  • We have been fixing up our property for 4 years now and making it our homestead. We still have lots of work ahead of us to build everything we want to have here. But today, lets take a tour of the areas we are currently using on our 41 acre property and maybe see some things you haven't seen before.

    We live in southeastern Illinois on a 41 acres homestead. We just finished building our log cabin overlooking our pond. We are trying to grow our own food and raise livestock. Follow us on our journey living the rural life and developing our property and becoming more self sufficient.

    I'm happy I found this one. Pretty much my dream place other than the 73 acre farm I grew up on. You're going to do great, Evan.

    The area in the add on to the bank barn was where they used to Farrow hogs. Would also work for when your goats are kidding.

    awesome homestead! Thanks for the tour. For me the best part is the property buffer from other people moving in next door....must be a very freeing feeling.

    This channel is a great pleasure for me, a farm life of the sort my family lived, also in southern Illinois, from the 1920s to about 1950, and where I spent summers as I grew up in the suburban world of St Louis. How I wish I could have bought a farm forty years ago!

    You have so much structure that you got with your acreage and we got no structure. Absolutely a blessing. We purchased our 36 acres of brush and cactus 13 months ago. We now have electricity, soon will have a water well and we have cleared most of the brush to sprig some grass and our creek crossing is almost done. We hope to start our 2,000 Sq Ft 1 bed room house soon. I love your pond. We will never have one like that as we don't get the rain and our land isn't rolling. All of that said, I appreciate your tour!!! Your doing an awesome job.

    Thanks for the tour! In Wisconsin, most bank barns are the gambrel roof'd dairy barns. Milking parlor in the bottom and hay storage up above with a silo or two attached to the side. Very interesting to see buildings from different areas and how they were used. I like the way you have long term plans for everything and just keep chipping away at it.

    I haven't seen this subscription in about 4 years at least. I remember when you lived in the camper and were just moving into the property, the trouble you had with fixing up the drive. Good to see the progress, know it is a lot of work, but a labor of love. Good tour, nice video.

  • @rayv7010
    @rayv7010 2 роки тому +1

    Evan and Rebecca,
    You journey reminds me of my childhood on my grandparents dairy farm. Three uncles were dairy farmers as well and we kids enjoyed making hay and harvesting stuff from grandfather's massive garden. IMHO you are amazing and heroic as animals do not care for themselves nor does the land. Thank you for your vlog and appreciate very much all your work and dedication especially while keeping down full time jobs. Courage!

    I'm a new sub to your channel and found you when I was looking for Cabin builds.
    I started watching you build your house and had to go back and catch up from when you started with this property and just fell in love with the story. now I watch every video you put out and can't wait to see what is coming next.
