Seeing the boys help take care of their sister and giving hugs/kisses just warms my heart. Those boys are getting the life lessons they need to become fine young men. You must be so proud!
I 'know!' Their eyes don't miss a trick. There's going to be a gaggle of grateful wives one day...at least I hope they will be. These lads deserve the best! : )
Probably my favorite video of yours. This says many things...family, teamwork, love, knowledge, etc. That baby backpack has got to be the smartest thing for any parent of a newborn! Love how the entire family got in on the shucking...making sweet memories while making sweet corn, lol. Buggy watching her bobbas...loved that. You know the old saying..."a woman's work is never done", is so true! That bundt pan idea was fantastic! You guys rock!
I spent 3 days and got my Yukon Gold potatoes harvested....waiting til next week to start pressure canning and dehydrating them. Freezing apples for pie filling today. In 10 days it will be time to harvest the Katahdin potatoes. I will squeeze in time somewhere to finish up the tomatoes. yes, it is a lot of work, esp. for a 72 yr. old, but SOOO nice to have our own food all year long and not have to drive to the grocery and pay the exorbitant prices for food that is not as healthy. You are teaching your young children the RIGHT way to do things. Keep up the great work. God Bless. And HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUGGIE
Happy Birthday, Buggy! I can’t believe she’s a year old. She is a precious little girl. I can tell she’s got the boys wrapped around her little fingers. So cute watching them with her. Y’all stay safe and healthy. Blessings, Love & Hugs from Vicki in Ft. Worth, Texas 🇺🇸👍❤️🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@bethany493 - Where is your family from? My husband’s family was from Poland & settled in Ft. Worth. Immigration changed their name to Bogart. It was Bogaslavski (not sure of spelling).
I'm not sure if you've thought about this, it just popped into my brain watching Meg. Your "farm house" down the hill. I know Meg uses it for her soap "stuff". But maybe with a little work, not sure how sturdy the roof is, it can become a giant food processing plant. Lol. Meg is working so hard, but it might be a little easier if she had more room. Long counters around the walls, and one big one down the center of the room. Two or three cooktops to have more than one canning pot going at one time. Three dehydrators so less time waiting between batches. And the putting up food would be faster. And Then, you could even invite friends to use your processing kitchen for their canning. In my "vision" two or three family's helping with all the kitchen work, so one person isn't slicing 30lbs a tomatoes by themselves, because there's no more counter space or cook pots. Lol, just a vision...kind of like the giant kitchen in the show Downton Abbey. It would be better than Meg would've had it 200yrd ago. An outdoor processing kitchen would barely be four posts and a roof. Maybe a wall on the windward side, lol. Especially in hot and muggy North Carolina at summers end.
She doesn't do her soaps down there as they lost power (the power pole went down) and the power company told them they would have to pay for a new pole etc. So no power to the farm house.
@@SagebrushRambles OH? I missed that some how. Power poles are expensive. But they cook with propane anyway. And a generator can provide light. Might be time to look into solar power. Even if it's just for out buildings.
🙋🏼♀️🕊. With the little ladybug 🐞 coming last year , and trying to get used to the land , sometimes you have to balance what you have. They will get to the house when it falls into place, The Team will get to it, You all are just making it work ,blessings 💐
Don't throw away the corn leaves and the hairs, in Korea we turn those into tea and drink them, it's known to keep your gums healthy, it's really good, you boil them with water, take the leaves and hairs out and keep it in refrigerator and I usually drink it cold but old people drink them room temp or hot.
It’s know to be good for people who’s on a diet as well benefits, I left a you tube video, you don’t need to understand the language to know what their doing.
🎂Happy Birthday Buggie😘🤩 It is amaizing how time flies. Soon you have to watch her every move when she takes off in her new found freedom, walking. I have got tired just to watch you Meg processing all that food. You are a GEM. Also most of the time carry Buggie on your back as you work. Just be careful not to do damage to your back. Love you guys. See you soon.
DID YOU KNOW that after cutting the corn off the cob, you can take the "back" of your knife and scrape down on the cob and remove some wonder juice along with small pieces of corn. This adds LOTS of flavor to your canned corn. Love watching you!
It says August 16th but it was released on September 2nd? Happy Birthday Lillianne! (sp?) She is sooooo cute. Wow, nice job of using the chickens backs to make broth and meat! Elderberries too! And dehydrating peppers! Amazing how much you guys do in food preservation! Really cool to watch. Wow, that's a lot of corn! Yay, pigs will love the husks and the cobs. I cut the kernels off and bag them and put that in the freezer. It's so nice to have sweet corn for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter! I've never frozen a whole cob. I blanch it and cut it off the cob just like you did. Cool, purple potato pasta. Beautiful jars of corn. I love that pop sound too. That is one huge pot full of cut tomatoes! Thanks for this guys!
FYI: lady on 1870 homestead uses a turkey roaster to prepare some of her garden harvest for canning. Sets it on low and cooks vegetables overnight to get a head start for.the next day. Blends zucchini with almost every veggie in her garden. Apparently, zucchini is easy to absorb flavor of other produce and spices. She has afood processor attachment for her Kitchen Aid mixer which she uses to grind up the zuccini.
I’ve been canning my butt off. 😁😄. Raining here today too SO HARD and STEADY there’s a small lake by my chicken coop door 😧. HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRL. ♥️💞. WOW- where’d the year go 😯. She’s so gorgeous 😊. I could stare at her eyes forever 😊😊 So..... start now and she’ll have an of age playmate by the time she’s two 😃😄👍
Dear Meg and Ben, You did such an awesome job on your house. You are like living in a palace, and Meg, in your videos when you first started youtube, I just loved listening to you explaining your life in ways I could understand. I've loved watching your videos over 3 years now, all of you could be my grandkids. Corbin and Buggy really look like twins, 8 years apart. I miss your videos. Love from Fort Myers!
@@toothaching the taco soup is (for a small pot) 1 lb ground meat of your choice seasoned for tacos, 1 medium onion, 1/2 cup of black beans and red beans, and 1 cup pinto beans 8 oz of corn and 1 packet of ranch dip seasoning, 1 - 2 quarts of diced tomatoes, one can of rotel if you like the spice. I scale it up by 10 or so and it's super forgiving. The chicken pot pie is chicken roasted, taken off the carcass, and diced 2 cups diced carrots, 2 cups peas, I make broth from the carcass with parsley, rosemary, thyme, etc and use that with a bit of cornstarch slurry to make a gravy. But for canning I omit the cornstarch until I'm ready to make it for dinner. It makes good soup when thin, and thickens easily once heated in a pot. Just follow the meat canning guidelines for the size of jar. Oh and dont use sage as a seasoning it turns the flavors off when canned.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUGGIE!!!!!! I have so much enjoyed seeing you grow little princess! Thank you all for your videos. Have a Blessed Week **HUGS & PRAYERS** from Kelly and the critters at Piney Haven Homestead.
I love watching your wife put food away! She has skills! And I love hearing the stories of how she learned doing things growing up. So precious. ❤️ Thanks for sharing!
Evening Beautiful HH Family 👋. Happy Birthday Beautiful Lily Bug🎂🍨🌻. Y'all are blessed with a beautiful family. Thanks for sharing another great video. And for reminding me of those special canning memories with family. Proud of y'all for keeping it real. Hoping y'all didn't get any damage from the storms. Stay safe beautiful people. God Bless y'all and the homestead 🙏✌❤😊
The work ethic of both of you is amazing. Your skills also assure that your homestead will be successful and no one needs to advise you unless you ask. Thank you for the inspiration.
So awesome! Just can't believe Bugge is a year old, seems like last week. Congrats, to the lucky little girl who has such a lot of handsome big brothers and two awesome parents. God bless you all. I can remember when the chicken walked thru the backdoor and into the house in Cali.........LOL Long ago and far away it seems now. God bless for this new season of life for all of you!
Hey 👋 Wild Alaskan Homestead here… Don’t forget to keep the corn 🌽 silks.. Corn silk is used for bladder infections, inflammation of the urinary system, inflammation of the prostate, kidney stones, and bedwetting. It is also used to treat congestive heart failure, diabetes, high blood pressure, fatigue, and high cholesterol levels.
Meg and Ben, my last year of high school ended in May of 1963, but thereafter, in Arkansas where we lived, the vegetables would soon be coming. The strawberries would come off first -- in late May and June. My grandpa had LOTS of strawberries which we all helped pick and he sold the majority of them. But, there were always more than we could possibly process and freeze, etc. My mom always made lots of jelly and preserves. When the corn, green beans, okra and tomatoes came off, we made (and canned vegetable soup. I'll never forget mixing up the soup starter fixings -- my youngest sister stirred the vegetables together in a #3 Washtub (new and well scalded), and then mom would stay up all night making sure the jars of vegetable soup were processed in the pressure canner. We did something similar about 30 years ago, but I'm past the age now that I am able to do all that stuff. I wish I were able to do that stuff, but I'm not. We're in the midst of trying to get our roof replaced now and it's a real pain in the neck! We always cut our corn off the cobs similar to what you were doing, but we didn't even have a Bundt pan back then! LOL!
We used to get corn, in the shucks.. by the long bed pickup bed load (like 1970's, 8 foot pickup bed). and have two grandmothers, uncle, cousins, mom, dad, sibling.. and a full weekend of shucking, silking, cutting, canning..
It is extremely refreshing to see your family doing something as simple yet Hardwork no doubt about it, as canning and gardening and preserving eat up for the winters call me together, with such a happy joyful attitude!! No fighting no fussing no grumbling from the kids just an understanding that we’re a team and a job needs done and we’re all going to do it together and we’re all going to benefit from OUR ACCOMPLISHMENT!! I am I say “Mommy,@ “ you are the best multitasker I’ve ever seen for sure❣️ The amount of tomatoes that you cut up for canning, I think you said 29 pounds who is so refreshing to see, as it’s been years since my mother canned tomatoes!! IA loved watching the juice and the seeds fall over her hands and she put them into the canisters fresh, waiting for them to boil for canning in the jars. You work so fast and without any distractions it appears although, you clearly interact with your children and husband, but I think you are the most accomplishing woman in multitasking I have ever seen❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈 You were always doing four and five different things at the same time and I honestly don’t know anyone who is not really doing that number of items but the quantity that you were working with. I was from a family of 12 children and how much time you could hold a pan of peas to remove the stem and open the pod and push those little peas out into another bowl, you were involved in canning…After that it was tipping beans which seem to long progression before the next phase. Regardless, I don’t ever remember as larger production is what I see you doing, and I’m sure it had to be because of the size of our family plus we help feed my cousins family as my uncle was often ill and unable to work. Mom must’ve been doing it somewhere else with Grandma, especially as we purchased a different farm when I turned 10 and that was the tiniest kitchen and you have three times the size my mother had until our new home was built which wasn’t for another 10 years completed. Anyway I just want to acknowledge your amazing accomplishments and talent and just say that as a woman who grew up doing that and still does some of that, I greatly admire you😊❣️❣️I also admire the camaraderie between your husband and yourself as you work together with your children that is NOT an easy interest to develop in your relationship, & yet, the Both of you seem to command a mutual respect for each other as you worked in the kitchen not only in how are you talk to each other and the children, but working as a team and helping one another to complete task. It’s refreshing to see when so much of the world is focused on everything but what your family is doing. I hope people are watching and taking this all in so that they may establish new ways of doing things in their home even if they should just start with one Blessing at a time, they see from your videos. It is truly a remarkable gift of love and joyful respect for what God has blessed your farm with as well as each other❣️❣️
Just serms yesterday we were watchimg you guys just tryimg to finish the house so bug eould have a house God bless be blessed Celebrate Bugy as a blessing think how far you come.
Happy born on day little one. Time for an outdoor kitchen. I can outside on the patio with propane burners, keeps the heat and humidity outside. I just finished peach preserves, its amazing how much one tree can produce. God Bless.
Happy Birthday Buggy! Time flies, doesn't it? It was great seeing the whole family pitching in to help in the preserving process! You are so right, about enjoying the fruits of summer in the middle of winter.
Good seeing Meg in the vlog for more than a few minutes. We miss her. The baby is so cute and loved watching her do the corn shucking with you all. Happy Harvesting.
I'm in the Philly area, we just had that storm blow through. It picked up some moisture because we got around 11 inches of rain. Reports in the area were between 9 and 13 inches. Major flooding in some areas. I made sure to pick any even slightly pink tomatoes so they wont burst.
Wow, the corn looks so good. When it’s out cheap in the supermarket, I cut it off the cob like you did and freeze the kernels. So much better than canned!
Happy birthday sweet well loved baby girl!❤😉 My grandson just turn 1 as well. I Remember celebrating both births last year. Thanks for letting us hang out with you. Glad to see y'all putting back some great food for the winter. Love the teamwork. Love and prayers ❤🙏
I could never cut corn like that. I hold it in my left hand and cut with a butcher knife, cutting toward my belly, my mom taught me, then after you cut the kernels you scrape each row, that makes your corn creamier. Later my husband bought me a corn cutting board, but I could cut an ear faster with a knife and didn’t get so tired. I love watching you young girls preserve food. I’m a 74 year old widow that doesn’t need to anymore. 🙏❤️❤️❤️🕊😀
Happy birthday Buggy! With all your canning and getting ready for winter I don't know how you were able to get two batches of soap out for ordering! Wow! Kudos to you and the family. ❤
Uploaded five minutes ago! Wow. I've never been this early. Now to watch, lol. ~ Done! ~ Dang, I love you guys. My mom was raised on a farm, grew up to be a choir director and dress shop manager. Somehow, she still managed to bring a bit of farm life to our home, including canning or even just blanching vegetables for freezing. Your family brings back so many memories and helps me appreciate my mom's efforts much more. Happy Birthday to your little Bug Bite! She's adorable on the floor, playing with her own ear of corn at one point. And Ben, I love it when you show up in the videos with your hair down! Please don't ever cut it short.
Wait a minute! Your princess is referred to as Buggy so often, i have forgotten her name!!! Refresh our memories. We love all y'all at Holler Homestead.
Use an electric knife for cutting the corn off the cob it makes the job way quicker and easier! Don't break all of the stalk off when shucking, that way you can use it as a handle to hold the corn while cutting.
I love it that the whole family is pitching in! Nothing is wasted-even the pigs get a little snack. Happy Birthday Buggy! Hard to believe it’s been a year. She is such a good baby. 🌷
@@deborahcrutchfield5022 I'm in Western NC...summer gardens are almost gone. I've planted peas, carrots, spinach, two kinds of lettuce, kale and am getting ready to plant broccoli, onions, and garlic. Here, we would not have time for zucchini, squash or green beans to be productive....on to fall garden!
Buggy yelling at her bubbas. 😍 She and G are two peas in a pod. Squealing little Chickies who just love being snuggled, walking the garden, and being with their peeps. 💜
You guys work very hard on your home stead, looking at the harvest makes me very happy for you and grateful to the Lord for every grain that he blessed with a bountiful increase. Love you.
I just love you guys! Makes me want to be right there in the middle of all that work lol I’m getting ready to can up some pinto beans, I love having them on hand, so quick to heat.
Ben you are a lucky man. A beautiful family and a beautiful wife who not only loves to cook and provide for her family but enjoys it! Happy Birthday Buggy! peace, y'all
Happy Birthday, Buggy xox Home grown corn this winter is gonna rock. You guys are awesome. Love the homestead way of life. You all rock xx Keep up the good work. Many blessings to you and your family.
Happy Birthday Buggy!!! Meg, girl you're the canning, and dehydrating queen!!! You just go, go, go!!! I'm going to call you the Energizer Bunny 😉 Nice looking corn you picked up! I picked up sweet corn from our neighbor, and ended up freezing it. We still need a stove I can do canning on. This flat glass top just doesn't work well with the large pressure canner. This year everything was frozen or canned to make thing easier. Next year, will be buying a different stove. Received my order of the soap you made, and we all love the bars. Ben, like the long hair dude!!!
Little Buggy, just one year old and you have every male running after you and doing your bidding. 😆 Lots of good and useful work needing done indoors so let it 🌧.
Ya'll are being smart with the food inflation and the lack of food on the store shelves. I've been putting up food like crazy too. Buggy is so stinking cute! Those eyes! I love Jessica's August Challenge! Enjoyed all of the canning!
So good to watch your family working together to get the winters food ready. Happy Birthday baby girl, you are growing like a weed. I wish you all the best of the harvest and have a Blessed day.

Happy Birthday, Buggy! I can’t believe she’s a year old. She is a precious little girl. I can tell she’s got the boys wrapped around her little fingers. So cute watching them with her. Y’all stay safe and healthy.
Blessings, Love & Hugs from Vicki in Ft. Worth, Texas 🇺🇸👍❤️🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I noticed her brothers have assigned her Royal Princess status. And she insists on being right in the mix with everyone. So cute.
I’m a Bogart too!
@@bethany493 - Where is your family from? My husband’s family was from Poland & settled in Ft. Worth. Immigration changed their name to Bogart. It was Bogaslavski (not sure of spelling).
dried tomatoes, either bits or powder.. in your bread when making the dough. "Sun dried tomato bread".
That sounds fantastic, I'll definitely give that a try.!Thanks for the tip!
Dried tomatoes are my favourite stored in olive oil with basil and garlic. Taste amazing on top of a toast with a good cooked ham deli meat.
also in homemade tortillas, and as part of popcorn seasoning. I love my dehydrated tomato powder!
Yes...this is great sprinkled on focaccia with basil and Parmesan cheese just before baking!!
Watching Bug with her brothers🥰 that little girl is so loved. Happy Birthday Beautiful! 🎂
The words "Let's Pray" fill my heart with joy
You guys make me realize we still have good in this world. Happy Birthday bug

You did such an awesome job on your house. You are like living in a palace, and Meg, in your videos when you first started youtube, I just loved listening to you explaining your life in ways I could understand. I've loved watching your videos over 3 years now, all of you could be my grandkids. Corbin and Buggy really look like twins, 8 years apart.
I miss your videos. Love from Fort Myers!
Happy B-Day lil lady
This is the first video of the Holler Homestead that I've watched and will not be the last. Beautiful family.
Glad you stopped by, go to their home page and watch their previous VLOGs, they have an interesting journey from suburban residents to homesteaders.
When store shelves are empty you’ll be so glad you did this!
When? My stores are mostly empty right now. Sheesh. But yes, I hear you.
So true the store shelves can be empty in a day depending on the next scamdemic the worlds governments want to pull on the people
I love that you pray before you eat
Little Buggie, you are a spittin image of your daddy. Happy Birthday sweet angel. 🎁🎂🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈
Happy Birthday 🎉 Sweet Baby Girl 🥇
Her birthday already 🤦🏼♀️ how fast has time gone. Happy birthday Bug 🥳🎂🧃🍫🍭🍩
When you said it was baby girls birthday I couldn't believe she was turning 1. So Happy Birthday
Wow! I can’t believe she’s a year old either! Happy birthday little one!
This must be the canning day, let alone the season. I made 34 quarts of taco soup, again, and 12 pints of chicken pot pie filling
wow! do you have favorite recipes that could be shared?
@@toothaching the taco soup is (for a small pot) 1 lb ground meat of your choice seasoned for tacos, 1 medium onion, 1/2 cup of black beans and red beans, and 1 cup pinto beans 8 oz of corn and 1 packet of ranch dip seasoning, 1 - 2 quarts of diced tomatoes, one can of rotel if you like the spice. I scale it up by 10 or so and it's super forgiving.

Just follow the meat canning guidelines for the size of jar. Oh and dont use sage as a seasoning it turns the flavors off when canned.
ITs canning season Indeed. Today I finished a batch of pizza sauce and sundries tomatoes. So worth!
Cheers!

It is also used to treat congestive heart failure, diabetes, high blood pressure, fatigue, and high cholesterol levels.
Does one eat the silks raw?
Happy Birthday Buggy!!!
Meg and Ben, my last year of high school ended in May of 1963, but thereafter, in Arkansas where we lived, the vegetables would soon be coming. The strawberries would come off first -- in late May and June. My grandpa had LOTS of strawberries which we all helped pick and he sold the majority of them. But, there were always more than we could possibly process and freeze, etc. My mom always made lots of jelly and preserves. When the corn, green beans, okra and tomatoes came off, we made (and canned vegetable soup. I'll never forget mixing up the soup starter fixings -- my youngest sister stirred the vegetables together in a #3 Washtub (new and well scalded), and then mom would stay up all night making sure the jars of vegetable soup were processed in the pressure canner. We did something similar about 30 years ago, but I'm past the age now that I am able to do all that stuff. I wish I were able to do that stuff, but I'm not. We're in the midst of trying to get our roof replaced now and it's a real pain in the neck! We always cut our corn off the cobs similar to what you were doing, but we didn't even have a Bundt pan back then! LOL!
Happy birthday buggy, what a cutie
Happy #1 Birthday to your little Buggy.
Love seeing all the preserving
We used to get corn, in the shucks.. by the long bed pickup bed load (like 1970's, 8 foot pickup bed). and have two grandmothers, uncle, cousins, mom, dad, sibling.. and a full weekend of shucking, silking, cutting, canning..
It is extremely refreshing to see your family doing something as simple yet Hardwork no doubt about it, as canning and gardening and preserving eat up for the winters call me together, with such a happy joyful attitude!! No fighting no fussing no grumbling from the kids just an understanding that we’re a team and a job needs done and we’re all going to do it together and we’re all going to benefit from OUR ACCOMPLISHMENT!! I am I say “Mommy,@ “ you are the best multitasker I’ve ever seen for sure❣️
The amount of tomatoes that you cut up for canning, I think you said 29 pounds who is so refreshing to see, as it’s been years since my mother canned tomatoes!! IA loved watching the juice and the seeds fall over her hands and she put them into the canisters fresh, waiting for them to boil for canning in the jars. You work so fast and without any distractions it appears although, you clearly interact with your children and husband, but I think you are the most accomplishing woman in multitasking I have ever seen❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
You were always doing four and five different things at the same time and I honestly don’t know anyone who is not really doing that number of items but the quantity that you were working with.
I was from a family of 12 children and how much time you could hold a pan of peas to remove the stem and open the pod and push those little peas out into another bowl, you were involved in canning…After that it was tipping beans which seem to long progression before the next phase. Regardless, I don’t ever remember as larger production is what I see you doing, and I’m sure it had to be because of the size of our family plus we help feed my cousins family as my uncle was often ill and unable to work. Mom must’ve been doing it somewhere else with Grandma, especially as we purchased a different farm when I turned 10 and that was the tiniest kitchen and you have three times the size my mother had until our new home was built which wasn’t for another 10 years completed. Anyway I just want to acknowledge your amazing accomplishments and talent and just say that as a woman who grew up doing that and still does some of that, I greatly admire you😊❣️❣️I also admire the camaraderie between your husband and yourself as you work together with your children that is NOT an easy interest to develop in your relationship, & yet, the Both of you seem to command a mutual respect for each other as you worked in the kitchen not only in how are you talk to each other and the children, but working as a team and helping one another to complete task. It’s refreshing to see when so much of the world is focused on everything but what your family is doing. I hope people are watching and taking this all in so that they may establish new ways of doing things in their home even if they should just start with one Blessing at a time, they see from your videos. It is truly a remarkable gift of love and joyful respect for what God has blessed your farm with as well as each other❣️❣️

Happy born on day little one.
Time for an outdoor kitchen. I can outside on the patio with propane burners, keeps the heat and humidity outside. I just finished peach preserves, its amazing how much one tree can produce. God Bless.
Loved this one. Felt like 20 minutes of pure HOME 🥰
Happy 1st Birthday, Buggy! I loved watching Meg “squirrel” away food. Looks like a lot of work but I’m sure the rewards are worth it! 🥰
Hello beautiful how you doing
You are one hard working woman. I so admire you!
There is no way she's already one!!! So adorable!😍
Happy Birthday Buggy! Time flies, doesn't it? It was great seeing the whole family pitching in to help in the preserving process! You are so right, about enjoying the fruits of summer in the middle of winter.
Lil Bug's BIRTHDAY?! OMHeavens, how did that happen, for reals?! As adorable as all get-out! Happy Birthday, Sweetums!!🍧🍨🎂🧁🎈🎉🎊🎀🎁
Happy Birthday Little Bug. You are adorable. Blessings to you.
I grab all the Berry's and fruit in summer and freeze them. Then this winter when the house is cold warm it up making jelly.

Happy birthday bug may God bless your household
Meg is holding a sleeping baby and processing a ton of corn! She is a trooper for sure!!!
Happy Birthday, little girl!
You have been so busy putting up vegetables etc! Everything looks sooo good!
Good seeing Meg in the vlog for more than a few minutes. We miss her. The baby is so cute and loved watching her do the corn shucking with you all. Happy Harvesting.
Happy Birthday Buggy!
I can’t believe she’s already a year old, so active and verbal. I love to watch you guys putting up the food.
Hello beautiful how you doing
Very blessed to have food to put away and teaching your kids all the things. I did that most of my life and I miss it.
I'm in the Philly area, we just had that storm blow through. It picked up some moisture because we got around 11 inches of rain. Reports in the area were between 9 and 13 inches. Major flooding in some areas. I made sure to pick any even slightly pink tomatoes so they wont burst.
Hello beautiful how you doing
All that food will make the winter 10 times better with all those wonderful flavors. You are a work- aholic.
Wow, the corn looks so good. When it’s out cheap in the supermarket, I cut it off the cob like you did and freeze the kernels. So much better than canned!
Happy birthday sweet well loved baby girl!❤😉 My grandson just turn 1 as well. I Remember celebrating both births last year. Thanks for letting us hang out with you. Glad to see y'all putting back some great food for the winter. Love the teamwork. Love and prayers ❤🙏
Elderberries Soo awesome 🤩
I could never cut corn like that. I hold it in my left hand and cut with a butcher knife, cutting toward my belly, my mom taught me, then after you cut the kernels you scrape each row, that makes your corn creamier. Later my husband bought me a corn cutting board, but I could cut an ear faster with a knife and didn’t get so tired. I love watching you young girls preserve food. I’m a 74 year old widow that doesn’t need to anymore. 🙏❤️❤️❤️🕊😀
The baby is growing up so fast I sure have enjoyed watching y’all put up your food it looks like fun with a loving family
Hello beautiful how you doing
Many happy returns of the day to the young lady of the Hollar homestead! 🎂🥳🌷
Happy birthday Buggy!
With all your canning and getting ready for winter I don't know how you were able to get two batches of soap out for ordering! Wow! Kudos to you and the family. ❤
Always a good day when a new video from Hollar Homestead drops. Happy Birthday Miss Lillyanna
Uploaded five minutes ago! Wow. I've never been this early. Now to watch, lol. ~ Done!
~ Dang, I love you guys. My mom was raised on a farm, grew up to be a choir director and dress shop manager. Somehow, she still managed to bring a bit of farm life to our home, including canning or even just blanching vegetables for freezing. Your family brings back so many memories and helps me appreciate my mom's efforts much more. Happy Birthday to your little Bug Bite! She's adorable on the floor, playing with her own ear of corn at one point. And Ben, I love it when you show up in the videos with your hair down! Please don't ever cut it short.
Wait a minute! Your princess is referred to as Buggy so often, i have forgotten her name!!! Refresh our memories. We love all y'all at Holler Homestead.
Lillyanna
Thanks. She sure is a sweetie!
Use an electric knife for cutting the corn off the cob it makes the job way quicker and easier! Don't break all of the stalk off when shucking, that way you can use it as a handle to hold the corn while cutting.
I miss canning with my dad,love watching this beautiful family putting food away for the winter
I love it that the whole family is pitching in! Nothing is wasted-even the pigs get a little snack. Happy Birthday Buggy! Hard to believe it’s been a year. She is such a good baby. 🌷
With a houseful of growing kids. The stored food will be awesome! I love squirreling away food too!
Start a fall garden: peas, carrots, broccoli, kale, spinach, lettuce, turnips, and I think you may have time to do some beets.
Where do you live . I replanted some zucchini, squash and green beans. Waiting to the end of the month to plant greens. We are in West Tennessee
@@deborahcrutchfield5022 I'm in Western NC...summer gardens are almost gone. I've planted peas, carrots, spinach, two kinds of lettuce, kale and am getting ready to plant broccoli, onions, and garlic. Here, we would not have time for zucchini, squash or green beans to be productive....on to fall garden!
@@deborahcrutchfield5022 FFCC ga Ed
Wow That’s Wonderful
Omigosh baby bug is right in there helping. So adorable!
I feel better. Not putting up nearly that much, especially in one day. You are providing well for your family and happy bday, Buggy!
Buggy yelling at her bubbas. 😍 She and G are two peas in a pod. Squealing little Chickies who just love being snuggled, walking the garden, and being with their peeps. 💜
We need to get them together! I bet they would love each other. 🥰
Everyone's garden harvests has pulled me through our winter. When my busy season starts, yours is ending. Thanks for all the canning inspo
You guys work very hard on your home stead, looking at the harvest makes me very happy for you and grateful to the Lord for every grain that he blessed with a bountiful increase. Love you.
Always love your videos Happy birthday beautiful little buggy can't believe it has been a yr. Blessings to all of you
I just love you guys! Makes me want to be right there in the middle of all that work lol I’m getting ready to can up some pinto beans, I love having them on hand, so quick to heat.
Ben you are a lucky man. A beautiful family and a beautiful wife who not only loves to cook and provide for her family but enjoys it! Happy Birthday Buggy! peace, y'all
Happy Birthday, Buggy xox Home grown corn this winter is gonna rock. You guys are awesome. Love the homestead way of life. You all rock xx Keep up the good work. Many blessings to you and your family.
Happy Birthday Buggy!!!
Meg, girl you're the canning, and dehydrating queen!!! You just go, go, go!!! I'm going to call you the Energizer Bunny 😉
Nice looking corn you picked up!
I picked up sweet corn from our neighbor, and ended up freezing it. We still need a stove I can do canning on. This flat glass top just doesn't work well with the large pressure canner. This year everything was frozen or canned to make thing easier. Next year, will be buying a different stove.
Received my order of the soap you made, and we all love the bars.
Ben, like the long hair dude!!!
Little Buggy, just one year old and you have every male running after you and doing your bidding. 😆
Lots of good and useful work needing done indoors so let it 🌧.
Happy Birthday Buggy!!!🥳🎊 Meg, you're doing a great job preserving all the food for wintertime!!!!👍
I love your family and all your videos!
Ya'll are being smart with the food inflation and the lack of food on the store shelves. I've been putting up food like crazy too. Buggy is so stinking cute! Those eyes! I love Jessica's August Challenge! Enjoyed all of the canning!
So good to watch your family working together to get the winters food ready. Happy Birthday baby girl, you are growing like a weed. I wish you all the best of the harvest and have a Blessed day.
Your home is so cozy and efficient. ❤️😉
