    About:
    Jason and Lorraine. In 2016 we sold most of our belongings and left the city in southern California to start a small homestead in the mountains of North Carolina. We left the city in search for a more minimal and intentional life. We became passionate about growing our own food and knowing what exactly is in our food after I (Jason) became diagnosed with cancer. Now 8 years in remission we as a family are on a journey to live our passions.
    We document our life on RUclips videos to inspire others to get out of their comfort zone and not be afraid of change. We started our own online general store where we have available the things we make and use in real life. Thank you for following us on this incredible life changing journey!

    I finally found the perfect homestead channel in the exact position as me! I'm about to close on 1.7 acres of land, and put a single wide mobile home on it. And I plan on doing all the gardening and animals and water catchment that you guys are doing. It's nice to see an example of what someone does with the exact same resources available to myself

    I love what you have done with your Land! We started out in our dream area -- but with about 8 acres. We wanted much more space. It turned out that every lot connected to us eventually went on sale and we bought them -- 5 in all! We found our bigger space right where we sat, and now have 35 acres. We built our own house -- I'm adding onto it right now -- and the next addition will be my woodshop. Like you, I am a woodworker (cabinetmaker for 20 years and owned a furniture company for 10), and can't wait until I have a shop to work in again!
    If this place gets too small for you, keep an eye on the adjoining properties -- you never know when one will come up for sale! Now I need to search your videos to see your shop. Thanks for the tour!

    I love your video, thank you.
    During the depression, my grandparents bought a farm and lived off of it, they would use the creek or spring to store milk and other items that could spoil. I'm not sure how they did this, but i think it was just a simple cavity surrounded by rocks where they would submerge perishable items in the water to keep them fresh.

  • @rockbay79
    @rockbay79 4 года назад +4

    I wish more young people would live like your family does! Back to nature, back to family-centered life. Much more peace and connection. I love that you incorporate your Daughter to duties as well. Teaches good learning skills. Loved all your hand-made items! I like to recycle things. I even make bird houses out of cleaned and washed Detergent Buckets. They hold up really well and the birds like them. :)

    @graceaxisa4213 4 года назад +28

    I agree! Starting small makes absolute sense to me, especially when moving from a suburban/urban property. Starting small means you can set up crucial infrastructure that won't overwhelm you and that you can, in the long term, sustain. But it is amazing just what you can achieve with one and a half acres! I loved this video and I love the way in which the information was presented. The pace was just right and I really appreciate your energy and enthusiasm. What a wonderful life you are providing for your daughter! PS Love the kitchen!

    Kudos to you for starting small, I'm starting on a third of an acre in an HOA, not ideal of course but I have lots to learn before biting off more than I can chew. Just like you guys I have a desire to be successful at this endeavor, and don't want to do nothing while I'm waiting to get a bigger piece of property. So for now I feel blessed to learn and my small little space 🌻

    I love it! This is great! I love to see people leave the “city of angels” for all the right reasons and succeed! God bless you and your family!

    I love your homestead!! Its so clean tidy and organized! I love what you have done to you home. Lorraine your kitchen is amazing and I agree, when we have doors, as humans, we tend to stuff things inside to deal with later. Your home looks so spacious!
