    Thanks, Ben and Meg @thehollarhomestead for hosting this class! It was wonderful learning more about where our food comes from and building a deep respect and appreciation for the food that fuels us and for those who raise and grow our food. Meg is a wonderful cook and an amazing host and Bed is a fantastic teacher! Meg's Pork Digital Cookbook - www.hollarhomestead.com/shop/p/the-pork-cookbook-e-book

      I saw you last week on the Hollar homestead I follow. I'm glad you had the opportunity to see and experience where our food comes from. I watch you everyday that you have a podcast and I learned so much from you Becky and your wonderful bouncy and joyful attitude that I see inspires me to want to do more. Love and hugs your way. Looking forward to your next podcast🥰🌻

    Becky, I retired last June at the age of 71. All my friends talked about their plans to travel, spend time in warmer climates, etc. All I wanted to do was get serious about my 4 little raised beds and do some canning. Things i never had time for while raising two kids alone and then just working, working, and working. You have been an inspiration to me. I take your ideas and downsize to my needs. Thank you for all your many videos, ideas and encouragement. BTW: my friends think I'm crazy! I tell them this is the person I am, a homebody! Done the travel, done the career, time to concentrate on my joy! Relearning old skills, and new ones! Gotta go figure out my planting needs and where I'll be setting up the seedling station!

      Yep ,retired, then covid came and blew my travel plans.I was just going to volunteer to keep busy and covid messed that up also.THEN I said, "Let me try to grow food.lol Well I suck at it but I keep trying. Who knew it was more than just dropping seeds in soil? The SLUGS and GRUBS and other pests.What a wake-up call.

    As a farmer I totally relate to the feelings that arise when it is time to harvest the pork. Whether you want to or not connections are made between farmer and livestock. If you’re a wise farmer you’ve given them as much as a beautiful life as possible. It is always hard to say goodbye yet thank you. ❤

    @RedbudVineGirl 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +41

    Becky, I saw you on The Hollar Homestead with Ben and Meg a couple weeks ago. I am so glad you shared on your channel. It was nice to hear how this affected how you will order pork in the future and have a deeper understanding of the farm to table perspective from a grower. Great job jumping in there and getting hands on experience processing. I have hosted countless chicken butchering workshops and over the years and have become great friends with many of the folks that attended and still process with and for many of them 10 years later.

      I was like I hope I can see this from Becky’s eyes also as I know Meg and Ben are so busy that filming it all is to had for them. But also as it is great to see the sharing and spreading of each o th era channels

    Being a hunter, I clearly remember the first animal I ever took. From shooting it to processing it and putting it on my table to feed my family…it was a VERY emotional experience. It wasn’t easy to do at all. But knowing where our food comes from is paramount to future generations that they too can appreciate an animal giving it’s life to sustain ours. THANK YOU so much for including this on your channel.

      He said at a
      the beginning of our marriage he said every time she's upset I go out and when I am upset of something she goes in the bedroom and stay there until everything is settled.
      So they ask him what happened? He says nothing that's why I'm in the street for 25 years. 😂😂😂😂...

    How delighted I was to realize you were en route to another of my favorite homesteads, The Hollar Homestead! I have watched every one of their up loads from the time Meg started in California before their epic year of travel to find where they'd settle to raise their family and have their homestead. Becky, I watch every one of your up loads also, perhaps it is the genuineness you exude that makes me love to watch both you and Josh, and Meg and Ben; whatever it is I love what you do and your work ethic. I can't believe I watched the hog butchering class vid a few weeks ago and totally missed you were there. So glad you have met and appreciate each other. Blessings all around.

    I followed the Hollar Family on every video as they travel cross country on the search for their forever homestead. It has been so much fun for this 82 yr. old woman to watch them grow and prosper, just as I have watched and enjoyed you and Josh create your homestead. I so love your cooking videos along with Meg's. The creativity the two of you have with food is unbelievable and so fulfilling to watch and learn and be able to applied for my family of two. Bless you for sharing this wonderful trip in enlightenment for you with all of us.

    This video brought up a lot of memories for me. My dad was an avid hunter. He also processed all the game and fish he caught at home. It was a hands on process that we were all involved in. I miss my dad very much. Harvesting an animal brings a whole new range of emotions and appreciation for them giving up their life for us. I take nothing of this for granted. It has been decades since I last went hunting. I am admittedly soft and do not do well with the whole harvesting process. I have the utmost respect for those who raise these animals, harvest and process them. Thank you for sharing this new journey. I appreciate it.

    I thought that was you in that Ben & Meg’s class. I was surprised as you never indicated interest in this area before but your video was really great. I was also surprised & a little disappointed that you, Ben & Meg didn’t do a ‘talk bit’. I have followed you & The Hollar Homestead for years now as well as other homesteads & every time other homesteads go to another homestead they do a ‘talk bit’ with each other. I am surprised you, Ben & Meg didn’t.

      Oh Becky l grew up in Georgia and l remember our annual hog butchering. I was the youngest of 12 raised on a farm. It was my job to cut up the fat into cubes which when rendered the
      cubes became cracklings. These were added to the cornbread. It was quite a feast. Mom always fried tenderloin and made biscuits for for lunch on butchering day.❤
      So happy to see this video that youve experienced what was an annual event to me growing up on a farm.❤
      God bless you and your family. TFS. Love you Becky & Josh.❤

    Ben and Meg are amazing people and I am so glad you had the opportunity to attend their workshop. Along with yours, the Hollar Homestead is at the top of my TH-cam playlist. Like you, they embody the essence of homestead life from start to finish. Thank you all for sharing this life with us.

    Ask your butcher to course GRIND your lard or tallow. It allows you to render it so much easier.

    Welcome to the Easr coast. Those are tornado shelter signs. We used to have tornado drills at work. We are not used to 10 inches of snow that we just got this week in East Tennessee. Thanks for sharing. My dad was a butcher and he even made his own sausage. Nothing is better than what he raised and fed us growing up.

    Becky,
    You are such an inspiration! Your videos are informative, thoughtful, organized, and particularly in this video, respectful of others ideas/beliefs. As a teacher, seasoned gardener, environmentalist, and vegan you give me "food for thought" in every video. Your thorough documentation of your thoughts throughout each video gives deeper meaning to what you are doing. I appreciate all your time giving credit to those items you use and those who have contributed to your knowledge. All the prep for each video provides your viewers with a professional product. KUDOS to you and what you have achieved so far. I for one, am staying on the journey with you. Thanks for each of your posts!

    It's so neat that you were able to go do the class. I have watched Bri and Art from the very beginning. I'm a big follower of several of the Homesteads in NC, Tennessee and SC. I live vicariously through all of you. Thank you for this video and safe travels to you and your sister.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this video! That is such a cool experience. Now I want to see if our local butcher can offer classes like that lol.
    I appreciate those who learn butchering skills and then share those skills with others. It is such a blessing for an animal to give its life to feed people, and learning where our food comes from is humbling and can make you much more grateful.

    Loved seeing some of the NC countryside. I lived there a long time ago and still have family there. When you have a chance and a little time go back and drive the Blue Ridge Parkway, especially during the spring. It is breathtaking and the people are great.
