Love your videos! Real people showing real life.

I am just an old man from Mississippi but your channel and videos take me back home to my youth and a simpler time.

Awww. Y’all are so sweet. It’s nice to hear that you don’t mind a viewer saying hey. ❤

From Southeastern Virginia. I enjoy your video's sooo much!! May God continue to bless you all!

Meg, I am 60 yrs old and has washed my cast iron skillets just like you for over 40 yrs and it never hurt them. The key is re-greasing them afterwards just like you did.

I’m convinced that the world would be a better place if more folks lived this kind of lifestyle. Love your videos, thanks so much for sharing!

Y’all are a joy, raising your youngins right and living a good life. I always enjoy your videos.

We Are SO Blessed to see a Beautiful family being responsible and gettin the job Done and TRUTH BE told I Like Maggie's day plan to play in the sandbox but Look who was helping in the orchard with a shovel lol so cute, and adorable children... OMG That wood is so pretty. I enjoyed this video of real life cookin, workin, and cleaning. Thank you and I sure would love to eat that cookin. Maybe someday we'll see y'all at a homesteaders America conference.... Bless Day!

You guys are blessed, I'm just a country old man watching yall living country life. God bless.

Y'all are so very blessed. Such a beautiful place and all that land. You are teaching your children well as to live off the land God has given you. Love your videos.

I'm not surprised someone recognized y'all Andy. Y'all have one of the very best farming channels on RU-vid. I wish I had a dollar for every stick of tobacco that went through that pack house basement. I pruned my cherry trees the other day and used some of your pruning tips. Y'all have a great weekend!

I only recently discovered yoyr channel and just love watching all you do. You are such a sweet, wholesome, genuine family and that's a bit hard to stumble on these days! Thanks for sharing little snippets of your family with us!

Exactly how I do my cast iron.

That's awesome. The kids are helping out with the trees.

Y'all are so special. Thank you for the great videos.

Love seeing your family work hard and play hard.

They make them now where you can scrub them with hot soap and water. YOURE ALL GOOD, dont worry about it, you do a perfect job taking care of your castiron.

Man, a full day right there. Be careful with them beams Andy, as i know you will... Little man getting a lesson on redoing projects and thinking things thru and planning. Blessings to yall. dinner looks good and thanks for the cast iron update Megan!!

No hands could ever paint this picture but God a sun rise is beautiful Sun down is too I love the kids daddy takes time to Listen sweet love prayers great parents

Beautiful people 😊😊😊😊😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤

Awesome video thank you

Have a great weekend 💜✌🏽

Watching from Central Georgia!

Thank you for sharing your day!

It's great to see parents teach young children how to learn new things , stay safe , enjoy & have fun .

That is how I clean mine. I am 76 and still using my Grandmas cast iton

I love your video's. Your children are so carefree and happy. Have a wonderful weekend Ya'll. 😊

I've got to say, you 4 seem to be the most contented and happy people. I know hard times come and go, but the love for each other you have shows in everything you do. This video was so enjoyable to watch.

You guys are great people. I am so happy your channel is doing well.

Another great video, thank you for all you do.

Love your videos and I love how you let your kids be kids. Maggie reminds me of my baby girl (she's 42 now) she used to love digging up worms and she would also come in the house with a pocket full of green lizards 😂. I clean my cast iron like you do. I'm 70 years old and it's always worked for me!! Keep them videos coming. I look forward to every one you make. I usually watch them 2 or 3 times because I always miss something the first time. I would love to see you guys in person but, right now I just love watching you on utube. Honestly, I feel like part of the family because y'all are so real and you make me feel like I'm there with you. I catch myself talking to y'all 😂❤

Blessings dear people

Love y'all's videos, it's a lot of work but it's worth it, your children seem to really enjoy working with y'all too.

Thats the same way I clean my cast iron too! Right there with you!!

I think you did the best you could have done with the pipe in the wet ground and as I have found out that it's always better to have a larger pipe in the ground than a smaller one it's easier to clean out a larger one and keep it clear you won't ever regret it

Y’all Good !’ I’ve been Country all my life Proud Of It !

Love your videos. Wish I was close enough to see you in person..

Hey y’all we’re in west central Arkansas and live on 17 acres. We enjoy your family and all your projects and cooking and watching your family adventures with them awesome kids!! God bless y’all and have a great weekend 🇺🇸

Morning Jim Tom !!! I love you all be careful u watch both you slow down

Sure looks like some good ol southern food. Yummy for the tummy.

Jacob is a hard worker.

Love it me my wife have been watching at least 4 videos a nite catching up

I love you guys so much! Beautiful family!!

Thanks for sharing. Love your videos.

I live in the Philadelphia suburbs and we have beautiful weather as well. I can hardly believe it’s February! Enjoy your weekend! 😊

Megan, I have cast iron I use daily that is three+ times older than you and I wash mine the same way with the exception of my three sizes of cornbread pans. Removing the old loose grease and food debris and giving the throughly dry pan a fresh coating is the life of your cast iron. I throughly enjoy your honest daily life videos👍

Beautiful day... such beautiful countryside.. my day is just started and the sun is climbing up the trees.. Beautiful time of the day

always fun to watch , have a great dinner

Nothing like having a PRODUCTIVE DAY..hard work always pays off feel good by the end of the Day ..Labor of love for your family… I’m on a smaller scale but this week I have done a lot we’ve had small little things that had to get done that were just those you know annoying little things but finally we’ve done them and started turning over the dirt on some of the planters. I started a few seeds which I’ll bring in. Someone has mentioned that we’re going to get one more freeze here in Texas , I don’t know at the end of the month or something so I’m not gonna put nothing in the ground but I have started seeds and I can bring that trays in inside For us here it’s Friday. I’m actually glad we’re gonna have a couple of days of rain, so I’m pretty sure that we’re not gonna be heading no worries we’ll stay close to home I don’t like to get out in the rain in the streets of here of Houston gets kind of crazy plus the Super Bowl weekend you know it’s kinda some people have a too much of a time of celebration so for us we’ll stay in. I still have plenty of things to do in , but this week has been overall a good week I like that you have a great community help to help y’all there.. Oh yesterday this young man friend of mine brought me three plants that he just started rooting two bamboo. They go inside one bamboo for outdoors and aloe vera and he brought me some fresh farm eggs from his little area on their silky eggs and I’ve already had two and they’re great. I don’t have chickens, but my kids want me to get chickens they’re probably gonna get me a coop built , I just have a lot going on but I mean I guess I can start small 🐓

You remember the Frog House you built when you were little and the trailer that is under my back porch

Meagan, I do the same thing. Then put it back in a warm oven or put it on the stove and heat for a second before I oil it. Your not alone😄 I’m so glad to see people being real. God bless!

Awesome as aways, days are busy and never enought time in that day as you get older, enjoy your time as it goes by so fast.

I watched the show that tells you you're only supposed to rinse your cast iron pans in hot water and just use a scrub pad and that wipe them up with a rag afterwards no soap soap takes you seasoning off of your pans that's just what's been working pretty good for me lately before I used to put them in the dish wash them in them soapy water and dried them and put them back in the cupboard and they were always rusty when you go to use them not a lot of rust but a little bit of rust but since I've been just rinsing them in hot water and using a scrub pad and then wipe them out with a rag a lot of times I'll just throw them back on the hot burner let them cook the water off

Outstanding job guys 👍!q!😇!😇!😇!😇!

Y’all really got it going on! Good Job! We’ve been binge watching all weekend! 👏🏻

And I always used to season my cast iron pans with oil till about three years ago when I found out that you don't season with oil you season them with lard but yeah larder bacon fat you're right on that one for sure and that fry and pan looks nice

I love that video❤

Let me tell you a story I’m a little older now, but when I was in my 30s, I was real strong as a community activist I mean I would fight for so many things for this community. I’ve been to the Capital I’ve been to City Hall several times I’ve been to our commissioners office. I was really really hard on doing so much for the better of our committee. I’m still looking at the activist I don’t do as much as I used to but I’ll hit a meeting Every now and then and people are like wow you’re actually here because you know life just happens and things change you know and I’m so busy with my family that I just can’t get out but if I see something that is not right believe me, I’m gonna give it one tough fight to get that corrected because everybody deserve better so when I see that you saw some people and it makes you feel good it does cause I don’t really get out as much as I used to as far as the community but when I do and people see me, they get excited and it doesn’t make you feel good. My son said he was just telling me my daughter-in-law how I was going strong back in the day, with her being an activist for my community and I said yeah and it’s just not as easy now that I’ve gotten older and I have a lot more responsibility. I think I mentioned it my husband is sick and my father-in-law has dementia so I’m the caregiver…✝️💜💜✌🏽

Megan Mike castor looks just like yours. It beats real good it’s very seasoned I very lightly clean it. I don’t really scrub it hard put it back on the fire put a little oil if it needs it and I use mine quite a lot to me. It makes the best potatoes, I got a small one. That makes really great eggs slide off like nonstick, but I use mine yesterday. It makes a really good steak too pork chops and steaks.

Wish I wasn't all the way in Charleston, SC. I'd come visit y'all. It's been years since I've done anything like what y'all do on a daily basis. At 73 isn't too much heavy stuff I can do anymore.

“This was fun! ❤❤ “By eye” construction, that’s what I call it! 😂 Please share the recipe for the pecan dessert! I just got gifted a whole bag full of pecans 🙌🙌 Any tips on storing Pecans, would be greatly welcomed ❤ Ty

Your kids are adorable and learning how to survive!😇?I!😇!😇!😇!

I do all the same as you on my cast iron some are 75 years old only thing differnt is I dry it on the stove then grease it I do use soap yes Mam does not harm them thatI can see .

I use dawn on my castiron too if needed otherwise I use salt and water to scrub them. Your castiron looks amazing. Makes the best cornbread

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE FAMILY LAND!!!! So BEAUTIFUL and SERENE for the kids to play, run and be FREE!!!

Hi True Grit. I’ve only been following you for several weeks but I’m really enjoying watching you tend to your gardens and farm. A really nice family. I grew up with my brothers when I was your kids age in the country. We always had some hammer, sawing or screwdiving project on Saturdays to hopefully keep us out of mischief. From CA🏖️take care.

❤if I worked like you all do, I would be skin and bones….well, maybe not, I would be muscular. 😂 Your smiling faces bring sunshine to my life. Take care! 🙏🏻❤️

Yaw are awesome love watching yaw

❤❤❤ Sure wish I lived closer soo I could meet you in person. ❤❤❤ Y'all have such a beautiful family life and I absolutely love watching your channel. You sure do inspire me to get my to-do list going.❤

I only have three pieces of cast-iron. I have a lot of stainless steel and a few copper but I do use the cast-iron more than all of them. I think I need to get me some wood and I’m going to make me a little. I don’t know I don’t know where I can hang them on the wall with the wood won’t scratch up the wall but I’ll be doing that soon, I don’t know if I get a hold of Cedar or not. We’ll figure it out but I wanna hang my three pieces of cast-iron because they stay on my stove and I constantly move around but if I had a little wall hanger it would be better for me to just put them on the wall.

Hello Meagan and Andy. We are watching your video early today cuz it is raining cats and dogs here. We enjoy ya'lls videos very much , keep up the great work.

Andy, just thought I’d let y’all know I’m enjoying your channel from San Antonio, Texas (city life)

Maggie's gonna play in the sandbox with pockets full of eggs 😊

I clean mine the same way.

Love ❤your videos ❤❤❤❤

team TG~! only 4,995 things left~!

I used the pruning tips you showed the and now I have to get out prune my musckdines

You wash your cast iron Exactly the same way I do

man I could really use some of that kid energy

Okay y’all I missed Magen saying “hey y’all it’s Magen “ at the beginning of this video.

I wash my cast iron with soap all the time

I had to put one of them covert pipes in last year, but I don't think I got it deep enough. I guess I need to dig the east side out a little bit more with the hoe. The water runs over the edge of the driveway and across the top of the tile and washes the soil away I have a load of 2/3 Rock coming soon. Well I hope you all had a good week. Enjoy your weekend the rain is coming. Good thing you got them trees moved . Enjoy God bless

You might can take your Hay Rake and roll those leaves back to the edge of the hay field.

Great channel..just found you…just a yankee here

Hey y’all! As a new subscriber, I’ve watched several past videos. Do y’all have a smokehouse? If not, I thought it’d be interesting to watch an episode where Andy mills the lumber and constructs one, then to see the old time way of smoking your home grown meat.

♥

You actually spoke with my brother in law Mark Fields.

Love watching yall. Figured out you have a website, do you still sell your beef?

Are you guys too far south to have sugar maples for making maple syrup? I can just picture you doing that in the spring. One thing they don't really do here in Ohio, but I know they do south of here is make sorghum. Have you guys ever done that? I've seen some pretty neat RU-vid videos on the process. I'd love to find a community that has some kind of a "sorghum days festival" that the Mrs. and I could visit.

Megan where did you get your sweat shirt

Love this music! Name of song?

Hey Lawson Folks ! I wanted to ask a question that is a little off the topic of this video. My family has always planted by the signs. I try to do it when I can but sometimes I just have to go on and plant even if the signs aren't right. Do y'all or do your families plant by the signs?
