🌱NAR Email Exclusive Farming Tips - bit.ly/2PO0ZTf Interview with Gooseberry Bridge on How to Leave the City & Make Money Homesteading - ua-cam.com/video/ygbnzBLbCYk/v-deo.html
I would love to see a video on your maggot bucket. Would that be possible? Have you had any problems with skunk or coyote's with drawing the preditors in? I have my chicken yard half in the woods and half not and it is fenced about a half acre. Some of the area's of fencing is 5' and most is 4'. I believe Coyotes can jump that easily.
I watched a video where a farmer had three gardens around or connected to a chicken house. The farmer watched how the chickens would go to roost at the end of the day ; the time relative to the time of sundown. After studying this for a while, the farmer would release the chickens into the garden 8 minutes before sundown. The chickens would make a bee line into the protean laden garden, eating up only the grubs, then as sundown came would leave the garden to roost, thus not eating the garden produce. Enjoy!
@@VK-qo1gmyou missed the point. Can always feed at other times. This is explaining how to bug your garden and keep the birds from eating what you don’t want them to.
omg...Missouri....still in city ....full garden....I hear mt neighbors come outside and talk when watching me......I want chickens...but need to find out how many I can have...LOVING THIS
This is totally remarkable. All that recycling and efficiency. How creative. I'm so impressed by the permacultural aspect of this farm. Thank you so much for this report!
Powdery mildew is most common but that can be taken care of by not watering the leaves. Spraying water mixed with baking soda can prevent that. But worth the effort. They make the garden lively
I watched a programme in the uk about a project where you can hire a herd of goats to basically eat all the stuff you need clearing off your property .in return the goats leave you plenty of manure to use in your growing of foods . Diatemaceous earth is great for dealing with bugs on your vegetable crops .you need to get food grade DE but it is innexpensive and you get a huge amount . I watch a few homesteading channels and some of them are marvous at using pigs and chickens to clear large areas and to produce compost. Hollar homesyead with ben and meg The Rhodes with justin and rebecca rhodes I love the method justin uses deep bed litter for his pigs and you just keep applying more layers .i think he throws corn into it to encourage the pigs to root through it all and turn it over . Ben does the same with chickens and a big compost heap he tips vegetable matter kitchen waste ,weeds spent plants into a big pile sprinkled with treats for the chickens and badically they scratch and dig in it and turn it into compost for their raised beds .they feed bugs to their chickens too.im not good at explaining maybe you have already seen their material ?
I enjoyed these 2 videos with this couple so much! Unfortunately, my health won't allow me to homestead, but if I could, I would absolutely drive from east Tennessee to Missouri to learn from this couple. They are obviously well versed in what they're doing on their farm and are obviously excellent teachers. These videos are the most enjoyable homestead videos I've ever seen. Thank you both so very much for sharing your expertise. And thank you to the interviewer. You did a wonderful job. This was so enjoyable.
Thank you for all the information. Knowing about milk cows,and what kind to look for. One cow would give more than enough milk for the family. Three to five gallons a day. I'm so glad my daughter bought a home with enough land to be efficient for her family. Growing a garden helps out a lot,is more healthy cause you know what you use on your plants. But the chickens,rabbits, turkeys, milk cow, an my daughter keeps a bull for meat. They use to pick out a steer on an organic farm,then the owner had it processed and wrapped. But it's very expensive. They growing their own. She and her husband work. They have gotten the schedules on point. They aren't stressed an even have vacation time,and time for family and friends. They don't do any of this for income,more as supplementing their income.
After watching this, I realized we are definitely on the right track❤️ I am learning everything I can while living in the city. I am so excited for what the future holds for me and my family! The only thing that's left to do is find property someday!
Don't be discouraged if it fails. Try and have primary and secondary objectives because a lot of it is more challenging on a day to day level than you may think!
Same here! In Autumn you can go out early in the morning with a few shopping bags and fill them with fallen leaves to use for compost or so. Just wear gloves. Not everyone picks up after their dogs.
Or you can get the leaves and discarded garden stems, leaves and throw them into the chicken cages. Chickens that are caged long for the fresh cut grass in your fields and it disappears in a few minutes. Chickens are fascinating creatures..... lol@@ingevankeirsbilck9601
What a wonderful life they are leading! Very thorough interview - almost too much because I don’t know how to process it all!! ❤😂. Piglets & Pumpkins!!!!!
This is a great show! I just wish I lived closer! Would love to see this homestead! Thanks for bringing this program to folks like me! I am from Brooklyn, NY!
Flower petals could be dried from the trees and used for confetti. Instead of paper, umbrellas can catch the petals.. all the fruit can be done the same way the extra goes to feed the animals..
Layering conversations this way, tells me she comes from a big family or a family with ADHD, she would fit in with my family just fine, her husband doesn't seems to mind it....
I love that you make it a fun challenge! We lived better with nature when we were producers, then we were programmed to be consumers, I'm happy to see more people going back to the way we were. :)
I love this video. Thank you for the thorough tour of your farm and operation. We are in the process of buying 62 acres with a house on it, and want to do something similar. I didn't catch in the video how much land you are working with here?
I didn't want to write it, but yes very distracting & annoying. Understandable, they're excited to relay info about their farm, but we need to actually hear it. One at a time guys! 😊
I think they have one. It was mentioned in the beginning of the video (I think, it's so chock-full of information I'll have to listen to it again a few times!)
It’s interesting what you were saying about the dairy cows designed to over produce. I barter, and do not run dairy cows, but trade my produce with people who do. Lately I’ve been bartering with a commercial dairy farmer who owns cattle bred this way. The milk straight from the vat is watery… badly. It doesn’t have that rich creamy, sweetness that fresh milk always has. It tastes a lot like the stuff you’d buy from the supermarket already, before processing. Very odd
I know it's been 8 months, but it's worth a try.... There is a share button, it's at the end of the row, on the right of the "like" button. Just "slide" the row to the left to see it.
Thanks for all the info, this is helping me and my granddaughter, I am a widow and need all the info and help I can learn about. But you lost my mind at the maggot bucket. lol. I cannot do that one, no how , no way. I'm wondering how do you butcher a turkey? Could I just raise them and sell them live? And how much would I charge for a live turkey? Also, if I get goats how do I protect them from wolves and fox? I live in Alaska.
I am sooo disappointed. wjem ypu spoke about your calf, and saying cheese, and whey, BUT YOU DIDN'T MENTION ICE CREAM!!! lol lol LOL. So, you'll have to come to my homestead. I make my own vanilla too! I like you channel.
I watched your video, about your goat's milk and you didn't like the taste. You can add some goat's milk in your soap. Goat's milk makes such a difference in homemade soap.
How did you go from gardening to feeling experienced enough to bring in animals? And what animals were first and why? And what choices were next or secondary as far as importance or use? How did you learn to start caring for so many animals at once? Meaning, did you do research before buying chickens and did you start with a really small number to see how it goes and go from there? How’d you get so comfortable to say I’m going to add all these animals now on top of the gardening/flower beds and all the money to care for each animal and then how do you decide you can afford to purchase all those animals? And where do you purchase them? Sorry so many questions. Maybe a whole new video idea? Lol @gooseberrybridgefarms
My 3rd grade teacher was a hog farmer and she supervised the kids scraping their trays at the end of every lunch to make sure nothing bad for the piggies got taken home, but all our scraps went straight to pigs the whole time I was in elementary school
I do lunchroom duty. I bring a 5 gallon pail for the kids to put their food waste in every day. What the chickens can't eat goes in my compost bin. Other things I get from the school...shredded paper for lining my Eglu (chicken tractor), gallon cans for putting around my tomatoes and peppers, and cardboard for my garden paths and starting more no till beds. Some of the staff think I'm nuts, others are happy that I help reduce, reuse, recycle. The students think it's cool to help feed my chickens. I always keep some new pictures of them on my phone as quite a few of the students ask to see them. I'm only a para and make little money, so these little 'extra benefits' can really add up to me.
I wouldn’t feed hogs what they are feeding our children today in school. Who would have ever thought schools would feed children lunchables as a “ nutritious lunch”. 😡
Had to turn this off bc the woman talks over her husband EVERY time! How does anyone live with that? So rude, so disrespectful - too frustrating to watch.
Seriouslyyyy I thought its noticed only me.😢 soooo rude. Husband seems sad and pissed about that. I won't be surprised if he divorced her though its damn annoying
I think you have a awesome thing going there at your farm. the flowers are beautiful. I learned a lot just watching, and listening. Your canned food pantry is amazing! If only I had that much energy!
Our tiny homestead is barely on .46 acreage. We are in the process to sell our home and move onto 6 acres right now to expand all we hope to do. This video is incredible and thank you so much for it. So educational and filled with inspiration. We are in North Eastern Tennessee and so much that this video shared is wonderful insight for a family such as ours. God bless and please continue all you do. Wayne
@@NaturesAlwaysRight our home just sold this past Friday. Our future acreage here in North Eastern Tennessee is now becoming a reality. 🙂 We will still be 100% debt free. Thanks for your nice comment.
@@sparksfamilyhomestead Hi! congratulations on your homestead dream coming true! I’ve never been to East Tenn. I did see some property for sale in Mountain City (not really a city haha) and around the VA border. How would you describe those areas? Soil type? Water availability? Type of people/community? Humidity levels? Economy? I would like to get property somewhere in East Tenn that’s within 30-40mins of a larger midsized town for shopping/hospitals/farmer’s markets/etc. I’m looking for our homestead property that must have some sort of natural springs, creek, etc. must have natural water and be able to drill a decent well. Thank you for any advice about E.Tenn. and congratulations again on your journey moving forward. So exciting!
@MissAngela007 I can only share on where we currently live. For over 2 years my wife and I were looking for land exactly what you have stated. Since living here in North Eastern Tennessee, I have realized, we are close to North Carolina and Virginia. We currently live near Greeneville Tennessee in Greene county. We moved here from North Texas back on 2019. Thus I had no knowledge of this area but knew I wanted to live here because on the 4 seasons we get and the mountain beauty of everywhere. The land here is very fertile. I'm into gardening and everything in our climate zone of 7a seems to thrive. I haven't fertilized any of our fruit trees and grapes. They all love this rich clay soil. Thus, in my opinion, buy land soon before its too late here. Tennessee is becoming very popular and people are moving here from all over the lower 48. Land is still affordable but for how long? We do not know. If you move to east or north eastern Tennessee, you have decent size big cities such as Knoxville, Kingsport and Johnson City. You easily can find what you are looking for within a 30 minute commute from those cities. Bubbling springs, creeks and ponds are abundant on many parcels of land. I wish you much favor and success in your desire to live here. God Bless, Wayne.
Welcome to the HOMESTEADING community. I love the reduce, Reuse, recycle lifestyle. My family calls me a hoarder because I save everything, but I don't care. I can find a use for for almost all things. I was raise poor and was taught to reuse everything . It is so nice to meet y'all.
I'm learning to reuse lots of things because it saves me trips to the store, and I think it's illogical to pay the city council to come and take away perfectly good stuff from me. Whoever invented government was evil and crazy.
You guys are so on point. I reuse and re-purpose everything I can. I am an advocate of redefining the concept of American consumerism. Thank you for promoting using what you've got¡ ❤
Greetings from the LooseNatural farm in Andalusia Spain where we currently live through a drought and we are creating many products to live off the land.
Great show so informative with lots of details. I could watch them for another hour. They have learned so much and willing to share their knowledge freely. Thanks so much for doing this farm tour with this wonderful family.
I love your farm you guys have all animals even turkeys. Look so peaceful and beautiful. I would love to up every morning and see my backyard like yours. Love it!
I'm going to watch this again and again and take notes!!! Thank you you guys!! I needed this so much! I'd love to know how long it took for you to get this going.
I bought 3 female goats and had one bred so I could continue to milk her, and she gave birth to 5 kids! Now we have 8 pet goats and no milk! They are adorable pets and don't give us any trouble but it is not a homesteading project, it's 8 more mouths to feed. We love and enjoy them so at least they bring us joy and that has value. What I did not know is that not all dairy goats are good milk producers. Some are just cute pets. Next time, I'll get a good, proven milker.
Do you Watch Heather @SageandStoneHomestead if not she's Great along with many others she is into playlists for each animal n "How To" ❤ her too😉💭❗.. I'm So grateful for all the Homesteading n Farmers on here 🌞🌱💖🌱🌞❗
I absolutely loved to hear how they do this so sustainably using what they have. Fascinating about all the use of a chicken. Best vid I’ve seen in ages.
I bought a house and 3 acres in East Tennessee, really as a retirement place. But I would love to quit my job and start homesteading. I could do without the income, but the retirement and healthcare keeps me working. So in the meantime I’ll keep watching videos and learn what I can.
I have loved both Art & Bri AND Bri from Scratch! I love the idea of calling the channel Art & Bri from Scratch. Personally, I love the current content but would love to hear more of your spiritual content as well. Don’t have Instagram. All of your family content blesses me to no end. I feel like I know each of you since I’ve been watching from the beginning. Having prayed for Art when he was gone it is a huge blessing to continue to pray for your marriage now. I’ll watch whatever you post, but faith, family and farming take precedence for me!
This lady was too much after 5 minutes. She's the queen of finishing people's sentences. I don't know how he can deal with that. Wish I could have watched it

Not a very healthy way to keep chickens, if they only get to free-range for such a short period
@@VK-qo1gmyou missed the point. Can always feed at other times. This is explaining how to bug your garden and keep the birds from eating what you don’t want them to.
That is genius!!
It's amazing how much work these people do. What shows me at 70 years old there is no way on this earth that I'm going to be doing all that work.
Rabbit poo is the best fertilizer. I moved my rabbit hutch, then planted a small garden. It was fabulous.
How is it ok that people think it’s ok for rabbits or any animal is caged up and lives on a wire
omg...Missouri....still in city ....full garden....I hear mt neighbors come outside and talk when watching me......I want chickens...but need to find out how many I can have...LOVING THIS
Smart and hard working couple 👍👍👍
This is totally remarkable. All that recycling and efficiency. How creative. I'm so impressed by the permacultural aspect of this farm. Thank you so much for this report!
Incredible that you can make money from flowers!!! 😮 Here in Argentina it won't be an option. Good for you. Love you system
I’m starting zinnias. First time I heard they have problems with pests and/or disease. I’ll have to research more.
Right! And do the problems spread to other plants or just get worse for zinnias the next year?
Powdery mildew is most common but that can be taken care of by not watering the leaves. Spraying water mixed with baking soda can prevent that. But worth the effort. They make the garden lively
They can get “leaf spot” bacterial or fungal that can spread all the way to the flower petals - and powdery mildew
Adding steeped egg shell water to your plants could give them shiny leaves
I watched a programme in the uk about a project where you can hire a herd of goats to basically eat all the stuff you need clearing off your property .in return the goats leave you plenty of manure to use in your growing of foods .

Nice ~ 44:54 Look at the dog right here, so cute and she acts like she is totally into the conversation.
This is a simple and very clever way to grow. They got a new subscriber in me, I'll be using these ideas a lot in my rocky slope!

Loved the video and the couple. Want to visit the farm.
What a beautiful homestead. Love, Love the idea of selling 'cut your own' flowers! A Happy Place for people to visit. Thoroughly enjoyed the video~!
She keeps interrupting him. Makes it hard to listen throughout the video. However, it is still pretty good content.
OMG . She loves to talk! Very interruptive and annoying!
@@Faust_77Not sure I can finish the video. Woman talks OVER her husband constantly.. like she knows/does everything. She is too annoying
Layering conversations this way, tells me she comes from a big family or a family with ADHD, she would fit in with my family just fine, her husband doesn't seems to mind it....
That’s normal when two people are explaining things. Especially a couple that are both very into something together.
It's just communication, they are fine with their situation. Active communicator, look it up.

Really wish they wouldn’t talk over each other.
I wondered if that bothered anyone else 😵💫 still very informative
Yess, a total turn off while watching.
I didn't want to write it, but yes very distracting & annoying.
Understandable, they're excited to relay info about their farm, but we need to actually hear it. One at a time guys! 😊
This couple gives off some bad body language. I see friction between them.
@@VK-qo1gm Taking turns could resolve it. Or agree ahead who will talk about what etc.
Excellent video - Thanks!
Thank you. Great video. Very impressive.
this couple is the definition of resourcefulness and teamwork. wow. talk about a meaningful life. ❤️
they are lovely! thanks for this video
Excellent video!
I love what you’re doing , and I learned a lot from you guys. Have you ever thought of starting a UA-cam channel?
I think they have one. It was mentioned in the beginning of the video (I think, it's so chock-full of information I'll have to listen to it again a few times!)
I see many lovely pollinators, which is so critical on a homestead or farm.

❤❤❤Delightful and informative
❤🇺🇸❤
How many acres is this farm?
Great content! Got any resources for farms like this in San Diego where I can send my business vs big box stores and the usual nurseries.
Great information in this video. She constantly interupts her husband. It made it hard watching this til the end.
It WASN'T disturbing... get a life
I love 💕 goats! Beautiful farm and homestead! You mentioned that the goats ate poisoned hemlock- wouldn’t that transfer to their milk? 🤔
Their pantry looks like an old country store.
Can you hold into this for a second going to get a salad.. brb.❤
Do you mail order to Montana?
What are mylar bags?
A lot of good information, but this lady talks non stop, even on top of her husband, I would like to hear more of his nice and calm voice.
I am sooo disappointed. wjem ypu spoke about your calf, and saying cheese, and whey, BUT YOU DIDN'T MENTION ICE CREAM!!! lol lol LOL. So, you'll have to come to my homestead. I make my own vanilla too! I like you channel.
with smart, hardworking people such as this I don't think will hit the Great Depression again!

Get over yourself!!

@MissAngela007 I can only share on where we currently live. For over 2 years my wife and I were looking for land exactly what you have stated. Since living here in North Eastern Tennessee, I have realized, we are close to North Carolina and Virginia. We currently live near Greeneville Tennessee in Greene county. We moved here from North Texas back on 2019. Thus I had no knowledge of this area but knew I wanted to live here because on the 4 seasons we get and the mountain beauty of everywhere. The land here is very fertile. I'm into gardening and everything in our climate zone of 7a seems to thrive. I haven't fertilized any of our fruit trees and grapes. They all love this rich clay soil. Thus, in my opinion, buy land soon before its too late here. Tennessee is becoming very popular and people are moving here from all over the lower 48. Land is still affordable but for how long? We do not know. If you move to east or north eastern Tennessee, you have decent size big cities such as Knoxville, Kingsport and Johnson City. You easily can find what you are looking for within a 30 minute commute from those cities. Bubbling springs, creeks and ponds are abundant on many parcels of land. I wish you much favor and success in your desire to live here. God Bless, Wayne.
Welcome to the HOMESTEADING community. I love the reduce, Reuse, recycle lifestyle. My family calls me a hoarder because I save everything, but I don't care. I can find a use for for almost all things. I was raise poor and was taught to reuse everything . It is so nice to meet y'all.
I'm learning to reuse lots of things because it saves me trips to the store, and I think it's illogical to pay the city council to come and take away perfectly good stuff from me. Whoever invented government was evil and crazy.
Homesteading definitely added a level of complexity to my hoarding tendencies. 😅
Guys I've had to put my yearly food on my book shelves in my dining room it can be done
True Story 😉💭, Agree👍💯❗...
You guys are so on point. I reuse and re-purpose everything I can. I am an advocate of redefining the concept of American consumerism. Thank you for promoting using what you've got¡ ❤
Greetings from the LooseNatural farm in Andalusia Spain where we currently live through a drought and we are creating many products to live off the land.
great video but these two talk over each other A LOT.....Apparently they're used to it.
I see marital problems. Look at their faces while the other talks. The silent one is annoyed and they barely look at each other.
What a wonderful couple!
The garden starts business is amazing. I wish i had access to something like that locally.
Maybe you can start one? It sounds wonderful.
Excellent video. I learned so much in just the little details that I hadn't thought of before. ❤
Great show so informative with lots of details. I could watch them for another hour. They have learned so much and willing to share their knowledge freely. Thanks so much for doing this farm tour with this wonderful family.
Her constant interrupting 🙄
Love your farm and how you are doing it
The bellowing cows do when in heat is called “bulling”. Enjoyed your tour. We have a small homestead in Michigan and enjoy seeing what others do.
I need that Sunnyside Up t-shirt 👍🏾
Just stumbled onto your channel and WOW! You guys are inspiring - SO MUCH going on!! 😮 love love love ya’ll - thanks for showing the way
I love your farm you guys have all animals even turkeys. Look so peaceful and beautiful. I would love to up every morning and see my backyard like yours. Love it!
Wow the woman really needs to stop interrupting the man
Right! he’s struggling to finish a sentence 😂
Every time she tries to speak, he jumps in to give the info himself... Haha.
He's comfortable, leave them alone. They are energetic, i envy their ambition .!
I'm going to watch this again and again and take notes!!! Thank you you guys!! I needed this so much! I'd love to know how long it took for you to get this going.
A whole hour, whoa... 🍿 Thank you. Good work lately 🤙
Thanks, actually have your post scheduled for tomorrow 🍻
ps2- I upgraded it to today,60 minutes from now 😉
Go to studio and mentions in the (comments page).. mentions is a new thing, heh..
I bought 3 female goats and had one bred so I could continue to milk her, and she gave birth to 5 kids! Now we have 8 pet goats and no milk! They are adorable pets and don't give us any trouble but it is not a homesteading project, it's 8 more mouths to feed. We love and enjoy them so at least they bring us joy and that has value. What I did not know is that not all dairy goats are good milk producers. Some are just cute pets. Next time, I'll get a good, proven milker.
Do you Watch Heather @SageandStoneHomestead if not she's Great along with many others she is into playlists for each animal n "How To" ❤ her too😉💭❗.. I'm So grateful for all the Homesteading n Farmers on here 🌞🌱💖🌱🌞❗
I absolutely loved to hear how they do this so sustainably using what they have. Fascinating about all the use of a chicken. Best vid I’ve seen in ages.
Good Tuesday morning Nature's Always Right. Just like you I'm escaping the city - and instead have chosen homesteading. 👍
I bought a house and 3 acres in East Tennessee, really as a retirement place. But I would love to quit my job and start homesteading. I could do without the income, but the retirement and healthcare keeps me working. So in the meantime I’ll keep watching videos and learn what I can.
Great interview. They are so forthcoming with what they do, how and why. They are very inspirational.
One of my best pets was a mini lop ear rabbit that was litter trained. Quiet. Loved to snuggle too.
Glad to hear the woman talk!! Great video. Pyrenees are great, I miss ours every day
I have loved both Art & Bri AND Bri from Scratch! I love the idea of calling the channel Art & Bri from Scratch. Personally, I love the current content but would love to hear more of your spiritual content as well. Don’t have Instagram. All of your family content blesses me to no end. I feel like I know each of you since I’ve been watching from the beginning. Having prayed for Art when he was gone it is a huge blessing to continue to pray for your marriage now. I’ll watch whatever you post, but faith, family and farming take precedence for me!
This lady was too much after 5 minutes. She's the queen of finishing people's sentences. I don't know how he can deal with that. Wish I could have watched it
