I enjoy watching Meg do her thing in the kitchen. Cooking, canning, making bread, food preservation etc.. She could be washing dishes and I’d watch!! Go Meg! 💝
@@teresawalters1070 Well whoever you are I don't know where you get 20 minutes of video but I have been watching this family since day one that they started out.
One thing I love about watching Meg is the subtle message that Meg' work on the homestead is as important as Ben's work. I have noticed on other homesteader channels that do not show the work the women do, there are frequent comments that the women needs to do some of the work the men are doing. Including the work Meg is doing in the vlogs emphasizes that Meg is equally important to Ben's work.
I love the example you are setting for your boys Ben. You and Meg are teaching all of your kids such independence and self confidence and I admire you both so much.
I watch a guy who does charity lawn care for people in need. Some are unsold houses in the neighborhood and no one is taking care of the yards; others are people who become ill or have had old age creep up on them. Anyway, he gets revenue of course from his youtube videos of these buried yards. Very satisfying as a form of ASMR. Your weed eating had the same effect. And then you topped it off with the most delicious Fancy Ramen. Those were some gorgeous Noodle Bowls.
It's about time y'all posted. Many of us have been needing our homesteading "fix".😉 Most glad to hear that you had a fabulous vist with family. The example you set about family priorities is over the top.
Glad you had a good visit with the grandparents! Yes there comes a time to deal with clutter and junk. You are not messy , just human. Thanks for bringing us along with your work and family life. God bless!
🎉 Glad your parent were able to come visit. It's nice they do that. Ben, those stainless steel sink and counters would seem very useful for your classes.😮
You are so very BLESSED to have your parent's. 2016, 9/24 my mom went to sleep with Jesus. My parents are together again. Nice to hear the nature in the background. You're doing a fabulous job cleaning up. PRAYING YOU ARE ALL SAFE, AND JASON, LORRAINE AND THEIR DAUGHTER. PLUS NEIGHBORS. The path of another storm. We're getting the tail end. SE MICHIGAN 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏 raining today, cool 60's. Fall. Back to 70s wed. I had the same rice noodles mon. Soy and lots of hot sauce. 🔥 was soo good. Veggie soup tonight vegan.
I'm so glad you had a nice visit with your parents Ben. It sounds like you got some quality time with them. Yes, projects get done and the clean-up gets forgotten. Great, the good weed wacker started! It's got to feel good getting all those weeds cut down. Cool, goji berries growing. That area you did next looks pretty good too. Well, you tried to chip the bamboo. That was cool that Tyler wanted to do it. Fire works well. Getting the pallets all together is a good move too. Getting that all moved down to the pit does make it look better near the barn. Yum, fancy ramen for dinner! Nice, Ben is grilling the steak! Was that biscuit steaks? I like your bowls. Great find at an auction Meg. Thanks for this video Hollar family!
Daniel and family, Rev. Paul Eustis Florida. Daniel thank you and your family for sharing your lives with us. Y’all have an amazing platform to share. Jesus Christ has done in your lives to touch tins of thousands of peoples. Keep on planting the seeds, water some, and God will give the increase of the harvest. Love y’all Rev Paul.
I like the fact that I never see shoes on your youngens feet.....That I can remember.... Besides grounding, going barefoot makes one more aware in the moment of each step one takes...A philosophy goes along with it.....Man, babies grow fast.....!!!!
Supper looked yummy especially the steak. Clean up in the spring and again in the fall helps to keep everything under control. You've got 4 boys that can each have a job to help keep the outside organized. Once a week for an hour or two and you'd have a neat yard. They can mow lawn weed whack and clean up tools & materials. That would free you up a bit too, Ben. Weekly chores are good for kids.
Organizing and Re-Organizing is the HARDEST part. Setting the example for kids for their future is crushing sometimes : )j Big Hug Sweet Friends, I'm right there! Our kids will do what we do!
Ben, I'm surprised you aren't using those stainless equipment in your barn for processing. Easy to clean & ready to use. Just a thought. Bamboo is too fiberous to chip up. 😣. Use the large logs to support your hillside along your road, like you did further up the hill. The place is looking very organized. 😊.
“A creative mess is better than idle tidiness” Michael JFox. My home and small garden if full to the brim with creative mess. I’d love tidy but I’m so busy creating. No time for tidying when I can sow seeds and create things from yarns no produce. And be a parent a wife and work too. I just choose the fun top 10 jobs on my list the rest will sort itself out eventually 🌻🌺🐞🌱
❤❤❤I LOVE LOVE making fancy Ramen noodles. I really do them up too😁. So happy to see you making one of my favorite dishes Meg 😊 however we have different styles of preparing them, I'm sure they are yummy tasty😋 God bless the family. Much love to y'all ❤
Wire brushes always fun in welding shops. Also very fun when it finds your way from the grill or worse in your food. Brass brushes are a horrible grilling mistake. Especially with kids.
October is our month to get all our wood cut and split for the winter and to clean up our yard. We have to dedicate this time or it doesn't get done. Dang, Those stainless steel tables are something we would also love to have. Makes for good butchering stations. We've got an abundance of sunchokes. They are so beautiful when in full bloom and our honey bees love them. Either the chickens or some other varmints are eating the roots before we can get to them. 😂😂😂
One of our rescues, Miss Bridget loved Wasabi peas. I'd get this Asian Mix. I'd pull a bunch of the Wasabi and she'd eat those peas up like kids eat M&MS. All of our rescues lived at least 13 years. Our last was 16
Oh man those steaks looked good … this passed Saturday I had a bone in ribeye, Sunday I had a New York and Monday I had a filet mignon Today I had a Philly cheesesteak 😎👍
Nice yard clean up Ben, and boys. I believe you don't have a homestead/farm unless you have piles of stuff in places on your property. Right now were ripping apart several pallets to make a winter cat house for the stray cat who adopted us. She's out grown her cooler house. Homemade ramen soup yummy.
Always love the farm into. Such pictures of your lives and surroundings. Thank you. Love the fancy ramen!! That's what I have called it for years. My college roommate was from Okanowa, no plain Ramen for us..
Glad to see you back. I heard a phrase once that stuck with me. Why keep useful things if you are never going to use them. It helped me get rid off stuff that was taking up space.
Ben, I think I got you beat. I have boxes of stuff that I packed up at my last apartment and stowed in the front compartment of my travel trailer where I now live. That was 8 years ago!
Got both you beat, I moved into this house in June 2005 and have 2 closets full floor to ceiling with boxes from move that have never been unpacked and now have no idea what is in them. Losing job end of November and still cannot collect Social Security for another year so I might then get to go through them.
Glad you had a wonderful visit with your family. Bet they were over the moon with the kids. Yard maintenance is always appreciated. And I love it more the next day. Gives you motivation. Noodles ETC looked FABULOUS!!❤❤
Glad you had a good visit with your family, but I missed you all. After you unclutter your area, I will let you clean-up mine, I’m not far, just come to south eastern Virginia (LOL)
Dry done of the golden rod for tea during cough season. And your black raspberry tea it really works with honey. I drank raspberry tea one week then golden rod the next week too get rid of the mucus.
I enjoy watching Meg do her thing in the kitchen. Cooking, canning, making bread, food preservation etc.. She could be washing dishes and I’d watch!! Go Meg! 💝
Yeah she's a working Machine and not lazy like Ben seems to be getting lately.
Love your flowers Meg and Ben Love to see your Videos Thk u sharing with me.
@@Joe-n6llove how you know this by watching a 20 minute video, these are only snippets of what really happens.

🤞 Hoping the coming rains & wind from Helene do only minimal damage to the homestead. Looks like you're in her path. Be safe. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍
None would be better. 😮
Mother Nature has such an imagination where Her blooms are concerned. Lovely!

Great cleanup, family working together & eating together! Blessings to all your family & everyone here🤗🇨🇦🌻
My husband likes when we have company because that's when the house gets organized and cleaned! (Most gets put in the bedroom!)😊
😂😂 yep 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Where else could we pit it?
@@barbaralewis3281 ☺️
Yup. That’s exactly what happens here good to know we are normal 😂
Good to see the Hollar's back at it. Glad you had a wonderful time visiting with your parents too. It's always good to be with family. Love you guys 💖
It’s gonna look so nice when you get everything all tidied up!! You’ll all be so proud of your place!! Great job!! 🥳🎶✨
I missed you all so much. I'm glad you're back and very happy you got to spend time with your family.
Yep, clutter inside or outside messes with my calm…. Condensing into one neat stack is good!!
Its it wonderful. A house full of men, Love working with men, no confect, no argument
🎉 Glad your parent were able to come visit. It's nice they do that. Ben, those stainless steel sink and counters would seem very useful for your classes.😮
Yes use for classes!
Thursday: I’m watching Ryan Hall Y’all and thinking about you. Take care and stay safe with this incoming hurricane. Prayers coming your way.
Another great day on the Hollar Family Homestead! Blessings Kiddos!🌻🐛🌿💚🙏💕👵
There's something about the cooler autumn weather that lends itself to cleaning up & organizing. Looks good. 👍
Ooh yes! Gotta love a good clean-up. Nice to see you guys back again but glad you enjoyed quality time with your family. 😊
This keeps me motivated to clean my own years accumulation of clutter.
Haha Unintended humor: "The string isn't CUTTING it."
You are so very BLESSED to have your parent's. 2016, 9/24 my mom went to sleep with Jesus.

cool 60's. Fall.
Back to 70s wed. I had the same rice noodles mon. Soy and lots of hot sauce. 🔥 was soo good.
Veggie soup tonight vegan.
My Mom passed away on the same day but in 2017. Today is always a bit of an emotional day. I hope you had a nice day remembering her.
When my 3 kids were young, their favourite food was meat. I love seeing Buggie asking for meat when you're slicing the steak. ❤
Love the homestead.. Thanks Family ❤
Love the music, Meg. It always means the guys are working hard. Things are looking great. And look at your girls grow. Have a blessed week.

Hey Ben, what about utilizing the old farmhouse for storage, since you guys won't be living in it? And Meg cooking is always a joy.
Heya, nice to hear you had a good time with your family
The Fancy Ramen looks delish!
See... if you had a class once a month then your place would always look great!!
That red gonna with the yellow flowers inside ❤
What is that beautiful flower?
Welcome back Hollars I'm glad you enjoyed your family visiting!

I think your best videos involve your entire family. ❤
Good video. Have good week end ahead.

I like the clean up as well! That with the music is my favorite part then dinner! It finishes my day off like a good blanket 😊
Glad you all enjoyed family time. That meal looked amazing.
That Ramen looked so good! I would just add a little hoisin and Sriracha to my bowl. 😋
Hope yall enjoyed time with your family!
Hope you had a nice break!!

I love ALL The Hollar Homestead videos!
You really made a good showing today!!!!
Great video and supper looks delicious!
Use them for your classes, especially January's class, stainless steel is easier to keep clean when cutting up meats. Just an idea. Love your channel.
Glad you were able to enjoy family time with your folks!!!😊🎉❤
Love y'all!

I can see an outdoor kitchen with all the stainless tables and new construction.
Hey Hollers👋, it's not like you sat around you had a baby🤗.
Plus the heat it happens unfortunately 🥴!
YumO, fancy Ramen🎉.
JO JO IN VT 💞
Oh man those steaks looked good … this passed Saturday I had a bone in ribeye, Sunday I had a New York and Monday I had a filet mignon
Today I had a Philly cheesesteak 😎👍

Might be beneficial to use the stainless steel sinks on your porch/balcony
Hey guys, I put a big smile on my face when I seen your video pop up. It’s been a while love watching your family awesome people.😊
Ben, I think I got you beat. I have boxes of stuff that I packed up at my last apartment and stowed in the front compartment of my travel trailer where I now live. That was 8 years ago!

Missed you while you were gone. Glad you had a good visit with parents.
You should try to finish yet another project, like the addition
Prayer time before your meals never gets old...💜🙏
Happy fall y’all!
Man, that meal looks so GOOD! I'll start driving down from Maryland right now! Just kidding!
Those stainless steal could make Meg a beautiful outdoor kitchen
Glad you had a wonderful visit with your family. Bet they were over the moon with the kids.

Enjoyed your cleaning up the farm.. finding a few forgotten hidden things.
Wow that dish looks fantastic!!!
Enjoy all your parents n grands if still with you. Life is short. 8yrs since passing of my parents
You’re basically making Pho which is awesome
Hope you are high and dry with the storm probably heading inland. Chickens & piggies too. LOL.
Another great video.
Dry done of the golden rod for tea during cough season. And your black raspberry tea it really works with honey. I drank raspberry tea one week then golden rod the next week too get rid of the mucus.
Dinner looks so good!
