Thank you so much! It's really important to share both the good and the bad so that others can learn from our experiences and encourage others.

Thank you! I’m happy to have you here 😊

While brushes can help remove shedding wool, I prefer not to use them. They can bunch the wool, leave uneven spots, and my rabbits aren't particularly fond of being brushed.

wool given species: Alpaca, Angora rabbits, cashmere goats, sheep(various types), Llama, lambs, Arctic muskox, Camel.

I wish i found out this way instead of the factory farming way. That was also the day i learnt that rabbits can scream.

Omg I really thought I commented this on another video of yours but still would love to know

@@biancabiancardi9843the fuck you on about?

We raise three different breeds of rabbits: Angoras, Flemish Giants, and New Zealands. Our Angoras are exclusively for wool, while we raise Flemish and New Zealands for meat. What’s your question?

I use a variety of dog grooming brushes but the wool will get bunched up on the brush. I prefer plucking for fiber quality.

Thank you! I’m so glad it was helpful.

That’s a feat! I love cooking and meal prepping, but I still love to have a meal I didn’t prepare. Sometimes my partner cooks, sometimes we enjoy a meal with family, sometimes we enjoy a meal out.

Sadly, with the rising cost of groceries, it costs about the same eatingbout vs eating in when making similar meals. I still make most of my own food for reasons but it's so expensive. I wish I had land or space to homestead

@@ImARealCatI’m not sure where you live, but we’re I live I find that to be untrue. Average fast food meal here is $15, for $15 at the grocery store I can feed our family of 3 a meal and probably have leftovers.

Yes it does! Stocking the pantry can be challenging but shopping sales, discount grocery stores and buying in bulk help a lot.

@Yarnandthyme I live in a super expensive city. And I meant like a one to one comparison. For example, if I buy chow mein vs. make it myself, it costs about the same. But of course shopping sales and making cheap meals at home saves money!

Yep, so many things you can regrow to produce more food or even seed!

Need to clarify that this is a generalization!! Obviously there are those who can do this and power to them!! But a majority of the population live in metropolitan areas and have a higher cost of living to those out in more rural regions or areas so I’d love to hear from any urban homesteaders who achieved this lifestyle effectively without breaking their bank!! :D

The comparison is poor people who cook vs wealthy folks who don’t cook. I agree, it’s hard to afford good ingredients and have time if you’re poor. Our society also pushes the ideals of “you don’t need to cook, buy this ready made meal” which is because of capitalism and exploitation. Lots of problems that need addressed and solved in our society with food, health, and how it correlates to class , but this video is to encourage others to try to cook more.

​@@WimBim24from what I've seen living in America after moving from my home country alot of people over here don't know how to cook food from scratch. That leads to people buying the unhealthy pre made food. But if you shop smart and cook for yourself its always cheaper and healthy even if you're buying cheap ingredients. My family has 6 people in it and our grocery bill for the month comes up to about $600 in nyc.

You’re awesome!!

Well, sounds like our ideas of the mundane are different. We enjoy a wide variety of foods thanks to growing and foraging. Many “gourmet” ingredients are easy to forage and grow. Eating seasonally is fun, but knowing how to preserve harvests to last all year is also fun. So far, we’ve been able to grow, forage, and hunt 50% of our groceries last year and we’re increasing that this year.

Actually harvested way too late. The plants were dying back and all the big potatoes had been bug ate. So we get new potatoes. No big deal.

Awesome! Can’t beat fresh tomatoes

That’s awesome! Any extras I end up with I always give out to friends, family, and neighbors.

@@Yarnandthyme when friends and family have enough, it time to set a table by the road.

Trial and error are chances to learn!

Definitely not any regrets. This is how I’ve been able to feed my family fresh produce and supplementing our groceries the past 3 years.

Sounds like you did great! A break well deserved

Juice, sauce, tomatoes in any dish, chilli, on cottage cheese, macaroni, spaghetti the use is almost endless.

Depends on what I’m making! I made pasta sauce, bruschetta in a jar, pickled tomatoes, and stewed tomatoes. I can share my pasta sauce video soon if you’re interested

They're both pretty. French black tailed maran and an olive egger.

Truly is 🩵

I don’t understand what you’re referring to

Hydroponics is awesome. I prefer to traditional gardening, but I have a couple small hydroponic systems for winter!

@@Yarnandthyme I agree, it's incredibly fulfilling to do regular garden work! A healthy mix is definitely the way to go, it really depends on the size of the house and the garden I'd say. A real dream would be a nice big garden to practice regenerative farming, and a whole room dedicated to growing plants inside as well. I don't know if you've heard of the kratky method, but it's worth a shot if you don't like the whole hassle that setting up a hydroponics system can be

Thank YOU for your kind words! I hope you get to live your dreams soon, keep following them and don’t give up. 🩵

And the physics of canning. Science is magical.

Definitely! We’re still mostly eating last year’s abundance.

Thanks!

I want to clarify that my intention isn't to criticize tradwives. I genuinely admire some of them for their content and the seemingly happy, healthy relationships they have. I’m a stay at home parent and feminine person who homesteads, so there’s some overlap there. However, that vibe isn't for me; I don't resonate with the tradwife aesthetic or lifestyle. ✌🏻
