About Six Acres Homestead
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 11 ม.ค. 2023
Empty nesters starting the homesteading journey in East Texas after selling our suburban home of 15 years. We plan on sharing how we become more self sufficient in growing our food, caring for the land, and raising farm animals - goats, chickens, geese. Learn with us, celebrate with us, and at times struggle with us as we follow God's calling to be good stewards of the land and strive to provide a legacy for our son.

Never too late for Christmas decorating
With only 4 days left until Christmas and our house looking plainer than ever, we had a decision to make. We decided to go for it and decorate for Christmas with things we had on hand. We might have gone without a real Christmas tree this year, but we are loving our decorations! This is definitely going into the "core memory" file.
We wish you the very best and Merriest Christmas!

Sourdough Bread Scoring
มุมมอง 11119 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
The scoring is one of our favorite parts of sourdough bread baking. After spending two days working on a loaf, giving it the additional flair of scoring just makes sense to me. In this video we show a "real time" scoring of a snowflake loaf. We also share our top 5 tips for sourdough scoring. Thank you so much for watching!

Homestead Life: Geese cuddles, broth, and Swedish Wreath Bread
มุมมอง 12814 วันที่ผ่านมา
No two rainy days are alike at the homestead. We used this day as a chance to catch up inside. After a quick check on our animals, Nick used Thanksgiving leftovers to make poultry broth. Homemade broth is quick, simple, healthy and delicious. We save money by separating out our broth in 1 cup increments and preserving it by freezing or canning it. We wrap up the day by making a Bread to go with...
Garden - Frost & Overwintering Pepper Plants
มุมมอง 11021 วันที่ผ่านมา
Our first frost was on it's way, so we had to quickly over winter and few pepper plants from the garden. Other than that we didn't prep the garden and just let nature take it's course. So see what survived and what didn't as we play Dead or Not Dead In The Garden Bed! As always, remember you are AWESOME and you are LOVED! #farmliving #homestead #homesteading #homesteadforbeginners #gardening #g...

Thank you! We usually only decorate for Christmas and I didn't want to miss out on giving our house the "Christmas glow" even if just for a few days
Love the family old pictures on the wall. ❤
Thank you! 🥰 One of our goals for next year is to finish hanging up the rest of our old family photos.
Awww the xmas tree is BEAUTIFUL

1:17 😂😂😂😂😂 unexpected take! Hahahaha😂😂😂

@aboutsixacres That sounds delicioso 😋
Awww❤ Your chicks eat healthier than me 😂😂❤❤
😂😂😂 Some of them are still molting so we've been trying to get them extra protein any way we can.
You are a true artist. Your scoring is inspirational! Thank you for the tips! Scoring is something I struggle with because I never know how far to cut
Thank you so much! It is a little bit of trial and error in the beginning to play with how deep to cut. I've gotten a "little" but better at gauging it though I still keep practicing on getting and even 1/4 inch or so deep expansion score.
Woah! It stayed! You did a great job. That's not easy to do!
Thank you so much! 😊 It was a lot of fun to do
Beautiful bread ❤❤❤. I love this video
Thank you! Really enjoyed making this
Your chicknic table is adorable 😊
Thank you! We had fun building it and I love that they use it 😄
What a rough patch ya’ll have had. Been there and it’s tough so hang in there. Feel better! It’s hard farming and never getting a break. Christmas decorations will get done so no worries
It certainly has felt that way at times😔. But we know every one goes through them and hopefully we've learned and are better for it. We are feeling so much better and our goal is to decorate a little bit...a teensy bit...and that should help liven things up here. Thank you for your support in watching and commenting. 🤗
You guys have had such a tough week, but your positivity and humor are inspiring. Thank you for sharing these moments with us, even when things are hard. Sending good vibes your way!
We are so grateful for you, thank you for the positive vibes!
@@aboutsixacres ♥♥♥
I’m so sorry to hear about Holly. Losing a favorite animal is always heartbreaking. Hoping you can figure out a way to keep the hawks at bay soon!
Thank you, sweet friend! We hope to try a few things later this month to help against hawks
@@aboutsixacres ♥♥♥
Ugh, I totally get how exhausting it is to try and keep up with things while still feeling sick. You guys are doing amazing, even with low energy! Hope you feel better soon!
Exactly! It's so hard to be productive when you're not feeling well! 😞 And we keep reminding ourselves that it's okay to slow down and get better. Thank you so much for your support and comments. 🥹
@@aboutsixacres Absolutely! It's totally okay when your body says "hey, can you just stop?" haha
God is Good . I love this video ❤❤❤
God has been so good to us...we have especially felt his love through all of this. Thank you 🤗
49F in Texas may as well be 0F! This looks like such a nice, calm day.
Also I am SO glad I had homemade bread to eat while I watched this. Your braided wreath turned out so well!
Cold is definitely relative and it felt freezing outside!
Oh yum! Very little tops homemade bread. Maybe homemade brownies 😋
The real lion😮😮
She's the sweetest cat ☺️🥹
Sweet baby😊
@watsnankrainat she is so sweet! Loves her midday naps!
Sweet baby’❤ she’s so lucky to have y’all!
@@WeTookTheLongWayHome 🤗 I don't know why it always amuses us when we find her napping. It's probably because she always seems to be on the prowl.
Yall are getting things done!! So happy for y’all! ❤ your home is absolutely beautiful. Hope y’all feel better!
@@WeTookTheLongWayHome can't believe we are one window away from finishing! We were so close before we got sick. Thank you!
03:06 worked great!!!
@@WeTookTheLongWayHome it really did! I don't know why we were surprised but it felt good to get the first one cut.
The guest bedroom is looking amazing! Great job getting the trim replaced and painted!
@@WeTookTheLongWayHome thank you! 2+ years later and hopefully soon we'll be done unpacking 🤪
About to watch ❤
@@WeTookTheLongWayHome thank you for taking the time to watch. Appreciate y'all
Great job getting things on your list done. It looks great. It truly is the little things that make you feel good. Curtains are so expensive so I agree buy what you can when you can. Huge win! We have a bunch to do also and little by little it is getting done each winter
@@YogiHollowFarm little by little! These are perfect winter tasks for sure. I can't believe we are just one window away from done!
God Bless you
@@benedictadominguez7097 thank you so much! God bless you too
I love ❤️ ❤❤
@@benedictadominguez7097 thank you!
Those chickens are so cute all snuggled up in the coop! And the goats in their little sheds...adorable. Glad everyone is staying warm and dry. Love seeing all your animal friends.
Thank you! We finally had some sunshine yesterday and they were thrilled for it!
@@aboutsixacres I'm so glad!!! ♥♥♥
This is exactly the kind of day I dream of. Cozying up inside, cooking something delicious, and hanging out with the animals. Thanks for sharing this slice of peaceful life with us.♥
There's always something to do, so I'm definitely glad for the days when we intentionally slow down. Thank you for commenting! I hope you get to enjoy some peaceful days!
@@aboutsixacres Thank you♥♥♥
What a great video yall!!! So awesome that you had your mom in the video this week!! ❤❤
@@WeTookTheLongWayHome it was so fun. she's normally camera shy, but she loves the kitchen!
18:18 I’m laughing so hard at this comment your husband made about the poppy seeds 😂
(Nick) I'm very fond of the Wizard of Oz, as I played the Wizard in my 3rd grade play. I only got the part because I was the only kid who could move wooden air balloon across the stage😄
05:17 that broth is going to be amazing! What a great idea on how to use your leftovers before they go bad!
@@WeTookTheLongWayHome broth is so pricey from the store and we use it so much. we know what is in there and, like you said, it's a great way to use leftovers
03:29 oh my sweetness!!!!! All 3 goats cuddled together ❤❤❤
@@WeTookTheLongWayHome it's the cutest thing. Lucy is a funny goat but she definitely protects her babies when they need her
2:00 look at him cuddling that goose! That’s the most adorable thing I’ve seen all day!!!❤❤
@@WeTookTheLongWayHome 😊 the geese demanded baths after getting human cuddles. Cracked us up to no end
00:55 such sweet chickens! I’m sure they want to stay dry as well
They do. This group doesn't like rain too much.
Sitting back to watch y’all’s new video!!!
@@WeTookTheLongWayHome Thank you! 🤗 We appreciate all your support.
