#Sustainable #StiversHomestead #FarmWithMe
It was your cattle panel greenhouse that gave me the courage to build mine last spring. Husband was impressed! Thanks!
I enjoyed this video. Liked hearing all about your experience. I am to old to start something like this but I always wanted to do what you two are doing. Be thankful you have each other that wanted to do the same thing. I am 73 but wish I was closer to you so I could possibly enjoy your farm. Congratulations for all you have done.
Do you happen to have a video of building the goat barn? We have a great little goat hut my husband built, but this fall it will be repurposed for the mama-kid area, so we’d like to build something bigger like what you have. Thank you! I so enjoyed this video. We are 18 months on our land, and about a year into our farm. Praying God will bless us with self-sustainability by Summer 2021! 🙌🏻☺️
Would love to see your merchandise line jen!! I have dry sensitive skin due to disease...cant wait! From Montgomery Alabama!
This was very informative. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you SO MUCH guys for your honest recount of ALL your experiences, this really helps! Love you both :-)
How much do you sell your flats and plants for?
Do you have a list of things you sell? ( I know you’re not shipping now) but I’d love to get an idea of what you sell to plan for when you start shipping! Love you guys. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You two are the cutest! Favorite homesteading vlog. So down to earth and I appreciate that. Keep doing what your doing love it!💚
You two are so cute! I really appreciate your willingness to share with us about your farm and it's profits. It gives us all better insight which is very important. I see so many people just jumping in blindly because they see the"Romance of the farm" but don't understand the work and expenses.
You two have the biggest smiles on TH-cam!!!! So happy to watch thanks for sharing!
Fantastic video. Love Love this. For me and my husband, we have 7 kids between us and 15 grand children so we Don't have any extra food out of the garden to sale. 😭💖 they come take it! But I t makes it all worth it. I love to see them come over, it's about the only time these days I get to see them. 😉🤗😎 not too dumb huh?
That's amazing. I have a garden too and it's all for my boys to enjoy. When they have kids it will be my pride and joy to feed them out of my garden.
It's great to provide for your family in this way... I just hope they help a bit with weeding😄
I went to the homeless shelter once, but I didn't get a dog. I did have a nice bowl of soup, though! Good to see y'all! 😉
Lol
I can’t get enough of you guys. I love your videos. Beautiful relationship and beautiful way of life.
Jen you mention selling Etsy, a lot of people I watch who were on Etsy, have now gone o:er to eBay because of some new Etsy rules. You might check that out closely. I believe it was on how much they were having to pay the company & how much the company was charging for shipping. Just want you to be aware.
Just love you guys I ALWAYS!!! GET A GOOD LAUGH OR TWO 😂😂
I just love y'all. You twos make my day.🤣. I just started my farm this year and I'm right there at the jumping off place at making profit. 7 goats, 20 chickens, 12 ducks, 5 rabbits, 4 quail, 4 turkey. And a massive garden. Loving what y'all are doing!❤️
Hey there Stivers 🖐 . This was a great video ! Lots of good advice . But when you were talking about u tube and subscribers liking Jens soaps and all making you $? You forgot the most important reason you have lots of subscribers.....because you're just genuine down to earth good folk ! Y'all don't see the lil things that endear you ....like your way of saying things , Jens ear to ear smile and the inter action with your children! All these things are a plus for people to want to subscribe ! Be blessed and favored Stivers !
Great advice. Enjoyed the video. Thanks
And y’all shine such a wonderful light on the fact that it doesn’t have to look like HGTV to be perfect! (Or to have your goats decide you look like food! 🤣🤣)
Great, great video! Walking through each area, talking about everything! Truly #100% great info.
Jen, you have a place to see what you sell? I'd like to try your goat lotions.
Lol. Those hosts are letting you know you're in their house!! Love ya!
Do. Not. Become a seller on Etsy. Their fees and listing fees take all the profit from your items. You will be better off buying a domain and making a website through Shopify or Big Cartel.
I just started watching your videos I love you guy's you are SO HONEST!!! Thank you for being so honest. I moved to my land 1 year ago I'm still studying the land it rains alot and when it's Hot it's very hot I'm planting trees so I could get shade, my land didn't have any trees I live in North Texas.
Thank you for sharing these details. Gives me courage.
Have I told you two lately that I love you? Your smiles brighten my day. Keep loving each other and never forget Who loves you most of all!
thank u for sharing divorce problems u guys r great!!!!
We hope to make $ on our homestead eventually
For anyone curious farmers WANT to break even. They don't want any profit because that's taxable money. Farmers, especially large-scale, will write off everything possible on taxes so they make no profit. Tax write-off examples are trucks, trailers, any "business" restaurant meetings, equipment, etc. So anyone who is looking into this life remember to don't want profits 😉
Another great video! Thanks for sharing the information 👍
Just a little advice...Try making your own website and don't use Etsy. I am a jewelry maker and Etsy just wasn't a good choice for many reasons. There is another TH-camr you may or may not know called The Holler Homestead and she makes soaps and salves much like you do and I think she would help you with info on how to make your own website. She is so very sweet and kind. Her business is called Bumblewood. Love you guys! 💖😊💕
You two what a hoot 😁 always a laugh
I’m just starting to look into local regulations to see about permitting and possibly selling products! I’m so happy for you and your success 💜
Right off the get pat! Lol yup I caught it 😂
😂😂 when I was editing I was like seriously? Why did that even come out of my mouth? Lol
Stivers Homestead I literally do that all the time! Lol I just film the same dang thing 5 times to get it right lmao
Very interesting channel I just ran across it.
giggling, smiling, head butting...this is why we love you. Serious question: *IF* you had to pick one land clearing animal right off the bat to pair with birds which first, goat or pig?
Great job on the video Zach and Jenn........and all you doggies, and especially all you goats who wanted to be in on the video......... lol...........I wish I was 30 like you guys instead of 65 and know all about raising a garden and all those animals.........I would DEFINITELY do exactly as you guys are doing!!! You have taught me so much about gardening and I thank you for it!
Jen, you are so beautiful. I just love you guys. Thank you for sharing with us all. 😊
The goats are wanting to be seen on You Tube, lol!
The best vlog I have seen about starting out. You break down every aspect. Excellent!
Stivers Homestead,Question which I am praying you have an answer to. I have either a rat, mouse or vole in my house. The house is almost 100 years old so there is plenty of holes and no way to close them all off. They demoed a house the street down and I got ( they say if you see one there are more) them. I live in the city and trying so hard to find away to get land in the country ( not allowed chickens here) sorry getting side tracked. The rodent is digging up my seed trays and eating the seeds or if the seedling have sprouted they are eating the tops off. I have snap trays, glue and even poison. They haven't touched any of them but have destroyed the pepper and herbs and other of my seed trays/ Any ideas would be a blessing. I have been starting my seeds for several years with never a problem till now. Thank you for the time and God's blessing to you and yours.
Try sprinkling red pepper on them...or put mint leaves
So proud of you for your endurance and success with all you do ❤️🙏 continue with many blessings 💗🙏
I cannot believe how far you have come since all this started..It is so amazing..❤❤ yay for etsy, I can't wait for that 🤞❤
Hey Zach and Jen, video was great. Gives us information that some of us probably really haven't thought about. Thank you so much. Take care God bless you and yours
Love the videos!
Jen talking about the fish was so cute!! She got tickled...love her laugh!
Great info!
Such a sweet couple... I just discovered your channel!! 💕💕🙏🏼🙏🏼💕💕💕
I am in Western Kentucky (near Paducah) and am just getting started on my channel. I would love to pick your brain sometime. I appreciate you and your channel!
WRT selling plant starts, we have 3.6 ppl/sq mile. Kentucky has 110 ppl/sq mile. Only one nursery can be profitable within a one hour drive radius.
But growing your own food is like printing your own money.
Farm fresh eggs sell like hot cakes at $3.50 per dozen.
Milking goats is on my mind to have.
Fantastic information! Makes me want my greenhouse all the more. All valuable information and sharing your lessons learned is invaluable ❤️
Nubian’s milk always tasted like Vanilla!!! LIVE Nubian milk!!!!-Kristy in Missouri 😀
You guys channel is going to blow up. Keep up the good content. Love your channel :)
What a great informative video. It's awesome the way you guys share information and there was a lot of information in this video. And the goats of course providing great comic relief. the butt goring was hysterical, can't help but love her☺❤ and then when she was there with her head between yours best thumbnail ever♡♥♡
You HELPED me out ALOT. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE you both. I love YOU . GOD BLESS YOU and YOUR SON & DAUGHTER. CHOW🀄🀄🀄💖
Absolutely wonderful and informative video! wish y'all would had been around when we started out. The animals paying for themselves and getting organic food is our greatest profit. My question was, do y'all use a cream separator for your goats milk to make butter? If so what brand? Blessings
Debbie-Texas. They do. They did a vid bout it couple weeks ago, but i dont remember the name. Sorry
@@roberttombrella6764 wow, thanks for the info, I can't believe I missed it. Blessings
I am curious how much you guys charge on y'all's plants starts? Asking for a friend. 😂
Lots of excellent info!!
Everything you need to know enjoyed this video the best
VERY informative video!!! Thank you. Be safe!
Y'all so happy. That's awesome. Green house will be my first project.
Great detail video always very good information ❤🙏
Good chicken episode. I have laying hens and a lot of new additions including those colored egg layers.I have french black copper marans a lot of cuckoo marans then speciality birds. BARNVELDERS, WELSUMMERS AMERACUANAS AND LEGBARS. check out mt. Healthy hatchery I have gotten very good birds from um. THEY were out of the olive eggers..will get em later....Lowe's has 7/16 OSB for 9.25 right now I got 20 sheets for my projects. Enjoyed the movies ya'll is movie stars 🌞 oh n i have RI Reds..light brahmas barred rock 1 leghorn . 4 Pekin ducks
Zach and Jenn....I have some crooked neck gourd seed that I would be glad to send you....water dippers. bpwls, etc....and much more can be made from them after they are dried and perhaps painted or left natural....just let me know....be glad to share....and by the way....you can save the seed and plant year after year....!! I enjoy your channel very much....God Bless...!!!
Best video ever!!
Needing one for milk...was leaning to Nigerian dwarf but I'm thinking Nubians 💚🌱💚
Absolutely loved my Road Island Reds. Funny looking back , while waiting for them to arrive , I was a bit scared. Haven’t found a horse that scared me but chickens freaked me out. But feel in love with the little yellow puffs. Ordered 15 and when they began laying I was collecting 15 eggs a day. Got crazy quick. Lol. Love you guys.
I love this video so so much! When ever we are finally able to get to Michigan (delayed cause of covid) and do get our homestead we fully intend to make money with it. It just makes sense imo.. we are already going to be doing stuff for ourselves, so why not do extra for profit and to also help others? I have so many ideas of things to do ranging from market, online, in person class/demo, maybe kids camps, etc. There are so many possibilities. There are several things ya'll are doing that we also had wanted to do, so its really cool to be able to watch your journey! So excited for your family! 💖💖💖
I thought of having three chickens for eggs but ....I've got 18 somehow 😲 I may need to sell my eggs. Hopefully it'll be a great venture. 3 dollars a dozen...organic nongmo...I've got Rhode island reds, golden comets and Isa browns....I ended up with one buff Silkie baby. Do you have any of those? It's a bantam and I'm not sure if she/he'll get picked on. All my chicks are two months old
Love your happy faces and how much you have accomplished using common sense and your creativity. Wish you the best in the future . Glad to see Jen smiling and well after the tooth problem. Happy Easter.🐐🐖🐇🐣🌻❤🙏
Feed here is 18 bucks each 40 pound bags. It's expensive here in Central Florida. We have 24 egg layers. Having to reduce our flock because we can't keep up with the feed prices. I sell eggs but doesn't begin to help.
Great video. Awesome info. Elsa and Anna are so funny. I love goats lol. Congratulations on becoming profittable. You all stay safe and well. God Bless Y'all.
I think Etsy would be good I shop from a couple of stores on there regularly
I'm thinking about 4 foot chicken fencing, the plastic non-electric kind They can fly over chain link right now, but I need them to be CONTAINED y'all! Do you think the electric part is key to keeping them put?
I love your family and the videos,been going back watching the old videos, I currently can't do much ,do to health issues, so your videos are my life saver,I have a calapsed lung and respiratory infections ,anyway God Bless you and your family and thank you for sharing your adventures ❤ 😊
Hi Jen & Zach!! Love your videos!! I have a question, do you have to have a licence to sell your eggs & chicks? I live in Ohio & have chickens. I sell eggs to friends & didn't know if I can put a sign out in front of our home. Would also like to eventually raise chicks & sell. Keep up the wonderful work. God Bless!!
I’m fairly new to your channel just shortly before the move. Thank you for this video testimony. So glad your family is staying together. Glad y’all have open heart & ears to God.
I started search for any Chanel about gardening in Arkansas. Living traditions was one I connected with which led to VW family farm which led to y’all & Jess & one other that name escapes me right now. Jess did devotions just other day about her goats being the calling from God. Gave me confirmation about how I live my life. So just wanted to share that & maybe you won’t ever even see this post but y’all keep doing what you are doing, loving each other & being great parents. Because it’s a lot.
You touched on canning and gardening that saves a TON. With your garden = less trips to the grocery store = $$$$. Thanks so much for sharing the #s, it's not done often. So glad I found your channel (from the dance challenge with Cog Hill Farm!!) Can't wait to see Jenn's homemade products!!! How long are the cattle panels on the green house?
I still want to buy some of your Luffa,,,,or some seeds,,,but they don't grow very well here in Ohio..
Hey guys!! Great informative video!! Question- what goat resources do you recommend for education purposes. We have a few goats but would love to learn more about the preventative measures we should be doing with them. Thanks so much!!
How much do you sell goats for? We live on an acre. I'd also like to raise rabbits again. I use to raise New Zealand Giants. May I suggest raising worms? Feed chicken feed. You can gather night crawlers after a rain to get breeding stock.
Have you checked into pasture pigs? A little smaller but alot more friendly. Just give them a wallow with some water.
Dang, I was with y'all 100%, right up to the 'find a dog you like and breed 'em'. Careless statements like that lead to the overpopulation of dogs we see in the U.S. and the millions of animals destroyed each year due to unnecessary breeding. To all who read this, please avail yourself of the local animal shelter or rescue organization when you feel the need for puppies. With all love and respect.
First time watching this blog I’ve been watching you guys forever Very educational starting a homestead in a nutshell awesome job I don’t know how I missed this Plant starts are they profitable what are the regulations on this
Waiting for the first fish 🐠 Fry 🐠🐠😍🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠👨🍳
I love you guys, always smiling and laughing..The funniest video I seen on your channel was, at your old place when you guys were taking out your compost toilet..I laughed so hard I was crying and almost wet my pants..Thanks for all you bring us..How much do you sell starters for? God bless you guys and your wonderful babies..
Jeannie
This was very good video. I think it's good to show how u can start out and don't have to b a millionaire. You both are very hard working hometown common folk.
You two are so adorable!! I wish I could get my husband to move to a homestead. I'm a huge gardener, but our town does not allow chickens, or farm animals at all in town. 🙁☹😕
Great video love it we will be doing land in the next year or so in Oklahoma and want to feed ourselves but if have surplus make some money at a local market...very very very helpful and I just love y'all..
I enjoyed this video. As I think about moving to my land, and supporting myself financially, I get anxious that it won't work out financially. This video eased some of my stress. Thank you.
Great video! I would like to see a goat hooves trimming video. Living Traditions Homestead has a great pig water/feed stand video you might like.
Just gotta say y'all are awesome!!! We are DIYers too and it saves lots of money!!!
I think the male Goats stink horrible not sure I could have a male goat
Do you get tornadoes where you are? And do you get heavy snow? Do you have poisonous snakes?
We built a 12ft x 7ft chicken coop last year with all reclaimed material!!!! Go to construction sites and look into their dumpsters!!!!! Also pallets!!!!
I’m so glad I found you! I already like both of you so much! Love all your animals!
Home canned goods are profitable, my mom doesn’t grow her pickled red beets she buys them from a local farmer and cans them and sells the quarts for like 5 or 6$ a jar which covers the cost of the beets, her time other ingredients and the jar, ring and lid... she also does tomatoes as well
Great teaching video! Thank you both so much.
Y'all are so cute! I loved this! Ha Ha! The bass don't need help breeding! LOL
Love y’all’s videos. Y’all keep it real!
Hope y’all have lots of success with all you do.
Fairly new at watching your videos but you Excite me to try please don't ever change I love you the way you are you 2 are great
