How We Produce 80% of Our Food on 1/2 Acre Homestead
Вставка

- We grow and raise 80% of our food on our small 1/2 acre homestead through raising a productive vegetable garden, orchard and farm animals. High Tunnel Link:
s.vevor.com/bfQGlt. Being self sufficient can be done with the right planning, intensely planting, a few fruit trees, raising small farm animals like goats, chickens and even turkeys. See how Ali and her husband manage their small 1/2 acre of intensely planted garden, what types of animals they raise and make it all work for them. Ali's biggest advice is to lean on God and be thankful for what we have been given.

When you gave all the glory to God it took your passion for homesteading to another level,this is why your life and homesteading is prosperous,to God be the glory
I couldn’t do it without the help from Him! 😊
That was a wonderful walk through your garden and homestead. ❤
Thank you so much!
Sister! Yes, I LOVE that you gave the credit to God! Well done friend. Thank you for sharing your beautiful space!💕
Thank you so much. 🤗 🥰 We know we couldn’t do it without the help of God in our life. So grateful. You have a beautiful, blessed weekend 😌
It looks bigger than 1/2 acre.
I would love to see a map of the garden and see how the space is so well utilized.
This sort of thing could be done all across the country but I drive across the countryside and see two acre lots growing nothing but grass.
We have 7 acres of land but I would love to compress the garden down into the easy care system I see here.
@@Alisorganics I love your garden. Mine is so delayed because I just haven't had the energy and strength to do what I usually do. Pray for me, please, to be fully healed and get my food forest in at the new location. (I lost my lease last year.)
Exactly! As soon as she said God, I subscribed!
She didn't say which God. Be careful. You and her could be talking about two different ones. Unless someone says JESUS CHRIST I wouldn't believe them. Because to say God is just to generic.
❤ you gave God a mention. Need more people to do the same because everything comes from Him. Everything.
Yes! Everything! 💕🙏🏼
Praise God for what He has provided for you and your family. Enjoy your beautiful environment. It looks peaceful because you invited God to be part of it. Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦
We feel pretty blessed with what has been giving to us to care for! Thank you and Blessing from USA! Thank you!
so much more beautiful place to be than just a grass lawn...thanks!
We need all the folks like you we can find! Thank you so much for making these encouraging videos full of great gardening tips while acknowledging our Father God!
Thank you as well! Have a beautiful Sunday! God Bless.
I can’t believe how much you have managed to get into that space! Amazing 🤩
It is very tightly jammed pack! 😁 Thank you!
I want to be you when I grow up! 2024 is my first year gardening and I have SO much to learn. With how the world is going, I cannot wait to do this much. It's so exciting!
Yes! Good! That is the best start! Starting!! 😉We have definitely kicked it up a notch the last few years for the same reason.
So well done! And it is through God’s blessings that we can do what we do! What a great influence and inspiration you are sis!❤
Thanks Lori!!! 🥰
Incredibly done! Editing, growing and all!
I have a great editor! My hubby! 🥰 thank you!
To God be the Glory! Your homestead looks amazing, thank you for always sharing knowledge and wisdom on growing food to feed our families!!!
Your welcome and thank you ☺️
God brought me to my acreage and I'm beyond grateful! To give you an idea of where I'm at I just built 5 raised beds and have 3 of them filled and planted. I'm 60 and doing it alone so the process is painstakingly slow. I'm working full-time and driving into the city 5 days per week. My weekends are spent with nature though. I'm surrounded by God's creation and that awareness is in the forefront of my mind every second. I can tell I'm going to love your channel and I just subscribed. Blessings :)
I love that you are doing it and with God as your guidance. When we moved here all those years ago is quit the story and we thought we would only be here for 5 years. 36 years later (in 1 week) here we are. For some reason we know God had other plans for us. Not totally sure why or for what reason. There is nothing that I enjoy more than being with nature in the garden. I calms my wild heart! Thank you for sharing 🥰
"Eat in season as God intended" that's wisdom. This video was inspiration
😊 thank you. 🙏🏼 it’s so true. We always feel better when we do.
Well done. We have 10 acres and produce less than you do. It is all in the planning and hard work. NICE!!!
Thank you. 😊 it is work, thankfully work I love ! 💕
Thank you for giving credit to God! Watching this, I thought the blessings of her land are divine!
I’m in southern PA
Trying to turn a garage into my Tiny House on 3/4 acre
I can’t picture all that you have (grapes, orchards…) on just the 1/2 acre, gives me hope
I know I can have chickens & rabbits but having goats, sheep…🧐 need 3acres for livestock
Just found you here I’ll be back🥰 Thanking God for Small Homesteaders like you😃
I wish I could have sheep! I would love to have a pasture for them. I would raise them for fiber🥰. But for now, my little angora goats are my happy place! Thank you!
I always say, if you don’t have a healthy soil, whatever you plant won’t products the necessary nutrients to nourish your body. That’s a wonderful video, cover so many different topics, and people can learn on each one of them getting deeper information on them. Good job.
Thank you! I appreciate that.
Your channel just came up on my feed today. I love it! Liked and subscribed. Your passion shines through. Thank you from Australia👋💖
Thank you from the US! 💕😊
As a personal friend from Malaysia 🇲🇾, I want to say thank you for sharing your knowledge on gardening and food sufficiency. 🙏🏽✝️
My pleasure 😊
Thank you for sharing!
God Loves and Blesses each of us. 😊
Your welcome 🙏🏼 yes He does 💕
Inspiration for the better use of my little spot of land. God bless!
Your garden is my dream! So beautiful 🥰👩🏻🌾
Thank you 😊
Yes….it surely is.
Thank you for attributing it all to god
Your welcome. And it’s true. Couldn’t do it without God in my life. So grateful🥰
Thank you for sharing your small homestead design and ideas! Yes, thank our God daily. Love that you believe. Eat in season but put-up food for the off-season. That's the part that many who preach "eating in season" miss -- the human element, where we use ingenuity to extend the provision He gives us -- into all the seasons. Very inspirational. I just subscribed and hope to see more of your videos.
Thank you very much. Blessing and have a beautiful week🥰
Wow! That is amazing! I don’t know how you manage all that especially when it gets so hot there. What a beautiful place you have made.
Thanks so much
Make sure you watch till the end! that's my favorite part . I was able to visit Ali's shop last year. I could not believe everything she is doing there on such a small space. Just beautiful! Thank you once again Ali!
Thanks Jill. It was so nice to meet you last year. Your a sweetheart 💕
Hallelujah!!!!
Thanks for acknowledging God as the doer of it all
Absolutely! Because He provides all possibilities! 💕
I just watched this video and loved it. You aren't boring for sure. Yes...God is the answer! I just subscribed. Thanks and love from this grandma from Central Oklahoma.
Thank you for that. I love gardening so much I worry I go into too much depth. Live back from this Utah grandma! God bless you!
Your garden homestead is incredible! The finest I’ve seen on UA-cam, very well done and inspiring.❤
Wow, thank you! I really appreciate that. It has been fun, and a ton of work ☺️
@@Alisorganics the rewards far outweigh the work and sacrifice, and your children and grands will benefit also , you are living a legacy for them and us viewers, God is so good!
Thank you for sharing your garden and story, I have a 50’x100’ garden it would be larger but I work 10-12 hr days doing road construction so my larger garden is in the fall where I am rained out and can work in my garden even in the rain 😊 texas sun is brutal so are our deer . Your garden looks beautiful, the Lord is good always
50’x100’ is impressive. I am in Bowie County, N. Texas. What region are you growing in?
Thank you! That is a very nice sized garden and a LOT of work for sure. We don't have deer in town.
Our sun is so brutal here as well. Makes July and August tough months to grow. I use lots of floating row cover to help protect my plants from burning up. What zone are you in? How hot do your summers get?
God Bless!
I’m so glad I came across your page. Adding faith into your homestead is so inspiring. We’re also on 1/2 acre but in Las Vegas. Your homestead is a dream. Thank you for sharing!
I would love to do a gathering/conference someday of people that are striving to homestead on small acreage. We could all share ideas and I think learn so much from each other! Thank you very much!
@@Alisorganics yes!!! That sounds amazing. I’ve been documenting my journey on Instagram on how we’re learning to homestead. So much to learn. I’m glad you share what you know and I came across your content. Keep it up! 💕
Just a quick word of encouragement: you (and your garden) are beautiful. Thanks for demonstrating Proverbs 14:1, "The wisest of women build"--you are at work building a productive, joyful life. Well done ❤
Thanks for that!
Praise God for His abundant provision!!!!
🙏🏼 amen
I just found your channel and I love it so much! You are an inspiration. We have a small 1.3 acre homestead with a 3/4 acre committed to pasture for our ruminants. We have only had it going for a couple years since we relocated to the Central time zone, but I can't wait until it is as productive as yours. Praise the Lord for all things.
It takes a few years, but so worth it! I would love to have pasture, but we do with what we have. Thank you so much for your comment. May God Bless you and your family 🥰
Amen! Thank you for creating these videos.
We have the space, but I was about to get discouraged battling the elements. This helped pick me back up. God and Prayer guides us to what we need. 👩🌾🐥🌻
Elements make it hard, but I keep in my mind the reason I’m doing it and move forward. Last night we had 55 mph winds all night. I don’t know how, but we lost little fruit, some sunflowers and some ruffled leaves. Thanking God today! 🥰
The way you praised God for it all did it for me. I hope to make the most of my little homestead also and your spaces are so wonderfully laid out. Subscribed!
Thank you🙏🏼 I’m sure you will able to do the same for your homestead. God bless you in your endeavors.
Thank you! Lots of wonderful information, quick lessons and tips , and encouragement for beginners 👍 And, glory to our Creator 🙏❣️
Thank you very much!
Great video! Your homestead is one of the most efficient and well organized I've seen; I'd guess it was two or three acres at least. Could you make another video showing some aerial views of the whole place in one shot, and maybe a sketched map explaining where everything is located explain how work patterns flow throughout the property? Truly an inspiration.
Yes. I will be doing one this summer. Thank you very much! 🙏🏼 😊🌻
How inspiring! Thanks for sharing. Our family has been homesteading since 2011. God is faithful and has given us beauty for ashes...literally!
We absolutely can not do it without Him!
Thank you. 😊
Just found your channel. WOW, you've got it all in a small space. Had no idea you could do all that in small place. This is my 2nd year with container garden. Looking better this year.
Glad GOD is the center of it all. GOD BLESS.
Thank you! We do put a lot on this little piece of ground for sure. Good luck with your container growing this year! 🥰. God Bless!
Wow, Thankyou for the encouragement, doing SO much with so little, God is good, Praise Jesus 🙌🏼
You’re welcome and thank you! God bless 💕
Praise God for what He has provided for you and your family. Enjoy your beautiful environment
Thank you for referencing God, He provides.
Of course! We wouldn’t be anything without Him!
If I had half an acre I could grow lots of food.
Dad would plant in early Spring Baby onions and when they wrte the size of the tip of his little finger hed dig them up n sell them then hed plant his main garden over where his babu onions were.
I loved this. Just found you and the amount of information you provided without an endless amount of redundancy was brilliant! Thank you! I also love that you gave thanks to God. I believe that is WHY you have been so abundantly blessed. ❤
😊 thank you. ❤️❤️❤️
Yes, all glory to God! Thank you for sharing your homestead with us. I got lots of ideas and I have been doing this for a while! I really appreciate that it was concise, packed with info and enthusiasm. Anything worth doing is going to mean work. Let's just do the work anyway, with a smile on our face, right?!
The 1/2 acre is used very nicely 👍
Thank you 😊
❤😊🙏🙏🙏 Yes thank God Almighty daily for many bountiful blessings, and praise Him for His infinite goodness.
🥰❤️❤️❤️
I’m so thankful I found your channel, Ali! You seem like an old friend who I’d love to come hang out with in the garden! I live in a deed restricted neighborhood near Houston with a much smaller lot than yours, but even with zero conceptual skills, have been building my own little micro farm here over the past several years, with vegetables, flowers, fruit trees, berries, chickens, and bees. It’s such a joy to work with God to create beauty and a bountiful harvest. Is it perfect? Definitely not! Always a work in progress, but we are thankful for the fresh air and exercise and ability to share our bounty with friends and neighbors. Thank you for sharing your life, passions, and the love of God with the world ~ keep shining your light!
Thank you so much! I love what you are doing! AND that you keep bees! I’m am enjoying the bees more than ever! Such a wonderful creation to enjoy! Again, thank you so much for your words! We need to be gardening friends!
Beautiful set up, Its the bees knees.
I love your garden!!! I have 1/4 acre in a subdivision & I have turned most of my backyard into a garden. Your channel is one of my favorites!
Thank you so much! That means a lot. I love that you turned your backyard into a garden. I have another area that I’m hoping to transition this year. Such joy!
So do I live in a small town that's what I did with my back lock yard I'd love to see yours
Omgoodness 😮 I am stunned 😳 Unbelievable what y’all have achieved!!
I am literally amazed at everything you’re raising and producing 😄
Wow, Wow, Wow!! I am so happy for you!! 🙏🏻
Thank you so much!!
You are my new BFF 😂😂❤. Watching from Liberia, West Africa. Great work sis. I used to watch you when I was in America.
Wow! I have just started 2 years ago with a vegetable garden and fruit trees. I have a ways to go. You are such an inspiration. I'm so glad I found your channel!
Thank you so much! I do really appreciate that. AND that's a great start!
I want to make "garden fencing" I think that would serve two purposes, 1- a privacy barrier, 2- a productive structure (can plant fruit or flowers, either should be very delightful to have)
What a beautiful message! Your homestead is a dream!
Thank you!🙏🏼
Its superbeautiful!
Thank god daily
Wow, you are living in paradise, the green view, beautiful flowers, water, fresh air, healthy food and tranquility!
Truly, this is true happiness. I wish I were with you and shared all the work with you. I truly want to help you for free. I want to live in nature because I truly adore nature!
Do you want me to help you?
Where are you located?
@@Alisorganics Iam from Jordan 🇯🇴
I can already tell i need to rewatch this with a note pad 😍 so much great info!
Yes darling you are so right. I grow at a 3m space but we get a lot of food which we eat for 7months
Outstanding. Very inspirational on so many levels. Wishing you God's blessings from Australia.
Wishing you God's blessings from Utah US 😊. Thank YOU!
Looks like my video reached all the way to the land down under! Thanks for the blessings and support.
As a personal friend I want to say thank you for what you do day in and day out , this is something I want to do with the property we have ,but it's hard for me to get started because I start work at 5AM and by the time i get home other things need to be done, I'm sure you know all about it anyway thank you and may god bless you as well !❤😇
Hi Rosemary! Thank you so much! It has been so fun to get to know you. AND my melon seeds you sent me are going in the ground tomorrow morning! Thank you!
@@Alisorganics oh your welcome ! And that's great to hear 🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉
Thanks for taking the time to make such a well-planned video. There is A LOT of information here and you've addresses pretty much all considerations that need to be made.
My pleasure. Thank you for that💕
AMEN! Thank you for a great video and tour. I love your homestead and all you inspire us to set our sights and prayers on. Be blessed!!
Thank you so much for your comment. 🥰 living this way has been a blessing. Blessings to you!
I am a new subscriber, and this video was amazing. I learned so much from your tour. Your homestead is what I am praying and working to achieve! God bless.
May God bless you in your achievements! Keep focused and it will happen! Thank you so much for your kindness.
There but for the grace of God go I.
💕
Wowww!! Your knowledge and skills are an inspiration to all of us!! I follow many homesteaders and by FAR for the smaller piece of land you own, compared to many I follow, you are knocking it….out…of …the park!! I learn more from you, compared to the others! You def are very skilled, and make it easy to understand. Great channel!!! Thank you 💚
Thank you so much. You don’t know how much I appreciate that. 🥰🥰
This is one of the greatest videos ever made
Thank you so very much 💕
What a phenomenal video! The words, the arrangement of it all. Floored.
Thank you. 😊 💕
I always enjoy hearing your perspective and seeing your lovely gardens.
Thank you!
Your acreage is so functional and cute! Mine's a hot mess! Lol! It's hard when you work a full-time job and you are doing it on your own. However, I still love doing it all. And, you sleep good at night! God bless!
“Hot Mess Homestead” sounds like a reality show. Can I be on an episode? 😂
@@Emiliapocalypse I'll bet we could find plenty of us!😂🤣😂
I know what you mean. I have a shop (farm store) on the property and that is my full time job, but I am here and can work between helping people haha sometimes! And you are right it does help you to sleep!😃 thank you💕
Haha! To fun!
😂
Absolutely beautiful planning and management of your land. Absolutely love it. God is good.
Thank you 😊
Thank you so very very much for sharing how you make it all happen. We'd like to try to follow in your beautiful stepa a bit. It's awesome to see just how possible it is. You do more on your 1/2 acre than many do on 5 acres! What an inspiration❤
What a lovely little farm! I agree that we should and must do things in God's time according to His inspiration. If we've learned anything over the last few years, it is this. "A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps." Proverbs 16:9 The Yiddish have a humorous way to say this. "Man plans. God laughs." I'm going to start watching your channel. Thanks for this visual feast.
I love that Yiddish saying! And it’s so true!!! Thank you!
Goats are the same world wide such funny critters strangely they love to climb I have seen them in trees and are very quick even in rocky areas
They are a blast! I look forward to kidding season. Those little goats are so enjoyable to watch.
Love your videos! We have just under 4 acres, but you’re so right about being able to do a lot with a little! Large acreage is nice especially if you have larger livestock but a lot of space is wasted on larger homesteads. It’s not necessary to have great abundance and you show that so well!
Large acreage is nice for livestock. I would definitely have a cow or two and sheep!
Thank you so much for your videos! You are such a wealth of knowledge! And I agree keep thanking God, our sustainer, our peace, and the one who gives us life.❤
Thank you very much. 💕
I wish I could come tour your space! It’s amazing! Well done 🎉❤
Ali I just love your videos! They are so informative and INTERESTING! Can’t wait to see you guys this fall.
Thank you! I’m so excited! It’s come up quick and we can’t wait to see you all again too!
Beautifully said!
Best home 🏡 stead 🏡 video 📹 ever ❤ 😊ALWAYS your videos 📹 are super fantastic,,your amazing and awesome 👌 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you so much🥰 I appreciate you and your kind comment. 💕
Awsome Job! Very encouraging! Weve are about 5 years into our 1/2 acre homesteading. In a HOA community.😊
Oh my gosh! That is AWESOME! I’d love to know how you are going it 😀
Goals..thank you for all the info. 🙏🏻
Beautiful great save groceries money ,healthy happy and❤❤❤❤❤❤
To God be all the Glory❤
🥰
wow how unbelievable, your home is wonderful!
I just love your garden ❤😊
😊 thank you
Great stuff. Started a garden last year and working to be in the same ballpark as you guys
I almost find the small space fun and challenging to see how much I can squeeze into it! I’m “almost” maxed out. 😊thank you. I would love to hear what you are doing to get the most out of your space.
@@Alisorganics been renting for years and we just moved but our last rental I wasn’t allowed to use the grass area so I had pots on every part of the porch area (maybe 40 feet x 5-8 feet depending on the area and had to account for the overhang that had one section 6-8 hrs of sun and the smaller portion 2-3 hrs which is where I put a pop up green house and the citrus thrived in it). Took 2 U-Haul trips to move all those hahah so I used every inch I could. Now in a new rental and can use the yard more. Can’t do what I want to do in the sense of digging up and such so still pots and grow bags but can use the side of the house, backyard, all that (even the front I’m trying to do some ninja gardening). Lots of trial and error but have learned a ton in a year. It’s too cool grabbing a tomato out of the back or herbs or the berries.
Thx for Sharing, you give a lot of people hope.
Your welcome! I really hope so. 😌
If I had to guess, I would guess that is on 3 acres. Great job, you are one busy lady.
I’ll do a layout of the entire place this summer. Everyone says it looks bigger. I WISH I have 3 acres. I’d have sheep!!!! Anyway I think it would be fun for everyone to see how it’s all crammed in!
I love your garden and animals. Thank you for sharing ❤
You are so welcome! I love our animals too. They bring us lots of joy! Thank you
I sure wish I lived somewhere that didn't get down to double digit negatives half the year. Then I could grow 2nd & 3rd crops or "extend my growing season through the winter with cold frames".
I think up north I'd need a lot more land for the same results 😓
What planting zone are you in?
Beautiful garden
Love it !!!
I love all your info I had to subscribe 😀blessings ❤
Thank you! 😊 blessings to you as well 🥰
Amazing!!
that is incredible
