When you gave all the glory to God it took your passion for homesteading to another level,this is why your life and homesteading is prosperous,to God be the glory
I want to be you when I grow up! 2024 is my first year gardening and I have SO much to learn. With how the world is going, I cannot wait to do this much. It's so exciting!
It looks bigger than 1/2 acre. I would love to see a map of the garden and see how the space is so well utilized. This sort of thing could be done all across the country but I drive across the countryside and see two acre lots growing nothing but grass. We have 7 acres of land but I would love to compress the garden down into the easy care system I see here.
@@Alisorganics I love your garden. Mine is so delayed because I just haven't had the energy and strength to do what I usually do. Pray for me, please, to be fully healed and get my food forest in at the new location. (I lost my lease last year.)
She didn't say which God. Be careful. You and her could be talking about two different ones. Unless someone says JESUS CHRIST I wouldn't believe them. Because to say God is just to generic.
God brought me to my acreage and I'm beyond grateful! To give you an idea of where I'm at I just built 5 raised beds and have 3 of them filled and planted. I'm 60 and doing it alone so the process is painstakingly slow. I'm working full-time and driving into the city 5 days per week. My weekends are spent with nature though. I'm surrounded by God's creation and that awareness is in the forefront of my mind every second. I can tell I'm going to love your channel and I just subscribed. Blessings :)
I love that you are doing it and with God as your guidance. When we moved here all those years ago is quit the story and we thought we would only be here for 5 years. 36 years later (in 1 week) here we are. For some reason we know God had other plans for us. Not totally sure why or for what reason. There is nothing that I enjoy more than being with nature in the garden. I calms my wild heart! Thank you for sharing 🥰
Big Kudos to you! Gardening, especially starting out, is hard work. But oh so rewarding! Nothing in my humble opinion brings one closer to our Creator than being around nature. I’m 70 and on year 10 of being on our homestead. Focus on “survival” foods. Potatoes, tomatoes, winter squash, cabbage, kale, pole beans, (Dent) Corn. Add onions and garlic for needed flavor and health. May God Bless You!
I would love to hear more about your story and also HOW you found your location! I’m also on my own and am looking to start a food forrest w/garden, but I’ve YET to find something in my price range that would *allow* me to do this while still being in town ‘enough’ for me to feel psychologically comfortable. Serious question: How did you find your *balance* between affordability and location?
@@idontknowyouthatsmypurse My story won't help you too much because I purchased the acreage 25 years ago. I could not afford it now. However, I would keep looking. Even 1/2 acre or 2-3 acres would be great! I bought the land after horrible riots that happened near my house over 25 years ago. There were fires and molotov cocktails. It was a nice quiet neighborhood too. I had to rush to evacuate my home with my little girl. Then after I got her somewhere safe I went back for my pets. Let's just say I was geared up with things to ensure I would get my pets safely without any harm coming to me. My house was not damaged thankfully. The riots stopped 1 block from my house. That's when I started looking and purchased the land about a year later. I looked in 3 states. I ran into some men at a hospital that I worked at and one was the Mayor of the town I live in now. We exchanged numbers which I never do and he gave my number to a builder. So it was a private sale. As soon as I saw the acreage I signed the contract immediately knowing my search was over. There's even more to the story but like I said God placed me here. I would definitely pray on it :)
@@resourcefulgirl thank you for your kind response. It does appear that God placed people in your path as confirmation that it was His will… I am DEFINITELY praying for guidance with this, and for God to make a way! As Adam Corolla would say, I like the cut of your jib! Take care.
Make sure you watch till the end! that's my favorite part . I was able to visit Ali's shop last year. I could not believe everything she is doing there on such a small space. Just beautiful! Thank you once again Ali!
@@KajtoGjorthur Correct🤔 and I am 77yo. I have many interests and gardening is only one. If SHTF, then new priorities for sure. But raising food is hard work at any age.
@@dougbas3980 which is why these things were done in communal supports and required large families. Like the amish. You choose between technology or animal/manpower. If you have one, you are less reliant on the other. The system pulls and pushes depending on what you want out of it. These indie farms be like: oh hey guys we are using 500,000$ worth to modern tech to do basic living tasks alone. Or, hey guys, here is our 20 person family, unified with religion else none of this would work. Meanwhile the desire exists in large numbers but without a unified goal or purpose (like a family, or community) you end up with losers like myself living like half a bum in the woods, hauling food by rucksack and canoe. You ever visit one of those hippy communes? They're horrible. It's like the amish, except there is zero leadership or cohesion, everyone does whatever they want.
Dear I already do it too a great extent but with no wife at present as she deserted me not long after buying our small farm. So if it's what you dream, stop dreaming and do it with me. As I will stop when I give up breathing.
@@trinitywright7122 I'm 73 and still growing all I can, but am at a loss as to how she grazes the goat on 1/2 acre as I had 90 sq, yd, set aside for my goat and that make her growing area even smaller. So she has to be buying more food then she lets' on. 50 years in the game I know just about every trick in the book, but still need 1 acre to do all for 2 people. You could always come here and help me with mine as plenty room, my house is as big as her garden. at 7,000 sq, ft;
We should have schools on wind turbine with solar roof hybrid system, we have solar window film, solar rolls, solar shades, solar lights in/outdoor, natural gas, hydrogen, biofuels, and tidel, river/ocean currents, wave, geothermal, and piezoelectric energy where applicable. Then vertical farming (Freight, Bowrey, Plenty) all school food. With ivestock farm on vertical farming fodder. Fisheries, aqua pontic with classes and farmers market vendors. Use the NEOM solar dome desalination on coastline areas. With all school buses (Lion Electric ) and staff vehicles electric with charging stations. We can also have electric tools on building hybrid system or electric generators with personal solar. Electric tractors can be used. Its a complete self sustainable system. Hope this helps? God bless. 2 Peter 1:7
I loved this. Just found you and the amount of information you provided without an endless amount of redundancy was brilliant! Thank you! I also love that you gave thanks to God. I believe that is WHY you have been so abundantly blessed. ❤
We need all the folks like you we can find! Thank you so much for making these encouraging videos full of great gardening tips while acknowledging our Father God!
@@Alisorganics the rewards far outweigh the work and sacrifice, and your children and grands will benefit also , you are living a legacy for them and us viewers, God is so good!
Amen! Thank you for creating these videos. We have the space, but I was about to get discouraged battling the elements. This helped pick me back up. God and Prayer guides us to what we need. 👩🌾🐥🌻
Elements make it hard, but I keep in my mind the reason I’m doing it and move forward. Last night we had 55 mph winds all night. I don’t know how, but we lost little fruit, some sunflowers and some ruffled leaves. Thanking God today! 🥰
Wow! I have just started 2 years ago with a vegetable garden and fruit trees. I have a ways to go. You are such an inspiration. I'm so glad I found your channel!
Just a quick word of encouragement: you (and your garden) are beautiful. Thanks for demonstrating Proverbs 14:1, "The wisest of women build"--you are at work building a productive, joyful life. Well done ❤
Thank you so much! That means a lot. I love that you turned your backyard into a garden. I have another area that I’m hoping to transition this year. Such joy!
Thank you for sharing your garden and story, I have a 50’x100’ garden it would be larger but I work 10-12 hr days doing road construction so my larger garden is in the fall where I am rained out and can work in my garden even in the rain 😊 texas sun is brutal so are our deer . Your garden looks beautiful, the Lord is good always
Thank you! That is a very nice sized garden and a LOT of work for sure. We don't have deer in town. Our sun is so brutal here as well. Makes July and August tough months to grow. I use lots of floating row cover to help protect my plants from burning up. What zone are you in? How hot do your summers get? God Bless!
I’m in southern PA Trying to turn a garage into my Tiny House on 3/4 acre I can’t picture all that you have (grapes, orchards…) on just the 1/2 acre, gives me hope I know I can have chickens & rabbits but having goats, sheep…🧐 need 3acres for livestock Just found you here I’ll be back🥰 Thanking God for Small Homesteaders like you😃
I wish I could have sheep! I would love to have a pasture for them. I would raise them for fiber🥰. But for now, my little angora goats are my happy place! Thank you!
So if I don’t want to move out of the place where I live I am screwed as far as being self sufficient….A piece of property like the one you bought where I live would cost about 75 million dollars…if I had that kind of money then I wouldn’t need to be self sufficient? Also where I live a pound of tomatoes costs .99c …a pound of potatoes costs ..99c kind of hard to beat those prices right? Self sufficiency has no meaning under those circumstances ….we produce 40 % of all the food that is consumed in this country…..we border with a country that produces tons of food that is mainly exported to our state…so we have fresh food all year long…no bologna snow here….it is interesting that the concept of self sufficiency is in the mind of certain people mainly they think about jesos( Jesus) or Donald trump the convicted felon…..
Omgoodness 😮 I am stunned 😳 Unbelievable what y’all have achieved!! I am literally amazed at everything you’re raising and producing 😄 Wow, Wow, Wow!! I am so happy for you!! 🙏🏻
I am a new subscriber, and this video was amazing. I learned so much from your tour. Your homestead is what I am praying and working to achieve! God bless.
Great video! Your homestead is one of the most efficient and well organized I've seen; I'd guess it was two or three acres at least. Could you make another video showing some aerial views of the whole place in one shot, and maybe a sketched map explaining where everything is located explain how work patterns flow throughout the property? Truly an inspiration.
I always say, if you don’t have a healthy soil, whatever you plant won’t products the necessary nutrients to nourish your body. That’s a wonderful video, cover so many different topics, and people can learn on each one of them getting deeper information on them. Good job.
I have watched dozens of homesteading channels, and yours is by far my favorite!!! I am first of all extremely impressed with what you do on a half an acre. We bought 5 acres a yea and a half ago, but wondered if a little more would be better. After watching your video today, I see it isn’t, for what we eventually hope to do. I can see a lot of hard work, thought and planning went into your place. I love your teaching style, and your video was interesting to watch beginning to end! You have a new subscriber!! ❤️
Thank you so very much! Yes! I do a lot on our small space! Just imagine what you can do! The advantage of large space would be pastures. Do you have any animals or fruit trees planted yet?
@@Alisorganics thankfully the layout of this property is perfect for animals. And there is an old barn on the property. It needs a little work but good bones. We have a small pond that we hope to expand someday. We have been working on the home and work building (my husband works from home). And hope to add trees very soon! Again I’m so impressed and encouraged by what you have done. Thanks for sharing what you do. Blessings!! 🙏❤️
Wow your garden is amazing. I live in zone 10 and because of our sandy soil we have to grow in buckets. Soil is expensive and can't seem to find one that helps us grow healthy crops. Our county does not allow us to have farm animals of any kind in the neighborhood. My question may be redundant since I just found your channel on this video but do you have a video showing a layout of your entire Garden, animal area and other Orchard areas. Would be curious to see how you have it all laid out. I did notice you had some aerial shots that would be helpful in this video. We will be moving as soon as we can and getting some acreage. You are a blessing to the homesteading community and thank you for sharing Your Love of gardening with us
Thank you so much for your videos! You are such a wealth of knowledge! And I agree keep thanking God, our sustainer, our peace, and the one who gives us life.❤
Just found your channel. WOW, you've got it all in a small space. Had no idea you could do all that in small place. This is my 2nd year with container garden. Looking better this year. Glad GOD is the center of it all. GOD BLESS.
Dad would plant in early Spring Baby onions and when they wrte the size of the tip of his little finger hed dig them up n sell them then hed plant his main garden over where his babu onions were.
Very beautiful garden. My dream is to be self-sufficient, and I've just purchased raw land in the Ozarks, and im on a journey to homestead. Hope to learn from you all.❤❤
Wowww!! Your knowledge and skills are an inspiration to all of us!! I follow many homesteaders and by FAR for the smaller piece of land you own, compared to many I follow, you are knocking it….out…of …the park!! I learn more from you, compared to the others! You def are very skilled, and make it easy to understand. Great channel!!! Thank you 💚
The way you praised God for it all did it for me. I hope to make the most of my little homestead also and your spaces are so wonderfully laid out. Subscribed!
As a personal friend I want to say thank you for what you do day in and day out , this is something I want to do with the property we have ,but it's hard for me to get started because I start work at 5AM and by the time i get home other things need to be done, I'm sure you know all about it anyway thank you and may god bless you as well !❤😇
Hi Rosemary! Thank you so much! It has been so fun to get to know you. AND my melon seeds you sent me are going in the ground tomorrow morning! Thank you!
My question is around goats. We have 1/2 acre but some of the community is telling us that goats should be on 2 acres and shouldn’t be kept in small areas. We were thinking about Nigerian Dwarf bc they produce good milk and are smaller. What do you feed them outside of feed?
Our goats get grain, hay, chaffhaye, branches from trimmings, leaves in the fall(when they wonder the orchard), garden vegetables, ect. Certainly more room is good for them to forage and you may not even have to offer hay. We try to offer things that they would forage for. They do need exercise to stay healthy so we do walk them. Also, there is a field a half block away that we take them to a few times a week so they can run. I hope that field never gets developed. It’s a bit of work, but it’s my favorite. My neighbors kept 3 Nigerian dwarfs and they have half the space we do. They are a much smaller goat than Nubians.
❤ Very inspirational!! I recently built a tunnel and started gardening at my first home. After I bought the house, I learned that I would need at least one acre of land space to have 1 goat in this state. Now, I am seeking out a separate plot of land that is not too far away. My dream is to have a couple of goats, several chickens, possibly rabbits, and several fruit and nut trees.😊
We are pretty fortunate to be able to have the animals. We have to have 1/2 acre to have large animals. The new laws don’t allow roosters unless you are grandfathered in and we are. Many neighbors have roosters, but no one minds. Im glad they do! I absolutely LOVE my goats. They are so friendly, like a good dog! Good luck in your hunt for a place to keep goats!
I almost find the small space fun and challenging to see how much I can squeeze into it! I’m “almost” maxed out. 😊thank you. I would love to hear what you are doing to get the most out of your space.
@@Alisorganics been renting for years and we just moved but our last rental I wasn’t allowed to use the grass area so I had pots on every part of the porch area (maybe 40 feet x 5-8 feet depending on the area and had to account for the overhang that had one section 6-8 hrs of sun and the smaller portion 2-3 hrs which is where I put a pop up green house and the citrus thrived in it). Took 2 U-Haul trips to move all those hahah so I used every inch I could. Now in a new rental and can use the yard more. Can’t do what I want to do in the sense of digging up and such so still pots and grow bags but can use the side of the house, backyard, all that (even the front I’m trying to do some ninja gardening). Lots of trial and error but have learned a ton in a year. It’s too cool grabbing a tomato out of the back or herbs or the berries.
I’ll do a layout of the entire place this summer. Everyone says it looks bigger. I WISH I have 3 acres. I’d have sheep!!!! Anyway I think it would be fun for everyone to see how it’s all crammed in!
I just found your channel and I love it so much! You are an inspiration. We have a small 1.3 acre homestead with a 3/4 acre committed to pasture for our ruminants. We have only had it going for a couple years since we relocated to the Central time zone, but I can't wait until it is as productive as yours. Praise the Lord for all things.
It takes a few years, but so worth it! I would love to have pasture, but we do with what we have. Thank you so much for your comment. May God Bless you and your family 🥰
Praise God for what He has provided for you and your family. Enjoy your beautiful environment. It looks peaceful because you invited God to be part of it. Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you for sharing your small homestead design and ideas! Yes, thank our God daily. Love that you believe. Eat in season but put-up food for the off-season. That's the part that many who preach "eating in season" miss -- the human element, where we use ingenuity to extend the provision He gives us -- into all the seasons. Very inspirational. I just subscribed and hope to see more of your videos.
Hi Ali, great video and glad to see things are still growing beautifully! My wife and I use to come down from Apple valley to buy seeds from you until 3 years ago we sold our home to move back to our home state of Georgia. Now I am working on building our food/garden utopia just as you have, in fact what you have established over the years has always been such a great inspiration to me as I’m sure it has been to so, so many. May you continue to be blessed! We really miss visiting your garden and buying from you.
@@Georgiajason I’m so happy for you! And that explains why I haven’t seen you both! I miss you guys! I hope Georgia treats you well. How is the weather there? Cooler I hope. We are sitting at 108° today and expected 115° tomorrow.
@@Alisorganics well as much as I’d like to say it’s cooler in temps, with our everlasting humidity levels of 100% while being in the high 90’s, it’s been very difficult to be outside. The air is very thick and the moisture certainly creates its own challenges with growing food. Plant disease is very real. On a better note, we are sure to never run out of water, however when the storms come in and hurricane season is in full swing, too much water will drown our garden out. We’re on coastal planes and live on the edge of the Okefenokee swamp system, roughly 40 mins north of the Florida line in the country. Another hardship here with plants is bugs, everything wants to eat our plants, but…..we are learning and not discouraged by it.
Very inspiring 35 yrs well worked, we are following your steps in small scale, always thankful to God and Earth and having fun being sustainable and working in the farm and posting some videos in YT.

Wow! I have just started 2 years ago with a vegetable garden and fruit trees. I have a ways to go. You are such an inspiration. I'm so glad I found your channel!
Thank you so much! I do really appreciate that. AND that's a great start!
What a beautiful message! Your homestead is a dream!
Thank you!🙏🏼
Just a quick word of encouragement: you (and your garden) are beautiful. Thanks for demonstrating Proverbs 14:1, "The wisest of women build"--you are at work building a productive, joyful life. Well done ❤
Thanks for that!
The 1/2 acre is used very nicely 👍
Thank you 😊
I love your garden!!! I have 1/4 acre in a subdivision & I have turned most of my backyard into a garden. Your channel is one of my favorites!
Thank you so much! That means a lot. I love that you turned your backyard into a garden. I have another area that I’m hoping to transition this year. Such joy!
So do I live in a small town that's what I did with my back lock yard I'd love to see yours
Thank you for sharing your garden and story, I have a 50’x100’ garden it would be larger but I work 10-12 hr days doing road construction so my larger garden is in the fall where I am rained out and can work in my garden even in the rain 😊 texas sun is brutal so are our deer . Your garden looks beautiful, the Lord is good always
50’x100’ is impressive. I am in Bowie County, N. Texas. What region are you growing in?
Thank you! That is a very nice sized garden and a LOT of work for sure. We don't have deer in town.
Our sun is so brutal here as well. Makes July and August tough months to grow. I use lots of floating row cover to help protect my plants from burning up. What zone are you in? How hot do your summers get?
God Bless!
❤ you gave God a mention. Need more people to do the same because everything comes from Him. Everything.
Yes! Everything! 💕🙏🏼
Amen!!! ❤❤❤
Yes!
Goals..thank you for all the info. 🙏🏻
I’m in southern PA
Trying to turn a garage into my Tiny House on 3/4 acre
I can’t picture all that you have (grapes, orchards…) on just the 1/2 acre, gives me hope
I know I can have chickens & rabbits but having goats, sheep…🧐 need 3acres for livestock
Just found you here I’ll be back🥰 Thanking God for Small Homesteaders like you😃
I wish I could have sheep! I would love to have a pasture for them. I would raise them for fiber🥰. But for now, my little angora goats are my happy place! Thank you!
Wow, Thankyou for the encouragement, doing SO much with so little, God is good, Praise Jesus 🙌🏼
You’re welcome and thank you! God bless 💕
Yes, thank God daily.
Thank you for giving credit to God! Watching this, I thought the blessings of her land are divine!
so much more beautiful place to be than just a grass lawn...thanks!
Loved watching your video. All glory to God was my takeaway 🙏. Thankyou from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬
Awesome! Just bought 34 acres in Tennessee and can’t wait to get started homesteading! Even started our own TH-cam channel to document it all.
Oh wonderful! I hope you are not in the parts that are flooding. 🥰
So if I don’t want to move out of the place where I live I am screwed as far as being self sufficient….A piece of property like the one you bought where I live would cost about 75 million dollars…if I had that kind of money then I wouldn’t need to be self sufficient? Also where I live a pound of tomatoes costs .99c …a pound of potatoes costs ..99c kind of hard to beat those prices right? Self sufficiency has no meaning under those circumstances ….we produce 40 % of all the food that is consumed in this country…..we border with a country that produces tons of food that is mainly exported to our state…so we have fresh food all year long…no bologna snow here….it is interesting that the concept of self sufficiency is in the mind of certain people mainly they think about jesos( Jesus) or Donald trump the convicted felon…..
Omgoodness 😮 I am stunned 😳 Unbelievable what y’all have achieved!!
I am literally amazed at everything you’re raising and producing 😄
Wow, Wow, Wow!! I am so happy for you!! 🙏🏻
Thank you so much!!
I am a new subscriber, and this video was amazing. I learned so much from your tour. Your homestead is what I am praying and working to achieve! God bless.
May God bless you in your achievements! Keep focused and it will happen! Thank you so much for your kindness.
To God be the Glory! Your homestead looks amazing, thank you for always sharing knowledge and wisdom on growing food to feed our families!!!
Your welcome and thank you ☺️
😊❤❤❤ brawo super piękny i zorganizowany ogród widać twą miłość i pasję do przyrody jesteś cennym i wartościową osobą,szacun,
Great video! Your homestead is one of the most efficient and well organized I've seen; I'd guess it was two or three acres at least. Could you make another video showing some aerial views of the whole place in one shot, and maybe a sketched map explaining where everything is located explain how work patterns flow throughout the property? Truly an inspiration.
Yes. I will be doing one this summer. Thank you very much! 🙏🏼 😊🌻
Outstanding. Very inspirational on so many levels. Wishing you God's blessings from Australia.
Wishing you God's blessings from Utah US 😊. Thank YOU!
Looks like my video reached all the way to the land down under! Thanks for the blessings and support.
"Eat in season as God intended" that's wisdom. This video was inspiration
😊 thank you. 🙏🏼 it’s so true. We always feel better when we do.
You are my new BFF 😂😂❤. Watching from Liberia, West Africa. Great work sis. I used to watch you when I was in America.
you really inspire me more to get more focus and to study Agriculture more. I really love your garden.I wish we benefited from there.
What a phenomenal video! The words, the arrangement of it all. Floored.
Thank you. 😊 💕
I always say, if you don’t have a healthy soil, whatever you plant won’t products the necessary nutrients to nourish your body. That’s a wonderful video, cover so many different topics, and people can learn on each one of them getting deeper information on them. Good job.
Thank you! I appreciate that.
I have watched dozens of homesteading channels, and yours is by far my favorite!!! I am first of all extremely impressed with what you do on a half an acre. We bought 5 acres a yea and a half ago, but wondered if a little more would be better. After watching your video today, I see it isn’t, for what we eventually hope to do. I can see a lot of hard work, thought and planning went into your place. I love your teaching style, and your video was interesting to watch beginning to end! You have a new subscriber!! ❤️
Thank you so very much! Yes! I do a lot on our small space! Just imagine what you can do! The advantage of large space would be pastures. Do you have any animals or fruit trees planted yet?
@@Alisorganics thankfully the layout of this property is perfect for animals. And there is an old barn on the property. It needs a little work but good bones. We have a small pond that we hope to expand someday. We have been working on the home and work building (my husband works from home). And hope to add trees very soon! Again I’m so impressed and encouraged by what you have done. Thanks for sharing what you do. Blessings!! 🙏❤️
Wow your garden is amazing. I live in zone 10 and because of our sandy soil we have to grow in buckets. Soil is expensive and can't seem to find one that helps us grow healthy crops. Our county does not allow us to have farm animals of any kind in the neighborhood. My question may be redundant since I just found your channel on this video but do you have a video showing a layout of your entire Garden, animal area and other Orchard areas. Would be curious to see how you have it all laid out. I did notice you had some aerial shots that would be helpful in this video. We will be moving as soon as we can and getting some acreage. You are a blessing to the homesteading community and thank you for sharing Your Love of gardening with us
This is one of the greatest videos ever made
Thank you so very much 💕
You are my new favourite TH-camr! Thanks for sharing, I want to live just like you!
Wow, thank you! I appreciate that so much.
Ali I just love your videos! They are so informative and INTERESTING! Can’t wait to see you guys this fall.
Thank you! I’m so excited! It’s come up quick and we can’t wait to see you all again too!
I want to be like you when I grow up … 💪🏾
Thank you so much for your videos! You are such a wealth of knowledge! And I agree keep thanking God, our sustainer, our peace, and the one who gives us life.❤
Thank you very much. 💕
Loved your homestead and lifestyle and video.
Thank you 😊
Beautiful garden
Just found your channel. WOW, you've got it all in a small space. Had no idea you could do all that in small place. This is my 2nd year with container garden. Looking better this year.
Glad GOD is the center of it all. GOD BLESS.
Thank you! We do put a lot on this little piece of ground for sure. Good luck with your container growing this year! 🥰. God Bless!
I absolutely love this. Thank you 🙏 🔥🔥💚🫶🙏
Dad would plant in early Spring Baby onions and when they wrte the size of the tip of his little finger hed dig them up n sell them then hed plant his main garden over where his babu onions were.
I love this so much!! I'm dong the same on our tiny homestead. Thanks for all the inspiration.
I love doing it. It’s so fun isn’t it? 🙏🏼💕
Very beautiful garden. My dream is to be self-sufficient, and I've just purchased raw land in the Ozarks, and im on a journey to homestead. Hope to learn from you all.❤❤
Sounds like you have some work ahead of you. 😊 We started with a mostly blank piece of land, other than lots of weeds and a tiny rose bush.
Thank you! Lots of wonderful information, quick lessons and tips , and encouragement for beginners 👍 And, glory to our Creator 🙏❣️
Thank you very much!
Wowww!! Your knowledge and skills are an inspiration to all of us!! I follow many homesteaders and by FAR for the smaller piece of land you own, compared to many I follow, you are knocking it….out…of …the park!! I learn more from you, compared to the others! You def are very skilled, and make it easy to understand. Great channel!!! Thank you 💚
Thank you so much. You don’t know how much I appreciate that. 🥰🥰
You’re a rare gem. God bless you
I really loved watching this! I live in an apartment and really would love to do this but my income is small. Praying God will provide the way for me!
I love your garden and animals. Thank you for sharing ❤
You are so welcome! I love our animals too. They bring us lots of joy! Thank you
I love your video … I love that you said thank god daily ❤❤❤❤
The way you praised God for it all did it for me. I hope to make the most of my little homestead also and your spaces are so wonderfully laid out. Subscribed!
Thank you🙏🏼 I’m sure you will able to do the same for your homestead. God bless you in your endeavors.
As a personal friend I want to say thank you for what you do day in and day out , this is something I want to do with the property we have ,but it's hard for me to get started because I start work at 5AM and by the time i get home other things need to be done, I'm sure you know all about it anyway thank you and may god bless you as well !❤😇
Hi Rosemary! Thank you so much! It has been so fun to get to know you. AND my melon seeds you sent me are going in the ground tomorrow morning! Thank you!
@@Alisorganics oh your welcome ! And that's great to hear 🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉
wow how unbelievable, your home is wonderful!
Just found your channel. Great tips and encouragement.
My question is around goats. We have 1/2 acre but some of the community is telling us that goats should be on 2 acres and shouldn’t be kept in small areas. We were thinking about Nigerian Dwarf bc they produce good milk and are smaller. What do you feed them outside of feed?
Our goats get grain, hay, chaffhaye, branches from trimmings, leaves in the fall(when they wonder the orchard), garden vegetables, ect. Certainly more room is good for them to forage and you may not even have to offer hay. We try to offer things that they would forage for. They do need exercise to stay healthy so we do walk them. Also, there is a field a half block away that we take them to a few times a week so they can run. I hope that field never gets developed. It’s a bit of work, but it’s my favorite. My neighbors kept 3 Nigerian dwarfs and they have half the space we do. They are a much smaller goat than Nubians.
New subscriber here in Ohio, what a wonderful homestead.
Hello from Utah!
❤ Very inspirational!! I recently built a tunnel and started gardening at my first home. After I bought the house, I learned that I would need at least one acre of land space to have 1 goat in this state. Now, I am seeking out a separate plot of land that is not too far away. My dream is to have a couple of goats, several chickens, possibly rabbits, and several fruit and nut trees.😊
We are pretty fortunate to be able to have the animals. We have to have 1/2 acre to have large animals. The new laws don’t allow roosters unless you are grandfathered in and we are. Many neighbors have roosters, but no one minds. Im glad they do! I absolutely LOVE my goats. They are so friendly, like a good dog! Good luck in your hunt for a place to keep goats!
I always enjoy hearing your perspective and seeing your lovely gardens.
Thank you!
Great stuff. Started a garden last year and working to be in the same ballpark as you guys
I almost find the small space fun and challenging to see how much I can squeeze into it! I’m “almost” maxed out. 😊thank you. I would love to hear what you are doing to get the most out of your space.
@@Alisorganics been renting for years and we just moved but our last rental I wasn’t allowed to use the grass area so I had pots on every part of the porch area (maybe 40 feet x 5-8 feet depending on the area and had to account for the overhang that had one section 6-8 hrs of sun and the smaller portion 2-3 hrs which is where I put a pop up green house and the citrus thrived in it). Took 2 U-Haul trips to move all those hahah so I used every inch I could. Now in a new rental and can use the yard more. Can’t do what I want to do in the sense of digging up and such so still pots and grow bags but can use the side of the house, backyard, all that (even the front I’m trying to do some ninja gardening). Lots of trial and error but have learned a ton in a year. It’s too cool grabbing a tomato out of the back or herbs or the berries.
New subscriber. Great video. Thank you!
Thanks for the sub!
Absolutely Awesome Job!
Thank you 😊
I wish I could come tour your space! It’s amazing! Well done 🎉❤
I never would have thought, this is wonderful
AMEN! Thank you for a great video and tour. I love your homestead and all you inspire us to set our sights and prayers on. Be blessed!!
Thank you so much for your comment. 🥰 living this way has been a blessing. Blessings to you!
So Impressive! God is good.
If I had to guess, I would guess that is on 3 acres. Great job, you are one busy lady.
I’ll do a layout of the entire place this summer. Everyone says it looks bigger. I WISH I have 3 acres. I’d have sheep!!!! Anyway I think it would be fun for everyone to see how it’s all crammed in!
I just found your channel and I love it so much! You are an inspiration. We have a small 1.3 acre homestead with a 3/4 acre committed to pasture for our ruminants. We have only had it going for a couple years since we relocated to the Central time zone, but I can't wait until it is as productive as yours. Praise the Lord for all things.
It takes a few years, but so worth it! I would love to have pasture, but we do with what we have. Thank you so much for your comment. May God Bless you and your family 🥰
Thank you for attributing it all to god
Your welcome. And it’s true. Couldn’t do it without God in my life. So grateful🥰
New subscriber here! Beautiful garden homestead!
Thank you! 💕
Praise God for what He has provided for you and your family. Enjoy your beautiful environment. It looks peaceful because you invited God to be part of it. Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦
We feel pretty blessed with what has been giving to us to care for! Thank you and Blessing from USA! Thank you!
This video was an amazingly educational and inspirational!! Thank you
Thank you for sharing your small homestead design and ideas! Yes, thank our God daily. Love that you believe. Eat in season but put-up food for the off-season. That's the part that many who preach "eating in season" miss -- the human element, where we use ingenuity to extend the provision He gives us -- into all the seasons. Very inspirational. I just subscribed and hope to see more of your videos.
Thank you very much. Blessing and have a beautiful week🥰
Yes darling you are so right. I grow at a 3m space but we get a lot of food which we eat for 7months
Hi Ali, great video and glad to see things are still growing beautifully! My wife and I use to come down from Apple valley to buy seeds from you until 3 years ago we sold our home to move back to our home state of Georgia. Now I am working on building our food/garden utopia just as you have, in fact what you have established over the years has always been such a great inspiration to me as I’m sure it has been to so, so many. May you continue to be blessed! We really miss visiting your garden and buying from you.
@@Georgiajason I’m so happy for you! And that explains why I haven’t seen you both! I miss you guys! I hope Georgia treats you well. How is the weather there? Cooler I hope. We are sitting at 108° today and expected 115° tomorrow.
@@Alisorganics well as much as I’d like to say it’s cooler in temps, with our everlasting humidity levels of 100% while being in the high 90’s, it’s been very difficult to be outside. The air is very thick and the moisture certainly creates its own challenges with growing food. Plant disease is very real. On a better note, we are sure to never run out of water, however when the storms come in and hurricane season is in full swing, too much water will drown our garden out. We’re on coastal planes and live on the edge of the Okefenokee swamp system, roughly 40 mins north of the Florida line in the country. Another hardship here with plants is bugs, everything wants to eat our plants, but…..we are learning and not discouraged by it.
Wow i am so inspired
Very inspiring 35 yrs well worked, we are following your steps in small scale, always thankful to God and Earth and having fun being sustainable and working in the farm and posting some videos in YT.
❤😊🙏🙏🙏 Yes thank God Almighty daily for many bountiful blessings, and praise Him for His infinite goodness.
🥰❤️❤️❤️
Boa noite 🌙. PARABÉNS PELA LINDA PLANTAÇÃO...MUITA FARTURA..UMA BENÇÃO DE DEUS....JOÃO LOPES....BRASIL
Love this! Wish you could give me pointers on my garden!
