Never Ending Harvest

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ส.ค. 2023
- Summer harvest is in full swing, and we are getting things preserved and put away for winter eating. Tomatoes are turning into tomato jam, peppers are turning into hot pepper jelly, and green beans are getting canned as pickled dilly beans and fresh canned green beans. A busy summer day in the kitchen means eating good this winter!

Please tell grandma I said "Thank You" for her brief appearance... I understand her being camera shy... Her sitting there and snapping beans reminded me of my mom, that was her favorite job. I appreciate that warm memory...
These scenes reminded me of visiting my grandparents in the summer ... if seemed that if folks came to visit, all were were either shelling peas or snapping beans while chatting away.
I totally get it, this brings me a wonderful memory of my grandmother snapping beans out on the back porch.
My great-grandma made tomato preserves, yum! Didn't taste like tomatoes, but sweet jam.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I just love guys and y’all family y’all remind me of my family when I was growing up we y’all had to help around on the garden that my dad planted and I loved it now I can all the time one of my brothers did to but he pasted last yr but I just love doing it
As a grandma gardener I have learned that prior to any big rain.....pick your tomatoes that are blushing. Let them ripen in the house. Better than having them split.
It always tickles me to hear Meg say "Bye" so cheerfully at the end of the videos (... and now Buggie) after she's been working from sunrise to sunset. Can a woman maybe 30-40 years her senior say "When I grow up, I want to be just like Meg Hollar!"?
I literally just told my husband that and I'm 51.
Thank you for not going to the dark side.
Love that you are keeping your channel a real homesteading channel.
So many others have gone more corporate or a look at all I have!
Keep up the good works.
That's exactly how I feel.
I've as topped watching popular channels, some are friends of the Hollars for those same reason. If I wanted to watch their hired hand work...
*stopped
Me too.
I’m going to name names here. The 2 that bug me the most are the “ Fit Farmer”, they have become a “ holy roller” ochannel. Not that I care if they are religious but that’s not why I watch homesteading.
They seem to always be away from their homestead at talking engagements. And just from the little they do show of their homestead nothings getting done. No weeds should ever be 6 ft tall in a maintained garden.
Then there Justin and his family.
They spent months clearing a small space for grazing. Over 100 days, only working an hour here and there. Then bring in the hired men to clear a huge area in just 2 days! Well that’s time we’ll never get back.
I’m sorry the kids keep getting hurt or sick but man that family sure does talk a lots about all their medical issues.
They do so little actually homesteading that even the big greenhouse has almost nothing planted.
I don’t begrudge them improving their home but I think they have lost sight of how they got to the point of being able to do all that. It’s because we have kept the financially going. By our likes and views.
Now that they have pay to play it’s almost like we have been forgotten…it’s quite sad.
Your Mimi must be so proud of you, Meg ! Y'all rock the homestead life !!!!!!
Can I wish Buggy a very happy 3rd Birthday - my goodness how those 3 years have flown and what a beautiful little person Lilyanne is (I hope ive spelt her name right)
Sending love to you all xxxxxxx
Your grandmother don't look old enough to be a grandmother. Watching her snap greenbeans reminded me of my grandmother. It is also nice to see everyone working together to make short work of jobs. I also like seeing a husband who isn't afraid to help his wife in the canning process, you two just feel my heart with joy. Love your content.
Grandma has to be so proud of watching Meg can all the harvest!
I understand we have to preserve it or lose it this time of year but take some time and enjoy Meme.
Happy birthday Buggy!!! The cutest 3 year old on TH-cam.
Just discovered the Hollar Family recently; now I'm a fanatic about all of you and binge-watching every day. I so admire you and your family and the life you have chosen. I grew up on a farm and loved it tremendously; however, you are a fine homesteading crew! I finally tried to bake bread like you do; after 60 years, I can finally bake a loaf of bread and I make killer buttery soft biscuits like my mother did...finally. I cannot get my loaves to brown, even with the broil on high. My family has fallen in love with the bread. Thank you, thank you, Meg!!
Welcome to the Hollar fans; glad you found them and the comments section.
Meg you are an amazing woman. Your children shall rise up and call you blessed. Truly a Proverbs 31 wife and mother 🙏🏻💕🙏🏻
Abbondanza is the Italian word for abundance which is what comes to mind when I see those baskets full of the beautiful produce you’ve grown. I love seeing the whole family helping Meg in the kitchen. It’s a lot of work but it fills the pantry with abbondanza! ☺️
Meg and Ben, you have absolutely no idea how much enjoyment you give your viewers !!! I feel confident in saying your combined family values and work ethic displayed in every video is a blessing to watch!!! Thank you for sharing your family with us !!!!
Watching you two work together is very beautiful. I have never had that with my spouse. I love watching you bring your kitchen alive over and over again. Great to see your grandma, I bet she is loving it there. Great video. God bless
You guys have such a beautiful relationship with living a life of homesteaders.
All of you work HARD…however, NO ONE WORKS HARDER THAN MEG!
When canning season is over Ben you guys owe Meg spa day.
I think your family, is by far, my absolutely favorite homestead video to watch. Thank you so much for sharing.
Always happy to spend a day in Buggy's kitchen! Especially when there's Halla-pene-lows! Good heavens I'm gonna die from the cuteness overload! 😁😍 Glad you had a great visit with your Grandma!
I'm so glad you're back !!! I hope you're having a wonderful visit with Mimi 💕❣️❣️ That's so nice that she is helping process your bountiful harvest. You're the best Mimi ❣️❣️❣️
Little Meg Singin'!! She's learnin' to "slide" her notes. That's where a lot of the feelin' comes from. It comes from her heart. I'm not sure you can really teach that, certainly not at her age anyway. They either have it or they don't. ❤❤
So glad you’re enjoying your time with Meg’s grandma😘. There was an unbelievable amount of crop preservation going on in the Hollar kitchen today🤗🤗! Continue to enjoy your time together with Meg’s grandma💜💜💜!
Lol, I'm in the same boat in regards to beans😊 my neighbor is begging people to go pick her beans. She is tired of picking beans. I'll go over when it is cooler this afternoon.
Right now, I'm canning peaches 🍑 😋
I may need a vacation when harvest is all in😊
A big kitchen building with windows that you can open all around. Big enough to put a big extra freezer and a big stove where you could do canning and food prepping. That way, your home stays cool and uncluttered from the produce.
Yes an outdoor summer kitchen
I used to do work for a couple and the mister used a portable shed as his outdoor bakery. He loved to bake cookies. An outdoor kitchen sounds lovely for the summer.
@@carolharris3668Have you seen the one Stacey has on Off grid with Doug and Stacey. It's amazing
My grandma and grandpa built their home, they lived in the base while they finished the top floor. So my grandmother had a downstairs kitchen. Their days of living in the basement were over by the time I came around. But she always had that kitchen she canned down there they have massive gardens. And she had this big pantry. The door was a curtain, you’d pull the curtain back, and it was just stuffed with home canned fruits and vegetables. She canned everything. She even had canned fish and canned beef. There’s were cherries, and peaches, apples and apricots, berries and just everything. to me it was beautiful. My mom canned too but not nearly to that extent. Those are my childhood memories in the 70s and 80s.
@@cynthiablagg3690my grandmother had a basement kitchen along with her upstairs kitchen. Her downstairs kitchen was a place of wonder for me. It had all the the old time stuff, the 50s fridge just for instance. My grandpa had these bar glasses with women in skimpy clothing. When they got cold as with an iced beverage, the clothing disappeared. I must have been about ten when I realized it.
I had 8 gallons bags of frozen tomatoes that turned into sauce in December last year. Meg you are phenomenal! Hello Gramma! Buggie is singing! Your family gives me hope!
Grandma, I'd love to see you. I've lost both of my Grandma's who I was VERY close to. 😢please 🙏🏻 let them film you. I want to cry 😢
Oh yeah! You’re back!🎈
She is such a happy little buggy.... always singing and singing and singing.... LOVE IT!
Sweet Buggy singing in the background. I know y'all are enjoying your time with Mimi.
Meg is definitely in her element in the kitchen . Great job .
Yes she IS 👩🍳
Looks like a whole lot of magic happened in that kitchen! GO GIRL!
Thank GOD. You have no idea how much I missed you.
I must say, by far, you are my favorite homesteaders to watch. Your teamwork is amazing between husband, wife, and children. You all work so hard. You will help each other when the moment arises. The best thing is that you enjoy the benefits of your hard work and you are a family that has a purpose and you do it together ❤️ I love that you are not trying to be materialistic and continue to appreciate what God has provided. You are a beautiful family.
Meg needs a canning kitchen. Her foods always look amazing ❤
NO Please, if she does then Dad will take over! Let her be!!! Course we know that won't happen!!
Glad you’re have a nice visit with grandma but so happy to see you back!
Great video! Poor Meg! She is so busy and diligent.
Y'all have the safest house in the whole area. Ain't no Vampire coming that place, gosh!
Just starting the video so I just want to say I hope you had a great visit with your grandmother glad your grandmother can still be there
Such a nice harvest! You're very blessed to have Megs grandmother with you to help and share stories of Meg as a child I'm sure❤
I busted out laughing when Ben said,”look at the stove, Lady” so love the kitchen time and listening to Buggy
I bet the bees helped with the great harvest,and Happy Birthday Buggy!! 🍅🫑🥰
Things have gone full circle. Meg at Buggy’s age helped Mimi, now Mimi helps Meg . 🌻🌻💕💕
Have you ever tried cutting the tomato suckers off and planting them?
Aah, this is awesome! I have seriously stalked y’all, on all your videos, I was about to run out, because I’ve binge watched for a week! I’m caught up now, and you just posted this video! Absolutely love your content and family! I’ve been canning nonstop all summer, y’all are a great inspiration to manyZ, much love and prayers from East Tennessee! 💞
My mother in law used to ask what could she do to be helpful. I always told her just sit there and look pretty.
This brings back memories for me, while we didn’t live on a tiny farm like yours, we lived on a large and my father planted a huge vegetable garden. We would sit around the table and snap beans. Sometimes our friends would come over and my mom would enlist their help, paying us all in ice cream. She used our onions and bell peppers to make tomato sauce. Shes just put it all in the blender them dump it into a big pot to reduce. Then into glass jars and canned. They froze our corn, and cucumbers became dill pickles.and that was just the produce we didn’t have for dinner. My dad like to put everything from the garden on the table. One year my mom decided to learn how to can potato’s because we had so many small potatoes that year. She figured they be good in stew and pot roast. But once she took a jar out and made fried potatoes with them and they were so good! Of course there were also plenty in the freezer. Those were good days when I was a kid. My grandparents had a couple of acres, they raised their own beef and had gardens like yours in the North Idaho panhandle. We Loved going there we had our cousins and played with frogs in grandma’s window wells. We raced them. Grandma said it was okay as long as we put them back in the basement window wells. I love to see children raised with all this.
Thank you for sharing such wonderful memories!!!
TIP: .... soak the garlic before shaking to peel!
...a few hours to overnight.
A much more pleasant and shorter experience!!! ❤
Busy, Busy, Busy. Amazing to see, and enjoyable, with Buggie on they floor singing and keeping busy herself.
My goodness, what a harvest!!! You have a bumper crop of beans, peppers, and tomatoes! It's great to see your Grandmother visiting!!! Tomato jam and pepper jelly looks delicious...plus it's pretty in the jars!!
What an absolute blessing to have the visit from family. I just love seeing how your family runs the homestead as a team. Our homestead isn't quite the team as I would like. Your gardens have done really well. Even with the things that fail, there is still plenty.
When you don't have enough hot peppers to make something big, you can still make relish. I think it's important to recognize that you both have talents. While your planning and planting the garden and looking after the critters, your better half is looking after the happiness of the reast of the family while planning how to keep you in meals. You both rock.
I bet you grandma is very proud of you Meg
Meg is always busy in that kitchen! She makes everything she cooks look so delicious😊
Yellow wax beans in white sauce over mashed potatoes with butter, salt, pepper. Yummmm 🕊
Meg you are wonder woman in the kitchen! Awesome day in the garden and kitchen! And Happy 3rd Birthday to Lily Anna🎉❤🎂
Roasted garlic in a pan with oil then Jared up for freezing or canning is something you will thank yourself for later. Use it on pizza, spread it on a roast, add it to a stew etc. The flavor of the roasted garlic is so much more than plain garlic. You have to try it out. Mimi will have to plan on visiting every year during harvest time to keep the tradition of canning and preserving with not only her granddaughter but her great-granddaughter too. What awesome memories you are creating!
Really happy for you folks, your garden production is growing exponentially, all that hard earthwork is starting to pay off.
peppers green beans and potatoes ,add eggs and a frittata or omelette sounds like one meal. then add chicken or other meat for others. that jam could be used with coriander, cilantro to you and basil with black pepper. An amazing harvest and as a later stack of green beans that is such a bonus. the homestead life is constantly busy and no place for slackers, seeing the six of you doing the beans while Meg is as always doing so much is heartwarming. garlic, tomatoes and peppers and beans base of so many delicious meals.
Paste are the best for canning. I've switched to determinant tomatoes because I live in Kentucky and blight is a big thing. Do not regret it!
Glad you guys had a great visit with grandma. Have a Wonderful Wednesday!!
You are great at learning your soil and what produces best‼️ Love the good minds.
Your Grandma must be so very proud of you and the family, enjoy your visit. I love your channel and sweet family. Thank you.
Seems everyone is enjoying grandmas visit! She sure went to town on snapping those beans. Busy kitchen, so many wonderful things being made.
I love that Buggy has a song for everything.
I love how Ben says..."I'd really like to try... (insert any preserved food or other here)" - and Meg goes..."Sure, I can do that." You guys SO rock!
I made a batch of dilly beans following your recipe and man are they delicious! I have never had them before and am so glad I decided to try it. I ate half the jar in one sitting. Best lunch ever! Thanks so much for walking us through how to make them.
thanks for sneak sharing Mimi with us!
It would probably help a lot if the weigh station also had a washing area.
♥️👍🙏🤓
Just discovered this channel and I love it!!! Love the fact that you are real!! Have a good one!
What a Blessing..I’m waiting on my beans to come in ..
on A Good Note my “ good morning beautiful people “shirt came in yesterday and I am proudly wearing it 👍🌱
That mess on the backsplash is how you know its good.
Buggy sure keeps track of what you are doing!
Everything looked so good.nice to see your grandma.
Happy Birthday Buggy!!!
Freeze dryer is needed!
❤
Yum hot pepper jelly pair with cream cheese on either a cracker or on grilled crusty bread also marinade on chicken or pork loin.
Have to say never had tomato jam sounds interesting.
Grandma is a sweetheart so nice she can come visit for a bit.
Always enjoy the preserving with the family involved.
And if Meg is like the rest of us love to reap our harvest, but can't wait till it's all done.
Ben, don't comment to often on the Podcast, but you three are doing a good job, continued success.
Blessings to you and your families. 😊🇺🇲
You just need to make a summer kitchen. For all the canning you do. Everything looks so delicious 😋.
Meg your a super woman your family are so so lucky to have you as their mum what a cook hats off to you. Your hubby too he works hard to produce all that goodness xx
y'all need a couple of little silicone tubes for pealing garlic. They are made for that and in the kitchen section at stores. I am thrilled with how well and fast they work.
I don’t understand how with so much land and needed improvements Ben and the boys are always in the kitchen with mom.
I was watching your video at 9pm and suddenly thought "Beans! I harvested green beans and then didn't bring them inside!". I had to run out back and rescue my day's bucket o' beans. At least the raccoons didn't get them first. 😂
Beautiful garden,happy family
You all amaze me at what all you accomplished in one day. Well done you all!!!
Great to see Grandma again and pray for safe travels back home. And a Very Happy Birthday to a Special Little Lady!😊🎉
Enjoyed seeing Grandma's brief appearance snapping beans. Grandmas certainty are a priceless commodity. I hope y'all have had a wonderful visit! Meg, that was quite a murder scene on the stove! Lol! I always enjoy your videos! Hi Buggie!
What a wonderful harvest!
I have only recently found your channel but y'all have become my favorite on TH-cam.
Your videos are very entertaining and educational. Wholesome viewing for all ages! 👍👍👍
Just a thought, you haven’t built a deck off the patio doors, you might consider building an outdoor kitchen for prep and preserving. Maybe one wall could be and pantry for canned goods you have made.
Love watching you harvest and can everything.
Y'alls garden and homestead are by far the most beautiful to me than all of the other homesteading channels combined. I love everything about it. No fancy built beds or gardens; just beds built with scrap wood, compost that Ben worked his butt off to make, hard work, and love. It gives us viewers hope that we can create something similar without breaking the bank or having to have paid help to get it accomplished. Absolutely gorgeous!!!
Oh, Meg, you look so tired!!! No rest for Moms, it's a 24/7 job:)))
They have splatter screens at dollar tree, I use them all the time they work real good
I didn’t realize until just now the difference between a red and green bell pepper is simply to time in the sun.
Oh my goodness! This all looks delicious! I miss having a garden and I think that is why I enjoy your videos. Meg is an awesome cook. I don’t think there is anything that she can’t cook. I was wondering how her herb garden is coming along. All the gardens her in Texas are burned up! It’s just so HOT HERE! God bless you and yours!
I love watching buggy grow up,I've been watching from the time you started remodeling the trailer and expecting buggy. BYW, she is so cute and smart.
Congrats to Meg! What a huge amount of work preserving your beautiful, bountiful harvest. I'm tired just watching you! Those peppers were just beautiful.
Hello, Beautiful Hollar Homestead Family: I know a "few" more words than "amazing", but why search my brain for another word when amazing describes you so well? Such energy! Such diverse skills! Do you ever take a break?? Keep up the great work. Please tell your children we appreciate them too. They are beautiful children and your little girl is a doll! Thank you!
You guys certainly won't have any vampire problems with all that garlic, Dang! LOL Happy days with Grandma, priceless!
You should build a root cellar for your abundance 😊
Fermented garlic is amazing, with carrots and horseradish, cauliflower and green tomatoes, cabbage and of course dill weed. Yum! I fermented pickling cucumbers with garlic and dill pepper corn, they turned out amazing! Great to see you guys and Nana! 🤗💕🤗 Blessings!
