We're a small family farm in the Florida Panhandle. After relocating back home from the Middle East we wanted to build up the most self- sufficient lifestyle possible with our kids, in order to grow as much of our own food as possible. Through raising livestock, tending to a garden, preserving food through canning and fermenting, learning about local fauna for medicinals and wild edibles, we are hoping to encourage others to do as much as possible for themselves through re-learning some of the forgotten "old" skills.

Nice to see a video again l know that yall are busy with work and the kids but I do miss the barn talks I'm also an avid reader so thanks for the recommendations

[@HiddenOaksHomestead]

Thanks so much for your continued support! I hope you'll enjoy the reading

[@mendozaconsultation]

I have been looking at the Lost Book Of Remedies one,because I need help with my health and what I always taught were weeds,turn out to be Medicinal herbs used for CENTURIES.
This book not only claims to give what herbs can heal a variety of conditions and used for food,but also gives color illustrations (Pictures) so one DOESN'T ingest the wrong thing.
DO YOU RECOMMEND THIS BOOK.?

[@HiddenOaksHomestead]

Yes, I highly recommend.
If you have local herbal walks offered, I suggest going along for one

Hello! I haven't watched too many of your videos yet, but with you having full time jobs and having multiple types of animals, do you have outside help? We have horses and between my in-laws, my Wife and I, it seems we have little time left over for anything. Ubrigens, Gruess Gott! Wir bedanken uns fur Eure Auskunft uber Eure Erfahrungen.

[@HiddenOaksHomestead]

Hallo, freu mich!
Yes, we both work full time, we have our family to run, plus the farm. It's difficult but doable. After 3 years we found a certain groove. The kids help alot. Daily chores are just part of the day, bigger projects wait for weekends or time off.
It takes time and money, which are both limited resources
Here's a video we did about it
