everything looks good and that bread looked DELICIOUS!!
What an excellent video, you guys are really an inspiration, keep doing what you are doing!
The best part of this video was watching you live my life with my littles 😂 it's so fun and such a blessing to see other people living this life and being teased by the little guys dead snakes too 😂 this was my last week 😂
So nice! So sweet to have such a rich life and land to live off of. Such a blessing ❤
Your bread looks awesome!
You can make buttermilk at home with just whole milk and a little bit of vinegar. Let it set for 5-10 minutes and you have buttermilk.
Its great watching young down to earth hard working couple as you are !!.Well done.
Watching you reminded me by my parents and grandparents homesteads. Good Ole Days, happy, healthy full of laughter and learning
Love your drying rack
Wow you had such beautiful and healthy looking garden plants and herbs.👍
Love watching you two. I watch over and over. I do not know where you get your energy ❤
That guy is built! She is a work horse.
Y’all inspire me. I wanna do this for my grandkids
Ohhhh waffles 😋😋😋
I ❤how apple mint sounds! I don’t think we have that in the UK. Chocolate mint! Does that taste like chocolate? We have regular mint and spearmint.
Sometimes stems are actually toxic in some herbs. Like sorrel for example, take the stems out before eating the leaves. I learnt that one the hard way.
I love learning stuff like this. I miss drying herbs for tea and haven’t done it in years. But this is inspiring me to do it again.
Never seen tallow be rendered before….interesting! Thanks for all the info.
🤩
It is refreshing to see two young people, so knowledgeable about the old ways of doing things. Where do you find women that know how to make cheese, homemade bread, medical, herbal remedies, and this day and time?
Few and far between for sure! 😁
I love every video!! You guys are adorable :)))
Fantastic video!! That drying rack is 🔥🔥🔥 😄 We hope to be like you when we grow up. 😊
Haha...Thank you!
Thanks for doing what you’re doing educating the world
Thank you for the quality content! Learning a lot from your channel.
Inspiring! And I learned a lot.
This is incredible
Thank you all very much. My wife and I enjoyed it and got a lot out of it. God bless y’all.
so industrious!!!!! amazing❤❤❤
You guys are amazing! God bless!
I’m so a new subscriber! You guys make me hopeful that homesteading is possible for me and mine. I’m probably really late and you have probably figured it out already, but I make my own cottage cheese because I eat so much! Like 2 big tubs from the wholesale stores in one week. So I do the yogurt boil setting on my instant pot and then after it’s done I put 1/4c lemon juice or white vinegar(as a last resort 😉), 1/4tsp salt into the 1 gallon of milk and let it sit for 20/30minutes. Drain and add a little whipping cream to the batch. That is the closest I have gotten to the store bought ones. We don’t have rennin readily available here in Hawaii and I’m very impatient waiting for things to be shipped.😂 I probably will be binge watching all of your videos tonight. TBH. 🫠
Thanks for the tip! So glad you’re here. I hope you can find your way to homesteading, and I’m glad we get to be a part of it!
You guys are wonderful!
Usually people discover the healthy way after serious health problems in mature age. I wonder where your wisdom came from at young age - my guess is from parents?
Partially. A lot of it started when I (Codi) had some serious teeth problems. A friend recommended a book, and it got me started on the healthy track. Michelle was always more that way, and we grew into it together.
So nice to see such a young couple truly living this life. ❤
Omgosh you all do everything perfect and right
You're so kind.. even if it's not true 😉 We try our best, but there are lots and LOTS of mistakes.
amazing lady and kids you are a hard worker and so are they keep it up
You are truly blessed
OMG you guys! I’m 70 and likely further down the road, just passing on which needs to be passed on, but you are amazing, put past that, in my path down the road, I’ve not traveler, as amazing as you!!!!!
Keep bringing your experience!!!
Sorry, no more woo woo!!!
Nice! 👍🏻
I love this!!!
this was really entertaining to watch, thank you!
I have to say, there's nothin like home grown flavors! Keep up the good work.
