    About:
    Jason and Lorraine. In 2016 we sold most of our belongings and left the city in southern California to start a small homestead in the mountains of North Carolina. We left the city in search for a more minimal and intentional life. We became passionate about growing our own food and knowing what exactly is in our food after I (Jason) became diagnosed with cancer. Now 8 years in remission we as a family are on a journey to live our passions.
    We document our life on RUclips videos to inspire others to get out of their comfort zone and not be afraid of change. We started our own online general store where we have available the things we make and use in real life. Thank you for following us on this incredible life changing journey!

    What I find to be ironic is just how much MORE sanitary you can be processing your own meat in your backyard. It’s without a doubt the best way in every aspect! Y’all are doing great work on sow the land.

    @surreygeorge11 4 года назад +2

    I grew up on a chicken farm, 3000 chickens. They would chop off the heads and the chicken would run up a tree. We did the hot water dip and then plucked by hand.
    I didn't see how you killed your chickens, but your setup was so organized. I am sure you were as gentle as you could be in killing them. I thought saying a prayer was equally as thoughtful.
    Love your show, love your family, love your methods.

    I used to help a woman that kept us, that had huge chicken farm. She used a clothes line and would do a bunch at a time. We got the awesome task of plucking them for some reason 😳 Was very educational, just like your videos. Bring back a lot of memories. Especially getting whacked by roosters and hens. 😁 Your process is more refined than 45 years ago. 😉

      Did we watch the same video?They didn’t show half the process. Just the nice parts and little of that even. Video was a waste of time. What was they doing? Trying to rosy glow butcher day or teach how to wash a bike? It’s nothing like this. It’s gross bloody and tiring. Great job guys for giving wrong impression. Don’t bother you’ll learn more from a book.

They don't show the whole thing because you tube will take down the video because the cry babies out in the world don't want to see that part of it. If you think you can do better........have at it, oh thats right.......you don't have a channel, you just criticize others while hiding behind your computer screen.

    Learned something new about adding a drop of dish detergent to the water to help release the feathers. Thanks for the tip- I love how ya'll say a prayer before the butchering! We bought that EZplucker 10 years ago when we started raising our meat birds. It's well worth the money.

    We have discovered a great way to raise our tables a few inches which helps tremulously on everyone’s backs. (Art could probably benefit since he is tall and has the baby on his back.) Cut (measured) lengths of plastic piping to put on each leg of the table. Raising the table a bit helps so you don’t have to lean slightly forward while processing the birds.
    Thanks for the video. We are processing tomorrow!

    Love the video! Trying to learn all we can about this process. As we are considering raising chickens for meat and I have been apprehensive about it. Love that you give thanks to the Lord for the lives the chickens were basically giving for you. Idk, it just gives respect for living things and acknowledging the sacrifices. Hope I’m not being weird but that’s what it said to me.

    Have you thought about using a shopvac to suck the air out of the shrink-wrap bag before shrinking it? That is what a professional Cryovac machine does. It doesn't seem to be any more difficult than poking the hole in the bag and needing a sticker. You could plumb a clean clear vinyl tube to the end of the hose to keep it all clean. Just a suggestion.

    A new subscriber here. I also subscribe among others to the Art and Bri channel as well as the Justin Rhodes channel. I live in the mountains of central PA but do not homestead myself. Age and ailments keep me from doing it any more. Isn't just amazing the generosity of homesteaders whether it is an object animal or their time just to help you do a big job. That is what life should be. I rejoice in you giving thanks in a prayer also.
