Hi, Jason and Lorraine! It does my heart good to see you in your little truck bouncing around on your farm. Y’all are chicken whisperers. I pray your turkey count is still at 17. I pray for those little gobblers daily. Oops! You just verified the turkey count.
Randy is back ….he’s been missing for a long time. Welcome back,!Randy!
Love Randy!
Love how confident and relaxed you both are now. A year ago you seemed so insecure and had imposter syndrome. Love the confidence! You’ve earned it and deserve it!
Jason don't forget to tell Lorraine how wonderful she is,wow what a mentor. now I hope I said that correctly lol.Lorraine you do an amazing job explaining how to, too everyone,your so well spoken,and kind,its fun to watch your channel, you and hubby are full of knowledge. TU both.
😂😂🤣 "Zeke, what's up Zeke!"..😁😁😆 I love it!!
😊😂me too laughed much! Good old friend of Jason😁
I wonder if Zeke has a piggy RUclips channel where he talks about the crazy human driving by in the little truck.
One should be giving thanks every time the family is together, it's a blessing!
Another great saying for a TShirt! "All I do is put out fires" as good as "I'm nothing but a landscaper" and "I don't trust no pigs!" LOL Great video!
I love ALL Sow the Land videos!

Got my meat birds heading to butcher house soon. Sold them to my farm to table at the extension office. So excited to be able to be the one that presents the main dish at the festival ❤❤❤ all my birds ❤❤❤
We like to harvest ours in 2 waves.
Take half - the Big Chonkers in the first wave. Wait 10 days to 2 weeks on the second half - The Runts & Smalls.
The extra time gives 'em a chance to catch up on some body weight ... plus gives us a break rther than one super long processing day, we've got two more leisurely days.
Turkey workshops please!!! I learned soooo much from your chicken class this year and would absolutely love to come back to learn how to process turkeys from you guys. Please consider adding a class.
I voting best cook, cleanest kitchen on you tube.
ohh the peach/pepper glazed ham sounds wonderful
Wow Jason the Turkey's look wonderful, man y'all got great birds this time.😄👏💞
Hello, tks for video. Lorriane meal looked super good and plenty of food. Thank you for showing all pigs and piglets....just love them and Zeek. Happy you were able to fix soaker hose. Much love to ya.
Hi Jason. The bunnies will bite your irrigation and make the little holes. They are pain when you think your plant is being watered and discover it wilted because the bunnies ate seeking water too.😅
When I was a kid, back in 50's - 60's, my dad and grandmother never wanted a chicken bigger than 3lbs! Their fav was a 2 pounder! 🤣🤣🤣. These big chickens today are strange!!! I swear, you buy chicken today that are like turkeys!!
yep, I have a whole chicken in my refrigerator to cook tomorrow and it is so big I know it is a Frankenstein chicken and just will not be right, if you know what I mean.
Yes, where I grew up in the fifties, chickens were ONLY around 2 or 3 pounds--that was normal. When I came to this country in the late 70s I was horrified at the huge size of the chickens! Way too expensive and for a family of five the small ones were quite enough--even for leftovers. And they seem to have become even bigger since then! Personally I can't even eat those Frankenstein chicken giants with the huge breasts and small legs--even the organic ones, the meat doesn't look right inside and to me they don't even taste like "real" chicken anymore!
That was a huge dinner and it looked so great.. This is why I want to farm. No rush to the store “oh I forgot something!”, clean dense food…fulfilling food .. no extra out put in cash 😅😂💪🏽 you all inspire me
Nice video...enjoy your Thanksgiving in July..food looked delicious...hard work always brings blessings❤🦃
Great video! Good chicken harvest and then into a grand family meal! (Loved the end music!!!) Blessings Kiddos!🌻🐛🌿💚🙏💕
Happy Thanksgiving in July! Your family is great, and it shows in each video. Thank you!
thanks so much, we appreciate it
Fun family time!
That bird and ham will taste just as good in July as it would have in November or December and that’s wonderful
Giving thanks for how well you are doing makes sense to me.
Enjoy your time with family.
Hello Jason, Lorraine and Penelope. 💕 Thanksgiving in July is a wonderful way for families to get together. You have so much food abundance on your farm. ❣️ Your hard work and farm planning works!! Hello to Lorraine's parents. 👋 Take care.🤗❣️🎉
"Hopefully it'll stay like this" & lightning 🌩 came up on the add 😂
Hi.... Jason and Loraine nice to see you Love watching your video homestead chicken 🐓 duck 🦆 goose farmer garden BYE 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍
Happy to see your pig’s feeling better!
Happy Thanksgiving, family. ❤
You are experts now at butchering. Loved seeing the piggies. ❇️💞❇️
We've done the cornish three times and each time the birds very different growth. I think possibly coming from different hatcheries. We raise heritage turkeys and chickens now even though they take longer we are always certain to have a harvest each year. We wanted to not rely on hatcheries any longer. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with others to help become more self sufficient.. Lorraine! Delicious meal !!! Happy family time.
Lol happy July thanksgiving. The food looked delicious.
Excellent idea, Thanksgiving in July. By Christmas time, you'll be hungry again.
Love seeing family come in to visit. While I do not have chickens, I think you definitely made the right decision to wait on the birds especially if they will grow several pounds in a few weeks. Yes, the feed is more but your value for each bird goes through the roof waiting if some double in size.
thanks so much. Yeah, hopefully they will grow at least 2 more pounds.
God Bless you guys!
I wish I could bottle your spunk,and energy Mrs Lorraine. Stay safe and have a great rest of your day with family on early Thanksgiving.😎
The feet on those chickens. Wow! They would make excellent broth. They are a different-looking Cornish cross.
So wonderful to see the cleanliness of your homestead. There is order in your life. I know it’s not for everyone but I thrive on order! That way there is nothing left behind and undone. Have a great chicken day! 😊 In Europe , a two lb chicken fed a family of nine Lorraine. Vegetables and starch made up the remainder of the meal. 😊 Where’s the weeding crew for the greenhouse? Happy Thanksgiving 🎉❤
I just love Thanksgiving dinner, and your family and homestead videos!❤❤
Yay! Thank you!
Y'all definitely are inspiring us to continue to push our mindset with our own farm!
You can do it!
First, thanks for sharing your families farm life.
Question: What do you do with the chickens that get slaughtered? Your freezer or share with the class in workshop??
Next suggestion for your daughter I know usda has a yearly grant she can get for raising an animal. Non pay back it is a real grant.
Next, she's home schooling, so let her build two plots o e for enough to sell directly on the farm when you do work shops. People love farm fresh, and your daughter taking the lead will give her a leg up, too!
Sell flower bouquets, herb bowls, and other plant starts.
Take some of those blueberry cane's every year and make starts in 2 years. It starts ready to plant organic farming practices. 10-20 per start , depending on your location..
Ton of ways to maximize your workshops!! Then, people know you have extra veg/fruit farm items. And if they follow, they know how to pay attention to see your offerings!!
Good luck
Heard of Christmas in July now we got what turkey independence?? Thank you, gobble gobble, you taste delicious and smell even better
Such a responsible decision. Even though it’s inconvenient to set everything back up. Love the vids!
Interesting. Good job. I am finding that this year, the lesson is patience. We can't grow garden's or animals by dates...and folks are so used to doing that. I get it , but this year a lot of folks are stressing out because their gardens went in late and birds are not where they figure they should be. I figure that It will be what it will be and there is no sense stressing over it...just pivot.
That ham looks so good. I’m convinced I could smell it, especially after you described the glaze.
My Mom and her friend used to raised White Plymouth Rocks for butchering. They were big chickens! They processed at 16 weeks but not the problems of Cornish X.
I thing they are great dual purpose birds. I have some in my laying flock and they are great layers. Big, hardy birds!
♥️👍😎🐓
What amazing abundance on your table for your Thanksgiving in July 😍😍
Love Your Videos!!!!
Lorraine, here's a suggestion turn the turkey upside-down breast aing on a baking bag. If you do this, it will literally fall apart.
Hi Randy, we've missed you!! When I grew up, it was standard to process 2-1/2# to 3# frying hens, they were so tender and juicy.
Awesome job !!!;!😊🙏👍❤
Pro- ductive day! Congrats, now dinner with the family, wonderful.
Good job! Take a rest Jason!
Family is everything......
Happy thanksgiving in July! God bless!❤️🥰🙏🏻🇨🇦🍁
Can small rodents get into your greenhouse? Looks like there would be more holes if that was the case. Those tomatos look fantastic. There didn't seem to be any bees around my house. I've noticed a decline over the years. Not enough flowers, I'm sure.
Great video Jason, I enjoyed it 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Happy Thanksgiving looks good!
Hello Jason,just got the video and dude the chicken s look great,I think your best ones so far .
The heat of the summer seems to make the chickens grow slower than in spring and fall. Must be all the extra energy used to keep them cooler rather than using it to grow.
BLESSED JULY THANKFUL DAY. 🙏 ✨️ 🙌
Dinner tasted so DELICIOUS.
MOM'S GREEN BEANS LOOKED GRAND. PERFECT FAMILY MEAL
GOD BLESS YOU.
SE MICHIGAN 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
They are looking 👀 a lot better than last year Jason 😅❤
It's to bad you can't elevate the plucker & put a wheelbarrow under to catch the feathers
yeah it's too bad
I have heard rodents sometimes chew the drip lines when above ground, maybe that's how the leak happened.
RANDY!!! Thanksgiving in July. I think we should start that as an annual thing!
Family time
@09:36 oh, what a harvest ✊🏾 How long can you keep the chickens in the cooler on ice until you have to bag & freeze them?
Happy Thanksgiving in July y’all
Wonderful video as usual. Regarding the chickens: I watched a video from Sheraton Park Farms as they were butchering Cornish cross chickens. I asked what breed because they looked very good, way too good. Thanks for the videos!!
Great video
some of those chickens look like regular flock chickens not cornish cross hugssss
Looks like Zeke sat on your oven roaster!
serious roasting going on
Happy Thanksgiving in July!!!
Do you think that the feed had something to do with the size and health of the chickens?
Yummy looking tomatoes Lorraine. And that ham and dinner delicious
We got 20mins in of rain!
Very good❤
Friendsgiving
Thanksgiving is family time even in July!
❤
I'm having the same issue with my second batch of chickens. It's 2 months in and they are still pretty small.
❤❤❤❤❤
When you butcher your pigs, do you only keep whole hams, chops, etc or do you also make bacon and sausage from the meat?
all of the above
Chickens don't eat as much when its really hot outside
Gobble, gobble!
I like that. Thanksgiving in July❤😊
God bless
I have watched most of your videos, can you talk about why you switched from heritage chickens to meat birds and some of the differences? I have concerns that the meat chickens, in particular the Cornish cross, aren't as nutritionally dense or as healthy a meat as broilers or heritage breeds. I would love to hear your thinking. I appreciate all your content!
I'll do both. both are great! but it's much cheaper to do cc.
But, sometimes those little ones do not grow given extra time. Blessings!
I really like that chicken tractor! Do you have plans for it somewhere?
Unbelievable how many commercials came up during this video at least 10 have come up every 2 minutes there was a commercial
wowzers
Wow! I only got 2 ads. That's weird.
😊😊
Nooice! 😎 STOC
That smoked ham 😢 . . . Omg..🤎
👏👏
Good Afternoon, @ 9 minutes in you mention how this years batch was smaller. Where did you get them from? I order from Murry McMurray and I notice the same thing. I was planning on butchering July 4th weekend and had to wait until this past weekend (7/20) to where they finally were big enough. I love your videos BTW.
Would love to know how you go through 240 chickens for a family if 3.. how do you usually prepare them?
eat some/give some away/sell some
Yeah, I'm not sure those were cornish cross. 😮
Hiya :)
