I can not find the link to go check out the freeze drier machine & possibly maybe purchase one. So if you could post the link again that would be great.. thank you
How are you all going to go about cleaning out the barn? Will you open the windows first so that the light scares away the night animals or will you hire a company? ~Smile!
We finally found a bird that MaryCarl didn't have- BEFORE- a Screech Owl. That will handle your mouse and rat problem but you are going to have to keep netting over the chicken and duckling yards because that little guy will pick them off one at a time. Peaches called. She said that she wants you to be sure to freeze-dried persimmon chips for her so that she can have a Winter Supply. She said that, now that you have two persimmon trees, she just cannot eat them all in one sitting.
I'm in a freeze dryer facebook group. Tons of experienced people that have tried freeze drying just about anything you can imagine! My boss purchased a Harvest Right 2 years ago and we have an arrangement: I'm in charge of freeze drying what he buys for his long-term food storage, and in return I get to use it for my own food storage.
That's a service I'm going to offer people at the local Farmer's Market... freeze-dry their excess produce, or freeze dry my own and sell it that way, as 'survival food' products, grown locally and organically. It'll pay for itself in no time. Even hubby is now getting excited because he's been watching all of these homesteader videos with folks with the Harvest Right machines. He sees the potential.
I hope the owl doesn't eat the poisoned rats or mice!Take up the poison & let the owl take care of them & earn her keep! As long as she's in the barn, you'll be rodent free. She sure is sweet! I love using my dehydrator, but I hadn't heard of a home freeze dryer. Now I want one!!! God bless y'all!!!🦉❤🍓
I've got mine being built now. Contact Harvest Right (be sure to use Cog Hill's promo code), put one on layaway... you pay down the first $1,000 in payments you can afford, spread out over time, and when you hit that threshold, they'll start building it. It will take 10-12 weeks, they're so backlogged right now because the demand has shot through the roof to get one, in today's market instability, for them to build one, and you can pay the balance off over that time period so that when they're finished building it, you've got it paid off. Free shipping going on, too. It includes the mylar bags, the oxygen absorbers, and the sealer in the cost of the machine. You get to pick the type of vacuum pump (there's 3 of them... you'll pay extra for the 2nd and 3rd tier pumps). There is SOOOO much potential with these machines, and you'll find that you'll be using it more than the dehydrator, simply because you're not using as much energy cost, not losing as much nutrition, and it looks better than the dehydrated results.
@@Bruintjebeer6 hey, thank you for commenting. How long ago was it that you lost your precious cat? Some of Today's rat poison has a blocker in it that wont allow the poison to be transferred to another host. I lost my dog, when a lady in the duplex I lived in because the day we moved in, supposedly the UHAUL we were moving in, made to much noise while backing it up the drive way. On new years morning, I found my dog having a seizure and everything below 3 to 4 feet, was covered in blood and stunk ferociously bad. It was to late to save him. I was told to use a certain type of poison that will not harm anything other animals than the one its targeted.. take care
@@gabbiesmeemee That was a long long time ago Ever since i have been very carful I never used it myself but the te company i rented the apartment from Good to know they use something now that don't harm other animals
Years ago I bought a farmhouse on 4 acres. In the weeds I found an old abandoned strawberry bed about 75ft X 10ft. So I ran a piece of fencing to close it in and bought 4 baby geese. When they were big enough, we turned them out into the old bed, they cleaned out all the weeds, and fertilized. When berries appeared, we put them in a different pen. We enjoyed the biggest, sweetest strawberries I've ever had. I picked 2 quarts of berries and took them to the lady that had owned and planted that strawberry bed (two owners between). She was absolutely thrilled.
My daddy took care of a chicken farm back in the 60s there were many nesting boxes and many eggs.i was only 5 but I remember picking up eggs that had no shell.they washed the eggs by hand and put them on egg trays and in big boxes and put them in a walk in cooler a big truck would come get them.i just wanted to share this with you missing my parents.xx
@@sandragruhle6288 ...We had 1,000 White layers in 5 pens...but it was open in each room...so it was almost free range...we fed them good grains...had calcium in the feed...once in a while...we got 2 strange eggs...1 had no shell...the other was very elongated...we called those ROOSTER EGGS...LOL...BUT all the other eggs we "candled" each egg just to make sure no chics were in them...(never saw a 1) only rooster we had was yard Rhode Island Red hens & a Rooster...feisty one too...If he got in to any one if those rooms...hahahaha...cocka doodle doo...lol...2 Gurnseys and a 275# Bore and a 380# Sow...They made bacon...fed 'em black eyed peas...or beans(The controversy still rages...) God Bless...
Mary Carl is one of a kind! Young lady. Because you all have taught her! Her stuff! Can't wait to see how your freeze drying strawberries come out! We love our air fryer. No more frying with deep fried oil. Thank God for our hearts. Taking a break on oily foods! Love it!
How can anyone ever give this amazing family thumbs down?? they are awesome and a model family !! I love watching them share there happy ,educational and funny family...Thankyou for sharing!!
I love watching your channel. You put a smile on my face and in my heart every time I got to watch you. Thank you. Mary Carl you are a beautiful and awesome young lady.
I can't wait to see Nugget running laps on the new property! Thank you for the closer views of your trees and hosta. I'm looking forward to more of your freeze drying adventures! Please continue sharing what works and what doesn't.
I absolutely love freeze dried fruits,strawberries,bananas,apples etc. I always take some with me when I go to my dialysis appointments,even took some on vacation for kids to snack on.
I got my medium fd about a month ago. I LOVE IT, I've fd scrambled eggs, raw eggs, bananas , strawberries, shredded chicken. Milk, sour cream and several other things.
I would just like to say Thank You for your videos they truly bring me such joy to see all of your happy animals and to see the Emu running around like crazy
Cog Hill gang - you guys have been helping me get through a rough time... thank you for your authenticity 💗and great content and listening to you makes me miss SC 👍🏻 much love and thanks to all y’all (and now I want a freeze dryer-lol)
That girl knows exactly what she is doing. Just like my boy. They know technically. And yours is blessed with knowledge of the farm! And her specialty is those eggs! Thank God she knows her stuff. And able to work with joy on the farm you all are blessed with!
Lemmie was my Grandma's name. She lived down the road from us. I loved that woman! She'd always sit in a ladder back chair in her doorway reading her bible and watching her brood of 5 grandkids play. Occasionally she'd give us one of the little hershy bar squares then share the rest next time we were there. We we Tennessee Mt. Hillbillies. I am still! Oh the stories from Grandma's house! She died when I was 8. I miss her.
There is another homesteading family I watch who loves their freeze dryer. You can scramble some of the eggs and freeze dry them. Just add a bit of hit water. Those carrots you love you can slice them and freeze dry them for snacks.
Nugget was running like Dale Jr. Loved it. Scott is beautiful. Strawberries looked really good. The owl will eat the mice. Good thing. Hope everyone has a bless day. Love you guys
Yes,a barn owl is your friend in killing off those mice and rats. But please pick up all the rat poison. It would be a tragedy if the owl 🦉 got that in its system via the rats. Owls are beautiful creatures. 💘 from South Africa 🇿🇦
If you haven’t watched “Keeping it Dutch” they have one also. They do pineapple, meats, skittles/other candies like peach slices and gummy worms. Y’all enjoy your strawberries, made me hungry.
Is Nugget playing running like that??? Beautiful urn and Hosta. Scott is so very beautiful!!! You all are going to have a lot to move to the new farm ... Your daughter is so observant and sweet. You have so many discoveries to make on your property! So happy for you all ...
Great to have an owl in your barn!! Take care of your rodent problems! 🤗🤗👍👍. Everything looks great!! Green and beautiful ❤️❤️. Love y'all!! Take care and God bless! 🙏🙏❤️❤️🤗🤗
Loved today’s Video! It was nice to be back on the farm seeing the animals. Can’t wait to see the new farm develop! I think I’m just as excited as y’all. I love how God gifted you with a cute little screech owl to keep your barn free of rodents and snakes!
I want one of those freeze dryer,but they are so expensive,I can’t justify buying one just for myself. But I would do things for my kids,maybe we could all pitch in and get one
You can afford the small one... do it on layaway... a payment plan that accumulates until you get to the threshold of $1,000, and they'll start building it. It'll be 10-12 weeks before they get it finished, because of the backlog they've got, they're that far behind on assembly. They build them on demand, not to have in inventory sitting, tying up resources. In the time period of the construction of the machine, you can pay off the balance of the machine. Then, you can work with the kids, or even offer to freeze-dry for your neighbors, friends, in exchange for cash, or for a share of the product produced. It'll pay for itself very, very quickly, you'll find out.
This was one of my favorite videos ❤ I love Cog Hill Farm #1. It's beautiful. Bit Cog Hill Farm #2 has so much more potential for your family. I think it will be a much drier piece of property. Just think in the future not only do you have room for your house but , Brook's Mom and MaryCarl's home and still not be right on top of each other. Just watching this video ya'll are going to have to install train tracks from this property to the new property. Bring in a 100 box car and flat cars train to move every thing🥴🤣 Please pray for my nephew Eric, he tested positive for COVID 2 days ago. Thank you in advance for your prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Have a blessed day, stay safe and healthy. 🙏🥰👍👌🙏🦅🔔🗽🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏
I just love your little farm! We had 40 acres of pigs, chicken and geese .. Our garden seemed bigger! We raised all our own food! We froze and canned our food! It is my dad’s homestead after retirement ! We had a orange ranch before that ! You take me back to so many memories..
Found your channel and died and went to heaven🤗 Just watching that video ended up being one of the best 36 minutes & 44 second therapy sessions of my life!! New Subscriber and loving every minute of it, beautiful sweet animals and all💚🙏 Love your freeze drier too❤
Smiles and hugs all around today. I just got out of the hospital and just couldn't wait to watch this video. Now I am off to watch the podcast I missed as well. Such an awesome family. I do pray for your success with the new land.
I love to can every year! It was something my grandmother taught me to do. I loved going to her house and spending time with her and helping her with her canning. So when I do it now by myself I always think of her.
I LOVE you guys and your channel! ❤️ Y'all make me laugh every episode. I love how fun, informative, and family-friendly Cog Hill is. Y'all keep it comin'!
You’re gonna love the freeze dryer for your eggs. Just crack them and whisk them up and pour them out in your trays. Afterwards ... break them up in chunks and put in blender. Store powder in your canning jars. Eggcellent way to store your eggs !!! 😋👍😊
I love watching you all,highlight of my week 😊and you’ve inspired me to get silkies and polish last year as chicks and they all started laying last month and my gold tops (silkie x Light Sussex bantams) and Indian Runner Ducks and I’ve expanded my veg garden lol keep up the videos and podcasts 😊👍👏🏼love from Derbyshire uk x
I just love them as human beings we share this planet with they give me hope for man kind to b kind I guess but I love they way they talk to each other an their animals ❤💙💗
My husband and I where in Huntsville Alabama at the space and rocket museum and I was telling my husband cog hill farm is in Alabama. We drove straight through to Davenport Iowa yesterday.
That Freeze drier is a right game changer!! Wow, all the things you can do with it. You could freeze dry soups and stews even. You could make freeze dried tomato powders. All sorts!!! I loved the little owl too. :) The garden is looking lovely. My potatoes still not up yet here. Just getting some carrots and lettuce starting to sprout along with spinach.
OMG I just love y'all.. I'm a southern girl myself and each thing y'all have said or done it's just like home to me!! I told my husband y'all made me homesick and I don't even know y'all!! It's my first time dropping by and I think I'll have to stay for a minute... That Nugget running around like the road runner just cracked me up..I kept waiting for him or y'all to go Beep Beep!!
What a great day! Strawberries and pears! It’s great you have that owl. She will take care of your rodent issue in a short time! Thanks for sharing. ☮️-Kirsten
Fun tip about Hosta. You can eat them, right in spring when there growing but still rolled up and close to the ground can cut them off and cook like asparagus. Fun yard food!
Two duck eggs, strawberry feastings, a barn owl, and a freeze drying machine all in one video. Around here, strawberries don't last long. you slice the strawberries then put a light coat of cream cheese icing on top and the optional chocolate. Ten chill maybe.
It’s snowing here today in salt lake..I envy your strawberry picking..that pear, you’ll have a couple fruit drops before the final ones. Owls are smart..sticking close to their all you can eat rat bar..!
I saw a recipe for freeze dried veggies where they freeze-dried peas, carrots, etc mixed together and then the put them in a mason jar with an oxygen absorber and just closed the lid- didn’t have to seal it. Then whenever they wanted to make soup over the winter, they just dumped the jar in their broth. Super cool. Also I’ve seen freeze dried veggies as crunchy salad toppers.
We've had snow today and chilling temps still . May hurry up. That when northern Michigan plants. You are lucky and blessed with weather. All looks so nice.
I feel like I’m watching an episode of ghost hunters when y’all enter the barn. Slow and cautious😂. Y’all crack me up. Don’t let MC get those owl eggs, she’ll be incubating them too.
So excited you have a freeze dryer! Living Traditions Homestead has one and I’ve been watching all that they have been doing with theirs.....just awesome....better nutritional values all the way around! Congratulations! I’m saving to get one! Lemme wants her lovin and maybe a treat 💕💕💕
What a fun day!! Nugget was full of it today. LOL I wonder how fast he can run. You have to be fast when you're the Sheriff!! I loved all the content today, as usual. God bless.
You may want to check out videos at Living Traditions Homestead about the freeze dryer. They did several about eggs, snacks, meat, lots of veggies. She cans a lot too. They plan to do long-term packaging too for when their gardens are smaller.
Scramble a dozen raw eggs, you'll have a dozen fresh eggs for cooking or eating in the winter and for things like camping. Freeze dry fresh meat, vacuum seal it and it won't need to be kept frozen to remain fresh. Just add water and throw it on the grill to cook. Dehydrate your collared greens for cornbread and have it out of season too. Leftover meals can become portion sized and stored for quick meals. And they don't need a lot of electricity to run a batch. Freezing your foods ahead of time will take the dehydrator less time to finish.
Living Traditions Homestead has a freeze dryer. You should watch all the things they've done. It's amazing.. They even did ice cream! When they rehydrated the foods was so neat.
My husband and I have the large freeze dryer and LOVE it! My favorite part is there are no leftovers! (And you can make your own instant mashed potatoes)!
Just a tip to try, we both have kitchen garden on a slope, and as you know with heavy rain the top layer are flushed down to the bottom part or even out of the garden. Just before the next rain try to layer some hay/straw/leaves on top of the soil on a few m2 as a test, and just watch the huge difference. It stops erosion so you would not believe it, and the soil are not compacted in the rain. Just try out on a little part and see the difference for yourself. Seeing is believing. :o) You can collect and compost it between the green before you till the soil, so it does not tie up the nitrogen while it compost in the soil. I know you love experimenting and testing out new stuff, and my experience is that straw is a game changer.
Nugget's got it so good! Love his free ranging, so fast so cool. He must me sooo happy. And Scott the Beeeautiful! Love his strut too funny uhm cooool! Hoot the owl pretty neat! And luv them strawberries, sunshine in the mouth! Yum!

For everyone asking about the Door Cover or Door pad, on the freeze dryer, the newer model machines no longer need that pad. 👍👍
dutch at keeping it dutch did candies also

Lands looking good!! Those strawberries looked absolutely delicious!!
I know you are very busy but I miss the dancing farmer❤❤❤
Seconded!
Freeze-dry the tops of the strawberries to use as treats for your animals.
Or use them to make vinegar!
Or toss them to animals fresh. I imagine the chickens would go wild.
I love your family. Let me count the ways, one to infinity. So happy for your new farm and family adventures.
I love hearing her birds sing in the background!
I think Brooke should write a song about her big tractor, lol.

You have the happiest, Most content animals I have ever seen.❤️👵🏻❤️
I love to can every year! It was something my grandmother taught me to do. I loved going to her house and spending time with her and helping her with her canning. So when I do it now by myself I always think of her.
I LOVE you guys and your channel! ❤️ Y'all make me laugh every episode. I love how fun, informative, and family-friendly Cog Hill is. Y'all keep it comin'!
Nugget cracks me up!
Nothing more beautiful than the sounds and the sights of this
Have a blessed day. Love you all!!❤❤
Hi....... Jason and Martha and Mary Carl nice to see you all, thank you for sharing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍
Love how you all talk to your animals . Your farm is wonderful .
You all need to get a Jack Russell , a good terrier will take care of rats .
Maybe that owl will help the rat problem!
Your strawberry look delicios...yummi.have a nice weekend all 3...+ all your wonderful animals, birds....💝❤❤❤💝💝😁🌹🌹🥰😃👍🖐
You’re gonna love the freeze dryer for your eggs. Just crack them and whisk them up and pour them out in your trays. Afterwards ... break them up in chunks and put in blender. Store powder in your canning jars. Eggcellent way to store your eggs !!! 😋👍😊
I love watching you all,highlight of my week 😊and you’ve inspired me to get silkies and polish last year as chicks and they all started laying last month and my gold tops (silkie x Light Sussex bantams) and Indian Runner Ducks and I’ve expanded my veg garden lol keep up the videos and podcasts 😊👍👏🏼love from Derbyshire uk x
OH MY GOSH Nugget is so fun to watch I can’t wait to see him on the new land.
I loved hearing Nuggets feet running through that mud…like a little kid jumping in a puddle ;)
Just love Mary Carl’s sweet reaction to the owl I love 💕 owls hope it keeps the Barn free of vermin for you Jason. ❤️❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
I just love them as human beings we share this planet with they give me hope for man kind to b kind I guess but I love they way they talk to each other an their animals ❤💙💗
Y'all have to try freeze dried pineapple! It is the best treat. Enjoy
My husband and I where in Huntsville Alabama at the space and rocket museum and I was telling my husband cog hill farm is in Alabama. We drove straight through to Davenport Iowa yesterday.
That Freeze drier is a right game changer!! Wow, all the things you can do with it. You could freeze dry soups and stews even. You could make freeze dried tomato powders. All sorts!!! I loved the little owl too. :) The garden is looking lovely. My potatoes still not up yet here. Just getting some carrots and lettuce starting to sprout along with spinach.
Mary Carl blow my mind with all her knowledge, love watch you guys sending lots of love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
We always look for Sim-Sim in every video ever since y’all adopted/rescued him but we haven’t seen him in the past few. We hope he’s okay. 💖
What an eventful time at Cog Hill Farm! The freeze drying machine is amazing!
OMG I just love y'all.. I'm a southern girl myself and each thing y'all have said or done it's just like home to me!! I told my husband y'all made me homesick and I don't even know y'all!! It's my first time dropping by and I think I'll have to stay for a minute... That Nugget running around like the road runner just cracked me up..I kept waiting for him or y'all to go Beep Beep!!
I love how your chickens lay in the goat pen ! Lol
What a great day! Strawberries and pears!
It’s great you have that owl. She will take care of your rodent issue in a short time!
Thanks for sharing.

And Mary Carl. Could dang run that farm all on her own such an amazing young lady yall have hit the jackpot with her shes an awesome little girl
Fun tip about Hosta. You can eat them, right in spring when there growing but still rolled up and close to the ground can cut them off and cook like asparagus. Fun yard food!
Our favorite thing to freeze-dry is meat. We put the meat in ball jars with dried peas carrot cubes ect for stew.
Two duck eggs, strawberry feastings, a barn owl, and a freeze drying machine all in one video. Around here, strawberries don't last long. you slice the strawberries then put a light coat of cream cheese icing on top and the optional chocolate. Ten chill maybe.
It’s snowing here today in salt lake..I envy your strawberry picking..that pear, you’ll have a couple fruit drops before the final ones. Owls are smart..sticking close to their all you can eat rat bar..!
Make me some strawberries ice cream 😆
We love our Harvest Right. You will too.
What a life ❤️ love watching you guys, I love the love you have for all the birds and animals, love the whole package, you're all brilliant 👍
I saw a recipe for freeze dried veggies where they freeze-dried peas, carrots, etc mixed together and then the put them in a mason jar with an oxygen absorber and just closed the lid- didn’t have to seal it. Then whenever they wanted to make soup over the winter, they just dumped the jar in their broth. Super cool.
Also I’ve seen freeze dried veggies as crunchy salad toppers.
We've had snow today and chilling temps still . May hurry up. That when northern Michigan plants. You are lucky and blessed with weather.
All looks so nice.
I can’t wait to see MaryCarl’s flowers at the new farm 💕🦋
Live watching your channel. I smile every time Nugget goes by on his run!
Very cool to have an owl living there. Keeps the mice down.
What a beautiful llace so so awesome can imagine what new farm going to look like will wait hopefully enjoy your daily videos building it up
Oooo I’d be going back every day for strawberries 🍓!!!
I feel like I’m watching an episode of ghost hunters when y’all enter the barn. Slow and cautious😂. Y’all crack me up. Don’t let MC get those owl eggs, she’ll be incubating them too.
So excited you have a freeze dryer! Living Traditions Homestead has one and I’ve been watching all that they have been doing with theirs.....just awesome....better nutritional values all the way around! Congratulations! I’m saving to get one! Lemme wants her lovin and maybe a treat 💕💕💕
You can blitz the strawberries up to powder in a blender or food processor. Strawberry powder is amazing in baked goods.
What a fun day!! Nugget was full of it today. LOL I wonder how fast he can run. You have to be fast when you're the Sheriff!! I loved all the content today, as usual. God bless.
You may want to check out videos at Living Traditions Homestead about the freeze dryer. They did several about eggs, snacks, meat, lots of veggies. She cans a lot too. They plan to do long-term packaging too for when their gardens are smaller.
Thank you for my daily dose of happiness!
Scramble a dozen raw eggs, you'll have a dozen fresh eggs for cooking or eating in the winter and for things like camping. Freeze dry fresh meat, vacuum seal it and it won't need to be kept frozen to remain fresh. Just add water and throw it on the grill to cook. Dehydrate your collared greens for cornbread and have it out of season too. Leftover meals can become portion sized and stored for quick meals. And they don't need a lot of electricity to run a batch. Freezing your foods ahead of time will take the dehydrator less time to finish.
Living Traditions Homestead has a freeze dryer. You should watch all the things they've done. It's amazing.. They even did ice cream!
When they rehydrated the foods was so neat.
When y'all drove past Scott in the driveway, my inner Mystikal came out and I said, "Shake it fast!" Out loud, right here at the laundromat! 😂🤦🏼♀️😂
My husband and I have the large freeze dryer and LOVE it! My favorite part is there are no leftovers! (And you can make your own instant mashed potatoes)!
So lovely and green Spring has sprung at Cog Hill Farm ❤️❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍💕💕
Just a tip to try, we both have kitchen garden on a slope, and as you know with heavy rain the top layer are flushed down to the bottom part or even out of the garden. Just before the next rain try to layer some hay/straw/leaves on top of the soil on a few m2 as a test, and just watch the huge difference. It stops erosion so you would not believe it, and the soil are not compacted in the rain. Just try out on a little part and see the difference for yourself. Seeing is believing. :o) You can collect and compost it between the green before you till the soil, so it does not tie up the nitrogen while it compost in the soil. I know you love experimenting and testing out new stuff, and my experience is that straw is a game changer.
Nugget's got it so good! Love his free ranging, so fast so cool. He must me sooo happy. And Scott the Beeeautiful! Love his strut too funny uhm cooool! Hoot the owl pretty neat! And luv them strawberries, sunshine in the mouth! Yum!
