We’re the Grimes family - welcome to our homestead!
For us homesteading is all about enjoying farm life, striving to be more self-sufficient, and being good stewards of this plot of land we’re blessed to call ours. We keep a garden, raise animals for meat and dairy, fix things when they break, and build what we need to make our lives better.
Homesteading is challenging and we are far from experts. We make mistakes but we have a passion for learning and trying new things - it’s how we grow!
We have a lot of fun around here, too, and the kids love living the country life where they can hoot and holler as loud as they want, play in the dirt, and help out with the chores. We do a lot on this little homestead, but most importantly we’re raising them to have a deep appreciation for all of God’s Creation.
Please subscribe if you’re interested in what we do around here, and we hope to see you around!

Bamboo Forest on my Kentucky Homestead!
This is CRAZY! How will we clear the bamboo and privet before they completely take over. Clearing fences with a brush blade and discussing how our goats will eat this pasture!

This is How We're Preserving our Herb Harvest
Although generically it is “Power Wheels” but from the quick view of the ride-on I think it is another manufacturers ride-on. The actual Mattel Power wheels are pretty straight forward and simpler pretty much batteries, toggle switches and motors. Some other manufacturers have controller modules that have push button start, engine and horn sounds, etc. I believe that by connecting the 18v you burned out much of the 12v controller board. There are replacements controllers available on Amazon that will work with the higher voltage.
I am trying to understand why so much meat goes into ground. I never butchered a cow, but when I slaughter a yearling sheep I only keep about 10% of the meat on the animal for ground, mostly in trimmings. And this is despite sheep not having larger primals like beef does. I am looking into very similar cuts to yours from a half, but maybe having more ribs (short, back, plate) and keeping the picanha. Is it possible to have more cut as stew meat or "chunks" that I can cut into smaller roasts/fajita/stirfry etc..? I want to keep ground beef closer to 20lbs Thank you
It’s going to totally depend on your butcher. This amount of ground beef is pretty standard from my experience. I usually end up with less % from a deer, with more stew meat.
Lots of great plans for additional pasture area for the goats, that is a lot of bamboo too Ragon! Not sure how often they throw up shoots but you can eat them if you catch them small and tender, yumyum in stirfry. (Assuming the type of bamboo doesn't matter, but it might?) Definitely can use some for making fun things like trellis or tiki torches, and other sorts of woodworking things. I think the hat and face shield is awesome, better than having some splinters in your face or eyes. Just need one of those hardhat cupholders with a drinking tube for water or sweet summer iced tea or beverage of choice. 💚
Great ideas, thank you!
It's good to see you Reagen!Thanks for taking us along on that adventure! You are blessed with a great property! And an amazing family! Your son looks like a good worker & it doesn't get any better than teaching them the Scriptures when they're young. We all need God's word firmly embedded in our hearts!! God bless!
Thank you Merry Anne!
As a glasses wearer I LOVE that hat! I need one!
Just added a link to the description box in case you or anyone else is interested. I do love it!
@@GWPHomestead thank you!
You could build a whole new barn out of that bamboo, holy moly! I feel like we walked your whole property but I do not remember all that! Crazy looking.
It's hard to get around in places but we are getting there!
Please, please, PLEASE tell me you ARE feeding that bamboo to your goats!! I planted bamboo on my property in order to have a future nutritious browse for my goats because they have about cleared the brush off my property. I (you) can feed it to reduce your dependency on hay. You are so lucky to already have an established stand!
Yes we are! They love it, just gotta get the big stuff knocked down.
@@GWPHomestead 👍👍👍
Bamboo is an absolute nightmare! It does come in handy for the garden though, it makes great trellis lol.
Takes over fast that’s for sure!
I love pretzels and this is on my to do list too! Thanks for sharing your experience! 😊❤
Thank you!
2 to 1 (2cups water to 1 cup baking soda). Is a fine baking soda bath in general.
Thanks for the tip!
How about follow up? Did it work?
I'm good on necrotic goat balls....😳 ty for not including that in this vid😅🙏
Fried the control module even though I used a voltage regulator! Sons Camaro needs an overhaul
Looks so good! I turn my oven on for a minute just to get it warm and then put the bowl of dough in it to rise! The heating pad is also a great idea!
See, Megan baked her sourdough starter once doing something like that.... so the heating pad is our best option 😅
Oh these Pretzel Bites look AMAZING! Thank you for sharing your version and your "biggest critics reviews" - I just love them! There is no way to hide that Yum Gobble as positive feedback. I had not thought of not having the baking soda water on the stove when making bagels or soft pretzels OR that parchment was supposed to be dampened before using! Thanks again for sharing - This is fantastic!
Thank you!
Oh, interesting about the parchment paper. I wet it when I need to shape it to something, but not on flat pans.
These look delicious, Megan! I love your 'ain't got time for that so here's a hack to make it faster' approach hahaha. We all can use those little tips in life. Bo is too funny, his nose is just counter height. I bet he's just hoping you drop some yummy stuff. The critics were very pleased it looked like! 💚
Thank you!
Those look SO GOOD!!! Any homemade bread is so much better than boughten!! Thank you, Megan! God bless!
It’s always delicious! Thank you!
This is the first time I ever saw your video. I like it because it’s not perfect. You’re real like the rest of us, but you didn’t tell us how much butter or how much brown sugar to put in it.
Sorry about that! It’s in the recipe in the description box, somewhere. Thank you for watching!

YUM! Great job!
Thank you!
Awesome! Just today taught myself a need skill… made homemade bagels for the first time! Mark one more thing off the "to buy at the grocery store" list!
Woot!
Lol 😂!! Ours too and they certainly aren’t quiet lol! But they ARE adorable! 🤣👍❤️
Definitely adorable!
Can confirm, Megan's pretzel bites are AMAZING! Auntie Anne's WHO?!
Thank you!
They look so yummy. ❤❤❤
Thank you!
I make bone broth weekly and rarely have extra to put up. The time I did have extra and canned it, I ended up using it so fast, so now I freeze it in the event we have too much 😂 Bone broth in place of water to make rice is the best!
Sounds great - thanks!
Thank you. Yupu just saved me from misery
Nothing better them home made bone broth, and so good for you too! I have always canned my pumpkin in the chunks and then let is drain over night before I use it to get the extra juice out, which I save of course to flavor icing with or add back in the event it drained to much. Great video Megan!!! ~~Vicki~~
Thank you!
Omg I haven't been getting videos in my line up in the morning. I thought you quit. I almost got on a sage and stone video and asked "Where's Megan at?"but I didn't wanna be a weirdo. Love y'all
Nope, didn't quit, we're just slow sometimes. 😃 thanks for thinking of us!
Lots of great things made with the scraps/excess so to speak! Definitely is nice to be able to turn it into something else before composting or feeding to the animals. Great job Megan, broth looked beautiful and it was very interesting to see how you make tallow in multiple steps like that to refine it down nicely. Ragon, you crack me up with the popup text sometimes... I was holding my breath! Pumpkin puree turned out lovely. 💚
Thank you!!
16:41 that's a pint jar. The measurement they give (pint) is to the tippy top of the jar. You don't actually get a full pint of product but that's okay lol! That's what we can our pumpkin puree in!
I thought that was the case, thanks for clarifying!
Sooo what you’re saying is. Save all of your meat bones and your veggies scraps. We need to make broth before we compost. Got it! 😂 thank you for sharing 🌸💜
Yes! Thank you
@@youngflourishing4632 yes and you can go just a tad further and feed the chickens the scraps and compost their poo :)
@@SageandStoneHomestead I have to get my chickens first. Hopefully next spring! 💜
@@youngflourishing4632 Why wait? No better time then the present to get chickens if you ask me <3
@ we currently live on raw land. And we are developing our homestead. Right now we are in a RV. I want my girls to have the best home possible so I’m trying to plan it all out. We have buzzards and hawks and coyotes. So I need to know they will be safe lol
Sage and stone & GWP on the same wavelength lately! Per usual, lol!! I love that you were doing the exact same things as me the past little bit!
Probably has something to do with y’all talking almost daily 😂

Great minds thinking alike 😊
Smart video have had goats for 4.years. This is spot on. Deserves more views.
Thanks!

Have you tried brewing beer?
I made authentic, fermented root beer once in high school ag class, but otherwise no.
Amen!!! Psalm 5:11 😊❤️🙏
Great job! I’ve done cold processed and melt & pour - love those both! But I do like the idea of hot processed so I can use the soap quicker. The cubes are awesome - you could totally put some rope in there and make a soap on a rope! 😊🙌❤️
Thank you!
Heyyy great job!!! 😊🙌❤️
Thanks!
We have Nigerian dwarf goats and love them but we also notice there’s no demand for them here in MO. Ours are from AZ and are of a high milk production breed. We love them and have 9 in our herd. We’d love to have a cow also but our property isn’t the best for that. I LOVE your new skill a month videos!! I’ll have to catch up on those! What a great idea! I’m all about learning new things too! Nice to meet you all!! God bless! 😊❤oh! Your new skill idea!! I’m busy making soap this month and I saw you did that…I’ve just been trying to make soap in new ways so trying to make my own recipes and also include new things like aloe and yogurt…so you could expand on that one. Or do you do any yarning? I crochet and knitting is on my to do list. Likewise sewing! I love to sew and that’s a fun one! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!! 😊🙌❤️
I really enjoy the new skill videos Megan puts out on the channel! Q and A was good, might think about adding it twice a year.
Thank you! Twice is year is a good idea, just need plenty of questions!
This is the best video about what to expect yet. Thank you ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks
Congrats on the new position and it's confirmation God is Good! Being able to share the Word with local folks AND UA-cam is a wonderful gift! And about the "new skill" video - (and I know this is highly personal but wondering if you might want to share) finding a scheduling/reminder system that helps you get things done. Example: If the reason seed-starting "isn't your thing", it could be remembering to care for them consistently. Would setting reminders on your phone be adequate to help or would a visual reminder (like a grown-up version of a chore chart or task completion calendar) help you more? I know I have struggled a great deal between knowing WHAT needs to be done, getting overwhelmed with the number of tasks, and then trying to decide what needs to happen first, and then getting caught up thinking I didn't have TIME to do that one thing, so end up starting a lot of little things that are never a completion of a task, but a start to several to be pulled away again by "regularly scheduled" tasks like making meals and end up exhausted, feeling defeated at not getting done what I wanted to get done by the end of the day. One great thing to ADHD is having so many interests and having so many ideas in your head, but it's also the greatest struggle because they're not organized like a library - more like a snow-globe trinket that you shake to make it look like snow over a scene. Only the globe is your mind and the snowflakes are all the ideas. At the end of the day, you might have a few that stick, but most of them have all landed in a layer. I dunno - just wondering if you had that kind of experience and how you've dealt with it.
For Megan and her brain, the reminders don't really work, she just ends up ignoring them (they end up on my phone instead 😂). Thank you for the suggestions!
Love watching you guys pop up on each others channels, obviously a wonderful friendship there ❤
Yes! Thank you
