How To Process A Chicken
It's time to process my first round of chickens and in this video, I'll walk you through how to do it step by step.
Raising chickens for meat is not as complicated as it might seem. I stopped buying meat from the grocery store a few years ago and have never looked back. Stay tuned to see exactly how to process a chicken from start to finish.

Planting A Years Worth Of Food!
มุมมอง 3.4Kวันที่ผ่านมา
Welcome back! It's the end of May which means it's time to start planting.

Installing Bees On The Homestead
มุมมอง 1.4K21 วันที่ผ่านมา
My new bees have finally arrived and I'm so excited to have them back! Last year I lost my bees to rodents and I was devasted. This is my fourth season of beekeeping and unfortunately, I'm starting back at square one. I learn more and more about beekeeping each year, so I'm excited to see what this season brings. Many have asked if honey will be available on the website. The answer is yes, depe...
Spring On A Homestead! New Gardens
มุมมอง 2.8Kหลายเดือนก่อน
Spring is one of the busiest times of the year, especially since moving to a new property before winter. Today I have to cut in all my new gardens for the season and start putting up t-posts so that Annie can rotationally graze. The weather did not cooperate today, it was incredibly windy and very rainy! But, the work needed to get done regardless of what the weather had to say about it. Stay t...
Processing A Deer!

Welcome back! I've had a deer, skinned and quartered in the freezer since hunting season and have not had time to process it until now! Today was finally the day.

The kids helped me package the venison and we saved some for dinner! It was a good day, a...

Maple Syrup & Firewood at the Off-Grid Cabin

We're only a few days away from spring and that means it's almost time to wrap up syrup season. We are on our second boil of the year and ended up with an additional 14L to add to the 20.5 L we got from the first boil. We have optimal sap weather for the next 10 days and we're hoping for enough sap to do another 20L of syrup, which would bring our grand total to 50L. Today we decided to take ad...

We are only mid-season so we still have our taps out and are hoping for a second boil in the next few weeks. At the ...

    I lived off grid for 7 years and we did firewood to pay the bills and I think you have a excellent amount you can get through any winner, I happen to know that it's possible to do 6 chords a month. My routine was split tost and stack and then deliver, I love the fact that you put it on your porch real close real Handy and that you have so much there's nothing wrong with having enough firewood to staying warm.

    We just watched your video and had the same issues with mice last year! Luckily we have some really knowledgeable people in our bee group who showed us a product that works excellent! We got a set of these mice guards from our local bee shop but i found a link too the same ones that I will post at the end of this comment. You essentially screw in 2 clips at either side of your entrance and this mouse guard slides down against your bottom board allowing no way for a mouse to get in. And the exra cool thing is you can flip it upside down and it has very small holes to allow for ventilation into the hive but the bees can't get out. So it would be useful if you had too transport a hive, or if you wanted to weed eat around the hive, or if theres a warm day with a cold front coming and you dont want them to break cluster. Hopefully this helps, and keep up the good work! Heres the link to the same ones we have galenafarms.com/products/gf10-mg?variant=41058176172196

    Why not make a cage out of hardware cloth to cover entire hive? Plus grass gives them cover to sneak in. Do you have any owls/hawks in the area to hunt the mice? They might help or barn cats.

    Really cool video. I am a small time beekeeper too. I lost 2 hives over the winter that were still full of honey. That puzzled me. Last year i caught a swarm and put it in an observation hive in my house. Yesterday after posting/bragging on social media about an observation hive a year old....they swarmed! I did catch the swarm but it is a small swarm. I put them in a box with drawn comb and honey stores. I like the idea of wood chips to wick moisture...I will definately be doing that next winter. Thank you for the video. You inspire me to keep going with the gardening and bee keeping. Im 67....not real old...but i wore myself out working hard for 48 years. Looking forward to more content...thanks again!!
