Winter on the Homestead + Garden SEEDS Chat 

I always love how people react to homesteading/homeschooling like "won't you miss being a part of society?" and I'm like "not being part of it is kind of a point"

I love how meticulous you and Cam are about every project you do. Your pantry countertop turned out great. Not only is it so utilitarian, it’s beautiful too. So, not only is your entire family impossibly photogenic, all of you know how to do so much! Cooking, home schooling, gardening, raising animals, preserving, carpentry, sewing…it’s truly impressive.

I’m pretty sure pantry envy is a thing and I have it for yours. Love how the appliances are accessible.

Thank you for taking your precious time to make your videos, much appreciated. It’s sooo nice to see you and your husband teach your children and that they are so involved. In 1981 when I was 12, my dad moved the family from a suburb in Cleveland, Ohio to “back home” in West Virginia” to homestead. Was the best thing for our family.

I love how you get your children involved in everything! Beautiful thing to see!

Were trying to grow all of our own food and I didn't know how important organic seeds are. Thanks for the tip. Now I I have a good reason to order more seeds.....

I'm sure happy I found your channel. There is so much information and you are the sweetest family. You must be so proud of your children.

You’d probably love Fruition Seeds company. All certified organic and I’ve had 100% germination on the seeds I’ve tried from them. Very good customer service too and informative pre-recorded webinars on gardening available.

Thats a great point about getting stronger plants! I'm definitely going to try to save more seeds in the future.

Your big circle there would make a lovely herb garden with some big rocks spersed throughout.

I've really gotten attached to your family. Your children are awesome. So rarely do you see children pitching in and helping as yours do. I would love to see them talking more. Your one son looked like a professional chef when he chopped up onions. What wonderful parents they have. Thank you for the seed saving information. I've never been able to grow plants from seeds I've saved. Now l will try and use organic seeds. Thank you sooo much.

I love how your children are involved in all this and looks like they enjoy it too. Good to see these skills being passed down to today's kids. 👍

Yes to getting organically grown seeds! I’m excited to see how your saved zinnias turn out!

I need to start grabbing a notebook and pen before I start your videos. You teach so much and have so much wonderful information you share. Also I love that you involve your kids in all your projects. From weeding and gardening to building the wood shed. Your children are gaining such valuable life lessons from you two amazing parents.

This is such a beautiful channel and a wonderful way to live! This is exactly how our lives should be like.. the kids are learning so much living this way.. each have their part and work together! I love it!! Especially in modern times and what we are all going through.. I wish them much success! God bless them..

I know organic is wayyy better all around. But I didnt even think about how plants that you get seeds from (commercially) are sprayed more because they are on the plant longer 🤯 Its really common sense, but I completely didn't even think about it 😅 Thanks for the extra knowledge!

Your kids are so wonderful! They always stick around to help parents! The bests kids , ever!

Your videos give me so much inspiration. My husband and I recently purchased 31 acres on an older farm that use to grow and sell Moss back in the 1950’s. It’s been neglected for quite some time. We have been giving it some much needed care and love. After only being at the New farmland 3 months now. I’m proud to say we have achieved a lot in such a short amount of time. We now have 21 goats, 15 laying hens, one rooster and 3 dogs.

nice pantry, and that countertop is beautiful. cam is a keeper, isn't he. thanks for sharing

Good to see that the kids loves to eat vegetables👍

The song at the beginning.....I can't even..... Finally found it: (Trevor Kowalski - "The Best Way Out is Through") I love your videos and your farming!

Very useful information about the seeds! Also, it's great to watch how the kids grow into this self-sufficient life and are so so helpful. Hope my small boys will be this helpful too one day. :)

We live on the wife's old home place. The father-in-law thought it would be great to have Bermuda grass in the back yard. He also thought it would be fun to see how many Morning Glory Blooms he could get in a day. Now, my misery. The wife is the seed saver. God Bless and stay safe.

I did not realize you are so close to me. For some reason I thought you were way northeast of TX. It is very common in Korea to have crocks 4 feet and taller for making kimchee lol you should have one just for your son. I love your counter in the pantry everything is turning out so nice. I'm just so proud of your whole family cause you're doing a really great job with everything! Thanks for sharing!!

I've wondered about buying organic seeds. Your explanation is very good. Like you, I'm aiming to save seed, but am not there yet. Maybe this year.

I really love your content! It's very informative and well-edited and enjoyable to watch.

She is a great helper

I love your channel so much! We live on 42 acres in central AR and we're several steps (more like 50 lol) behind you in our homesteading journey. I love learning from you and watching your family achieve goals. Like you, we are always working on a project and our children all pitch in and learn right along side us. It's wonderful. Thank you for sharing your journey, your knowledge and skills, and your time with us. Blessings!

I'm going to make a similar counter top out of birch. So It'll be a light color. Well! the first time I heard someone give a good and more informed reason for buying organic seeds! I enjoyed this video! TFS!

GREAT information! I learned a lot today that I had never heard about before. Thank you for putting this together.

Fashion forward chickens....its the content I love. So creative.

Love the countertop! You're an inspiration to me.

Hello I am a retired professor in the tropical island of Puerto Rico a commonthwealth of USA. My hobby is vegetable gardening. It also helps me with anxiety and boreness . I have my garden spot on the roof of my house cause everything around the house is in cement. I plant in big planters. I have been producing for 3 years in my roof. I have been seeing your videos for 3 days. I admire your hard work and the method of organization you have acquire to have your homesteading. I wish I could acquire a small piece of land to do what you have beeing doing. Keep up the good work and I pray and bless you . So keep it up! it is not easy to do what you have done you have a wonderful land and family. Wish I can see what you have done personally, I would be in wonderland. I have learn a lot from your videos. Blessings from my heart.

I'd love to see a full pantry tour and some meal videos on how you bring together the food you grow and preserve. Love your videos!

I am a beginner gardener and I am developing more and more respect for people who grow their own food successfully, it takes so much knowledge and planning and work. I always bought organic seeds, but it is really good to hear your explanation, I feel even better about it now, thanks!

Just subscribed to your channel, and just wow, so much information. I love how the whole family is working together and everything is so organized. You have a very beautiful homestead.

I love watching your videos...😊

What an absolutely fantastic video!! So much footage and variety ❤️ I enjoy your channel so much that I made my own personal playlist. Becca, your voice soothes me 🤗 I turn on my playlist every single day and let it play and play while it is my nap time. I end up falling asleep after a few videos but figure, Hey...I want to give this family as much viewership as possible. That's how much I enjoy you 😁

You have a lovely family! I followed your recipe and have our first batch of kimchi going right now. I hope my kids like it as much as yours!

Always look forward to your videos. Very interesting info on seeds! 🦋👌

The saddles are a fantastic idea🙌 Thank you 🌷😊

Blessings to all!

Yall are in Arkansas!! Lol I've been binge watching yalls videos and was wondering where yall were! I'm from Hope!

I love the information about the seeds. Thank you so much!

Hello from Canada!!! thankyou soo much for making more video! I"m so excited every time you post a video. You have a beautiful home and beautiful family!!! God bless

Love the pantry countertop, beautiful job; and neat line up your appliances, as well as hidden buckets with curtain. 😁

Maybe if you got pigs that like to root around you could put them on your soil at the end of the growing season to remove the grass. If you have multiple plots you could move them between the beds. Their manure would also feed the soil. You could then process the meat late in the year.

Your videos have shown me what a proper family looks like. Good on you for how efficient and resourceful you are. Inspirational 😊

Thanks you for the inspiration! We had the same problem with our chickens, great idea, thank you so much! We are gardening and raising animals in Great Plain, Hungary, trying to be more self-sufficient. Bless you all, Tünde

Really nice pantry..I'm jealous...lol

Hi, i am from Paraguay. My husband and I are starting a self-sufficient homestead. I love your videos and learning a lot. We have a very different climate, still lots to learn.

Oh wow how I yearn to live more like you

She should write a book of tips for gardening that brings the best from all of her experience and all of the books shes read.

If you would ever be willing to do a home tour I would LOVE to see that too! You continue to be a HUGE inspiration to me and my family!

Australian brown onion seeds there, woohoo 🙌 Nice to see!! Thanks for explaining the why for organic seeds 😊

Another great video! PLEASE make more.

This is an insane collection of seeds! Kudos to you & your family

I didn't know you guys were in Arkansas! I'm from Benton but I live in Southern Missouri now. You guys are really inspiring. Thanks for sharing your lives! Shalom

Cool idea for the chicken. Plus I like that mobile chicken coop what I saw of it makes sense keeping them up off the ground if it rains.

Love the music. Nice touch. Great info too!

Beautiful countertop!

Absolutely love you and your content. My boyfriend and I always look forward to your new videos! Thanks for sharing where you get some of your seeds!

Amazing! Love watching your videos very inspiring.

This is a wonderful video, thank you for sharing.

Very helpful video, much appreciated!

New subscriber here! Thanks for the great explanation about the reasons for planting organic and seed saving.

New subscriber and loved your seeds talk-- great info! And AMAZING LOOKING homestead! (Just a "dreamer" currently and gathering info & inspiration)

New subcriber here from PH.. I'm binge watching your videos.. 🙂

Hello Seasonal Homestead Family! New subscriber as of today! Love to watch your videos…we have a new house on 1.3 acres in the city but our acre downslopes and I am wondering if we can plant on the hillsides too! But I am on an adventure of researching and planning. Very interesting how you all cared for the chicken losing their feathers…thank you for sharing your lifestyle and all the hard work the family has put in to educate us…take care!

Thanks for the educational videos....from Philippines...

Love your pantry

The counter tops looks great

As usual thanks for sharing your thoughts and energy with us 🙏🥕🤜🤔

Thank you for the seed info. I had no idea how conventional seeds were grown. I will keep watching for more tips.

Can you do your picks and faves for this year you plan for your spring garden?

Whoever's birthday it was happy birthday 🥳🎉

I’m drooling over your pantry and cold room storage. We live off grid so we wouldn’t be able to do the cold room. We’re also still working on the shed to house conversion, a pantry will be added on to my kitchen eventually. And you can include the building project as homeschooling! The concrete is learning about ratios, putting in the posts would be fulcrum sand balance, and the boards for the rest would be measuring.

Great information!

Wow nice pantry!

Truly inspiring, total #goals

Great 👍 sharing I love chicken farm

I'm new in your channel ☺️ the last year was my first time , that I planted my vegetables , so I want to learn more about it , ... Thank you for share all your knowledge 😃 .... I'm sorry for my bad writing ,.... english is not my first language

Please do a what my family eats in a week video

Just found your awesome channel and subscribed. Have you thought about adding ducks to your livestock? Their eggs are wonderful and make the best pasta. They also will take out every pest in a garden. Looking forward to more videos.

Thank you for the seed comparison info! Wow, I thought I had a lot of seed packs, lol.

I've watched all of your videos now and wow! Lifetime follower here. ✨️ I'm learning so much! I faillllll at gardening but love love love to preserve! What state are yall in?

Hi! I've never commented on a RU-vid video before, but just want to say that I love your channel. We have started growing some plants and dream of having our own land someday soon, so your content is very inspiring and informative! I have a question/video recommendation - what do you do with the material left over after harvest? Do you compost or use it in other ways? It'd be awesome to see the aftermath in the garden and learn about your composting process. Thank you for posting these amazing videos! Edit - I just saw that you have a composting video! I should have taken a closer look - going to watch it now!

Do you have any recommendations on books that you read to learn how to grow a large-scale garden? Or anything that helped you wrap your head around the different practices involved? Thank you!

Pantry is so cute! Love the simple white curtains. Also, where did you get that army green jacket? Who says a homesteader can't also be stylish? LOL love your videos.

Such an informative video thanks. Can l please get a copy of your Kimchi recipe.

hello from Belgium ! ;)

Hello! I LOVE your channel! I was wondering if you have ever considered writing a book? I would also love to see your tips for beginner gardeners like myself.

Are you a virgo or taurus? You seem so grounded and focused on the earth! 😄

I love the wood boxes your seed packets are in ! Where did you get them?

Do you have recipe for your cajun cowbow soup u can? I love your videos btw. 😀

I got some planting area in my yard out the back where I'm sure I can use...but it's all covered with very tall grass!! It is going to be a very big job as it has too be pulled out by hand!! LOL!! Not looking forward too it...as I don't have helpers like you unfortunately!! LOL!!

Johnny's Selected Seeds!!! I was searching for that company's nane for years!!! Thank you! Also, what is the size of your pantry? It's my dreamed one!

I'm from Arkansas also. SE AR on 10 acres. I live there by myself as an older lady with just a container gardener. So unlike all the gardening you do I do have alot and also microgreens and sprouts.

Love!! Can you share your kimchee recipe please!

Love your content! Wondering about your chickens. I’m in zone 6a and was considering using chicken tractors. Do you put them in a different location when colder in the winter?
