  • Homesteading got you feeling overwhelmed? Too much to do, too little time? I know how you feel. It's that time of year again when we step back and take a look at where we're headed. We want to do even better than last year. What will be next on the homestead? How will we manage it all?

    I absolutely love your dynamic. There are very few homestead channels that include both husband and wife (especially in the same episode, rather than each doing their own) and I love the energy between the two of you. Even if I'm not interested in anything that you're doing at the time, even if you're preparing foods that aren't foods to me, the relationship between the two of you and the relationships between you and your children is such a fun, positive and lively thing to watch. I appreciate your transparency and your willingness to interrupt your life to share your family and your journey.

    Alot of people think they are lactose intolerant or allergic to milk who aren't. Thought my youngest son was one of those. The problem was he loved milk and would sneak it. Because his symptoms weren't anaphylactic and he refused to drink fake milks I still kept milk in the house (mostly very phlegmy coughing that lasted an hour or so after drinking. Annoying and not good for him but not deadly). Long story shorter, we found out that if he drank that nasty tasting, blue-tinged non fat milk he was symptom free. Was talking about with hospital coworkers when dietician at next table interjected that he might actually be allergic to an antibiotic instead because the antibiotics used in cattle remain in the fat in milk. Turned out he was allergic to penicillin.
    Later I began dating a dairy farmer and when I was at the farm learning how things worked I found out that he didn't throw out the milk from cows on antibiotics because it would be too costly for them as a business. Yes, it is a law that they have to throw it away. But the inspector would let mom know in advance when the inspections/testing of his milk would be and on those days only he would throw it away. He felt that the processing of the milk eliminated any problems. Don't know whether that was just one bad inspector willing to let a friend know or whether it's standard. But even if you have one bad dairyman and 100 who follow the rules all their milk gets mixed together at the processing plant and even though the bad milk is diluted you may still have non life threatening reactions leading you to believe you are lactose intolerant or allergic.
    We switched to organic milk and no more problems. Would have preferred raw milk like I grew up with but not available in our area.
    After kids moved out I went back to regular milk to save money. Even though I have milder allergies to antibiotics than my son I had never had an issue. Assumed that there just wasn't enough antibiotics to be an issue.
    In the last couple years I began having painful gut issues. When I returned to organic milk those gut issues cleared up.

    • @morethanfarmers
      @morethanfarmers  11 месяцев назад +1

      Wow! This is an amazing testimony! Thank you for taking the time to share it. I've never heard of someone who's actually allergic to the medications given to the cows. It's sobering to hear what's in American food...it's crazy to think that some people are literally getting a dose of penicillin in their diet every day. So glad you're gut issues healed after drinking organic milk. What a blessing!

    I've been impressed with your YT channel, specifically because you're not "perfect", whatever THAT is, so you're coming across as very real and human. I find many YT channels are boring not because of content, but because they don't show the real struggle we all go through. I have lived on my property for longer than I can even believe, since I was 7 years old (I am now 73), and I STILL struggle with meeting my goals, with the weeds, and getting my food preserved, all of it. This year, everything was hit by flooding in Vermont, so I won't even GO there. I'll just say that my garden has seen better years, ha ha!
    But your personalities shine through in your videos, and that is what will make people gravitate to your channel, I believe. By the way, I just subscribed to your channel, because it's real. Carry on, guys!

    I farmed for 45 years. (I'm 71 now and a useless eater. 🙂) Anyway, I just found your channel and it's top of the line stuff. Now I just 'farm' a big garden. If I can keep the grizzlies out, I'm doing good! A tip on planting young pine trees - water the hell out of them, and don't think snow will water them in winter, But my main tip is to kill all grass at least 3 feet all the way around them. When they are little, the grasses take up all the moisture and nutrients. If you notice big pine trees on lawns, the lawns are dead under them. Shade is a factor but that big tree takes all the moisture and nutrients from the grass. We can, root cellar, dehydrate, etc. One thing I haven't seen you guys do is a freeze dryer. I know - the EXPENSE!! I was the same - until I got one. Talk about making the dehydrator obsolete. The big advantage is not needing so much freezer space and even a root cellar. People are freeze drying stuff in their freezers before freezer burn gets it! A Christmas idea - one year Dad got Mom an engraved saddle for Christmas. She was so impressed that she got him a nice sewing machine for Fathers Day. Cheers! :-)

      @@keeramitrokli5486 Sorry, it took me awhile to get back to this one. It can be really hard to please the kids, we know 😏 We'll see about a video on that. As far as a YT channel goes... Start by watching channels that you want to "be like". Look beyond face value and learn as much as you can about how they keep you watching. I started out taking the "Create Your Blog Dream" course by Lisa Bass from Farmhouse on Boone. She also has a YT course. It was good to get started, but some of her ideas were a little outdated. I'd really recommend the "30 Days to a Better RUclips channel" course by Video Creators. And listen to podcasts. I listen to Video Creators, Think Media, and VidIQ. I've gone back and listened to a lot of past episodes. I've drenched myself in RUclips information. To the point where I had to step back. But I learned a ton. If I hadn't done that our channel wouldn't be where it is today. And then you just gotta start. Your first videos will be your worst videos. I totally cringe at my first 30+ videos, slightly cringe at the ones after that, and will probably cringe at my most recent ones in 6 months 😉 It's a lot harder than I thought it would be! But, like most hard things it's rewarding. Let me know when you've got a couple videos out and I'll take a look 😊😊 Good luck!

I make a salt brine and soak the belly meat and thinly slice the back strap unrolling it to make a large piece. After brining for half a day at least, I season to taste and put in the dehydrator overnight. Checking on it to see the consistency and flipping it over partway in the drying process.

I could easily go without shopping for a year if I needed to.

      Oh wow. So sorry for your loss. I’m glad to hear though that this way of life has helped out at least a little. I’m sure it’s nice to have one less thing to worry about. Blessings.

    Crockpots are a Time saver for cooking. You can get one of those Light Timers and plug in your Morning Steal Cut oatmeal to turn on and off ! More than one Crockpot helps as well. To this day I love the Chili Recipe with the Chili powder and cumin powder. You can even just make a veggie and bean chili no meat. Dutch Oven Chicken is my favorite and I add the Sweet Potatos and celery in 1 hour befor done. Chicken is only done when the chicken leg bone comes out of socket " Effortlessly !
    If you have to tug - It is not cooked. The oven roasting juices make excellent Chicken broth which in a refrigerated state should be like jello. Low temperature roasting in Dutch oven is fun. I love your channel !

I know you like building your own, but you may want to reach out to Rescue Michigan Nature Now for some tips. I’ll look for their website. Keep up the good work!!!

    I'm surprised you didn't add getting your cow bred in this video! 😆 I'm in the midst of the AI fiasco with two of mine right now too. Love the recognition you gave your wife ❤️ you could use a cattle panel bent over to make a trellis secured on the four corners to t posts. I would just zip tie them or use bailing wire. Could even do grapes on the trellis 😊 love to see the video of jerky this year. Thanks for sharing.

    • @morethanfarmers
      @morethanfarmers  Год назад +2

      Haha yes! It's definitely top priority 😊 I just got her bred again two days ago.. we went ahead and bred her twice half a day apart too, so hopefully she takes this time! I was thinking of using a cattle panel for a trellis 👍

    If your planting vines I would recommend a seedless grape why because we have a seeded one and it’s not pleasant too eat I’ve tried juicing them when we had a huge harvest but we needed to put the juice through a sieve twice to take out the seeds - to time consuming but the flavour once we did it wascamazing

    Try Beit Aipha cukes. I grew them on a cattle panel arbor and they grew so well that I harvested so many cukes I had to give many away . They are so sweet and crunchy until the temps reach the 90's and then they turn bitter.

    I also have issues with my land getting soaked I live down hill so hard rains all flows down hill to me 🙄 but I put in 9 raised beds and put my free mineral tubs on free pallets I plant my tomatos and bell peppers in those 28 tomato plants and 20 bell peppers 😊 I grow as much as I can possibly deal with but now that I put my own irrigation in my life is soo much easier, the 20 grow bags will get replaced with more mineral tubs but they work for now. Now if I can keep the deer out I will do so much better.

    😆 I love the outtakes at the end. Those are some great goals. I was very overwhelmed this year and need to sit down and organize my thoughts as well. I can't imagine growing grapes will be very hard. They grow like weeds around here. We have some that were on a piece of property that didn't have any water for a very long time and they are still alive. They're probably 70-year-old plants. We got a couple hundred pounds of grapes off them this year.

    Certainly you can trellis your cucumbers. That's the only way to go. I arch cattle panels for my cucumbers and pole beans. Then I put a row of lettuce under it so the lettuce can get a little shade during the hot summer days. It looks really cool too. I also use cattle panels in the row for my tomatos. I just tie them to it. It works better than anything I have ever used and they will last Forever. Just a few little tips. I've been gardeing for 40 years. Love to watch your channel!

    I just found your channel and I have actually learned some new things. Especially appreciative about how to grow sturdier seedlings. I would like more info on this. I am in zone 7b and we go from winter/spring/90 degrees in a matter of a week sometimes. I liked the dream board idea and think I can use that to help me focus.

    Very nice content, thanks for creating videos and the honesty within them is so enlighting. For myself i started this year by renting 700 square feet of gardening space, its nothing like a homestead but im trying to figure out slowly what my family likes to eat the most, specific varities of those vegetables, for example we eat beans once a week, but we love the yellowish beans[wax beans], so ill grow more of those. Just like you guys i to have a lot of work still to do but i also have a plan and that helps a bunch, planning on creating my own fruit forest by November.

    • @morethanfarmers
      @morethanfarmers  11 месяцев назад +1

      Love this! Renting is a great idea...and starting small and building up is also the best way, imo, to start homesteading.

    My guess is too much milk. I’m sure you eat healthily. Remember adults don’t actually need milk and milk will bulk you up.
