A little 6inch by 12inch board in rabbit cage would help rabbits from sore feet.
What an amazing dream home 🥰😍 I wish I had done something like this in my youth
It looks like the rabbit hutch is wire placed right upon the grass, which would substantially soften it.
Wow!! What a beautiful layout. We bought 5.25 acres last year and are working toward a full homestead. Seeing your property gives me lots of ideas. Cheers!!
Hello Duyan,
It sounds like you may be from the UK? I've been there a couple to me so I enjoy meeting people from there who are also like-minded😊
Also Michigan homestead here. I love this. Great job
You’re lucky that you get rain for green grass everywhere. Arizona homesteads aren’t so lucky even in the north which is at least a little better.
Hi from Clare! We're planning our homestead now, thank you for this!!!
The wood chips strip the soil of nitrogen. You might want to add blood meal to the plants every few weeks and water in. It will make a huge difference in your health of your plants. You have a beautiful place.
that is only true if you mix them into the soil. If they are left On Top of the soil, they decompose nicely, creating soil. It takes time and patience, but our garden area was 100% sand, and this is how we are creating topsoil
Awesome homestead Beth! Thanks for the tour. Our family is in the process buying land- this video gave me hope! Im dying to have a dairy and meat cow, raise our own poultry & pork. Your house is absolutely gorgeous. I love the old farmhouse. God bless your family!
What I like about your video is you actually show what you’re talking about. Really makes it way more interesting. 👍
Glad you enjoy it!
Very nice homestead. You can do a lot with 5 acres
I love watching you chase your dreams and only wish I was brave enough 😊
Beautiful tour of your homestead!! We also live on a 5 acre homestead and this was very helpful to help me brainstorm on what is possible on our homestead. Love the drone footage as it helped to visualize it better. 🙌🏻
Glad it was helpful!!!
Great to see a well maintained organized homestead. hats off to you.
Michigan is a very special and spiritual place
Your homestead is PERFECT.
Love the tour. I was born in the thumb. Don't think people realize how beautiful the country side is in Michigan is. Love the video
Howdy fellow Michigander! You have a beautiful farm! 🥰🐔🐷🐰🌱🚜
Sheesh, you guys HAVE been busy!! What fun. You are truly blessed. Remember that ❤
Absolutely will 🥰
What a beautiful homestead! You’ve made amazing improvements. Looks beautiful. Val C
Beautiful homestead! Looking forward to seeing it grow. Thanks to Bri for introducing you! 😁👍🏻💖
Welcome! So grateful to have you!
Wow, this is a picture perfect property. An actual old farm house on a nice flat piece of land with a barn and out buildings. Not too big, not too small. So nice
Thank you! We love it!
It's wonderful to see you and your family doing well, I can't farm, the senior apartments don't allow growing produce on our patios or decks
Im an old ugly disabled guy chucking all this having bought 1/2 acre year ago, North. (Selling my house in January). Got it cleared brought electric in; culvert and will build a proper green house Spring to live in until the shop is built then a house ... I dont care if im living in a tent come March, I will start beds. The winds are changing self-reliance the rule more than ever.
Wow I LOVE your homestead! It's laid out so well so that you use every inch. Your processing room was a stroke of genius, I know you must use it a lot. You needed the huge house on it for all those children! I'm betting your place was once headquarters for a much larger farm. I was raised in Michigan mostly in Lapeer County and lived in that area until I was 29. That was 1981 and I had just graduated from Mott Community College Nursing program as an RN. We m9ved to Texas then as my then husband had lost his factory job and was paid a lump sum as they never expected to hire him back. We moved to Texas because I could work as a graduate nurse there and we needed an income as we had a daughter. I'm a Texan now and love the state though I miss having a garden due to long, dry summers and millions of grasshoppers. The only way to have a garden here just about is a greenhouse. I wish you all of God's blessing on your project and much success!
Thank you for the sweet comment! I don’t know if I could do Texas heat 😅 Michigan girl through and through!
I’d love to see more of the garden!
Here’s my tour from June. JUNE GARDEN TOUR! Michigan homestead, Zone 5, Big family garden
th-cam.com/video/f_cqXxh-woM/w-d-xo.html
I’ll have another one soon!
Hello, another Michigan home bound grower here also. My husband and I bought our farm just outside of our town we were living in June 2020. We have been working our butts off making this farm our own. 3 years here and so much more to get done. We have milking Alpine Dairy Goat's, sheep, gardens, orchard, meat chickens, laying flock. I make goat milk beauty products, we do raw herd shares, we are in the lower south east area. We have put up a small barn, we were full wooded when we bought our property. I just love your lay out and so happy your video showed up on my feed. From one TH-camr to another. Till next time God Bless
Thanks so much for visiting!! Sounds like a great set up there so far!
Wow wonderful place. Hi Beth, thanks to Bri for introducing another homesteader to explore another gardening experience,love your videos
Beautiful homestead!
Oh my, girl I have missed you. I haven't seen a video of yours in years. I feel like you just had or were pregnant with your fourth back then. You had one of the first large gardens I saw here. It was lovely just like your current garden and I was hooked on gardening. I still don't garden much lol. I just enjoy the eye candy. I'm so glad your video popped up for me. Everything looks beautiful.
Aw thank you so much!! 🥰
Those aerial views thooooo 😍
Mid Michangander here. This my dream property.Thanks for the tour!
I just baught 7 raw acres in Burt MI. Thanks for the inspiration!
Wonderful video Beth 😀
What a beautiful homestead. Thank you for sharing 🧡
This is just amazing. Thanks for sharing your Homestead with us, really helped me wrap my head around what is cable with 5acres... really helps our decision making process as we are trying to get out of the city. God bless!
Glad it was helpful!
We're starting a 4 acre homestead near Hastings, MI so this video is super helpful!
This was such a great video! Y’all really have maximized your space very well! It’s so spacious!! And of course beautiful as well! 💛
Thanks friend!!
It is nice to find another Homesteader & TH-cam creator. I saw you on your guest appearance on Bri from Scratch. Isn't she the greatest. I've followed her for years through many of her struggles. Life can take it's toll on us at times. I'm so glad to she how she has grown stronger through the storms of life. My prayers 🙏 are for God to continue to produce excellent fruit in her spirit as she walks with Him in the gardens & seasons of life.
I look forward to getting to know you & your family better now that we are acquainted. See you in your next video. Blessings abundant to you & yours.
So happy to have you!!
Thanks a ton. Excellent job 🎉. This was among one the best verbal tour so far. You broke down each section wonderfully…while explaining and sharing future plans without loosing focus on staying on track. I just came across your video. I’m so glad I did. Great layout. Pammie from Chicago Illinois
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a beautiful homestead and tour!
What a lovely place to live. Popped over, and subscribed after seeing Bri share your vlog on her channel.
Awesome! Welcome!!
Congrats on such a beautiful homestead to raise your family!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful, we are big porch people!
Hi Beth,
I think this is my first visit to your sight. I'm grin West Michigan, grew up in Holland but now am an hour north. Only half an hour or so from Lake Michigan.
LOVE your homestead!!!
I'd love to see your cold storage as well, but I do thank you for this lovely tour. Do you use the woodchips only for your walkways, or mix them into your plant areas as well?
Thanks so much,
Nancy
Hey Nancy!! Wood chips just on walkways for me and some perennial spots!
Love seeing your homestead tour! I just found your channel and am so excited to stay connected! It’s beautiful and you’re giving me so many ideas! Thank you for sharing this!
So happy to find you all. Southwest Michigan gal here and I love seeing this so close to home. Its my dream property! Thanks for sharing. If you ever need a volunteer farm hand please let me know! :)
Aw hey neighbor! Thanks so much!!
Beautiful farm and farmhouse! I especially like the processing room. We have a dairy herd and only my kitchen to process the milk. Would like to see what you have done with the barn. We have ugly but useful metal outbuildings, but just a shed for the goats.
I stayed home and raised 4 kids, now I do wish that I had had a few more.
I came over from Bri’s channel. I am from West MI and look forward to watching your farm and family grow.
Thanks for coming!!
We have just decided we are going to move to Michigan for our homestead upgrade. We have a small place in an expensive state and are ready to swap it for more acreage since we have outgrown our current spot. Looking forward to watching this video on your lay out. We have been homesteading on a little under an acre and would feel spoiled for space with 5 acres😊
Yay!! There is a great homesteading community here in all parts of the state.
@@intentionalhomesteadingmiThanks great! We are looking at the UP. How are the summers in Michigan? It never really gets warm where we live now, we would enjoy a little more summer warmth 😊
So beautiful I dream of having a homestead for my daughter and her family someday
Thank you!! I pray you can too!
That is a lot for 5 acres! What a great homestead!
Thanks so much!
Beautiful Homestead
The barn is fabulous and your gardens are amazing!
Michigan Garden Girl

Thank you for a tour! It looks perfect
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video Beth. I have a big garden but no property, we live in Gladwin.
Beautiful property...Beautiful family
Thanks so much 🥰
More about what you grow please. I’m in love with growing vegetables. I don’t eat meat.
Love your homestead. I am in MI as well and have begun building my homestead.
Thanks so much!! Congratulations 🙌🏻
We are also in mid-Michigan! We *only* have 6 kiddos though. 🤪 I came over from Bri’s channel and am binging on your channel lol. Thanks for sharing! I’d love to see a farmhouse tour!
Only 😂❤️ welcome!! I’ll add it to my list!
Wow, that was fabulous. I just happened into your video but it was really cool! Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful space, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Our guardian dogs name is Samson too. Neat. You have a nice place.
Aw love it!! Thanks for watching!
Please, please consider the rabbits’ feet.. they really shouldn’t walk directly on the wire because their feet are really sensitive and it hurts them. It’s so easy to hurt animals that don’t complain.. but they feel the pain nonetheless. I realise it’s much easier to have their droppings fall through the holes than have work to do - but you could put boards down for them that are easily removed when it’s time to move them onto new pasture, and just brush the droppings off and replace them. Just an idea for a solution but please do come up with a solution that will protect them from the painful situation that they are currently in.
Thanks for a wonderful tour of your home ❤
They have resting mats! 🥰
WOW what an awesome place!! Following from Oklahoma 👋
Coming over from bri enjoy the video looking forward to see your new garden develop my favorite part is the 😅 hostas and fruit trees.
Thanks for coming!!
Hi Beth, thanks to Bri from Scratch I now know about your channel. You have a beautiful homestead. Will enjoy watching your videos and I subscribed. 😊
Welcome! So happy to have you!

Hahaha.. welcome!! So grateful to have you!
Oh cool mid Michigan wow I am in northeastern Michigan! Don’t know if I told that or not! 💒✝️🦌🏡😂🙏✅👴🤠❤️
Beautiful!!! Love it!
Thank you!!
Great Dogs ,,,,,,,👍👍👍👍👍👍
WoW! Your property is absolutely gorgeous! We actually used to live in Michigan. We lived south of Lansing on my mom and dad's old property. Our oldest son lives there now. We moved to Wilburton, Oklahoma last year at the end of August. We have 12.54 acres down here in Oklahoma at the base of Panola Mountain. I just love the layout of your property. We aren't living on our property at the moment, as I don't have a vehicle right now. However, we will be able to get out there here pretty soon so we can start building up our brand new homestead. We will living off grid on our property once we move onto it.
I do have a homesteading channel here on TH-cam. Please feel free to check it out. It's a fairly new channel. I'll admit, I didn't do much with it when I first started it. However, now I'm working on it all the time. So please check it out. I subscribed to your channel, and I will visiting your channel and watching you guys as you continue to build up and work on your homestead. I hope you will check us out and follow us our homesteading journey as well.
Hi . I've come over from Bri channel and subscribed. 2 video watched. Love your homestead. You csn tell slot if thought was pit into your set up. Ilk go binge watch and share . Have a great dsy hugs
Welcome!!

Good Video!

Very nice butchering, catch all space.
😅 thank you!! I’m so grateful for it!
New sub from Texas! ❤❤xxoo from Bri's channel.
Welcome!!
Glad Bri shared! New subscriber here.
Aw welcome! Grateful to have you!
Please plant some trees on that huge expanse of grass, where possible.
i am also in central michigan. close to the manistee forest.. how do you deal with the winter.. i noticed you do not have a green house as of yet. or do you just stop growing.. and i cant beleive you said 400 feeder chickens.. wow..
Hey neighbor!! Nothing major in the winter. Layer chickens of course, breeder rabbits and milk cows is about it.
11:05 400!!! Does your family use all those? You also raise pigs and other meat? My goodness, how do you eat all that meat? That is more than one whole chicken a day.
I am actually really interested to know what a week’s worth of meal planning looks like for you guys, maybe I am vastly underestimating how much food we need to supply for our family of 8. If you do a video on your meal plans it would really be appreciated 😊
We keep 100 chickens and sell the rest :)
Usually 100 chickens, 3-4 pigs, 1-2 deer, and ideally a steer is good for us for a year
@@intentionalhomesteadingmi Oh ok….that makes much more sense! I was thinking you guys must really have a lot of chicken based breakfast recipes 😂
Nice homestead
Thanks so much!!
Hello! What trees and perennials are in your orchard? Thanks so much!
Hey!! I did a full tour/video of that here! th-cam.com/video/_thLg5ey_uU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=stsCXBWVhXH2-sLd
Watching from africa
New subscriber from Mason! 👋
great tour, seems more like 10 acres. So your gonna harvest rabbit? to eat? Arent there "bigger" meat bunnys ?
looks like a very big 5 acres...........
Hi! Saw you on Bri’s channel and came over and subbed. Beautiful homestead! I grew up in mid Michigan (Montcalm County) but now live in Indiana. Are you all from Michigan originally?
How funny! That’s here we are!!
I’m born and raised in GR - hubby is from Ohio
@@intentionalhomesteadingmi oh my gosh, what a small world!!
We had (mom still does) an Edmore address with a McBride phone number. Most of the family/extended family was in Edmore, Cedar Lake, Blanchard and Six Lakes. Now a days we are spread near and far all over the US.
I’m hoping to get back up sometime this week as I have a bunch of basil and other herbs that I started to give to my cousin and they’re beyond ready to be transplanted or at least up potted again.
Have a wonderful day!
Looks good guys! How's that new truck treating you?
He loves it!!
I bet he does!
Are you concerned about the corn field being crop dusted?
Concerned? Kinda. Thankfully, they haven’t the past 4 years we’ve been here (except at surface level during the initial planting).
In a perfect world no one anywhere near us or our food would ever spray poison. But I can’t control the world. So I just try to focus on what I can. ❤️
what about security?
Hi Beth and family. I saw BRI'S
VLOG. I am in S.E. MI. right off
I-75. Do you have a P.O. BOX.
You have a beautiful homestead. You put in a lot of love. GOD BLESS YOU and YOUR FAMILY ❤️💜 Thank you for sharing..
❤
Hii I am indian
Beautiful homestead and great progress! Hello from fellow homesteaders in your neighbor state of WI! 😊
Why eat rabbits!! 😢
Why not!
Highly nutricios meat.
I could bet my life that you're all Trump people.
So
I want to watch your work, not your face
Wouldn't live in michigan, if they give it to me.
🤣 thanks for your comment!
