Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland Australia about 45kms north of Brisbane - the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started Self Sufficient Me in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let's get into it! Cheers, Mark :)

G'day Everyone, by CRIKEY we had a lot of fun at Hosanna Farm Stay (talking about acreage envy lol...) www.hosannafarmstay.com.au/ I have uploaded one extra clip on my second channel already you can see it here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Nml_a0fofBY.html it's about pigs. I will upload all of the extra footage from our stay at Hosanna over the next several days to Self Sufficient Me 2. Thanks for your support! Cheers :)

My Dad moved our family to the country when I was 7 and I learned to love it. I spent my summers Hiking threw the woods and finding stuff under rocks while my siblings found every reason to hate it. They would start their bickering and fighting and I would just disappear into the woods or, to the middle of the hay ring to pet the horses while they munched away.

One of my favorite videos of the last 5 years. Due to the many well-documented small pieces of footage and the understandable explanations. One can truly feel the symbiosis of silence and a relaxing atmosphere on the farm. Slow lifestyle is the best time of all times.

@joanies6778 3 года назад

So many people get into homesteading, not realizing how hard it truly is, and how much work is involved. I wish they had these farmstays available everywhere, for various climates, because each climate has its own risks and rewards, but so people can do the work while there...to understand what's really involved. This looks more like a vacation.

I grew up on a farm, getting up early to milk cows, clean the pig pen, round up the chickens, pluck veggies from the garden, and do it all over again 7 days a week. Always took time out for Sunday church, then back to farm! I still garden to this day, but can't have any farm animals where we live. Great fun!

A farm stay inspired me to start Calisto Park equestrian, a charity That basically provided equine therapy, riding and self sufficiency to all in need of the service. Now I have plans to set up a retreat and trips to visit other poly culture farms has been inspiration, plus the PDC I just completed. Highly recommend farm stays and tours. It could make that massive difference and help to discover the purpose within.

Absolutely love it, the commitment, work & being prepared for the unexpected must be factored in

Looks like a great time. I don't know if there are any of these here in the states. I did grow up in NY's dairy land and between my Dad and 2 of my Uncles we had just under 3,000 acres and many cows. We also raised pigs and all kinds of fowl. We made maple syrup and one Uncle had bees so he had honey. We also did a lot of hunting so most of the time we were Self Sufficient except for paper and soap products. So I do know what farm life is like. By the way our veg garden was on the ground (not raised beds) and covered 2 acres when I lived with my folks. I only have 3 1/2 acres now so the garden is much smaller. Times have really changed. Now I work in a factory where I make Corelle dishes.

@AnitaLusty 3 года назад

@tasty_boy1905 3 года назад

I would have to agree with some comments. This is a wonderful resort but I could not recommend it as a way to determine if you want to homestead. You truly have to be fully involved in the running of the homestead. You need to be the one that is responsible for the care of all the crops and animals. It is a huge responsibility and I believe you know that. Between the work and keeping your animals and crops safe. What it can be like if you lose animals. I watch your videos and I see it don't go as planned always. That said I fully believe it can be away to get a glimpse of the country. If you just simply want to live in the country and maybe just tinker in some farming. It could grow to end up with something large like Hosanna Farm size but first just be happy with living in a country home.
