Hey y'all, I'm Meagan. My husband Andy and I grew up in rural NC and as newlyweds, decided we wanted something more than the typical American lifestyle. So we started growing our own food, I learned to can and so started this passion of food preservation and knowing where our food comes from.
Even though we grew up around this lifestyle, we still had to learn for ourselves, the ways of our ancestors before us. We now grow a huge portion of our food, including our own meat.
High society and MSM want you to think you don't have time to grow, preserve and cook your own food from scratch, but I am here to help you along the way. As a working mother of 2 on a busy little farm, there is time, we just have to prioritize it.
Through my weekly videos, I'll show you how to prepare easy meals cooked from scratch, tips on preserving your garden harvest and the occasional farm video. Live life on YOUR terms

That sounds fantastic. To create your own seed . Y'all work so hard. We're going to do what we can this week. I'm trying hickory king this year and sor gum. Being in the mountains of SC I have those big critters bears. I'm trying to get an old fence up and electrify some people oh no I mean critters. My bad. Hope that all is well and you had a great time at festival. I'm experimenting myself❤ to grow. different types of veggies. I'm glad I found your channel.Have a blessed day. Looks like will have a break of sun to warm up . ❤🙏
That's great!Looking forward to watch how this experiment goes!Thank you for all your wonderful video's.God Bless your family!
Im watching this on Christmas 23. I cant wait till we can plant again. Merry Christmas!
I cant either!
Awesome 👏 I can’t wait for this fall to see!! Did Jacob grow a couple of inches? The fields are amazing! Thank you for sharing. Keep up your good works ❤
I feel like he grows an inch every day lol he’s going to out grow me before I know it!
Growing up on a farm in Iowa we use to degassed every other row to get a better seed corn at 75 you know that was a long time ago
Each generation of the corn should get stronger and continue to enhance its positive strong traits. I'm interested to see how this works out, especially come next year.
It’ll be interesting that’s for sure!
Will be interesting to watch!!
I look forward to the results, I'm hoping for good results🎉
Can’t wait for fall, good luck
Can’t wait to see how the corn does. Good luck! 👍
It will be interesting to see that’s for sure!
keep us updated with the results
That's a good Landrace (Joseph Lofthouse would be proud). Some notes you may find interesting: The protein content of Jimmy Red is around 12%ish while the hickory king runs down below 5% as does most white corn (meanwhile common commercial yellow gmo/hybrids are as low as 3% protein). Reid's Yellow Dent that I grew last year runs around 9% and was the source corn variety for most of the US yellow corn hybridization/gmo activities after the 1950s -- focused on yield over protein. This year I'm doing as you are with mixing a "landrace" but I'm mixing several sources of blue/purple/red as my high protein mix; Separately I'm also mixing several sources of hickory king because of those huge kernels. Friend growing hogs said when he switched to heirloom corn he saw litter sizes jump 20% and overall herd health improved. Cooking hard corn: The alkaline process of making Hominy or Nixtamalzation for masa/tortilla flour, releases many more vitamins and can be wet-ground easier than dry grinding.
Thank you for sharing this with us!! I didn’t realize that Jimmy red had so much more protein!
Your right. That is how Reids yellow dent was made. After several generations of your selection of your seed on your land in your part of the country you should have better corn for your purposes than seed at the store. That's my opinion, that's just old school husbandry. Best of luck.
thank you
Hi Megan just wanted to tell you I just received your cook book a couple days ago and can't wait to try something out of it.
Thank you so so much for the support my friend!! I hope you enjoy it!
Good luck! Hope it works!
