Poplar Spring Farm
Приєднався 6 лют 2024
My husband and I are both second generation homeschoolers. We both grew up out in the country homesteading with our families, him in NC and me in VA. Even when we were dating, we saw the value in the way we were raised; in warm Bible believing homes with siblings that were our best friends and learning many valuable skills. We wanted to do the same for our children. We have been blessed with 8. We homeschool and have farmed or homesteaded all their lives. Recently, since the baby is three and I have a little more time on my hands, I have started to make videos of what we do here on our farm. We raise almost all of our own food with cows, goats, pigs, chickens and a big garden. I hope you enjoy what we share.

This is How I Mulch My Potatoes For a Big Harvest
Ma just leave me alone I’m trying to dig a hole to the China so I can try the egg rolls
😂
I tried her recipe as well. My husband was always so-so on baked beans. However, he loves these. I may try your changes just to compare
Woooo-wee! ..dont forget to burn some incense when you are disturbing that ground. You dont want to upset the spirits, Or disturb negative energy Keep burning incense untill the project is completed..not every day but at critical step in your procedure. It will help. Keep safe please keep us updated . Very,very cool project..kind of spooky
Oh, I don’t think we need to worry about bad spirits. We have prayed over our farm. You might be interested to know…we have an old graveyard too.😉
You're so lucky u didn't have rodents to eat and bite and leave.
I know! We have had that problem before and it’s not fun! Having several cats seems to help with the problem quite a bit. We did have some damage but fortunately it wasn’t too bad.
Wow that looks delicious. That’s a great juicer.🙂
Hello friend. Your garden is looking great for it to be going into November. I never tried growing potatoes that late. Hope you did get some. I sure enjoyed watching!🙂❤️✝️
Thank you. It’s unusual for me to be able to grow them quite so late! We did get a nice harvest which will help us get through the winter.
❤
I neeeed that bean recipe please!!!!!

Having a little trouble linking it for some reason but you can go to my channel and find it there. I made it towards the beginning of summer.

That's so awesome!! How fun!! Gooooo Kids!!!! 👍
Kids being raised right
So beautiful! ❤
The carrots and potatoes look great! I like how you rotate the chickens. How often do you bring in new chicks?
Thank you. We get new layers every two to three years. By the time we have new ones laying age, we are usually only getting a trickle of eggs from the old flock which can be a bit hard with 10 people to feed, lol.
Nice looking carrots
Thanks!
❤❤
It is my first time on your channel and I have just subscribed. Your garden looks so nice and organized. Thank you so much for sharing. Keep up the good work. All the best on this journey.😊🙏
Welcome and thank you for your kind words.☺️
Praying your harvest won't be a disappointing end to the season. It looks great from this side!! 👌
Thank you. We have dug some potatoes and they are good. Planning on taking out the rest of them this afternoon.
Liv is not feeling this adventure! 😂
😂
Absolutely awesome!❤️👏 What is the hint?😁🌹 Have a cozy day, friend!😍💝👍
New subscriber here! I’m in southern WV / VA and it’s cool to see a garden I can relate too. Around here, most people put out a garden in May and tend it until August, then call it a year. But I’m more interested in getting the most out of the garden, like y’all do - is there a guide or video that you can share that gives me an idea of what to plant and when?
Welcome! We Love your area of our State. Best place in the World!! I have not done a guide specifically with what to plant when, but I do talk about what I’m putting in over several garden videos. I do have one on succession planting I made back in the early summer. Maybe late winter, early spring, I can do one specifically on what I plant when. That’s a great idea! Happy gardening!
New subscriber here! Gorgeous! Your garden looks awesome!
Thank you☺️
Your family has a lovley garden! Thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you☺️
Looks very good. You are obviously a skilled canner. It takes experience over time to learn the in and outs of canning. I seem to learn something new especially when canning something for the first time. Do you heat the food before you eat them to kill off any possible toxins.???
I always boil the beans for 10 minutes or so when I open a jar.
I want to buy some pork fat to learn to make lard but I don’t know how many pounds will make a pint. Can you please give me an idea how many pounds I need to buy? Thank you.
I don’t know how much will make a pint. Part of it depends on how small you cut it up, or grind it up, which would be even better. The smaller the pieces, the more rendered lard you will end up with. If you want to start with a small amount, I would buy 5 pounds. Make sure you know your farmer. Healthy fat is from healthy, pasture (or woods etc) raised pigs.
@@PoplarSpringFarm thank you 😊
You’re welcome. Have fun!☺️
Virginia ❤❤❤❤
Well, I know what I'm doing on Saturday!
I have a full video with detailed instructions about 20 minutes long, if that’s helpful.☺️
Sweet
Enjoyed your content! Subbed! Love from Alabama ❤❤
Thank you☺️
What’s your secret to growing such perfect fruit?
Good soil.
WOoow Strawberry.😍😍 We also have a big strawberry farm. Our farm is new and has not yet borne fruit
👍 Great
In the video, I saw a lot of sweet potatoes, and I often buy them to boil and eat. Your life is so peaceful, I wish you good health. ❤
Not sure where you are but I hope you and your family weren’t affected by the recent devastating storm.
Thank you❤️. Southern Virginia and all we got is a bunch of rain. Our hearts and prayers are with those who got hit.😭🙏
Hello from North Georgia. That’s a good looking pile of sweet potatoes. I enjoyed watching the family working together to help you get the job done. I have a sixty feet long row I will be digging soon. I got them out late because of the rain. Anyways your video popped up in my recommended to watch, so here I am just checking you out. I enjoyed watching!🙂❤️✝️
Thank you. North Ga is a great place. Used to live on one of the mountains there. Hope your sweet potato harvest is great!
Hint: I remove the top from the ketchup when I need more than a little squirt ❤. Thank you so my h for sharing your process!!!! ❤🎉❤. Would love to see the beans poured out into a bowl or pan to see what they look like. (food porn)😂

i use to burry some of the vine get extra potato
Great Harvest!
Jim looked like he was living his best life helping him mumma x
That's beautiful 🤩
Wow, that's a massive harvest ❤❤❤❤
Kids in the garden, learning, digging, and LOVING IT!! That's generational wealth right there. ♥️🙏🏻🇺🇲
Those are beautiful. Are they Beauregards?
Thank you. I don’t know what kind they are. Many years ago, we got one sweet potato from Walmart and got sprouts off of it by setting one end in water. Ever since then, I have started new sprouts to plant from some of the previous year’s harvest.
Would be my guess for sure! They get huge!
Hello new subscriber here. Nice harvest and nice family 🙂
Thank you☺️
It's so good to see the family working together, fantastic harvest..new friend here.
Thank you☺️
People will love your wisdom & gardening practices… they just need to find you!
I will watch this next…
Beautiful soil! I wish I had sail like that.
Just smart & hard working children! I love it! I wish I had animals to improve my soil.
The deer would devour those flowers in my yard & I live in town.
I’m 77 & love growing vegetables & flowers… you are very wise & I enjoy this video.. found you today.
