- We are harvesting potatoes from our experimental hugelculture mound and we are super surprised by the amount we got. We’re also harvesting our beets and carrots, checking on the pigs in their new forest paddock, and making chicken pinwheels for dinner.

I'm sure it's too late because I'm sure the video is days old. But next time you cut off the carrot tops, dehydrate them and use them almost like oregano or basil. Oh... and I have to share with Meg. I turned my Mom onto The Hollar Homestead years ago. She literally was enthralled with you guys. She even went back and watched every single video you made. She ordered some of your soap and was so tickled to death about it. Unfortunately, she passed last August. I've been cleaning out her house and today I found 2 of the 4 bars of soap she ordered from you. I'm now the proud owner of 2 bars of Bumblewood soap. I can't wait to try it. Love you guys!
I am so sorry your mom went home... I'm sure you miss her... But I am really happy that you found the gifts that she left for you... What a great find that was..!
I wondered about the carrot tops. I have seen people use them for making pesto. Think i will give that a try. Thanks for sharing.
I'm so sorry about your mom. Finding the soap is special. My mom died in December at 93. I hope you and your family are well.
May your Precious Mother R.I.P. 🙏✝️🙏
Carrot top pesto
From a mother to a mother. I bet Meg just loves watching all these videos while she’s editing she gets to see what all boogie is doing and her wonderful talking planting potatoes with her daddy, that’s a treasure❤
When your grocery store is in your backyard…life is good!
♥️👍😎
Buggy is getting so tall! What a joy she is to watch with her daddy. You're all such a wonderful family, thanks for the glimpses into your days.
She does love her Daddy. Hope she knows to watch for snakes when she's out in the tall grass and weeds.
I don't know if its becoming a big sister, but Buggy suddenly is looking like a girl, not a toddler.
"I'm a farm girl"! Buggy you make this Grandma's heart sing, loved you're beautiful song too🥰
Loved this too❤
Oh my goodness she is a blessing for sure. She’s very smart also. This whole family has become mine as well. From one grandma to another 💕
Ok. Dang it. I have rotted wood. I have room to dig a trench and I have 3/4 bag of potatoes that are growing in the bag. So I guess I know what I’m doing this afternoon ….😆
Always enjoy little Buggie singing wherever she is, doing whatever makes her happy! Precious!
I about fell out of my chair laughing when Buggy announced "These berries are MINE!" As the little sister to two older brothers, I totally relate to that statement hun!! 🤣🤣
You and Buggie digging potatoes made me smile the whole time. I remember digging potatoes with my daddy. I remember the cool dirt under my feet after daddy plowed them. 😊♥️
I remember getting into the rows my dad had watered and sinking up to my knees, then playing in the mud wallow I'd created until he found me. 😅Yep, makes sense that my first word was 'dirt'.
Never tire of your sweet family and in awe of how much work you’ve done! Meg is the perfect homesteading person, wife, and mama! 💕
Ben, I love your relationship with Buggie. She is growing up at your feet, and she will look back at all this time spent together with great fondness. You are a blessed family. AND, FYI 24 pounds of organic fingerling potatoes on Azure right now are $70!! So great savings!
Have you noticed??? Buggie is willing to share everything but the blackberries!!! 😘 😂🤣 😅
She even TOLD you they were hers! 😆
Smart girl!
Meg is so cute! Seeing Ben holding that baby was so adorable. And buggy being his morning chore buddy is so cute. I can't even believe how big she's getting.
Oh and the boys are so helpful it's killing me! I'm going to die of adoration.
Hoping everything and everyone is ok. Just miss your videos. Don’t mean to invade your privacy but I guess it’s nice to know that so many people care about you and miss your videos. 😊
I have wondered about them as well. They never told us that they would not be posting, so I was concerned that there might
be a health problem or an emergency that would prevent them from posting videos.
I have kept checking back on the channel also. I have been praying for them, hoping everything is okay.
❤ I'm here as well to see whats up. Missing their weekly videos
I am also Hoping everything is ok..Missing your video's
Prayers all is well
Many of us love to follow your family vlog. I am very worried that all is not ok with you all as your vlogs have stopped. Please be to god nothing has happebed. You are all in my nightly prays. God bless you all. 🙏
That’s a nice patch of veggies it would be so nice to go out and pick your supper. I think your a true farmer Ben. I can see how much you like to plant and grow your own food and Meg loves to cook. Perfect match.
I luv all these flash backs hitting my fed. Luv seeing buggie enjoying her berries. 🌻👍🌻
Thanks for sharing your family life with us. Dad and kids working the land. Mom taking care of the little one and feeding her brood…the daily rhythms of life, the normalcy…it’s all such a breath of fresh air.
Absolutely 💥. 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Cut those baby potatoes in half and can them with green beans. We love our green beans and potatoes!
Just want to say…your family is amazing! ❤❤❤Everyone working, no fussing, no not wanting to do the work. Your children are incredible! Love watching them learn and actually doing the work! Your both are doing wonderful job! I wish I was living your life! This world is so messed up…thank God you got away! Blessings to you all! ❤
Our nation needs to get back to living like this. It's pure freedom.
Buggy’s braided pigtails are everything!..she’s absolutely precious!..that was a great haul of potatoes for a bonus bed!..well done Ben…love you guys..thanks so much for sharing your lives with all of us..blessings from your biggest Western NC fan❤🙏🏻
So cute watching you and buggy picking potatoes. The thing I do with tiny potatoes is wash them, slice them in half, coating them with olive oil, and sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper and parmesan cheese. Then bake them in the oven till done.
I am so grateful that God let yalls video's come up. You give me joy to see young people living just like we do up here in sw Virginia. Keep doing what you are doing your family will be better off. Be blessed because yall are a blessing to this old lady ❤
Buggy, you are absolutely a farm girl and a great farm girl at that!
I remember gardening with my Dad, I was one of six children and I was the only one that liked to garden so that got me lots of quality time with him. Buggie is a wonderful helper and it is sweet to see her spending time with her Dad and learning!!!
Love seeing Buggy laying in the sunbeam on the floor while Meg makes dinner. ❤
WOW! Buggy is your little right hand gal.... and oh how she has grown! Makes my heart soar every time I see her out with Dad on the farm...and after all... like she says... she is a "farm girl". SHE IS SO TALL and THINNED OUT NOW! Perfect timing for the newborn.... Love your family!
Good afternoon, thank you for sharing your harvest today! It brought back memories of being on the farm when i was a child and all the food my grandmother and aunts used to preserve, well first dig up and clean and then preserve. I have many happy memories of that farm and my grandmother who would be 115 today. Have a lovely evening.
I absolutely love your channel and your family! What a blessing to be part of your life through videos. I even got my mom to start watching and now she’s going to order from your store. BUT the reason for this comment is for Buggy…let her know that me and mom say GROW everytime we put a plant in the ground. We actually just did it this morning 🤣 thank you for your informative videos you’ve taught me so much and thank you for sharing so much. Your family is loved and blessed.
Love your perspective, it's like a breath of fresh air in a sea of sameness.
Dad and his sidekick. Priceless! Memories for you to hold on to for ever.
Buggy is a great farmer, love how she enjoys being with you and learning. Your boys are so great they jump in and really know what there doing, your both good teachers. Life long learning that will always help them. Love your family.

Buggie sets clear and distinct boundaries.
Good on you girl❕
I love ALL The Hollar Homestead videos!
💕💗💕🙏🙏🙏 Blessed with a great harvest of potatoes,beets,and carrots. Blessed with a beautiful family. Blessed with a delicious supper. What more could one ask for. Thank The Lord Jesus Christ for you all !!! 💕💗💕
This year I have found the Coast of Maine soils and composts to be the best I've ever used. Have been so disappointed with the other brands which have turned out to be just bags of shredded wood that has not been composted or cleaned. Have lost many seedlings to crappy soil. So it was refreshing to see what's in Coast of Maine thriving.
Getting worried as we haven’t heard from you. Hope everyone is well. God bless🙏🏻
I'm a bit worried too, been waiting for the video for days hope everything's fine take care
My thoughts exactly! You all have been in my thoughts 🙏
I love to see you and Buggi working in the garden. She loves working with you and exploring the many treasures in your gardens.❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
It’s fun watching the kids help & get excited about their harvest! The baby sure is growing. So sweet & Buggy too.
my goodness i just realized how tall buggy is. she gonna be long legged like her daddy she is such a treasure ❤❤❤
It won’t be long until you have another sweet girl following you.
Ben: I will say theres some itty bitty ones...
Meg: That's ok, we can still eat 'em
Meg: *licks lips in anticipation*
❤😂❤
I was worried as I have not seen you for awhile. Everyone deserves a vacation!
Wow! When I started this there were 299 views and now it's over 1k! Y'all are loved!!
Just a small 10-minute thunderstorm.
Dropped 20° to 78° Last night, lots of heat lightning for over an hour.
We only had sprinkles. Many got hit hard with terrible storms. A big mess. Lots without power. BLESSED. All is WELL. THANK GOD.
EXCITED 52 FRIDAY SHOPTALK YES🎉🎉🎉🎉
SE MICHIGAN 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 GREAT PICKINS OF FOOD. PIGS ARE HAPPY.
I don't remember whom to attribute this, but STUN gardening: Sheer Total Utter Neglect.
Mark Shepard? I'm listening to his book Restoration Agriculture on Audible right now
I have been meaning to build a Hugleculture bed… glad yours worked so well! Good to hear!
I just love how Buggie has been your helper! What a great kid! ❤
Love your channel! 💚🙌🏽
I rember finding your channel through Art and Bri when he came over to help with the remodel. I have enjoyed watching your family life on the farm. I wish I could live on a farm like I grew up on.
Those little ones would make great salt potatoes. Place a pot of water and add one potato. Add salt until it floats. Add the rest of the potatoes and cook. Drain and add butter to the pot. Good eats.
It would make a fabulous video if you gave us your total numbers of what your meat , eggs , & produce has saved you for even just a year at the going prices. I bet it's several thousand dollars ! Cause we know Meg is all about those numbers !! Lol. Great video today .
New potatoes and peas with a cream sauce. 😋
The small potatoes are great in the morning with sausages, green peppers and scrambled eggs, all stirred together!!
You might want to add a post with a "mailbox" on it, with a few handtools and GLOVES for when you are there just to get rid of the nettles!
When you see your two orange cats together, you really can see the difference. Love little sister 🥰. She reminds me as a little sister. I'm a much older sister these days 😉.
I love how you guys use everything. Waste not want not my mom used to say.
That's what I did this week. Replanted some potato plants after taking the biggest ones off. I just plant peels and that is where I get all the potatoes that I grow.
Megs runaway bread sure is amusing... Your hugelkultur mound at the dugout that stays moist all the time, is really genius... All that good farm air and farm food sure is making Buggy stretch... from teany potatoes to baseball plus sized beets mother nature is smiling at your farm... And with Millie and Sketch leading the pack... You just know... "All Is Well At This Homestead."
I like leaving some little potatoes in the ground for fall potatoes. Buggy is always ready to help dad out in the garden, even though she eats more fruit than ever makes it to the kitchen 😂. Such a beautiful family and you guys are very blessed.
Buggie is soooo smart!! She IS a little “farm girl”!!! ❤️❤️
Your new little one is so precious! It's fun to see a thriving tiny baby!
I am a farm girl. Ben starts so early in morning and there is his little farm girl so beautifully turn out. ❤❤🌻🌻
I pray that everything is well with your beautiful family ❤ I'm really missing your videos.
Wow what a harvest haul. With a big family it certainly a huge bonus helping with good tucker. Love seeing all the kids chip in the reaping the harvest. Great family involvement. All in ... ❤ just helping the next generation learning the great skills of providing for family
early harvest of potato's we call 'new potatos' in the UK, they are really good cleaned boiled or baked, i like to halve them coat in butter and air fry them, mini roast potato's, great for salads or snacking...
I'm so impressed with your children's work ethic. Good children's. You should be so proud.
Yea Maine!! 💚🙌🏽 Proud Mainer here!! 👋🏽 Coast of Maine has great products!
So we run a horse farm here in Maine and take our manure to a compost facility about two miles from our farm. Bensons Farm. They make the absolute BEST compost called Surf & Turf. I adore it for my gardens! Fun fact.. they recently took a humpback whale that washed up passed 😢 in our local harbor to their facility to compost. They use so much seafood shells/ waste, coffee grounds, animal waste etc.. it’s an impressive facility/ operation!!
Appreciation of eating what you grow. The taste is so much more, really can't explain it until you live it. Thank you and your family for being so wholesome. I can't believe how much Buggy has grown since the baby was born. (Good food, fresh air and loving family)
Probably a little heads up so people do not worry too much. A simple we are taking a break.
I hope nothing bad happened.
Buggy is such an awesome farm girl. 😊❤
Oh that little Buggie, such a sweetheart helping dad with morning chores!!!❤ It seems like she has grown a bushel now that she's a big sister!🤗 And speaking of growing, little Elizabeth definitely is filling out and growing good on mama's milk!!!!❤ Y'all make the prettiest babies!😘 I still think Elizabeth Rose is a spitting image of Buggie at that age! So beautiful! Meg, your chicken pinwheels look delicious! Nice haul of new taters, carrots, and beets. I love to roast root veggies. The beets turn out so sweet. I've got the large Pampered Chef sheet pan, and I fill it full of cut up beets, carrots, sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, onions and garlic. Drizzle a little olive oil, salt/pepper, and a touch of dried Italian herbs, then bake until tender. Roasted root veggies are so good...beets are my favorite though cause they get so sweet!
P.S. After watching a 2nd time, I just noticed the "Biscuit" rug in your living room!!!! Nice and soft!👌
the best potting soil ever:) I started my gated in New Hampshire with branches and hunks of wood then put soil over it and was the best garden ever..
Good job Meg, with the bread dough you couldn't have done any better. Meg 💥💙❗❗❗💙💥
Ben, thanks been wondering how the back garden was doing not bad amount of potatoes. Same with carrots and beets always nice seeing the boys helping out. Buggy the farm girl so adorable and love her pigtails Meg.
Meg, the chicken pinwheels oh my looked so delicious.
Have a great weekend.
Blessings to you and the family. 😊🇺🇲
I LOVE seeing kids working in the garden! Gets me in the feels, especially little miss Buggy with her dad harvesting potatoes!
Buggie is so sweet. She knows how to harvest
I love eating from the garden, delicious! Buggie is so darn cute! ❤
Potatoes are my husband's love language!
(LITTLE BABY IS SO SWEET!!🥰)
Those little potatoes are great cooked with green beans and onion, and of course garlic. What a bounty, and Buggy is great help to dad!
My grandad used to make fried potatoes and then add the eggs directly into the fried potatoes and cook till the eggs were completely cooked. It was so delicious! I still make taters and eggs like this to this day. It's always been a favorite of mine!
"Butter makes everything better!" So true..
Awesome farvest! Great to see you beautiful family! Blessings!
Hollar Family---My goodness. You are Goodness. Thank you for sharing your authenticity!
When I was young my grandma & I would dig up little potatoes like that . They were the red ones , she called them 'new potatoes '. (she lived in a neighborhood but had a pretty big yard.) The way she served them was like a delicacy to me. She had the knack with just the right amount of salt and butter.
I cannot believe you are harvesting carrots already! Wonderful looking produce and the helpers are the best!❤❤❤
I don't have an appetite when I'm hot either.
Moe is my spirit animal; doing what I wish I could do...lay down in the shade.🤜
Have a blessed weekend!!!
✌️💖🙏🇺🇲🇮🇱✝️🕊️🙌
Ben, I think you have a good garden this year. Yeah, beets and beef greens and you've had good potatoes. Also in a miscellaneous spot of putting the potatoes at hookup culture area. Good job! Ben, I wouldn't have done it any better than what you've done this year in your garden. You've done very well this year. I couldn't have done it any better Ben congratulations Ben on your garden this year 💥🩷❗❗❗🩷💥
I planted my teeny tiny potatoes in a random spot of the garden I cleared, hoping to use the big ones for seed potatoes next year! Love ya'll! Hey everyone in the comments I love you too! 💚
Hello? Hi - yes can I book a table for two at Meg's Kitchen Restaurant ? 7:00 pm is perfect. Are Baby snuggles included? Ta. See you then!
Ben and Meg ❤
Making smashed potatoes of the tiny potatoes is perfect .
Just cook them for 5 minutes unpeeled of course.
Lay them out on a heavy buttered sheet pan and smash them with the bottom of a glass.
Lots of salt and pepper and some garlic power and sweet paprika powder .
In the middle of the oven at 390
Turn after 12 minutes and add more spices and cook in the oven for 12 more .
Maybe longer , depends on the oven , they are supposed to turn out really crispy round the edges and soft in the very middle😊
Some freshly cut chives on top before serving is the icing on the potato cake😂
One of the best potato dishes ever ❤
I love it with a whole pork loin wrapped in bacon,
some fresh green beans sautéed in garlic butter.
Creme fraise with herbsalt and chives to dip the potatoes in.
Maybe ranch will be preferred by most Americans 🙃
I Hope someone in this comment section will try this for dinner one night.
May I suggest a blackberry cheesecake cobbler for dessert.
If you don’t know what that it.
Just make your normal cobbler You just cut cold plain Creme cheese in small squares and add the bits random on top like the blackberries ( or other berry or fruit if you prefer)
Some cinnamon and Demerara sugar on top before cooking vanilla ice cream on the side..
😅😅😅😅
Yeah.. making myself hungry..
I know what I’ll serve my next guests now, haven made this in a long time, but all of it is amazing ❤❤❤
I love you guys so much!! 😊😊
Rotate your garden gems to avoid disease. Potatoes for sure, do better when they're not planted in the same area fromone year to the next - at least that's how it is where I'm from, and I believe its universal 😊
Yall are such an inspiration and a blessing..keep living your best life and living for Jesus❤❤❤❤❤
I hope all is well with our Favorite u-tube Family God Bless YOU
I have to tell you, those chicken rolls of yours are now a favorite of my family. So delicious, and my new favorite way to use up leftover chicken.
So ...watching Buggie wander around in old logs and bushes, I wonder if you all have snakes and poisonous critters to watch for. How are the ticks in tall grasses/bushes?
How lucky you are , able to spend so much time with your kids, especially Buggie. Truly blessed.
When I saw Buggie in her boots, I immediately thought of, "These Boots Are Made for Walkin".
Sure wish that Meg could electronically ship what she cooks via video's. ;) Loved the whole family interaction today,
I simply love watching all the kids and Mom & Dad workng like its no biggie.... Kids are getting soooo big. Keep it up!
Happy weekend, to one of my fav.. Familys on UA-cam.. Thanks for staying up on the updates to the property.. BTW.. my lil girl just turned a year old today.. so I hope we all have a wonderful day or weekend 😊👍👍
Buggy is so funny and cute and she seems to be getting taller. I love when she spontaneously breaks out into song.
Getting worried about you guys. Am sending heaps of prayers your way!🙏
