The Most We Have Ever Grown VLOG 

Jason! I have to tell you! I'm an old grandma here - every single time we get blessed by a download from you & you're wonderful family - it just brings me so much joy!! From the lessons you give us, to the great humor that just flows from you - I absolutely love you guys! Especially the way you talk to your animals ... the "cabbage party" comments - you end up making me feel like your animals each have personalities of their own. I just don't know how to convey how entertaining it is for me, sometimes if I'm feeling down & lonely. You help to bring me back up I adore you & your beautiful wife & daughter! Wish I could adopt you kids!! ❤❤❤❤

Well done Lorraine on your cabbages. You are reaping the rewards of your hard work now.

Lorraine, congrats on the cabbage. It’s beautiful. You should be so proud.

Jason, your patience with the sheep is so lovely to see. So many get to the point that they only look at them as livestock, and good for one thing. I love that you take the time with them and the pigs to be caring and kind with them all. Lorraine, your dinner looked amazing! Blessings to you all ♥

I really enjoyed seeing the cooking side of the farm. Wow those cabbages are huge!

Great looking veggies in the high tunnel. Wow...they must be the biggest cabbages ever. Lorraine, your cabbage rols looked delicious. Jason, I am happy to see one of the sheep is taking some treats from you. Won't be long before they both do it. Thanks for sharing, Y'all have a Blessed day.

I love your channel. Patience, Joy, Peacefilled, Compassion, How to do's, discovery and adventure in your journey and no drama. I look forward to your content. God bless.

It seems like yesterday you just planted that greenhouse. Wow! Those cabbages were impressive!

Gorgeous cabbage ! Ah yes , baling twine. Makes every homesteader a Macgyver !

I highly recommend the chicken workshop for anyone out there looking to do one! I am so glad I did it! Thank you guys for all the content you put out - it's inspiring, educational and realistic. Keep the videos and opportunities coming 🙂 Thanks for the cooking lesson too on this one - I think you should incorporate these on a regular basis.

Loved how the piglets chowed right down on that cabbage! They're cute!!!❤

I enjoy watching your videos. Vegetables look amazing. Making friends with the sheep.❤😊

❤❤❤ Hi Jason and Lorraine your place is looking great. you've made a lot of Headway this year you should be proud of yourselves. ❤❤❤

You have so much grass! What a difference from when you first moved on the property! Looks amazing, garden too!

I just planted my cucumbers up here in New England. I'm envying your high tunnel garden. All your hard work is paying off. 👏

The Garden Cabbage are Jumbo!!!😁😁👍👍So kool to see how healthy the land is now. Maybe if you sit in the grass at a lower level they might come closer... But they are def warming up to you😋

That was sweet. They’ll come around. God bless.

I look for you each day to see when you're on. I love watching All you share with us. I watch FRIDAY SHOPTALK AND ALL 3 OF YOU. YOUR GARDEN IS AMAZING. AL WILL NOT BELIEVE THE SIZE OF YOUR CABBAGE SENT HIM A PICTURE. SHEEP ARE SO PRETTY. THEY'LL TRUST YOU SOON. THANK YOU FOR A CABBAGE DINNER. MY MOM USED TO MAKE IT. AND THE BEST SAUERKRAUT GERMAN WAY. COOK IT ALL DAY. EVERYONE LOVED IT. SE MICHIGAN 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

Grain train them . I raised sheep for a long time and I used sweet feed or alfalfa pellets in a scoop to train them and tame enough to move them . They will get used to hearing you shake the scoop and getting a treat and will eventually follow you

The garden in the high tunnel is AMAZING! Thank you for posting this video cause I've been waiting to see the results. Those cabbages were huge! You guys are my favorite farming family to watch. Keep up the great work. Love it!

What a beautiful harvest starting! The garden is doing amazing and those sheep are adorable. Looks like it will be a great new season.

How could they resist you! Love you & your wonderful family. Thank you!

Wow, that is some huge Chinese cabbage! Amazing! Your high tunnel is wonderful. So good to see the sheep are doing well, almost lost them in video of them moving into the new grass area. Lol Thanks for your videos! God bless 🐑🐑 Happy Days! 😁👏☀️🤗🥰🙏🏻

Beautiful cabbage patch! Love the 🐑 maybe you can get some bottle babies to raise! They become so friendly and loving!

Loved your conversation with the sheep. They are beautiful.

I love your farm family content. ❤ Jason did a fantastic job building the high tunnel and installing the water faucets. The garden looks gorgeous‼️ "The sheep are shy but the pigs love me." 😂🤣😂🤣

Maybe once the sheep have settled in have smaller paddocks for more intensive grazing?

Tks for video. Love the green house cabbages , looking great. Ahhh those sweet piglets. ok until next time. Much love to ya

The greenhouse looks great! Jason if you need beef I wish you would get two. Harvest one early, then get number two a new beefy friend. Get into a rotation of 1 beef per year so they always have a friend but you get to harvest one beef per year atleast.

Oh GREATNESS !!!! I love the green house garden.

God is Blessing your homestead. between the food you grow, to warming up to the sheep ❤❤

GREETINGS AND BLESSINGS GOD BLESS YOU ALL 🙏

Two goats! They eat everything. Weeds, leaves, grass.... everything!! They eat non stop. Your veggies look great fam🥰

Kim Chee in Hawaii is very popular and my favorite. It's also a natural probiotic. But Mmmmmmmmmm is the best part for me!! With Aloha

Jason, did u say milkweed? Looks like pokeweed to me. Id cut it down. Difging it out is near to impossible. Ask me how I know. Everywhere. In my city yard garden. Dont leave them w a deadly temptation on top of your first loss. Is that Chinese cabbage? No tight heads as typical cabbage looks.

I learned about KimChi, fermented cabbage. Quite delicious, and you season as you. But very good for your gut health.

You need to get together with your friend Ben Hollar about putting in a orchard. You also have the space to put in enough berry bushes to meet your needs and beyond. If youre willing to be patient, many of the cane berries can be propogated from cuttings wintered in the high tunnel.

Hi, Jason and Lorraine! Your garden is exploding. I believe you are ahead of most farmers around here. That high tunnel is a boss.

You guys are great. We are in the process of selling pretty much everything we own here in Texas, including our 2 cars. My wife is downstairs searching for ranch property in Montana. You are an inspiration.

More of Lorraine's meals please. Also, I like the apron. 🤗❤️👏

Lorraine, us Slovak's call stuffed cabbage Holupki. I use V8 juice, & broth. Onions on top too & extra cabbage leaves. Yummy. I love you 3 &&& mom & dad. Better start looking for more beef Jason! Yum. Your lamb will be delicious ae well. God bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi ☦️ in Scottsdale 🙏🏻 and E Minister 🙏🏻 ❤️

You are amazing people. I love your channel. ❤

Those are some good-looking sheep. what breed are they?

Absolutely LOVE how well you care for your animals. Its so nice to see them be so well taken care of even though they will end up going to freezer camp....only one bad day!

Those sheep are so gorgeous - almost teddy bear looking faces. Your patience with them will pay off in no time. Cannot believe how productive the high tunnel is and of course those cute Kune Kune's just make my day.

Hi.... Jason and Loraine thanks you for showing your video homestead bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍

Fear in the animal kingdom is based on eye level. You have to sit ON THE GROUND

I don't have experience with sheep but I do have experience getting animals to accept me in their area and then getting used to me and I can do this with some wild animals. So, my first move is to be in the area they are, close enough to not spook them or get them to move away, but I don't think about the animal. I have something that I'm doing there. I feel this calms down almost any animal seeing you doing something and not paying attention to them. I have to think somewhere in survival mode is, when something is focusing on me they might be trying to get me. If they can move around freely with you not paying attention to them you're most the way there. The next step is then to make a sound that won't scare them, and nothing loud, maybe something you'll use to call them, and you do this as you pay a little attention to them but not moving toward them, and then you leave. I can't tell you how long this would take to get those animals used to you and moving freely around you, but the goal is to slowly pay more and more attention to them as they move more freely around you. I find I can get most animals to at least hang around, let me take pictures, feed them if that's what I want, etc.....

How are your high tunnel plants all so enormous?? It feels like you only planted them a week ago. Good job

your sheep are young . if you watch sheepishly me. sandy brock in ontario, canada she raises lots of sheep. she gives the lambs a shot as they start to get creep, (grains and hay, you grass) for they will stuff themselves and bloat, which can kill them. watch her vlogs to learn more. or check with a local vet.

Omg look at your cabbages. I’m sure there is a Cabbage patch kid in there somewhere.🥰

My understanding milkweed is great for pollinator (butterfly 🦋) Beneficial insects!

Watching sheep do nothing may be relaxing but Kuni piglets eating cabbage is 🫠

Have you considered raising meat rabbits? Their droppings are a superfood for soil. Chicking droppings you always have to worry about salmonella so I don't use it, but rabbits are so multifunctional..

Looks delicious food better than some that plan to quit grocery stores ❤

Your family has accomplished a lot this year!

How did all those veggies grow so fast??? Absolutely amazing speed of growth! You were showing us putting the high tunnel up only 6-8 weeks ago???

I noticed you have a ram. Are you planning on breeding the sheep? Your garden is looking awesome. I miss the fresh veggies.

Good progress with getting the sheep to warm up to you! Try petting the sheep under their chin instead of on top of their heads. Mine are usually much more comfortable with that.

Our sheep love their chins to be scratched rather than trying to pet them on top of the head😊

Garden looks great!! the sheep move was great, and they will love you just like the pigs.

YOU JUST PLANTED THAT STUFF. HOW ????

Stuffed cabbage, pretty native to my birthplace in Pennsylvania. Locally called halupki, holubky, or golabki, from eastern Europe.

Greetings from Prince Edward Island , Canada. Massive Napa Cabbage you have there. I grow Emiko, which is a Napa type. I just harvested some Arugula, spinach and cilantro. We are 45 degrees North, Zone 5B. I have just planted Broccoli and Amaranth. I loved this video, well done!

Wow the garden looks amazing....congratulations..I love cabbage..😊

Get some more animals cows or goats 😊

Love your life and videos and your farm by far one of the best homesteading channels out there enjoy your sheep 🐑 pigs 🐖 😀 😂🎉❤Pete cape Town south Africa 🇿🇦 looking forward to seeing you soon

Hello from Nairobi 😊such beautiful vegetables!!!!, it's always a pleasure watching you guys and the animals 😊 don't worry the sheep will soon adore you like we do 🥰🥰🥰

Jason you are learning your way with the sheep! Amazing how peaceful moving them to the new pasture was! Very chill 🙂‍↔️ I love the beauty of the farm is that nothing goes to waste! Next year the rows will be aligned, you guys always learn from your experiences! And dinner looked delicious Lorraine! 😋peace and blessings 💖

Chinese cabbage would be perfect fór kimchi! My favorité type of kimchi …yum

Your garden looks amazing, here in Central Wisconsin most people will be putting our gardens in the ground in the next week.....love the sheep...stay safe❤

Your garden looks amazing! I'm so happy for your success. Those sheep are gorgeous. Looks like you're making headway with them. The stuffed cabbage looked delicious Lorraine!

Amazing stewards amd inspiration for those of us also on this journey. Pa'lante gente!!

I absolutely love watching your farm videos as these inspire ideas for our own homestead…..ps….my gram made that exact stuff cabbage recipe….we call it “pigs in the blanket “

❤Of course I watch your videos all the time! Have been for many years! You guys are the best! Beautiful bounties all over your farm. So happy to see you all prosper!🐑🐑🐑🥬🥒🌶🌽🥕🥦🍅

Jason and Lorraine, the greenhouse is booming! That cabbage is beautiful!❤ The cabbage rolls looked so good. Yum! The granddaughters stopped by to see the broiler chicks, which were 2 weeks old. When Papa called them chicken nuggets the oldest gave him a stearn scowled look. Farm life lessons.

You’re a hardworking family; thanks for sharing tidbits of your lives! That garden is spectacular! Those cabbage rolls & fermentations looked delicious! I love all those ways of using cabbage but haven’t been able to grow it here (I buy mine when it’s in season here in the fall. Blessings to all from Canada 🤗

Who wouldn't watch your channel!! You guys rock. Just plain simple, down to earth!! Are you going to mow after the sheep or have the chickens follow them?

Have you ever had kimchi Jason or Lorraine ? You could make it with all that cabbage! Well I just got my answer 😂 note to self watch the whole video before commenting 😂😂😂

Aye. Sheep are skittish. Don't take it personally 😃 Whoa.Those cabbages got big quick!. Easy enough to add tubing or timber battens or wire along and then across the tunnel to make tie-up points where you need them. Love to see you doing well. ❤

As noted below, I love your channel as well. Have been watching for years. I like that you all are honest, humble (not stuck on yourselves), down-to-earth, family oriented, entertaining, you don't use clickbait.Thanks.

HINT: Get a Ultraviolet (Black Light) Flashlight and come out after dark. Hold the light close to your tomato plants and you will be able to see every tomato worm glow in the dark - even if they're only 1/4 inch long, so you can get them before they do damage. It's amazing and is such a helpful tip I learned many decades ago. Another hint about feeding the sheep is to give them their food in a flatish pan where they can see the food and eat it. Then when you give them their treat - give it to them in that same pan. They need to recognize what it is you're holding. Sheep can be a bit weird - nice but weird. LOL

Our family used to move our flock of 1,800 ewes just by opening gate and calling them 😊

Love the sheep..but I think you should go ahead and get another cow..you have the land for it..the beefy boys were so successful. Blessings❤🙏🏻

Thanks for this Video,I love them😊👍Your cabbages Look amazing ! Greatings from sweden ❤️

Love your perimeter fence. Has me thinking about my front 4 acres…. The cabbage and green house all look amazing. We had a bumper crop of cabbage this year as well .. I make a sweet and sour cabbage roll, bake and then freeze. Makes for an easy quick dinner. Sauerkraut is on today’s to do list.

That is some nice looking produce you guys are growing! Yummmmm. Great video. Love the sheep.

My cabbages/brassicas in the UK have been in the ground for twice the time yours have and are half the size!!! Unbelievable growth in your high tunnel.

Great video Jason. I love seeing your family out doing things together. Prayers for your family and your farm! Thank you!

Yum Lorraine that looked so good? Your cabbages were beautiful & amazing. How come your cabbages weren't eaten by cabbage moth caterpillars Lorraine? That was a very adorable cute moment at the end Jason you handfeeding the sheep those treats.

Lorraine, I'm wondering if you could use ground chicken in the cabbage rolls. ???

Nice video!! Loraine your cabbage 🥬 looks great! I’m very jealous!

What type of cabbage was that at the beginning? Awesome. I typed too soon😂. Mine are so small and yet technically they should be harvested. Our weather has been extreme though, Ontario Canada😢

Oooh the dinner looked delicious! The cabbage was beautiful. Love your videos!

Love watching your family and homesteading. Sheep do not have upper front teeth. So I’m Not sure they can bite you. So keep handing feeding and so be scared

I've been following you since you started I think. My daughter and I will come take the chicken processing course on the next go round, we can't make any June dates!

I’m German so I eat stuffed bell peppers and stuffed cabbage and I’ve never made it with anything but the normal cabbage and don’t ask me the name of it the orange stuff. Your recipe is quite different than ours in a way besides hamburger we use little cut up potatoes squares like and we put in a lot of sauerkraut and then tomato sauce/tomato soup and some onions. One year my sister growing up in her 20s decided she didn’t have time to do all that and she actually made it into a lasagna type. She layered the cabbage, sauerkraut, hamburger, potatoes just like you would have regular type lasagna and it was just all in a big baking dish and it was so good. Our stuffed bell peppers are made with the hamburger but also rice and your typical get ingredients for that.

I grow cabbage mostly for Sauerkraut. Fermented food is where the best health benefits are. You can ferment plants to extract the nutrients into a concentrated syrup to spray on your plants. Also do not throw the juice of Sauerkraut away, use it to start the next batch and drink the rest. Your cabbage is amazing! You should try and grow one for show. You just might win!

I think a BoerGoat is also something for you. A Boer Goat is a meat breed and the males weigh 180 kg and the females 105 kg. this is a fast growing breed
