Today we're going to take you around the property and fill you in on what we have planned for this year for the animals and the property.

Holly and the bug=priceless
Haha! 🐞
The farm store I manage. We sell hardware cloth, very small woven metal mesh. This will definitely help control rodents. For chicken pens I'd add like 12 ft tall posts, then put mesh bird netting across the entire coop area. This will keep your birds from flying out, plus keep out hawks and owls.
Great video, love to hear about the up coming plans! You’ve set out a pretty busy first year at this property! Let’s hope the weather behaves itself and cooperates with your schedule! I’ve seen other who have laid a very fine heavy duty mesh under their chicken coops to stop animals being able to burrow in from the outside, they extend the mesh outside of the area of the coop by 6/ 8 inches it stops the erosion of the soil. Likewise they also put mesh down under the full length of the chicken run. Again to discourage animals from trying to dig under the wire. As I don’t keep chickens I can only pass on the info, I haven’t tried or tested it! Looking forward to following your journey at your new homestead. Love your style of presentation.❤
Thanks for the helpful information! Mesh is definitely something I need to look in to! Glad you’re enjoying the content 🙂
Wow at the garlic 😮😮👍👏
I know right! I hope to have that much seed garlic one day haha
You can never have too much garlic! 🧄 😀
@@living.different 💯
You absolutely can’t ever have enough garlic!
You guys are great. Good luck with all your plans and projects for this year, can’t wait to watch them all happen. You need to tell us to subscribe if we are not. 😊
Thanks! We have lots of big plans for this season 😀
I’m amazed of how much you guys can get done together.
It's a lot easier to get things done with a partner!
Loved the outtakes and the bug situation 😂 awesome tour of your homestead!
I wonder how long the bug was there for 🫣
So exciting..always keep in mind, I sure the weather is different on the new homestead compared to the old one.
It’s definitely different down here, very windy all the time🌞 🌬️
Nice tour of the property. Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it! 😀
Lots going on with you guys! Thanks for the content!
Always busy with something! 🧑🌾 👩🌾
Good luck with your homestead I'm sure you guys will be good love you guys ❤
Thank you! 🤗
" a bug?...what bug?"😂.
I wasn’t expecting a bug on my face haha 🐞
@@living.different Sorry...it was a little bit funny. I dont want bugs on my face either.
You two are doing a great job! It is too bad that the new property is also wet,however you can turn that in to a positive with the pond. Rats are very difficult to get rid of they are very smart. I had a horrible issue with them years ago in my horse barn. Right now I have an ermine that has been killing birds. I set a live trap and caught a rat! Lol!
Thanks! Yes the pond will help and be good for the ducks 🦆 Rodents are a real pain!
@@living.different a huge pain for sure! Are you guys going to the Eastern Ontario Homesteading Conference on May 4th?
@@bettinah.7429 not as of right now!
@@living.different too bad.
Will you guys consider putting in an orchard/vineyard? Maybe adding hops plantings?
There are 4 very big and mature apple trees here already but I do have plans to add an area just for fruit trees!
FRESH GRASS lol you guys are doing a killer job and thanks for sharing!
It’s hard to say! Haha 🌱
Hi Holly ,just wanted to let you know I just ordered maple 🍁 syrup from you ,I was waiting for it to become available on your web store. I look forward to receiving my order, I love your guys channel on RUclips,very informative I look forward to more videos, thanks Matt from Michigan
Hi there, just got the notification for your order! It’ll be shipped out tomorrow ! 🍁
Loved the tour and the heart you've poured into your homestead-it's truly inspiring! We're new subscribers and can't wait to see everything unfold. On our homestead, we're embracing a similar path and it’s so motivating to see others with the same passion for this lifestyle. Wishing you all the best on this adventure!
Side note, what if you used hardware cloth around the bottom of the run to keep rats and predators out?
Thank you so much for the lovely words! Hardware cloth is a great idea!
@@living.different YW! The hardware cloth has saved our birds from foxes and fishers (like a wolverine but more angry)
@@TheConlinHomestead we have fishers here! They’re terrible
WOW ! You sure have a LOT going on this summer ! I hope you have time for lots of videos too......M
We have every intention of filming everything this summer! 😀
@@living.different Awesome !! Lookin foward to it.
Geoff and Holly you have accomplished so much. Hope you can get your hives restablished.
We hope so too! 🐝
Thanks for the. Video!
May I suggest a 50/50 mix of baking soda and corn bread mix for the mice and rats......... works like a charm. I recently started using this in my high tunnel and it has solved the problem!
Interesting! Do you just spread it around the area that the rodents are?
@@living.different I put it in a bowl and just sat it out under my potting bench. They devoured it overnight and I haven't seen any sign of them since! I'm not sure it would hurt chickens and ducks though so you may have to put it in some type of container they couldn't access.
@@oklahomesteader good to know! I’ll have to give it a try!
👍
🖐😎👍
Holly, what is your website to check out your products?
Nevermind I see it now lol
@@michaellawson4473 glad you found it!
How about a companion for the cow?
Another cow isn’t in the near future for us! We already have lots going on! 🙂
I have to agree cattle are herd animals and do best with another of their kind,you could get a steer as a friend and then put it in the freezer down the road. But yes you do have a whole lot going on and are rocking’ it. 👍🏼👍🏼
How many acres is your new property?
@@TomandMaryWhittaker-e8q 6 acres!
