- We found some old arial footage of our farm so we are looking back on what this place was when we found it, and what it has become today.

I first found this channel when Meg was still early in her second trimester, before Ben really knuckled down on the mobile home. One of the first videos I watched was of Meg in the mobile home, still incredibly bare inside, cheering over a bunch of chicken eggs in an incubator. Just seeing how happy she was, how hopeful for the future, made me stick around and I don't regret it.
You and Meg will never run out of adventures! I want to be there for every single one!😃😃❤❤👨👩👧👦👩❤👨
love this last comment,ditto.🥂
They do and they do it with such fun and smiles and giggles they really do have fun together and as a family. I truly love watching their videos all that they make and just it's so enjoying and also much learning
Can't wait to meet the first grandchild. LOL I'll be waiting.
This is just an observation. Is Meg ok, she looks not up to par. I love your channel and love your interaction between you. You have a great family, I’m very impressed with you parenting. I’m an very active 80 years young and I live through your channel.? 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
Your property has really come a long way, sending blessings to everyone in your family. You all work so hard,
💕🤗👍
Next time please list all the animal food or meat you have raised! Like first chicken s, first pigs and then when you got your milk cow. This will be impressive as well!
I love how Meg looks at Ben as he speaks. You can tell what he is saying is the most important things at that moment in time to her. Bugs is sprouting like a weed, and you guys have done an amazing job with everything you’ve laid you hands on. God Bless and always be Safe.
That is true, but with that said I think Meg is a little more camera shy than Ben. It is more comfortable to stare at the one you love than a camera. It's tough to do. Do you smile?, do you just stare straight ahead? etc....
Home Office...I was just thinking the same exact thing. She has true love for him. Brought me to tears. I just love this 💑couple. I m 60 now ...I remember I used to gaze in my husband's eyes like that all the time. I pray that she will always have her heart flutter for Ben!
Agreed, It Blesses this Gma's heart to see the Love that was rerouted to this farm instead of the rat race that destroys Families with the Desguised as be more do more and the Children often pay the price. I'm Divorced and couldn't get my Faith based leaders to even pray for my family as a younger etc etc moved into my wife position. So I left and returned to a Faith based group who prays for Families. They homeschool their children. And they hold one another accountable when needed. I know live a simple single life on my 100 by 150 city lot. With 6 apple trees, a peach and a pear tree. Strawberries, mulberries and 6 raised beds 4x8 21/2ft tall to accommodate a back issue. I have 2 cattle panels but plan on 4 more along with more raised beds.
I watch your videos as a reminder that life can be better if we keep our Faith centered on the right things
@@pamelaremme38 actually Meg is the one who started the UA-cam channel back in California
@@wendyjohnson2366 Omgosh really? I didn't know that. I started watching them when they were traveling around trying to decide where they wanted a "fresh start." I love this family so much. They are everything that America was suppose to be. Closest thing to Amish but with electricity.
You guys should be so incredibly proud of yourselves! The hard work has really paid off!
Beautiful..you all have grown together..land and family..Buggy will be running it all soon tho.. She will have the best life with her VERY strong Mother, Father and her security team ( fine young men indeed)... so nice to see it all working the way it should. Much love and respect from North Devon, England x
The video footage from the drone captures all the hard work you've done on your property. When you look back, most of the work done was by hand/manually. You didn't initially have the tractor to help. You should be proud of youselves!!!
I think this year everyone was really impressed with your garden! You took it to the next level! Your grass has been getting better every year! Good Job Hollars!
I've been watching since the very beginning of your journey. Seeing the transformation of your property through the years has been great. But seeing it this way is super cool! Thanks for putting it together. What a difference your family has made!! Bravo!!! 👏🏼💚
Glad everything and everyone is safe from the hurricane
So much learning and LIFE in only 3 short years. Joy in the journey.
You two are some hard working people. You have the right to be proud of how much you have done.
Meg has beautiful hair.. Things change when your living with it you don't notice so much till you look back in time
You and the family have every reason to be proud of you accomplishments. Thanks for sharing your work and life.
Ahh , drones let you know what God sees.😊 I’m sure He’s happy with your progress. Keep up the good work! 👍🏼 Blessings to all of you Hollars 😇
Great footage, and also what an encouragement for you all to be able to look back and see how much your homestead has transformed through a lot of hard work and love. You both must be so pleased. Great too for the kids to look back and see how their family pulled together as a team. Looking forward to seeing the next phase of The Hollar Homestead 🙏
Hope you found some positive affirmation of how much work you have done and accomplished. You folks should be proud. Thanks for sharing. 👍❤️🦋🌹🙏🥰
Wow time flies. Big improvement . I've been watching yas before the cross country search for a homestead. Seems like yesterday. Wow. Nice job everyone. Thanks for the many tours and adventures. Look forward to many more to come.
It’s incredible what you have achieved. ❤
That was fun. I was amused about you promising to get more cool drone shots. In all that spare time you do not have? You have turned your abandoned land into a productive homestead. You have accomplished a lot and you are sensible enough to know that you cannot sort everything now, but one step at a time will get you there. You are true stewards of the land and have shown how it should be done.
Amazing how much you have accomplished.
Whoa! What a change! You’ve done so much! Beautiful! ❤
I started watching your journey while you were still traveling and you have made that property “home”. So much hard work . You’re such an inspiration to all of us. Thank you for sharing and I’m sending prayers that you and your home and family will always be blessed. We already know that God has a protective hand over you and we’re thankful.
Such a treat! Thank you very much for editing together those cuts. As I looked at the dates, not only did I remember what you were up to at different points along the way but I also remembered what _I_ was up to as well.
That was a great video ! Amazing when you can see the change. Great job building your Homestead.
*The Hollar Homestead appreciate your videos Listening 🌟 from Mass USA TYVM 💙*
It is amazing from what you rolled up into to what it is today and what it will be in the future. 👍🏻👍🏻
Watching this makes me wish we had a drone to document our progress in building from raw land. Sometimes it gets discouraging because you work so hard all the time & look around at all that is not finished or that hasn't been started & you feel defeated. But being able to see all that you have actually accomplished over the last 3yrs is pretty amazing! Y'all should be so proud of yourselves. I sure am.
Ben, when are you going to make a mushroom for Meg. Went back and watched your Magnolia, Waco TX vlog and you promised one. Can't wait to see it, ha! By the way hello from Bakersfield, my hometown.
Loving how settled you have become, I love how you have found peace within your small holding and how simple yet hardworking your life has become, full respect to you both, as per the title of this video, watching nearly all your videos I see you could use one central barn for your livestock, chicken raising, food harvest storage, and most importantly the workshop, machine shed
Awesome you put together drone footage. It shows how far y'all have come. ❤️
Work never ends, just go day by day! Stay Free!!
Never get tired of some Hollar Homesteading family!
I have watched the videos where you built a lot of these items and to see it then verses now is pretty cool.
I started following you just before you bought the property, so the progress has been amazing turning the weedy farm into a food producing machine, even with fails you have done and awesome job!!
When you consider how many weeks they spent removing all the trash, it really is remarkable..
Amazing Before and Current Photos of your hardwork and detemined farming...the trees have some colors here but they used up most of their ssugars during the drought this summer...Lots of tourists though in the area...Cheers from Maine.
Be proud! You have accomplished a lot!!!!
I started watching your progress when you moved to this place, I don't comment much but seeing the before and after videos it's striking how much progress you've made, especially in the last couple years. The garden area and the orchard have really progressed quite a bit.
Your progress is amazing. You should all be proud of your homestead
Holy cow 😳 The progress is amazing 😍
Can't believe I have been following you guys for so many years 😳...
Love from Sweden as always ❤️
That was so awesome... when you told us how your paying job kept you so busy that you didn't have time to be with your family...and you said if I work this hard for someone else...I can do it for myself....when you said those things, I knew you would be successful. I knew you would do a lot of things you've done, but I sure missed the mark...this is outstanding..I am happy that you are enjoying family..hearts from West Virginia
My wife, Sandi, and I have enjoyed watching your videos. We love the holding hands during prayer at the dinner table. That's something we always insisted on when our children were still in the house. Ya'll continue to be an inspiration to us. Best wishes. God bless.
The progress is amazing!! Thank you for sharing
Enjoyed that very much!
You should be so proud of all your progress and, oh my gosh, so much hard work!
This was a great video of a before and after, amazing stuff.
wow...so nice to see your journey from the air. It's very handy to have such footage, gives you oversight and helps with future planning, You guys did an amazing job, between having a family life with the 4 boys and a late edition and turning this piece of overgrown land into a food producing farm.. We see the kids and the abundance growing.
It's very cool to see the progress. It's also cool to look back at older videos and see how much more comfortable and confident you are talking with all of us.
Been with you the entire time. Love the progress!
Seeing all the chickens coming out made me smile! So many can fit it there and it looked like they would keep on coming 😂
Absolutely fabulous footage! I've been with y'all for a long time and relish your vlogs as I love you all. I am so blown away at how well suited you are to homesteading, knowing your back grounds. You are not only physically able, but so psychologically capable of wearing so many hats. Ben, your talents are amazing. Megan, your talents as homemaker, teacher, and partner to Ben, is so great to watch. Y'all have come so far from teetering on divorce to now being so strongly united. And look how God has blessed you for following His plan for your lives. And gave you the AMAZING MISS BUG!!! I do enjoy seeing your children and understand how you want to protect them from this crazy world - especially social media. It can be scary when people become obsessed with your life. Always know how much I enjoy watching your journey from the wonderful Wabash River Valley in West Central Indiana. I enjoy living vicariously through y'all. Love and hugs, Rossi J
It looks so much bigger than when you first started. It has changed so much. Not only that, but it is beautiful. Thanks for shooting that, it reminds me that change can be a wonderful thing.
The comfort of that swing, i can't explain it. Such a peaceful aura emanated from both you. The love shines through. 🍀🌿🐾🐾💞🦋🕊♻️
You're all are so much fun to watch!
Wow! Abundance just keeps on!
You guys have come so far! Looks absolutely amazing! The time lapse certainly put into perspective all of the amazing work you have done so far. I love following your journey! Thanks for sharing!
You're all doing such a great job at building your dream! Kudos! 👏
I'm so glad that you were able to see footage of your huge progress. I think sometimes you beat yourself up because you don't think you've done things the right way or whatever. But you should be so proud of what you and your family has accomplished! :) You're a hard-working family and you deserve to be proud of your work.Thanks for sharing.
Hi.... Meg and Ben, thank you for showing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🐖🐄🌱🌺🌹🌻🌼🌸🌷🏡🎥👍👍👍
So much has changed, but Buggy ...😍
Loved that, I knew the garden got bigger each year but hadn't realized how much you got this year. Amazed, beautiful, such an accomplishment
Thank you for the drone footage. 👏 I was also asking for the before and after footage. The results of your hard work is fantastic. You two are one of the hardest working homesteading couples. Don't know how you can be raising five kids, work your butts off, look at each other like newlyweds and manage to look so dang cute. 💞 Take care and God Bless.
The orchard to me is a very good marker ! Really love your transformation into diverse productive more lush spaces !
Being able to look back & see your progress is such a boost for your spirit!
I'm proud of you guys. You're like my own kids. I've been vicariously living through you!
It has to be satisfying to watch that collective drone footage. You have every right to be proud of yourselves. It will indeed be interesting to see where you go from here! Meg's Kitchen!
Building memories! Great progress great pictures! Thanks for sharing!
You guys make me smile everyday.
A lot of hard work and it shows, amazing
It's hard to realize how much you have accomplished in such a short time until we see the drone footage of your evolving homestead. I commend you for everything you have done, including having a beautiful new child born. And Meg, not only are you a creative mother, cook, and farmer, your choice of music to accompany the footage, and your editing as well, puts you on a par with professional films I have watched. You are both some of the most diligent, creative, hard-working people on UTube and I salute you.
Wow! I've been watching you guys since before you found this property; so this footage puts a lot of cool perspective on how it's laid out.
Until this video, I've been thinking the soap shack was waaaay down the hill from your home.
It's within hollering distance!
Cool!
Thank you for sharing this!
☮️💝🙏🇺🇸🇮🇱🇺🇦✝️🤜✌️
Have you guys thought what you are going to do with the old farm house at all? ❤️🙏from Bristol uk stay safe all.
yeah, me too. Seems such a shame having it just sitting there when it could be turned into a lovely home.
The transformation is incredible! “Real” people doing what everyone watching wishes we could do.
I love seeing the piles being picked up, then the garden going in,then the grass greening a little, then the garden reading expanding and the grass finally growing green and the orchard growing. 😊Nice!
The grass has gotten super green. The orchard and garden are gorgeous ♥️
Wow wow wow everything has grown including children. What a friggin ride your journey has been. Cheers Gee from Kuranda Far North Queensland Australia 👍💯😍
Oh my goodness the progress is absolutely awesome especially when you go back and record each year the progress that you've made in each area you guys have worked so hard.
You all have done an amazing job clearing homestead you have a place you can be proud of
You've done so much with the property and home. Was great to see the transformation. Peace from WV
The changes on your property are tremendous! Thank you for sharing this journey with us
Y’all have done so much. The farm really looks great. Watching the video was like watching your farm mature over the last four years. Awesome!
Amazing and awesome........you guys have really put in the work. Looks great!!!
Keep up the good work.
Blessings
The growth of the gardens & orchard was wonderful to see. ALL that hard working feeding the family.
Hit the like button as soon as the video comes on. Oh yeah!! Made it in before ten comments this time. First time for me. Nothing to say yet because it’s still in the intro. Keep on keepin on y’all.
You have made great progress in the last few years. It wonderful to see how your family has grown as well. Take care.
just love how you showed us before and after it is amazing what you have done and we enjoy watching every video you do
Beautiful lots of hard work to be proud of
Thank you for all the drone footage😘! It is amazing the progress that’s been made on the Hollar Homestead🤗🤗. Whatever you decide to do next, we’ll be right there with you…day-by-day!!!
Its always self gratifying to go back and see the progress that has been made. All the Prayers, Blood, Sweat and tears over the past 36 months is such a blessing in the end. Teaching your children and letting them be a big part of all parts of the homestead is what we need to get back to. Thanks for sharing Ben and Meg. Have a great rest of your week and God Bless.
Enjoyed. Orchard has really grown. Lots of hard work, one day at a time.
The progress made is something to be proud off! I love watching your story unfold into new adventures. :)
You guys should be proud of all the hard work you have done. Making a home a legacy for your children. Showing hard work and family is all you need to be fulfilled. I enjoy watching your videos. Meg I love your hair down.
Hey guys, I lived in a Park-home, in South Africa on the east coast of South Africa, in a town called East London in and around 1981 to 1990. We parked our home on a field in a farmer's pasture, that overlooked the Indian Ocean & paid rent & power. Oh, my so much happiness, peace amongst geese, horses & pastures. We came to the US in 1998 & I spoke to my husband & said I am happy to do the park home life again, on hopefully my own property with a garden as I am an avid gardener in the city. You have all inspired me back to my roots. Thank you so much for sharing your daily adventures with us.
Ben, just write it in your calendar -Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter- "Drone shots!" It will remind you to get it done that month. You and Meg have accomplished a lot!
How dare you go out side without taking Buggy. She's going to be disappointed. Lol.❤❤❤❤
Loved this! Awesome to reflect on where you were and how far you have come. Be proud - I am certainly proud of your accomplishments
Beautiful homestead…
Enjoyed the before & after clips of the property, especially the garden spaces. " You've come along way, baby" since you guys moved in. And I'm very thankful you've allowed us to come along on your journey. Thank you!
