Welcome to our channel! We are a family of 5 currently living in north Florida. Follow us on our journey as we buy land in western North Carolina to start a farm. We are passionate about becoming more sustainable and self sufficient by growing our own food and building our homestead from the resources on our farm by milling our own lumber, using the sun for energy and spring water on our property. We want to accomplish this by organic gardening, permaculture practices, regenerative agriculture and using reclaimed and eco friendly materials as much as possible. We hope to inspire others as we share our knowledge about growing nutrient dense food, cooking delicious meals, and building a farm from the land as we learn together as a family.

A dream come true: How we made maple syrup and planted our orchard

Growing HUGE Butternut Squash, Papaya and Loofah!!
Beautiful
Great job! Can you show how you made the peaked roof? I'd love to do that for my mini chickshaw.
Welcome to the Tarheel state!
Thank you! We love it! :)
Beautiful family
You are so kind, thank you
Hey, building this from the Justin Rhodes plans. I live in New Hampshire and I’m wondering how to insulate it on the bottom for winter.
I would love to give you some advice on this, but it probably wouldn't be the best ;/ We just moved to our homestead in North Carolina from Florida, so we never had to insulate our chicken tractors before. Justin Rhodes live only about 15 minutes from us and I know he puts his chickens in a high tunnel for the winter. I think we will do the same. We just don't have one yet, but planning to build one before it gets too cold. Good luck! We love our tractor and it's still going strong!
@@GreenhavenFarmandHomestead would that be similar to the way Joel salvation does a barn with the rabbits on elevated hutches and the chickens throughout
@@EmergencyHiker yes!
Do you have a link to purchase the wheels😊
Hi Michel, sorry for the slow response. I bought these wheels from Amazon and they have been working great. 20 x 1.75 Flat Free Wheel for Rubbermaid Cart (2-PACK) a.co/d/boIZXqc Good luck.
How many chickens can you put in the mini chick shaw?
I would probably use it for less than 10. We are using it for 6 layers and it has been working and holding up great.
How do you calculate the roof angle???
We just swagged it to an angle we thought would look good. It likely a 6/12 pitch. We hope that helps. Good luck with your build! Please share photo when you are finished :)
Loving it! ❤️
Love the modified Chicshaw! Really great build. I have built many chicken coops and hutches over the years but none that were mobile. Thanks for spending the time to share!
I've been searching for a chicken tractor, I liked Justins but wanted it to look a little better, just like yours, thanks !
Awesome video my bro
Appreciate it
What was your approximate cost? This will obviously vary by location and retailer, but just looking for a ballpark. Thank you!
It’s hard to say because we used a lot of left over materials. But wheels were about $60, bolts for axles, set of hinges, wire and roof panels from Lowes about $300.
"GIMMIE THIS DOWG, HE OR SHE IS SO CUTE, GORGIOUS AND VERY SO 'SMART' AS WELL THERE!" 'NICE ONE GIRLY THERE!?' 'HUH!?'
We have wild Rhododendrons on our property as well and they have the biggest blooms on them in late June. We are on the other end of the Blue Ridge Mtns from you guys in Va
They do have great blooms. We have moved full time yet but hope to be there this summer.
Great video. Thanks for posting. If you are interested on seeing a car get loaded on the Auto Train check out this video: th-cam.com/video/rnlWtCUEgPA/w-d-xo.html
great work
Thank you
I'm about to build one and I will definitely incorporate the pitched roof. Gotta say the craftsmanship in the build is great, little details matters.
Thank you so much, good luck with your build.
A little of both? Mine herds my other two, and much smaller, dogs. They are usually less than impressed 😂
What a lovely family, hope you all had a good vacay, we are going on the train on Sunday, no kids though, but excited for our first train ride in our retirement
Thank you Sara, I hope your experience was as good as ours :)
Amazing doggo
Love your story and your intro video is awesome! Looking forward to following your journey <3
Thank you for following our journey!
hello your son was my son's friend/cabin mate at camp this summer june 19 through the 25th (your kid invited mine to connect here)
Hi Elaine, I will let Erik know. We also have an instagram account under same name that you can private message us and I can share Erik’s phone number with you. Or you can email me at dankinkel@gmail.com and I will share Erik’s info. Thank you for reaching out. I’m sure Erik will be excited to talk with your son.
Do you have plans for this chicken tractor?
I purchased the plans through Justin Rhodes so I can’t share them. But google Justin Rhodes and you should find his website. He has a ton of great information.
Thank you Helena for sharing. I love this recipe.
How many chickens do you put in that size coop
Sorry for our slow response. We usually have 8 without any problems.
Absolutely love this version! Hands down my favorite so far! I am 6’2” so I’ll need a higher handle but love the A frame!
Thanks Philip. Good luck with your build and let me know if you have any questions.
any plans for this? @@GreenhavenFarmandHomestead
Sandwiches from the food truck are outstanding.
I recently took the auto train from DC to Sanford and can say the experience was not as pleasant as your adventure. I booked a roomette, which was comfortable, however dinner at night was not quite as elegant as what you showed on the video. We were given a small subway sub, bag of chips and can of soda. We were told this was all they had available that day after boarding the train. The train also arrived 2 hours late which can be a little irritating especially when you have plans for a certain time. Overall not the most positive experience.
I’m sorry to hear that! Yes sounds like we had totally different experiences.
The Auto Train has traditional dining except during the height of COVID. Strange that you had the misfortune of having that subway meal
what i meant was affordable
oh my god it looks so good and cheap. tell your son i said hi!
Propane heater works great. And maple syrup you can sell it.
Been making this for years. So much cheaper.
HI! Great job. We have our baby chicks and also plan on making a modified version of the Mini Chickshaw, one thing I can't seem to find is where to buy these heavy duty wheels. Do you have a link or suggestion on what brand to purchase? Thanks!
Sorry for the delay on getting back to you. I found these tires on Amazon but they aren’t made for the weight. So I need to find something better. I will try to send you a link tomorrow if I find something. We’ve been at the new farm all week and our signal was too week to check TH-cam.
Hi Kelly, I did a bunch of research today and found a better tire. The tires I purchased only had 150 lb capacity and the ones I found today have a 250 pound capacity. My tires are warping a little so definitely buy the 250lb capacity tire. Good Luck. < sandbox="allow-popups allow-scripts allow-modals allow-forms allow-same-origin" style="width:120px;height:240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=greenhavenfar-20&language=en_US&marketplace=amazon®ion=US&placement=B07GSBW2WY&asins=B07GSBW2WY&linkId=7d88fdc829f29cb15c5206defab09b04&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true"></>
@@GreenhavenFarmandHomestead Thank you!
The 26" wheels are available at Northern Tool. You can order them online and they will ship them to you. I just built the ChickShaw 2.0 and that is where I got my wheels. If you want to build the bigger ChickShaw the link is available on YT. To get access to the build video you need to share the link with someone else and they you can have the video.
@@GreenhavenFarmandHomestead any chance you could update your link for the wheels? This one doesn't seem to be working. Thanks!
Great property! Can't wait to watch the journey
Thank you for watching and for your nice comments.
Looks soo yummy!! [Nice apron too ;) ]
Love the orchard, we are thinking of doing the same thing here!
That looks great....and simple! Thanks for finding my page. Just found your channel and subbed. Thanks and have a great week!
Thanks for the sub! We look forward to following your channel. How long have you been in the states? My wife, Helena, was born in Stockholm but has been here for about 20 years.
@@GreenhavenFarmandHomestead You need to watch my video about the naming of the Old Swede's Farm! I'm half Swede but wasn't born there. I look forward to following your journey! Cheers from Minnesota!
If you don’t shake them up once a day what is a difference in the life span? Thanks 🍎💞
Great question! Honestly I’m not sure. I was taught to shake the jar (especially in the beginning) so that is the only way I have ever done it :) They don’t last long around here as my kids love them for a snack. I also love to chop them up and stir into oatmeal with some cinnamon.
That looks ridiculously good. Now go make French Toast with it, topped real butter and the maple syrup and you’re in business!
Now that is a really good idea!
Y’all blessed! Delicious!
My Mom makes this for everyone for Christmas and I love how simple it is! Great video ☺️
Thank you ☺️
How exciting to make your own Maple Syrup! Great idea with the canning lids on the stove top! 👍
I ordered some vanilla beans on Amazon and they should be here tomorrow! 😊
It’s so easy to make! I will never go back to store bought.

Good morning Barb! Welcome to our channel and thank you for subscribing 😊
Are the laying boxes open to the outside? I didn't see a protective cover and I'm wondering if they would be at risk of predators.
They are open to the outside but the boxes are locked in so a predator wouldn’t be able to pull out the boxes. But it’s easy for us to get the eggs. Thank you for watching.
Great work! I really like the roof. What size wheels did you use?
Thank you for watching. The plans called for 26" wheels but at the time of our build I could only find 24" wheels. I bought the wheels from Amazon, but I'm not really happy with the quality. The wheels have warped a little so I need to find a strong wheel that can handle the weight and my abuse. I provided the link to the wheels I purchased but I recommend trying to find a heaver duty wheel. Good Luck.

My family and I are taking the Auto train to Florida in July and spending two weeks there visiting all the theme parks and family. We are bringing our van with us so we don't have to rent one.
