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!

Sow the Land awesome my family just moved to north east Raleigh and want a small farm like yours. You definitely have a new subscriber and follower
My 1st time watching you I enjoyed ur video!!🌹🌹❤️❤️
Great video son you have come a long way Following your dreams you’re doing a awesome job and your a inspiration to many I miss you lots but I’m happy for you and your family doing what you love and are so happy!!! mom ❤️❤️👨🏼🌾👩🏻🌾👩🏻🌾
You have a lot to be proud of!! You have a hard working young family!!
Thats a 'goodboy'. You did 'good' "mom" growing up that boy!
Patricia Benavidez-munoz You did a good job. 👍🏽
This is such a sweet comment. It made me tear up. You are a great mom! I bet he misses you tons. 🌺💐💚
Be proud! I am so inspired by all hard work his done. Be always blessed and keep dreaming.
Everyone who does these homestead tours are so excited about the work they’ve done. They have a lot to be proud of. I can’t wait to do this when my husband and I buy property soon!
I live in a single mobile home on an acre and just starting a mini farm , glad I found a channel I can relate
I bought acre n half last month-- this is so cool to find a video like this, thanks man.
Agree, this is helpful!
I live in a single wide on an acre as well. I will definitely be following!
I like your veggie wash station good job 👏
they should re-use all that water.
👍😉
Wash station is amazing
Me too
I love your video, thank you.
During the depression, my grandparents bought a farm and lived off of it, they would use the creek or spring to store milk and other items that could spoil. I'm not sure how they did this, but i think it was just a simple cavity surrounded by rocks where they would submerge perishable items in the water to keep them fresh.
I love what you have done with your Land! We started out in our dream area -- but with about 8 acres. We wanted much more space. It turned out that every lot connected to us eventually went on sale and we bought them -- 5 in all! We found our bigger space right where we sat, and now have 35 acres. We built our own house -- I'm adding onto it right now -- and the next addition will be my woodshop. Like you, I am a woodworker (cabinetmaker for 20 years and owned a furniture company for 10), and can't wait until I have a shop to work in again!
If this place gets too small for you, keep an eye on the adjoining properties -- you never know when one will come up for sale! Now I need to search your videos to see your shop. Thanks for the tour!
This was one of the best homestead tours I've ever seen!
I agree. A new sub.
I finally found the perfect homestead channel in the exact position as me! I'm about to close on 1.7 acres of land, and put a single wide mobile home on it. And I plan on doing all the gardening and animals and water catchment that you guys are doing. It's nice to see an example of what someone does with the exact same resources available to myself
You are so mellow and enjoyable to listen to. Such a nice place you have built up.
I think your laugh is great!
I grew up in western nc , Hot Springs to be exact. Ran away when I was 14 to go see the world, now, all I want is those mountains...definitely beautiful
If one of your neighbors ever sells be sure to buy it.
I'm going to be buying a 10-acre lot later this year. I have a very clear goal and plan regarding trees and I need the room.
Hi Wes, we'd love for you to check properties. We sell vacant land up to 40 acres. Feel free to visit our website at www.landelevated.com! :)
love those wild blackberries more than the ones they sell at the store
My property has a whole lot too
I'm definitely building a veggie washing station
Thank you Jason, Loraine and Penelope, love following your journey and story. :)
thanks Thomas!
Your living the dream, thanks for sharing.
i was a farmer for 25 years in Western Australia now retired but i like watching off grid living and small acre farming on TH-cam . welldone to all
I agree! Starting small makes absolute sense to me, especially when moving from a suburban/urban property. Starting small means you can set up crucial infrastructure that won't overwhelm you and that you can, in the long term, sustain. But it is amazing just what you can achieve with one and a half acres! I loved this video and I love the way in which the information was presented. The pace was just right and I really appreciate your energy and enthusiasm. What a wonderful life you are providing for your daughter! PS Love the kitchen!
We have a pretty small homestead also (5 acres) and we've been AMAZED at all we have been able to do on such a small amount of land! We raise chickens, dairy goats and have 4 very large gardens with room to spare! Love your channel!
Kudos to you for starting small, I'm starting on a third of an acre in an HOA, not ideal of course but I have lots to learn before biting off more than I can chew. Just like you guys I have a desire to be successful at this endeavor, and don't want to do nothing while I'm waiting to get a bigger piece of property. So for now I feel blessed to learn and my small little space 🌻
LOL my "homestead" is currently my back yard, which is about 200 x 60 feet! But I've got 12 potato plants going strong, plus a bunch of buckets of veggies on the deck, and plans to put in a fence, get a dog, and eventually chickens. Why not? Start small and learn how, then trade up later.
@KCMG Farm ,
The longest journey in the world begins with the first step ..
Learn as you go and eventually you will arrive at your destination. One step at a time.
I’m right there with you. Our 800sqft house sits on .16 acres. 2 yrs of container gardening to grow something. Next year we’re putting in 2-4 small raised beds to grow more food in. My dream is to have a small self-sufficient homestead. Glad to have found this channel.
Bloom where you're planted, I always say!😍
Amen! my is has been "homesteading" on about an acre for years. God willing many more to come. We feed a family of (9)
I wish more young people would live like your family does! Back to nature, back to family-centered life. Much more peace and connection. I love that you incorporate your Daughter to duties as well. Teaches good learning skills. Loved all your hand-made items! I like to recycle things. I even make bird houses out of cleaned and washed Detergent Buckets. They hold up really well and the birds like them. :)
Ya'll have such a super positive attitude! Love seeing families being happy together!
Love your property! That could be my forever homestead. lol
When I worked in China, we left Shanghai and visited the country side. We are at the a restaurant that cleaned their dishes in the creek also. We didn't know that till after we ate there. LOL.
Your husband is an artisan! Lovely repurposing of old wood shown in the inlaid wood patterns! These pieces you will treasure long into your senior years (assuming you live in this home that long!)...congrats on a job (many jobs actually), exceptionally well done!
thank you!
The combination of family life and the wholesome togetherness that comes from a shared world view, closeness to Mother Nature, simple living, sustainability... is a wonderful thing to behold 😀🙏
Thank you for the tour of your homestead.
It's great to see what people are doing with a place that is bigger than 1 acre, but under 5 acres. Fantastic!
I love your veggie wash station idea guys! Very cool!
That is one of the best ideas I have seen in a long time. Very smart.
Found your channel watching Justin when you were building their greenhouse (beautiful I might add). It is hard to believe you weren't always a wood worker, Your so creative. Thank you for this tour, sharing a look at your home, garden, chickens and beautiful land you are rebuilding...have a Blessed day.
you guys are awesome and truly blessed i love following your journey it warms my heart
Loved the tour! You guys are wonderful, thanks for inviting us on your journey!
Love how you utilize your space and recycle items for different use !
Beautiful property. Jason you are an amazing artist. Love the kitchen. Wood work is amazing. Love your videos. Thank you for sharing.
Your home is beautiful! Loved the tour!
so many people dont realize exactly how much you can do with a small acreage!!! We are still dreaming of owning our own mini farm, and working towards that goal!!! We love following others who are "there". it helps keep that dream alive
Thank you for taking us around your homestead !
hollow out a small section of the stream for a plunge pool. x
This video makes me feel like packing up and doing the same!
I would dig out a pool area in the creak. Just dig it deep and it will fill and continue running along. Love your place, keep up the good work. God Bless You My Brother.
Thoroughly enjoyed the tour!
I love what you've done with the property and your home.
Jason you are a master craftsman. Beautiful home.
I thoroughly enjoy all of your videos and I thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge and experiences with us!
Lorraine, you're so lucky that your husband is not only handy, but a talented carpenter as well.
Y’all are such a joy and inspiration to watch!
Every thing is open. I can see everything. This style is my favorite.

If anyone has a problem with the “meatbirds”... Those are the best treated meat birds in the world... I’m jealous and would trade 4 weeks of paradise for the lifetime of misery I experience everyday.
Cool video your home is gorgeous!
Their area looked cramped based on how many of them there are :(
That’s what they’re here for.
You have the most beautiful and efficient homestead on TH-cam. I just love it!
Nice family and beautiful homestead. Great effort brought you a nice little paradise.
Your family is so inspiring! Thank you for sharing your journey.
Wow, this is just great, starting small and with God's Grace, you never know what it will be tomorrow. You've got a lot going on, doing your own construction of your home, growing your own food, very ambitious. Blessings to you, guys. Great inspiration.
I'm so happy for you and your family, welcome to WNC , I'm also here nice to meet you neighbor.
Terrific progress. Admirable!
Great job utilizing your space and resources.
Your home is beautiful, your homestead! You've got the whole package and it's awesome! God Bless you!
Great work on your homestead. I love the positive comments here. I think this is a more natural way of life.
So beautiful. I’ve watched this videos for at least 5 times, so inspirational.
The most luckiest person's to live in surrounded by nature all around . The best part I like the most is the creek .
Wish you all the best .
How wonderful! Just 1.5 acres and look at all you have accomplished so far. You give me hope for starting small, if I can just find that right piece of land with not too many rules about what one can and cannot do, build, raise! Thanks for the tour!
8-12-19, Jason, wife, & daughter, this is my first time watching you're video you and you're wife seem to be very nice people, just like cog hill farms, and life on beagle road, so I'll be starting to watch you more often, good Luck, & god bless you.
Mr. Jason & family great stuff and it is good that you can build stuff needed for the homestead.
What a wonderful video💖.Thanks for showing me around.
