Your shows are never monotonous. I just like coming to visit every day that you’re on RUclips. I guess my favorite part is where you sit to supper and everyone holds hands and you by your heads at acknowledge the one who created heaven and earth and all your abundance. Feels like I’m sitting right there at the table with you. Tell the kids their 81-year-old grandma Carol is right there with them. God bless you all!
Bug's so cute when she drops her head to pray! LOL
one more grandma here..
i hope and pray all parents can.teach.their.children this way
Me too! 🙏💖
Another grandma that loves the Hollar Family!
@@rkthing55 that cracks me up, too!
Wow, it's hard to believe Buggie is turning 2!! Doesn't seem so long ago she was born...and she couldn't wait for the midwife to arrive, so dad assisted bringing her into the world!!🥰 How exciting for you all having a baby girl!!💞 And 2 yrs later she's a mini Meg in the kitchen with her little apron on!❤
but wheres Buggies baby sister??!!!
I love watching Buggie... she is so curious... and wants to participate in everything that is going on.... and when she smiles her whole face lights up.... love it!
I could just watch Meg in the kitchen everyday with the awesome dishes she creates and her home economic abilities...seeing Buggy and the handsome boys is an added plus.😊
Would totally purchase her cookbook!!!!!! I Don't watch TV however I never miss my regular scheduled HollarHomestead Programs lol
You are so right.
Ditto!
I love your montage of you all sitting down to eat and pray and now Buggy is closer to the table like a big girl So cute
There needs to be a “ day with buggy day”! She is so precious and smart. Another with the boys! They are growing up so fast! I have been watching since the boys were little in California and of course you and Meg are always doing something new and exciting. Take care, be safe and God bless you and your family in all that you do!
All of your hard work is evident. The homestead looks wonderful. I remember when you first found your acreage and you have accomplished so much. It’s been such a pleasure to watch your beautiful family grow and thrive. God Bless.
Monotonous is Cool. So many youtubers try to be exciting & think up new ideas - I like stopping in & watching whatever it is you guys have to do. Your family is growing up so fast. Cant believe Buggie will be 2.
Our Family has been Watching since Day 1...!! We live in a Very Busy City, n we just Fade Away when we Watch Ur Videos of how Life is on a Whole Nother Level....So THANK U SO VERY MUCH 4 YEARS OF BRINGING US WITH U EVERYDAY, TO B A PART OF UR LIVES....We Love U All Very Much....XoXo
Buggie is so funny and I love how she smiles when you pick her up and let he talk to the Camera.🧡🧡🧡🧡
You are the real deal. No clickbait just showing life as homesteaders. Keep up the great work!
Oh my gawd, Buggy is so cute!!! I love seeing you guys live a life worth living. Your videos inspire me. Your such a good mother Meg, And Ben is such a great father and provider. Yours is one of my favorite channels.
Ben and Meg I love watching your videos and even if it is the same thing that you do everyday I still love watching you guys. Love seeing the baby and the boys do what ever children do everyday, your kids are so sweet. I guess I'd watch your videos if they lasted all day long. I'm 80 years old and it is such good clean entertainment for me. God Bless your lovely family.
You two are the dynamic duo. I think Ben you can fix and make anything and I think Meg you can cook and can anything. Love your life style and the kind of people you are.
I love your “day in the life” videos. They actually are different each time. Like today the sharpening of tools was very interesting. And our silly little buggy is fun to watch grow up.
I bought your chainsaw (among other wish list items) shortly after Bug's birth, with modest amount of lotto money. I grin every time I see you use it! Hope it last many years.
Everyone of the men folk here love it! It is so so handy, and they use it for everything. Thank you again!
More cleaning up of the homestead. Nice! That was great that a viewer sent you the electric little Makita chainsaw! Thanks whoever you are! Nice dinner Meg. Did Buggy get bored with the planting? Cool, high tunnel! That will make year long gardening a reality! Grow little seeds, grow! Thanks for this Hollars!
I was happy to contribute to their homestead and love all the progress over such a short time. Remember the rush to finish the home before Bug's arrival?!
It’s never boring ! I like the real deal ! Can’t believe Buggy is almost two ! Your videos never disappoint!
MEG! The Music you chose for the wood chipping section of this video is Phenomenal! I love your music choices! It's Never monotonous, ESPECIALLY when Meg puts Such great music behind it.
Thank you 😘
Once again, we get to see how the teamwork at the homestead really works!! I hope you can get those new seeds to grow heartily, especially the beets🤗! I love beets, cauliflower and cabbage💜! Little Buggy is so interested in all things🥰🥰!
LOL!! Buggie putting the plant labels in all over the place was hilarious!! Reminds me of one of our grandsons when he was this age. Love it!
Busted out laughing at that moment! So much fun.
Best part of the video for me was the cows. Ben walking to the barn telling us how real life is or something one cows eating the other is lying on the ground under the shade cloth.
❤️🇨🇦
Is there anything that you and your wife can't do??
Do you have a extra special book that helps you and your wife use on a regular basis??
I'm thinking recipes/preserves and taking apart tools/ and putting them back together to get the most use out of everything.
I just love everything in your videos
And I love all your family too.
God Bless you all. ❤️
Seeing Biscuit in the background as you walked by was the sweetest image. Just chilling half under the shade cloth. I was just thinking that it was Miss Lilianna's birthday soon ... same day as my grandson. Looking forward to seeing what treasures you unearth.
You guys are never boring or monotonous....I enjoy watching your daily activities as they occur. I was giggling at Buggie moving your planting labels around and adding more as you went...helping!😊 She is adorable! It is hard to believe that she is nearly 2! Wow! Time has flown! Keep doing what you do...it's great! Btw...I have been meaning to tell you for some time that I am so glad to see all of you sit down and say grace before enjoying your meals together.❤
Not monotonous at all. Buggy is the star of the show and she is so cute! How many 2 year olds would ask for carrot seed and understand that is where the carrots they eat come from. Amazing!
Also this life is a lot of the same daily tasks and for homestead dreamers it is important to show that. It helps keep unrealistic expectations to a minimum.
Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us. I wish I lived closer and could be friends in person.
I lovvvve Buggy's giggle after that thunk, what girl doesn't love a direct hit and solid thunk
Do you know what I love about you guys? It's the kids. Seeing your kids being outside and not worrying about getting dirty. It warms my heart to see kids being outside and loving life.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful progress! Many blessings to your family 🤗❤️🇨🇦
Ben like you have said just keep doing what you are doing. I for one have been truly fascinated by the farming homestead life style for my entire life and although I much older and physically unable to be able to keep up with caring for livestock and such l do enjoy watching the RUclips channels of people that are able, and actually do survive very well living such a lifestyle and unlike some RUclipsrs it's a very high probability that most viewers can actually see those who are trying to create content! It's just more than obvious in my opinion that the content that you are sharing is in no way made up. So thanks for the authenticity and please keep sharing as often as you like because all of your hard work is showing through and providing so much for you! Your family and the homestead community 👍
Two! How fast did that go? She is a gorgeous little thing and as bright as a button. How lucky she is. Can you imagine being born and growing up on a homestead? Most of us come to it later in life and have to learn new ways and skills. She will grow up with it all and not know any different. Lucky girl.
yup..
and i will NEVER forget that day, coz that's the exact day my only daughter(of 5) turned 26..
🌱🌱🌱GROW!!!🌱🌱🌱🙏👊🌄
Anything you record your true fans are going to watch. That little Buggie I tell you she was trying to label the seed too funny. Thanks for sharing 👍🏽
I think your content is REAL. Look forward to seeing all your videos.
I'm a oldie but goodie, and I can't do it all I I used to...I enjoy thinking dang...if I was starting all over that's how I would do it... cause I learned a lot on the way... never ever think you need to apologize for everyday farm chores . keep the videos coming. Can't wait to see the greenhouse evolve.
I think you make better vlogs as you don’t regularly invent a vlog.
You keep it real,that’s why you are one of the better (if not the best) homestead vlogs.
You don’t creat a fear factor,you come up with answers.
Keep it real!!
Hi.... Meg and Ben, thank you for showing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🐈🐄🐖🌱🌺🌹🌻🌼🌸🌷🏡🎥👍👍👍
It is not monotonous at all. I watch all your videos with great pleasure. greetings from Poland and lots of love.
Literally you guys have become part of my normal routine, working in a 911 center you have saved me hours of downtime and taught me so much
Everything you both do is awesome to watch. Do not feel that watching you do the same things everyday is boring. It’s just watching how your kids are growing and how your homestead is maturing, also the cooking and gardening plus the animals. I have been watching since you left California but binged watch all your vlogs since the beginning. Thank you for it all
I laughed at this video so hard it hurt. At the beginning when you were walking past the cows one of them was laying down and it looked like it was peaking under the chide cloth.
I laughed at that while editing! He is such a dork 🤣
Buggy is obviously a very intelligent (gifted????) two-year-old. I am amazed when I see her activities in the kitchen with her mother. Little ones learn so much from siblings and I am sure she has been the apple of her big brothers' eyes and gets lots of attention. Nevertheless, she is a really special little girl. As a teacher of 25 years, I would definitely say: gifted candidate.
Parents of gifted children all say the same thing: "I need a nap!"
Happy to hear that you are going to be able to get a high tunnel. What a great investment for your homestead. Have a Blessed day.
It’s not monotonous; it’s like checking in with friends to see what they’ve been up to xx
Meg, love the music tracks you drop in these videos.
Beets (or beetroot as we call them) transplant really well, it doesn't bother them at all. I use Charles Dowding's multi-sown technique, drop 3-4 seeds per cell, wait till they're about 3 inches tall then plant out. They push each other apart as they grow in the ground so you get 4 beets in one space. I've left them in trays way too long and they still transplant just fine. I don't have the space to direct sow for succession so everything (except carrots) get's sown in trays!
Do you not thin them then?
@@MFV77 only if more than 4 come up. They just push each other apart as they grow. I tend to harvest one at a time from each clump to let the others get a bit bigger, but you can 4 decent sized ones all growing in the same space. I do the same with onions, plant 5 per cell then harvest 2 early on as green onions leaving the other 3 to grow to full size in a clump. Radish works well multi-sown too. I can get much more produce out of my small garden this way and it's quicker to plant say, 10 groups of 4 rather than 40 single plants.
@@nenemaria-cornfieldsgarden great idea! Definitely going to try this too.
They grow SO well multisown. Best harvests I get are when they are all grown with their friends.
@@ninawright5597 i grow mine like this, they've been fantastic this year
I watch because of precious Buggie and her family. Every little girl with big brothers knows how to aim and shoot. Keep showing the monotony. Relatable.
Valerie in SC
🙋🏼♀️🕊 . Chipping for garden gold. . Doing a great job . Nice checking in on your family. Your family is the best, and that little ladybug 🐞 is mummies minnie, , 🌳💕🕊🍀🙋🏼♀️ blessings 🕊🕊🕊🕊
It isn't monotonous, it's the facts of life on a homestead. People watch you for many reasons, and ONE of them is to see what homesteading is like. And your cutting and chipping trees, and Meg's cooking and preserving IS what it's like. People want/need to know the truth, warts and ALL. There isn't any half way with homesteading. When it's monotonous it's monotonous, when it's hectic it's hectic, the same goes for fun, confusing, tiring, overwhelming, boring, exciting, scary, tedious, rewarding, and so on, and so on.
Yes to all of that!👌
Showing consistency is not boring!! Your daily schedule encourages others to keep growing!! All the little things is what keeps it “growing”!!
Most lives are repetition! What’s repeated depends on which chapter in our story we are on. Thank you for sharing. 💕💕🌻🌻
TWO? Already? Time is flying. She is living the very best life because of you folks and how you are introducing her to life. Delightful time spent watching you all.
That chipper is a beast, it's quality. My neighbor had one, I wish I could have bought it from him before he passed.
Your content is absolutely fantastic to watch. I look forward to seeing it every day. There is not many men or women that are as hard working as you two. Love the boys and Buggy too. Keep up the good work and congratulations on the high tunnel. I'm confident you both will fill it with lots of food. Happy Gardening and Happy early birthday Buggy.
If you don't like what you see on this channel folks kindly move on and leave this nice family alone what I see is a lot of honesty and love here and if you can't take that you're better off not even watching I think this family is clearly an abundance of love and appreciation for what they have so you keep rocking it guys and I'll keep watching and recommending you to everyone I know you can watch love bloom everyday on this channel so be done with yourself if you don't like what you see here would you be so kind just to move along to somewhere else😎
Hot here too!!! Just spent the last two weeks binge watching from your Ca home to the roamstead and then the property hunt… whew Im tired but so happy I found y’all
It’s never boring I could watch you every day of the year,great video and thank you for your precious time kindest regards tam 🏴❤️🏴❤️
I saw you on the Rhodes channel when Meg was pregnant with Buggy. I have never missed a video since then. You are a lovely couple working hard and dedicated to raising your children. Take care and God Bless you all. ♥️😊
have you heard anything about Art and Bri the Rhodes friends
Loved Buggy shooting that dart gun and it sticking on the window!! So cute!! Meg, your cheese looked good! Carbona looked good! What a cook!!!
You guys are NOT monotonous!! You are steady and real! LOVES YA!! Lol
I could watch you doing anything. I enjoy your videos.
Please take care and be safe
I don’t get tired of watching you guys! In fact, one of your older videos from 3 years back showed yup on my feed-the one from when you first got the property. I’m on vacation and binge watching them lol! I only found your channel a few months ago. Anxious to see how your experiment with the beets works out. This was my first year growing them and I found out I love to eat them!
Please keep filming your days as they happen. I like that you don't try to create content but just film your life and what you are doing. How Meg edits them keeps them interesting. You are now my go-to channel for watching and I look forward to new videos (I just found you earlier this year and have started to watch some of your previous videos). Your content is honest and true to the life you are leading......and I learn from you, even when you make mistakes, it's helps to remind me that everything isn't perfect and that you take things a day at a time just like the rest of us (and some things get missed or delayed).
Another great day on the homestead! Blessings on the Hollar family! 🥰🌻🐛🌼
I'd like to compliment you on your timelapse music choices lately! They have been on point! 👏👏 Also... Yay seeds!🌱
I absolutely love that Bigger loves to be outside. Her vocabulary is getting bigger and too! Love you all🤗
Everyone does a fantastic job keeping up the homestead and we enjoy coming along and watching everything grow. Blessings!
I think meg deserves a bigger kitchen. I really have been following you for a few years. I think re doing that farmhouse would be awesome or upgrading to a doublewide so she has the appropriate space to process all of what she does and has something that is just hers since she supports your dreams so unconditionally.
I don't watch each episode, but I always like it when I do. Meg- you have a wonderful smile. Your children are getting so big. I know they will be great problem solvers and leaders having the two of you as examples. You have taught the value of hardwork.
Wow did you see Buggy's eyes when she saw the dirt/soil. Loved it & by the way Carbonara has been my favourite meal for over 35yrs. YEAH !!!!!! Cheers Denise- Australia
Now that you have a chipper, you should cover your walkways and borders around your garden with a deep layer of wood chips to keep the weeds out.
Being a female over 50, I love my battery operated saws and weed eater. The ease of starting them is amazing! Love you guys.
Hi Hollars! Want to wish Buggy a very safe and blessed 2nd birthday, and the rest of you also. God Bless!
Some good wood-chipping jams!! 🎶
I can't think about Buggy turning 2!
I am so excited for you guys, getting a high tunnel. I watch many homesteading channels. The one item the other homesteaders all have, which takes them to the next level of gardening, is a high tunnel. Good luck and good for you!
Love watching the day to day and visiting, thanks for including us!
Could watch a 3 hour Timelapse of you guys cleaning, clearing, chipping , moving pigs and planting orchard! Post more videos and longer ones!!!
it would be wonderful if you could at some time in the future do a tutorial on sharpening. I know you sharpened the blades to your chipper the other day after you hàd put through dead wood which had dulled it. you were great about telling which bolts had to be removed but for some of us who are mechanically challenged we have no idea which bolts those are. or offer a sharpening workshop sometime like in the winter. Would love it.
Love watching y’all on the Homestead 💕 Love it that you pray to our Lord at mealtime 🙏🏼❤️
Plants..... seeds........... God''s way. Beautiful family, always productive, always growing, always loving life, like Buggy!!
You guys are so busy every day. Great video showing progress and planning in action. Buggy will be a great helper with all the great role models in her life. 😊💜
I have transplanted red beets many times especially if they were too thick in one place and thin in another but THEY Must be SMALL and very young to not destroy the tap root. Rick in Pa
The real people for sure.
You may be doing the same thing but we get to see the progress of your homestead.
Progress is never the same & never gets old.
It is always new & exciting…Carry on 😊
Oh! Please! You folks are not monotonous! Totally love watching and cheering you on with your homesteading adventure love watching the kids, Buggy, being so into everything. The boys helping as well. And I’m thinking Not wanting to ask, because it’s not polite, but I’m wondering, and thinking, I better just pray for this g r o w I n g Family. Lol
Those tulip poplar trees are a pretty major nectar producer for honey bees as well. So that's another good reason to keep them around.
Biscuit laying under the shelter with his head poked out from under the tarp! Too cute.
It's nice just to see all of your beautiful faces no matter what you're doing around the homestead! Can't believe it's almost two years for Lillyanna's birth! Happy early birthday sweet baby girl 💖
Huh. If buggy is almost 2, that means that I've been watching you guys for a bit over 2 years then. Started watching not long after you bought the property.
I love your videos. It's real life, not selling anything and your not doing things out of reach for what most Americans can do (though your skills are pretty up there and Megs lol). It real family, simple farming. I love how you are creative and build things yourself.
Love beets. I made beet horseradish relish and canned it. Also canned Harvard beets for the first time. Meg I could watch you cook all day. You are truly an amazing person. Bless your sweet family. Everyday I look forward to your videos.❤️
I've transplanted beets often. Mostly when I can't get the fire ants to back off in a bed. Or the bed is still full of something that should have been insect ridden/diseased/half dead, and looks amazing instead. Tends to be a grouping of about three beet sprouts per cell. Which are fine growing together exactly as they came up, so I don't mess with the roots. Rarely get all the seeds per beet 'seed' to live, if direct sowing.
Love it when a standby meal is always met with enthusiasm. Like it's a fresh idea. :) Feels so rewarding. I thought in the last video your daughter might be coming up on two. LOL Fun times, especially with one clever as she is! Personally enjoy seeing the familiarity of the usual daily tasks, interspaced with what's different about today. Like visiting friends or family, in a way. As their work/life flows around and with you in a recognizable rhythm through repeated visits. Relaxing or inspiring to see things that are familiar, productive and relatable.
Our fall gardens are neatly planned, then mapped out, some rainy evening. Started with tags per large group of a variety. So tidy. Then put out in beds well after dusk, night after night, hodge podge everywhere there is an empty space. No idea what went where for ages, because no one can read what the tags said in the dark. Often planted out because the week is forecasted to be cloudy, drizzly or similar, and not so hot.
Here's hoping it goes a bit smoother this time for us. ;) Your fall garden sounds like it will be amazing, especially after the ton of work setting up the high tunnel! Congrats on getting to this point. I'm short and I worry about being able to manage a high tunnel size shade cloth, year after year, if it fell on me to be the only one putting it up. We keep thinking about it, and saving.
We are all doing the same thing everyday also. We appreciate seeing we aren't alone in the glorious monotany !
It's one of the things I miss about bigger channels like Justin. Don't get me wrong, I still love those channels, but I love the "day in the life of us" vlogs. It gives me hope for my future homestead to see the day to day stuff
7 years ago my older than Abraham Black and Decker corded drill caught fire while I was putting lag bolts in a header for the back deck. Went out and got a brand new (at the time) 20V DeWalt combo kit. Thing was cordless and the impact driver sent 1/2" lags into that 2x12 like it was nothing. After that I was hooked. Done. I have battery everything. I got a 40V Ryobi weed whacker with a tiller head attachment. That 40V is even better than the 20V DeWalt one I already had. The Ryobi cuts down inch thick trees. I was blown away. And the string is way easier to change. Coolest thing is the 40V system even has a snow blower for this winter. I'm 42 and spent almost a decade in the military. I've had 3 spine surgeries. I literally cannot shovel snow anymore. So if a kid doesn't come by im screwed because my son is only 4.
Love watching your family and your farm. Everyday! Never bored!
💚 Nice progress on partially clearing that wooded area. Looking forward to seeing pigs in there! Love the family seed-planting, with all that labeling help from Buggie 😁💚
Thanks Hollar family 👏You are great 🤙❤️❤️💙💙💙💙💙
I love the episodes with Ben the Tool Man. Thanks for the tips. I love build projects and learning to handle and maintain power tools is a big part of that. Not skills most girls get taught growing up so you make it fun to learn. I appreciate you guys. Totally love your music selection.
Awesome video.... it was hilarious seeing a cow head sticking out from the milking stand.
I could watch woodchipping day after day! I like to see the pile of woodchip golden goodness grow. Starting all those seeds oh my that's great!
