Copper Kettle Farms is a small farmette or homestead in Gettysburg Pennsylvania. We have a little over an acre and a quarter of land where we're working to be as self-sustaining as possible.
We grow vegetables for ourselves, sell eggs and soon to be herbs, and have pet goats. We raise meat chickens and meat rabbits and are building several educational systems on our land from permaculture to hugelkultur and food forest guilds that will be a side hustle for us through educational programming.
We run a composting business on our land called Mason Dixon Compost using our chickens and focus on making our homestead zero waste (meaning we try to reduce the amount of waste and trash we produce).
The goal with our channel is to show the growth of a small homestead into seeing how sustainable it can be for 3 adults on a little over an acre and a quarter and educate folks on the different styles of gardening and everything you could possibly want to know about composting.
The mason dixon line was made by 2 guys from England before america was a country. Meryland contains d.c. in it physically. Meryland didn't succeed from the union.meryland is the north period !!
The never ending debate, the endless fall back to the MD Line, ad nauseum. Demographics change, cultures change. The MD Line is really not relevant. I am from Baltimore, and people from Connecticut and Massachusetts both have asked me what part of Jersey I'm from. For me, parts of MD are quite southern, but the BW metro is definitely northern in character. I know this settles nothing, but I have never viewed myself as southern. Nothing against the South at all, I live in Pensacola, but for me, my area of MD is much more northern than southern.
I love the video, but just for the record, there are vast differences between regions in the US. Yes, we are one country, but the differences will shock some. My family is from Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana. My sister recently moved to Chicago for a new job. She was shocked to find that there isn’t really any sweet tea readily available there when everywhere else we had ever been (all in the South) had sweet tea everywhere. That image you depicted of “sweet tea” is not sweet tea. Simply putting sugar in your tea isn’t sweet tea. It’s gotta be brewed in there while it’s hot. Manners are, in fact more of a Southern thing, i.e. “yes ma’am, yes sir.” While you may hear those levels of respect in other parts of the country from time to time, it’s not as widespread as it is in the South as we’re taught these things from a very young age. My sister who moved to Chicago has been told many times to stop saying “yes ma’am” because it makes the person feel “old.” Down here we say “yes ma’am” and “yes sir” to anyone, whether they’re older or younger than ourselves. So while there are manners everywhere, there are different types of manners and levels of manners in different regions, especially in the South. You do live in a border state though, so I imagine you see a mix of both.
This is an interesting question since it seems that in every region of the United States (with the exception of new england) there is debate as to which states actually belong to those regions
Basically Maryland is a Southern state believe me people from New Jersey New York they called baltimoreans country motherfukers I think the only thing that blurs the lines is lack of knowledge and the lib tard residence thinking the South is all about slavery and racism today so they don't want to conflate but in reality Baltimore d.c. Maryland Eastern shore Southern Maryland it's all the south don't fake.....
I grew up in Prince George’s County MD & I can tell you that most of the folks in my area sound southern, mostly due to the fact that DC is literally across the street & VA is only 15 minutes away.
I'm 7th generation Tennessee who just moved to Southern Maryland. I'm constantly told this is Southern but it's not what I recognize as the heritage of pleasant gracious hospitality and manners. What is pointed at here as Southern culture seems honestly to be more a matter of store bought cultural signifiers and personality reinforcement, like t-shirts with printed slogans images and whatnot. Its just lionization of 'Southern', image and flags etc... for instance the average tractor supply in Maryland will sell yall a Music City Nashville hat made in Bangladesh with the daggone Tennessee flag BACKWARDS on it. Go see if you doubt me.
The chicken is purring. That is what a chicken sounds like when it purrs. Chickens do not growl. Chickens have different pitches for their voices. Just like humans some are high-pitched. Some are low pitched. The chicken is purring in a low pitch voice. Hopefully that is helpful.
I'm hoping a mix of learning to take care of yourself and be self-sufficient, but also to get out and see what resources are around you and pay more attention to nature
The salt, ketchup, three pickles and the onion would make a perfect tasting stew. But the peanut butter, the peppermint sticks and the overripe banana I’d leave out. I can’t even eat bananas. Way too much sugar
I never understoond how maryland would be classified as southern but not missouri, and missouri as a whole has a STRONGER southern influence than maryland.
@@CopperKettleFarms Maryland and missouri were both slave holding border states apart of the union; St louis was a split state, Just like maryland in that sense, However, Missouri started as a western state with strong southern influences, Maryland, even though before 1865 was a southern state, It always had STRONG northern influence due to the fact that it already had a high percentage of ethnic whites, Catholic haven, and had a LOT of textile mills.
