I'm late to the game on homesteading. I'm now 66 but 5 years ago we finally got some acreage (2 acres with .5 in forest) and started a plant nursery. This year I'm getting more into gardening and preserving. This is our forever home, so it will evolve into more vegetable gardening and less perennials as I move forward. Thanks for your encouraging story!
Hi Wendy, like you I am 66, have a desert like property but am working with it. Can't have any livestock except Chickens, and horses, I don't need horses, like them but way destructive and expensive. Like you learning to preserve.
I am excited for you! Godspeed on your journey!
Never to late! Enjoy it!)
Its never too late Ms Cash! All the best for your wonderful garden ❤️
Us to moving to 2.5 areas and doing much more gardening and preserving
What an amazing journey! Thanks for sharing it with us. 40 years ago, my husband and I had the opportunity to buy a house with barns and 30 acres - and we did not because I was scared, I did not have the knowledge I have now. There was no Internet, no TH-cam, no bloggers to learn from. Younger people can learn so much now and make the jump. Thank you for sharing your knowledge so freely.
oh how i relate to your journey. been married 38 yrs to the same man and we both worked making really good money to my husband becoming disabled to having it be a necessary to garden , canning, chickens, i go wild forging, ect . i did not know how ive missed out on all this wonderful times. arkansas is different weather than you and we dont have but1/2 acre.but God is Good.
I watched this three times so far. Y’all are living the dream I missed out on with my first husband. Now I am alone and pursuing the dream. Currently saving for my first piece of land that will be mine. I am developing skills like you suggest. I am really good at gardening and dehydrating. I would really like to learn pressure canning and herbalism this next season. Bless y’all
Yes please a Great Depression cooking video 🤗🤗🤗
I would love it too!
Thank you so much for this video! We are in the "back to newlywed broke" with 5 kids on a 10 acre homestead. Seeing how far you all have come gives me hope and encourages the vision I've had in my mind for years. I remember my husband picking at me and saying that one day I would make bread from scratch. Boy, did I think he was crazy but he was right (thanks to Caroline's Breadmaking class!).
We have GG Roselyn, born in 1921 and still going strong. Love her stories, and wanted to get her story in the library of Congress.
I'm currently living with my fiance in our small city apartment that has a balcony which is filled with herbs, tomatos, peppers, and flowers in planters! We have big dreams to start our own homestead one day, thanks for all the amazing tips!
My husband just found y’all and has been sending me all the videos he’s been watching. We are planning to start our journey with a newborn. I really appreciate that y’all mentioned starting off in an apartment. We plan to start a small garden for the next couple years and then save money to buy a 1 acre plot with some small structure. I grew up on land, but my family made the mistake that they did a big jump without the abilities to be successful.
I so enjoyed this video. It is always inspiring to hear about someone’s journey. I have followed you for a few months now and I have learned so much even though I have preserved since childhood and I’m now 75. I grew up in the south but lived for years in Salt Lake City. I moved back to help care for aging parents. Now, I long for the West, just like you mentioned. I miss the mountains, even the weather, but especially the culture. Thanks for all you are willing to share with us. You have a beautiful family. Thanks also for interjecting your faith in God and the blessings you have been given.
What an amazing journey you have been on! I've also learned a lot from Jess at Roots and Refuge Farm who is always telling viewers to "Turn your waiting room into a classroom." Sounds like that's exactly what you did.
I just want to say thank you for enjoying and honoring each other! Such a joy to watch / listen to and learn from.
I so enjoy watching your Pantry Chat. I have learned so much from you two. I learned how to bake a descent loaf of bread, I finally learned how to can and have just learned lots of other little things. I'm so glad that you decided to start doing Homestead Family so that we can learn from your experiences. Keep up the good work!
I loved your story, your journey together as a family! ❤
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! :) HUBBY AND CELEBRATED OUR 50TH, LAST DECEMBER. :)
What a great story guys, i really enjoyed it. Its been a little over a year when i started watching your video's and started with Kombucha. After that i followed the breadbaking-4 days and i can proudly say i havent buy any bread since then! Now i have a fooddryer and a lot of jars, i make tinctures and salves and love everything about it! Your are my great input and inspiration and to be honest, i really want to grow and learn more, so keep going, lol.

I just bought 40 acres of raw land and we are so over whelmed with where to start. I discovered this season that our soil needs improvement because I lost all of my crop. I gre seedlings that were gorgeous in pots then planted in garden to only have them die. It’s important to me to not put unnatural products in my soil. We then bought layer chickens to end up with bad weather like heavy oomph 😂winds come through. We lost a lot of layers that would have been laying in one month. We also bought Cornish cross chickens to find out they don’t do well in Texas heat, especially this year with record heat. We would love to have any advice thrown our way because we are here to stay and want to survive.
Yes a Great Depression cooking video would be great.
Just found your channel. We are beginning homesteaders. Cant wait to learn more from y'all. What a blessing!
Sent this to my boyfriend as a "hey... this is a goal"😂🤍
Yes please more Grandma Jeanie stories! I love the stories the elderly tell ❤️ i made my first homemade batch of yogurt yesterday, it tastes so different to shop bought, i was so surprised. I strained off some of the whey too and im giving homemade lacto fermented lemonade a try ☺️ thanks for the inspiration guys
I would luv to let you know that you are a beautiful couple with a beautiful family. No only do you thrive but you share your God given gifts and time with the world to make it a better place. With all my luv and gratitude. If we could have more of your divine kINd on our sweet earth, we sure would have heaven on earth.
You guys gave a lot of Good information for those starting out
I have been loving for a couple of years, your video tutorials & chats but I had not heard your genesis story. About five years ago, I visited Bonners Ferry & truly loved the area. You certainly have four distinct seasons in your neck of the woods!
Thank you for quality information that is enormously useful for every level of "homesteading".
I love this video. What a terrific journey. My husband and I live on almost 3/4 of an acre but not a lot of useable area for gardening so we had to get creative in order to expand the amount of vegetables. We have thought about relocating to a bigger more open place but 12 of the 14 grandchildren live locally, so here is where we will make it work. I have really learned a great deal about canning in the last few years. Because of the virus my friends and I have been out of work since March. One friend put in a HUGE garden but has nowhere to store what she grows so she keeps bringing it all to me. I am canning and freezing it and will store it for her. Another friend is just learning how to grow food. It is exciting to help her learn. Oh and I have also baked a couple of bricks of bread. They became homemade breadcrumbs 😀. Thanks for another great video.
Hi Joe Davidson from Springfield Missouri just found this pantry talk on TH-cam and very interesting as I watch and listen to different people talking about gardening and homesteading. I guess the yard different types of homesteading I guess it’s off the grid where of course no electricity in all that other good stuff that goes along with it but then there’s a homesteading, where Like you guys are growing garden, cattle, and all that other chickens, and that goes along with farming but you are growing your own vegetables and canning them calling yourselves a Homestead family . Back in the 60s and early 70s growing up on my uncles farm helping him out Malcolm the cows AN going chopping corn put it in the silos and either wheat or oats leading them to the fallen then harvesting them in middle late summer and haying. I loved it all. Yes when I was doing a few of them things yeah I was sneezing and everything like that but I still love it my grandmother back in the 60s use the canned vegetables or fruit or whatever she can get her hands on at that time I learned a lot from her, but I wish I wrote the recipes down, now I’m in my mid 60s I’m starting my gardening in the backyard but not a lot of space like you were adding your second home button anyway I’ll keep watching you guys then we’re all the information and everything don’t let anybody talk to you out of what you’re doing here on TH-cam you’re doing a great job
I recently had a dream and the Lord told me to learn to live off the land. He showed me a video in the dream with a lady showing which greens(like broccoli, onion, turnips, etc...). She canned a broth with the greens and said it’s a soup starter and all we would have to do is add meat and more veggies. Another video in the dream was what to look for when buying land. Your channel is a wealth of wisdom and you freely share it. I think it’s more of a ministry in preparing for the last days. Thank you. I’m horrible at gardening but I use it as a learning moment. I’m getting better. God gives me visions daily and tells me what to do; like plant onion, clean off the dead leaves from the plants, pruning, cut a tree branch down for sun, learn to make soap 🧼 , make laundry soap, etc...Thank you for sharing what you do. Especially actually making things with medicinal value. God bless you abundantly!
This was so lovely to listen to! I actually listened over on Stitcher since that is easier when I'm doing chores, but I wanted to say Congratulations on the Podcast! And also that your family, your humility, and your willingness to teach are such an inspiration to me! I wish I had found you and your wisdom 20 years ago... some of the ways you raise your family would have been such a help to know back then! I hope the younger persons hear you and take your advice to heart!!
Thank you guys for sharing your journey! It is very inspiring to those of us who would like to join in on your journey! The Spirit of God is truly stirring in the land! May God continue to richly bless you all and your family!
Hey guys, thank you for the great videos. Miss Carolyn, do you have a cookbook, or a book on preserving?
Maybe one day!
My mother lives with me. She was born in 1924. She still walks about a quarter mile every day the weather is good. And drives to the post office to get her mail. (Way out in the country and very near home😀). She will be 96 in November.
We did a similar kind of journey not 40 acres but we lived in LA county we had 3 kids in a 2 bedroom condo that was 800 square feet we left 4 years ago and moved to Tennessee and got a 1800 square foot house on a acre since we have been here we put in a garden and fruit trees and built a play area for our kids trampoline, pool, swing, tetherball. This spring coming up we will be getting chickens I believe. I have dabbled in canning and dehydrating and now we are doing homeschooling because of the virus and I am now doing a lot of cooking it's a very different life from California. I am learning so much from you.
Thank you Josh and Carolyn! What a kind, generous couple you are! How helpful to encourage us all to start where we are at - a point that is easily lost when viewing those such as yourselves who are managing so much. I appreciate this chat and that you shared your journey. Keep on living healthy, happy and harmonious. Best wishes from the little island (blighty!)
Another great video. I don't think people can hear it enough that it is important to start slow and strategically. Enthusiasm takes over as it did with me and I still overwhelmed myself in the 1st year trying to do it all by myself.
Haha, we did too, but we crack it up to compressing a whole lot of lessons in a very short time period!
Wonderful video about your amazing journey! I have learned so much from your videos and classes about preserving foods and making rather than buying. My husband and I are in our early 70's, we would love to travel a path similar to yours but alas we are a little late in life for that. We have 1/2 an acre and have a few egg chickens and grow a good size garden . I do a lot of canning and preserving the foods we grow. If only we had discovered your videos about 20 yrs ago, we would definitely be living in a different place. Thank you so much for sharing as you do.
Thank you for sharing 🙂
May of 2022, my first view of this chat. Thank you!
That was my favorite video of all time with grandma. I love hearing the stories straight from the source. So much wisdom that needs to be shared. I can't imagine how you have the time for all you do. Do you hire farm hands or?
I'm thankful for learning from your videos. I've started to put into practice learn where you're at. I've started with chickens 🐔 and gardening. Each year I've added to my garden and making a food forest. Slow process, but fun. I've learned to can, dehydrate, buying meat and milk from a farmer. Thanks for helping teach these skills. I'm praying to get some land. Have a blessed day!
I'm so excited to have found you guys as I am from Athol, Idaho. This is our first year homesteading, and I'm excited to learn from your experiences.
Kinda late but how is it in Athol? I really had been wanting to move to Idaho but post falls area is really expensive. Was trying to look for somewhere my husband can commute to Spokane for his job.
Is there anything up that far north? I have 3 little ones who need at least a good church program lol
I'm just turning 58 this month. God has moved me from town living in WA State to the remote North Minnesota woods. I was able to get an old farmhouse with a large German milking barn on 8 acres for very little. I've only been here a year and it's been quite a time. I love it. I'm happy. I'm working my way to complete sustainability. I appreciate you very much. love Jill
Thank you for sharing your journey. We are not to far from each other I am in Spokane, Wa. This is the first year I have ever tried to grow anything and now we are doing a make over of our back yard to allow more food to be grown. We are buying this house unfortunately, I want to be out of the city. Our ultimate goal is 6-10 acres outside the city so I can have a larger garden and chickens. Health wise I dont know if we could raise animals much bigger than that chickens. However your channel has taught me to support local farmers and not the grocery store. When the time comes that is how I want to get all of my meat--local farmers. Be blessed and keep teaching!
I like how organized and methodical you folks are. Nothing you share feels chaotic. I’m interested in each and every topic you guys share about.
We are going from city living to raw land. I already can, dehydrate a little and garden. Learning everyday new skills! And both over 62+ . Looking forward to a new garden and a new life in the country.
Wonderful to hear your story!!
Thank you so much for all these great resources!
Thanks for the video. I have a contract on the house I have owned for 34 years. It's in a quiet little neighborhood with a tiny yard. Last year I started doing some hydroponic gardening and learned how to can and dehyrate. I close on the house in 5 weeks and will live in my motorhome in the area that I plan to move to until I find the right place. I'm looking for about 5 or so acres so my mother can move in with me. It will be just the two of us so I know us girls won't be able to do a lot of the physical work that homesteading involves but we plan to do what we can and build a network of others to supplement what we can't do. If there is a will, there is a way! Happy days!
Great story and lessons learned. Thank you for sharing.
This reflection on your journey is amazing! Thank you for sharing ❤️
I sure enjoyed this episode! Packed full of takeaways!
I love your videos and all the information you have. I have learned so much from you two. I'm excited that you now have a podcast. There are so many times that I'm on the road and want to re-listen to one of your videos and now I can!! Thank you so much!!
Love hearing about your history!! I so enjoy learning from u both! Thanks!
My granddaughter, who is 8, and I have a garden on our balcony!
Such a gorgeous video, thank you so very much for years of such great education love from Spain
Always a joy to listen to your story's, encouragement and lessons. Thank you so much for sharing!
Very cool to hear about the journey! It’s easy to think of you just as we see you now but to know of trials and tribulations brings the journey more into perspective. TY for sharing!
Getting ready to start canning. I've got to get a new SS pot because the one i have unfortunately i can't use on my stove. It's been slow to buying supplies because of limited income but once I get the right pot and the canning tools I'm off to Public Market to buy fruits n veggies by the butt load to have a Canning Party for sure. Lol, ya'll pray for me lol!!
Congratulations on your first successful podcast! I've learned so much from you both and I am glad that more people may have the opportunity to hear such valuable information. Thank you for all you share with us and teach us from your experience.
Thanks for sharing the journey. I’ve been watching you guys since 2017 or 2018. Thanks for all the inspiration!
I’m so glad I watched this… you two are great 💕 just found you on TH-cam here recently and so happy I did… I’ve learned so much already…
Thank You 🙏
Excellent flow to your sharing of your journey. This was very encouraging.
You two are living the dream. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks for share it’s a wonderful journey! I’m glad to be apart of it.
What a beautiful family!
Love hearing your steps along the way in your journal.
Love the flowers in the background.
Loved listening to your podcast while shucking corn!! Thanks for sharing your story.
Catching up with the chat 🤩 Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing your journey 😊
Great video thanks. We enjoyed hearing a bit of your story.
Thanks so much for sharing your journey with us. We too lived in L.A. working with the homeless on Skid Row and now live in TN (where I grew up). I’ve purchased several of your classes and watch all your videos and have learned SO much from y’all. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge in a concise and professional manner but in a warm, inviting way! You have truly blessed us!
Such a unique and interesting story. I hope that continue watching your progression
Thank you for sharing so much knowledgable information! This gives me and my wife such a better knowledge base to start with :D
I seriously LOVE you guys and what you do ❤🤗 I appreciate your advice and you sharing your life experiences. I'm a beginner but hope to reach our families homesteading goals. Blessings from Colorado
Thank you for sharing your journey with us all. Your family is an inspiration to me...it's what I always dreamed of. Keep doing what you're doing...It's making a difference!
Wonderful episode & thank you for sharing Grandma with us! My grandmother was a few years older than her but taught me so much I lean on today on our place. Loved hearing similar stories of their childhoods though the depression. Blessings! 🌻
I am so grateful that I discovered your channel. I've been a subscriber for a while, but I just recently started listening to your Pantry Chat playlist. A year and a half ago, my family had to move in with my mom, to a house I hate, with very little garden space and a teeny tiny kitchen. I have been so down about it because I felt like we took a huge step backwards, and I basically gave up on a lot of my from scratch cooking because it's such a pain to try to get it all done in such a tight space. But this video, in particular, has reminded me that it doesn't have to be all or nothing. I know there are some steps I can take to get us built back up again, so that when I finish school in 2 years we will have some of the skills we need to take that next step. Thank you so much for your willingness to share, you truly are a blessing to me and my family in our current season of difficulties!
What an amazing story.
You both have come a long way in your journey...one step at a time ! Awesome encouraging couple's video. You learned so much and are sharing so much more to help us( the community of earth ) now; learning skills and thriving. Thanks for your productive, real-life videos of the home-steading life.
Great story...thanks for sharing! You are an inspiration to me! 😊
You are wonderful. So hard working people doing the best for your kids. You are and inspiration 🥰.
Great video! Thank you for sharing.
Sounds hard but lots of fun!!! Thank you for the video!!!
Awesome, I love watching y'alls videos. I grewup.as a farm girl. So.I know a lot of the Grandma Ginny is the same age as my husband's grandma. I love listening to their stories.
Hi, brand new subscriber here! I am so thankful I found you guys. I’m so drawn to the homesteading life style. I have a small yard that I dug up last year for a garden. I planted quite a few things and it went mostly well, but it feels overwhelming. I’m excited to keep learning along with you and pray that the Lord continues to bless your family and all that you do ♥️
Lovely hear the back story. Thank you
Such a great story! Love it. Love to learn from you. I am so grateful you are willing to share. You are so blessed with the way you have raised your family . I have grandchildren and am trying to teach them some new skills. I am dehydrating , and starting to can again, and want to teach my family and friends. Thanks and may god bless all of you in abundance for sharing your time with us.
I have enjoyed your videos soooo much. I have always canned and froze all I could for our food but I’ve still learned so much from you. Love all you do. Love your videos. But especially I love your heart you put forward in each video. Thank you so much for all you do. God bless you.
love your vid's. bought your bread course it's been wonderful! I now make bread for my congregation ( those in need ) your vid's help not only those watching but extended others. THANK YOU !
This was a wonderful video. I am a big follower, but this really told us about your journey. Thank you
🌹 Awesome video! Very inspirational and motivational.
Much of my family ( my moms side), live in Northern Idaho! It’s so beautiful! Many have farms, a lot of acres, & beautiful! I live in Eastern Idaho!! It’s such a blessing living on farms and having fresh food sources! Many blessings to you, thank you for all you share, you’re so informative also.
My husband and I really appreciate your channel 💕 We all have our journeys and backgrounds that lend snippets of knowledge to our respective homesteading journeys. (I was raised on a horse ranch and farm with hs job as a female dairy milker for 363 head plus hospital herd; hubby was a logger and outdoorsman with fantastic automotive and energy source skills. We are in our early and mid 50's and grandparents. We are learning so much about gardening and amending our depleted soil on our new property. We have 160 acres, which is split into ag, (wheat and lentils), timber, canyon, and home stead. We feel so blessed, but we are tired also. We are really taking your Zones for Property development to heart. Your videos are very motivating, and we are so thankful for you both for sharing your skills including some of the lost skills of a by-gone era. God Bless you and your family ❤️! Thank you!!
I want to say thank you for doing these videos. I moved last year to start a homesteading journey and things were getting frustrating and this made me realize that I'm doing just fine and I need to enjoy my journey. Don't have property yet but I have been working on my cooking skills for a homestead lifestyle and it is so rewarding when the bread comes out good and not a brick. Lol think I cried after my second attempt didn't work. So I laughed at myself when you were talking about your experience. I thank you for that. ☺️
Wowza, you two certainly were on the right path early on... good job !
I hope that young couples watch this and take away the fact that y'all worked really, Really hard! You stayed employed as a man and provided until your experience and timing were right to know you were ready to go full time. I have heard tragic stories of daydreamers uprooting, which is the easy part, and not having the work ethic to make the dream come true. You both are a great example of how to pace your life and yet live so much there is no time to think about anything other than pushing forward with yet more hard work, God bless y'all
Amazing story!
Amazing!!!! Yahuah continue to bless you and keep you.
Wow thank you for sharing your story! It’s amazing how God leads us all❤️
I have to also thank you for the wealth of information and encouragement you guys put out on a weekly basis. There’s no price tag to put on it that would be high enough! Especially for homesteaders just starting out like our family.
Our family did a micro-version of that. We went from small town kids, to living in an RV cross country, a tiny apartment in LA, a small house in the city.. now we’re in the Cali high desert portion of your guys’ plan 😆 We’re itching to move to literally greener pastures at some point in the near future. One thing the high desert has got us hooked on is the views! Carolyn- I used to ride horses too and teach lessons...I still do in my heart lol
The similarities we share with you guys are too funny. We’re working on our garden and goats at the moment and never looking back. Homesteading is the life for us-God is so good! Take care guys and thank you, again! ❤️
I'm very glad I found your channel. Your advice on homesteading is priceless. I also love cookies, and I'd love to see your recipe for more healthy cookies if you can get around to it. Thanks for the helpful homesteading content!
I remember Great Grandma Jeannie..... I've been with you for years. You are amazing people. I have learned so much from you. Thank you... I only follow in youtube and the bread group. It gets a little crazy with all the other things.
