This was great. Happy to have found it. Melissa is very knowledgeable. My wife and I love her videos. Lots of good things here for folks to think about.
Love that last 10 minutes of this. Wish more utubers where talk to this. Support and encourage us who are struggling to keep going with all the world's craziness.
Homesteading Family has sooooo many great videos for building a foundation, including gardening, canning, and a video where they recommend their favorite books and materials. Watch both of these knowledgeable women, but add HF to your watch list!
Super excited about this podcast! I love waking up and just throwing these on and learning as I get all of my kids ready for their day. My dream is to have our own homestead to pass down to our children and their children and live off of the land we’ve helped bring life through, and eat the meat we’ve raised, etc. my kids and I have certain food allergies that’s super hard to avoid in things from the store, and also hard to avoid things with those “bad for you” ingredients. This is so encouraging for someone who comes from no knowledge of how to homestead and had no foundation in the homesteading world. My mom always had a pot garden but as a single mother with very little income we never owned enough land to truly have a large garden where you till you the soil and put things in the ground with your bare hands. I started a garden last year with my four kids (due with #5 in July❤️) and they truly loved it as much as I did and I can’t wait to expand in my garden, preserving/canning, getting some chickens, goats, and eventually a dairy cow. These podcasts help me believe that it’s possible no matter what stage of life you’re in and no matter what background you have. If you have the heart of a learner and the determination to do it, you can. ❤️
So interesting! I grew up in Issaquah WA moved to Moses Lake WA got married in mid 90's and moved to 65,000 acre cattle ranch in Central Oregon when we got married. Then 2 years ago started "homesteading" Bought a jersey milk cow (husband was soooo not happy lol) Next up chickens and garden. Started canning. I guess a 46 year old empty nest is a good time to start.
I saw this when I woke up this AM, and I'm so excited to hear this podcast. Melissa is so informative being a multi-generational homesteader. I've learned so much from her. I'm glad you got to bump into her.
Very interesting video! If we find acreage in New Hampshire I'm really hoping to plant a garden and maybe have some chickens. Have much to learn. For now I'm able to buy raw milk 20 minutes from me. I'm pretty sure raw milk is legal in New Hampshire too. So a milk cow wouldn't be necessary especially with one child at home. Just the 3 of us. Thanks always looking for informative videos on how to get started in Homesteading.
I have paid $16 a gallon for raw milk here in ca. Currently I’m paying $11 so I’m so happy! We live in our RV so we can’t do homesteading currently, but praying for a home so we can.
So encouraging!!! Thank you. I am on a 40x100 property which my house is on….so I’m working with a “tiny” but highly productive garden. Listening to you over time has really had me reach out beyond my expectations and grow more food and look at my home as my “city” homestead. A dream of waiting until we can move from this area has changed to….let’s get started and make it happen!!! Thank you!!! See you soon!!❤️🙏🏻
