About:
Jason and Lorraine. In 2016 we sold most of our belongings and left the city in southern California to start a small homestead in the mountains of North Carolina. We left the city in search for a more minimal and intentional life. We became passionate about growing our own food and knowing what exactly is in our food after I (Jason) became diagnosed with cancer. Now 8 years in remission we as a family are on a journey to live our passions.
We document our life on RU-vid videos to inspire others to get out of their comfort zone and not be afraid of change. We started our own online general store where we have available the things we make and use in real life. Thank you for following us on this incredible life changing journey!

Your timing could not be better. Today I took an okra plant in a vase for a centerpiece at our Company Picnic. It had a perfect bloom, a baby okra and 4 tiny buds. The greenery was beautiful also. Everyone loved the flower and asked what it was. They were quite surprised it was okra and taken aback in how gorgeous the bloom was. Now, everyone said they are planting some next year. This made me smile.

What an interesting guy! Thanks for going out to his place and sharing this Jason! I have a funny story about okra. My parents LOVED okra and one year they went to a buffet for New Years. My mom was legally blind, but had a tiny bit of vision left at this time. So back to the buffet, my mom thought she saw Okra and asked my dad to pile it on her plate and he happily did and helped himself to a hearty portion too. They sat down to eat and my mom’s first bite was a big fork full of okra. To her surprise it wasn’t okra it was Jalapeños 😳😂 my poor mom hated spicy things and had the biggest shock of her life! She really wasn’t used to anything spicy and actually got blisters from it. She had such a great sense of humor and told that story so many times, mostly to scold my dad because he could see like an eagle but didn’t notice it wasn’t okra. Haha. They’re both passed now, but I can’t even hear the word okra without thinking of this story. My mom and dad were really a hoot. The best people you could meet. 😊

A non-profit for continuing and creating diversity in crops. Way to go, well done! Great looking leaves and plants so you obviously know what you are doing. Farming the right way!

I like my okra breaded and deep fried. Is that a bad thing?

@iartistdotme 5 лет назад

AWESOME video! Can't wait for him to get more info up and going. I'm so interested in growing taro and arrowroot and roselle. So many non-commercial varieties that I never knew existed - SO SAD. Thank you for visiting him and taking us along on the trip.

@chomama1628 5 лет назад

This was my best year for my okra. Wonderful to see someone as excited by okra as I am. Such an underrated vegetable!

@alisonbender8611 5 лет назад

Chris, congratulations on your book. I do not have fond memories of okra, just a slimy mess. The person must not of cooked it correctly because folks love it.

@ashleyhavoc1940 5 лет назад

@TheAbleFarmer 5 лет назад

I am from Ohio and okra is not a popular food here. I grew it this year for the first time. Didn't even know what to do with it. I bought some pickled okra at the store and that was my first time having it. I liked it but it is still so foreign to me. 😂😂

@BroqueCowgirlHomestead 5 лет назад

Love okra, mine last year was 15 ft tall and the base of the stalks were 4 inches across. HUGE

@lazyandineptprdtions 5 лет назад

What variety?

@evalinawarne1337 5 лет назад

That was way to short or is there a second part. It was very interesting. I NEVER KNEW there is ALOT to okra. I will get on his list. Thank you. There is SO MUCH to LEARN. Love the road trips. You HAVE alot of information. Glad you are sharing it. I LOVE YOUR WOOD WORKING. My FATHER was VERY TALENTED with WOOD. GOD BLESS YOU from MICHIGAN

@joenperkins2138 5 лет назад

Love okra. I can and dehydrate it for winter. Must get the book. Thanks for info. Blessings.

@theIAMofME 5 лет назад

I found your channel through all of those that went to the Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Expo. I've been binge watching! I was born and raised in the South. I hate that he (the guy you feature here) ate his first fried okra in a greasy spoon somewhere. I ADORE, LOVE, FANCY, and DREAM OF FRIED OKRA. The only other way I like to eat it is right off the TREE they sometimes grow into. I mean...it tastes so good raw! I hate it pickled and smothered or soaked in vinegar. Anyway, thanks for this video about OKRA! Yay Okra!! I love your channel and what you've done and you're continuing to do. All of you Western NC'rs (even transplants) make me wish I lived there. Sending love for your journey from SW Tennessee. Which is a world away from you. I'm so glad you make videos and I think your family is brave for what you did.

Roselle ..we call it sorrel..it’s in abundance here in Trinidad and Tobago mostly around the Christmas Season.

@JB-pd4ni 5 лет назад

WOW! What a fantastic place! Thanks for sharing.

@Mcfirefly2 5 лет назад

Roselle is an okra relative that makes wonderful tea. That, and lemon grass, are the Zing in Red Zinger tea, with the roselle providing the Red, alone. It is also called Jamaica in Mexico, pronounced "Ham-MY-ka".

@dianehall5345 5 лет назад

Congrats on your book Chris. Could you please send me a recipe from your book that would win over a northerner. I can't get past the inner consistency, but like the flavor. Thanks from New Hampshire!

@steakandeggscynthiar.7714 5 лет назад

We were in the garden yesterday cutting okra. We planted the Cowhorn variety. The pods can grow 4 or 5 inches overnight. I told my husband we should call it a okra weed..Anything that can grow that fast. LOL

@lololollaughatlife1431 5 лет назад

I’ve always avoided okra with a passion, and I always will, besides Lima beans and Brussels sprouts that I’ll never grow, if I see a huge market that could significantly improve my life I would grow them for market but I just don’t see it- so I’ll happily avoid them.

@cagedtigersteve 5 лет назад

I want some okra now

@angelacross2216 5 лет назад

Huh, I’ve been trying to eliminate ground nut from my shade garden for years. Looks like it might be a useful plant for people with a lack of sun.

@deaksbear 5 лет назад

What does it taste like???? Everyone loves to tell me it doesn't grow in my area..Canada.... I get that, which is why I ask. Ps I don't live in an igloo.. 🙄

@danielafurlan322 5 лет назад

I Love okra.....hope to have some before the first frost.....late gardening this year.....

@marymarysmarket3508 5 лет назад

Okra is a beautiful plant. After picking the "fruit" the night before, in the morning the flowers are all sticking their heads up. So lovely to see.

In Australia, the rosella or Roselle, we use the ripe calyces for jam or dried for tea

@hollyslaughter5505 5 лет назад

Great video. I have tried okra several times and did not care for it but with so many varieties I’ll have to try again.

@andrewlittlefield3425 5 лет назад

Okra rocks

@annegrant3519 5 лет назад

up until 2 years ago never heard of okra. My big question is what does okra taste like

@maryjemisonMaryjay1936 5 лет назад

Okra is my favorite ❤️tomatoes onions never had fried until I was older it’s okay that way but love sautés

@loraineleuschke4186 5 лет назад

Very good presentation, thank you.

@dwarftoad 5 лет назад

Thanks Jason and Chris! What's the variety with shortest growing season (going off to check out the website...) How long did you live in NC before trying okra Jason?

@lazyandineptprdtions 5 лет назад

I have a variety from India called Nirmal, which is about 48 days to harvest.

@gardengirl50t30 5 лет назад

The only thing I want to know about Okra is why it's so slimy and gross lol

@WayneWatson1 5 лет назад

I love fried okra in cornmeal. Way mama made it. I am interested in that medicinal turmeric too. Dealing with inflammation constantly, always looking for better natural items. Thanks for the information. Enjoy your videos

@larrym6019 5 лет назад

I don't know if you eat grains but I found that when I cut all the wheat corn and oats out of my diet to stop type 2 diabetes that my knees stopped hurting and brain fog lifted while my diabetes reversed. I believe modern grains which are added to so many foods are inflammatory for many people. It might be different if they were original natural varieties, not genetically altered and grown with herbicide. We need food purity laws, badly.

@WayneWatson1 5 лет назад

@@larrym6019 Yea, I need to cut all that stuff out with my diabetes too but, it stays around 130 most of the time. Still, could be better. Yea, modern grains are so full of GMOs. That's the problem and Yea, would be nice if they cleaned up our food but... That's why more and more people are going the DIY route
