In this series we're going to share how we live off of the food that we grow in our community garden plots, or forage and hunt in the woods. We'll share weekly updates to let y'all know how we're doing and pass along anything we're learning as we go.

You two are the most legit and intelligent people on RUclips. You'd do the same thing if the camera wasn't there. everything about you is real and genuine. You are not only down to earth but also intelligent and educated enough to understand what is truly natural and sustainable. It's good for you and the planet.
💯 no flexing about material things with this channel; just a wholesome smart family making Earth a better place
The fact that you guys are willing to offer a discount to those who are on government assistance is the most wholesome thing!! ❤ it clearly shows your values and beliefs. More than just money, we are here for the community 🙌 Bravo 👏🏻
Enjoy your videos. It is amazing to see what you can make. I am jealous where you live and the amount of foraging you have access too. Tonight I made a chili for the first time using tomatoes, pepperoncinis, onions, and garlic we grew and beans and a corn salsa I canned. We don't do 100% homegrown but most meals are 40-50% I'd say.
Lovely and informative content. I enjoy making tortillas using ground corn with about 1/3 acorn flour. It gives a slight difference in taste that keeps meals interesting. I think it is wonderful to eat what you grow and forage. I am an old woman who did such out of necessity in my younger years and keep at it still inspired by you beautiful young people.
I’m making acorn flour for the first time this year. Definite learning curve! Hadn’t thought about including it in tortillas. Thanks for the suggestion!
Good for you. Glad you are making acorn flour. It makes for a hearty baked good like muffins and a filling and delicious breakfast like pancakes.
I was inspired by your videos using the deer tallow, and I was able to get five pounds of it off my husband’s deer this year. I made a tallow lotion that feels great!
You two have eaten more corn in 6 weeks than I have in my whole life 😁
Thanks for those amazing and inspiring videos 🙏
Love the sustainable hunting!! And loving the series overall.
You can see that eating the way they do keeps her glowing 🌟
Much respect to you and your husband
You guys gave me some duly needed inspiration #Blessings
Your videos are very relaxing to watch. I like seeing you make the most of the products you have available and the processing of them
Please make Tamales for Christmas. Yall already have all the ingredients except for lard but make them. Super delicious
Your videos just keep getting better & better. You are such lovely humans.
Thanks! Glad you’re enjoying them 🙂
I know this comes from a weird Thank you but still thank you. I just remembered a smell from when i was just a little one seeing my Grandpa's cooking. You may not understand, but that was the best Christmas present. Thank you seriously. Thank you.
I feel a strong sense of second hand gratification when you complete a complex meal made with what you grew. I suspect it's like an extra, really tasty ingredient in the dish.
yall are the best! love seeing all the gorgeous colors in the corn, beans, etc. Its also so cool that you guys keep in mind making this educational content accessible to as many people as possible. always looking forward to your videos!
love seeing what u guys can live off of just hunting/foraging/growing. I hope your challenge each year yields more and more for you guys!
I’ve been an avid hunter my entire life. My dad had me in a deer stand as a baby. My husband also grew up this way. All 4 of my kids have followed suit. It’s our main meat consumption. Always has been. You are correct. With the wildlife management (bag limits) and so many not hunting... there are more deer than ever. In Arkansas (such an underrated state. It’s absolutely beautiful here!) we are allowed 5-6 deer each year. Our season is 6 months (sept-Feb). And they are still everywhere and gardens must have a fence or the deer have a nice buffet!
Your harvest is gorgeous! Whole Foods could never!
I grew up on venison tamales and pozole. It’s terrific
I've never watched one of your longer form videos and I appreciate how much you just let the footage do the talking. Very relaxing to watch. I'm gifting the rhubarb jam, apple butter and salsa verde I made from my garden in MN (and a small apple orchard) and its nice to be able to share produce into these winter months!
Just keep in mind that many places are now over-populated by deer (mostly because humans made sure their predators are not around as much). But in many places, numbers are kept at what makes hunters happy, not what would be most balanced in ecosystems. We feed deer in winter, we kill them for food. I agree that it is one of the most sustainable ways, but it isn't a good sign that there are more deer now than there used to be. It is a sign of an ecosystem out of balance.
In New Zealand, this is extra visible: they don't have any endemic mammals, so deer don't belong there at all. But people there like exporting venison, so the environmental groups don't get listened to.
Hunting is a very complicated topic. I am impressed how well you handled it 🙂 I think you managed to piss neither side off. I don't think I would have managed that 😉
Oh, and I really enjoy your videos. 🙂
Bright blessings for you and your family, for the solstice! You are such an inspiration for me. This is how my wife and I want to learn to live. Sadly, she is allergic to deer, but we can find another means of sourcing our meat. I'm a newer subscriber, so this is the first year I have followed your "Living Off the Land" journey. You are providing such a wealth of information. Thank you both so much, for sharing this journey with us!
Also, I'm a huge fan of pozole, and menudo, too. My wife...not so much.
Thanks, my friend God bless you 2
I just wajted to say sunce there were a lot of comments on it last time, I love the audio/music balance of this video!
Yes, agree
Yum! Posole is now on my list of new soups to make!
Where I live I should be getting a lot of snow but we have like no snow this year it's pretty pitiful 😞
Have y'all tried doing squash and beans with the corn yet? 3 Sister's Gardens will help you optimize space and soil nutrients to increase your yield even more, and 3 Sister's Stew has complete proteins making the venison and fish redundant (redundancies are great!).
Also, all the nightshades you are growing can be grafted onto different potato stalks so you can gow them in the same spot. I suggest the more colorful options for the better nutrients!
They do plant using the 3 sisters method
Where did you buy/what brand or model is your corn grinder? Thank you.
Absolutely love these weekly vlogs!!
I really admire what you guys do.
This is so inspiring. Thank you.
Do you guys make broth from the deer bones? Or do they become treats for little moo?
Thank you for your Videos, they are soothing and inspirational
Slow cooked goat barbacoa with peppers and tomatoes is a delicacy in Guadalajara. It takes some time to soften the meat but it’s so good. I have had it with deer before and it Greg. Look up a recipe you won’t regret it
Love these videos. Definitely going to get some blue corn seeds for tortillas this coming growing season. May I suggest Bar Keeper’s Friend Cookware to clean the cast iron pot. Will remove all that build up . ❤
Spicy food, corn, and homemade? Reminds me of growing up in central Mexico
Beautiful
Do you guys by any chance have a cookbook with all of your recipes?
Good god I love y’all’s videos
Those tortillas look good!!! I’ll bet you make the best tamales too.
Don’t know how I found you guys! But since you’re from Pittsburgh, HELLO FROM BELLE VERNON
I love the mindfulness and knowledge you provide in all your videos! How much money are you spending weekly on food during your challenge? I am curious how much the fruits of your labor all year save you during your living off the land challenge ❤️
deer are incredibly overpopulated in the eastern us. 30 deer per square mile is on the high end of estimates. normally I see 20-30 deer/mi2 in research. the healthy carrying capacity (how many individuals can the ecosystem have before there is negative affects) is 10-15. I have heard deer referred to as a native invasive species. they are preventing our forests from regenerating. we need more people to eat wild venison. thank you for bringing more attention to this issue and I really hope you don't get any hate over it.
Love from India 🇮🇳
I like that
Try making pudding with corn 🌽
Do you guys save the corn silk? It’s a great herbal remedy
Do you use the corn silks to make a tea
Do you guys pressure can yet?
❣️
I’m curious about the deer tallow. Was the deer you got the large amount of tallow fat or is it to do with the different seasons. Basically what I’m wondering is, is it unusual for a deer to have so much fat.
You also can make tamales
I was wondering how you grind wet corn!
They take out the stone grinding heads and switch to steel burrs, explained at the 1:57 mark. I wondered about that, too. ;)
I'm so jealous that some people get to live that life. I really feel like this is how we are intended to live. Nothing could be healthier. How did you sustain yourselves income wise while getting started, get the land, etc?
We don’t own land, we rent community garden plots and forage on public land. And we have jobs to sustain income. This is just our hobby
@@HomegrownHandgatheredWow, you have a very nice community. The best I could do from a community garden is 1 meal a week from a 4x20. No way could I grow enough to have any to store. I don't think there is any public land that would allow for hunting for 100s of miles. Your state has perks!
❤❤❤❤
U guys are so DISAPLINED.❤❤
you need to add "week 6" in the title, great video!
Oh i hope you guys get a sponsor or i dunno of you guys have heard of the app that justin rhodes has done. Would be great to get into that community and make some money there xx
