Three dudes with different homesteads talking about homestead life, content creation, growing a homestead and building a life worth living for. Thanks for listening! #homesteadshoptalkpodcast
That was really nice of Ben to let Jason borrow his tractor. These guys are true friends and genuine.
Love, love the podcast! No matter what you guys talk about, it's interesting and fun!!
I love listening to these podcasts it is like sitting at the old man's table for coffee at the local Restaurant. Keep up the good work Guys, I also watch every episode of each of your individual podcasts. I guess I am addicted
Thanks for listening
I had a diner for 24 years and had an “old mans table” of seven everyday regulars. Ranchers, farmers, welders. As some old timers went to meet the Lord, they were replaced with new old timers. They had to pass muster of course. 😂. I closed it 17 years ago and the last regular old timer passed three years ago. Many people, including me, learned much about ranching and farming. My little town had 525 population in 1984.
Oh Jason - you're so precious!
Jason that Dream 😁😄😁😄
Jason’s dreams 🤣
Looking forward to seeing Al’s cool room go together too.
We’ve had all the locals telling us about those woolys too. This is our first winter in East Tennessee but seems pretty mild to me.
Thanks guys!
Men like you and your families make America great with the principles we were built on. You three have such an easy rapport with each other and the discussions are great. I am so glad you put this together.
HAPPY TGIF Guys 🎉💜✌🏽
Yesterday was the first sunny 55*day of this year in Caldwell Idaho. Outside I went to make the work list for 2024. It was great!
Love the new addition both Al (new barn ) and Ben (new addition to the house) Jason however I need to catch up on lol sorry Jason 😂 you guys keep doing what y’all do best 👍
Sow the Land, is my favorite channel of all time. Love Jason! A pure soul. Love his love of the family, land, his animals and his commitment to pure living! Watch all your channels and have learned quite a few things from Meg. Her nonchalant attitude towards homesteading is cool! While Al would truly go crazy if he didn’t have something to build. 😂 Love Jason’s dreams 😂. It always has a message.
Hope you guys have an awesome week also! As usual, a great podcast!
Jason, I was glad to see you! I have been worried not seeing your video's, thank you for updating me and letting us know you are behind in editing. I watch all three podcast and learn from each of you.
Thanks guys for video, love hearing about your week. Keep videos coming , great job.
Thanks, you too!
These three gentlemen are my top 3 homesteading channels I watch!! I look forward to watch each episode of Al every week along with Ben ..Jason again buddy I’m catching up I swear lol 😂 but I’ve learned so much with all three men and their families on how providing from your land and building and putzing around the homestead 👍🇨🇦
Glad you like them!
Me too.
I am an elderly lady who will likely never grow anything except a few tomatoes and flowers but really love watching the three of you discuss farm life.
Work is always coming 😊
Greetings from Barbados 🇧🇧
The Three Amigos strike again! You guys do a great job just talking and sharing ideas. It is so enjoyable listening to you. Love the beards. Thanks.🌹❤️NJ
Jason you have a great imagination, that’s why you have unique dreams… lol ..
You guys are an awesome team!! Look forward to watching every Friday!!!
❤ love these videos.
So glad!
Country view acres did two videos 1 or 2 weeks ago in which he used a tree/pole puler on his tractor to clear an overgrown fenceline and that worked like a charm (including pulling brush etc).
It's High praise 😅
Ben you and the boys did a great job. It seemed to go pretty fast. I think you said the foundation is the most important part and I think you’ve done a really good job!
Great podcast, guys! Three down to earth farmers talking about everyday life on the farm. Thank you.
another great podcast:) have a wonderful weekend.
Georgia Pacific is out of Canada. Use it a lot, building anything really. I know what Ben is talking about when he mentioned, Menards. That's all we use for lumber in the Midwest.
great dealers AL cant beat that really and having spares and understanding the system makes great sense.
FYI: Menards is a Wisconsin based company that does a really good job providing for the trades guys. Building supplies, breakfast cereal, cleaning and auto stuff... and their 11% rebate.
My guess is coming to a community near you.
Great talk today. Everyone was so comfortable talking. Appreciate all the channels videos.
Thank you N.C. for sharing your weather with MICHIGAN 48° Sunny Tues 62.
YOU'RE THE ONLY PODCAST I WATCH.
I LOVE TO SEE YOUR VLOGS AND NATURAL
LIFES🎉❤. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.. SE MICHIGAN PRAYING WITH YOU IN JESUS'S
NAME AMEN.❤🙏🀄
❤
Hey awesome you guys I have been listening to all 3 of your channels love love love them all keep them going they are sooooo good
Always great to see you all. I really enjoy listening to each of your comments and for the updates. Something funny, I knew "Ben" would take the freezer. I smiled and then laughed.
You all are an inspiration to those of us still dreaming of doing what each of you are living. Thanks guys...
Man what y’all do on your week makes us city people look goofy.
lol
So I had to change out my mailbox post because the other one had rotten been here like I said on my life so we put a new post. I took the mailbox off painted it wide again to make it nice add a metal flower rack to it so I can put some flower pots on there and I painted it purple I like color so we put it back and we moved it from where it was. The camera wasn’t picking up the mailbox and I do get prescription drugs from my father-in-law and I worry about someone stealing them so we move the post to view of the ring camera and I like it and my kids thought it was cute and my kids came by and saw it. They were surprised that we didn’t ask for help And my husband being sick it was a work out for him but we did it and it’s done and I’m already starting so I’m gonna put some cute flowers in there by seed
And then we just been doing garden work I mean we move things around yesterday and plan my potato seed and put a big bunch of carrots on and they’re beautiful so my daughter-in-law before eating and is going to use it in a photo shoot with the baby 🥕🥕🥕
Today I will seat some herbs and maybe some few flowers and I want to put more flowers more pollinators for vegetables to come and things like that so I’ll be working on that today tomorrow and Sunday all weekend is slow pace. I love to be outdoors when the weather is beautiful like this, we don’t have any rain coming anytime soon .🌱🌱🥕🥕🌸🌸
I prayed for you and your husband and family to be healed in JESUS'S NAME AMEN.
YOUR MAILBOX SOUND LOVELY. I LOVE PURPLE TOO. BY🌹🥀🌻👏🎉🛐
Good podcast. Not too long and not boring this time!
Jason gets sunburn while Al gets wind/cold burn lol hugssssss
Our squirrels don't have very bushy tails ,so a mild winter..NW Oklahoma. Closets Lowes, Home Depot is 149 miles! We have to buy from local businesses.. twice the price in some cases.
Our TSC has chickens, ducks in already..
Really like your Podcast been watching since Episode 1. So glad you 3 are doing these. I always laugh and it's such a great perspective with your indivual weekly channel videos..I am always find myself smiling w/ each one..I listen mostly while driving. Thanks for sharing your experiences
Don't worry Ben .. sharing a room with a toddler AND an Infant will definitely rev your enthusiasm up! LOL 😂 I remember your FIRST Build.. that was a great project. 🔨 ❤
I’m sure the tractor would help getting the fence polls “out to the fence line” if you had the forks on.. . Al sometimes used his as an “on site workbench”.
😂 yes agreed fan from Perth WA thinks this podcast is fab with each of your individual channels i watch its great to watch this as the info you guys give is entertaining, informative and so good for newbies starting out their own homesteads the challenges the rewards the disappointments great help to all
We are in Michigan and shop Menards over Lowes or Home Depot. Better prices and selections on most everything.
Always enjoy hearing you guys chat and always learn something new!
Ben, if you’ve never watched the movie called, “Life as a House” you really should. It is about a man who reconnects with his son by building a house. It is a great movie! I think of the contrast of that film compared to your close relationship with your kids. You’re making wonderful memories❤
dear Ben you can dig that cooler into the ground and make for your cold storage. So potatoes don't spoil in the kitchen. At least for short term.
Love Menard’s. Had them in Indiana and Michigan. They don’t have them in Florida either. Miss them.
The plow Ben is talking about we used back when we were installing fiber optic cable in Arkansas. We could install miles a day.
Burying pipe is essentially like laying tile in a field.
Andrew camerata has a lot of videos and reviews on skid steer mount attachments on handling brush.
Al gat all the tractor and a beautiful place 🚜🏎
This one is hilarious and fun.. tnx guys..
Watch Country View Acres, he posted a video of all the attachments for tractor.
That plow that runs and bury wire or pipe is call a ditch witch. The phone co ,cable co.and sprinkler co's . use it. Maybe you can rent one. I buried 1/2" electrical conduit 16" down with it. The neat thing is after you do it you can slide the pipe in and out of the ground by hand.
That was very interesting thanks
We've been raising Bronze breasted turkeys for a number of years. We did white ones only one year - I prefer the bronze. I rarely lose any turkeys though no matter which. Make sure you're feeding a high enough protein crumble. I usually start in the 28 to 30% range. I also supplement them with scrambled eggs for the first few weeks to give extra protein and give them the extra head start. Once I get to around 7 weeks, I drop the protein in their feed down since I start free ranging at that time and let them find their own until processing time. Good luck this year!
Great to see you guys. Jason, You need to invest in a tractor.
Just a thought here. Have you guys thought about maybe having a guest TH-camr on the podcast? Some great folks out there, Evan from Country view acres, Pete from Just a few acres farm, Jason from Coghill Farm. Love you guys as a team.
Jason, there's 24 hours in a day you know. You can still make your deadline. :)
The trench and put in a line and refill thing was used for Matt Cremona's barn/warehouse he built I think. I might have seen it somewhere else, but I'm pretty sure it was on his channel. It was cool to watch the video. It was putting in pipe as fast as you could walk at a fast walk.
Al, can you set the cool room walls on a concrete block foundation (1-2 blocks high) to increase the height of the cool room for better hanging height? Either dig down or berm up soil on the outside to insulate on the outside and maybe sheet or foam insulation on the blocks inside of the foundation?
doing a great job.
Love Menards!! non in Virginia! hopefully soon
Home Depot is a Georgia Company, and so is Georgia Pacific. That's why HD carries GP. Also, don't be fooled with the warm weather we are experiencing here in the South - We are prone to bad March snow/ice storms.
Ben use the freezer for a worm farm ,one of the boys could earn some money 👍
Ben look at the titan attachments pipe layer. I just ran 300ft of 3/4 pex and 10/2 wire in one shot and it took less than 2 hours.
Hay Al, I seen your tool cat in the background on one of your videos. Did you ever get that snow blower attachment hooked up and running.
Was shown in several videos.
Jason, I think you went to bed hungry. You should get a tractor. Put the go pro on the tractor.
It has been in the 40 and 50s here in the day and the new USDA Grow Zone says we can plant in April….. I live in the high desert and our last frost date used to be June 1. What do you guys think?
Jason, do not feed your baby turkeys for two hours,just let them have apple cider vinegar laced water during that time.
You guys are cool.
❤️
howdy
So when are y'all's ladies going to start a podcast?
❤❤❤❤❤❤
🇦🇺Jason, time for a tractor and implements.
I watch the Arms family ( Daniel) he has some great machines and implements for his 4 properties. Check them out.
It's what you call Indian summer, it fools you to thi know winter is over.
My husband asks why I listen to you guys… I replied I don’t know, just find them interesting!
JASON ... You could sell tickets to your dreams!! LOL 🎻 🐖 🐷
Which platform do you guy benefit from the most? Which one should I be using?
👍🏽
Al, don't mix turkeys with chickens. They will die. Make their own brewder. Whem they are feathered out, then you can put them together. I'm not sure what it is. I just know you will lose 90 to 95 percent of them. Edit: We'll see, lol
Pre-biden I got a chain fall for 50 bucks
it's not rocket science it is auger science
Ben, Careful of using your boy's backs up. My son says I ruined his. :)
Look at those beards
so they threw cured meats at you and you didnt give them an ancore ? we really need to know what jason ate the night b4 these dreams lol
Awesome podcast, you guy`s just keep getting better and better.
❤
This program is by far the BEST program on You Tube! Keep it up guys.
Wow, thanks!
100% voting they are the best
❤❤❤
"I had a dream"
😂 Jason's dreams are the only dreams I look forward to hearing. He is such a pure soul. I started laughing when he said, i had a dream.
I love listening to your podcast.
Ben it was nice of you to lend Jason your tractor. Have a great week.
@caryhrea3974 ~ I started laughing, too, as soon as Jason said, "I had a dream"
True that 😂
I was near roflmao when he kept going on 'bout the hams bein' thrown at him...in Italy...on stage...🍖🎻🍖🍖👍👀
I totally agree with that description of Jason--I have been trying to put my finger on what it is that is so likable and trustable about him, as I watch his videos. He's faced a horrendous disease and learned from it. I love all 3 of these guys, and their videos I watch more than anything else except Roots and Refuge, which is where I started.
You guys are always so fun and informative and REAL. Haven't missed an episode.
It's good for this old soul to see each of you guys every week! There's much wisdom along with humor. Very helpful .... I always look forward to each podcast.
Jason - check out Arms Family Homestead for the tractors & supplies - he's pretty knowledgable on tractors & tractor supplies.
I love your content and never miss an episode. Jason, keep those dreams coming. 🥰🤣
Love you guys have great week you are so entertaining.
Good morning, Al, Ben, and Jason!
Jason your hilarious 😅😅
Menards is based out of EauClaire Wi. And generally is in surrounding states. It is by far cheaper than Home Depot or Lowe’s. I am within 30 min of all three.
The way Ben talked about Advantak reminded me of how everyone used to talk about asbestos 😮😮😮
Yes, I'm that old😢😢😢😢
Me too! 😅
Yep, I am in MN and I feel like winter is not only done, but feel like it never really got here to stay.....it has been so mild like no other year I have ever experienced
Same here SE MICHIGAN
Morning fellas
Great podcast guys! I enjoy all your videos too!
Glad you enjoy it!
Oh, I wanted to say that I have a friend that has chickens, and they are in production big-time. She brought me two dozen of beautiful eggs. I almost look like Easter eggs all colors and I didn’t pay a thing because we kind of bartered. I gave her some of my para preserves, pear, jelly and she said we’re good so in two weeks I’ll get two more dozen but this time I’ll pay her.🐓🥚🍐🍐
Broken record, Jason, YOU NEED A TRACTOR! 😂😂😂😂
Please send one, he'll appreciate it!
