***** About Living Traditions Homestead *****
Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out new videos every week! We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we give up the rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the country.

My family just bought a farm and will be moving to MO this weekend!! Feels like a dream, so excited to get there and farm the way we want!!
Congrats!!!
Welcome to Missouri ❤
Welcome to Missouri 🐞
Welcome to the Show Me State!
How awesome!! Congratulations!
Moving your sprout house to the greenhouse and connecting them would save you a lot of schlepping. We used to grow commercially and did just that and it worked quite well for us.
Great advice !
yeah, get one of those conveyor belts with the rollers like they use in Manufacturing producation!
Great idea. I am going to move my stuff and connect them thank you
@@ClickinChicken Two of us would pick up the entire table, so we never had thandie the plants.
Lol@“schlepping” lol
It just warms my heart to see you both work together to get things done. You both are truly blessed.
It's great to see!
Back in the 70s we used. Mushroom manure. Our fruit trees flourished! We even pruned our neighbors orchard also. He was thrilled. He said he never had such a beautiful crop. He would drive around to all the neighbors and give them apples from his orchard. Those were the good old days!!!!
Barbara Anderson- Yes, the 70s were the best! And that is not just because I was in my 20s. I am using the skills I leaned back then to live off the land today and share what I can with others locally. There are things I dropped along the way, but the organic gardening keeps us healthy and we raise grass fed beef. This channel is one of the best I have seen for showing how to live the good life, grass roots style. And bravo they can make a living by their own hand! I am learning more about the larger green houses and hope to have one. NH winters are long. It would be nice to extend the season. ~ Diane
We live very close to a mushroom farm and we fairly regularly go get a pickup truckload of the mushroom compost. We use it to amend my garden, and add to our tree holes when we plant. I also used it last year to hill up my potatoes and had a bumper crop. We just moved our orchard to a place closer to the house which will be easier to get water to. I plan to side dress those trees before the rain tomorrow..
Mushroom compost is amazing stuff!!
Sounds like a great time!!
Everything I've ever bought from Stark Bros. has thrived, and I'm in CA! Love that company. ❤❤❤
Nice!! I'll have to check them out!!
My favorite thing during grape harvest was putting some of them in the freezer, they tasted like little grape popsicles but totally natural and I could eat a couple handfuls.
Oh I'm going to have to try this!
You both are such an inspiration to follow...! You put so much time, energy, and love into your homestead...! You give such great ideas to follow...! Have a GREAT day and God Bless...! 🤠❤🙏🎄🍇🤠 Shelly
I agree!!
I have eaten low carb for many years and feel best eating this way. I too have a bowl of berries with my homemade high fat yogurt everyday. I love watching you two working together! You are such a blessing!
I do berries and yogurt also!
Tell me about your homemade yogurt!! I make a goat milk yogurt and was really wondering if it would be considered keto without sweetener 🤔
I am sorry , but I haven't comment'd in a while.
I just wanted to say, I enjoy your videos so much that I wish I could give more than one thumbs up.
You always have multiple topics that I enjoy.
Thank you for sharing.
Aaaaaddddmitt it!!! You're Beth and Manley Wilder INCARNATE!!! Thank you for sharing the wealth of knowledge!!! True stewards of the earth!!!
Y'all are always a happy, cheerful pair. Good to see you!
So great to see green grass and green plants... here in Minnesota we are so deep with snow yet. It was -9 this morning. Spring will come. I would be interested in a video some time after u have lived in the new house a while a video of what u love n don't love about it and if there are things u would do differently what are they.. May your season be prosperous and blessed!
Kevin and Sarah keep on keeping on. You both do so good. I enjoy your videos. As much as I tried to implement your weed fabric in the garden. My health has now stopped me. Both of you please keep doing what you do.
YOU BOTH INSPIRE OTHERS VERY MUCH!!!
I agree
Great job Kevin and Sarah, you worked the covering for the grapes better than we thought it would go . You two worked it like a pro!! The sprout ar looking good and the plants are doing wonderfully. You'll be ready for the seasons planting. Stay safe and keep up the great videos and keep having fun with what you are doing. Fred
When we planted our grapes and berries we mowed the rows as close to the ground as possible, dug our holes, laid down the fabric and then cut our holes. It went quicker than we thought it would.
🤔 Morning! Kevin, next time you need to do a project like this, consider rolling out the fabric the length that you need, and then folding in in half- length wise. This way you can burn your holes right where you want your plants to go, dig your holes, and then you just flip the other side over the plant. I hope I painted that picture right, for you! 😆😆
I was thinking the same thing:)
I second this suggestion.
Was coming to say this also.
Great idea! 👍👏👏
I agree!!
You've come a long way baby! I have enjoyed your videos so much, and have learned so much along the way. Enjoy your new home and keep smiling. God's Blessings to you both.
Also just planted a Mulberry tree at our back yard. My husband and I looked for this particular kind for a longest time. It's called Pakistan Mulberry Tree. The fruits on it are about a finger size. Very sweet and the tree bears fruit for 4 months out of the year. Absolutely recommend it. It's beautiful and the fruits on it are just amazing.
Hi where did you buy your mulberry online or home nursery?
Oh our friends have some of those! They put out so much fruit!
Bought it at a nursery. They said that they only had 1 left and it was of that particular kind.
Our tree is young but it already has so much fruit. Still green but lots of it. Kids are very excited.
@@annaalbinder6171 that's so cool!! Congratulations!
Terrific "a day in the life of" video. I like how you work. Read, research, plan and then do your best. Thanks for sharing it all with us.
Kevin and sarah, you always have a smile on your faces very uplifting god bless you both
I agree!!
I laughed so hard about the mulberry trees! Up here in IL, they are noxious weeds. Took us 3 years to prune/cut them out of our windbreak and I spend weeks every year digging and cutting all the others that grow everywhere. Royal PITA! 😁 Enjoy!
They are a nuisance, especially when the birds drop the seeds everywhere! And they are hard to dig up and get rid of.The good thing about them(I have 2 huge ones), is that the birds prefer to eat them instead of my tart cherries and different types of berries, so it saves them for me! I don’t care for mulberries myself, so I don’t mind the birds having them.
I'm exhausted just watching. I used to live in Nixa but moved to Nebraska and I envy you your ability to get your stuff growing so soon.
It’s lovely watching you move forward growing your homestead. It’s encouraging and inspiring. Thank you for the video!
It really is encouraging!
Don't forget to cull some grape leaves for stuffed grape leaves, they can be stored in brine till you need them!
Another great day on Living Traditions Homestead! Blessings on your day Kiddos!🥰🌻🐛💕
I love my mulberries. Started from Baker Creek seedlings several years ago and now they are about 13 feet!
Oh nice!! I really want to add some! What variety did you plant?
Wow you guys!!! Look at all of those plants in your sprout house! I have "sprout envy" 🤣LOL. Fantastic! So fun to see little blossoms on your fruit trees. Spring has sprung where you are. It's always so much fun to see what is going on at your homestead. Thanks so much for sharing with us! Congratulations on achieving that weight loss! Fantastic!🥰
No kidding! I need to add a green house now! Lol
I just love watching you guys, The people in your home town are so blessed to have you.
I agree!!
Î really like the way gardening is done in the US. This huge "gardens"/farms, no neighbors that tell you not to do this and that, etc. I don't understand everything, especially the special terms for material or plants, but I really like watching you. Enjoy the upcoming season!
Hoping that with all the wicked, destructive weather in the South and Midwest that you are safe and sound there on the homestead!
I made your fat bomb and brownie truffles and my family love them! Thanks for sharing. All the best to you all.
Thanks, you two are very busy people. Wish I lived close enough to buy your plants.
Hello kiddo's we have worked like crazy. getting our new greenhouse. setup. here on the homestead and it is !!!!!Done. the old marine. God Bless Y'all
Yeah there y'all are. I miss seeing you guys often😢. I've watched your videos for many years😊
I planted my mulberry next to the fence so some will drop over to the chickens.😊
I'm also eating low carb/keto and have lost 80 pounds so far. I recently learned how to make my own yogurt using our instant pot, and I love it. I have yogurt once or twice a day just like you, with berries, and either nuts, or a keto friendly granola mix. I do use an artificial sweetener because Im not super fond of the flavor of stevia. I love that I can control what goes into my yogurt, and therefore what goes into my body. I make mine with whole milk and some heavy cream for a higher fat content. It saves me a lot of money compared to the keto friendly yogurts in the store, too. I imagine once you have cows in milk again, it would save you even more.
Congratulations!!
What a great way to start my day. I always look forward to see how the homestead is growing. May God bless you and your family!
They have grown a LOT over the past couple years! It's so awesome to see!
We planted 2 seedless concord and 2 red reliance about 6 years ago and have been getting tons of grapes! We made our first batches of wine this year, and we love it! You will have oodles of grapes before you know it!
Farmers market is gonna get some great plants! Incredible. Wish I lived closer! 😊
I love how you're sharing your keto journey. It has been a big help to me as I've been struggling with what to eat with intermittent fasting meals. Thank you
I agree!!
You guys are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your lives.
I agree!!
I miss you guys during the week when there are no new videos. I've been watching every single video all the way through from start to finish for at least the past 2 years, maybe longer. I love your orchard. We are planting ours this year.
Nice! We just got ours started this winter. What are you planting?
Excellent day in the life video. So glad you have your grapevines planted and weed control in place. I like the new weed cloth set up. I enjoy watching your new farm grow. 💕💕
Great job on the wellness journey! I’ve been whole foods focused keto for six years losing 135lbs and maintaining.
Mulberry trees I love so much. In South Africa and Rhodesia we had these trees and the beautiful Mulberry Jelly my mom in law made was absolutely delicious. Miss them, have not had a mulberry in 28 years. Enjoy.
Wow! I hope we , get to see the mulberry trees six years from now!🙂Good, eating! Smart!
Loved hearing you guys are near Ava. We used to live there 2006 - 2009. A nice small town in the beautiful Ozarks.
I always love following your farming adventures and projects. Thank you for sharing with all of us.
I have a small farm on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington now. Growing and getting ready for the Shelton and Aberdeen Farmers Markets May through October. Hucklebeary Homestead
I love the area your in now! Living in Arizona, it feels like a whole new world where you are!
How are the girls doing. Hope y’all are still enjoying the new house. Love learning from such a lovely couple. Y’all are so kind and the love you show each other is heart warming. God bless and happy homesteading from the MS Gulf Coast The Bladsacker’s
Thanks so much
Years ago I put a pellet stove in a large greenhouse, made a heat coil to heat water and had several barrels, and fired it up on cold nites, also double layered the plastic.
Good morning 🙏😊. I’m about to start my plants. This is my first year to start my own plants . You guys are an encouragement to me and everyone who watches your videos.
Have a blessed day🙏🥰
Seedlings need to stay moist. Don't let them get dry and you should be successful. God Bless your gardening.
I am surprised that you used a 6' width ground cloth for this, but then I'm not sure how small the DeWitt cover comes. I have a partial roll of DeWitt that I used in my backyard plant nursery and I LOVE it. You guys really inspire me to do more but honestly, at 78 I don't have that many "productive" years left! LOL great job on all you're doing on your homestead. If nothing else, I can live vicariously through your efforts!
I bought the 4' because they didn't sell the 6' back then. Those grapes will get wide at the top so the 6' will allow them to pick grapes while standing on the fabric and not in the grass. At 68, I love mine around my tall raised beds because no weeds, or critters lurking, and my garden seat rolls on it easily.
@@gelwood99 nice! I'll have to look into this for our grapes
Team work makes for dream work. Makes a huge difference in what you are able to get done. Blessings
Everything looks wonderful guys ! Especially both of you on your Keto !
I agree!!
I loved the music you played while planting the mulberry bushes. Your channel is so inspiring and relaxing😊
QUESTION: Can you do a playlist on your keto recipie? I'll hope it will come more of those as time goes bye... Easy to plan dinner and snacks for us keto folks 😁. Best of luck on this garden season 🐞🌾🌻🍉🍇🍅🌶️🥒❤
I love the acoustic music soundtrack! It reminds me of Gerry O'Beirne and his wonderful anthology of original acoustic guitar music.
Here in Arizona our brassicas are done, getting warm, slow cool year, the tomatoes are blooming, peppers budding, getting into the soil now.
I've sold over 200 plants already, and in a couple days I'm sold out, it's just a hobby.
I started Keto on March 1st and already down 12 pounds. I’m also doing intermittent fasting. Only eating two meals a day. Keeping the carbs around 20 grams a day
Just sooo very happy that this crazy weather has missed you folks!!!
Thank god u guys are ok! I was worried with all the tornadoes, I prayed for u! Whew😊
So excited watching your homestead grow!! GOD bless
❤️
You can't fruit grape vines until year 4. If you fruit them earlier you will stunt them. Tom Zebadal ( I think this is the wrong spelling, but close) has really good videos on anything grapes, like which trellis system to use or where to grow them and how to align the rows etc.
I HIGHLY recommend worm casting compost for your trees! In fact I use it all over my garden and it’s a miracle compost. I’m in Eastern Ontario (Canada) and our growing season is much shorter than yours. You should see my plants after just a month of planting. Anyway, love your videos, my wife and I watch you guys every video you put out.
Agreed. You can get it for free by burying your kitchen scraps around your trees. The worms eat them and leave their castings behind.
Worm castings are fantastic!!
Mulberries are awesome! I get them from my grandpa's old place and grabbed some babies from there and planted them at my house. Mulberry jam is my all time favorite.
More positive note. I do follow closely. Been watching 6 years or so. Since you started. I do love you both.
God Bless you both Kevin & Sara ❤❤
I've said it before and I'm saying again, you are the smartest couple team ever ❤❤
Lay the weed blocker down. Burn the holes in the weed blocker then dig the planting holes with a post hole digger. I put the dirt on a piece of card board to keep things neat. I do this with tomatoes, peppers, squash, just about everything.
I roll out the cloth, cut to length, fold in half, put folded side against plant. Now cut perfect spaced hples
Hello living traditions family! I love your content and you both are such an inspiration! I've learned so much in the years that I have watched you and I want to thank you for all the teaching and inspiration! God Bless!
I really enjoyed your video today. You are a real inspiration to all of us. Thanks for sharing !❤
Look into the "Gripple" wire tensioners, and use the hardened wire, as it holds up, remember the wire loosens in the warm summers, and you need to loosen it for the cold winters, or it pulls posts, anchor your end posts, Gripple makes a full line of vineyard hardware.
Your plants look awesome! I wish you the best of luck at the farmer's market! I love mulberries! The shade cloth is a terrific idea! I love you green house!
I have done almost the same thing but found that cutting the weed cloth down the center and cutting it around the plants worked better without injury to the plant. But I am doing this alone so for me it was easier. I love your channel.
Love seeing all those plants thriving. The orchard will be a great addition to your garden. Wishing I was closer to purchase some of your plants. Best of luck in the next few weeks with the farmers market. God's blessings
I agree! I want some too! Lol but I'm in Arizona lol
when we gardened, we bought the long lanky plants, planted them in a firtilized trough. just curled up the last little top to come out of the trough. that all became root system and we had tomatoes coming out of our ears. just a FYI good luck!
Plants looking good Hope the grapes do good ❤
Why have I never seen y'all's channel until today is beyond me. Thank y'all for sharing everything! New subscriber 😊
You two look GREAT! ❤ I just started keto and loving it. The science behind it just makes sense.
I'm definitely looking into it!
Beautiful plants 🌱 you’re an inspiration to us all. Good luck at farmers market!
What beautiful day on the farm! Ooooh grapes and mulberries!
You guys have the best t-shirts. One nation under God... guess what chicken butt. I love it! 😄👍🏻
Small suggestion: put a pvc pipe thru the center of the weed fabric and a rope thru that. Makes it so much easier to roll out.
We love our Mulberry trees! I grew up with them and wouldn’t be without them.
Try making mulberry sea salt homemade ice cream… you will NOT be disappointed!
Hello! You two ✌ for only two people your awesome on having so much plants.
Put gallons of hot water between your pet tomatoes - even if need fresh hot water each day. And of course replant immediately !
Wow! You two have trimmed down! I haven’t watched in a long time. Looking good guys!
Mulberries!!!! My Plan this year too!!!! Apparently a bonus is the high protein content in leaves for livestock such as bunnies and goats etc.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love watching you guys. You taught me how to can 3 years ago. Love all the info, and step by step canning videos. You're a blessing.
I agree!!
Hi, sorry I have missed you for a while. The two hurricanes in south Florida took my job and my place to live and then my daughter died so I have not been anywhere or visiting anyone for the most part. You are in my prayers.
I been using fish gut soup for years and it shows! Love the video!!
WOOOOW! That’s a lot of plants! Impressive!
Oh my goodness you guys!!!!!! That is beyond fabulous.
On "Dwarf trees" they are grafted to a tree stock base that limits their size by limiting growth by root growth. If you accidentally bury the tree with dirt above the graft it will allow the plant to grow off the non dwarf stock.
Thinking of you and your family and animals during the storms today. Praying you are all safe and well.
Very interesting about the ratios of different manures to fertilize the fruit trees.
Yeah! I love that they talked about rabbit manure! It's actually way better than Chicken but most people never hear about it.
Wonderful vlog; thanks for sharing! Great progress! Blessings to all 🤗💜🇨🇦
Nice to see your fruit made it. A bunch of mine were budding and blooming when we got those teen temps😢.
Hi guys! As always, I have a few comments based on my experience.
I recall you planting your orchard using a post hole digger, making a cylindrical hole. That was not the correct way to plant them and it shows. It constrains the roots and makes the roots grow in a spiral. The better way is to make a hole at least twice as wide as the pot or root ball and make the edges of the hole rough. You used a shovel this time (better) but the hole needed to be wider so the roots can grow outward easier. The sides of the root ball should also have been roughed up. They were root bound and appeared dry. A good soaking in nutrient water for an hour would have been helpful. I'm saying this not to by critical, but to help others who watch your videos.
In regards to fertilizing with 13-13-13, that is a method that is the least preferable way and probably the least expensive. However, it is not optimal for the long run. Organics around the trees will decompose each year and feed the biome, which in turn feeds the trees. The trees will be more disease resistant this way as well. It will take three years to grow the biome, but after that, you will see magic happen. For the first two years, you will need to be sure to add a little manure (not compost) to the organics in order to supply nitrogen until the biome is healthy and can provide the nitrogen naturally.
In regards to the trees, they should have been pruned in late winter. Fruit trees should be pruned every year to be sure they grow optimally and for disease resistance. I saw some scraggly branches low on one of your fruit trees.
As for Stark Brothers (who I believe is now owned by a company from India or China), being in Missouri, you probably do get good service. However, if you live up north, you will get stiffed by them if their inventory runs out, even if you ordered trees a year in advance. They ship to warmer areas first and the northerners get what is left, if there are any left. I speak from experience. I also ordered a seedless Concord grapevine from them once and got a seeded Concord grapevine. Oh well. As for dwarfs, if your soil is heavy, standards are much preferred.
You didn't mention the variety of Mulberry trees you purchased. Some varieties have males and females. You might want to check that out. Some are self-fertile, or at least can be pollinated if you have seedlings from one variety (similar to apple trees). Also, many varieties of mulberries have very small berries. I went through two varieties and they were pathetic. I finally grew seedlings from a friend's tree and now I get wonderful sized berries (that the birds love to eat). In regards to growing mulberries into a bush, I tried that for one of my seedlings. I now have a cluster of full-sized trees... and not a bush. Nice cluster though!
You should have made the grapevine trellis first. Again, I learned from experience. You also need to get stakes in for each vine ASAP. If they grow well, they will reach 6 to 7 feet tall in a season and you will need to tie them to a stake. I also noticed that you have some with more than one stem. I suggest that you cut one off to get a singe trunk. Some people grow two trunks so they have one as a backup. My experience is that a single bull trunk is better able to survive brutal cold spells. As for wine, you really need to buy grapevines for wine if you want good wine. Wine can be made from water, but you would not want to drink it. What I am getting at is that wine grapes are wine grapes for a reason. With that being said, seedless grapes are great table grapes. In regards to wine, mulberries make great wine too, as do apples, cherries, plums, and peaches. I could literally make wine from spinach but... yuk! LOL With all of that said, you certainly can make wine from those grapes. Just don't expect it to taste like wine you are accustomed to. And watch that pH. As for the plastic around your grapevines, well, I grow my vines with grass around them and they do fine. Obviously I mulch them heavily for the first couple season, but after that, I just fertilize them organically with poultry manure to feed the biome. If that plastic is down it will be difficult to feed the soil. Growers using plastic generally have a buried nutrient line under the plastic to bring nutrients to the plants. Remember... organics feed the soil, that feeds the plants. Inorganic fertilizer feeds the plants and starves the biome.
As for tomatoes, I have never seen warmer temperatures make tomato plants stretch. However, if the light is not optimal, they will. Interesting. My tomato plants don't like cool temperatures. With that being said, I like my tomato plants a bit long so I can bury the stem to get more roots that are not from the cell. They grow much better that way. With that being said, the shorter stout ones will sell better.
It is good to see that you are getting good use from the greenhouse. Maybe someday you can add a 2nd layer of plastic and heat it so you don't need to be moving plants in and out all the time. It could get expensive, though.
Hope your hatch is coming out well! Mine are coming out this weekend.
We can't plant here till last frost which is May 15th. You all have done a great job with your seedlings. Keeping you a n d family in my prayers.
