What can't Meg do? Wife, mom, homesteader, cook, producer,director,editir, DJ now shes makig deli meats. Everyone needs a Meg Holler in thier life
I agree! We need a Meg, but my husband has questions.... Lol.
But we DO have Meg in our life 😊. I’m so comfortable here- she doesn’t go on like she’s teaching ppl on what to do. And it doesn’t make anyone feel less
I totally agree ! I am old and don’t like when some of the homesteaders say how they will teach us how to cook or whatever. I have also been preserving all my life so I don’t need someone to teach me .I do enjoy watching the homesteaders that just do their lives like our Meg and Ben.
Teacher, taxi driver, doctor
And she makes mittens out of cow intestines. 😂
That baby is so cute!! When Ben said “you can open/close the door for me, then open the fridge”. Her little oh! Of pleasure was so sweet!! She is such a cutie!!
Love how you end the video all around the table. ❤
It’s one of my favourite parts.
Only I know the vlog is coming tow close.
Buggie shouting bey is so so sweet 🥰
The way you guys homestead fuels my homestead dreams. You make it so approachable and take a lot of the analysis paralysis out of doing it for me.
Totally agree. They are great at teaching others as they do their day to day stuff.
Agreed
You’re amazing Meg. Lilleana’s got a great teacher. God bless all of you. Praying you have a healthy baby!
Nice you call Lilyanna by name so much nicer than Buggy
Love watching the two of you working together in the kitchen. My husband (RIP) and I did the same, and I miss that.
To keep your twine from possible contamination, we put ours inside of a container with a lid with a hole that we made in the top and feed the twine through the hole. Close the top and pull out what you need.
You will have clean, dry, untouched twine ready for use.
If you go a while between uses, just pull out the exposed twine, cut of as much as you left hanging out and you are ready to truss!
♥️
You can do that with an old teapot. Just feed the twine through the spout.
Meg is so fantastic in the kitchen not just regular kitchen work but the treat she is preparing for the family. Meg and Ben are a well oiled machine. The children are so great at everything they do, they sure get that off their parents love and guidance. Even Buggie she’s around helping out and absorbing information by osmosis! Love how you end with dinner and all pray! Always enjoy the Hollars
Anytime you see a patch of daffodils or irises, that means there was an old homestead there at one time. Back when the settlers came they brought these bulbs and rhizomes with them from their homeland. They would plant a few and they would multiply year after year. Some of the old homes are no longer there but the flowers remain. Some of the homes still stand. As you take a drive keep a lookout for daffodils. That means someone lived there long ago. Daffodils are not native to the U S. ..very impressed with you two and your amount of knowledge!
They are everywhere in NC
I am 71 and grew up like your children are but on 280 acres in Missouri.
I said all that to say THANK YOU, you 2 taught me so much in this video today. I will never be afraid of too-salty bacon ever again!
Buggie’s hair looks sooo cute!
Well, it doesn't appear to be very long before we find out if the new Holler is a Mini Meg or a Ben Jr. Thanks to you folks for sharing your lives with us. 😊
8 days of snow started today here in N Idaho! daffodil envy is strong! I planted A LOT more last year. can hardly wait!
my vote is girl! can you imagine the fun of two Buggies?!
@@ardenpeters4386 it would be amazing to see another Buggy hugsssss
😂me too, that sweet baby girl needs a playmate. Such a beautiful and precious family.❤❤
Didn't they say July?
When my boys were about her age, I found them with spoons hiding in my small pantry closet eating brown sugar from the bag. Great memories. 😂
Such hope in the future in knowing there is a family growing and working and doing life together as your family Ben and Meg.
Thanks!!
I think Millie cat loves Ben💞😁
Millie is a very kewl kitty 😺 🐈
Buggy ♥️♥️
That child is a gem. She’s such a doll and how she loves to help with whatever and with whoever is ADORABLE.
"Taaa daaaa" coming in through the door. She's got the schtick!
I seriously enjoy seeing your kids, especially the captivatingly adorable Miss Lilliana aka Buggy. As much as I love your content, it’s the adorable things she does and says at this stage that puts a smile on my face. She’s seriously precious and makes me miss my girls being little 😢 I’m 44, and you’re giving me baby fever 😂😂😂
Now that’s real Homesteading!
I’m so glad you haven’t gone corporate!
Keep up the Awesome work!
Hey, how are you feeling Mom?
Meg, you have some serious skills!
Meg can do just about anything. 👍☺️
When is your baby due? I can’t wait. 81 year old great grannies just love babies and we know yours will be supper special. I love and enjoy every one of your videos.
May
I always laugh out loud at the end when Little Chicky says byeeeee 👋🏻 🥰
Title should have been ‘pork to make you drool’, omg
You all are amazing.
I have room in my fridge.😊
You can never have enough bacon!😅
Oh, HI from Oregon!
Buggy looks so cute with her little apron on and her hair up!
When on the run, first thing in the morning, there's nothing better than a country ham biscuit!
💕💗💕🙏🙏🙏 Thanks to the little taster/helper, you really make me smile!!!
Thank you! This was truly a great educational video for me. Many blessings
We have a stray that showed up in our back window about 8 years ago and she had a loped ear as well. Amazing how we come to love these little creatures! She and I have been inseparable ever since. I even wrote and recorded a song about her and put it on my channel. Bella. Always enjoy visiting with you! ❤❤
From city folk to country folk this family rocks ‼️. You have learned & done soo much & have taken us along with you. Much respect &
Great admiration for All 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Another amazing day on the Hollar Family Homestead! Blessings on your day Hollar family!🌻🐛Carolyn in Ohio 🌿
As I watch this we are getting what is supposed to end up being 4 inches of snow here in northern Maine.
Buggie’s hair is cute.
Ben & Meg, glad it rained so you could show how you cure your meat very interesting and informative.
Yes we've cured ham and bacon years ago but never thought about the others, now I wished we did.
Buggy is so adorable love her pigtails and she looks like her younger brother.
Blessings to you and the family. 😊🇺🇲
Thank you Meg and Ben. Love watching your family work and enjoy life together. I remember going to my grandparents to visit and I remember they had a smoke house they cured hams in. They were always delicious. I never knew how they did it. I Wes a young child and it was a great memory for me. I’m 72 now. I love the way was back then. I think that’s why I so love watching your wonderful family.
I always look forward to your videos.
Ben & the Boys! Great job on the deck - addition can’t wait to see the finished add on. You’re a great guy Ben for looking out for STL. Jason l! hi Meg & Buggy
Your helper is such a cutie! Yum bacon.
The best things that I enjoy about this family is they are not afraid to try new things-in the kitchen,foods,garden,seeds,working together, trying what the boys suggest,building,repairing items out side,growing animals,teaching the boys, letting Buggy try any thing they are working on an learning. I just love Buggy
Our first daffodils just bloomed today in Southern NJ. Yay spring is coming
I'm a tad jealous .. up here in New England our Daffodils are not even a 'dream' yet.. 😮😅 🏵 🌼
You two have so MUCH knowledge! Thanks for sharing it in a video!
I love how your subscriber count is growing and growing. You are hands down my favourite homesteaders to watch. ✊🏼💥
We can't help it can we Meg? You and I are pretty cheap dates. Doesn't take alot to make us laugh. ❤😂❤
Hello Ben and Meg, our daffodils have been blooming for over a week and I noticed yesterday that the tulip trees are blooming as well as the forsythia. I love watching you work with cured meats. That’s an area that I would like to become more proficient in
Meg you are awesome.!!!
Buggy is so cute. Love how she loves to help. Your chicken looked good. Great job
Hey the Hollars are back with another vlog welcome back
OH Meg, you make me laugh :) Your fingerless mitten was splendid!! LOL
Shades of Michael Jackson...with the "fingerless" fit..no?...😂
@@mmurphy2317 That's a riot! Thanks for the extra laughs! 😂😂
Good evening guys it’s been a while. Thank you for this video. Always enjoy them. Love watching you guys.
Momma Meg is looking beautiful
Can't wait to meet the new bubs.x
My father built a cold smoker for smoking pork sausage, fish and other meat. I wish he had lived long enough to see our homestead. He had a lot of wisdom we could have tapped. He was always building/ creating something useful out of’junk’. Ben, you have a similar creative mind and talent as he had.
Fascinating. I wish I knew more about the whole process. I'm definitely watching this over several more times.
Buggy is too cute. Blessings
You guys are such foodies! I’m so impressed with spending a rainy day fixing up some home grown copas. Then you whip up mock chick fillets! People after my own heart. Enjoy!
Great tutorial ! Loved Buggy's little apron .
Buggie is adorable! You folks really teach so much with your videos. Thank you so much! You are beautiful Meg. Pregnancy suits you. When will our let us know boy or girl?
Meg that tutorial was awesome.princess look so cute in her apron and pony tails
Buggies happiness knowing age can help out is just so cute!
When your son gave your needle i have a sewing kit that was my moms. She passed in 1997 and this kit was always in her purse for repairs. She had put alot of different ones from small to large. Snaps buttons and a little bit of differnt threads. I rember her doing meats like your doing. Thanks for showing this process to new members. I rember my first apron at buggys age. Your video's make me smile. Blessings
Yum yum yum. Just had breakfast here in Oz but I am getting hungry again. That chicken dish so similar what I grew up in Hungary called the "nature slice" the only different when we put it back after the egg wash the second layer of flour we add paprika powder then fry it. 🎉🎉🎉 I can just smell all those lovely meat hanging. Who needs scented candles when you have coppa ands bacon😊🎉🎉🎉
Meg & sock puppets...you are so AWESOME! All I could think about was her bee episode too 😂 We all need a "Meg" in our lives! Be bold...Be like Meg❤😂
Meg is a true artisan in her homemaking skills and her family is able to enjoy food at its best. ❤
Outstanding Outstanding ♥️
Thank you HOLLAR FAMILY !!!!
Patricia (Daniel)
You’re amazing Meg. I have learnt so much from you about food and homesteading from Ben. You are teaching some of us city slickers a lot and I wish I could have a homestead like you guys. But I guess I will have to just enjoy yours and Bens and enjoy what you do which is a high light for me when I see you have put a video up. Have a lovely day. Greetings from the UK.
Our daffodils are just barely peeking out of the ground and it is currently snowing and getting cold again!! 😞 sigh
Dear Meg I’m so impressed. Love you guys
The only thing I watch on You Tube is your family. I can hardly wait for each showing.
You guys are maturing into well-seasoned and inspirational homesteaders. Your care and precision with your meat curing in turn builds solid confidence in your resulting product, which is truly "old world" as Ben says. You two and your clan are just the BEST! You are consistently my favorite channel for inspiration, hope, and good old family bonds of love. Blessings on #6 about to enter center stage.
Meg said "Let's give this a weigh." My tummy heard "Let's give this away." Hahaha!
Same! My heart skipped a beat!
👍 Thank you for sharing 😎🐢
As much as you like a little heat, I’m surprised you don’t cure some spicy bacon. 😉
We tried it, it didn’t come through very well 🤷🏼♀️
@@TheHollarHomestead darn lol
More hard work, more information, more mouths to feed…steadfast….I adore and love this family‼️
I am so impressed with all you do. Growing your own meat and vegetables and starting a fruit orchard but also making fancy cuts and curing meat. Bringing back all the old ways and next a smoke house! Very impressive!
I have to say that Buggie is the highlight of my day. Of course, I love your videos for everything else, too!
I wish I had one of those chicken sandwiches! Yum!
Buggy looks adorbs in her pony tails. Love that tiny face. Meh Buggy is going to be so much help when the new baby comes. She loves to help out. .
The cured meats look awesome.
I love how you all work together! And that cute little helper is a blessing.
Buggy has her timing down for the "bye" at the end. I can see her taking over when she's older.
Meg, what is your background on how you learned soooo much about preparing food, recipes, meals, how did you learn it? You're very knowledgeable and artistic. 🕊
I really love food! I grew up watching food network (rather than cartoons) and I read cookbooks for fun. I love food science and learning about food, love to experiment with flavors, and just generally love feeding myself and people!
@@TheHollarHomestead Awesome Meg, you really are gifted.
The more Meg does that (tying up the copas), the better they look! You are the consummate professional already, Meg.
make a cedar box with vents in the kitchen for the coppas it kinda makes a humidor
Oh...dear, sweet, precious Buggy! ❤😊🤗
Learning so much from your channel.
Buggy doing Quality Assurance on the brown sugar was so cute. I have absolutely no idea what Been was talking about. LOL
Yes Meg is an awesome homemaker. Hoping she gets a larger kitchen with the new addition.
I would so love to see this channel reach 500K!!!!
I learn and enjoy from each video!
Good Evening Beautiful HH Family 🖐🏻. Absolutely love your family and videos 👍🏻👍🏻. Thanks for sharing and keeping it real. Lillian is such a joy and makes me Laugh and Smile, little ray of Sunshine 😊. Kudos to Meg and Ben for raising awesome people, they grow up way too fast. Stay safe and God Bless Y'all. Love and Prayers For All, Bye 😊 ♥️🙏🏻🙏🏻
What an adorable "Ork" Buggie makes!!! And yes, yes yes... Ben needs a smoke house!!!
March 2021 took my 85 year old dad for a road trip through Oregon. East of Eugene is a Valley known for the covered bridges. The area was crawling with logging crews/trucks clearing out after those big fires. There were swaths where fire left nothing standing. Some places a single house was missed. But up against the river, you couldn’t really pick out where the foundation’s were… except the daffodils. They were the Phoenix story. Workers had a grill and chairs set up for lunch breaks here and there, but other than that, Daffodils were the only sign of life for miles.
"Your meats hangin'!" LOL Yes, it is Ben. All that great food looked great.
Buggy's pigtails! ❤ Love watching you all live life. Your boys are amazing helpers.
I love the way Meg describes everything! lol “Not poking deep like a voodoo doll!” 😂 I get the feeling we’d have a lot of fun together in the kitchen! 😁
Hey guys. my families from Spain and what is done with all those cured older pork legs that had meat come off of them is to use them cut up in soups and stews they give a lot of flavor don’t throw that away
Deer, rabbits, and moles hate daffodils. Billy from Perma Pasture Farms grows a couple of rings of daffodils around all of the orchard fruit trees, to repel the pests. Just 1 of his methods to protect his trees.
OHHH how cute the little apron on Buggy 😂like mother like daughter, love it🤩🤩
Little Ham aka Buggy with her exuberant "byyyeee" at the end is just so for the win. Have a wonderful weekend and full and wonderful start to March. Marching into to March.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Blessings
Oh, deep South Home stead He has several videos of him building a smokers you may Want to watch that
I just learned SO much in a 30-minute video. I'm dying to raise and process my own pig, but I don't live in an area where it's allowed. I will continue to dream and live vicariously through you guys.
Also, Buggy in a beanie is brain breaking levels of cute!
I can see Buggie with the needle by next year.
