Watching Meg cook reminds me of my grandmother.She made the best baked beans and brown bread,all baked in a brick oven my grandfather built for her.She was a traditional Maine farm wife who raised almost everything she needed.
Your family takes the homesteading prize for ingenuity. The chain flail, the yummy food made without a recipe, the random sprouted peach pits and that are now trees. I am inspired by your creativity.
Every time I see Buggy eating I crack up. She is going to be so knowledgeable about food and food processes. She just jumps right in there, well some times she "hides" right in there, lol. I love the free range Hippie Piggies! They have complete trust in Ben that whatever he is doing is going to be good for them. Nice video, peace.
No measuring necessary...it comes from the heart!!! I'm so using this on my Grandchildren when they want my recipes...lol. thanks Meg for permission to cook as we please and with our heart.
Meg love the way you feed your family meals. Our parents were feeding 7 on what they had. Dad worked at a grain elevator and mom ironed clothes for the public. 6 bushel put up then do 6 more from farmers all summer. Chickens ducks and fishing. Meat only when we had extra $. Mom would say throw together was what leftovers from main meal for alot of meals. Your never feel sorry for giving a nutritional meal. I'm 69 and remember what we had on hard times. Bless the hollar family. Also back up meatloaf yummy. Red beans cornbread lambquarters greens etc. Best memories Mom
Your wife reminds me of my grandma, not that she looks old but she has her personality, she's a great cook, knows her way around food. She looks like my Grandma when she was young, and she is so loving, and so attentive to all of your family's needs.🧡🧡🧡🧡
I remember eating at my MIL's one night and she knew I didn't like yellow squash. As she was passing around the different sides she offered me what I thought was corn fritters (I could see the corn in them). When we finished the meal, which was excellent, she was an amazing cook, she asked me how I like the squash fritters, and just laughed. She said she threw a couple of tablespoons of corn in them just so I would try them. I have loved yellow squash ever since.
Your videos over the past couple years have brought such joy to my life and get me through the tough times, Makes my dream of homesteading one day look easier and easier. Hoping for bacon seeds soon, I'm curious how well they are turning that forest into more usable land for your amazing family.
A great chef never measures and cooks from the heart right on the money Meg. My mother-in-law always canned what we called loosy meat (beef) delicious along with homemade biscuits with strawberry freezer jam, mashed potatoes and veggies yum. Ben your quite knowledgeable about the soil and the peach trees are growing fast. Can't wait to see what trees you'll be planting. Piggy's are so cute, wonder how many the next Nana will have. Bonus video Saturday yeah. Blessings to you all. 😊🇺🇲
@@fraija4223 I doubt that Ben will cut his beard off. I've had a beard for 50 years and was tempted to cut it off when it was her dad gone blistering hot. Instead I trimmed it and brushed it to let the air go through it to make my face cooler.
Please never stop showing your prayer time before dinner❣️❣️❣️You bring tears to my eyes because it has become so rare to see families thanking our Father for what He has given us. God bless you all, In Jesus name!!! Shirley from Baltimore/Florida If you’re ever in Baltimore you’re welcome to stop by my church. Greater Grace World Outreach Church
Love the way you both think outside the box: Chain flail tool for bushwhacking, growing your own peach trees from the peach pits, planting them in the forest and then figuring out why they were growing faster there than the orchard. Meg scoffing at measuring :”You cook from your heart!” And Buggy letting you know that she was hiding, eating a secret snack. There’s always observing/thinking/learning…always something interesting going on. I love your RUclips channel. Thanks for all your hard work and for sharing what you do.
Question: have you thought about doing some rain catchment from the roof of that pig shelter? I know it's not big, but I bet you'd catch enough water to make quite a difference in your need to bring the hose to fill their tank. Just a thought. I don't have animals myself but I've seen other RUclipsrs do such things.
You mentioned the peach-pit tree up above with the forest soil biome established in that plot. THANKYOU. Super important info for me in establishing my future orchard! Got the spot! On my tiny acreage. I grew up, 13 to 17 in an apple orchard of 9 acres with the irrigation responsibilities. Whole cycle is in my heart, prune in winter, water, talk to the trees, watch apples grow, harvest, eat early green apples with lotta salt, haul trailer loads to packing shed. Yeah, my heart aches for an orchard after all these years. THANKS FOR WHAT YOU FOLKS ARE DOING!!!!!
Another great video from you all. Meg cooks from the heart and it is the Best! The little piggies are so cute and more on the way . Fun!!! Lots of Bacon. Buggy hiding in closet to snack was too cute. Your boys are always close by to help. 💜
🛑Y’all are capable of building a Ingalls wagon and going from one coast to another, with 5 kids and surviving. Meg, Ben- y’all Rock!🤩 Love y’all bunches 🤗
That chain flail is brilliant. My hubby is going to see this video so he can make me one. Thanks for the awesome idea Ben! There is something magical about piglets, idk what it is but they warm the heart. Thanks for showing us another snapshot of your world, it was very inspirational!
You always have something different to share, the pigs, the chickens, the garden, and of course the kitchen. Always interesting to see Meg prepare meals that all seem to be easy peasy to put together, and always look delicious. Looking forward to the next episode of the Hollar Homestead life on the homestead. Thanks for sharing a part of your life with us. :)
Congratulations on another litter of piglets exactly what is expected for this life style! Great idea for the start of a Food Forrest. You guys keep doing what you are doing. Wow got this bonus video Friday yeah 👍 It is a blessing seeing how your family is together for meals always giving thanks.👍
You guys are so lucky for the bit of rain. My mom tells me I used to sit inside the cupboard and "hide" while she was cooking. Meg, I love your style of cooking. I can never do the same thing twice, haha. Looks like the little piggies are doing well. I was surprised to see you caught a couple Ben. Dinner sounds delicious. AND, lastly, LOVE to can meats. I've done chicken, porkchop, corned beef, small amount of steak because I'm avoiding cramming anything else in my freezer!
It must be so satisfying,to look out in the morning,and see how much food security your hard work has provided,in a short amount of time. This life you have,at this time is a real blessing. I love you all sitting around the table and praying. God Bless
So glad your content wasn't about the government trying to take over our freedoms. Love your channel and just wanting to take a break from the gloom and doom stuff. Your content is just about God's great earth and what comes natural to the love he's given us. Bless you and your family for this gift you have shared with us all.
Oh my gracious. How sweet when you all sit down to dinner, hold hands and pray. Little Buggy’s head goes right down!! Great videos!! Great values!! Great content!! Great family!! I love you guys if you couldn’t tell!!! 👍
This video’s intro was really great Meg! You got your music perfect with the actions to bring us in. I love ALL your content, and I got very spoiled during your month long “30 videos in 30 days” lol. My only suggestion for the intro would be to slow down the fast forward a little bit more, Ben looked wacky cray going at those speeds 😂 Adore your videos, luv you guys, and thank you so much for all the AMAZING good content 😍 ❤️❤️ April from Modesto CA
This is so why I love ya’s channel ..because ya take US with ya on your Journey..,on Homesteading …I learn a lot from ya .. The wasp story you said the other day how they are beneficial to the garden I have a lot of wants and now I know they’re getting them bugs which makes me happy…thanks for making me understand that
How pretty is that , you praying 🙏 Thanking the good Lord for your food. What a sweet family, piglets are so cute. And working with your son's, baby girl eatting dates, the frozen spinach wasn't a hit with her, but she tryed it. So adorable talking so much now. Another great vidio. Yes your wife cooks from the ❤️ Heart of Love. I had five kids and a husband who always loved a home cooked meal.
I Love watching you two you always bring new ideas and Meg's cooking ideas I love . She helps me figure out things from the garden. Thanks for sharing you 2❤️
Ben, it seems you've really been reading up a storm or watching a lot of videos on "planting". Is it my imagination or do you know so much more about all this stuff than even just last year. Kudos to you, I think your thought process is spot on! It's great when things click & it all starts falling into place. So proud of you guys ❤👍
💚 Great update on the pigs! Cool that you have so much forested land, too, with peach trees, from seed, loving the forest mycelium. Yummy Squash Fritters, Meg 💚
"I'm not telling you to do this, but I did....(the trimmer)". As an old fart with enough scars to prove it, you might consider chaps when using your 'weeder'. Love that thing. Snackman vs. StrangerDanger: Short and to the point. Husbandry - knowing the animals in your care and taking care of them. It's your 'everyday', but your compassion is demonstrated. Fritters! - oh man! We do a lot of seasonal root veggies that way when they become available and many (the roots) will keep if you have a cool cellar.
Thanks in advance for the Saturday bonus video, I can't wait! Enjoy your Friday night, guess it's too hot and muggy for Friday campfires this year. Goodnight y'all 🤗👍❣
I love watching your sweet family homesteading. It’s a shame someone doesn’t have a cream separator even if it needs some repair, my Dad put a Maytag washing machine motor when ours had needed a new motor. Your cream shows how good your milk is, looked so thick. Making butter with the cream and making cottage cheese with the skimmed milk, I love sprinkling sugar and nutmeg on top. So yum 😋. I think Meg is the Martha Steward of Homesteading! Sandi
I just have to say.....You and Meg are such great parents!!!! I'll bet there are no PHONE ZOMBIES in your household! Great job raising those boys. They will make great husbands some day. A homestead keeps your mind body and soul occupied. On a different note I like the grass in your beard. Lol and smart move....work with the lay out of the land not against it. I just found my first wild apple tree in my woods but it bears no fruit because it is too shaded.
Dude your living it... little hard work on your own land with a cook that loves you and children getting raised the right way teaching them the old ways... I'm just flat out jealous...keep up the great vids beautiful people ;)
Love watching your videos. I've not been very well recently, watching your videos have really helped me so much. Your all an amazing inspiration to me. Love watching Meg cook with Buggies help. Love and hugs to you all xjx
I go through phases on who I wanna watch first on RUclips of all my people I watch. I got to say right now you’re my number one who I wanted to watch first. I’m really enjoying you’re content And I love the story about compost pile and the trees. Thank you
I began to watch you over a year ago and you both made huge progress making video, it really interesting and fun to watch , its great to see happy family, good luck !
Have a great weekend y'all, love your family and all you do. The recipes are awesome and thank you Meghan for them. Your little one is so precious she makes me laugh. Blessing's to y'all
More Pig content ANYTIME! :) Love watching those little piglets.. they are so cute! I really like the chain trimmer... just wow! As always you provide great content and learning experience as well... Oh and those peach trees are amazing!
The greatest compliment I ever got from my mom was the day she said, “ of all my girls, you’re my best cook!” There were 5 girls and 1 boy. I am the youngest. I cook like Meg, from my heart!
Also, I love what you did with the weed eater. That has got to improve the action of the job. Weed eaters must have stronger motors than they had before. Your channel is where we're going to see it first because you are so motivated, handy, and inventive just to get things done with less stress and hard work. I hope that sounds positive because that is how at was meant. Thanks for sharing. Also looking forward to seeing new baby piglets.
Let the pigs clean up and then plant trees, cool! The piglets are so cute! Nice pig move. Did Biscuit knock over the camera? Cool, bonus video. Squash fritters look really good. Good idea Meg! Did you use lard to cook them or bacon grease? The chicken casserole dish looks great too. Great that you're getting more piglets soon. Thanks for this Hollars.
Funny thing all this time I couldn't wait 'til the metal shop was in production. In the meantime all the bushwhacking and composting things were happening. Who knew my favorite thing would be that ridge and power composting? 😂👍
You could also take some of the soil from up there and put it around your trees. Basically take two hand fulls per tree in the orchard. It will help get the Fungi started down at the orchard also.
Love the pigs update, and that awesome flail. We have the plain blade, which cuts just about nothing we need done. Yet have all these underbrush spaces a big machine won't fit into. Spouse was focused on that flail too. ;) Cutest cow ever, hope the camera isn't the one already needing repairs. lol Mama cow is such the grande dame beauty. Watched Meg closely with those fritters. We haven't been very excited by our squash fritters. Granted we used some sour milk-ish tasting yellow squash, but I think perhaps baking them is too bland for most yellow squash. For sure with this recent issue of the already objectionable flavor in the yellow squash. Need to try frying them, and use our zucchini. Shredded potato patties are always a hit. My hat went flying very theatrically up and away in the wind yesterday. Haha I tried positioning it higher on my head, to not damage the hairsticks, so that part worked! We were tying down plant structures against that same wind, and my spouse got a great laugh from the hat flight. Noticed our limas and poles are turning into thick jungles. Warning me they are getting geared up and I better be ready, because they will bring it! Looking forward to the nice change from mountains of bush beans. (Also wanted to add the music and volume were perfect! Shelling field peas, and didn't need to touch the volume, until ads which are not under your control. Chrome, Win10. )
Hi guys. You sure are doing a great job making your land a homestead home. Proud of you all ! Everything looks great. Love your cast iron Meg. I have a few pieces myself :)
Stranger Danger! This is the battle cry for the little piggies😂! They are so doggone cute😘. Your great idea of planting trees that you want is terrific and will turn into a great spot on the homestead! Can’t wait for the extra video🤗. Love you all💜!
Piglets are so cute. Need to make myself a chain flailer. Ty for showing yours again! Have huge wild blackberries and scotch broom of varying sizes on back 3 acres and it needs to go so the pasture grasses will come back. Great decision to start a food forest on the hill where soil is already full of soil biology and most likely cooler and retains moisture due to tree cover, years of tree leaf and needle litter. Old rotting tree roots and stumps still in the ground retain moisture and provide nutrients that living trees can use if their roots are close and soil life uses as well. Win win situation. The Peach trees up there are jamming! Have you thought about putting 1 1/2” poly pipe rolls and quick connect cuplers to where the pigs are for water ports every so many feet so you don’t have to drag 100’s of feet of hoses to fill h2O?
Cooking from the heart. LOL, that's my way! You've got a thief in your pantry😍. I remember when you added chains to clear the jungle, it was such a good idea!
Oh how I love to watch your interaction with each other, your animals and life. Watching you walking away in that one scene, you could see the team, the two being one as our Lord desires for His married children to be. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
I enjoy watching your videos! You guys work so hard, keep up the great work! I only have a little garden and some chickens ( I just finished my new coop) and the work never seems to stop! You guys are an inspiration, thank you!
We do make fritters with spinach, potatoes in chickpea flour , sometime mix salt pepper and some greens in chickpea flour and dip a sliced Brinjal in it and deep fry. Eat it with mint, coriander,greenchilli mixed with yogurt it tastes amazing
Meg I was hoping you would cook today. I think you do every video. The squash fritters was an exciting thought to me. Thank you. The piglets are so cute. Can't wait to see the next batch. See ya tomorrow
It looks Great, that tool really does a number on overgrown Stuff! The Piggies are adorable 😊. That's the kind of Storms we have 😱. This Bake looks Delish and quick 🙌. JO JO IN VT 😆💕
my favourate from my late mother is potato fritters (our family called them mock white bait patties a small native NZ fish) 1 cup of flour, 1 egg, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, salt and pepper and milk/water till it is smooth and as thick as you like it - in that mixture put in grated potatoes, cheese, onion and cooked bacon - cook in butter so delish
Ahh you missed the perfect pun! 1:46 The amount of insurance you need would be “off the CHAIN”, as Im informed the kids say 😂 Great setup down there. Those are some happy pigs!

I may not have noticed til now, but Buggy bowing her head all the way down during prayer is adorable.
Watching Meg cook reminds me of my grandmother.She made the best baked beans and brown bread,all baked in a brick oven my grandfather built for her.She was a traditional Maine farm wife who raised almost everything she needed.
You seriously need to learn proper English.
Your family takes the homesteading prize for ingenuity. The chain flail, the yummy food made without a recipe, the random sprouted peach pits and that are now trees. I am inspired by your creativity.
I just LOVE watching Buggy pray. Too precious.
Every time I see Buggy eating I crack up. She is going to be so knowledgeable about food and food processes. She just jumps right in there, well some times she "hides" right in there, lol. I love the free range Hippie Piggies! They have complete trust in Ben that whatever he is doing is going to be good for them. Nice video, peace.
What a lovely way to spend half an hour, watching you guys live your best life! Thanks for sharing your adventure with all of us😊

I go through phases on who I wanna watch first on RUclips of all my people I watch. I got to say right now you’re my number one who I wanted to watch first. I’m really enjoying you’re content And I love the story about compost pile and the trees. Thank you
I love that you kept the clip where the cow knocked over the camera in the video. It made me smile ☺️
I love watching Meg Cook!! Thanks for sharing.
I began to watch you over a year ago and you both made huge progress making video, it really interesting and fun to watch , its great to see happy family, good luck !
Have a great weekend y'all, love your family and all you do. The recipes are awesome and thank you Meghan for them. Your little one is so precious she makes me laugh. Blessing's to y'all
More Pig content ANYTIME! :) Love watching those little piglets.. they are so cute! I really like the chain trimmer... just wow! As always you provide great content and learning experience as well... Oh and those peach trees are amazing!
The greatest compliment I ever got from my mom was the day she said, “ of all my girls, you’re my best cook!” There were 5 girls and 1 boy. I am the youngest.
I cook like Meg, from my heart!
Thank you for sharing…
Also, I love what you did with the weed eater. That has got to improve the action of the job. Weed eaters must have stronger motors than they had before. Your channel is where we're going to see it first because you are so motivated, handy, and inventive just to get things done with less stress and hard work. I hope that sounds positive because that is how at was meant. Thanks for sharing.
Also looking forward to seeing new baby piglets.
Buggy has learned that frozen spinach is not exactly delicious. lol She is such a cutie!
I love your channel. You guys are awesome thanks for sharing.😀
Another Meg recipe I would have never thought of, I love squash excited to have a new recipe. I love when y'all film the Blessing ❤️
Let the pigs clean up and then plant trees, cool! The piglets are so cute! Nice pig move. Did Biscuit knock over the camera? Cool, bonus video. Squash fritters look really good. Good idea Meg! Did you use lard to cook them or bacon grease? The chicken casserole dish looks great too. Great that you're getting more piglets soon. Thanks for this Hollars.
It was lard 😊
Great job inventing awesome farm equipment from a modest tool ! You up-graded and super-powered it. You should get it documented as your invention !!!
Funny thing all this time I couldn't wait 'til the metal shop was in production. In the meantime all the bushwhacking and composting things were happening. Who knew my favorite thing would be that ridge and power composting? 😂👍
You could also take some of the soil from up there and put it around your trees. Basically take two hand fulls per tree in the orchard. It will help get the Fungi started down at the orchard also.
Love the pigs update, and that awesome flail. We have the plain blade, which cuts just about nothing we need done. Yet have all these underbrush spaces a big machine won't fit into. Spouse was focused on that flail too. ;) Cutest cow ever, hope the camera isn't the one already needing repairs. lol Mama cow is such the grande dame beauty.
Watched Meg closely with those fritters. We haven't been very excited by our squash fritters. Granted we used some sour milk-ish tasting yellow squash, but I think perhaps baking them is too bland for most yellow squash. For sure with this recent issue of the already objectionable flavor in the yellow squash. Need to try frying them, and use our zucchini. Shredded potato patties are always a hit.
My hat went flying very theatrically up and away in the wind yesterday. Haha I tried positioning it higher on my head, to not damage the hairsticks, so that part worked! We were tying down plant structures against that same wind, and my spouse got a great laugh from the hat flight.
Noticed our limas and poles are turning into thick jungles. Warning me they are getting geared up and I better be ready, because they will bring it! Looking forward to the nice change from mountains of bush beans.
(Also wanted to add the music and volume were perfect! Shelling field peas, and didn't need to touch the volume, until ads which are not under your control. Chrome, Win10. )
Hi guys. You sure are doing a great job making your land a homestead home. Proud of you all ! Everything looks great. Love your cast iron Meg. I have a few pieces myself :)
Happy Friday y'all.
enjoyed the video , moving the pigs, watching the piglets hide, and fixing the meal. have a great week
Yes! I love your reasoning about developing the former forested area as permaculture orchard. Smart.
Looks like an awesome plan for the pigs. The little piggies are so cute👍🏻😊
Love how Bug bows her head to pray.
Thank you! That chain flail was the perfect idea for what I need!
Stranger Danger! This is the battle cry for the little piggies😂! They are so doggone cute😘. Your great idea of planting trees that you want is terrific and will turn into a great spot on the homestead! Can’t wait for the extra video🤗. Love you all💜!
Oh baby pigs are just so cute. Loved all the different colours of the egg shells. Blessings from Australia ❤️
Piglets are so cute. Need to make myself a chain flailer. Ty for showing yours again! Have huge wild blackberries and scotch broom of varying sizes on back 3 acres and it needs to go so the pasture grasses will come back. Great decision to start a food forest on the hill where soil is already full of soil biology and most likely cooler and retains moisture due to tree cover, years of tree leaf and needle litter. Old rotting tree roots and stumps still in the ground retain moisture and provide nutrients that living trees can use if their roots are close and soil life uses as well. Win win situation. The Peach trees up there are jamming!
Have you thought about putting 1 1/2” poly pipe rolls and quick connect cuplers to where the pigs are for water ports every so many feet so you don’t have to drag 100’s of feet of hoses to fill h2O?
The little pigs are so cute. I can beef, pork and chicken myself, we love it for quick meals.
Cooking from the heart. LOL, that's my way! You've got a thief in your pantry😍. I remember when you added chains to clear the jungle, it was such a good idea!
Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. Enjoy your videos!
Oh how I love to watch your interaction with each other, your animals and life. Watching you walking away in that one scene, you could see the team, the two being one as our Lord desires for His married children to be. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
They are my TV show. My moto is I'd rather be watching the Hollars
I enjoy watching your videos! You guys work so hard, keep up the great work! I only have a little garden and some chickens ( I just finished my new coop) and the work never seems to stop! You guys are an inspiration, thank you!
The baby pigs are adorable and now there will be more!! Those fritters looked so good.
We do make fritters with spinach, potatoes in chickpea flour , sometime mix salt pepper and some greens in chickpea flour and dip a sliced Brinjal in it and deep fry. Eat it with mint, coriander,greenchilli mixed with yogurt it tastes amazing
Meg I was hoping you would cook today. I think you do every video. The squash fritters was an exciting thought to me. Thank you. The piglets are so cute. Can't wait to see the next batch. See ya tomorrow
It looks Great, that tool really does a number on overgrown Stuff!
The Piggies are adorable 😊.
That's the kind of Storms we have 😱.
This Bake looks Delish and quick 🙌.
JO JO IN VT 😆💕
I am New to your Channel. I really enjoy watching you and your family working together and learning things too. Thank you, GM
I Love watching videos of your wonderful family !!
my favourate from my late mother is potato fritters (our family called them mock white bait patties a small native NZ fish) 1 cup of flour, 1 egg, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, salt and pepper and milk/water till it is smooth and as thick as you like it - in that mixture put in grated potatoes, cheese, onion and cooked bacon - cook in butter so delish
Ahh you missed the perfect pun! 1:46 The amount of insurance you need would be “off the CHAIN”, as Im informed the kids say 😂 Great setup down there. Those are some happy pigs!
