So funny how Buggy knows what to do and holding hands blessing her food is the cutest now she is really at the table. Love The Hollars
if you freeze tomatoes first, the water runs off when they thaw. CUTS simmering time
I was just thinking the same thing… and I don’t remember her name lol
Yes. This family is Awesome!
My favorite uncle used his mower as a side by side like you. He used it to check and gather cows, check on hay fields, go after the mail, and other stuff due to his health getting worse. Lost him in February during heart surgery. He is missed. Thank you for reminding of his joy of life.
This 64 year old man looks forward to your videos every day. I feel as if I am watching my own children and grandchildren.
I’m so glad I ran across your channel when you guys first started on your property. God Bless.
Buggy doesn't appear to be camera shy at all. Loved watching her ring the bell 🛎 Thanks for sharing your story with us !🙏💯
Buggy is just the cutest. When she bowed that little head I just about cried. You are doing such a good job as parents. Love to you all.
Buggy is just growing up so fast!! And the boys are young men now! What a beautiful family! And your little girl is speaking so well for her age!!! Just amazing! I loved her ringing the dinner bell!
Preserving is so much work but so rewarding - Meg you are amazing in the kitchen with all you do for your family!!
Wow, the boys are really growing fast. Healthy lifestyle. Great job, Mom and Dad. Bug is a doll! 🙏✝️🕊👆🦅🇺🇸
Your boys are not little boys anymore. They have definitely grown into handsome young men and Buggie is just adorable!
Love Buggy ringing the dinner bell! She is adorable! I have the feeling she is going to be a force to reckon with. Look out world, here comes Buggy girl!! Beautiful family..
She has her protective brothers to make sure she won;t get too hurt by life. It's a blessing for the entire family, they are united!
Oh gosh your daughter is getting so big and Sooooo adorable !
Buggy is a sweetheart and has learned well to bless her food before eating. Oh, that briar is called a saw briar. They will eat you. They are bad here in Kentucky too. I’ve got my fair share of scars left from them. Your getting it done. It’s hard work but it’s so well worth it. I have had the same victorio sauce maker for 30 years, hope she has the salsa, berry, grape and pumpkin screens they make quick work out of jobs that can take all day the old way of running through a sieve.
Your daughter is so cute... loved the ringing bell for the meal.
Buggy doesn't sit by momma anymore, I saw that before! So cute, she will have a bunch of boys to boss around...😂😂😂 🤗🤗💗🤗🤗
Isn't it amazing how pigs can do such wonderful things! Why, they're almost as smart as you Ben. God Bless All! Especially little Miss Buggy! So precious!❤😊🙏🙏🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁
Can’t believe how big the twins have grown, they are young men now! About as big as Ben! Must be awesome to have the extra muscle around to help with the heavy jobs. You have raised you family right, so nice to see those young men chip
In and help their father like they do.
The Hollars are the real deal.
Happy, balanced, hardworking, no fancy production videos yet beautiful.
They ring true. Doing their own thing, not giving steps longer than their legs as we say in my country.
May God bless them
This Greenbriar Thorn vines are a real pain ... I am 72 and starting my own mini Homestead on 1.2 acres. The place we bought this year was left overgrown ... many Greenbriar vines in shrubs and tons grown straight up into Sweet Gum Trees .. ( double trouble ) I chopped the vines last Feb and recently pulled the tangled mess out of trees last month. What a chore. Always chopping and chipping overgrowth. Enjoy your family videos. Love the fact that the kids go barefoot most of the time. Reminds me of my childhood.
Another successful day at the Hollar Homestead. Thank you for taking us along. 💕💕🌻🌻
Something your kids might like for a winter project would be to build some bat houses. They'll keep bugs down and boys of their age (and mine) often think bats are pretty cool.
Love Seeing Buggy Ring The Dinner Bell! To Darn Cute! Little Buggy Is So Sweet Bowing Her Little Head During The Blessing! Just Warms The Heart To See Your Beautiful Family Saying Grace! Much Love and Blessings
Buggy so cute at dinner sitting next to her brothers 💞
Too adorable - Buggie ringing the meal bell!
I love how you show that you all sit down together for dinner and you always give thanks to Jesus it is beautiful to watch because my family here in Australia do the same
Hi.....Meg and Ben, thank you for showing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🐄🐖🌱🌺🌹🌻🌼🌸🌷🏡🎥👍👍👍
Yay! Another Hollar Video!
Mrs. Hollar sure is a hard working woman,what a great family.I'm so impressed.Your hogs are doing so well, i miss having pigs, best wishes to you and yours.
Oh my... Buggie in a big girl chair? too adorable ❤️🥰
Oh yum! Those tater tacos are perfect! I just love your little Buggie, her ringing the dinner bell made my heart swell imagining how happy she was🤗❣❣
The twins must be as big as Ben, wow, y'all knew that day would come and it's close! Ben, you're such a genius with the water level float! It's something I would do, but not properly as cool, lol.
Lastly, I've been watching "Sell this House" all afternoon, and gotta say that your kitchen layout is both beautiful and functional. (Yes. I've been looking at it since before your remodel, lol)
The kids are all getting so big. I look back when you first moved to the homestead and is amazing how far all has come. You are all an inspiration.
Can't believe how fast the little pigs grow. They are adorable...and chubby, happy pigs make yummy pork.
Wow...taco taters! I have never seen or heard of them, but they sound wonderful. I know what I am making for supper later this week LOL! I love the time lapse of Ben working in the woods, and Meg has so many different pieces of music that she plays in the background. Some channels only have one or two that they play over and over no matter what they are doing. I love Meg's editing. You guys could video grass growing and paint drying and she could somehow edit it into something interesting lol!
My grandma would ring the bell at dinner time and we were usually across the lake, at the beach. If we had the boat, we would row home but if we didn't, we would swim across the lake. The bell call to dinner was such a sweet reminder.
I love the boy’s hair. They’re so handsome! And Buggie ringing the bell, adorable!
I used to live in Okinawa Japan and they have whats called Taco Rice where it is basically what you did with the potatoes but with rice as the base. Everybody loves it.
Buggy praying for blessing and Heavens smiling😍
Another great video from my favorite youtubers. Progress, Progress, and more Progress. You guys work so hard I love seeing it showing some results. 🍀🐾🐾💞🦋🕊♻️
Buggy is so dang cute! I loved hiw easy your pigs moved. Sometimes moving our pigs or sheep, is like herding cats that are on catnip. Lol.
Saving Paw Paws! Love it! You can thank the giant sloths that lived here in prehistoric times for spreading these wonderful trees all over this country.
Oh I love that water float idea. Gave me an idea for an old busted ice fishing tip-up I don’t use anymore but can’t bring myself to throw away 😂
Always love your videos! Meg doing the kitchen stuff, just like when we homesteaded, and I loved the kitchen, being a creative cook! Loved the ooows and ahhhs. And demands for seconds. And outside chores and again creativity in the gardens and tending the animals. Then you brought back another yester-year memory! I had an old cow bell I would call everyone in for meals, or whatever I needed them for. Thanks!
Buggie is at the dinner table. How cool is that? Growing up quickly, and her words are coming along too. You guys are doing a great job! Hang in there blessings are on their way. Love ya'll.
Used to have a big bell on the front porch and rang it for lunch & dinner as well, Buggy is so adorable. Yum homemade BBQ sauce and dinner look good as well as the fresh bread. Blessings to you all. 😊🇺🇲
I think we all know that Miss Buggy is the star of this show. 💗
Valerie in SC
Thank you all so much for choosing me to win the fizz gizz giveaway!
I am so excited 😊
Also, I've heard that sweet potatoes are good substitute for taco shells!
Thanks for another daily vlog!!
Oooh yes sweet potatoes are good too!
Congratulations on the win!
👍👏👏👏
Congratulations on the win! I hope you enjoy it!
When that buggie baby bows her head she just melts my heart. Ben and Meg, you're doing a fine job raising some very respectful children. I just always look forward to your videos. Makes a bad day for me into a good one. Love You All ❤....Your friend in Indiana.
Yay, doing more wood chipping. That's nice that you found some paw paws in the woods. Yes, happy pigs after all that! Meg, taco potatoes sounds wonderful. That bread and granola in the jars looked awesome too. Thanks for this Hollars!
Seeing little piggies running is so funny and cute. 😊
Aww sweet buggys big brown eyes just melt your heart!
Love the bell. Buggy is so stinking cute!
Yep. Regroup and keep on going. Just glad you're all safe and healthy. The rest of it you will get through and it will make you stronger! You are and definitely were blessed!
That granola looked so good! Please share the recipe! Thank you!
Genius Ben on the water float! Well done on the orchard/ pigs!
I use to take out my aggression on those bramble roots, is what I call them. If I got aggravated by something I’d grab my shovel… cleared out enough to build a shed and two patios lol. I think I wore out my weed eater, switched gears and now painting. Great to see all your progress! I need a wood chipper in my life! Aaannnd now I’m starving imagining what your kitchen smelled like! Leftover brisket for me! Ring that bell little Sister! I’m also the caboose of 5 siblings…3 bros & 1 sister.
Those baby pigs will give the homestead a nice boost.the place is looking better all the time.cabt wait to see where it's going
When did Buggy grow up so!? Oh my! So darling.
Love the video and what you have accomplished as a family, god has blessed you in so many ways. One idea I had is to put up a permanent fence on your boundary line with fixed rotation pig pastures there so there is no moving of constant fences
I love taco taters, we have them a lot😊 Your kiddos are growing like weeds😊 Buggie is the cutest little girl😊
OMG such a beautiful little girl. Am so glad that mom have her. Its nothing like a daughter. I have 4 and 2 grand daughters. Meg you are awesome, may God Bless you and your amazing family.
Granola yum. Homemade yum. Meg the epitome of a farmers wife. Awesomeness in Droves. 💯✔🐣☕👌
I’ve meant to say, I like your new screen door. Could the granola recipe be shared… pretty please Meg. ❤
Love watching you wood chip through all that "jungle" . We HAD a big pile of branch / tree debris... that I was trying to ignore.. but you looked like you were having SO much fun... it just lit our fire! 👍 Pile All Gone! : )
The sawtooth vine will come back unless you dig up the bulb in the ground. I hate these things and they are so invasive. Awesome work and the place is really transforming. Beautiful! ❤❤❤❤
I know you like using your chain saw; however i recommend you try a battery sawzall with a long wood blade; you can poke it under the ground and cut the small trees below the ground which leaves no base to trip over.
I just love how Buggie sits between her brothers now. She is just the cutest! Pretty handsome young men there too! Great job Mom and Dad.
We are going to need that granola recipe!
Oh you know Meg…she does not have recipes. LOL
@@rkthing55 Lol. So true
I have a friend who says she uses "philosophies" instead of recipes to cook with. Curry has a "philosophy" of certain spices, and certain types of ingredients, but anything can go in. The same with tacos, pierogies, burritos, pasties, .... anything that's a group of ingredients or from a certain cooking tradition has a philosophy. It's a very freeing way to cook!
My mother has never made the same soup twice, but they're always good. lol
Your whole family is amazing! I love seeing the boys help move the pigs. I’d be scared to death of the pigs. I’ve never been around pigs. Horses scare me too because they are so big, cows too. I’m not a farm kid
I see how you are teaching the boys so much. They are experiencing things that most of us never get to. What a wonderful life. I hope and pray that they appreciate all that they get to experience and learn for the rest of their lives! Simply amazing 👍
Always excited to see what Meg is cooking in the kitchen!
The Woods look Great 🙌.
Genius Ben 👊.
We had a Dinner Bell when we were Kids . It was attached to the Back Of the House by the back door.
And let me just say if you didn't come when it rang you would get grilled in front of the whole family 💝
JO JO IN VT 😆💕
Fall is here! Isn't it great? I'm not ready for another Iowa winter so I will enjoy fall while I can. Thanks for sharing another day on your wonderful homestead!
Whats really fun is when those briar thorns take out the back tires on a zero turn. I picked tomatoes today. There's a few flowers, but I doubt I'll get any more off them.
Perfect day!❤️❤️
God bless all of you, I love seeing you holding hand, thanking God at mealtime. Love watching your videos.😊🥰💗
Both you,your wife and children work well together so good to see family morals like yours. May you be blessed always.
Ringing the bell she is so cute. Melts my heart
Buggy rang that bell pretty good. And cool she graduated sitting beside Mom to between her brothers
My grandmother talked about eating pawpaws when she was young. She and I were very close and I am 65 now and I have not seen any pawpaw trees near the area where I live. Someday I want to plant a couple of trees in honor of her.
I just love y'all videos and your kids is grown up so much and buggy she is a beautiful little thing God bless you all see you in your next video love you guys
I loved how your daughter put her head down when you were all giving thanks to the Lord for the yummy food on the table. Those potatoes looked so inviting, cooked to perfection, a nob of butter, a good sprinkling of salt and pepper, emmmm, I think we'll be having Potatoes for our supper! Loved the water bob, clever!
Watching you zooming on the lawn mower down to the pigs site reminded me of Luke Skywalker on his Land Speeder 😂
Meg, Great job of using every bit on those tomatoes. 👍
Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. Always enjoy your videos.
Meg with your skills...you could rock tamales in the instant pot! Love all the videos you share... happy -proud of you guys!❤️
This is quite the coincidence…yesterday I made granola with sliced almonds and cherries that I picked and dehydrated, and processed tomatoes with the same exact food mill, I made 7 quarts of sauce!❤😂
Almond and cherry granola sounds yummy! What is your recipe?
@@rkthing55 especially good when they come off of your brother’s cherry tree!♥️
Pawpaws are our state fruit and I still haven't tasted one. We discovered a tree just into our woodline and hubby has saved some seed. Looks like we're going to try and grow some trees!
You just brought back a memory for me , the bell 🛎 call , my mother used to do the same thing, for us kids growing up, now I’m in my 60s , fond memories are the best , thanks for sharing 💕
Would love to have a paw paw tree. I remember them from my childhood and known throughout Kentucky
. Lyrics:
Where, oh, where is sweet little Nellie?
Where, oh, where is sweet little Nellie?
Where, oh, where is sweet little Nellie?
Way down yonder in the paw paw patch
Come on, boys and let's go find her
Come on, boys and let's go find her
Come on, boys and let's go find her
Way down yonder in the paw paw patch
Pickin' up paw paws, put 'em in your pocket
Pickin' up paw paws, put 'em in your pocket
Pickin' up paw paws, put 'em in your pocket
Way down yonder in the paw paw patch
Have you considered using the long thin saplings to build a woven wood fence ? It's all free material. Have a great day 😊.
enjoyed this video and seeing the children.God Bless.
thanks for the video. the cleared out area really looks good, and the pigs do an awsome job. have a great week.
Love all your videos and can't wait to see the high tunnel build!!! Wooohooo..., still living vicariously through you. I'm still renting and hopefully next Spring, we will be able to do something!! Until then, please keep your content growing. I have been bing watching your channel lately to get my gardening fix. 😁🤣😂
Little bug is quite the bell ringer!!
Meg, please share your granola recipe. I love the stuff and I think my guys would, too!
I have tomatoes in my freezer that I've got to do something with because I'm running out of room. I wouldn't have thought about doing what you did with the taco meat on the potatoes. You are so creative with what you make for your family. I'm still learning how to use the food I've canned to make "quick meals".
Ya'll have seriously improved the heck out of that place!! You've inspired my wife and I to start on a MUCH smaller scale what you guys are doing.
A friend of ours has paw paws....we've noticed that they can taste WILDLY different depending on the tree the grow on. They're weird like that lol.
You guys are a beautiful family and we love watching the vids. God bless!! :)
Good day from Kamakura, Japan 🇯🇵! I think those tubers the vines grow from could be mountain yams. 🤔👍🏾
I love happy pigs too. Meg has a lot going on, 🤣 😂, tacos in the pot! Dinner is served. Enjoy! Take care
If it were me, I'd dig out & pot up some of the stronger, straight Paw Paw saplings, baby them & top dress them like you do your gardens.
If the root systems aren't too big, & you still have some straight ones, you could pot a few & get them out of harms way.
Seems like they produce many new seedlings. So if you can keep the pigs away, you'll still have many new saplings popping up, over the years to pot up to give as gifts or in trade.
They have pretty leaves & grow in drifts. They supposedly have an edible fruit & can live in my zone 5, (now considered more like 5B to 6). They're probably more common in your warmer zone. I'm not very familiar with them.
I'm just remembering you recently planted some figs. You might try growing some near your Paw Paws. They could form a colony on one of your slopey areas. Preferably a multi solution location, like creating more privacy, blocking a view while also preventing erosion - all at the same time. You could plant them near a larger native to give you privacy. One day you might appreciate privacy,or just enjoy planting a visually appealing arrangement including one - or some natives, taller, maybe a 70' tall tree along the back property line, with some Paw Paw trees & Figs down lower on a slope. They could be snugged in going down the slope, with smaller drifts of berries at the bottom holding the soil back while growing in a fairly sunny spot.
Or maybe you'd prefer to clear right up to the fence posts & leave it open so you can see what the animals are doing along that property line.
You could put in a tall privacy fence back there one day, to keep your animals in, create privacy & also keeping predatory animals out. I keep hearing that more bears are roming around now. Up here in MA anyway.
Those Figs & Paw Paws would be interesting in a big drift with about 3 types of evergreens of some kind with varied growth habits. A conical shaped Spruce or a soft Hemlock if they survived the scale or those other insects that hit the Hemlocks in the South. Maybe you could plant something columnar instead, with the Paw Paw & Figs. You may do best to plant something more native that you find growing in the wild, in your area.
Do you have different types of Cedar in your area?
They'd be complimented by some shrubs with berries, if on the sunny side of a slope. It would be a nice sight if they would all do well under similar conditions with not much coddling from you to thrive, once given a couple years to get established.
You've got hills. That means you can plant trees that like good draiage & choose based upon if the slope is facing East, South. West or North.
A slope helps trees & shrubs & would be the best use possible given your access to unobstructed sunshine.
Flat property is easier but with free trees & shrubs, if you can visualize how they'd look 15 years from now, you can really enjoy arranging areas of forest & cleared land for animals or for growing flowers & veggies to sell. You already know how to make preserved, shelf stable, plant based jars full of food to store.
Using trees shapes land Over the years, with mixed woods areas here & there, you can grow selected companions. You'll have to allow for easy access to the driveway & your gardens of course.
It would be especially nice to have all the best Paw Paw saplings potted & kept safe until later. They'd come in handy if you'd like to create privacy , like maybe down along the back end near your property line.
They supposedly have an edible fruit & can live in my zone 5, now 5B to 6 (calculated to some updated estimates of a warming climate). Some Winters it can drop to - 5 for a few days a year, or to -10. Guess I'm going to have to look their zone up. I'd want to taste that fruit first, too.
Loved at the open, how you used the music when you went around the building & then flew out ( speeded up)
riding on your tractor - is that what its called? I love it. Wish I had one, or something like it.
Happy pigs. and good food, what else is there. thank you ALL stay safe
Bell call for dinner - brought back some memories! Our tomatoes are just starting to ripen. Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA - 10-5-2022

Buggy has graduated to the table. Ahhhh!
Oh and love the southern girl, in the kitchen, barefoot and cooking her little heart out.
