Al, if you wanna take your cornbread to another level.. takr away 3/4 cup of milk.. and add 1 can of creamed corn.. you'll be AMAZED at how delicious it is. Moist, sweet... so good!
Consider tying surveyor's tape to the trunks of the sapplings. They come in so many colors now that Gina and Olivia could decorate them so smartly! 💜🌵🌞
I just love your videos. You talk to the animals like they are people and I like that, one big happy family. Both meals looked yummy you always give me ideas for meals. Thanks again.
I noticed that sausages right back foot was up she's favoring it for some reason. I agree with you buddy spending time in the kitchen as a family brings you closer together. I am one of the 11 children when I was a boy at home eating around the table was a special time with my Mom and Dad and brothers and sisters. My dad was a preacher and Mom and him always prayed when we ate sometimes their prayers were lengthy and the food got cold. LOL. Wonderful memories to look back on.
It is nice to know what your farm animals eat. Then you know you are eating healthy as well. You guys have the best channel...I am always waiting for your next video.
Al, you might check the salvage yards and see if you can find a set of rims to fit Gina's Subaru. That way you can mount your tires on the rims, and you don't run the risk of damaging the bead by changing them on and off the rims on the car twice a year. You had a lot of good suggestions on fixing your cornbread, but my two are; use a 9 x 13 cake pan, or heat a cast iron skillet in the oven with some bacon grease and pour the batter into the hot skillet and grease. It will give you a crispy crust. I also like to add either real bacon bits and/or shredded sharp cheddar to the batter before baking. If you have some cracklins from rendering the lard from you hogs, or the rind off of the bacon or ham, chop some of that up and add it to the batter.
Pack some wood stumps around the small trees ,then you will be able to see them better. And I will make more shelters out for the animals too hide under when snow or rain comes and against the sun. Love your video's. Blessings.
We have winter rims, too. So much easier. Many use lower profile tires and rims (45 to 60 series) for summer and 65 or 70 series tires and rims for winter. Low profile rims can get beat in winter.
You remind me of my Italian grandparents. My grandfather was a butcher and he and my grandmother ran a meat-packing business. But, in spite of them both working, they grew all their own vegetables, they had a variety of fruit trees, and their basement walls were lined with shelves of all the food they canned. My grandfather built those shelves, along with decks, home additions, cabanas, etc. My grandmother cooked almost everything from scratch. They had quite the partnership. We visited them every other weekend, after church (we visited my other grandparents on the alternate weekends, and they lived very similarly).
When I planted peach and plum trees on my parent's property I put some tomato cages around them with some red cloth tied to them as flags. That way my dad wouldn't mow them down. Once they started getting bushy and visable, we took the cages down.
We love your blogs. Put tomato cages around the trees. This will be a marker you and birds will land on the top of the cage instead of your tree while its small.
You might need to get some colored tape and let it fly on some sticks to mark the trees. When I make cornbread, I have to make two pans-mine with sugar and my hubby's without. He says mine is corn cake. That's how I do meals-pick a bunch of veggies, add some meat and eat. Have a Blessed Day!
NO SUGAR IN THE CORNBREAD!!!!! Just kidding, but down here in the south that what we'd call corn cake. :) :) I'm sure you've heard this a thousand times but. We cook our cornbread in my grandma's old cast iron skillet (probably over 80 years old by now and slick as glass) with some bacon grease preheated to 400. When you pour the cornbread batter in. as you pour it in it fry's the bottom crust into a wonderful brown crispy crust. We also like to add roasted green hatch chills,shredded aged cheddar cheese and every now and then a minced jalapeno to the mix. Of course this isn't south cornbread with three ingredients added to it but boy oh boy is it good. To each his own, rock on brother and keep the great videos coming.
Hard Truth I live in NH too but your right and southern style in a cast iron skillet is how I do my cornbread too.. I learned from a wonderful southern lady in my teens.
The goats are looking so cuddly with their winter coats and extra pudge. 🐐What a great family day you had in the kitchen and I just had to make soup after watching you and then I baked a ham and now I am going to bake a boiled fruit cake. You gave me inspiration so thank you. 🥣
Drive a 1x1 stake in the ground next to the new trees and put a small piece of plastic or something tied to the top so that it is noticeable when you are mowing.
There really isn't much wind sounds even though been windy last few videos.....n was it just me or was sausage rear leg not being used so much...I thought I seen it in a previous video too...but I wasn't entirely sure... another great day in the life's of homesteaders..tysm keep them coming..🤗😎😋
We eat soup a lot in the fall and winter some of the best are my through everything together soups a lot of leftovers so good your meals make me hungry wish I had some of that cornbread now keep up the great job on the homestead
Your pig with brown on him looks like his back right leg is hurting. Didn't know if you knew. Great videos as always .Hope you all stay warm and healthy this winter.
The weather has been weird here in Indiana, too! Cold warm sleet rain warm. You just never know what it’s going to be like. Got our fence put up this weekend, now we just need to move the cows shelter over there. It’s nice getting projects done before winter!
An extra precaution for your new, tender, delicious trees, I would put a wide wire fence around them to keep the deer from eating them. And it would help keep the Kabota off of them.
We do lots of improv meals around here, as well as "leftover buffets," where little bits of things are re-heated and there are lots of options. :-) Waste not want not!
Add a metal fence post every second or third tree to protect them. I have used this trick on our farm for years. Hubby has a tendency “to not see things”.
Newly planted trees try placing a stake with a piece of red cloth to mark where they are so in case you do forget the stake and flag will remind you of there location
What a nice slow pace video.. loved the families pot luck creations. Yummy looking. We have the plow ready, I think us easterners are gonna have a heck of winter. Bless you guys
A little tip that helped me a lot during winter driving. I cut a piece of clear landscape/construction plastic, enough to completely cover the windshield. I covered it with the wipers over it to hold the bottom down. I close the ends in the doors as tight as possible. When I pulled it off the snow came off with it. And I just had to clear off any snow that was around the edges. Worked good for ice too. I folded it and kept it in the trunk The extra 5 or 10 min of putting the plastic on saved me a lot of cold scraping and brushing. I have a garage now but I still have the plastic handy for when I will be out all day. Hope this hint helps Gina
I’m hating this cold Al! We haven’t had any snow here in southern NH yet though, but we finally got a frost last week. And turning the clocks back is one of the most dreaded days of the year for me. I hate it. Your homestead/farm is looking wonderful, as did the meal! Yum!! Love meals like that!!! Have a wonderful day, Stay warm and God Bless!!!
Same here I have apple trees an a peach tree that I need to much asap. Work an home have been crazy as you already know. Love the vid dude. Hope to be a fellow wood burner like you all soon.
I'm anxious to hear if you got snow today! Those tires might have been put on just in time! We are getting weather reports that you are getting dumped on 😱 As always, I'll be watching tomorrow morning. God Bless.
So look forward to seeing each new video! Also appreciate seeing you giving thanks before eating meals. Our tires all have rims which makes changing over to winter tires easier.
Morning coffee with Al is over !! Looks like a leaf raking morning out there. Love a good ad lib meal, always comes out different and good especially in the winter months.
I have my winter tires mounted on steel rims; all four autos ,(we in Canada) buy them from the Canadian Tire Store and also many other stores as well.I am sure in the USA you could find them maybe the tire store on line . It makes it easy to change from summer to winter tires and it is easier on the tires to not be beating them up changing rims every season and the cost
Drive a couple t posts on either side and you'll be able to tie them up as the grow. Keeps the straight at the base. Corn bread looked yummy. We add creamed corn to ours. Studded tires are not allowed here in Iowa.
Down here in TX when we get freezing temps we wrap our trees with some kind of insulation to keep them from totally freezing. The Home Depot or Lowes sells stuff but I'm sure you already know about that. I know when I lived in MT the ground froze a lot of the way down and I don't remember anyone wrapping any trees but then I never saw any that were that young.
Gina you cook like me! When anyone asks me what something is called I always say, “Lisa mess,” or lunch, dinner (whichever time of day) and EAT IT! LMBO They never turn it down that’s for certain! LOL Looks great and TFS! God Bless ~Lisa
Love when you guys eat together.....people get so caught up in things they don’t realize they aren’t talking.....meals are the best time to catch up with what is happening in a family.
You nailed my grandmothers recipe only she added salt and less baking powder she said the salt activates the baking powder. I haven't run up with anyone who made it that way you really surprised me
Have you ever thought about bacon pieces in your cornbread to up the protein? (I also like to add a can of kernel corn. The water in each kernel moistens the bread as you chew and it's not so dry!) 💜🌞🌵
Al, curious here when do get the snow that stays, and is not the teaser snow? Where were at it snows but only stays for a day or two. Smart chickens, they know when to hide 😊 Family meals, AKA together time at the dinning room table is amazing. Gina's stir fry looks good. Tonight it's homemade potato soup at our place.
Another way to remember where the trees are while they are so small is to buy some of those 4ft tall orange reflective parking rods that you line your driveway with to see where to park or drive at night. They are about $2 each and worth the investment. You can reuse them for any similar type need after the trees grow large enough to remove them. www.homedepot.com/p/48-in-Reflective-Rod-Orange-848638/202051800
Good luck with your trees I have only a few full grown Butternut trees left. I guess its the Canker that has slowly killed the others off When they would produce a nut it had a worm or bug in it. your 200 miles north of me so maybe it isn't so bad there.
So when are you building the garage? Also you should get some extra subaru rims from the junk yard so all you have to do is switch out the tires, not have to change out the rims............
Have Olivia make a little sign says trees don't mow and then put it right in front of them so that you can remember not to mow them. :-) I'm jealous that you were able to get an American chestnut. They will not grow here in the high desert.
Two suggestions. One rotate buck on tractor so rain water won't collect inside when you park it. And use land surveyors tape on trees so you wont accidentally cut them down.
Noticed @ 12:40 Your Spotted Pig Is Favor'n A Hind Leg...Keep An Eye On This As It Hamper Any Smoked Hams In The Future...Still Love Y'alls Daily Insight & Updates In My "Peeps" Lives....LOL
When I read the heading I instantly thought about possible theft which got me worried for you guys. Then saw them under the coop and breathed a sigh of relief. But this got me thinking about security. Most people think about security after they have an incident. While we hate to think that there is anyone out there sneaky enough to do such a thing it might be good to think in terms of at least minimal security to see who or what comes on your property. This cheapest and easiest way to do that is to set up a trail camera. Strap it to a tree with a view of the property (capable of catching a car or truck entering your property) and forget it. Battery lasts for months and takes HD videos when it detects movement. Only have to check once a month unless you see something strange and then just review the video. Also, good to just see what wild animals visit your property. Example: www.cabelas.com/product/BUSHNELL-B-MP-TRAIL-CAMERA/2763652.uts?productVariantId=5757314&WT.tsrc=PPC&WT.mc_id=GoogleProductAds&WT.z_mc_id1=05098582&rid=20&ds_rl=1252079&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIoaipgoSd3gIVCr7ACh2iAg_bEAQYAiABEgKVufD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
I was impressed that you seem to have every tool and machine you need. Then I saw that KitchenAid Pro 600. Dude, your living my dream.
Al, if you wanna take your cornbread to another level.. takr away 3/4 cup of milk.. and add 1 can of creamed corn.. you'll be AMAZED at how delicious it is.
Moist, sweet... so good!
Michael J. Schaefer oh yeah, i’ve done this, it was heaven. 👍🧡
Cut half of milk and add sour cream or plain or vanilla yogurt! Another great variety... much more cake like and moist.
Thanks everyone for the great tips!
Oh wow..yum thank you for the tip
Consider tying surveyor's tape to the trunks of the sapplings. They come in so many colors now that Gina and Olivia could decorate them so smartly! 💜🌵🌞
I just love your videos. You talk to the animals like they are people and I like that, one big happy family. Both meals looked yummy you always give me ideas for meals. Thanks again.
I noticed yesterday that the orange pig had a problem with its back right leg. Noticed it again in this video. 12:53
I noticed this as well, good to know that I'm not the only one who saw the favoring of that leg.
The pig might have a stone stuck in its foot or an infection looks in pain either way you will know which when you check it's foot.
I would say al Al is close to his animals he knows!
please check sausage and report back...ty Al. we just care. about critters ,yours too. God Bless you all
Definitely something wrong with her leg or hip.
I noticed that sausages right back foot was up she's favoring it for some reason. I agree with you buddy spending time in the kitchen as a family brings you closer together. I am one of the 11 children when I was a boy at home eating around the table was a special time with my Mom and Dad and brothers and sisters.

I would invest in a set of rims to go with those tires. That way you don’t have to go to the tire shop every winter and spring.
Yes. That would certainly make it simpler for Al. We have 2 full sets of rims & tires for our truck. It makes switching so much easier.
We have winter rims, too. So much easier. Many use lower profile tires and rims (45 to 60 series) for summer and 65 or 70 series tires and rims for winter. Low profile rims can get beat in winter.

De Bean.....That's how my Grandmother Hazel raised me ! :-) :-)Priceless relationship! She was of Scottish decent.
Love how she knows just what to do smart baby lol. 😃. ❤️ The goats lol.
Good advise Al, All families should break bread together !
Thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden AL. I love to watch your video bye 👋 bye 👋 👨👩👧👸👕👓🐩🐔🐓🐥🐈🐖🐐🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍
Did you end up putting a long stake next to each tree so you know where they are...don't want to mow over them next spring!
You could always put an orange flexible driveway marker by each tree :-)
When I planted peach and plum trees on my parent's property I put some tomato cages around them with some red cloth tied to them as flags. That way my dad wouldn't mow them down. Once they started getting bushy and visable, we took the cages down.
We love your blogs. Put tomato cages around the trees. This will be a marker you and birds will land on the top of the cage instead of your tree while its small.
Sausages leg is really bothering her. Good thing shes going to freezee camp soon. Aww Ms.O looks sleepy, hope that cold weather isnt getting her sick.
Snowin' & mowin" LOL!!!

A southern girl here-thats how I make my cornbread too. With a side of red beans (pinto)!
Micki Martin oh yes the pinto beans, yum! The leftovers make the best chili too..
This native NH gal sometimes adds a little sugar and cranberries:-)
@@dianehall5345 That sounds wonderful, and I know I would like Hard Truth's recipe with the hot peppers as well. Take care.
I like the music you play in your videos!
The goats are looking so cuddly with their winter coats and extra pudge. 🐐What a great family day you had in the kitchen and I just had to make soup after watching you and then I baked a ham and now I am going to bake a boiled fruit cake. You gave me inspiration so thank you. 🥣
Sounds like us in beautiful Nebraska, that's how we roll!
Drive a 1x1 stake in the ground next to the new trees and put a small piece of plastic or something tied to the top so that it is noticeable when you are mowing.
Moose is the Man! Gooood Moose!

Al, don't forget about Walnut and Hazelnut. Plant some, in few years you'll enjoy them during cold, winter days. ☺
Can’t believe it’s snowing again there.
Burrrrrr!!! Have a Blessed day lumnah family as well as all you Modern Homesteaders 😁
An extra precaution for your new, tender, delicious trees, I would put a wide wire fence around them to keep the deer from eating them. And it would help keep the Kabota off of them.
Are the tender stems too small to wrap?
We do lots of improv meals around here, as well as "leftover buffets," where little bits of things are re-heated and there are lots of options. :-) Waste not want not!
Add a metal fence post every second or third tree to protect them. I have used this trick on our farm for years. Hubby has a tendency “to not see things”.

Love your family. Awesome.
It's 42 degrees in Missouri.still Green leaves on some trees
some bright color orange or yellow tape would be ideal to see whats there..also you can add some mesh guards around each tree.

Thanks and hello. Nice day and cooking. Love those meals the best!! Hoping piggy's leg is better by freezer camp.

I hate it. Your homestead/farm is looking wonderful, as did the meal! Yum!! Love meals like that!!! Have a wonderful day, Stay warm and God Bless!!!
consistently cold for October this year. Studded snow tires are the safest for winter driving.
Same here I have apple trees an a peach tree that I need to much asap. Work an home have been crazy as you already know. Love the vid dude. Hope to be a fellow wood burner like you all soon.
Looked like some nice hearty meals on a cold day.
I like the new endings. The encouragement is great.
I'm anxious to hear if you got snow today! Those tires might have been put on just in time! We are getting weather reports that you are getting dumped on 😱 As always, I'll be watching tomorrow morning. God Bless.
Try your cornbread with lard instead of oil...........so moist and yummy!
Mark the trees with a RING of ROCKS three feet or so from the trunk of the tree. You have plenty of resources in your new Pasture!
So look forward to seeing each new video! Also appreciate seeing you giving thanks before eating meals. Our tires all have rims which makes changing over to winter tires easier.
Morning coffee with Al is over !! Looks like a leaf raking morning out there.

Perhaps a stake next to each tree that way they are easy to identify

Cornmeal Johnnycake according to my parents who hatched out in 1910! Cheers from Canada
Love when you guys eat together.....people get so caught up in things they don’t realize they aren’t talking.....meals are the best time to catch up with what is happening in a family.
I see what your doing there Mr. Al - infusing the soon to be bacon with pancake and maple syrup flavor. Nice.
Thanks for another awesome video! I enjoy spending time with your family you guys are great! God Bless and have another wonderful day....
Thank you for the video.You are a Good Husband and a Good Dad.May GOD Bless you and your Family
Enjoyed this very much. Thank you! Have a great day!
Hi I know your daughter because she is in my class in 5 Howard and you guys are to good at this
Love your cooking videos. Now I want cornbread.
Both meals looked yummy! Thanks for sharing.
Had me scared for a minute.....no chickens!!!
Me too!
You nailed my grandmothers recipe only she added salt and less baking powder she said the salt activates the baking powder. I haven't run up with anyone who made it that way you really surprised me
Have you ever thought about bacon pieces in your cornbread to up the protein? (I also like to add a can of kernel corn. The water in each kernel moistens the bread as you chew and it's not so dry!) 💜🌞🌵
I've made a similar recipe with a cup of creamed corn that I've shred in the food processor.
Al, curious here when do get the snow that stays, and is not the teaser snow? Where were at it snows but only stays for a day or two. Smart chickens, they know when to hide 😊
Family meals, AKA together time at the dinning room table is amazing. Gina's stir fry looks good. Tonight it's homemade potato soup at our place.
Some of the best meals are created when it's time to clean out the fridge.
Another way to remember where the trees are while they are so small is to buy some of those 4ft tall orange reflective parking rods that you line your driveway with to see where to park or drive at night. They are about $2 each and worth the investment. You can reuse them for any similar type need after the trees grow large enough to remove them.

I hope those chestnut trees are a little ways away from your house. Their hauls are terrible to deal with. Thanks for sharing.
Good Morning
It's two years later... What happened to the Chestnut trees? 💜🌞🌵😷
Good luck with your trees I have only a few full grown Butternut trees left. I guess its the Canker that has slowly killed the others off When they would produce a nut it had a worm or bug in it. your 200 miles north of me so maybe it isn't so bad there.
Your weather sounds like Tennessee weather
Enjoying the videos!! Thanks
Wow! Love it!
So when are you building the garage? Also you should get some extra subaru rims from the junk yard so all you have to do is switch out the tires, not have to change out the rims............
i do the same thing home made soups have to have noodles cooked on the side so they dont turn to mush lol hugssssss from Ontario Canada
Al, why not smack a couple t-posts or brightly painted rebar in the ground near those baby trees, do it soon so you dont mow them down next year.
Have Olivia make a little sign says trees don't mow and then put it right in front of them so that you can remember not to mow them. :-) I'm jealous that you were able to get an American chestnut. They will not grow here in the high desert.
Two suggestions. One rotate buck on tractor so rain water won't collect inside when you park it. And use land surveyors tape on trees so you wont accidentally cut them down.
Love it so cool
Noticed @ 12:40 Your Spotted Pig Is Favor'n A Hind Leg...Keep An Eye On This As It Hamper Any Smoked Hams In The Future...Still Love Y'alls Daily Insight & Updates In My "Peeps" Lives....LOL
I should also switch to my winter tires.
those chickens scared me too, like u said predator is very likely .... keep up with the fantastic videos
Living the dream, am I right?!
I forget which pig is which but the one with red in it has a wounded back right leg. He's limping pretty heavily when you gave them the scrapes
gooood moooournig Al,if your Chestnut trees R like mine they have a very thorny husk over the nut, U may want to check that out.
We put stakes beside our small trees with survey ribbon tied to them after we mowed 2😐
