Left the City and Started a Homestead (First Year TIMELAPSE)

- We moved our family of 4 from the city to rural 44 acres of mostly treed land.
We documented our first few months here and what we accomplished in that time! Many more years to come here on building the homestead.
It's nice to see young people coming back to the homestead life. Your children will have the best childhood memories to remember when they are old and grey.
that means a lot i really hope so! we are trying to find the balance between raised on a homestead and involved and 'making' them do homestead stuff that they may grow up resenting. we have met so many people who are older who have beautiful farms/homesteads and it seems majority of their adult children live and raise their families in the city. we can't figure out why! grass is greener maybe?
@@harvestbooneacresthey’ll flock back in their 30’s they’ll crave that peace
I know that’s now the outcome you may want but I assure you that they’ll carry your legacy :)
Chicken tip.. I dry the used eggshells, grind them and add crush shells to the chicken feed for added calcium.
thank you! we have often given them back to the chickens without grinding them but i imagine they probably like them even better that way
Great studd and wish you all the best! The vegetables you are showing at 13:14, where did you grow these? I guess it wasn't in the clay soil that you covered with soil, was it?
Absolutely love the video and unbelievable amount of work accomplished already .. so happy for your family ❤
You all did so well so fast omg this is wonderful stuff
New here. Love Alberta homesteading and off grid content. You 2 have done so much in such a short time. Good hard working family.
Thanks for what you do
thank you! appreciated :)
The kids are the cutest. Great work guys. 😂
My dream also. Someday!
I do raise greens for my chickens. They absolutely love carrots tops. I grow turnips, harvest tge toos a couple of times while the turnip us growing and then harvest it for me
Have you tried micro greens .? 3-4 day sprout time 7-10 days to feed
I love this. Can’t wait for may
Thankyou 😊
Hi Gary from the UK here, chicken tips if you grind old egg shells up for calcium you run the chance of the chickens eating there own eggs, I use oyster shell grit it's natural and been used for many years and it lasts a long time,
If you want a tip for chicken feeder plus it stops waste of the feed contact me?
Plus got lots more tips and tricks
thank you, we have had some egg eaters!!
@@harvestbooneacres Your welcome, so do you want any more suggestions,plus grate video very interesting and informative keep them coming
For the future, if you plan to free range chickens, leave them locked up for the first week or two of having them, then let em out. Doing so theyll know where home is
that is what we did (we contained them for a while, then one day we let them out to see what they would do!) unfortunately we don't free range anymore, we could never find their eggs and when we did, there were bunches of 20 in the bush somewhere so we didn't know how old they were.
what do you do for income?
hello! most of the work you see in this video was done after work and on weekends as my husband still works!
@@harvestbooneacres Thank you for responding. I'm almost wondering if this is something attainable.
@@asasupplies8749 i think it is if you have the right mindset and if you want it bad enough!! there's so many factors to consider including where you live. we moved an hour out of the closest major city and of course some places are super unaffordable even for raw land. it's not impossible but everyone will have obstacles i'm sure.
