About:
Jason and Lorraine. In 2016 we sold most of our belongings and left the city in southern California to start a small homestead in the mountains of North Carolina. We left the city in search for a more minimal and intentional life. We became passionate about growing our own food and knowing what exactly is in our food after I (Jason) became diagnosed with cancer. Now 8 years in remission we as a family are on a journey to live our passions.
We document our life on TH-cam videos to inspire others to get out of their comfort zone and not be afraid of change. We started our own online general store where we have available the things we make and use in real life. Thank you for following us on this incredible life changing journey!

**Sua the Land GOOD NIGHT PARABÉNS VÍDEO BLUE SKY CÉU AZUL VERY GOOD**
I miss seeing fireflies. They spray for mosquitoes and I think kill many other things😭
What a beautiful homestead
*Sow the Land BLUE SKY CONGRATULATIONS FAMILY CALIFÓRNIA GOOD AFTERNOON GOD JOB FRIEND*
fireflies are a special evening gift! We were drinking out coffee early one morning...about 5:15 (we just woke up, no reason for that early!) and there were still 1 or 2 blinking around the yard. Just special.
Here’s a very old fruit tree trick to get rid if bugs. Around early October cover the trunks with cardboard so the bugs will lay the eggs there. In November burn the cardboards and repeat the cardboard protection for the cold season. The following summer you will have very few bugs.
Your close up shots of the animals and plants is truly amazing. Enjoy the time with your sweet momma!
Because of the gravity in the rain barrels, you can add a hose and spray nozzle and not walk back and forth with a bucket.... Just saying.
Hi....... Jason and Lorraine I love your video homestead, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🐔🐓🐥🌱🎥👍👍👍
I’d love this life,,,, this is how we all should live....❤️
Awww. So glad your mom was able to come in to visit. Families are so important.
The garden really looks good. Nice with the new wood chips squaring up the garden. Agree with commenter suggestions for hooking a hose andbspray nozzle to the rain barrels to save you steps. Owl is checking out your flock-scary.
I hope you’re mother really enjoys her visit and extra snuggle time with Penelope.
What a Simply Beautiful Homestead Wow stunning.
Jason , this was an absolutely beautiful video , from the apples , garden, your mom, and the owl and to end with a beautiful sky of Gods work , amazing ! 💗
If walking is a priority, you might consider using a garden hose as a pipe connecting multiple water jugs. I mean, wouldn't it be nice to be able to just get the water from all the water jugs using only a single jug? Sure, there will be some water you cannot use, because it's in the garden hoses, but realistically it won't be much, considering you will have multiple jugs to fill.
Also, you could even half-bury the hoses, to not be a tripping hazzard. If you want to use rainwater inside the house (i.e. toilet sink, maybe also shower), you could have a mini water-tower outside the house, harvesting rainwater into a few interconnected barrels. You could even have shaded area for cold water and a mini greenhouse for for the hot/warm water, with tinfoil or metal sheet or even whitewash (or white/bright paint) on the inside of the walls, to reflect more light onto the heated water jugs.
I always throw a small amount of grain at the opposite end f the tractor to distract the birds to the back. Prevents any running out and allowing some walking room. Just a thought, love the channel!
Could you add wheels to your chicken tractor? Placing the wheels on a cam and then adding a lever arm to move the cam wheel into position. It may help your wife move the tractor if you are out of town, on a quick job, or down for whatever reason.
That was a cute statement. We just have to keep chipping away at the garden. and you were unloading wood chips from the truck. Haha
Your videos are always great, but this one was even better than great. In the end of the video, we can see the wonderment and appreciation in you and your wifes eyes and facial expression. That's what it's all about. Great job.
"Farmer farmer put away your DDT. I don't care about spots on my apples leave me the birds and the bees please!" im singing for your family lol
At 9:11 you can see that one of the clouds looks like an angel
You can lay planks down on top of bushes to get to the berries in the back.
Beautiful family atmosphere
I'm impressed, the Garden is looking great petty about the ground hog we don't have them we just have Rat Rabbits and Pigeons and the occasional Cat that digs up and uproots our beens Strange Cat never seen that happen before LOL Have an Blessed week my Friend
The garden looks fantastic. Your chickens look like they're doing really well. Be careful of those owls they will kill chickens. Good job! Jimmy
thanks Jimmy!
Oh my gosh, owls! Wow!
I’m concerned about the standing water in your rain barrel.Standing water equals mosquitoes. Could you put a lid with maybe a funnel on top?
Great video and tips! Thank you for sharing!
It's always nice when family comes to visit.
That was a beautiful shot walking up the hill with the fireflies twinkling hee way to the house! Amazing!! Blessings from NE Missouri.
Looks like cedar rust on the apples. I planted some apple trees 3 years ago and noticed rust as soon as they developed leaves. Yeah be found some fungal spray that prevents it if I spray biweekly during the early spring when buds start growing. Not organic but the leaves are green this year 🤷♂️
Roots and Refuge sent me! I am so, so glad to check out your channel. What a beautiful garden, gorgeous nature, really great tips, and beautiful shots of the animals. I look forward to watching more! Those shirts are really cool too!
Having such a great time here with my family there’s always something new going on and love helping in the garden they are doing a amazing job here in NC proud mama. 🤗👩🏻🌾🌱
I need help mama with my homestead 👀😉
tulsi basil pulled me out of the horrible menopause nausea and sweats by drinking tea, if I became nauseated all I had to do was begin sipping on tulsi tea and it stopped it in its tracks. amazing plants. I consider it a blessing that it comes back every year, from the seeds it scatters, thnx for sharing.
A quick receipt for fresh basil. Cut up tomatoes, mozzarella and fresh basil leaves. Add some salt, 1 tablespoon vinegar and olive oil. Mix it well.
I love the way you all seem to glory in your appreciation of nature- love your channel!
Amazing family home stead I love it
Thanks for sharing your joy!
I really like the “Sow the Land” buckets, taking merch to a hole new level!
Those are Screech owls.I think they are too small to be a threat to your chickens,but they are great for controlling mice and other vermin.
Wonderful 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🥰🥰🥰
Owls are beautiful but predators of chickens. Keep an eye on them. lol
Like the feeders. I couldn't get my chickens to drink from the water nipples. Justin has wood chips delivered! Garden looks Good. Very good vid, I must say "Better than Justins".
In case you have not found it yet, you need a Truck Bed Cargo unloader from harbor freight. its 50$, unloads a full long bed in about 60 seconds, saves your back and joints, you can thank me later.
Y'alls HOMESTEAD IS beautiful
Did your greenhouse bucket overflow? It’s amazing how much rain you can gather. Maybe you could flag the wild berry bushes and move them in the fall so you can pick them easier. Your homestead is beautiful!! Such a precious family! Don’t forget to feed your heavy feeder plants like tomatoes etc every week to two weeks to get the most out of your plants. I had to put it as a reminder on my phone. I bet the owls are checking out your flock.
Hi Gayle from Virginia Jess and Miah from Roots and Refuge suggested your channel ❤️🐝
Thank you for sharing, I always learn something from ya'll.Love the joy of apples growing ❤. Fireflies or lightning bugs as they are called here in Mississippi are fun to watch. God bless.......................Patti
I love how you move your chickens! I've never seen anyone else do that...so I learn new better things watching your videos!! Maybe more ppl will learn too!
Your homestead is so great.. and the garden has grown soo much and it looks so great!! Enjoy it while your mother is there!!
came over from roots an refuse..new sub here.. blessings
That was beautiful. Especially the last minute or so. How fun that your mom is there visiting!
That video is very well put together-there's real talent blossoming in it's filming. Hopefully the young one gets interested in filming, for I'm seeing TH-cam, with its common people teaching common people, as a center-point for teaching the world to pick up the pieces and start again . . . but in a sustainable way for everyone this next time. . ..
Thanks Shiva, I really appreciate you saying that! I am always trying to improve my filming. thanks!
@@SowtheLand You're so welcome, and thank you so much for showing me, showing everyone, there are life-staining ways to live with nature and not against it. Living 'with' nature is one of the reasons why we humans evolved, so my guess is that we should keep doing it, for to do the alternative is to . . . not do anything anymore ever again, everyone everywhere. . ..
Yay apples and berries!! You appear to have Screech owls. They are one of my favorite owls, I love hearing them when I'm out in the woods hunting at dawn and dusk. They sound like a horse neighing in the tree, lol! Do watch your chickens though!
Always enjoy!!
Put lotsa deep woodchips under those fruit trees & watch them get super healthy!
Owls can actually grab small chickens so be on the lookout
Thank you. This video was awesome! It made me smile w/you. It was peaceful & productive & I love watching y'all interact with the animals, each other, the land. You are truly blessed. The owl was precious.
Nice video Jason and Olivia.
Your doing a great job thanks for sharing I love 💕 your videos
Glad your mom was able to visit. That rain barrel was a good idea. Those apples look, appreciate your excitement.
Great job Jason...Don't forget to invite Justin Rhode to your chicken harvest...let see if he comes...bet not...Great channel, keep up the great work.
Thank you for hitting on the rain catchment ideas. So nice to see your apples growing. It's. It seems to be a great year for growing anything & everything. Thank you Lorraine for Holy Basil information. I love the night sky. Mother nature is such a talented artist.
Your farm is really doing well. You've put a lot of hard work into it and it is paying off. That's great!
You have no idea how much you all inspire me! I have a homestead dream and keep praying that it will happen but I just keep hitting roadblocks...someday God will move these mountains that surround me. Keep doing what you do,awesome family! God bless you all,
New to you, thanks to roots and refuge, your place is beautiful.
Thanks for all the great ideas!
As always another great video. Those owls are scoping out your chickens. Be ware.
I bet Penelope is loving grandma visiting.
Use tobacco tea and garlic oil with dish soap in a sprayer for your trees- all organic pesticide for fruit trees
Garden is looking wonderful. You can clearly see which chickens are the most destructive when you move the chicken tractors.
Sorry it took so long to subscribe Jason. Trying to meditate the amount of folks im subscribed to. Learned about you from the Rhodes but really feel like I know you from interaction with Ben and Meg at the Hollars. I'm in NE Georgia about to quit the rat race so not too far and hope to meet you guys someday.
Your garden looks amazing, makes me miss mine, but seeing that little owl was the coolest thing! I look forward to my next garden and implementing what I've learned from y'all. That says a lot because I've been gardening all my life.
SO VERY HAPPY to see you HIT 30,000 SUBSCRIBERS!!!!! I am equally happy to have been a long-time subscriber!!!!!
Thanks Michael! We appreciate it!
So very happy your Mom could come for a visit. Pictures and videos may tractor D things for us to keep, but first hand knowledge is better to me.
Sounds like Six Sigma Lean Manufacturing Jason! Good stuff and it does make a tremendous difference when you evaluate it for the year. That's why I watch you every day!
Thank you!!
You did capture the fireflies! They are twinkling as she walks toward the house. 😁✨✨✨
MCLENDON HOMESTEAD IS a sweet family
Great video as always.
Yay for apples!!!!! Quick question, when you do a rain barrel on the other building if you set it up on a platform like the one on the greenhouse could you hook a water hose up to the spigot and let gravity do the work of getting the water where you need it? I've never worked with a rain barrel myself bu I'd like to so I'm curious what options there are. Good shot of the lady bug and the garden looks awesome!
You probably already know this tip, but my friend uses fixed copper spray on his apple trees when they are dormant and it seems to help to cut down on those spots on the leaves. He'll also sometimes has actually used a hand held hole punch like what you would get at Staples on young trees that are just starting out to punch the brown spots out so they won't spread, but that's a very tedious task I'm sure.
Your garden is looking great! You guys have come a mile in improving your homestead! Great work! Love to watch as you grow :)
Y’all are doing a fantastic job!!
thank you for sharing!
On what you prune off that tomato plant there's chickens will eat that cuz I know they eat on my tomato plants can I grow they eat them things down if you let him get too far with it any banana trees I have here they eat the guts right out of the tree and then eat the whole thing and that's a whole 5-foot tree they did that with the whole group of them just tore to pieces that's why you got to fence off things you want to grow lol
Really liked the cinematography in this one at the end. Thanks!
Wood chip shoveling is hard work
I like your two different tables. I would love a green house. Maybe next year.
Love it you guys!!
That was a great video clip you put up there and it was good to see it and your vegetable garden is looking good there 👍
Beautiful post! Thanks for sharing
I loved this video so much!
Love the shirts. You need to get your mom to move to NC 👍 Glad you getting more rain water to use. It's working great. I love owls, they are so cool
Beautiful sky ending...
Love your family! Hi mom 👋 your garden is doing great! Continued blessings ❤🙏
So nice to see you all content and happy
Every thing is looking beautiful there,that brown on the apple leaves is probably cedar tree rust.I bet you have some cedars near by?
I have no idea. thanks!
interesting, good lesson. Thank you
Best clip for all day, i thank you....
A beautiful video. Very touching.
Berry picking . . . get a few planks (boards) and lay them over the top of the canes to access deeper into the berry patch. Hope that helps!
I LOVE your videos they are so down to earth & honest. Love your building parts as well as this helps us learn. Cheers Denise - Australia
thanks for saying! much love!
You guys have a great homestead
Progress on the homestead!💕
This is just lovely :)
Apples can take time to fruit, and sometimes don't fruit for a couple of years. Especially if they've been pruned hard, or are a older breed.
I'd also remove those leaves that have got the most spots on them.....
I LOVE Holy Basil tea. You've just convinced me to try to grow my own. How many plants will you need to plant for a good supply of tea?
