    I started an urban backyard homestead and have been amazed by all the food I have been able to grow. Your video inspired me to keep going. So impressed by your homestead!!

    Nice junk of newly cleared land and an excellent woodshed, and now you have bees, it’s been a good year! Amazing to see how much the girls have grown and how much they’ve learned in two years!
    Well done!❤️

    Welcome to Canada! You built such a lovely homestead, kudos to you four. Those goats are adorable!! A few thoughts: have you started a few compost heaps? If you are low on soil the best thing is to compost all your kitchen and garden scraps, but also the nutrient rich manure from your goats and chickens (not sure about pigs). You will have incredible soil in no time. Another idea: if you want to save soil/garden space, you can grow potatoes in just piles of straw, look it up, so easy to grow and harvest. Best of luck!

    • @FullonFamilywithoutlimits
      @FullonFamilywithoutlimits  3 месяца назад +1

      Thank you 🙏🏻 yes going into year three gardening we actually have quite a bit of compost now. Waiting for some dry weather to muck out the pigs so we can replace what we put on the garden this year. I think it’ll take a few years of making as much as we can to have a super deep garden. One step at a time. I don’t see much straw here, but it is around so I’d like to do potatoes like that!! Thank you for commenting. - Kristen

    Wow, you’ve accomplished a lot in what my husband and I consider a very short time, good on you! Your knowledge of homesteading seems vast, coming from a city-like dwelling … amazing. We moved to a smallish homestead in Rose Bay, N.S. in 2018, growing our own veggies, and have chickens. Bought a very old home needing a great deal of work and had great dreams until 2020 hit … then the focus somewhat changed. Oh well, have to carry on no matter what. It’s a changed world and sadly still changing. You and your family are most assuredly on the right track. Great to see how involved your girls are. You moved from a beautiful and historic country, the landscape there seems to have drastically changed in the past few years too. In our little area every second license plate now is from the province of Ontario, many more making moves. Some coming home and some escaping city life. Anyway, time for our breakfast. A belated “welcome” and all the best ! … L&Y 🇨🇦

    Wow you have all achieved so much in such a short time. It was lovely to see and remember those sadly gone and the new life that has come.
    Your family continues to amaze me every week with your knowledge and your teamwork. I love that you use whatever is available and make it work.
    I so wish I had even one person I could share your channel with as you deserve way more subscibers than you have, sadly the circumstances of our family means we were isolated before Covid now it just gets worse with our final 'contact' of my son's respite centre being closed down and society changes we are pretty much totally isolated (we are considered parasite's apparently). Anyway sorry "squirrel 🐿️" moment back to you.
    How did I miss you got permanent residency I am so so pleased for you 😊

    As a Sevenoaks, Kent transplant living in America for 30 years, listening to you go over your transformation, made me slightly homesick.

      One cherry tree! Our trade fell through sadly. We have just made our order for fruit trees and bushes. Can’t wait to start putting trees back and adding colour.
      Hoping to develop the bee garden this year and encourage a wider diversity of birds, bees, bats etc Currently looking into cover crops that are pollinator friendly.

    Hi guys. I just came across your channel and love what you're doing. We've been seeking to do the same thing after visiting Canada for 6 months in 2018 and again in 2019. Could I ask what visa pathway you took? My family and I have been looking for suitable pathways, but we're just not sure how to achieve this. We really long to homestead ourselves and live a more sufficient lifestyle which and believe Canada has the best opportunities for this type of living. Any advice you could give on visa's would greatly recieved. Thanks

    • @FullonFamilywithoutlimits
      @FullonFamilywithoutlimits  5 месяцев назад

      Hi James, we came across on Nova Scotia Provincial Nomination Scheme. NSNP. Basically, it’s a way in if they can’t find enough labour for a specific job. Look up Labour Market Impact Assessment to see what Labour they’re short of. Once we had the work permit we had 6 months to start the process to apply for Permanent Residency. Hope that helps. All the best with your dreams!!! Great to have you following along. Kristen

  • @jamesbullen2957
    @jamesbullen2957 5 месяцев назад

    Hi Kristen thank you so much for your reply did you need a job offer for the pnp ?

    • @FullonFamilywithoutlimits
      @FullonFamilywithoutlimits  5 месяцев назад

      No problem. Yes. They have to prove they can’t recruit a Canadian Citizen and get a number that goes in the work permit application.

    What visa as a family did you manage to get to move to Canada from England?

    • @FullonFamilywithoutlimits
      @FullonFamilywithoutlimits  4 месяца назад

      NSPN Nominated by Nova Scotia. Needed a LIMA number to prove position couldn’t be filled by a local. Came over on a two year work permit and then had to apply for PR within 6 months of getting work permit.

    • @FullonFamilywithoutlimits

      I could get open work permit off back of Marcus, but I didn’t as was settling the family rather than working.

    • @FullonFamilywithoutlimits
      @FullonFamilywithoutlimits  4 месяца назад

      People views differ on this and that’s fine. Each to their own.
      Our stance is, if we’re going to eat meat, we want to know how it was raised and fed. Sure way to do this is to raise ourselves.
      We will all naturally withdraw from over playing or spending time with the animal in the lead up to butchering, as obviously it is sad. We also take time to thank the animal for its sacrifice.

    Great parenting skills there! I like this film showing your trials and tribulations, but you really need to get a grip with the kids. You've got too much to do to put up with that immaturity!
