Our Story:
We are four years into a seven year effort of transforming 20 acres of "Piney
Grove" in Northwest Florida into our dream homestead/mini farm to be filled
with animals and joy. We plan to have a variety of miniature critters on our
pastures, raise free-range chickens, grow fish in our pond, garden
organically, plant fruit and nut trees, and harvest wild game. Our goal is
to escape the stresses of corporate life and embrace all that country living
has to offer as we enter the next chapter of our lives. Follow along on our
journey!

We've now got over 50 videos published since this one that help tell our farm/homestead story. We're capturing our progress and posting as soon as we can edit. You might find these build videos interesting: Shop: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_Oago5isnT0.html Pole Barn: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3ZBHDY4cBKk.html

Deb trying to spin in time and popping up back and forth had me in stitches. 😂 Loving the advice, this is something I've always dreamed of doing! 🤞😊

LOL I do own my lack of coordination. Thanks for watching and appreciating my oddities. Obviously we're not scripted so there will be many, MANY more of those moments. :) Stay tuned!!

I'm so glad I found your channel. I'm in N.Central Florida and have been looking for homesteading advice from the state. Keep up the great work. P.S. I love that you put the episodes on each video.

@PineyGroveHomestead 2 года назад

We're glad you found us too! The first 15 or so videos are a look back at our progress and then after that it's more "real time" as we started recording what we were doing at the time. Thanks for watching. Brad&Deb

@p.bateman7033 10 месяцев назад

Valuable information. I’m past the tree removal stage to carve a space on 6 acres, but only 3 of it developable for building a homestead as the rest is wetlands with a river access. A phase 2 dock project. We have deer and other wildlife which is why we got away from traffic/noise including neighbors. I’ve learned some good ideas from you on equipment and seeding which I want to do myself now. You have a new subscriber. Thank you

@robertgonzales5515 2 года назад

Good video. Yes Sir , communication is very important when dealing with contractors. When I hire a contactor , I have a written and signed document in detail of all the work they hired to do. that avoids all the " I didn't agreed to that. Yes you did". Regardless if its land clearing or replacing a light bulb. It sad that a verbal agreement and a hand shake is a thing in the past.

@PineyGroveHomestead 2 года назад

Good ol' boys with bulldozers and excavators don't like to put much in writing if you know what I mean!!

lime brakes down the clay and releases nutrients.. clay is good but to much is not so good. will be boggy when wet and concrete when dry . planting mulch crops is a good idea.

@BeaglerBassFishingOutdoors Год назад

Some rough prices on land and clearing would be nice..thats prob the biggest thing people want to get an idea of..

@PineyGroveHomestead Год назад

Pricing is very regional....and time sensitive. What we paid when we made that video is way different than land prices now. But we appreciate the feedback.

@DJUncleMikey 2 года назад

What about the trees you cleared, was there any value in those to sell to lumber yards?

@PineyGroveHomestead 2 года назад

Unfortunately no, they were 5-10 year old pines...not even big enough to take to a paper mill for pulp. Plus, if you don't have large acreage, you can't get a logger to log your property....not worth his time to move equipment. Thanks for watching. Brad&Deb

@lonniep44 Год назад

my siser in iowa, our family property , has strangers dumping on it, city blaming her. Her husband disabled. We know nothing of clearing a path, to get a pick up back there to get the junk off the land? What is a price? my goodness your people did a great job. Right now we need a path for a pick up?Great Video- thank you

Dumping is just a low-life thing to do. Someone with a tractor, grapple and dump trailer should be able to help you out.

How much did it cost you to clear that section of area? I have 18 acres and I would like to clear it.

@PineyGroveHomestead Год назад

At today's prices, I would budget $2500 an acre. The cheapest way is to rent a bulldozer or excavator and do it yourself!

@javiertorres7460 2 года назад

What part of Florida is that in and what company do you recommend for Lot clearing

@PineyGroveHomestead 2 года назад

It's Northwest Florida in the Panhandle between Tallahassee and Pensacola. Most land clearing companies don't like to trailer their equipment more than an hour so keep that in mind when looking. We used Marty Taylor and Fred O'Neal (two different companies), but there are lots of other companies out there. Facebook Marketplace is a good place to find someone near you. Good luck with your land clearing as it can be an intimidating process! Brad&Deb

We don't like to talk price because it's so regional and dependent on things like the current price of diesel fuel. Our estimates were from 2-3K per acre...probably closer to 5K now.

What do they charge for a project like this? We may be looking at something similar.

@PineyGroveHomestead Год назад

Diesel fuel is double now, but at the time, it was anywhere from $1500-$3500 an acre to clear land. Depends on the size of trees, can you burn them, haul them off, bury them, etc....
