- Three solid days of rain in North Carolina means a LOT of mud. So our friends the Rhodes called us in to help move their pigs out of their muddy paddock and into a cleaner space. Also, Day 4 of our Whole30!

You guys are such good friends to help Justin & Rebekah out! I know that they really appreciate you all so very much. Friends are more precious than gold! Stars In Your Crowns!
You two are just good people! Wish you were my neighbors.......👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
me too!
After being stuck inside, being dormant for the winter, getting out and working outdoors feels so refreshing, even if it's in the mud.
Yes it does!!
Ben's literally( getting his feet wet) in the HOMESTEADING CULTURE ,
I keep thinking how cool it is that y’all have become friends with the Rhodes. I remember the vlog you filmed when going to the meet up in California and where so excited to meet them. Now you are friends close enough for them to call you for help! So cool! It is also fun watching their vlog and then your vlog about the same event. Same event- different perspectives. 😃 Enjoying your journey.
I’m not ready to give up grains and dairy but you have inspired me to make more meals from scratch. I made a peach crisp that was fabulous! I’ll be buying more produce from the farmer’s market and trying out more recipes. Thanks for sharing your lives with us! 💕
That salad looked so good and made me want some too! Would love to know how you made the dressing. I love sesame oil so I'm sure it bumped up the flavor to be over the top! I bet the Rhodes family were so thankful you all were available to come help! I live over the mtn from Asheville in TN and this deluge of rain is the worst I've ever seen in my 65 yrs. Flooding is all around and seems endless. See ya next time!
I think that often a lot of the issues people have with the brassica family is that they usually have had them as kids when they were over cooked. Once you start eating them raw, and stir fried, or steamed the whole taste changes. We eat loads of cabbage, and it's one of our go to veg. It's cheap, but packed with goodness :) Would go fantastic with those pigs, garlic, and walnuts
Rhodes is a Legend. I so enjoyed the Great American Farm Tour. They have a beautiful place. Glad you all live close enough to them to give them a hand. I bet it was a nice change to get out and play in the mud.
Nice of you guys to help them.
Hi Hollar's.. I am so glad that your subscriptions are growing.. Seeing you helping the Rhodes the other day , wow, You folks are great people. Sharing your own strength and working with them. I respect you all!!!
I pray you find a great property that will bless your family.
You guys are so great. How nice of you to go help Justin Rhodes! I can't wait till you have your own place.
Your videos are ALWAYS such a pleasure. Thank you for letting us to be a part of your journey!
Thank you so much for joining us Jeffrey!
You guys look like you feel better already too! More energy!:)
We really do!!
Our family is so glad we discovered your channel along with the community that surrounds you. We enjoy watching you guys search for that perfect spot to call your own and we are sure it will come soon! There is plenty of room up here in Maine! Stay positive and good luck!
We in the Carolinas have had a most miserable winter with many rain periods from November thru February with wet cold dreary days. Hoping Spring comes soon with sun and warmer weather.
We love the rain, but we are definitely hoping for some sun soon!
You all are good persons.. I’ve tried asking my friends to help me with my homestead, just simple tasks.. even willing to pay them for their help.. none willing to help.. I ended up doing it myself.. anyway..
We have had that problem in our life too. Probably why we are such god DIYers.
I am right there with you Meg, on not being a "morning person", I'm more of a "night owl". I've been trying to turn it around to be a "morning person", but it is Hard to do, one of these days it will happen. That salad looks delicious!! You all continue to be in my prayers about your property search :)
I have been trying for YEARS to be a morning person. It hasn’t happened yet. 😂
I hear ya Meg, it's not easy!! We'll keep trying, it's bound to happen one day! LOL:)
Being early in year, Look for dainelion flowers, makes nice tea! Remember where they are, dried fall roots in tea form will help with gut troubles also. Info from ole skool of hard knocks.
Hi Hollars! The Asias n Salad looks delicious! Thanks for sharing how you helped Justin and his family! Its so kind!!...👍👍👍
Oh that's so sweet of y'all I know Justin was happy to have y'all to help and I found a drink you can have on Whole30 here the recipe Orange Lime Mix
INGREDIENTS 1 1/2 cups orange juice 2 tablespoons lime juice 1 teaspoon lime zest
DIRECTIONS
:Combine orange juice, lime juice, and lime zest add to sparkling water I like it fresh fruit what I use so good and keeping y'all in prayer sweet friends thank y'all for sharing God Bless ❤🙏
That sounds so refreshing!
That was so nice of you all to go help with moving the pigs! I was wondering if you were going to help Justin milk the cow!
Love cabbage. Fav is in soup with green beans, taters and ham. Then season away. Love butter with it too.
While the cabbage won't wilt, the cashews will get soggy. I'd recommend making the salad with everything else and then adding the cashews at the table!
The salad looked delicious . You being a mom with a bunch of guys who are growing seem ready to take on the challenge of keeping them full . Your boys are so well behaved . I enjoy being a sub to your channel . Excited for you to find your new home place .
Thanks Patricia! It helps that I like to feed people. God blessed me with people who like to eat!
My mother used to give us wedges of cabbage smeared on one side with peanut butter. This was a great snack.
That sounds tasty!
GOOD LUCK! Hope its the property that you both want! I'll be praying for ya'll! Say blessed! ~MG
Hollar Family.....watched the An American Homestead.....could this be an answer to the sewer system for your RV! Just sharing. Love from Texas!!!!
It was so awesome to see you all work together to move the pigs. Success!
I'm so glad that you all got the hogs where you wanted them and I'm glad the "follow the corn" idea worked. : ) peace
This video is like my typical day off: breakfast, blank, lunch, blank, chore(s), blank, dinner, blank...
I started to love cabbage as well. Veggies are great when properly seasoned. Together with a nice slab of bacon...
Mmm bacon!!
Hi, Dayne here, Justin & his family are so lucky to have Friends like you. His so so lucky, I hope luck changes for you soon and you find a lovely 10 acres + so you can all settle down and to do your own thing. Good Luck and happy hunting. :-)
We hope it comes soon too, but it will happen when it’s supposed to!
All those lemons your squeezed you should save in a freezer bag in the freezer with vegy scraps for your bone broth.
Great video, love the sense of community you guys are building. We are all in this one life together, just beuatiful.
Very cool you could go out and help the Rhodes family!🙏
A day on the farm is a great day. Plus Justin gets free labor witch is a bonus for him.
I was watching you wrangling pigs on Justin Rhodes' channel and thought, "Boy, I bet they love getting out and being productive on a homestead!" It's great to see it in your point of view & have that verified. This gave you some more excellent North Carolina homestead experience.
I too m a cabbage lover and all veggies except maybe eggplant.
That salad looked so good. 😜
Just sharing my thoughts with you......watching your video and the Rhodes video.....have you thought of moving your RV to their homestead and helping out . Plus, the knowledge that Justin has and your creative mind, together, with the strength and love you both have for a better way of living, you two could get so many chores done and building things. Thinking up easy and new working techniques, plus the boys all working together and play time!!!!! Wow! The beautiful ladies and the awesome food they prepare and the love for a better way of eating.......so much in my mind! And you could still look for your homestead while having the time of your lives. My family enjoys all your videos and the Rhodes videos too. Thank you, thank you for sharing your lives with all of us. Love and Blessings from Texas!
We have talked about this option, but there is no sewer hookup for the trailer so it’s not a long term option.
@@TheHollarHomestead I wonder if there's a way for a natural composting sewer system on a larger scale to build, like the composting toilets, but bigger and using the compost only on flower beds. Hmmmmm! Lol..... this idea is from my 8 year old grandson. We have one of these outdoors, enclosed, so we don't have to hurry up and come indoors.
I second all of this.
Wow, thanks for comments. As Justin Rhodes sad they have blocked or removed it from his post but not your due to there being minor in them. Nice to be able to comment. Ok nice to see you helping out and bet is is good to get out. Looking good on cleans eating. LOL. Can't wait to see the new prospect properties.
Love cabbage sauteed in grass fed butter with caraway seeds. Yum
Thank you I needed a side dish for tonight's dinner That sounds good Having keto meatloaf w/keto mashed cauliflower and now cabbage ,Have a good day Chef 🎅🤙
@@Chefsantatravels ~ I'll have to get your keto meatloaf recipe from you unless it's the one in the KetoConnect cookbook. In which case, I have it!
@@TXNLaurenMcN I just uploaded video on my channel. 👍🎅
Glad your comments are not disabled!!! Fun times in the mud.
Yeah TH-cam have been making new rules again that doesnt make no darn sense..
I had to turn them all back on. 😑 TH-cam is changing some of their policies again, we will see how it affects our channel from here on out.
@@TheHollarHomestead Well I love those huge pigs you have in the video.
Hi there it was so lovely to see you helping that family with the pigs loved your salad very healthy indeed the whole 30 for me is good I'm doing mussels tomorrow so yeah all good happy hunting :-) ♡
Looks amazing! Good luck 🍀🏡🌞👼
Not only fresh cabbage but oven roasted Brussels sprouts...oh yum!!
Can you eat bacon? Saute bacon and red onion till done, add one diced jalapeno, and a shredded head of napa cabbage, toss and steam/ fry, till it wilts. This is really yummy!
That sounds amazing!! Bacon is a go as long as it’s sugar free.
You're my favorite.... The real deal
I enjoyed all the food shots.
I used to enjoy the time of year when the frost came out of the ground in New Hampshire. This time of year I would have three bred sows. I could bring them out from under the barn and start moving them daily in the woods. I would move them frequently enough so they would not do a deep tilling, but would just churn up the top of the forest floor in our sugar bush. Moving pigs about in the woods takes longer than on open ground. But as the days get longer and gardening has not yet started I found there was more time in the day. Often I would take my saw to where I had the pigs, especially on a rainy day. I would have a fire going, burning the limbs and brush I had cut. The pigs like the fire.
Justin never wears a hooded sweatshirt on the rain. I found I can work in most weather as long as my neck is covered.
Back in my day ( I was born in 1951) we didn't have TH-cam Facebook and texting. I was pretty well isolated on my little 36-acre farm. Moving the pigs was a solo chore.
I enjoyed your TH-cam, I found it via Justin Rhode's channel watching about moving the pigs from the quagmire. When I was new to pigs I allowed my pigs to stay too long in one spot during this time of year. I learned quickly that it is far better to move them to fresh ground before they make it a mess you can't get them out of.

Also, I am a cabbage lover. I like to grow cabbage in all it's colors and I have yet to find a way of eating it that I don't like.
That salad looks amazing.
Cabbage is amazing! I just made a huge pot of cabbage soup with sausage a few weeks ago and it was incredible!! I even had enough to take to my neighbor! It was a new recipe that used cream of celery in it so I was totally unsure how it was going to come out but I was pleasantly surprised!
Loving this video and the salad looks yummy 😋 tfs xx
Cabbage is my all time favorite veggie! I can make myself sick eating too much. Your salad was beautiful.
Wife makes me Goulash, she just subs yellow wax beans for the elbow macaroni- oh so good!
That would be so tasty!
Meal looks wonderful! I’m trying that one!
Me, too!
the two of you will be pros when you get you place, your a god send for the rhodes family. i pry you get your place soon.
We don’t usually get this much rain but it is a good time to check out how water runs or sits on a piece of property.
Great to see your channel growing by leaps and bounds! Your vlog content is good and btw...I am feeling extremely hungry after seeing your salad! 🤪
Thank you for the kind words!! Sorry for making you hungry. 😉
i could eat that salad all day long but with out the chicken glad you had a good time with Justin hugssssss from Ontario Canada
That salad looks amazing!
Wow! Another save for my recipe playlist. That looks amazing!!! My husband just came home from being on the road for a month and a half so we are eating good too. We are food lovers too but you can tell by looking at us. Lol! We are working on that though. It is harder for him though cause he drives truck and only eats at truck stops. Hope you enjoy your house hunting today and show us some footage of what you see. If you ever come to Florida you are welcomed to stay here and I will feed you! I love feeding people. Lol .love you guys. Blessings and prayers always 🙏❣❤
Nice vlog ty, It is such a shame and heart braking that "Heartiness Approach" Has the weight of the world on there shoulders, I wish them well. Take care good luck with house hunting.
It's Sunday can't wait for the vlog 😍😍😍😍
The fog in the trees around 3:00 looked spectacular.
I say "y'all" all the time, but hearing a native Southerner (Rebecca) say it is awesome. 😃
Cabbage is SO tasty. LOVE it!
Right?? It’s so pretty when she says it.
Might be a blessing you searching for a homestead during this rainy weather. I saw Bumblebee Junction is experiencing flooding. Looking forward to the next vid.
I'm definitely going to have to try the vegan version if that Asian chicken salad!
That salad looks great. I'm going to have to make it. I love salads.
Haha it is the opposite at my house jay loved everything and I didnt like much until we got together. Now I love trying new foods and eat lots of veggies!!
What a Wonderful Day.
I'm going to try that salad.
It looks great. I love cashews. I always put them on chicken salad sandwiches.
I'm in Southwest Va. Thirty miles north of Abingdon.
I hope you find the perfect house.
Good luck. Take care
So you guys got up before coffee 30 and try fried zucchini with almond flower and coconut flower and paper towl dry the zucchini before flower it and add spices to your taste im wishing i was at home to cook some
We love fried zucchini! That sounds delicious.
nice job
Nice video keepem coming Roll Tide
Meg, I hate water too so I load mine up with fruit, makes a sangria water . Idea for a dinner, I make stuffed peppers with sweet orange and yellow peppers and substitute the rice with cauliflower rice, delicious and you can’t tell the difference , enjoy your weekend!
Mmm that sounds good!!
lime is good in the water also. I add half a glass of water to whatever I drink, tea, leamonaide, juices. it has made a big difference
That salad looks amazing! The last few days we've done Shrimp Scampi over steamed broccolini. And last night we threw in a bunch of pork chops into the crockpot with the Primal Kitchen Ranch Dressing- delicious! Already feeling a difference (my husband is doing Whole 30, I'm doing AIP).
Scampi on broccolini sounds amazing!!
Now I want the salad. Not all the salad, mind you. BUT THE SALAD! YUM! Good friends to help with the pigs :)
Oh fun pigs!
You should call it the "beautiful food diet" because that is what you are showing us! I agree with other posters, the Rhodes are lucky to have good friends like you to help out. I know they know that, and show their appreciation. Speaking of the Rhodes, and your beautiful salad, I don't think I've ever seen anyone kiss more cabbages than Justin in the GAFT movie. LOL! Gosh you guys, I hope the perfect place just falls into your laps. You sure deserve it.
Thank you Cathy ❤️ It’s out there somewhere.
Awe you both are Awesome to help Justin and his family. Lemon is good for detox!! Hehe Meg, I just heard you say that. Hey Meg, can you tell me how you made your Avocado dressing?? it look so good.
It’s so tasty and super easy! Half an avocado, 1/4 mayo, 2 tbs cilantro, about a cup of coconut milk. Blend until smooth, season with salt pepper and garlic powder to taste.
Thank you so much Meg!!! I sure can't wait to try it..
That salad 🥗 looks awesome
Another beautiful W~30 meal.👍🏿 I hung out with my daughter in Seattle at her vintage shop and took a side trip to Trader Joe’s. They have EVERYTHING W~30! I got the best organic dried unadulterated Bing Cherries to add to my Gorp jar. I heard that a tasty protein bar called RXbar is W~30 compliant. I checked it out and it looks quite pure. Then I ate one (blueberry) and they are delicious! Definitely meant for an occasional snack or emergency meal but the taste is outa this world. Are you guys hiding this delicacy from us?? 😉 I’m also a big fan of cabbage and stirfry it almost daily. So I start the W~30 for real on the 1st and will also add my photos to IG! Have fun with your land lookie-see next weekend. I’m thinking of you all! 💜🌱💜
Yay!! So glad to hear you are starting! We haven’t tried the RXbars yet, we’ll have to check them out!
I don't hate cabbage but I'd rather not have it.
Lemon water.. Yum. 🍋
Nice seeing you guys on farm doing what you love!
I know this is not in your chosen state but would you consider buying Jim's and Rhenda's place? you did listen to their last, last video. Heart wrenching.
We can so relate with laundry and the uh oh no underwear statement! lol
Thanks for reminding me to do my laundry, brb. : )
I need to get my chickens moved so just let me know how soon you can get over to Chattanooga. Thanks 😉
😂😂 Chickens are easy if you do it at night!
Hubs, diggin’ the longer hair...
I love purple cabbage in salads
there is cheap land in Quaker city ohio---as this is in the middle of the oil wells--many are selling cheap--and to build a home would be cheap----no sure how many homesteaders are here-but there is many amish and Mennonites that would be a big resource ---land is about 2000-3000 per acre---
We have had straight rain for 3 weeks but thank goodness the degrees is in the 50 and 60 in Tenn. Nc weather is pretty close to Tn snow more!
We are thankful it’s not as cold here too!!
Morning should be illegal.....or start after 10 am.
I feel the same way! 😂
I need a Meg to cook for me!🤔😊
I seen you wrangling the Hogs on Justin's channel you guys are willing workers. The salad you're making looks delicious and I'm not a big fan of cabbage. Catch you guys on the next video. Happy house hunting I hope you show us the property's.
Definitely not an early to bed type of gal! I'm pretty sure we got a message from you at 2am the other day!
😂 guilty.
And of course i was playing volleyball and got home at 1:30 and replied back at 2 our time! So i can't point any fingers! 😂
You’re older now😍. Thx for the help❣️
❤️
Hey could you guys come move our pigs to freezer camp. That would be great. Thanks.
😂😂
Great video. Love this. Sorry Ben but I'm with Meg. Not a morning person. I worked nights for decades just so I didn't have to get up in the morning. LOL
Hahaha yessss!! 🙌🏻 Although Ben worked nights for awhile too and had to adjust to my night owl tendencies. 😉
weather i am moving my pigs or my steers in 5 feet of snow, i dont feed them for 12 hours, and they will all follow me were ever i go as long as i have a pail in hand, in the summer the pigs are rooting in the woods so no need to move them, i just drop one wire and they move on deeper into the woods on there own, pig are motivated by food witch make moving them by your self very simple... the hardest part is to get them to cross were the 12 inch high one wire electric wire was, that can take some time, once yo get them to cross the rest is nothing, in the winter that one wire is under 5 feet of snow, but they make there trail 5 to 10 feet out from were they know that wire was, as shown in my videos
That is what Justin did for this move and it worked beautifully!
@@TheHollarHomestead yes it look like that but looked like people were behind them with that net fence,, i glad you go and help, i cant get any help at all, and i have many feet of snow and -40 to deal with, and 90% of my live stock all goes to families in need. been doing it over 38 years .. the courts gave my old tractor to my ex plus all the funds i got from my law suit from braking my back at work, plus everything else..
You need more ducks with all that rain.
Seriously!
oh, take us along!
We will!
dont feel bad we all have to do laundry
