Lorraine is a beauty just like her mom. You left so soon I almost cried, I wasn't ready. Reminded me of my parents from the Midwest visiting my family in CA. Always sad when they left.
Hi..... Jason and Lorraine and Penelope nice to see a family visit to your house I really enjoy so much your video, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🌱🎥👍👍👍
Love everything you got done! Maybe eventually you can put some gravel under the table to keep the mud out of the house. Looking so good around there. Parents are such a wealth of help and it always feels good to help our children no matter how old they get.
I love how the chickens and ducks come to the back door to say, “hey somebody in there come feed us!” The chickens are real curious to see what you dig up while cutting down the thorn bush, I guess they are wanting you to find them some juicy worms.
Family is everything! You are very blessed because you have so much love in your family. Just have them all move to North Carolina! Enjoy your special time together!
It looks like you guys enjoy the nice visit from your mom and dad. It was also very nice but your mom and dad helped you on those projects. It really added to your homestead.
I once chopped and dug wild roses out of a newly acquired property. Got rid of most, but the biggest one came back so big and beautiful I fell in love with it. It was next to a stream and the wild ducks nested under it every year.
Lorraine, your parents look more like your siblings!! They look so young and healthy!! And you favor your mom so much! I'm glad you all had this time together and maybe you will be together again soon!!
There is nothing like seeing the people you love after missing them. "Two Californians trying to start a fire..." that cracked me up. You need someone from Michigan to lend you a hand...or Mitt. The Hog-Mahal looks great; cannot wait to see it occupied!
WOW they were Lorraines PARENTS !!!! I thought her Mum was her twin sister- her Mum has kept herself very young & has passed on her amazing beautiful skin & youthfulness to Lorraine- Great to have visitors & hope to see them a lot more. Cheers Denise- Australia
You guys looked like you really enjoyed having family in. Even when you put them to work, you still managed to enjoy yourselves. Seeing details on the pig shelter makes me anxious to see the video on the build. Can’t wait. Stay warm!
Loraine, you look just like your mom the same as Rebecca Rhodes looks like her mom. Amazing. I love your place because no matter how much rain you get your house won't flood. Ours is flat on the ground and when we get 5 inches of rain, the backyard floods and the water is 1/2 inch from coming in the house. Have a Wonderful & Blessed Day!
It was so wonderful that Lorraine's parents got to visit for a week. I'm also certain Jason appreciated that Lorraine's Dad helped with projects. I miss my sons and their families. Vet he cle ST is about three and a half hours north, he is closest. His two older brothers are nine and eleven hours due south in Alabama and Florida. The lng trips are getting a little tougher every time I drive them!
Very nice. You can keep burning the stubs with the weed burner until they are gone, or, you can break out the pick and axe, and dig and hack it all out. 🙂 🙏
One thing you can use to cuts roots to bushes in the ground is a saw zaw, you can go around bush cuts roots then hook a chain to it and pull it out, plus if you dull the blade it’s pretty cheap to replace.
Jason for the hillside build a landscape stairs using 4x4's in a rectangle form stepping down the hill place gravel, mulch or concrete in each step. The length of the step depends on the steepness of the hill. NO MORE slip and slide down the hill
I would put the fire ring over the wild rose bush to totally kill it back. Spring will send up new shoots from the root base, burn on it this winter and it will be gone. The torch doesn't get deep enough or heat long enough to kill the roots! Pig port looks awesome, can't wait for the video and cost analysis.
Jason..just in case your interested. Our neighbor is a cabinet maker. He saves all those little pieces of wood for us for kindling..it starts fires fast and chops up easy. Great video..thank yu
I just love your joyful spirits! Great having parents come to visit- had to chuckle at the Dad that it wasn't too much work but his hands hurt lol. Very sweet of them to come visit and help out. Great video!
Guys I'm not sure how many times I've watched this video but we so enjoyed hanging out with your family great people exactly like Y'ALL lol keep going the way y'all are in this new exciting tiny bit scary lol really proud of y'all stay awesome y'all thumbs up my friends
Your homestead is really coming along so great!!!!❣️ C'mon Jason📍 I'm not able to wait for that pig shelter video much longer 😩 I noticed you using some special wiggly straps for it. Very intriguing indeed.👍😄👍
Loved your parents came to Visit. Our son lives in Japan and his wife and he just had a little boy , I’m always sending pictures and videos and of course FaceTime of our chickens and garden. Hopefully they will visit this summer! Awesome on the pig shelter ! 👏🏻
Have you thought about terracing that hill a little bit at a time and moving that picnic table up each time, I would also make it wider so you could put a picnic bench on each side of the table and on the end of the table
We love involving family and friends on our farm. Having family over to see how your homestead works and eat the food you raised...doesn’t get better than that...help with chores is a bonus as well!
Throw about a pound of whole corn spread around in the chicken house before you put in new hay or straw. next spring take the chickens out and put two pigs in. They will plow the packed straw to get to the corn, so it doesn't go to waste. After they get it all softened up you can get it out easily for the compost pile. let those animals work too.
Jason, give some thought to the smoke drifting to your picnic table from the fire pit. With the hill right there it could form a wind tunnel and be a big problem. Location is everything. I have asthma problems and am sensitive to smoke.
Such a lovely video. It is always great to have family visit and sad when they leave. You made some nice improvements with some help. Thanks for sharing
Its 20x easier to pull chicken when its warm. Pull it when it's cool enough to handle and then throw it in the fridge. It's easier on your hands and you'll actually get more because the meat is so easy to get off. I freeze the bones and when I have a ton, throw them all in to make stock
I felt having family come to visit was a little bitter sweet. Yes, it was nice to see them and to get a little help also, but is was a reminder of what you left behind in California. I wonder if you are completely satisfied with your move to North Carolina? When I moved over 2000 miles to California, yes I missed not regularly seeing my family but when I went back to visit, after a couple days I was eager to get back to California. Maybe someday relatives will move to North Carolina? That would be nice!
Penelope is such a sweet girl! Jason, she looks so much like you. Can't wait to see the completed pig shelter. BTW, I am in Palm Springs CA, where by this weekend it is supposed to be 77°-79°! I have a kindergarten where I have just harvested my first 7 tomoatp from one bush. The summer heat kills my 'maters so I gave up and planted in late October.
Everything looks awesome! I love your new set up with the picnic table and fire pit! Looks great! 👍🏼 Im also from CA and when I build fires I worry a little, too. Isn’t it nice to be surrounded by green grass and not get fined for watering it though?!🤪
We really enjoyed our visit to North Carolina, we will definitely be back, we love you guys and miss you already, love Mom and Pop
Lorraine is a beauty just like her mom. You left so soon I almost cried, I wasn't ready. Reminded me of my parents from the Midwest visiting my family in CA. Always sad when they left.
How sweet. Haven't they done a beautiful job and isn't Penelope growing up so fast 😄👍
Hi..... Jason and Lorraine and Penelope nice to see a family visit to your house I really enjoy so much your video, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🌱🎥👍👍👍
Dinner is your work of art today beautiful
Lorraine looks just like her beautiful mama!!! So cool for you to have the family time!!!
PARENTS, I thought it was her sister!!
Penelope is soooooo funny.
I LOVE your videos.
Thanks for sharing your family day with us.
Love everything you got done! Maybe eventually you can put some gravel under the table to keep the mud out of the house. Looking so good around there. Parents are such a wealth of help and it always feels good to help our children no matter how old they get.
Lorraine look like her mom much ? Both are gorgeous. Love you all....
Jason, you have to build a pergola over your table area, get some summer shade, grow some grapes up it, perfect!
I love the ducks and how you all talk to all the animals...........so sweet
I love how the chickens and ducks come to the back door to say, “hey somebody in there come feed us!” The chickens are real curious to see what you dig up while cutting down the thorn bush, I guess they are wanting you to find them some juicy worms.
Now when you sit around the fire or eat at your table you will think of your mom and dad.
Love the hot tub...👧
Sad when family heads home.
Stay warm....
Great job, getting ready for piggies🐖🐷🐖🐷🐖🐷
I just love it when you get some help digging from your chickens. A lot of people don't know about how helpful chickens can be. ;-) Art in CA
Family is everything! You are very blessed because you have so much love in your family. Just have them all move to North Carolina! Enjoy your special time together!
It looks like you guys enjoy the nice visit from your mom and dad. It was also very nice but your mom and dad helped you on those projects. It really added to your homestead.
Awww 😓 bye Grandma & Grandpa. We enjoyed seeing y'all on the homestead. It was a nice time esp for Penelope. Hope to see you soon.
I once chopped and dug wild roses out of a newly acquired property. Got rid of most, but the biggest one came back so big and beautiful I fell in love with it. It was next to a stream and the wild ducks nested under it every year.
Lorraine, your parents look more like your siblings!! They look so young and healthy!! And you favor your mom so much! I'm glad you all had this time together and maybe you will be together again soon!!
Their not even my parents and I cried when they left😊
Me too!
Lorraine was very brave even tho i knew she was sad.. She has really nice parents.
Oh no, so did I. Jason, Lorraine and Penelope. You have a crying section...
Thanks for the awesome videos!♥️
Tammy Merritt so did I cry 😢
There is nothing like seeing the people you love after missing them. "Two Californians trying to start a fire..." that cracked me up. You need someone from Michigan to lend you a hand...or Mitt. The Hog-Mahal looks great; cannot wait to see it occupied!

MUCH ❤LOVE ❤TO YOU ALL & GOD BLESS 🙏🏻😇🙏🏻❤👍🏻😘
The world have to respect the homestead life. Thank you for this video☺
So wonderful to get to meet the parents. Thanks for sharing them with us. God Bless you each. Peace.
Love the family visit and location of the picnic table💚...and just loved the "Hot Tub/Fire Pit" 💚 just too cute💚💚💚
Maybe mom and dad will want to join you! How nice that would be!
It is so relaxing to eat outside. Glad you are getting to raise pigs. Penelope I so enjoy your imagination.
You guys looked like you really enjoyed having family in. Even when you put them to work, you still managed to enjoy yourselves. Seeing details on the pig shelter makes me anxious to see the video on the build. Can’t wait. Stay warm!
Loraine, you look just like your mom the same as Rebecca Rhodes looks like her mom. Amazing. I love your place because no matter how much rain you get your house won't flood. Ours is flat on the ground and when we get 5 inches of rain, the backyard floods and the water is 1/2 inch from coming in the house. Have a Wonderful & Blessed Day!
I feel like homesteading gets better every year. Not easier, mind you, but still better
I so love 🧡you guys. And love💞 watching your videos. I cried 😪when the parents left. Things are looking👀 great as always.❤️💯🦆🐔
You need to make a wall on the upper side of the picnic area so the dirt doesn’t erode down every time it rains.
I just love your family. It does my heart good to watch your videos. God bless you all.
You may need to put holes in side or raise fire pit for airflow from below.
I’m glad you got to spend time with your family.
Really enjoy ya alls channel, family time is precious never take it for granted.💚 💚 💚

Great video..thank yu
If y'all have a wood mill near by I'd ask them for the sawdust. It works absolutely great for chicken coops and becomes absolutely amazing compost😘
Good video. Always having more hands to do something makes the job easier. Lorraine you resemble your mom so much. Beautiful both.
I just love your joyful spirits! Great having parents come to visit- had to chuckle at the Dad that it wasn't too much work but his hands hurt lol. Very sweet of them to come visit and help out. Great video!
Your vlogs make me happy! Thanks for sharing...I love Jason hollering at Bernice!! I want to live like you guys....Keep up the great work!
Yum, Lorraine. Love you all. Thanks for sharing, Jason.
Use your fire ring too burn out anymore unwanted bush stumps. Takes about 24 hours but it works.
Decomposed granite (DG) would work great under your picnic table. Keep the feet clean.
So nice to have family to help.
I know it's rough to miss your parents to have to say goodbye I feel for you and them God bless
It was awesome to meet the parents we LOVE all of you thumbs up my friends
Guys I'm not sure how many times I've watched this video but we so enjoyed hanging out with your family great people exactly like Y'ALL lol keep going the way y'all are in this new exciting tiny bit scary lol really proud of y'all stay awesome y'all thumbs up my friends
Family is the best gift
It's so great you have supportive family. So happy for you!
I get grouchy when family leaves, but it’s getting better with time.
Lorraine is right about using the closer table and fire pit more. When you can afford it, add a pop-up shade cover for the table when It’s hot.
Ooohhh - an arbor - dual purpose you could grow things - grapes or loofahs & have shade!
Always awesome to spend time with family...
Have a great evening ⛄⛄⛄
Jason- I use pine needles in the chicken run in fall. I find they get less slimy with manure. I rake up 30 gal. Bags at friends house for free!
Always good to have family. Looking forward to the pot pie video.
Nothing better than having family visit. And I bet they enjoyed helping you all on the homestead! Like the new firepit & outdoor table too.
Your homestead is really coming along so great!!!!❣️
C'mon Jason📍 I'm not able to wait for that pig shelter video much longer 😩 I noticed you using some special wiggly straps for it. Very intriguing indeed.👍😄👍
Granpa and Granma look like hard working people they should move to the country side near you guys :)) 👍
Loved your parents came to
Visit. Our son lives in Japan and his wife and he just had a little boy , I’m always sending pictures and videos and of course FaceTime of our chickens and garden. Hopefully they will visit this summer! Awesome on the pig shelter ! 👏🏻

The homestead is looking great! Love all the new improvements you’re doing.
Put your pit directly over the bush stump. It will get rid of it as you have campfires.
Really looking forward to the pig shelter Video. It’s looking great.
*THANK YOU FRIEND GOOD NIGHT*
Your pig shelter came out so nice.......great job!!!
firepit over roots worked pretty good for me. get it good and hot. let it dry out before you try and get it to start on fire.
Awww what a great visit and having extra hands on the farm ❤️❤️
Who were the guests? Your pig shelter is going to be a good sty for the piggies. I love pigs and and chickens.
You use such a variety of music to tell y'all's story. I love that!
Love the new picnic area and music!💕
Those are my favorite loppers.
Use a bottomless burn barrel, fill with wood, and burn. No more stump!
Love seeing your videos Jason. Huge fan. Fun seeing what other content creators put out there.
thank you for sharing your family with us. and your homestead journey!!
Such a lovely video. It is always great to have family visit and sad when they leave. You made some nice improvements with some help. Thanks for sharing
Oh and I wanted to say - I made sauerkraut from your video!! Waiting to see how it comes out :)
Another superb video as always. Such great entertainment. Thanks.

That was a maze video clip yous put together there it was good to see it. 👍 👍
Great Job everyone... Nice to see the generations working and enjoying each other's company...
Kindness your way.

LOVED the drone footage, awesome!!!
Love your life. Turkey vulture will be looking for carion not living meat. Pig shelter is awesome!
Penelope is such a sweet girl! Jason, she looks so much like you.
Can't wait to see the completed pig shelter.
BTW, I am in Palm Springs CA, where by this weekend it is supposed to be 77°-79°! I have a kindergarten where I have just harvested my first 7 tomoatp from one bush. The summer heat kills my 'maters so I gave up and planted in late October.
NOT a KINDERGARTEN a WINTER GARDEN!
*GOOD NIGHT FAMILY CALIFÓRNIA THANK YOU*
I love this family
Everything looks awesome! I love your new set up with the picnic table and fire pit! Looks great! 👍🏼
Im also from CA and when I build fires I worry a little, too. Isn’t it nice to be surrounded by green grass and not get fined for watering it though?!🤪
Lovely lovely family
