    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!

    I'm sad about the duck. They are my fave thing on your channel for some reason. I can't believe how far you have come in four years! So inspiring! Love the drone shots. It really shows your progress!

    @cheryllamb8831 4 года назад +3

    Thank you. The drone shots really give a better view of the overall homestead. You all have come a long way, successfully, & I love learning from you. I also like how organized & neat you keep your property! Bless you all!

  • @CaryKelly11
    @CaryKelly11 4 года назад +5

    I think you and your family are easier to relate to than most of the other homesteads simply because you don't have a lot of acreage. You show us how to make the most of what we have. Also, noteworthy is the ability of you and the Mrs. to explain something in a concise, understandable and articulate manner. Your chicken harvesting video last week is a perfect example.

    We left the city and started a homestead on 3 acres. I have psoriasis and eating homegrown food helped me tremendously. Watching your videos helped me with my first batch of chickens we processed this year. You all have done so much over the years. Keep up the great work, thank you for sharing.

    Looks amazing, y’all! Gardening is addicting, as are chickens...
    You are going to miss those pigs when they’re gone and will want some more soon. I miss having pigs in between our grow outs. My compost bin gets full so so quickly without my hogs.
