"And who will help me make the bread?" Asked the hen. "Not I," said the cat. "Not I," said the dog. "Not I," said the pig. "Yummy," said the man in the video.
It may be humbling that so much effort went into merely 9 loaves of bread--but it's a real reminder of how lucky we are to be able to buy nearly unlimited quantities of bread for a fraction of an hour's work.
How did early man ever make it eating and planting wheat. You are putting about as much time and energy into producing this stuff as you get from consuming it, and that's not even counting losses from weather and pests.
@@tylerwinkle323 Simple answer is that they didn't. Wheat was often treated in many societies as a luxury product compared to more hearty cereal crops such as rye and barley. Modern technology and farming methods make growing wheat as a staple food much more practical for people with modest means.
I used to go around sticking baby carrots in the ground thinking that they would grow up Into "adult carrots" not knowing that my parents would just put carrot seeds right next to the baby carrots
@@robynreeeee The romans had a system of separating the grain easily with a horse that went round a big Stone and the grains fell down the shaft. why they became soo powerfull’ they where really advanced, even made sewage systems that still work to this Day..!!
This is a man he made his own bread by starting from a seed. It took him about a year to do it, and all he says is yummy. You are a man worthy of all of UA-cams respect. Most people cant even grow an aloe vera plant or even weeds.
It's not hard to grow plants, anyone can do it. Currently I've started radishes, zucchini, beans, butternut, pepper root, yellow onions, red onions, celery, broccoli, two types of lettuce, three different herbs, raspberry plus three other berries I don't know the English name of and rhubarb. It's not hard at all, it's almost like they grow by themselves. Oh right, because they do.
Can you imagine doing this... I would have to rethink my whole scenario that keeps me up at night. If the house burns down what do I grab first... My family album or my flour...
The pure fact that this guy was dedicated enough to not only grow and harvest his wheat but document every step of the way over months into one seamless video was just everything. I liked and subscribed so fast. This was the only video I have seen but this level of dedication is was all I could ever hope for and more. Thank you!
It took 263 days to harvest it, and it took youtube ~3 years to recomend it. It takes time but it's all worth it. Liked a lot the video, and coincidentally I was going to start growing wheat before watching this. Thanks a lot for your time and information to bring this great video. The yummy was worth everything.
Coincidentally I was going to start growing wheat but after watching this video, I’m not. I have the seed and I’m growing it for novelty but as far as making bread flour, forget it. Thank God for farmers. Great video, saved me a lot of time.
Watching this in April 2020, as so much of the world has changed in such a short time, this is a reminder that life is simple; or at least should be. Thanks @msbrunell, the past was yummy
I'm sure the grain stores well, as does the flour =P Seems time consuming, but I guess if you keep at it year after year, you always have a supply on hand
Honestly...this is one of the most valuable videos I have seen on UA-cam... weirdly mesmerizing, but also a revealing look on what can be achieved with the right know how and innovative use of modern technology...you have given me much to ponder. Thanks
Wow. I didn't see this video until 5 years after it was made. That being said: I can honestly say this was the MOST rewarding video I've ever seen on UA-cam. I felt calmed, I learned, the music was perfect as I was learning exactly how to harvest the grain, and I broke out in laughter when he was eating his bread on camera at the end. The cycle of life and food we take for granted and how rewarding it is to become connected to our food. This was better than even the DoDo videos. Awesome job! I would love to see a grain grinder that was attached to a stationary bicycle, so you could just ride and grind.
The young generations need to watch videos like these so they can appreciate how much work goes into the foods we eat and take for granted. Great video
Stop acting like you worked in a factory in the 1800s. Now for some reason we've gotta just go and mill our own fucking wheat because we're apparently not being grateful that no one is tending to wheat farms by hand anymore bitch go back to when 40 was considered old age
Younger generations? Most 80 year olds these days never grew anything, they just buy their bread at the supermarket. I'd say WE all need to watch these videos to appreciate more the food we eat.
I'm almost 60 yrs. old. I never grew grains before, only bell peppers. I wanted to try other crops and just purchased some wheat grain to plant; but when I heard that it had to be threshed (I only had a little hand cranking mill), I was intimidated and was going to abandon the idea of planting wheat. When I saw this video, my hope was revived and I thanked God for you and this very easy to understand video. Amazon should give you a commission because I just purchased a manual food processor and sieve set.
Incredible video. Makes me think about the times of my ancestors 2000 years ago, the Spanish Visigoths. I've made my decision and when I move out I'll plant my wheat. Thank you so much for making this video.
Granted, it's unlikely your big-name providers of wheat and wheat products goes through this whole process by hand (they automate with massive machines), the process is pretty cool. I'd like to try it, too.
To improve your wheat (or other cereal) fruit collection rates, speed, and general cleanliness of process it maybe worth looking at different options. Bucket threshers, that use a chain and a drill to thresh larger amounts at one time, maybe adding a mesh and an air blower in the bottom, for seed to drop down through, and for chaff to raise up initially in a grass collector style mesh, like a pre-winnow. Winnowing with something like reel seeds open source seed sorter, allows adjustment for different seed types and weights, with quick reprocessing, and no loss of seed by it ‘sliding’ off the side of your winnow basket. Should be able to increase your volume per hour, your capture percentage and reduce mess generation, for only a little cost, and some fore-thought in planning.
Doing it yourself at home takes a LOT of work. The only reason wheat/wheat bread/wheat products are so cheap today is this whole process is mechanized and automated to do all the labor for them. But you would be a fool to NOT learn how to do this at home. One day life as we know it will come to an end and if no one knows how to do this stuff anymore, well, we're all dead....
Imagine being a simple farmer a thousand years ago, when your life depended on being able to do this efficiently, with home made equipment, on a scale large enough to feed yourselves and also keep some chickens through the winter months. And that is just one small part of a traditional farm's ecosystem, all intricately interwoven -- including many animals. What an achievement !
@@RobertLutece909 Different places required different degrees of self-reliance. Early European settlers in North America were known to make water pipes from hollowed-out logs . . And even when and where grist mills existed, they generally took half of the flour in return for milling the grain -- some people did not have that much surplus to spare.
what i learned toady was with maintaining/caring for a crop , a couple of hours of prepping and cooking the product and 263 days later you will get a loaf of bread.
This seems exceptionally long. Possibly because it was grown over winter. From 46 to 52 degrees latitude in North America, the time to maturity is roughly May to September so 130 -160 days depending on conditions and variety of seed.
Maybe with rotation produce can be consistant. But It looks like loads of work just to get some flour which coasts fairly nothing, I wonder what's cheaper, the space used to grow it which could be used for other veggies, the amount of water that went into it and hours of refining/electricity etc
This is exactly what I searched for. I've never been more thankful for the fruits and vegetables growing in my backyard and thought maybe I should learn how to grow wheat 😜 10lbs of wheat will probably last for a couple of months so I'll have to rethink and grow more of everything around the year!
Exactly!! How did they know that the wheat berries could produce flour ....and then bread. Lots of trial and error from other plants and berries i guess...smh
But also how did people think of drinking milk out of a cows teets... And then to take that milk, let it get MOLDY, then have cheese! And then combine the cheese with the bread dough, add some tomato sauce and make pizza!? And then take that wheat let it rot in water for months, then have beer with your pizza... them some smart ancestors..
16:00 *internal dialogue* "This tastes terrible..." I only joke, it was a good video. I'm sure it was some of the most memorable bread you ever ate since you had to wait a bit shy of a year to eat it. Thanks for posting!
my first time growing wheat and wasn't sure when to harvest. loved this video because explains everything and didnt have to listen to someone who likes to hear themselves talk....music calming.. words enough explanation...quite good with your hands aka blower in one and winnowing motion in other.
The way you made and edited this video for us, you did it perfect, thought of everything, even the mess on the floor from winnowing was shown and you’re damn right I enjoyed seeing that mess for some reason. Thanks man it was great
Thank you! It seems so basic, but for a suburban/city gal like me, I needed exactly this video to answer some questions I've had for a long time. Thank you for sharing the process. Excellent finish. :)
You might check out Sara Pitzer's Homegrown Whole Grains book for more info. We would benefit from a small scale, affordable, commercially produced threshing/winnowing machine, but to my knowledge such a machine does not exist. A good project for all of those engineering students out there.
My grandparents worked as farm hands for many years before they got land of their own. My grandmother told me the old way of separating grain from chaff was to either use a blanket or a very large bowl and toss it lightly. Do it with a bit of wind, and the chaff blows off.
this has to be the most interesting video I have ever seen. I think we all take it for granted that we don’t have to know how flour comes from a wheat plant. crazy how dissociated we are from the sources and production of our food
This video made my day! I've often wondered if I could plant a small patch of wheat and it looks like I can. Thanks for showing us the entire process from start to finish...especially that beautiful bread! Great job!
msbrunell I loved it. I realize your not a baker, but if you had kneaded the bread dough and let it rise 3-4 times it would have given the bread a finer texture. I used to read the children's book The Little Red Hen. I wanted to bake bread when I was younger. I finally made it in my 20s. I loved baking bread. It tasted so much better than the store bought junk. Especially right out of the oven still warm! Thank you for your video.
Every few months I rewatch this just because it is so satisfying. Not a lot of people show the entire process including used stuff they grow. Very neat and the bread looks good!
Why do you feel spoiled? The privileged one in the situation would not be you. In order to do something of this scale you need land or a backyard which most people do not have access to. In this day and age being able to grow and harvest your own crops (in the setting of the video) is a privilege that many urban people do not have. It is not a privilege to have to rely on industry for our food, because what happens when the chains of distribution get broken or other things? You have no food. Not only do you need access to space to plant but you need the knowledge that goes along with it. Thankfully thanks to the internet learning how to do this type of thing is easier but there are still many reasons why this would be considered a privilege.
This is wonderful. Thank you for your lesson. If I will be lucky enough to live on a large plot of land one day I’ll definitely grow my own food, and wheat.
This is one of the most satisfying videos to watch. Respect sir!! You grew, harvested, cleaned and processed and made some delicious bread after all. I bet it tasted like heaven
Perfect. I planted some white Sonoran with my 6th grade gardening class, but since I’d never done it myself was pretty vague on the actual process. This answered all my questions! I’ll show them this video since they won’t be able to do the whole process in a single semester. Thanks!
Very nice presentation. I grew wheat (hard red winter wheat) for the first time this year. Somewhat better results overall, but I'm sure there's lots of variation. I planted about two pounds of seed on 577 square feet (my wheat plot is a trapezoid, not a rectangle, hence the unusual square footage) and harvested 54 pounds of wheat after threshing and winnowing. Most of the hard work is in that part! I still have buckwheat, field corn, and grain sorghum to go this year! I learned a lot from the wheat experience, and I suspect that it would be at least possible for a gardener armed with a good knowledge of the crop (and chemical fertilizers and fungicides!) to get the equivalent of 100bu/ac in yield.
How many loaves of bread can you make with 54 lbs of seed? Also this question may be obvious but, is wheat "seed" the same as wheat berrys such that you hold out 10% of the berry harvest for the next year's crop?
What is amazing is how combines cut down this process so heavily. A 35,000 lbs or 15 ton machine goes into the field and all in one go, cuts, threshes, sifts (or winnow) and collects (stores) the berries. Love it! Then you get reminded through videos like this, that it is absolutely humanly possible to grow and process enough for your own consumption. I am fortunate enough to have a combine and just need to get seed cleaned or clean it myself in small quantities. If you ever have fresh bread from non GMO wheat, you will NEVER buy store baked crap again. It's absolutely not the same thing. Processed flour/baked goods are a lot closer to newspaper than actual food.
Video was very informative. Very concise. I appreciated the data: space used, seed weight planted, timeline, and results in weight and loaves. If you add salt to flour, loaf may rise better for you. Salt does not feed or activate yeast; but keeps it in check. Sugar, flour, carbs are what feeds yeast.
TissuePaper. Yes. Adding it then is slowing yeast life. Better to mix salt in with dry ingredients to get a better rise. But, there's lots of different ways to do things.
Salt is unneeded, a second rise after more working would be better. Then tamp down, roll it up and proof before baking. More time rising means more yeast, more flavor, more gluten structure developed. Ideally have a refrigerated rise as one of the rises. 12-24 hour refrigerated rise followed by a 6-8 hour rising might be marvelous.
Tissue Paper, I am pretty sure that was *sugar* he added to the yeast to *proof* the yeast. Yeast *must* have *sugar* . I too was wondering *why* he did not add *salt* to the bread!
Yessir, chaff is the leftovers once you take your berry out. The berry is used, the rest is food for ruminants or bedding for the animals that cant eat it.
Thanks for this! We have grown a small plot of wheat the last couple of years but have not threshed much of it yet. I like the idea of just pulling off the heads instead of trying to beat the whole stalk. I would have figured the food processor would damage the berries but obviously it didn't. Definitely going to try this!
Heh I kind of thought that too but then for thinking, maybe the smart thing to do is to stop at some point then just plant them next growing season. They don't need to be super clean wheat berries with no extra stuff in it... Right? That's what I would do.
Love it! Makes you realise how much we take for granted though, doesn't it? Would be interested to know roughly how many cups of flour you were able to get from that little crop.
Now I see it! Every one of those wheat berries is precious. And so are you msbruness and so is everyone who watched this video (thumbs down crew included). And so is everyone who breathed the air that was made abundant for them on this day. And to each and every one of us I say...greatness is coming!
Giving my son a lesson on where food comes from and how must show gratitude and appreciation for the labor and effort to make it possible for us to eat. Watching during Pandemic 2020.
Thanks for sharing!! I dream of one day having a massive home garden, and being self sustainable. I haven't the first clue about gardening, so this helps immensely
Nothing sure beats home made every thing fresh. It can not be any purer than what this video has shown. Now you have inspired me to do the same. I have never eaten a fresh mill flour bread or any thing from the same flour for that matter. I already do a lot organic garden already this is the next progression.
Not only was this informative but quiet. O deeply appreciate not having to listen to someone go on and on about irrelevant crap. This is my favorite video on the internet.

And even when and where grist mills existed, they generally took half of the flour in return for milling the grain -- some people did not have that much surplus to spare.
They used to grind the seeds between stones
God bless you for metric data :)
what i learned toady was with maintaining/caring for a crop , a couple of hours of prepping and cooking the product and 263 days later you will get a loaf of bread.
@ 19:02 - 9 loaves
This seems exceptionally long. Possibly because it was grown over winter. From 46 to 52 degrees latitude in North America, the time to maturity is roughly May to September so 130 -160 days depending on conditions and variety of seed.
Yess. But if I had to do it. I'd plant alot of the crop. Harvest it. Make flour. And use that flower to make bread every week or so
Maybe with rotation produce can be consistant. But It looks like loads of work just to get some flour which coasts fairly nothing, I wonder what's cheaper, the space used to grow it which could be used for other veggies, the amount of water that went into it and hours of refining/electricity etc
It's all about scale. Wheat farming on this scale isn't sustainable, but obviously it's wildly successful when scaled up
me: in quarantine
youtube: maybe you should learn how to grow some wheat
This is exactly what I searched for. I've never been more thankful for the fruits and vegetables growing in my backyard and thought maybe I should learn how to grow wheat 😜 10lbs of wheat will probably last for a couple of months so I'll have to rethink and grow more of everything around the year!

I don’t like to go to the store for Everything
So l got almost All my veggies right here in my garden.
I wonder how early humans figured out how to make bread
Shiny Kingdra ancient egypt
Shiny Kingdra remeber the didnt have strainers or blow dryers. they had to break them with rocks and use hand held fans.
Slightly after history (written time) and they discovered that they could grow
Exactly!! How did they know that the wheat berries could produce flour ....and then bread. Lots of trial and error from other plants and berries i guess...smh
But also how did people think of drinking milk out of a cows teets... And then to take that milk, let it get MOLDY, then have cheese!
And then combine the cheese with the bread dough, add some tomato sauce and make pizza!? And then take that wheat let it rot in water for months, then have beer with your pizza... them some smart ancestors..
This ... is proppably how a real bread should look like after all. Thanks. Must have been a pleasure to eat.
16:00 *internal dialogue* "This tastes terrible..."
I only joke, it was a good video. I'm sure it was some of the most memorable bread you ever ate since you had to wait a bit shy of a year to eat it. Thanks for posting!
my first time growing wheat and wasn't sure when to harvest. loved this video because explains everything and didnt have to listen to someone who likes to hear themselves talk....music calming.. words enough explanation...quite good with your hands aka blower in one and winnowing motion in other.
Amazing work, I feel absolutely privileged to have seen your whole process. Thanks a mill for sharing, I'm feeling inspired! :)
The way you made and edited this video for us, you did it perfect, thought of everything, even the mess on the floor from winnowing was shown and you’re damn right I enjoyed seeing that mess for some reason. Thanks man it was great
Thank you! It seems so basic, but for a suburban/city gal like me, I needed exactly this video to answer some questions I've had for a long time. Thank you for sharing the process. Excellent finish. :)
You might check out Sara Pitzer's Homegrown Whole Grains book for more info. We would benefit from a small scale, affordable, commercially produced threshing/winnowing machine, but to my knowledge such a machine does not exist. A good project for all of those engineering students out there.
North Americans do not make small threshers, but some places in Europe and Asia still have them sized for small plots up to maybe 5 acres.
My grandparents worked as farm hands for many years before they got land of their own. My grandmother told me the old way of separating grain from chaff was to either use a blanket or a very large bowl and toss it lightly. Do it with a bit of wind, and the chaff blows off.
this has to be the most interesting video I have ever seen. I think we all take it for granted that we don’t have to know how flour comes from a wheat plant. crazy how dissociated we are from the sources and production of our food
This video made my day! I've often wondered if I could plant a small patch of wheat and it looks like I can. Thanks for showing us the entire process from start to finish...especially that beautiful bread! Great job!
Glad you liked it.
msbrunell I loved it. I realize your not a baker, but if you had kneaded the bread dough and let it rise 3-4 times it would have given the bread a finer texture.
I used to read the children's book The Little Red Hen. I wanted to bake bread when I was younger. I finally made it in my 20s. I loved baking bread. It tasted so much better than the store bought junk. Especially right out of the oven still warm! Thank you for your video.
This comment is an echo of my sentiment. Thanks so much for sharing this process!👍
@@grandcatsmama3421 watching this video I thought about the little red hen (la piccola gallinella rossa in Italy) too, good memories...
one word throughout the whole video that defines the knowledge and taste of old fashion wheat growing, flour making and bread baking.... Yummy
Does anyone else like how the holes were nearly aligned to basically make even rows? lol Nice rake poking :)
Wow, 200 days to make one video. I appreciate subtitles instead of commentary. Good job
Nobody:
UA-cam at 3am: *_wheat_*
*_weet_*
Every few months I rewatch this just because it is so satisfying. Not a lot of people show the entire process including used stuff they grow. Very neat and the bread looks good!
I feel spoiled...
He worked so hard and long for that bread
while all i have to do is spend 20 min of my day to go to the store and get 20 loaves
Why do you feel spoiled? The privileged one in the situation would not be you. In order to do something of this scale you need land or a backyard which most people do not have access to. In this day and age being able to grow and harvest your own crops (in the setting of the video) is a privilege that many urban people do not have. It is not a privilege to have to rely on industry for our food, because what happens when the chains of distribution get broken or other things? You have no food. Not only do you need access to space to plant but you need the knowledge that goes along with it. Thankfully thanks to the internet learning how to do this type of thing is easier but there are still many reasons why this would be considered a privilege.
This is wonderful. Thank you for your lesson. If I will be lucky enough to live on a large plot of land one day I’ll definitely grow my own food, and wheat.
I love this video! No nonsensical dialog. The data break down at the end is icing on the cake. I might have to integrate this as another hobby...
This is one of the most satisfying videos to watch. Respect sir!! You grew, harvested, cleaned and processed and made some delicious bread after all. I bet it tasted like heaven
You just answered literally 50 of my questions on wheat! THANK YOU!
Perfect. I planted some white Sonoran with my 6th grade gardening class, but since I’d never done it myself was pretty vague on the actual process. This answered all my questions! I’ll show them this video since they won’t be able to do the whole process in a single semester. Thanks!
Very nice presentation. I grew wheat (hard red winter wheat) for the first time this year. Somewhat better results overall, but I'm sure there's lots of variation. I planted about two pounds of seed on 577 square feet (my wheat plot is a trapezoid, not a rectangle, hence the unusual square footage) and harvested 54 pounds of wheat after threshing and winnowing. Most of the hard work is in that part! I still have buckwheat, field corn, and grain sorghum to go this year! I learned a lot from the wheat experience, and I suspect that it would be at least possible for a gardener armed with a good knowledge of the crop (and chemical fertilizers and fungicides!) to get the equivalent of 100bu/ac in yield.
How many loaves of bread can you make with 54 lbs of seed? Also this question may be obvious but, is wheat "seed" the same as wheat berrys such that you hold out 10% of the berry harvest for the next year's crop?
8:20 Works perfectly... and the music... I love it
Me too! That man surely appreciates what is good in life
What is amazing is how combines cut down this process so heavily. A 35,000 lbs or 15 ton machine goes into the field and all in one go, cuts, threshes, sifts (or winnow) and collects (stores) the berries.
Love it! Then you get reminded through videos like this, that it is absolutely humanly possible to grow and process enough for your own consumption.
I am fortunate enough to have a combine and just need to get seed cleaned or clean it myself in small quantities.
If you ever have fresh bread from non GMO wheat, you will NEVER buy store baked crap again.
It's absolutely not the same thing.
Processed flour/baked goods are a lot closer to newspaper than actual food.
Video was very informative. Very concise. I appreciated the data: space used, seed weight planted, timeline, and results in weight and loaves. If you add salt to flour, loaf may rise better for you. Salt does not feed or activate yeast; but keeps it in check. Sugar, flour, carbs are what feeds yeast.
Sj Smith
He added salt to his yeast before activating it.
TissuePaper. Yes. Adding it then is slowing yeast life. Better to mix salt in with dry ingredients to get a better rise. But, there's lots of different ways to do things.
Salt is unneeded, a second rise after more working would be better. Then tamp down, roll it up and proof before baking. More time rising means more yeast, more flavor, more gluten structure developed. Ideally have a refrigerated rise as one of the rises. 12-24 hour refrigerated rise followed by a 6-8 hour rising might be marvelous.
Tissue Paper,
I am pretty sure that was *sugar* he added to the yeast to *proof* the yeast. Yeast *must* have *sugar* .
I too was wondering *why* he did not add *salt* to the bread!
At Geeko Farm we find that rose bush trimmings are pretty good at deterring cats from digging.
That was an awesome video. How cool and exciting.
The most dad joke award goes to this guy for making wheat to bread and only saying yummy
I don't think that's what a dad joke is, but A+ for effort

I always wondered what, “separating the wheat from the chaff” meant...
Isn't it amazing?
Covid 19 2020...your answer is coming
Same
That's a multi layered parable, rite there
Yessir, chaff is the leftovers once you take your berry out. The berry is used, the rest is food for ruminants or bedding for the animals that cant eat it.
Thanks for this! We have grown a small plot of wheat the last couple of years but have not threshed much of it yet. I like the idea of just pulling off the heads instead of trying to beat the whole stalk. I would have figured the food processor would damage the berries but obviously it didn't. Definitely going to try this!
This is truly a wholesome, and excellently crafted video. Thank you for your fine work on our earth! :)
10:52 "You will never get all of the grains."
I take this as a challenge.
Heh I kind of thought that too but then for thinking, maybe the smart thing to do is to stop at some point then just plant them next growing season. They don't need to be super clean wheat berries with no extra stuff in it... Right? That's what I would do.
Awesome video. Thanks for showing the entire process
Love it! Makes you realise how much we take for granted though, doesn't it? Would be interested to know roughly how many cups of flour you were able to get from that little crop.
I got 41 cups of flour from 1 lb of seed planted.
It's all at the end of the video mate.
@@msbrunell about 10-11 pizzas worth
This was a fascinating video. Thank you for making it!
I love the simplicity and quietness of this video. Great video, learned alot.
Now I see it! Every one of those wheat berries is precious. And so are you msbruness and so is everyone who watched this video (thumbs down crew included). And so is everyone who breathed the air that was made abundant for them on this day. And to each and every one of us I say...greatness is coming!
I’m here to commend you on your presentation and effort. Thank you.
I’m getting old... this was more exciting that I figured it could have been. Thanks for your dedication!
Glad you liked it.
Greeting from Texas. New friend here. Great seeing your informative video. We are a family of 5 who loves to travel and spend time together.
This rules. Love the big ending.
Tears Of Joy Records everyone loves a nice money shot
Giving my son a lesson on where food comes from and how must show gratitude and appreciation for the labor and effort to make it possible for us to eat. Watching during Pandemic 2020.
Amazing video! So inspiring! It's amazing the work that goes into a humble loaf of bread...
Wow, 4 years and UA-cam FINALLY recommends this. Now I can finally make bread in quarantine!
Thanks for sharing!! I dream of one day having a massive home garden, and being self sustainable. I haven't the first clue about gardening, so this helps immensely
are you primitive technology's brother? this is so satisfying to watch.
3 years old but can't wait to see all the comments from a day ago
Fantastic! Thanks a lot for showing the amounts in metric units as well at the end.
I applaud UA-cam algorithm for this recommendation
This minecraft realism mod is the best one by far. I am very impressed, thank you and great video sir!
Haha, great sense of humor too!
There’s nothing like raising your own food! Great job
seeing the young green wheat made me think "It's minecraft irl"
Thank you UA-cam Recommended for this knowledge
Nothing sure beats home made every thing fresh. It can not be any purer than what this video has shown. Now you have inspired me to do the same. I have never eaten a fresh mill flour bread or any thing from the same flour for that matter. I already do a lot organic garden already this is the next progression.
Gives a whole new meaning to, "let's get this bread"
Now that's good life really kool when you can feed yourself from home
Not only was this informative but quiet. O deeply appreciate not having to listen to someone go on and on about irrelevant crap. This is my favorite video on the internet.
Minecraft Steve: “Ouh”
Man in Video: “Yummy”
Mojang: “Write that down, write that down!”
