Another use for pumpkin: Pumpkin Apple Muffins! Take your favorite banana bread recipe. Substitute the banana with the same amount of pureed pumpkin. Substitute pumpkin spice for the spice you use in the bread recipe. Core and chop up an apple and add to the batter. Bake as you would for the banana bread, or use a muffin tin for muffins. Soooo good!
Vision board...yes!!! Habakkuk 2:4 write the vision and make it plain! We have a vision board and we make a goal board at the beginning of each year we hang on our fridge and check off each goal God blesses us with through the year!
I used newspaper to make pots last year for my seedlings and it worked really well. Just save any plastic rectangle or square shaped bowls from take out and frozen dinner type stuff to place your pots in for stability. It's an option if you don't want to invest in a soil blocker your first year.
Here are my 2022 goals! Not sure if I’ll reach all of them but I will definitely be pursuing & achieving a lot of them! * Start a garden * Grow potatoes, pumpkins, onions, squash, zucchini, cucumbers, berries (blackberries, blueberries, raspberries) fruit trees * expand/Grow my compost * Get at least 2 chicken tractors built * Start a worm bin (worm casting) * Build a better chicken brooder / hatch & raise my own birds * Raise more egg layers * Start selling eggs * Read at least 5 books * Start or get ready to start raising and butchering my own poultry
LuvUjustin... and your beautiful family!!! You are my favorite homesteading family!!! I don't have a homestead... I have a tiny home and live on a tiny home community lot that doesn't allow chickens :( but use SO many of your processes. LuvUguys!!!
Sustainability is being able to produce your own food and be self sufficient, not necessarily a healthier way of making a product. We need to bring back the value of homemade/ homegrown things. Especially realizing their true value! Very inspiring!
Hello Justin! This was so educational as well as inspirational! We just ordered our seed last week! This made us excited for the upcoming garden season! We have a little 8’ x 8’ greenhouse we made on wheels! It works great for us! We hope to show it on our channel soon! Thank you so much for the inspiration! Our goats and sheep are having their babies now! I am a fourteen year old that is the voice behind our channel! Blessings to you!
We grew, fished, and hunted. At my grandparent's homestead, we grew more than we could consume, can, sell, give. Same at my mother's place. Am an old man but working to get several acres productive again. Seems like the right thing to do...
I love powdering tomato's after dehydrating. Works great if your sauce isn't thick enough just throw some powder in and when it reabsorbs it takes up that extra juice without adding more liquid.
What fun to revisit a video from years ago. Watching you kids and the little ones grow over the years has been one of my guilty pleasures. It has been like having a secret family my blood kin don't know about. Your "10 hours a week or less" was what reeled me in initially. Keep the dream alive, and thanks for sharing.
TO THE BEAUTIFUL ONE: I am sure you are never lacking in something to do... BUT 🥰🤣❤ As your dear hubby described some of the ways you prepare your farm fresh food, I was thinking...If she had a cookbook, I would SO buy it!! ☺ Your recipes sound fantastic!! Please send me a reply if this is something you would consider adding to your to-do list!
I like to grate my cucumbers, add olive oil, salt n pepper.Acorn squash is not heard of in Australia..Im on the lookout for some seeds..Looking forward to trying it.
I like to fill the squash halves with dried fruits, brown sugar (make syrup got too expensive) cinnamon, and choices and topped with bacon and bake. Smells awesome as well.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I’m so excited to get things started but I don’t want to set myself up for failure. My sister is a permaculture designer and I’ve learned from her for years but I love the way your family has successfully done this and just the upbeat wholesome way you work together. That’s healthy behavior I’d like to enjoy with my family. I don’t want to be famous or do anything besides have a happy family and contribute to my community. Maybe help an endangered local species.
Dude, this is seriously inspiring... watched a hundred of your videos, and never commented to thank you, but THANK YOU! My wife and I no longer buy chicken at the grocery and are adding egg chickens this year... we only have 1 acre. Never thought food security would be this attainable!
Thanks for the ideas of the slap up green house. It is amazing to look back at what the farm looked like then and what you have done in the last few years . Mr. Brown sure has grown , he looks so little in this vlog.
Thank you. Very helpful. Will be having chickens again this summer but planning on changing our system. Wishing you and yours the best from Manitoba, Canada
OMGOODNESS 😁 my daughter (weaverville) and I (East Asheville) just discovered that you are local to us!! WNC has a climate All it's own and we are both new to gardening/homesteading and are learning as we go... I am so Excited to find that you are in the same area 😊
That is great! I live in Ca desert. Not much grows here without a greenhouse. Swiss Chard, Basil and carrots. Potatoes. Everything else gets eaten!!! Lol
Those are basically supplements, you would die on those calories. You can feed them to the animals then have food to live on. Beans and potatoes will work. Great work your doing raising that family!
I like making truffles with pumpkin and squashes! Also the pumpkin is great to use in stews with kale and root veggies! Fried cinnamon pumpkin slices! Dehydration is also the way to go! Two thumbs way up brother man! I get so excited about this whole thing!!!
I am a crazy garden lady but I am pretty sure you just won over my hubby by telling him he can pee on my garden to help it out!!!! 🤣😂🤣😂 Thank you Justin!
Hello👋🏻 . Greetings from Kuwait 🇰🇼. I follow you and love life in America. I hope you do a winter video😃🤎. Beautiful winter heating, cold and heating. I am a Kuwaiti woman
I have enjoyed guessing when video is from based on background, children, and the state of the farm. Based on the pen the chickens are in, age of children and buildings on the homestead I am guessing late summer 2020.
Yes, urine contains ammonia (urea) and some good vitamins and minerals, but it is concentrated. Even 1 cup per gallon is enough. Ammonia is a source of nitrogen but it tends to generate elongated growth, whereas nitrates generate compact growth. Shorter internodal lengths. I also like to recommend fruit+nut trees which are rarely mentioned. They provide an abundance of food with virtually no labor.
You and your family are awesome. I love watching how you all work together to get things done. Great planning and awesome gardens. Do you also have a site with recipes?
Hi...... Justin Rhodes and Rebecca, thank you for showing your video homestead chickens duck goose farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🐕🐈🐑🐄🐖🐇🌱🌺🌹🌿🌻🌼🌸🍀🌷🏡🎥👍👍👍
I'm a pretty new subscriber and I'm just amazed by your knowledge and your willingness to share all of your knowledge. Thank you! Hubby and I are thinking about making the plunge and buy some land. You're making it sound like we could actually do it! :)
I've Done Gardening, A Couple of Times. And Never Did It Before That. I Read, AND Did, Like You Said, And It Is Nice Too Have Some Things Like You Said. 👍 It's Definately Handy. Thankyou 4 Your Vid. I'm Dealing With My Own, I Appreciate Ya'll. 7 Have Other Chores, Check Ya Later. Miss Co
Onions are very high in vitamin :A' which is instrumental for the immune system !!? My Doctor told me that some times when you get bad reaction ,it means that you need more of it ...sometimes in mega doses or other times several small amounts works MUCH BETTER !!? Ps. Great video Justin very informative ,very you fud a fantastic job !!!
Dear Justin , can I just grow meat chicken over the winter (November-march) and then Butcher them in April ? Will the chickens grow well ? Because I am in zone 4 Uk where here is very limited season for growing vegetables
They are ready in 8 weeks. If it's cold, you might need to keep lamps on them all winter so they don't have to put so much energy into staying warm. Winter chickens don't usually grow quite as well due to energy needing to be prioritized for keeping them warm.
I want to also be able to grow my own black pepper in Oklahoma. I understand it is tropical and must overwinter inside. Has anyone been able to sprout commercial peppercorns?
I could finally find a soil blocker here in canada this year! I am so excited t get away from the plastic and biodegradable cups. They are getting way too expensive

I have seen it growing here on mid north coast nsw.
@@patriciafisher1170 oh wow..hopefully seeds will be around then..thanks.
Coconut milk in your pumpkin soup is delicious ! Also an instant pickle is made with sliced cucumbers onions vinegar sugar and grated ginger .
I like to fill the squash halves with dried fruits, brown sugar (make syrup got too expensive) cinnamon, and choices and topped with bacon and bake. Smells awesome as well.

I appreciate this video! I do get overwhelmed and this slows it all down. Thank you!!
Your produce looks fantastic!! I wish we could have a bit longer grow season but I am trying to push 75% too up in a zone 3.
Amazing information for a newbie with a tiny side yard. Thank you.
Thank you. Very helpful. Will be having chickens again this summer but planning on changing our system. Wishing you and yours the best from Manitoba, Canada

You've come a long way baby! Hope the Fam is enjoying Florida. Much love from Nikiski, Alaska.
Oh my goodness! How did she make the tomato leathers?
Could be one of your best videos Justin.

@@cassischreiner2247 thank you 🙏
It also depends where you live. Our climate is warmer, so we can get away with some winter birds. Best of luck!
I look forward to this challenge!
Will you share The Beautiful One’s recipes with use please?
so can we not eat everything year round? like can i store anythign like freeze or dehydrate it
I love your voice!!
You can also get Clyde's planning guide.
Zucchini 🤤
I want to also be able to grow my own black pepper in Oklahoma. I understand it is tropical and must overwinter inside. Has anyone been able to sprout commercial peppercorns?
This great sir! Thank you!
We are doing thos challenge with you gusy this year
Great information
Yummy I need t I get started 😋
is it ok to raise turkeys and chickens in the same pen/shelter?
It would be really helpful and useful to know when this content was first posted. Is that information included? Am I just missing it? Thanks!
How did you quantify 75%? Was that by weight? Was that by retail price?
if i had the space i would do chicken carrots and potatoes some peppers hot /regular a couple tomatoe plants id be super happy
Good idea
Great video. Keep up the good work.
It’s “ mr duck duck go pants “ for me (:
what are the pros and cons of farming
I wanna grow my own produce
I love squashes... I hope I can grow food like you have. I need squash that the bugs do NOT like MUCH...
I don't have a broudfork, I have a twisty thing to use to break up the dirt.
I have a pasture that I want to turn into a garden this spring . I have 1500 packs of seeds and one acre can it be done?
I've had issues with soil blockers. They fall apart on me or my plants seeds roots out along the trays.
I could finally find a soil blocker here in canada this year! I am so excited t get away from the plastic and biodegradable cups. They are getting way too expensive
