I love the way that u have ur kids with u. Teaching them how to build things and gardening. They may not want to when they become adults but the fact that they know how to do all of it is soooo great.
Aaaaaaaa-mennn!
Farms are not about beauty it’s about function and supplying the family what it needs. I think your cart is neat.
A woman wants to be proud of her home. A skirt on their home would improve it by 1000%. Trash spread around the home is nothing to be proud of. Like my mother always said “being poor is no excuse for being messy”. Love Meg and have never seen a harder worker.
@@miephoex Woah, who are you to judge? You don’t know their life situation anymore than I or anyone else does. Have you ever homesteaded? My grandfather did and it was hard work. Every summer my mom and us grandkids would go stay with him and help get things done. You don’t get rich being a homesteader. It’s about being self reliant and living a sustainable life. You might want to stay in your lane and keep those rude opinions to yourself.
Amen, Sister!! Tell it like it is. This is a hard working family who will accomplish what they set out to do.,..
Love the two building projects, Ben. Your boys will be skilled in working up ideas and building them. I hope they understand just how lucky they are. This country needs a lot more dads like you that are teaching their children something to help them sustain themselves in their lifetimes. Just as Meg does, teaching them about cooking and canning...to say nothing of family gardening. God Bless you all.
AMEN
I don't think the water cart is ugly, it's made your chores easier, and thats a beautiful thing. Problem solved, thats great!
Buggy has your back, Dad. "Do you want a hammer to get it done?" She's priceless.
Meg, you are so resourceful. Saving the pumpkin with carrot and sweet potato is brilliant. Your brain is brilliant. Most of us would not have thought to do such a thing. 🤔
I was thinking the same thing. I am pretty sure I would not have thought to add flavor to a bland pumpkin by adding the sweet potato and carrot. Never to old to learn something new.
My mother in law has always added carrots and sweet potato to pumpkin soup, more vegetables for growing tummies!
I'm surprised you hadn't already built something like that!
Love your channel! Wanted to share something our son said to his father when he was 30. I wish I had worked with you when you were doing projects and learned about how to use all the tools. Our son lives far away and we don’t get to see him often.
I don’t know what your boys do off camera but I’m hoping they are learning from their parents and catching your creative bug of making something from nothing and recycling to create useful things. You have a wonderful family! Thanks for the entertainment.
I love it when Ben has a project. Always amazing!! Meg, that was a great idea to had the sweet potato and carrots to the soup.
Wherever dad is you can see that little blonde head popping up . She asked if he needed a hammer, this just warms my heart. I was a real daddy's girl and now I am 68 watching Buggy's closeness to her dad.
She’s so adorable
Makes me think of the song "The Lord is good to me, for giving me the things I need the sun and the rain and the apple seed...
I just want to say how much I love your channel. I am in the UK but won't go to bed until your video has posted. I have also been suggesting your channel to quite a few other smaller homestead type channel's I watch, including a few in Portugal 😂
Buggy is just adorable and I have just loved seeing her and the boys grow.
I also used your boys as an example to a Portugal channel (The Newbys) as they have also coped a lot of flack for their little boy not wearing shoes on the farm hope you don't mind. Your Boys (and Buggy) have survived just fine not wearing them 😊
I also watch the Newbys. 👍👍
I am 76, grew up in the country, still don't like to wear shoes . 😊
@@chughes-lv3oeme too! I'm 62. We almost never had shoes on all summer spring and fall. LOL and sometimes in the winter if we were just running out to get something quick. And yes, we had feet of snow & lots of subzero cold. But we had a potbelly stove that was so warm too.
I love how the whole family works together on a project! 🍅🥒🌶️🌽🥕😊🔨🛠️👍🏼
Love seeing the kids bombing around on the golf cart. 😀 great childhood they’re having! ✊🏼🎈
I love your being safe wearing your safety glasses! Only one set of eyes per person!!
Ben ,I think its awesome how you make so many useful things. Its wonderful how the family pitches in. Such a beautiful family.
We just processed our 52 Red broilers from Murray mcmurray. Our biggest was 7 lbs. We got 240 lbs of chicken out of them. But we only keep half as we barter for half a pig for 120 pounds of chicken.
Sweet deal all around there.
That’s a lotta bird!!
Do you have access to a Harbor Freight when you said wheels I certainly don't think of Lowe's. Just a thought.
You children are going to be very knowledgeable with a dad and mom like you two. You guys are amazing I’m 76 years old and parents now a day just don’t teach their children a fraction of what your children are being taught Congratulations
@@sandybennett6122you are so right. This is how children should be raised.
The air pruner box has piqued my curiosity . Please keep us posted !
wow! I think Ben and Meg were made for each other !! You both are so resourceful and talented !! I look forward to each video to see what the both of you have come up with in your journey of Life on the homestead !! Your children are becoming quite resourceful too !! This is one family that will survive !!!
I love that Buggy isn't so independent yet that she doesn't want to be picked up and cuddled. They outgrow that too quickly. You have very special children. I really value your family and the values you are obviously teaching them. God bless you all!
Solar security lights are great to have on the coops!! Your water system is also great!!
I love visiting with the Hollars and catching up with current projects. I especially enjoy Ben's growing trees, compost making, etc updates. Take care Hollar family. 🥰❣️🥰❣️
Meg, I forever was fighting with squash bugs and vine borers with my pumpkins and squash until someone on IG suggested Seminole which is technically a squash but is orange and taste like an awesome pumpkin. I bought seeds from Baker Creek. OMGoodness!! I grew 2 plants last year and had so many "pumpkins" it was ridiculous! I froze and canned so much and gave a pig farmer a ton that I didn't need to grow any this year and from the looks of it, probably won't grow any next year either. I never put anything on them, full organic garden and never had any trouble. I was blown away. Hope you or Brett try growing them next year. Oh, and I'm in NE TX with very, very clay type soil too. I use lots of compost. Gave them water and that was it. Didn't even fertilize. 😊
Ben those new chicken tractors r much better! I noticed how much easier it was to maneuver them and get inside when Jason started using them..glad you switched! Your mastering things this year! Meg..as always you are amazing in the kitchen! Both of you are so creative and inspiring! It’s truly a joy to watch you both and the kiddos! Blessings from a Western NC neighbor and your biggest fan❤🙏…Edit~ Buggy smiling while sitting on her Dads lap on the tractor was priceless! Melts my 💜💜💜💜
Glad to see Ben making stuff to make life easier. Also fun to hear him talk about it on the podcast.
I really enjoy watching your family even though I'll never have a real garden or grow my own animals. You provide me with a few minutes of calmness and hope for the future. Thank you ❣️
Wow, y’all, I got this video really early today🤗!! Ben, I love the idea for the watering container…easier than dragging the hose😉. Those wheels for the chicken coups are really unique and do the job quite well! I love the tree growing box…great idea! Meg, I love pumpkin soup💜…all the bread dough at the beginning was amazing and dinner looked so good😘!
Love the chicken tractors!!! They have more space and air. They look like covered wagons. Adorable.
Sister in her gingham dress, barefoot, with that crowning riot of saffron ringlets looks like an advertisement for organic food products.
Tip for Meg....when cleaning the inside of the pumpkin, a used canning lid to scrape the inside is amazing and quick.
Another amazing day on the Hollar family homestead! Blessings from Ohio!🥰🌻🐛💕
Great knowledge about the peach roots; I have a few started in pots & was wondering how to plant them to over winter so I can take them to my daughter’s greenhouse. Yummy soup, bread & fixings. Thanks for sharing tidbits of your family life. Blessings to everyone 🤗💕🇨🇦
That was a good project! Blessings 💕🤗
Buggy's arms wrapped around Meg's neck. ❤ It really is true... the most precious necklace a women can wear are the arms of her child's embrace. 💓
💝 the project. Delicious looking soup Meg. Loved spending time with all of you! ❇❇❇
Thank you!!! That cart with a water barrel will solve all the hose problems.
Your little girl is a doll ,shes going to grow up and know so much about home steading and so will the boys .
Just an idea and it will be easy for you being a welder is cut a triangle metal plate and attach to the golf cart where your putting the water cart. Ideally top and beneath. Helps reinforce the tow hole and save future metal ripping. Fantastic job though
It's not ugly. Form over fashion wins every time! Yup I use my grinder to cut hardware cloth as well. Game changer for sure!!
Your daughter is so adorable! It bothers me that you call her “buggy”. Nicknames are hard to get rid of and she has such a pretty first name! Meg is so good in the kitchen! 👏
When we first moved here, the wheelbarrow tire went really bad. So my husband made a wood wheelbarrow tire which worked great for a couple years.
My husband always uses his grinder for hardware cloth or any metal fencing time saver and usually a hand saver no more sore hands trying with snippers
So much fun to watch! the new bed is great! So much family love!
Oh what a coincidence, it's bread day here too! Loaf, cornbread, and tortillas :)
That water trailer is great. I'm glad you got better wheels. I like your pop-up. I do that too where I don't have them have food all the time. I ration the food so they can't eat themselves to death! Yum, pumpkin soup from Brett's garden! Good, the pumpkin is mostly good! Good idea by adding the sweet potato and the carrots. You are such a good cook Meg! I never knew about a air prune box for starting trees. Cool! So burning them makes them last longer? Nice tip about using the grinder with a cutting wheel to cut the hard cloth! Thanks. Nice project. Thanks for this Hollar family!
I always get so hungry when Meg cooks! Yummy.
Ben,the water wagon is cool,great job making some things easier y'all stay safe.
Always happy to see another one of your videos pop up to watch! Thanks for the awesome content!
My worst chore, dragging the hose. You gave me a great idea 💡. Getting busy tomorrow. ♥️ thank you tons.
Greetings from South Africa you beautiful family! I think the changes Ben made to the chicken tractors is a game-changer! Mabey, you should ask Jason to draught a printable plan of the complete thing, complete with the watering and feeding systems. Mabey in a few different sizes like 20 bird, 50 bird, and 100 bird housing sizes.
Love you guys, and God bless you.
I just discovered your channel a few days ago and I'm hooked on it already. I love how you all work together to complete what has to be done. In the videos I've watched so far, I haven't heard the boys complain once about helping their dad. I love the way you and Meg relate to one another too - the easy, frequent smiles and comaraderie you both display. I wish you all the best.
You'll never hear the boys complain. I've watched them since they lived in California and they were a lot younger. No complaints ever.
You guys are my fave channel to watch. Thank you for sharing...❤😊
Meg I make a peppermint spray (20 drops peppermint oil in a reg spray bottle of water) I spray the plant anytime I see squash bugs and anytime I harvest or prune. It covers the smell and repels them. I’m a city gardener and it works. I’m sure you have a few more bugs than I, but maybe it will work
hey meg have you tried cooking a meat loaf in your pumpkins? If not you should try it out it’s really good!😁
Meg, try making fried pumpkin. It’s an old fashioned depression food. Cut into 1” chunks, dust them with flour and fry them in butter in a big heavy skillet until soft inside and crisp outside. Season with salt and pepper. It’s honestly amazing. Hope you try it 🎃🎃🎃
Sounds delish!
I always roast the Pumpkin with the vegies before making soup. It brings out more sugars and flavor.
Or pumpkin and chorizo hand pies. Those would make a delish breakfast with huevos rancheros. That would make a great any time meal.
Or pumpkin chili. Or pumpkin muffins!
Dear Buggie, enjoy this time with your Daddy. The days go so fast and you will grow fast as well. Everyday is a treasure. Watching you and your Dad stirs up memories of happier times for me. Hugs and smoochies to all of you!❤
Listen Ben.. If that water cart saves you time and makes life easier.. it's a BEutiful thing. 😊
Love how Meg got creative 'flavoring' up that pumpkin soup. 🎃 Yum
Young man, you are a steward of your land by growing your own trees. Everything looks good!😊
Those kids love that golf cart you have some hard working kids too hugs
Ahhh, my morning fix with the Hollar fam☕️☕️. You both are so creative & the kids follow right along.
Have a great day 💖👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Make a Dutch door above your outside compost pile at chicken coop so you don't have to load it up drag it around and unload it. Simply throw it through the door,
Idea of motion-sensor lights is brilliant. Thx. Simple & Cheap.
I think Brett and Corbin have claimed the golf cart lol!
And just like that, Ben becomes a tree herder.
You probably need more trace minerals and calcium in your soil; that should help with the bug damage. You might try to find some source of kelp meal or like I get the concentrated powder and then mix and foliar feed. Helps a lot.
You are such good parents. Your kids are going to have wonderful memories doing stuff on the farm with mom and dad.
I love to watch your videos. What a wonderful family.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️lol when you were showing the chicken feed the cow heard you open the food lid and headed towards you.....
I love watching your videos! I just wish they were longer!
Sending love and blessings to you all!❤
Oh neat.... that air prune bed is such a neat idea. Can't wait to see what happens over the next year
Hey there Meg and Hollar family , always nice to drop by to visit.Sorry your pumpkin had munchers attacking it , your soup looks wonderfully tasty any way... You are very creative and gifted in the kitchen Meg , always nice to see what is cooking..
Awesome soup. Never thought about Chorizo … will give it a try.
I’m glad to see all the things coming together to make your life a bit easier. ❤
Ben, you are so so creative. Keep it going, we really enjoy seeing these projects and updates. And Meg's loving meals. 😊
Making regular things easier and faster gives you time for fun things. Love your team:)))
THANK YOU SO MUCH BEN for the demo on cutting the hardware cloth. That is the worst thing to do on any build. Cutting that hardware cloth using a shears etc. Many cuts, pokes and injuries.
Y’all are my #1 evening show❣️
Love your air-pruning box! I always get great ideas from you guys!!!
I always learn so much from y'all. Happy Fall & cooler temperatures. God bless
Pimping out the water wagon with some white smoothies 🤙
I enjoy your videos so much. Thank you for each and every one.
Love your watering system for the meat birds Ben. Wish Al over at Lumnah would make one the same for his lot. Clean water is extremely important for their health. Cheers mate!
Ben give us a tour of all them trees you planted some time back.,I’m thinking at the edge of the drive or perimeter of your area your property
💚 Your meat bird set-up is so greatly improved, thanks for sharing your upgrades. Nice seed bed for trees. Buggie is SO helpful and was in heaven riding on the tractor with Dad, another yummy pumpkin meal from Brett's patch. 💚
Wished I had You Tube when I had my Farm, Now down to hens and a pair of geese , But I m 82 so thing s are easy now . Love your family and your wife cooking LOL Thanks
🩵I think the water wagon is so clever! Maybe paint the wood? My problem is too many trees lol. I may be able to fit a bonsai tree somewhere 😆
On the next chicken tractor, you could try horizontal chicken nipples or the little cups for water--see if they waste less.
Buggy is a typical girl she can go thru multiple outfits in a day poor mom’s laundry burden. She is a adventurous and active daddy’s girl.💞
That's a cool planter to start trees. Keep us updated when you add the compost and seeds please.
Ben for the egg layer chicken coop. To keep the mulch inside of the chicken coop, place a sheet of sheet metal or even a sheet of Plexi glass (plastic) 6 to 12 inches high from the ground up all around the inside wall of the coop, to keep the chicken scratching's inside of the coop. and will help with detouring ground predators from reaching inside of the coop grabbing the chickens.
Very cool and relatively easy! Looking forward to seeing how it goes! Meg great idea for more flavor for the soup! It looked delicious! I wish my husband was more of a squash fan! He would like the chorizo! 🧡🤎💛
You are a real handyman and teach your kids at the same time. 💞
You guys are living a groovy life.
Meg, the soup looks delicious! To be honest: I've never had pumpkin soup. But thanks to you I want to try it! And of course with chorizo.
The both of you look both really tired, especially Meg. This season of preservation must take it's toll on you two. I hope things will slow down now, so you get some well deserved rest!
Saying hi from the Netherlands. 🤗
Pumpkin soup is a very popular option in many restaurants in Australia.
Try roasting in the oven first, then puree. Delicious.
Ben, how about adding a hose reel to your water tote. The tote is a great idea.
Meg is such a beautiful lady, excellent mom, faithful priceless wife, excellent baker. She is the absolute heart of your beautiful family & life. I hope she never feels degraded "being in her element". We know you, Ben, didn't mean the introduction you gave for Meg, as degrading in any such way! People just joining need to know this.
After 8 years of raising CC, we finally got the Bresse for meat. Yep, the CC are just nasty birds, but they do taste good.
I hope you show us how you make your golf cart solar. It's been my goal for a long time to have a solar golf cart.
Solar charging station, not solar golf cart.
Meg needs a cooking channel . I would watch .
Awesome job building then coups Ben n the watering systems its wonderful dor the lights to keep predators away
Hey, to a woman who had to carry (2) full 5 gal pails or pull them (3) in a lil red wagon out to our calf hutches and any sick cows or anything, growing up, your wagon looks great ! Not that I didn't appreciate the muscles... but across lumpy side hills, and in winter... . I worry that if u use any smaller dimension of lumber to built your chicken tractors, they'll blow over/away too easily in high winds.. .
All those pumpkin seeds. Yum. That’s the only thing I keep from pumpkin for my own eating. In our house the pulp was always used for dog food. Another great episode. You are such a lovely family.
