      Tulare County California removed over 3000 acres of Walnuts. We were only given 12 cents a lb for in shell walnuts. Black walnuts are not very good meat walnuts, they usually only use those for the root and are grafted so it may not be a black walnut?? Happy for your move 😁

    I've been wondering for about a year where your channel was going. You've obviously been in a transition for a while. I think I would enjoy some 'back to the land' style vlogs but your brand is becoming increasingly disconnected from your content. Farm Connect however sounds like a dating app for farmers.

    Welcome to Michigan! So excited for your next journey. We homestead on acreage in mid/northern Michigan and it’s the best way of life. Been doing it for about 10 years now and you won’t regret it. It’s the best way to raise kids too so they can see where their food comes from, get closer to nature, etc. Good luck!

    Black walnut hulls are anti parasitic. Perhaps you could get someone to harvest them for you or sell them to a company that produces the extract.

  • @Iluvchknz
    @Iluvchknz Год назад +5

    Homesteading is rewarding. I own a house in a small city and I grow tons of food. I grow things I use- tomatoes, onions, peppers, garlic, potatoes, carrots, lettuce, greens, green beans and herbs. Food preservation is great. I can , dehydrate and freeze. I enjoy it very much. I inherited my grandpas home with 10 acres. I have added more gardening and chickens. Not sure if I will ever do more animals but one can dream. I live in central/southern Illinois. Good luck in Michigan.

    I am dealing with symptoms similar to what Megha was diagnosed with (IC) and would love to know more about a bladder friendly menu. We also got into permaculture and growing our own food, having chickens, etc. years ago and it's definitely a learning curve. The best advice I have is to grow the things you will eat. Setting up a water capture system with hoses and timers will be your best friend! I will watch you succeed in your new adventures, blessings over your precious family!

    Keep the Walnut tree and harvest every year. As you said, they are good for you. As long as your garden is at least 80 feet away from it you're fine. My step dads garden was probably only about 30 feet away and he always had great production.

    A channel for you to check out on RUclips would be Hollar Homestead. Meg cans most of the food they grow and Ben can teach you a ton about permaculture, food forests, gardening, animal husbandry, and composting. In addition, she makes natural soaps and cosmetics and he makes knives. They have four boys and a little girl. I can guarantee you'll love their channel.
    I've been following you guys since before you moved to Atlanta and you were the go-to channel for me when I was starting keto. I still make your Egg Roll in a Bowl, Breakfast Casserole, keep a container of your 1 minute bread mix in the refrigerator, and use your recipe to make tortillas. It'll be 6 years on keto for me and I have no plans to stop. I've been watching homesteading channels about as long as I've on keto. Good for you that you have bought a farm in Michigan!!

    If its a black walnut tree they are so hard to crack! I mean run over with a car and won't crack, and the shell around it when tiles like black ink! That's probably the poison you talked about. And they are a real pain with a lawn mower! My friend would pay her grandkids a Nickel for each one they picked up to be able to mow the grass. But they have deep roots and won't fall over in storms like other trees and the shade from them are Amazing!! 20 ° drop in temps in summer under them. We had a picnic table under one. Have fun!!

    Congratulations on your new home. I love Michigan and I hope you will, too. My only downfall with the State is that there can be a lot of prejudice. Otherwise, most people are welcoming and good. I lived there for fifteen years, moved to the San Fran Bay area, but plan to go back within the next year or so. I actually miss the winters.
    We ate a lot of deer. One thing I can tell you is that laying bacon across any roast you make helps! It's not the most fatty meat in the world. And also, neck roasts slow cooked are great. I don't know how many people eat those, but I loved them.
    Best wishes to all of you with the move! One more thing is that a hot tub is a great investment for winter months. I had one and there was nothing like it at night in winter when the snow was falling!
