About:
Jason and Lorraine. In 2016 we sold most of our belongings and left the city in southern California to start a small homestead in the mountains of North Carolina. We left the city in search for a more minimal and intentional life. We became passionate about growing our own food and knowing what exactly is in our food after I (Jason) became diagnosed with cancer. Now 8 years in remission we as a family are on a journey to live our passions.
We document our life on TH-cam videos to inspire others to get out of their comfort zone and not be afraid of change. We started our own online general store where we have available the things we make and use in real life. Thank you for following us on this incredible life changing journey!

Handmade gifts, sewing, writing letters is a thing of the past. It warms my heart to see that you still give handmade gifts. Kids want electronics or video games and your daughter is thrilled to get an old school typewriter. Your awesome parents. Have a great evening.
You know you got mad skills 😂😂😂
Aren’t quiet holidays with loving family just the best? Lorraine, The skirt is lovely and red looks good on you.
Lorraine, You made your skirt! So cute! And I love the linen top! Great content! Love your channel!
thanks for watching! ❤️
Ariat makes great boots. We wear their All Terrain Water Proof boots around the horses. I am happy to see them give you some pairs!!!
I love my Ariat boots more than my athletic shoes. My husband does too. Plus they look great. Love your boots! Rhonda
Love the rack! I need something like that for making homemade spaghetti & noodles.
Loraine, microwave your eggs shells for 1 minute- add 10 seconds for more than 5 shells. This will sterilize them, then crush them in a plastic bag with a rolling pin or something similar to almost powder, then add to your garden (tomato garden) will prevent blossom end rot and in general improve tomato plant health. Also use for potato plants. PS...you can also bake them in the stove, about 20 min. and you can do the entire batch all at once on a cookie sheet or aluminium foil.
Plus give to chickens (shells should be crushed), sprinkle on garden and little wild birds will also eat them. Really helped my tomatoes not have blossom end rot!
Penelope is my spirit child. I was always in the dirt making mud pies. 🤗🥰
Me, too! And (not) surprisingly, I ended up with a degree in Soil Science!
I know what you mean about the weather. This time of year I usually don't know whether or not to look for a white Christmas. A few years ago I turned back from a drive to see my son on Christmas day because the snow storm I was driving in was so bad. This Christmas I went to visit that same son on a 60 degree day.
Thanks always for your sharing and zen.🐥🐥🐥❤️
Season's blessings and thank you for sharing.
I like the manual word processor. Enjoy.
Love your family, and watching you all do your "thing", sharing your faith and your homestead life. Love Bernice! Mostly thanks for sharing so diligently . i look forward to seeing you almost Dailey. Wishing you all a very blessed Christmas.
Lorraine, you made your Christmas skirt , it looks very cute!
Beautiful. Glad you had such a lovely Christmas. ❄️❤️❄️
Greetings from India to ur family. Its Just amazing to watch u being so creative.
Lovely family Christmas video,
Happy new year. This yr your wife taught me how to clean the glass on my fireplace. Never knew the wood ash trick have learned more wood ash tricks since. Thanks for your help and prayers for your family.
Lorraine , your skirt looks great!
Love the boots. Merry Christmas. Tell Penelope she can type her labels for the stuff she sells 😍
Hey instead of freezing your banana peels, throw them in the oven to dry them, then you can pulverize them to powder, put in a ball jar....saves space in the freezer !!
It was nice seeing all the Christmas cards! No, I didn't send you guys a Christmas card... I just sent a letter with packets for two varieties of squash seeds; some for your garden and a duplicate set for the Rhodes' garden. I asked you to deliver seeds to the Rhodes' because I couldn't locate an address for them.
Best wishes from a Kate in Olympia, WA.
We had a chest freezer when we got our first one but had the same problem as you. End up with an upright when we bought our second home.
Love the herb rack. Wish more children would be as excited to get a type writer as your daughter❤ Love watching the pig mobile build. I watched all the videos Justin sent. And good to know in the tools. Happy New Year to you and your family❤
Awesome drying rack
I use the small rubberized garden tubs INSIDE the freezer. They stay flexible in the frozen conditions. I use different colors for different frozen items. Example Yellow = chicken Pink = pork and Green = veggies They can stack if they are not completely full and can really make organizing those chest freezers easier. Called "Tubtrugs" on Amazon
Digging the Findlay hat my guy, I’ve got several myself! Your homestead is looking awesome!
Beautiful drying rack!! X O
good job on the skirt Lorraine! you look so cute!
Merry Christmas Bernice!
I love those Ariat boots! Lorraine’s skirt is beautiful! I found an old Kenmore sewing machine at goodwill back in the summer and I’ve been burning it up. Threw my Singer in the trash. Planned Obsolescence was not spared at the Singer factory! Happy 2020!
Love some ariat boots they make the most comfortable work/dress boots.
I was recently on vacation and went through Asheville NC... Stayed 1 night and day,It was beautiful. I live in Florida so we really enjoyed the mountains as we traveled. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and have a beautifully blessed New Year ❤️😊
Hey Sow the land, I use leftovers to feed to my chickens . They like the variety and it stretches the chicken feed for my layers. MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR. God bless.
I guess our chickens are picky. they don't eat the leftovers.
Jason for your water stream why not place a water pump in the stream attach a garden hose to it so you have water closer to your animals
I have been wanting to do that for over 3 years. Do you know how?
@@SowtheLand Dig in the stream a deep pit place a bucket in the pit place pump in bucket same as a sump pump in a basement. Placing screen wire over the top to keep the weeds from collecting in it. hook up solar power to it to run the pump when needed. if the ground is not frozen rent a trench digger place pipe below freeze line to your shed or best place to water animals with freeze free spout on end of water pipe.
😊 i am same text my husband to come in from garden or workshop so I don't annoy my neighbours telling across the Yard
My ducks love the black plastic too! Sounds like one of yours is a drake- just wait til they start mating on the plastic, it’s a little over the top!
Happy New Year !! Love your family !!
Lorain I love Your red "Madonna Inn" sweat shirt, we used to live in Atascadero which is north of San Luis Obispo CA. That really brings back memories, our daughter still lives there with our son in law and new grandson. Great drying rack Jason, I'll have to check your website to see if you have it available soon. Happy New Year to you and God bless all💞🙏😍
Madonna Inn is so cool! thanks!
I was digging your hat
Feliz Navidad!!!
you need to build some wooden flags to put in your store,they are the going thing now.
Happy New Year!!🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Neat little rack. I need to dry herbs this year.
I don't know why it makes me laugh every time you say " Bernice " it never gets old. Happy you guys had an awesome Christmas.
I love ❤️ red ❤️ those donuts 🍩 look Amazing 😉Lorraine I love ❤️ your boots 🥾 they look nice 👍
Stay from red food coloring.....cancer!
Thanks for passing on your love for Christ by taking the whole family to church.
Nice job on the herb rack. Where did you find a typewriter ? I thought they were obsolete. How fun Penelope is using one, brings back memories .Thanks for sharing
At Atomic. Where we have our store.
You guys are so funny I do that but I blend it in a Cuisinart first and wright worms on it I live in an apartment and we grow worms on our patio so I have a deep freeze full of warm food
Justin Rhodes says if you soak or wet the chicken feed before spreading it, you can feed the chickens 10% less. Also I think he gives his layers kitchen scraps. That was a nice bunch of eggs you got! Do the ducks ever lay eggs?
Good luck on your shelter/greenhouse!
the ducks are better egg layers than the chickens. thanks!
Those layers need to step up their game! lol!
When you yell hey Bernice, does she respond in a way that she knows you are talking to her?
of course!
Sow the Land that’s cute 😅
😆😆😆I made cookies ..I dont remember making them oh zucchini bread.. the treasures you find...oh the skirt looked cute works with the boots
Have a great evening 🌲🌲🌲
Thanks for sharing great video Happy NewYear
Merry Christmas from Quebec (Canada)
merry Christmas!!
@@SowtheLand thank you
Lorraine, I was wondering if the blue dress you were wearing. The one you had on when adding the drizzle to the donuts. Was that a pattern, or did you design yourself? Could you share the pattern, I love the look. The drying rack is a keeper for sure. Thanks for all you do. God Bless. Sherry
Pig Plan 2020. 🐖❤️
HAPPY HOLIDAYS to You Sir and Family, !! Can I go to your Web to order Tables Coffey & End tables ? And would that be the Christmas Skirt at 8:36 ? If so looks Fine , Very Nice !! Thank You for your Time !!
😍😍😍
Greetings from México San Luis Potosí l love you videos beautiful 🤤🇲🇽
I just LOVE Lorraine's herb drying rack! I must copy that for all the herbs I grow, if you don't mind? Lorraine is kind of like me with her food stuffs. I can dig down into the chest freezer and find all kinds of treasure! So let her know she isn't the only one! Penelope is just the cutest with her typewriter. After a hard day of typing, mud pie making is the best, right? Thanks for sharing your days with us all. Thoroughly enjoy each one! Shalom and Blessings from NE Missouri!
👏👏👏🕊
I buy Natures Organics for the egg layers as well -
How do you buy it in bulk?
Feed Co-Op. see link in video description.
Is it important to keep the drying rack out of the sunlight?
not sure. I don't think so.
Hey Jason , love the content. do you have a tip for noobies trying to learn how to start working with wood? Like a book or something like that. Merry Christmas people 🎄 !
TH-cam is a great place to search. Not sure on books. If you can look for a local college or high school that has adult wood shop classes. That's how I learned. thanks!
Sow the Land thanks ! Here in Puerto Rico is kinda hard to find that but I would definitely look into it. Thanks again.
Great video guys - Love your skirt Lorraine & Penelope is going to write a book I just know it !!!!!
I am very lucky as my husband is really handy & he will make anything I ask for or happen to mention to him like you do Justin. I have to ask though why do American people call them "ERBS" without pronouncing the "H" - like we say "Her - bs". Cheers Denise Australia
not sure. Never heard it said with the "H" before. 😊
@@SowtheLand Well for fun one time you should try it "HER-BS"
Glad to see you use safety goggles --you won't do your family any good w/ severe eye injuries.
Cleaning the freezer is always kind of an archaeological experience. Merry Christmas!
Another TH-camr keeps like with like things in reusable grocery bags in her chest freezer. Simplifies the looking for things and eliminates "where'd it go??" syndrome lol. She has a freezer inventory sheet that is helpful too. Her site is "A Peek Inside."
Is Penelope's typewriter an IBM Selectric? That is my all time favorite typewriter.
Y'all are such a sweet family!
Seems like sewing is a lost art. Back when everyone sewed.
yes, A lot of things seem like a lost art nowadays.
yellowdeer 7 warms my heart to see Lorraine sewing. My latest project has been baby doll diapers,
That skirt turned out very nice!
Art, like most things do get lost in the jumble of life, but it can be found again when necessary. Then it's just like new again.
Typing machine too haha.. I think they are cool, though
Lorainne ,the skirt look great. Amazing boots
Your skirt looks nice. I use to sew a lot when our children were young.
Lorraine is right! When you get the itch to sew, you have to sew! That's just the way it is. :-D
😃 #justsew
@@SowtheLand Exactly!
great video! a little bit of "everything"
Our best Christmas’s have been at home and hanging as a family....so cool for you and your family!!!
Love Loraine’s dresses! Maybe she should sell some in her shop or on Etsy! I know the feeling of the box freezer, when ours gave out we got a small upright on sale! Pig shelter looks great 👍
Merry Christmas ...Love the skirt....and the herb drying rack.
Very nice Drying Rack. Also was so nice to see your Daughter so happy to get a Typewriter. Having trouble spelling today so didn't even try. Ariat Boots bate great and with care will last a long time. God Bless and Peace Be With You All ☮️🙏💗
Hi...... Jason, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🐔🐓🐥🌱🎥👍👍👍
You can put the mud pies in the freezer too the pig will love them
Ginger - molasses doughnuts?? PLEASE, bring 'em on. . . That sounds delicious!!
Love the idea about the Allen wrench for the eye bolt. What a beautiful gift Lorraine is so blessed. I had to laugh when I saw her sewing on Christmas Eve I have done that before. This year is actually quiet here and that's what I was doing on Christmas day I was home alone as I didn't feel well but I did sit at my machine and was trying to figure out what I could make for some reason this machine I have wont do anything except straight Stitch . My good and sewing machine needs repair and it's so expensive because it's computerized. Belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I didn't even get to go to New Year's Eve church but I was thankful I was able to watch things on TV but you know there's so many things to be thankful for even in the quietness
Yaaay! You finished the pretty red skirt Lorraine! All's looking great on your Homestead, can't wait for for the piggies! x
“...no poopy tarps!” LMAO
Lorraine: another sewing thought: if you are going to wear thin cotton skirts and dresses through the winter, get some white flannel material, pre-shrink it, and make yourself a slip or lace-trimmed petticoat to wear under them. You will be much warmer!
Judith Chilcoat what a great idea!
@@julieb7068 Thanks. Various weights and widths are fairly inexpensive online at Fabric.com. Also printed and yarn dyed flannel. Great site. The stuff I mean is sometimes called baby flannel. (I was a theatrical costumer in another life and built most of my own clothes from my own patterns.)
You could wear leggings under your cotton skirts in the winter also.
@@Onegoodyarn You could....but a slip or petticoat is much MUCH prettier......IMHO of course.
What a beautiful gift for Lorraine! Yes! The snow is coming! I'm predicting lots of snow this year so get that fire wood & sleds ready! Woo! Hoo! Snow is beautiful!😊❤🙏❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄
You can make a list of what is in the freezer and keep it on top or inside. I laminated a piece of lined paper, so it made it easy to add or erase what was taken out. It helped a lot! Happy New Year!!
I never thought of using a Allen wrench to tighten eyebolts with. Great video as always.
Quiet Christmas at home for us too. Picked up 2 books on sewing & 1 beginner woodworking at the thrift store. Can't wait to make my end tables & potting bench.
.turn the blade backwards to cut metal
Hey Lorraine your skirt turned out nice.
Love watching you guys
I like the skirt you made looks good.
I'm loving this pig port project Jason. Lorraine that skirt turned out absolutely beautiful. Thanks again for all you do to put these videos together,
Jimmy
I love the Allen wrench tip. You always show the neatest things. May our Savior bless you and your family in the coming new year. I love sewing!! The skirt is pretty. I know the hot chocolate was the best!
You guys warm my heart & make me smile! And so does Bernice.
You all are just adorable, and they are without a doubt the best boots ever. I've had mine over 10 years.👢 Thank you for a wonderful year of sharing. Can't wait to hang out with ya in 2020!! God bless. 💖✌
We have 2 chest freezers and I have the same problem. Good idea saving scraps for future pigs 👍.
I like the mantra above the shop door ✊🏾 I’ve always said, “What’s the adventure for today?”
