You and your husband should be so proud of yourselves for providing your children with such a rich and honest upbringing….teaching them some of the most important lessons in life, sustainable healthy food production, an understanding of the seasons, and preservation of food. What a glorious world it would be if every parent could provide these lessons the their children. Your videos are a true joy to watch, blessings from a fellow farmer from Downunder Australia 🇦🇺

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. And I am so impressed how hard your children worked outside with the vegetables & then inside in the kitchen. You have reared your children very well.

LOVE seeing you use cooking with the kids to practice math. Also, your little girl going a bit over 105 and saying “it’s fine”, gotta love that attitude.

@dianag.thomasmba5416 2 года назад

It's so nice and refreshing to see young couples and their children working together around the home and mom teaching them how to cook and use the appliances and dad teaching his sons how to use tools. This is how my parents did with our family, and they have gone home to be with the Lord and I am using the training and skills my parents taught me as I continue on my homestead journey. Thanks for sharing your family with us.

Now I've seen people use that oh what does that mean machine you have now The monkey hydrator but the other one you got the bigger one and they've done their eggs and their cream with that.

Love your beautiful homestead .... may I ask what kind of wood chips you use in the garden 🙏

@TheSeasonalHomestead 2 года назад

Thank you. Wood chips are a variety, but all are from local trees. Cedars, oak, elm, hickory, maples, cherry make up 90% of what we use for mulch. We have a few tree service companies on speed dial so that we "hopefully" never run out of mulch.

@ctcollinthib 2 года назад

Great way to roll with the punches! Ive seen folks use old trampoline frames for their movable chicken pens. And throwing boards on the ground where your pen will be the day before encourages bugs to hide out under it...which the chickens can eat when you move them.

@TheSeasonalHomestead 2 года назад

Thanks! The dehydrator was excellent for making sure it was very dry. Some of them dried in clumps but it was more space efficient to store. I haven’t tried cooking with it yet after the dehydrator method, seems like it should be fine but I’ll find out for sure soon enough😅

Did dehydrating your pasta work at keeping it good longer? How did you store it after you dehydrated it?

@mirandaf2112 2 года назад

What a neat pasta machine you have! My Mom makes a lot of pasta and she uses a clothes drying rack to dry it on. One of those wooden ones that folds up when you are finished. Her pasta lasts a long long time, and does not go bad. I've never eaten spinach pasta before, but it looks so neat!

I am fascinated by making the pasta at home and putting spinach in it. It seems like it would be a much more healthful version than what we would typically buy at the store.

I made gnocchi last fall from some pumpkin that I grew and froze it. I was so happy to have it this past winter. The weather was brutal and this spring has been cold as well here in Ontario.

Curious why you have two different styles of chicken tractors. Was it just to try out what you like? Or are they for certain reasons?

@TheSeasonalHomestead 2 года назад

The "old styles" are our earlier attempts at chicken tractors. When we get another "A frame" one built, we retire the old ones and convert them to the new one. Just takes a few weeks every time to churn out another chicken house.

Do you think your recipe for spinach noodles would work with a gluten free alternative flour? I really love your channel! I have so many food sensitivities myself that I've been learning gardening and what you do has inspired me to keep trying and learning more with a goal of someday having my own acreage. :)

@TheSeasonalHomestead 2 года назад

I'm sure it would. One difference is the pasta may not hold together quite as well. Perhaps there is a binder that you could use that will act like gluten, holding the pasta together.

Hello, can I ask you a question. We just moved to Benton County AR, trying to make a garden, but original soil is very rookie. Please advise how do you start garden bed? You said you are not tilling righ? Same time you are using a plow, do you use the plow to make even rows? Please tell what you put as a first layer, compost? Do you bring any soil to mix? Thank you.

@sweetfernhome 2 года назад

Love seeing a video from you! It really helps to see what you are doing as someone who is still learning timing. Curious what you plant on the panels after the peas are done? I am trying to plan for that now, thinking cucumbers and beans, just not sure on the timing.

@TheSeasonalHomestead 2 года назад

I planted cowpeas and cucumbers last year after peas. Cow peas and peas are both legumes and normally I wouldn’t do one right after another in the same spot. But the trellis was there and it was easier not to move it. We still had a fantastic harvest. I moved the trellis to a new location this year, but will do the same thing again.
