    From the picking, to the cutting, to the grinding of the apples, you’ve got a lot of work, just for juice. I have a different appreciation for apple juice prices now. Looks delicious. What a treat.

    “A strongly worded letter” 😂😂😂 - always a good day to wake up and see there’s a new vid from your smallholding. Loved the update and the new voiceover form intro ❤

    It’s beautiful seeing morning fog in the sunrise but yep 😢😢 dark by 7:30 pm is no fun. 🤭 my super dwarf apple tree has its one apple 🍏. Pigs with apple sauce stuffing 😂. 7:09 I’m surprised Steven’s not made a stand for the apple shredder. 😂😂 are you talking from the lavatory Tracy. He’s mad at you Steven 🤦‍♀️. Oh now you’ve put your foot in Steven she’ll be planning all night long. 23:55 hello Rodney and Buster, our poor dog can’t run loose we have predatory birds and coyotes. A fantastic update to all, have a super and hopefully sunny weekend, Ali 🌦️🇨🇦

    Just found your channel...top work top and content. My house in sussex is up for sale and I'm looking to start my own smallholding in Normandy. So I intend to binge watch your back catalogue...and as others have said...your lamb stew looked bloody handsome. ✌️

    Fantastic I love these videos of all the weekend jobs. Apples are amazing! The flavour of the Large blacks is lovely they look in great condition. I slap mark mine the day before I take them to the abattoir don’t fancy my hands so close to their mouths to put tags in 😂 Xx

      Thank you lovely!! We looked at slap marks but the applicator was crazy expensive! X

    Well guys what a fantastic video. I make engineering & car video's but this was brilliant to watch. Good luck for the future.

      Thank you Steve, really appreciate you taking the time to comment. We didn’t expect the video to be quite so far reaching 😊

    Ohh they kinda look like braeburn apples, love their juice and they make a great apple pie/tart apple.
    EDIT
    Pro tip, drill a couple holes in the "legs" of the pulper and you can bolt it down. Then remove/modify the handle so it can be grabbed in the chuck of a battery drill. Makes it much easier, quicker and safer

  • @SharonTordoff

    Why not save some apples to eat whole through the winter season, as they retain their fibre when they aren't juiced. Lovely video guys, really interesting.

    • @OurSmallholdingAdventure
      @OurSmallholdingAdventure  Месяц назад

      Absolutely fabulous idea. We have done this previously 👌 thank you for watching

    With all those fruit trees I'd invest in an electric food mill/juicer.
    I'm in the Northeast too, do you recommend somewhere I can buy half a pig and half a cow for my freezers?

    • @OurSmallholdingAdventure
      @OurSmallholdingAdventure  Месяц назад

      Thank you. I would say try a local abattoir first and chat with them about where the meat is from 👌

  • @stevieboy6986
    @stevieboy6986 2 месяца назад

    for pulping I use a plasterers paddle and use the lid from the fermenting bucket to avoid splashes. its a lot quicker in my opinion

    Pigs looking great, I think ours might be a bit too fat, but she’s going next week so we shall see and I’ll be leaving the tag to my other half 😂. Now Steven has said about moving that fence it’s pretty much a done deal, there’s thousands of people out here in RUclips land waiting to see it!!! I’m watching this at elevenses time and never before have I wanted lamb stew and apple juice more than a coffee and biscuits YUM.
    I was also wondering how you’ve found your chickens as table birds this year? I’m thinking of trying another breed to run alongside ours, do you have a preference out of your two? Fingers crossed for a bit more sunshine for the garden, Thankyou both xx

    • @OurSmallholdingAdventure
      @OurSmallholdingAdventure  Месяц назад

      How did the pig get on? You’re so right on what Steven said 😂 thank you! Very kind. We would highly recommend the Rhode Island reds for table birds. Take care!

  • @juliew7379
    @juliew7379 2 месяца назад +1

    What type of pigs do you have? We have kept Berkshires for the past few years but they do tend to run fatty, delicious meat though and lovely pigs to keep.

  • @shannonkatereadsstuff
    @shannonkatereadsstuff 2 месяца назад

    Just found you! Love it. What breed of hogs? I love that you’re not breeding for super fat - no point in just having acres of lard and no meat!

    I always dreamed of a small holding, but it just never happened.
    Might be worth making a frame for the crusher stick a bucket underneath.

    Me and my wife have just found this channel, and we love it! But can you settle a debate we've had, haha. Im from the northeast, and my wife is from Cumbria, and im certain your accent is Boro/Stockton way, but my wife says you sound like you're from Cumbria, especially Stevens accent. 🙂

    • @OurSmallholdingAdventure

      This one is actually from Amazon! Sadly out of stock but this was the title if you search for it again - mine is 7 litres.

    I bought a refurbished food processor for £25 and use it to grate all the apples. Less arm work.

    Just stumbled into your channel. Very nice content. I would have enjoyed the opening even more if your audio was slower and presented in a much more relaxed manner. Just a suggestion for improvement.

    Do you sell your island Rhode reds? Would be interested in buying some depending where you are in the country.

    • @OurSmallholdingAdventure
      @OurSmallholdingAdventure  Месяц назад +2

      Hey, yes, we’ve covered this before. There’s a reason we have horses and wouldn’t live here if we didn’t. Long term, there’s a jersey in the plans but not whilst the horses are here.

    30:48 Hi both.... you need to careful Steven in my experience "might" is often the statement preceeding "when are we going to..." 😂
    Seriously though lovely video again ... did you say frost? 😮
    How long did the stew take to cook?

    • @OurSmallholdingAdventure
      @OurSmallholdingAdventure  Месяц назад +1

      You know us too well 😂 maybe an hour or so? I didn’t really time it but the hear was intense in the fire so I’d like to slow it down next time. Was very tender all the same
