  • The kudzu is starting to take over our wooded acreage, so we are moving the pigs to a new paddock in order for them to graze and manage it for us.
    Today’s music, in order (available through Epidemic Sound bit.ly/2Mt3tXm ):

    LOL, good thing Buggie has big brothers! I led a perfect childhood thanks to my brother. He took me places when he hung out, and treated me with courtesy, even though there was a 5 year age difference. He taught me what to expect from a gentlemanly date and told me to expect nothing less than the best. When I came of dating age, he took aside the fellows and "eddu-kated" them on how to behave before he was allowed to leave with me. My dad worked two jobs six days a week, so he delegated this important role to my bro. I count myself as blessed.

    I was literally aching to hold that precious baby and do what my husband's granmother called, "the grandma jig." It was a little back and forth dance that she swore by. She did with all 3 of our children. Ohhhhh how sweet!

    My whole family gets so excited when you put out a new video. We love your family!! Thank you for teaching my teens about gardening. The garden they built from watching you has been a huge blessing. I never would have thought that growing our own food would help to heal my health problems, but it did. I am grateful. Thank you!! By the way, our neighbor asked permission to take pictures of the garden because of its beauty. Makes me laugh because we look like farmers in a Subdivision. But, the kids used what they had. My husband was always worried about what the neighbors would think. Now the neighbors are taking pictures because of the beauty ( a garden wrapped in a present of flowers and song birds in a small Subdivision backyard- and a healthy mommy). Thanks!

    Buggie is such the big helper on the homestead, always ready to join in the fun. Hearing Ben call the baby "little parrot" was too cute....next summer Birdie and Buggie will be running around the farm together!

    I keep hoping that eventually you all will get a farm dog. You just can't beat a good dog for deer control, predation protection and security alarm when anyone shows up on your place. It doesn't necessarily have to be a LGD, but one who can happily live out in all weather. I know a certain lil Buggie that would be a great trainer :)

    Hello, that looked like so much fun! I haven't seen baby pigs for well a very very long time. On the farm when i was a child, pigs were my favourite. The mama pig used to let me scratch her back with a stick! I love the sound that they make! I remember them sticking their whole face in the wet feed my family used to make for them. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a lovely day!

    We had a tiny runt from a neighbour who was going to put it down because its litter mates had already bitten its tail and some of its ears off so we raised it. It became a bully and we had to be very careful feeding it (we were quite small) it made beautiful bacon 😅

    Cute little piggies and always nice when the pigs clear off some more land.
    Exactly who doesn't like baked potatoes. I usually smash them after there baked slather on the melted butter, cheese and I add either chopped up BBQ pork, beef or chicken add salsa and sour cream yum.
    Ben, it's been almost a hundred w/ humidity around 70 ugh so I get up about 4:30 a.m. when it's about 69 and a slight breeze after 8 a.m. I'm in for the day but, then I'm old 😅.
    Elizabeth is so cute, well goes without saying so is Buggy and getting tall.
    Blessings to you and the family. 😊🇺🇲

    Hello Hollar Family! Vividly remember kudzo while living in NC. Had a long dirt driveway and it would grow over it completely covering. Way too many spots where it was not controlled and it took advantage. It literally would grow halfway across in a day. The trees were completely covered, no tree could be seen. Glad I'm not battling that now.

    The summer working outside hours are in effect for many farmers/homesteaders. That sun is hot, and strong. We don't need heat exhaustion, or cancer from the sun.
    Those Kune Kune's are so adorable, perfect size, and not as aggressive as other pigs.

    instead of sour cream on baked potatoes i've been putting onion dip on them. this has been going on for about 6-8 months and i'll probably keep doin it another several months. try it, you'll like it too.

      "Dean's, French Onion Dip" is a pretty good affordable brand. "Daisy Sour Cream French Onion Dip" is good too, but a little more expensive (and fancy).
