Introduction to Homesteading in 2023 Episode 1
Very interesting video ❤❤❤
Thanks for your video! I'll check out the others. Great Job. We live in Northern In Calif. Bought 9.9 acres w/a MAJOR fixer upper cabin in Camptonville just a mile off Hwy 49. Off_gird but it has trash service, a phone line and endless water from a spring. 15 min to town- North San Juan. Free spring water means we'll build a pond to stock w/ bass for our future 4 ducks and 20+ hens. Hopefully No Trespassing Signs will ward the county off. We are remodeling ourselves without permits. $1200 a yr/$100 a month prop tax. Within 15 min is an excellent health food store called Mother Truckers, church, active community center with a weekly $10 donation organic meal, gas station/mart, library, & nursery/feed store. Our DIY Solar power for the car & bikes and to power our home half the year. We have the materials yet need to build a greenhouse to grow food. Tons of maple trees to make homemade maple syrup (only have to cook it which is free outside). I work two days a week and he works seasonally so we keep our reportable income low enough in case of any medical emergency. We pay for any medical but anything expensive like an emergency. Medicaid-Medi-cal can be used to back pay up to 3 months which is great. Sorta like having insurance you never signed up for. This area has a good amount of volunteer opportunities too and you can set up shop at the park for just a $20 fee or 10% of your sales. Community Center provides a weekly organic meal so this helps fund it- $10 requested donation. Since it's not a farmers market, no red tape to incur to sell your Maple Syrup, Free Range Eggs, etc. I like having the opportunity to trade too.
Great video! So encouraging 😊
Where in California do you live?
Temecula valley area
It's not homesteading when you live in a 5th wheel.
That would be difficult for sure. But you still can grow some smaller crops like herbs.
Thank you for this video . I almost picked mine to early
Glad I could help
I don't feel comfortable calling anything I do "homesteading", but I sure love gardening and these types of "think-outside-the-box" videos!
I'm 7 years in the military but I'm getting out in a year. All my family is in San Diego so I want to stay in SOCAL. I want to homestead
best of luck brother, dream lifestyle
This is perfect because we live in Michigan and want to move to Cali and have more land.
Most parts of California have very nice year round weather- which lends nicely to gardening.
Maybe if you can afford land, water, and taxes
Great tools advice. Have tried several options in my kune farrowing pens. This is good. Never seen that Rake, will look. Thanks from Croft Rougarou
Where do I homestead in California?
California is abundant in places to homestead. I would start by looking at areas with a climate that you enjoy. You can make a homestead work anywhere in California, just as you can make it work anywhere in the US.
@@InformalFarmerIs there a specific area of California that most homesteaders head to? I want an area that doesn't have a lot of laws/rules telling me what I can and can't do on my land. I'd also like to have some pine trees and be able to shoot (maybe a shooting range) without bothering anyone.
I'm looking to homestead around Nevada City, in the pines with a greenhousre.
@@lindahernandez7768the best with growing some herbs lol
Great Info!
Wow staking a tomato plant. Ingenious.
Thank you so much for your advice and tips.🌾🍅🌿🥝 🤔💛
The vlogging was both informative and entertaining.🌱🍎😊💕
Watering without covering is wasting the water.
Your channel came up on my feed. Nice trellis work. I used a similar size for trellising as well. Thanks for sharing. New garden friend here.😊🌱
Thank you!
I had grubs eat the roots of my vegetables.
I am going to have to keep an eye on that. My chickens will love the feast as I work harder to rid them of my garden!
Zwykłe schabowe.
Dokładnie Exactly! They are pork chops!
THIS IS SO COOL!
Thank you!!
That's a great video! Looks like a well put together farm you have. Congratulations!
Thank you! We have been working hard on this property for 2.5 years.
Make sure you get rabies shots for your cats [and dogs].
Thanks for reminding everyone! Rabies vaccines are required for registering cats and dogs in my county
Really cute!! They love you!!
