  • The big homestead project for the winter (building our second greenhouse) continues. Today, Kevin and Sarah install the base boards, hip boards, and the end wall kits. This hoop house kit has been so easy to put together. We can't wait to start growing in our new high tunnel.

    ***** About Living Traditions Homestead *****
    Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
    We put out 3 new videos every week! Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we transition from city dwellers to full time homesteaders!

    For those who are handy, you can build one of these yourself for half the cost. The material used is residential chain-link fencing posts and rails. All you need to make is a jig to bend the purlins. If you want a larger or stronger structure, use commercial material which is thicker. Cheers!

    You two are something else that's for sure. You are running a farm, greenhouses, animals, planting, canning, freezer-drying, and I have seen the kitchen, clean as a whistle! The two of you together can tackle any project. Thank you for taking the ADDITIONAL time and effort to share your knowledge and experiences with us. My project is no where near all that you two have going on. Just bought me a simple OutSunny Greenhouse, 10' W x 20' L x 7' H. Maybe one day I can graduate to getting more done. God Bless

    I know this is a few years old, but thank you for showing the whole build. I can see that myself and a few friends could get this up in a couple weekends! I have bought land in southern Missouri, Oregon county, and knowing that it can be too hot or too cold or too wet or too dry, a greenhouse is really a necessity, where the growing conditions can be better controlled. Plus a couple of your newer videos talking about how a greenhouse will replace HALF of your current garden, I am KNOWING this is what I need to do! Thanks again.

He is also my best friend and we love working together. Lots of luck this new year🙏

I know you are both so excited to get in there and start up your seeds!!! If I lived within 75 miles of your farmers market I would be buying from you guys!!!! Can't hardly wait for the next installment of installation on the green house, have a awesome day! ☺

    I just wanted to thank you for all the entertaining and informative videos you've been sharing with us. I can't get enough of them and I really can't quite figure out why. I live in a little apartment in Northern Virginia. In addition to having no yard or any personal outside space, my apartment faces East so I don't even get enough sun for some decent house plants. Despite all this, I am totally absorbed by your wonderful style of living and can't wait for the next video to come on. My only complaint is that they seem SO SHORT. I didn't want this one to end. After all, you never know when you're going to be called upon to build a greenhouse, or a duck house, or .... (fill in the blank!) I guess it comes from my very early childhood in Ohio. My dad always worked in an office but our first house had a tiny back yard that backed up to a cow pasture. The dairy farmer there (a man actually named McDonald!) was constantly yelling at my little sister and I because we figure out how to stomp down the wire fence between our properties so we could wander into the pasture and pet the cows. It was not uncommon to wake up in the morning and find cows grazing in our back yard! I guess I'm just trying to recapture a tiny bit of my youth. LOL. Anyway, I wanted to thank you and wish you all a very happy new year!

Can’t do much outside as I back onto a green belt with a creek that deer use as a superhighway around our small city of Oak Ridge Tn. I fed them beautiful hostas all last summer, ha ha! Also, today my Lodge 5qt Dutch oven arrived, and my first batch of Kevin’s bread is sitting resting for those three hours. I’ll have hot fresh bread for supper with chicken tortilla soup from Laura at Garden Answer! Have a blessed 2020!

    Happy New Year , Kevin & Sarah ,
    I don't have the money to build a greenhouse such as yours. So I am building one with cattle panels. One problem was how to have more width and still have enough headroom. Ah , a 2" X 12" base will do it , which will provide both more height and width. I have learned here in Ohio that snow load may be a problem so I will place a vertical center support in the middle. Kind of a pain to have to work around it but better than having it collapse. My most costly single piece is the covering. I am taking a cue from you and am putting in a weed block flooring . I used a cardboard floor with the first one which did work for awhile but it is not durable. This time I am doing both ! Cardboard with the weed block over that .
