    Looking forward to following your journey. I understand you want to grow or forage everything. It doesn’t sound like bartering is part of the plan. One year while living near the ocean we caught the bulk of our food. As friends and neighbors found out we always had fish and crab in the freezer we were often asked if we would barter especially for the crabmeat.

    • @LovinofftheLand
      @LovinofftheLand  4 года назад +2

      Yes, crab meat is definitely a hot commodity, even when everyone lives so close to the ocean!

    We just moved from Texas to South Dakota and are finally getting to live our dream of having a real farm. With everything going on in this world, my husband and I have been wanting to become one with our surroundings and learn to be more self sustainable. I came across your post in one of the Facebook groups I’m in and was led to your channel (which I’ve subscribed to!) and you guys are giving me the motivation and encouragement to do this exact (or similar) thing out here. We came from extreme heat to now extreme cold and snow (blizzards) and heavy winds. I’d love to see if we would survive a year ourselves. Stef did an amazing job harvesting the chicken for her first time (I still have yet to do that). I will be following you guys to learn as well and wish you all the best!!!

    I just found your page, love seeing other people that realizes how much we depend on foods from stores. I have been home from work since March 2020, and it truly did show myself, husband and our daughters just much we depend on all grocery shopping and going out for a bite to eat, dropping i’m at a Dunkin or Starbucks for coffee .i have always has three raised gardens, but with still being home for 17 months now, my husband is a very handy guy and he made three more raised beds for us to be able to grow more veggies, berries, herbs and melons. we have added more tomatoes plants nasturtium flowers that are edible (both flowers and green leaves). I love what you are doing On another note trying to eat healthy for some people that strict diets for example would be for diabetes. You are only able today eat certain foods (mostly veggies) but if you go in the stores for them it cost so much money to eat healthy that a lot of people cannot afford healthy foods. i think what you are doing is great and keep up the great work! i’m sure you have taught many people out there how and what they can grow or make with all of the foods you supply yourselves.

    Okay so I have to say, your videos have me believing I can do anything I put my mind to! You both remind me so much of myself and my husband. I want nothing more than to homestead. I’ve been slowly learning how to be self sufficient. RUclips has been super helpful and then to find your videos! Thank you for your candor. I’m so excited to watch more of what you have going on and can’t wait to see what I learn over the next few months. We have had a garden before but this year was our first real attempt at tomatoes, peppers and squash. Over this winter we plan to prep for next year’s garden. There is so much to do to be ready in time but I know we can because we both want it! Sending all of the successful vibes and love!

      We have about 1,500 seedlings in 4" pots on our property but will continue to let them grow until Fall. Still confidently on track for 4000 by the end of the year. Our video in about 3/4 weeks from now will be an update on our tree progress :)
