I have to hand it to you, Meg and the boys in cleaning up that garbage dump they left not only in the yard , trees, farm house, barn and the mobile home etc. that was a lot of work. Most people would never have bought the place seeing what needed to be done, but you & Meg went nah, piece of cake😜. Seriously though, you've made a wonderful homestead for your family in just a few short years. Looking forward to the greenhouse build. Blessings to you all. 😊🇺🇲
Meat loaf, mash potatoes string beans, gravy.
My Husband's favorite.
That I have not made for him for years.
I use to make it at least once a week, when our house was filled with little feet, but as the kids grew, I decided to stop working out of our home. I had did home license day care for children, for many years in my home . So I got out into the World to working I got into caregiving for the elderly Memory, care. and Assistant living.
I will be Retiring soon at 66 years young. So now my husband will get a meat loaf,and mashed potatoes and string beans and gravy, homemade bread.
Believe me he will be a happy camper. He has been retired for quit a while. With
No more kids at home I just gave up making these kind of meals, I thought we didn't need it anymore.
But seeing Meg's cooking !
Is Telling me get back into that kitchen .
My man needs to eat homemade good food. My husband and I have been with eachother 52 years.
Meg your just Amazing.👌
Hey seeing all that junk, tells me clean out the junk doors. Your baby girl hair is growing in so cute on that pretty face.
And again love to see you praying 🙏 together for your meal, to our Lord
Cute busy vidio of a good everyday life of hard work, family , togetherness, and love for our Lord.
Beautiful Reminder. Of
God, family, and Country, "Living the American Dream"
In the End of life the only thing that counts is, Love for our Lord , and Love for a good spouse, and Love for your Children.., And your children's children. Taking care of the Elderly taught me that !
The only thing that counts in the End of Life when the Good Lord comes calling, is knowing Jesus our Lord and Family.🌹❣️
Stand Strong 💪❣️
Family you are setting a good example of how Love looks.
🙏 Dear Lord I am praying for your blessings on theses Beautiful people.

Romans 10- 8,13

Thanks for sharing.👍
Proverbs 3-5,6
I have followed Ben and Meg practically from day 1 and here is what I Love about these 2 youngsters. They have stayed true to themselves, they still film as much as they did when they have started this journey.
Far too many of them once they have reached 100,000 subscribers have lessened the videos they put out,it’s like they pay attention to the views they get and that is good enough for them.
One couple that I literally followed from their very beginning now has like 102 million subscribers and they only post maybe 2 times a week and that is all.
But not Meg and Ben. They still post 5 - 6 days per week. I know I sound like I am rambling and am jealous but I’m just stating why I Like them so much..
Keep up the good work and thank you.
WELL SAID! THEY KEEP ON KEEPING ON 🥰💚
Cleaning up the garbage pile had to be a whole lot more enjoyable than watching and watching was SOOO satisfying. Excellent!
You can never go wrong with meatloaf and mash potatoes. My wife makes the same recipe that my grandmother did and it is just so very good. Meg is always cooking up something that will feed a hungry family. You two are such a blessing to watch because of the way you have raised you children and to continue to do so. Thanks so much for all the fun and helpful videos each week. Have a wonderful week and God Bless.
Watching you clean up the trash makes me think about the fact that there is no such place as "away". You can't throw things "away". They just go live on someone else's land. Forever.
Which usually inspires me to buy less stuff that is going to have to be thrown away eventually.
That is a very sobering thought. Thank you for sharing
baby needs a swing! LOL Too cute 🌻
Meg, you could always can preserve meat and get more room in your freezer. Plus, if electric goes off for an extended time, you are not going to lose a lot of frozen food. I do stew beef chunks, ground burger (after cooking) boneless chicken, BBQ chicken and pork, and sausage balls (all meat, not fillers). Your yard/property clearing out trash looks great. WTG! Excited about your high tunnel.
Just wanted to say, your filming and editing has gone to a whole new level recently. It’s just great watching your place coming along so well. Love it.
Meg does a fabulous job of editing!
Buggy wasn’t a twinkle in your eye when you arrived here. But little by little you have really transformed that trash heap into a homestead thousands are envious of. 💕💕💕. Great job!!
When you build your green house don't forget to allow for compost pile for winter heating.
The decrapafication getting done has got to be so satisfying.
I know it's been on the list since you first walked the property and were shocked at just how much there was and now the end is in sight. CONGRATULATIONS! 😎
Decrapification…love it…😆🤓😆
Can't imagine tackling that trash pile without a serious tractor. That's incredible progress. 👏 hooray
I half expected you to need a hazmat suit moving that old trash! 😁 So glad you are steadily reclaiming your land, it's lookin' good!
Congrats on defeating the trash pike! You guys rock and have quickly become my heroes.
Congratulations on the greenhouse delivery. That's going to be another game changer for your farm. Can't wait to watch it go up. You are a fantastic homestead family. God Bless 🙏
Wow, that's a foggy morning Ben! I like the concrete statue by the spigot. Did you find that on the property? Nice milking routine! It's good you got your greenhouse now instead of a long time from now. Now you can put it up when things are done. Yes, I've been clearing out my freezer for my expected meat bird butchering in about a month. You have pigs to get in the freezer! I have tons of tomatoes but they are still all green! My pumpkins are starting to turn orange. Yum, mashed potatoes and gravy and meatloaf! Wow Meg, having to regrind your ground beef! So much you have to do! You must love using the tractor Ben. Nice place to put Bubbles and Lambchop. Thanks for showing us you using the tractor and cleaning up that junk pile! Thanks for this Hollars!
You both are some of the greatest “Creators” in videos I have seen. The angles and super shots are tremendous. Plus the everyday content is just wonderful. Congratulations on such successful content. Hugs from Indiana.
Great clean up, what a great feeling when something is completed. Thanks for taking us along. Buggy and the boys, adorable.
🌸😊🌸
Trash cleanup is satisfying. And Meg has the sweetest "bye" at the end. Great video.
Y'all are rocking it! Meg is my kitchen dream! Hey, the greenhouse will make a great spot for winter milking and tractor storage! Ben, you can make pallet \ bale fork!
Been watching old vloggs and the amazing changes you all have made on this little slice of heaven is truely amazing!
I'm so glad Meg perfected her meatloaf would have been a nightmare to loose her 🤣🤣🤣. I love how you guys teamwork to get things done ❤️👍🏾
They are Energizer bunnies.
Meg is a beast. She’s one hard working woman. Always canning and cooking and making meals. I hope you two take one day a week to rest.
Yes, I make sure to take Sunday’s to just sit and relax. ❤️
STOP WHAT YOUR DOING…The Hollar’s just posted and I gotta go watch! Can’t wait for the greenhouse to go up! Y’all have had a really productive year on the homestead! So many improvements and everything looks so fantastic! Blessings guys from your biggest fan🙏💖
😊👍
I always like the video before even watching!!
I feel the same way
Is that not truth?! I am moving and was in the garage and their video popped up. I had to tell the kids I needed a break. They don't need to know it was to watch a Hollar video! 🤫😂
I see all the old tires. They make great flowers beds after a clean up and some paint. I have a LARGE (lol) tractor tire in my back yard with my lily’s planted in them. 👍🏻❤️
My mothers favorite meal was meatloaf mashed and green beans. She passed in 2004 and we served that meal at her memorial. Your going to love the greenhouse. The opportunities are going to be endless now. 😀😀😀😀
You all have brought so much beauty to your homestead! Such a beautiful place for your children to grow and learn so much along the way. ❤️
Congrats on the greenhouse!! Having it will make a big difference with growing stuff😊
I'm so excited for y'all.
Getting rid of the garbage from the previous home owner is a good thing. Now you have the new space for the pigs. We have a space way out back where our previous home owner threw all his metal. We haven't targeted it yet. We eventually will, then we'll go to the metal place and sell rhem the metal. Might as well make a little money from it.
We've finally been getting rain, this makes me happy. The grass doesn't look so dead.
Meg, have you started your seed order yet for spring planting? I'm working on ours. I did get my flower order done, sent in, and have received those seeds.
Life is good!!
Glad your greenhouse came. I'm excited for you with that along with hopefully getting a dumpster for all of that garbage previous owners left. What a relief that will be for you all.
Looking forward to seeing the greenhouse go up and be put into use! Meg, what a day of canning all sorts of good things. Garbage consolidated! Excellent work everyone! Take care.
Yay, the greenhouse showed up. What an awesome feeling when it is put up. So glad you moved the garbage. Area looks better.
Please take care and be safe
So happy your getting a green house. Cannot wait to see that come together.
Meatloaf and mashed potatoes is my favorite meal too! Your meals always look amazing!
Love it. Okra looked good. Glad you got your greenhouse. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.
Whoohoo garbage day!!! Green house built😀🤗👍❤have a great evening
Can’t wait to see the greenhouse go up. I hope it doesn’t ruin your view though… loved the intro as well
From California… you are my favorite homesteading channel! Love watching all of you, especially Meg working her magic in the kitchen! Great background music!🌺💫
Thank goodness for that tractor - it even made this project pretty much possible in a day.
Awesome ! So happy for the greenhouse for you guys !!!!!!!
Yay, goodbye to nasty trash pile to utilize land for something you want. I love hear and seeing how Meg cooks. Bless y'all for such great teamwork. ❤
Yeah, that’s the green house!👍🏻😊❤️
Been watching y'all for while. Meg, you are the hardest working woman in that kitchen I've ever seen! Good to see everything y'all have done to improve the place! Wonderful!can't wait see your green house up! This will offer longer growing time!
Seeing the planter house will be a deal breaker 😀
I'm so excited for you to have your greenhouse!! Yay!! You're the second homesteading video I've seen that's had meatloaf and mashed potatoes. It's MY favorite meal too and now I'm gonna have to make it ASAP because my mouth is watering.
En France c'est un "hachis parmentier" Mr Parmentier à introduit la pomme de terre en France à une époque de disette. La méthode était rusée ...et à sauvé tellement de personnes
YEAH new video.....can't wait for the greenhouse to go up. Love and blessings to you all ❤ xjx
Love the tractor & the thought of a greenhouse is so exciting!
Root cellar calling for you to build in the hillside!!
Love the greenhouse delivered for replacing your bathroom seed area!!
Blessings!!
From watching other homesteaders, when you put your green house up, i would recommend putting down good weed fabric beyond the width of your greenhouse so you don't tear up the plastic when trimming, and it will make it easier to mow around it.
💚 Woo Hoo Hoo, get da garbage gone! (ish..LoL). Love the masks on the prosciutto/hamshanks) keeping the drips from dropping! Best job for a mask..ever! 💚
My friend was telling me today about going on hunts with her dad to farm. And going throughout their trash piles that had been there for years. Finding all sorts of great things. She had a big crock . Like huge with a nice glaze and design that was used to hold pickles and things. Perhaps in country stores.
Good job removing the trash with a tractor.. Glad that you will have a green house gardening in your farm will level up.. Kids are growing fast..
The greenhouse is going to be a game changer. I'm so happy for you.
What an improvement that made. I just asked my son clean out a shed for me and we filled a pick up truck twice and got it to the dump. What a relief...so I know you were glad to get this pile moved. Y'all have a Blessed day. BTW your ground beef looked so good Meg. No gray brown stuff in that bowl full.
I am so proud of yall. You have done an amazing job with your place and your kids. Please continue to teach them how to survive 🙏. Love 💘 and Hugs
Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and green beens. My favorite meal. The greenhouse project looks to be exciting!
Trash pile gone! Can't wait to see your greenhouse.
Wonderful progress on all parts; thanks for sharing! Many blessings to your family 🤗❤️🇨🇦
Meatloaf, mashed potatoes with butter, salt and pepper, and peas - our family favorite. Yum!
It's coming along you guys! Great job! One step at the time!🤗💗🤗
Another great vlog. You have made so many changes to the property in your short time there. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💕💕🌻🌻
I know it feels good to get that trash up and out of there. Yes, get the forks-we use ours all of the time.
Ben, I bet you felt like a million bucks riding the tractor to get rid of that pile of trash! Hard work and perseverance really does pay off!!!! I can’t wait to see the greenhouse go up and see y’all start using it….another great addition to the Homestead🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗!
All your hard work is really showing. Can't wait to watch you put up the greenhouse.
Congratulations on more subscribers to your channel, actually my Favorite channel! In a world where we need a refuge of peace and family life , you are always the GO TO CHANNEL for me .. please know I appreciate all the hard work you do in getting the videos up. I watch every single one . ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Those people that lived there before you were P*I*G*S. You all have come so far. I just love your videos. Such a beautiful family.
Inch by inch you’re getting it all done kudos to you😊👵🏻beautiful family 🥰
I think as of today I have watched all your videos. I started when you were in California. I am very impressed by y’all and watching the boys grow the education they got on the road is priceless 👍👍👍👍
love it! high tunnel woot! Meg do you ever share your recipes? I have been intrigued lately watching you put meals together so quickly....I do the same but I run out of ideas like for meatloaf!
The only thing my husband asked me about was mac and cheese. Like made from a box. He asked me if I knew how to make it, I said yes, and he asked...can you forget!! LOL!! I don't make it, unless I am adding it to something else, like cowboy goulash. Forty years and it's still a party!! I love to make meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Mostly in the winter. Go figure. Love to see how your homestead is shaping up, you have all worked so hard and done so much!! God bless all of you!!
Meg, when I was in the Philippines they cooked a chicken soup that had miringi leaves in it. It cured a cold so fast.
Chicken, miringi, onions, green papaya salt and pepper. It’s delicious
I love that tractor. What a help it is.
Hi guys when I’m gum and feeling down on a Monday I tune in and view your progress and my morning blues disappear like after 5mins in so please don’t worry about your content it’s just like you guys are the best reason for living off grid making your own mark in life and leaving a wave of happiness in your wake appreciating you all : NZ 🇳🇿
I Love your baby girl 👶 she so adorable she learning how talk so good 👍 ☺️ 💕 .love to see your Videos.
You're going to love & appreciate your green house, 💕 & 🙏
Love how the place changes almost daily. Congratulations on the greenhouse, and it will be so good to see all the produce you get from there.
Great job guys a greenhouse will be so fun to watch you put together
Meatloaf and mash potatoes!! Yummy. Meg can you share the recipe for the meatloaf?. (I know there are lots of recipes on the internet and cook books, I would love to try yours) I can understand if you say, it is a recipe that stays in the family (some people do not want to share, as it was great grandmothers or grannies recipe) I have had people tell me this on occasions, so I can understand. I am so glad Ben you have that tractor now to help with all your big heavy chores on the homestead. Greetings from the UK.
Just finished up the last set of old videos I had not seen yet. From framing walls in the mobile home to buggies 1st BDay. This was a great video to get back on current videos with. You were discussing/planning the greenhouse back on those videos. So happy to finally see some progress on that plan.
I just really enjoy watching how your entire family work so well together! WTG!
I noticed a bounce in your step, Ben. Suspect that you are looking forward to getting the high tunnel up and running as soon as you are able. It's always a joyous occasion when plans come to fruition.
Your cookbook is writing itself here! Guessing those two recipes might be written down by now. lol Complete with cute story! Matter of fact, I do not have a meatloaf recipe at all.
My mom's was kinda meh (she avoided fat back then so that probably didn't help, and now avoids bread crumbs), and I wasn't ever a fan of ketchup. I bet yours would be rather helpful, because if I was going to try making one, it would probably end up as meatballs. Then buried in a sauce. Which I think is what happened the last two times I set out with the idea of making meatloaf. ;)
I'm always so delighted to see Millie!
I don't know how much you paid for that red tractor, but it's worth every penny.
I'm so excited to see you got the greenhouse ! Can't wait for the big build !!!
You all are doing so great. Blessings
We got a greenhouse last year and I love it, I tell my kids I'm going to my happy place and they know exactly where to find me, loved having a nice warm place to work when it was snowing outside!
The nice thing if you get the greenhouse up before the winter, is you will have a quiet place out of the weather. Sometimes you just need a bit of space. Especially in bad weather. I can see your older boys, old enough to appreciate it also. Oh, I just split some wood, but I want to stay outside a little longer. ....
Megan! Tell us your secret, do! How you keep your hands un-chaffed and raw with all the hand washing of dishes you do without gloves!
Do you smother them in petroleum jelly at night and wear cotton gloves? ❤️
My favorite meal was meatloaf and baked potatoes. That was as a kid with 9 in the family. No one liked peeling potatoes. Now it's mashed potatoes!
Sweet captures in the intro 🐦.
Yaya congratulations 🎈.
Lord knows that pile won't be missed by anyone in your Family Yuck 😝 . 👊.
JO JO IN VT 😆💕
I have a good recipe for meat loaf to try Meg. Hamburger. 2 eggs instant oats salt pepper onion and green pepper. The sauce. 1 cup of ketchup a little less mustard. One cup brown sugar. Poor a little of the mixture in the meat pat out to a loaf then place the rest of the mixture on top. 350. For 1 he or more. Enjoy!
I have started to save all the videos that have Megs recipes. It will do until we all convince Meg to do her cookbook 😁
I am so glad that trash was just sitting on the surface. That was a hooray moment I am sure. Keep The Bug out of that trash. lol
I love to watch Hollar vlogs, TYFS.
Just an Idea to float by you. If you put the Green house in another location, you can still grow Tomato's and such on your current suspension system. You will double your space for growing, I do not know if you are market farming but this could help you jump into it. I like to watch this guy FarmerDre on youtube as well. That is what he does, grows in Greenhouse's to get a jump on the season. Outside he runs a you pick strawberry farm, as well as Blackberry.
Thanks for sharing the video! That spot is looking good! Okra looking really good!
❤ to the kitty!
I got a vacuum sealer. It arrives tomorrow. Can't wait to use it. It even vacuums jars. I am just learning so we will see how it goes.
I have not committed since you journey to Carolinas but I would like to give a suggestion about your greenhouse build. I'm in Pennsylvania so we get a bit of snow, it made it hard to open the door on the greenhouse until we used 2x12x16 boards around the bottom frame to raise it up so snow didn't block the door on the out side. This also made it nice on the inside. We added re-bar pipe in double rows along the sides and back. Then put slab wood in-between the re-bar to make removable rised beds for the winter. In spring we pull up the re-bar, remove the slabs, hook the greenhouse to the riding lawnmower and move the greenhouse. That way during the winter it's closer to the house and will get more sun in the cold months and in the spring closer to the garden.
A movable greenhouse. Is this along the lines of the Elliot Coleman moveable greenhouse? Cool idea.👍
Not sure will have to look it up. We move it to get more sun in the winter and make it easier for me to get to. The soil gets moved and refreshed each move also. If we ever go solar the panels would also need to rotate seasonally.
So excited about your greenhouse! ♥️
