We Used To Pay For These || Saving Money On Groceries 

I'm sure it's too late because I'm sure the video is days old. But next time you cut off the carrot tops, dehydrate them and use them almost like oregano or basil. Oh... and I have to share with Meg. I turned my Mom onto The Hollar Homestead years ago. She literally was enthralled with you guys. She even went back and watched every single video you made. She ordered some of your soap and was so tickled to death about it. Unfortunately, she passed last August. I've been cleaning out her house and today I found 2 of the 4 bars of soap she ordered from you. I'm now the proud owner of 2 bars of Bumblewood soap. I can't wait to try it. Love you guys!

Have you noticed??? Buggie is willing to share everything but the blackberries!!! 😘 😂🤣 😅

"I'm a farm girl"! Buggy you make this Grandma's heart sing, loved you're beautiful song too🥰

When your grocery store is in your backyard…life is good! ♥️👍😎

I about fell out of my chair laughing when Buggy announced "These berries are MINE!" As the little sister to two older brothers, I totally relate to that statement hun!! 🤣🤣

Ok. Dang it. I have rotted wood. I have room to dig a trench and I have 3/4 bag of potatoes that are growing in the bag. So I guess I know what I’m doing this afternoon ….😆

Buggy is getting so tall! What a joy she is to watch with her daddy. You're all such a wonderful family, thanks for the glimpses into your days.

Never tire of your sweet family and in awe of how much work you’ve done! Meg is the perfect homesteading person, wife, and mama! 💕

You and Buggie digging potatoes made me smile the whole time. I remember digging potatoes with my daddy. I remember the cool dirt under my feet after daddy plowed them. 😊♥️

Always enjoy little Buggie singing wherever she is, doing whatever makes her happy! Precious!

It won’t be long until you have another sweet girl following you.

Thanks for sharing your family life with us. Dad and kids working the land. Mom taking care of the little one and feeding her brood…the daily rhythms of life, the normalcy…it’s all such a breath of fresh air.

Ben, I love your relationship with Buggie. She is growing up at your feet, and she will look back at all this time spent together with great fondness. You are a blessed family. AND, FYI 24 pounds of organic fingerling potatoes on Azure right now are $70!! So great savings!

Cut those baby potatoes in half and can them with green beans. We love our green beans and potatoes!

Meg is so cute! Seeing Ben holding that baby was so adorable. And buggy being his morning chore buddy is so cute. I can't even believe how big she's getting.

That’s a nice patch of veggies it would be so nice to go out and pick your supper. I think your a true farmer Ben. I can see how much you like to plant and grow your own food and Meg loves to cook. Perfect match.

Love your perspective, it's like a breath of fresh air in a sea of sameness.

It would make a fabulous video if you gave us your total numbers of what your meat , eggs , & produce has saved you for even just a year at the going prices. I bet it's several thousand dollars ! Cause we know Meg is all about those numbers !! Lol. Great video today .

💕💗💕🙏🙏🙏 Blessed with a great harvest of potatoes,beets,and carrots. Blessed with a beautiful family. Blessed with a delicious supper. What more could one ask for. Thank The Lord Jesus Christ for you all !!! 💕💗💕

I love ALL The Hollar Homestead videos!

This year I have found the Coast of Maine soils and composts to be the best I've ever used. Have been so disappointed with the other brands which have turned out to be just bags of shredded wood that has not been composted or cleaned. Have lost many seedlings to crappy soil. So it was refreshing to see what's in Coast of Maine thriving.

Buggy’s braided pigtails are everything!..she’s absolutely precious!..that was a great haul of potatoes for a bonus bed!..well done Ben…love you guys..thanks so much for sharing your lives with all of us..blessings from your biggest Western NC fan❤🙏🏻

Wow! When I started this there were 299 views and now it's over 1k! Y'all are loved!!

New potatoes and peas with a cream sauce. 😋

Buggy, you are absolutely a farm girl and a great farm girl at that!

Good afternoon, thank you for sharing your harvest today! It brought back memories of being on the farm when i was a child and all the food my grandmother and aunts used to preserve, well first dig up and clean and then preserve. I have many happy memories of that farm and my grandmother who would be 115 today. Have a lovely evening.

Sure wish that Meg could electronically ship what she cooks via video's. ;) Loved the whole family interaction today,

It’s fun watching the kids help & get excited about their harvest! The baby sure is growing. So sweet & Buggy too.

my goodness i just realized how tall buggy is. she gonna be long legged like her daddy she is such a treasure ❤❤❤

I love to see you and Buggi working in the garden. She loves working with you and exploring the many treasures in your gardens.❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊

I love how you guys use everything. Waste not want not my mom used to say.

Love seeing Buggy laying in the sunbeam on the floor while Meg makes dinner. ❤

WOW! Buggy is your little right hand gal.... and oh how she has grown! Makes my heart soar every time I see her out with Dad on the farm...and after all... like she says... she is a "farm girl". SHE IS SO TALL and THINNED OUT NOW! Perfect timing for the newborn.... Love your family!

I planted my teeny tiny potatoes in a random spot of the garden I cleared, hoping to use the big ones for seed potatoes next year! Love ya'll! Hey everyone in the comments I love you too! 💚

I remember gardening with my Dad, I was one of six children and I was the only one that liked to garden so that got me lots of quality time with him. Buggie is a wonderful helper and it is sweet to see her spending time with her Dad and learning!!!

Just a small 10-minute thunderstorm. Dropped 20° to 78° Last night, lots of heat lightning for over an hour. We only had sprinkles. Many got hit hard with terrible storms. A big mess. Lots without power. BLESSED. All is WELL. THANK GOD. EXCITED 52 FRIDAY SHOPTALK YES🎉🎉🎉🎉 SE MICHIGAN 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 GREAT PICKINS OF FOOD. PIGS ARE HAPPY.

So cute watching you and buggy picking potatoes. The thing I do with tiny potatoes is wash them, slice them in half, coating them with olive oil, and sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper and parmesan cheese. Then bake them in the oven till done.

"Butter makes everything better!" So true..

I don't remember whom to attribute this, but STUN gardening: Sheer Total Utter Neglect.

I rember finding your channel through Art and Bri when he came over to help with the remodel. I have enjoyed watching your family life on the farm. I wish I could live on a farm like I grew up on.

When you see your two orange cats together, you really can see the difference. Love little sister 🥰. She reminds me as a little sister. I'm a much older sister these days 😉.

That's what I did this week. Replanted some potato plants after taking the biggest ones off. I just plant peels and that is where I get all the potatoes that I grow.

I absolutely love your channel and your family! What a blessing to be part of your life through videos. I even got my mom to start watching and now she’s going to order from your store. BUT the reason for this comment is for Buggy…let her know that me and mom say GROW everytime we put a plant in the ground. We actually just did it this morning 🤣 thank you for your informative videos you’ve taught me so much and thank you for sharing so much. Your family is loved and blessed.

Dad and his sidekick. Priceless! Memories for you to hold on to for ever.

Ben, thanks been wondering how the back garden was doing not bad amount of potatoes. Same with carrots and beets always nice seeing the boys helping out. Buggy the farm girl so adorable and love her pigtails Meg. Meg, the chicken pinwheels oh my looked so delicious. Have a great weekend. Blessings to you and the family. 😊🇺🇲

I have to tell you, those chicken rolls of yours are now a favorite of my family. So delicious, and my new favorite way to use up leftover chicken.

QUESTION: What's the status of the addition? Is it waiting funding, inspection, cooler days, the baby to get a little older, slowing down of all the farming things, or some combination of all the things?

Hello? Hi - yes can I book a table for two at Meg's Kitchen Restaurant ? 7:00 pm is perfect. Are Baby snuggles included? Ta. See you then!

Was Meg a chef at some point in her life or prior life. She has a impressive knowledge of preparing food.😊

Yea Maine!! 💚🙌🏽 Proud Mainer here!! 👋🏽 Coast of Maine has great products! So we run a horse farm here in Maine and take our manure to a compost facility about two miles from our farm. Bensons Farm. They make the absolute BEST compost called Surf & Turf. I adore it for my gardens! Fun fact.. they recently took a humpback whale that washed up passed 😢 in our local harbor to their facility to compost. They use so much seafood shells/ waste, coffee grounds, animal waste etc.. it’s an impressive facility/ operation!!

I have been meaning to build a Hugleculture bed… glad yours worked so well! Good to hear! I just love how Buggie has been your helper! What a great kid! ❤ Love your channel! 💚🙌🏽

3:54 Buggie sets clear and distinct boundaries. Good on you girl❕

the best potting soil ever:) I started my gated in New Hampshire with branches and hunks of wood then put soil over it and was the best garden ever..

Buggy is a great farmer, love how she enjoys being with you and learning. Your boys are so great they jump in and really know what there doing, your both good teachers. Life long learning that will always help them. Love your family.

Megs runaway bread sure is amusing... Your hugelkultur mound at the dugout that stays moist all the time, is really genius... All that good farm air and farm food sure is making Buggy stretch... from teany potatoes to baseball plus sized beets mother nature is smiling at your farm... And with Millie and Sketch leading the pack... You just know... "All Is Well At This Homestead."

My grandad used to make fried potatoes and then add the eggs directly into the fried potatoes and cook till the eggs were completely cooked. It was so delicious! I still make taters and eggs like this to this day. It's always been a favorite of mine!

I am a farm girl. Ben starts so early in morning and there is his little farm girl so beautifully turn out. ❤❤🌻🌻

I love eating from the garden, delicious! Buggie is so darn cute! ❤

When you were pouring the chicken into the bowl I thought PINWHEELS . I wish I could have had some of those. Thanks for the video!

When I was young my grandma & I would dig up little potatoes like that . They were the red ones , she called them 'new potatoes '. (she lived in a neighborhood but had a pretty big yard.) The way she served them was like a delicacy to me. She had the knack with just the right amount of salt and butter.

Good job Meg, with the bread dough you couldn't have done any better. Meg 💥💙❗❗❗💙💥

Hey Hollers 👋, I bought a bag of those babies and planted them in the Greenstalk 👍. I've made seed potatoes out of them and they are up and running out of the Pots as we speak! The beast place for a Farm Girl is in the garden with Daddy😍. She also knows where the treats grow😂. 🤔 spoiled by Mumma 🤗. Happy Harvesting 😊. JO JO IN VT 💞

early harvest of potato's we call 'new potatos' in the UK, they are really good cleaned boiled or baked, i like to halve them coat in butter and air fry them, mini roast potato's, great for salads or snacking...

Buggie is soooo smart!! She IS a little “farm girl”!!! ❤️❤️

Hollar Family---My goodness. You are Goodness. Thank you for sharing your authenticity!

I like leaving some little potatoes in the ground for fall potatoes. Buggy is always ready to help dad out in the garden, even though she eats more fruit than ever makes it to the kitchen 😂. Such a beautiful family and you guys are very blessed.

Wow what a harvest haul. With a big family it certainly a huge bonus helping with good tucker. Love seeing all the kids chip in the reaping the harvest. Great family involvement. All in ... ❤ just helping the next generation learning the great skills of providing for family

Your new little one is so precious! It's fun to see a thriving tiny baby!

I don't have an appetite when I'm hot either. Moe is my spirit animal; doing what I wish I could do...lay down in the shade.🤜 Have a blessed weekend!!! ✌️💖🙏🇺🇲🇮🇱✝️🕊️🙌

Can't beat the taste of a garden grown carrot.

I guess every berry on the HH is really a Buggie berry. Like she said, she's a farm girl, and you can't change that. Be blessed y'all. Jesus Rules!

Little Buggy’s face when she explained that the blackberry was hers…..priceless. She definitely is your farm girl

When will you get a chance to get back to building the addition? Love watching Buggy ...

Awesome farvest! Great to see you beautiful family! Blessings!

So ...watching Buggie wander around in old logs and bushes, I wonder if you all have snakes and poisonous critters to watch for. How are the ticks in tall grasses/bushes? How lucky you are , able to spend so much time with your kids, especially Buggie. Truly blessed.

Potatoes are my husband's love language! (LITTLE BABY IS SO SWEET!!🥰)

❤Buggy found the best treasure

Ben, I think you have a good garden this year. Yeah, beets and beef greens and you've had good potatoes. Also in a miscellaneous spot of putting the potatoes at hookup culture area. Good job! Ben, I wouldn't have done it any better than what you've done this year in your garden. You've done very well this year. I couldn't have done it any better Ben congratulations Ben on your garden this year 💥🩷❗❗❗🩷💥

Nothing better than baby potatoes in cream with fresh dill. Soooo yummy.

Ben and Meg ❤ Making smashed potatoes of the tiny potatoes is perfect . Just cook them for 5 minutes unpeeled of course. Lay them out on a heavy buttered sheet pan and smash them with the bottom of a glass. Lots of salt and pepper and some garlic power and sweet paprika powder . In the middle of the oven at 390 Turn after 12 minutes and add more spices and cook in the oven for 12 more . Maybe longer , depends on the oven , they are supposed to turn out really crispy round the edges and soft in the very middle😊 Some freshly cut chives on top before serving is the icing on the potato cake😂 One of the best potato dishes ever ❤ I love it with a whole pork loin wrapped in bacon, some fresh green beans sautéed in garlic butter. Creme fraise with herbsalt and chives to dip the potatoes in. Maybe ranch will be preferred by most Americans 🙃 I Hope someone in this comment section will try this for dinner one night. May I suggest a blackberry cheesecake cobbler for dessert. If you don’t know what that it. Just make your normal cobbler You just cut cold plain Creme cheese in small squares and add the bits random on top like the blackberries ( or other berry or fruit if you prefer) Some cinnamon and Demerara sugar on top before cooking vanilla ice cream on the side.. 😅😅😅😅 Yeah.. making myself hungry.. I know what I’ll serve my next guests now, haven made this in a long time, but all of it is amazing ❤❤❤ I love you guys so much!! 😊😊

In Canada we have a short season of the best "new potatoes" called warba. So tasty!!!! The best small potatoes and totally different than those small potatoes they sell in grocery stores! Do you grow "warba" potatoes too? The season is short, but so worth spring/early summer baby potatoes with butter & Chopped fresh dill!

Oh that little Buggie, such a sweetheart helping dad with morning chores!!!❤ It seems like she has grown a bushel now that she's a big sister!🤗 And speaking of growing, little Elizabeth definitely is filling out and growing good on mama's milk!!!!❤ Y'all make the prettiest babies!😘 I still think Elizabeth Rose is a spitting image of Buggie at that age! So beautiful! Meg, your chicken pinwheels look delicious! Nice haul of new taters, carrots, and beets. I love to roast root veggies. The beets turn out so sweet. I've got the large Pampered Chef sheet pan, and I fill it full of cut up beets, carrots, sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, onions and garlic. Drizzle a little olive oil, salt/pepper, and a touch of dried Italian herbs, then bake until tender. Roasted root veggies are so good...beets are my favorite though cause they get so sweet! P.S. After watching a 2nd time, I just noticed the "Biscuit" rug in your living room!!!! Nice and soft!👌

I simply love watching all the kids and Mom & Dad workng like its no biggie.... Kids are getting soooo big. Keep it up!

Ben: I will say theres some itty bitty ones... Meg: That's ok, we can still eat 'em Meg: *licks lips in anticipation* ❤😂❤

Those little potatoes are great cooked with green beans and onion, and of course garlic. What a bounty, and Buggy is great help to dad!

Buggy is so grown up and she is a great helper.

Do you ever have concerns about rattlesnakes? Have you considered drying out the eggshells and then grinding them into a calcium powder via a small blender to amend soil?? Carrot tops for the chickens? Pigs, fat, too hot?

Any updates on the addition? Your garden is jamming!!

You can grow pretty much anything on hugelmounds, though it is often argued by proponents to rotate in that section you've grown potatoes this year, grow beans/peas or berries in the spot next time out, potatoes can given their nature as a root vegetable damage the layers within the mound so its also worthwhile "repairing" the layers, but are quite demanding on the nutrients within it. Also dont forget the mounds themselves only last 4 or 5 years before you need to rebuild it from scratch.....

Her vocabulary is so good!! She imitates mom and dad very well. Lol😊

So nice to see someone else trying hugelkulture and succeeding! We tried it first in Colorado, but really had to learn more. When we moved back to Oklahoma, we had red clay soil and got more serious about it. It really transforms clay soil if done properly. Happy growing

I really enjoyed this video and also the comments, in response to one video which said soon another little girl will be following daddy, I don’t think this girl will be like buggy, this will be a mama’s girl. She will like to sweep and clean and cook. It will be fun to watch the difference in the two girls..have a nice weekend.

❤❤❤ Good afternoon WONDERFUL family. I hope you have a good weekend. ❤❤❤

💜YESSA ORGANIC SOIL FROM MAINE THE WAY LIFE SHOULD BE LOVE IT HERE💜

We've used Coast of Maine for years. It started because we are in New England, but We've stuck with them because they have the best products in our experience.

Your little girl loves to work with her daddy ,im 61 and I've learned some things about a garden .😊😊😊 Thank you for shareing your life with me .

A couple of years ago, I found that Happy Frog soil was full of small stones, large wood chips, the quality had gone way down. Have since switched to Coast of Maine & found the quality much better.

Carrot tops make a great pesto. With some garlic, chopped cashews(unsalted), olive oil, lemon zest, small amount lemon juice, a bit of salt and grated Parmesan cheese. Is great on pasta or roasted meat. Grilled cheese, or on fish, on a rice.bowl, a great way to liven up a roasted veggie dish. Many ways you could use it. Mix with artichokes or cheese and make into a cheese dip or spread

Not sure if those are onions or garlic flowering in your hugel, but you should harvest the seed if they are onion. If they are garlic they are called bulbils, they are not seed, per se but actual clones of the garlic they grew from. Gather them after the flowers are open and the papers on the bulbis seem dry. Plant them in a trench when you plant the rest of your garlic. The first year you harvest them you will get "rounds" or individual cloves. The next year you plant them like regular garlic and you will get small heads. After that just plant the largest to get bigger heads. Just make sure you mark your bulbis trench, they look just like little blades of grass, I've ripped out quite a few pulling weeds

Buggy is so funny and cute and she seems to be getting taller. I love when she spontaneously breaks out into song.
