- Ben’s getting ready for our next pig butchering workshop, and that means dealing with the giant hide we harvested from our cow. He’s also saving three newly sprouted fruit trees and transplanting them to safer spaces.

Ben, you always say. "Sounds like a pretty simple dinner," Dude. NOTHING about Megs dinners are simple!
I for one, absolutely love that the kids run around barefoot! Like we used to when we were kids!👍🏽😀❤️🇺🇸
It’s kinda strange to me to ge bare feet in the winter.
We were never allowed to go bare feet or sit on the ground before we had heard the first cuckoo bird in the spring , avoiding to an old wives tale ( usually one time in May)
We try to stay in here these days .
35 inches of snow and -22 F…
Haven’t been so cold for 20 years🥶🥶🥶
I’m not concerned about the cold. The children now a days don’t feel it. But around a construction site where there are nails and possible sharp metal objects around?
I’m not trying to shame anyone. I’m just being a mom.
I love it barefooted kids I am still one shoes are overrated
And I love that they clearly wear their jeans a couple days in a row so mom doesn't have to do laundry so often! ❤
@@toniasilvas5422 @toniasilva it’s ok. This is their own property not a construction site. They clean up after themselves. Try not to worry. ❤️
The key to keeping things cleaned and picked up is to constantly invite company over...
That is the absolute truth. It also explains why my place is a disaster since no one has visited in about five years. LOL
Ben, My Grandpa always went Saturdays to do his shopping. He first would go to the barbershop to get a trim and chat with his buddies and catch up on the local gossip. After that he would stop at the corner store and get a coffee & a dozen doughnuts. His third stop was to the Farmers Feed & Supply Store. He would get Bar Chain Oil, Chicken Feed, a pair of gloves if there was a sale, 3 pack of wooden matches, some milking machine hose( just in case), three reels of 5/64 cable wire for the sugarhouse chimney pipes. He would pay and head back thru the loading dock area where he had parked his truck. Back then the farmers brought in empty grain sacks. Grandpa always asked if he could grab a coulple and they always gave him as many as he needed. He used these sacks for his tree farm. He used old dried manure and compost first ,then dirt. He would plant the tree in the sack then would keep it up in the milk house because it was warm and wet. Time to plant
and he always slit the sack and planted it in the hole with the tree.
Buggy, girl you steal my heart. You are so stinking' cute! The boys working together are amazing as well. Beautiful family.
When a plant of any sort has Princess Buggie yell " GROW!" at it, it darn well better grow!
Awesome Project Ben. Yall just never stop being amazing. Meg needs to win an award to doing everything that she does in that tiny kitchen.
I am so happy I'm not the only one that has kids running barefoot this time of year 😅
Love you guys so much ❤
Ben faithful viewer here. I love your parenting style. The kids have so much freedom blended with responsibilities. That makes for a well rounded person. Your entire family pitches in to help. Your home looks awesome with that skirt you made. It just gives it a clean fresh look. My skirt is sun aged and needs replaced. I could use you. Tell Meg hi and give Lil Sister a hug! Congratulations on the baby. 💖
Barefoot Buggie! I love that she has a coat and gloves.😊
This is the farm girl life I grew up as 50 years ago. I have never regretted growing up on a farm 😊 Meg, Ben your children are the best helpers. Great parenting shows through them.❤
Oh just heard making it a rug … great
Watching Ben work with trees really makes me want to plant more trees in my yard
Im in Maine so planting is a few months away, but you can bet I will be telling my plants to grow with Buggy's enthusiasm. LOL. GROW! GROW!
I love how sister cousins herself with songs and stories , lol so precious also how much she wants to dive in and help ,such a strong character ty Jesus
Love that you have saved the tiny cherry trees and saved that second peach. Soon they will thank you with fruit.
Buggie telling the tree to grow was so cute!
Yelling at the top of her lungs,and daddy pulling 2 out 😂
I love how your little girl enjoys tagging along side of you.
A motto I'm still trying to perfect is, "don't put it down, put it away." When I'm doing any outside project, I've learned that if I just take a few minutes and put everything back..(garden tools, water hose, buckets, project stuff etc) it keeps my yard, shed area, garden area..sooo much nicer and I don't ever have to come back and face a mess. The items don't just get that way, it's where we didn't 'finish' and put them away. An expert gardener that I watch says if you know you're gonna move shrubs or trees, go ahead and cut down into the roots, and leave them...they will develop smaller roots closer to the tree and it will be easier to move the tree and you will have new roots growing to make sure the shrub/tree survives.
Can't wait to see the tanning of the hide.
Love seeing the family working together, y'all are always busy.
Love to see Buggy and her yelling "GROW!" Cracks me up. 😂🤣😂😊
I watched Ben last summer talking about his peach trees and we purchased Red Haven peaches and I saved the pits and planted them in the fall, I am hoping that they will sprout!
As many have commented, I love that all your kids run around barefoot. No Podiatry needed there. They are helpful, respectful and growing Ike the weeds. Buggy is going to be thrilled with a new baby. As im sure everyone else will be. Oh and Meg, you are glowing.
So enjoy watching everything you are doing.
You should put burn barrels in your orchard in the spring. On frost nights start fires in the barrels and the smoke will keep the frost from sticking to your trees. That is what they do to apples in the UK.
I really like how Ben allows Buggy to figure out where things should go. Allowing her to be decisive and make choices is a skill that she's developing, as daddy gives her tips.
Bug is so cute the way she helps her dad. She had me laughing. Those big gloves on a jacket and barefoot lol. Be safe and God bless.
Omg so happy to see someone else grow Jerusalem artichokes. I like to boil them til soft, mash them and then mix with some black beans, whole oats, cooked white rice, seasoning like oregano, salt, pepper, dried onions, garlic, cayenne pepper add an egg or two with some homemade bread crumbs and make them into burgers. Bake or fry and serve on homemade English muffins with some Tzatziki sauce.. They also make great meatballs using the same mix and add to mac and cheese or spaghetti and sauce. If you slice the raw artichokes super thin and air fry them they are better than potato chips. Dip the chips in a mix of homemade mayo and some hot sauce. Anyone who has gas issues with the sunchokes, just soak them in a vinegar and water solution for a few hours, then drain and cook however you like. We also shred them and serve on top of a kale salad with some feta cheese. We grow them in our suburban backyard and have already pulled out about 40lbs worth. You can store them in some pine shavings in pine chips in a cool dark place for a few months. Our chickens and ducks also love them.
I’m in the U.K. and I never wore shoes even in snow sometimes. Walking on a stony beach was nothing. Even now in my 60s I hate waring shoes flip flops because I have to have shoes on my feet due to being diabetic. Watching your children run around reminds me of my childhood ❤
How cute buggie wearing a winter coat and bare feet
Ben ,Meg , and family. I enjoy your videos so much! I’m glad your boys are such a great team. Working together with you to make sure that huge hide stays dry, and stretched. Congratulations on the new baby! Buggie is such a good gardening helper! Meg, I speak strength, energy, and enough rest to get you through the next class. In Jesus Name!
Nice hide, kids sure have tough feet Great to be a grounded kid
Buggy is so dang cute,running all over the homestead .I wait patiently for your videos to get posted,I just love how close your family is.
I’m 58 and I still run around barefoot a lot . GODBLESS
67. Same here. Getting bare feet in contact with the ground is actually very healthy.
Thankyou for sharing your life.. You are a beautiful family who I've come to love watching.🙂
You and Meg are an inspiration and I learn so much from watching your day to day living... Much 💜 to you and your growing family.. 💜🦘🦘💜
Yes agreed ❤
I worked on a deer hide for months but my son in laws dog chewed it up. I'd be fascinated to see what you do with that hide.
My husband threw mine out .. i was just going to shave it..
Way to impress your father in law!
Buggy is always wanting to help ❤ such a cute little farm helper 😃
I love that Buggie is going to have a little Sister or Brother. Love seeing the boys and Buggy barefoot outside learning and enjoying life. Can't wait to see that Hide Tanned. You guys rock. Peace from WV
In Texas I grow cilantro and lettuce in winter. Start in November and it just grows without bolting …as long as I water it!! We don’t get much rain in west Texas!
“Congratulations on the upcoming Special event! I cried when y’all announced baby # 6!! Meg you look beautiful!” I know you probably have a beautiful shawl on the needles for new baby!
Lots of busyness. Work never ends on a farm. The boys are such a big help. Stay warm and be safe. 💞
Gotta love all the helpers and their bare feet! Looking forward for the next one.
Hi..... Meg and Ben nice to see you Love watching your video beautiful great good job BYE 👋 BYE 👋 BYE 👋 BYE 👋👍 👍👍
I was glad to see what you are doing with your CowHide! Thank you for sharing that.
Buggy is going to be a great little gardener ❤ I hope all of your boys will love homesteading when they are grown. It's such a healthy way of life 👍🏻Also, Congratulations on your new Baby!
Blows my mind. I am sitting here with 15" of snow on the ground and more coming down and you are planting trees & digging sun chokes. Little over 1100 miles between us. Wow!
Good job dad way to involve the kids. Really enjoy the channel. Making memories!
I was raised barefoot and I raised my kids barefoot. We are very healthy people because of it…mentally and physically!
Planting for many years to come. Best wishes for the class. 💕💕🌻🌻
I am excited to see how you tan the hide and turn it into a rug. How freaking kewl will that be!
I am also impressed with how you are creating a few orchards. I love trees. We had 5 Queen Anne cherry trees in the yard where I grew up outside Vancouver Canada,
I enjoy your podcast too, I was never a podcast listener before yours and now I listen to a few more. I love technology and how it keeps me connected to the world. I am picky about what I watch and listen to and am blessed that you share your journey.
Nothing simple ever about her dinners Ben. Simple is a can of beans with boxed cornbread. 😊
My brother use to tan hides too…he used a lot of salt.
Sister said grow! so they’ll be ok 👍🏻
18:48 Yall could take apart those old washers & dryers, use the drums as raised beds. That’s what I did with mine 🪴 I painted them cherry red…leftover paint from a Popeye’s job lol. Byeeeee 👋🏻
Cilantro is a cool weather crop, try putting it in your high tunnel this winter or very early spring
Congrats on the new addition! I have been curious on how the bees did last year. Were you able to harvest any honey?
I’m so glad you’re keeping the hide. Especially since this was your first steer…can’t wait to see how it turns out! I have enjoyed every minute of the harvest! Thanks for sharing..blessings❤🙏🏻
I rememberwhen I was just a little feller, my dad would tan hides... but it seemed it was quite often it was my hide he was tanning. NO FUN
It was so sweet to hear Buggie say "my momma" as she climbed up into Meg's lap at the end...at least that's what I thought I heard !❤
We got 16 - 24 inches of snow last night . ( we usually get that in a year , not one night 😂😂) so much to do all the time ! Blessings hollars!
Where are you at?? We are cold here (NE WA State) lots of snow ❄️ some places lite in the Valleys. Winter has arrived
@@suemcculley7073 northern nevada :) we usually get snow but never this much
Hey ya, I just love watching your video your children and everything you do and I’ve learned a whole bunch of stuff watching you guys over all the videos😊
I love your trio pod cast!!! Great guy's getting together 😊
You got your work load full Ben and with the new Addition and springs coming fast. God bless.
Fantastic accomplishments, by the whole family! May all your projects be successful! Blessings to everyone 🤗💕🇨🇦
I love your pod cast with Jason Sow The Land. I watch both of your channels. Never miss one.
Boots/shoes are not cheap. Boys grow so fast. Having 3 plus one (dad), maybe they would appreciate some sturdy boots forwarded too them care of their nearest PO.
Would love to see the process of the hide tanning!
Hey there , I hope your peach and cherry trees will produce fruit in the future for your family. A word about the Sun chokes , be very careful what you say about just letting them grow , they can take over quicker then you think , took five years of digging out every spring till I got my garden back in control.The sun chokes have beautiful flowers , but under ground is a whole other type of dare I say ...invasion.
Every time I see your 'barefoot boys' I think about John Greenleaf Whittier's poem by the same name!
Cool beef hide. We had 4-6 inches of snow a few days ago. Friday and Saturday we are predicted to have 8-10 more snow😮 praying your rain is nice gentle soaking the earth. I enjoy your videos 😊
Dianne you wouldn't happen to be in Michigan would you? Sounds like our weather and our week end forecast here in lower NW Michigan.
@kgs2127 yes, middle of Michigan
You are a beautiful family ❤
Buggy is always in there like a dirty shirt. She is too precious, she will be one sweet big sister. Good luck for your last class.
I love the way you Garden Ben. Wish I could get away with it, but the Elk have their own agenda around here. Happy Day
Grow cilantro in the cold! It handles freezes perfectly. It also stores really well just frozen in ur freezer
Always learn so much and love your family!!!! Always feel like I need to pay you all for all you do and give to me. So today, I watched Arnie Tex. and He made the best "Grilled Tacos Al Pastor" Used pork butt so know it will be something you all may enjoy! I am going to make it when I butcher my 3 little pigs. Thank you again for all the teaching you give to make my little homestead better!
Nice sunshine. It was sunny and warm a few hours ago. We took a walk. Right before the sun went down the clouds moved in and the snow started and it'll get down to 18°F overnight. It's only half an inch of snow but it'll be ice in the morning and no snowplows in the Pacific NW. Wow, the hide dried and broke the frame! I'm glad you saved the hide. Nice, mostly back to somewhat square. I like the big bolt you put through it. Wow, 60 to 65 mph winds could rip that plastic right off the hide. That will make a great rug. Looking good upstairs. Meg, you feed those class participants very well! That's great that you got free trees from the moldy seeds in the bucket. Two pear trees and two cherry trees! Cute that Buggy picked which garden plot to put the smaller peach tree. I don't even know what sun chokes are. It's a nice little food forest there. I like that you're putting the little cherry trees there. Too bad about your black walnut trees! I have black walnut trees. Do you want me to send you some of my nuts? I'm in Minnesota. Thanks for this video Hollar family!
There is a very old British way for tanning hides, bury the thing in Oak chips and leave it for about a year.
Have fun at your workshop!!!
Congratulations! I’m so happy for your family!!!
I really admire your dedication to building a strong homestead.
Miss Buggy is the bestest supervisor, tree digger, Jerusalem artichoke spotter...barefoot baby...She reminds me of myself and my boys. We were and are still barefoot babies...great immune systems!
lettuce and cilantro will grow best in the green house during winter
My chickens dug under the fence and logs around a tiny sunchoke patch and ate them all! Great back up chicken food.
I see your current barn as a shop. If you could convert the old house into an animal barn, that would be a perfect place. I don't know if that is possible, but I guess that would require time mostly to take it to the studs and money to build it back up. It looks like it was a barn in its past life from a distance, at least.
I'm excited to see how that steer hide turns out.
cilantro tip...cut it early so it gets bushy and trim and freeze in ice cube trays
Hello a, FYI...when the clouds look opaque, like a bathroom window... they ate snow clouds. Here it means about 500miles away, 24-48 his, they will get snow. Lorraine Australia
Love watching you and your kids working together.
That salmon looked amazing at the end. Thank you for taking us along for the tree transplant. I love seeing Lilyanna in her bare feet and winter coat.😆
We are hunkering down here in northern Wisconsin for an incoming blizzard.❄️💨☃️ I’d take your weather over ours any day of the week at this time of the year!
Thank you for the quick shot of the kitties doing their thing... And Buggy yelling "GROW" just makes my day!!
Bye buggy. You are adorable.
Great video I love Daddies taking up time with there children tyfs hugs
Prevent mold in the bucket with sulphur dusting the seeds/acorns. It works with planting potatoes too, my grampa did that.
Cilantro Is like dill. Seed it every two weeks and keep going. Harvest as much as you can when you can or it’ll bolt.
Love you all. Great job
Buggy, when your older n see these videos with your sometimes bed hair, I'm sure the only finger to point at is yourself! Lol. Little miss independent! ❤️
I have the tallow “chore” this weekend. I only have 25 lbs worth of suet but I’m dividing it in half and will do the other later. More manageable for me.
I've been growing cilantro in a little mini-hoop house in containers.. Try growing it in your hoop house this winter.....I live east of Raleigh.. it grows great this time of year in NC....
Love watching you work with your future farmer Miss buggy. She certainly has enthusiasm at for least being a cheerleader.
You are such good parents. You complement each other as a family. Such a blessing. I love the Shop Talk, Ben. You guys do a great job. Very interesting.
Congratulations on the news of the baby. I’m so happy for all of you. Excited to know the gender, and name . Happy New year’s 🎉, and happy to hear the news . ❤ to all of you.
Watching buggys bare foots knowing you probably tried to get shoes on her 😂
And extend the barn and make a rootcellar at the same time 😏😏
You all are such sweet people.
Active in the Garden. Just noticed at your dinner at the end and based on your recent announcement, y'all might need a bigger table.
You can use egg yolks to tan it you also have to scrape the rest of the fat from the inside before painting on the yolks with a brush
your podcast is brilliant very very enjoyable. best I have seen. the three work great together.
Becky from Acre homestead has better luck growing cilantro in the cool weather and then she freeze dries it and it retains it flavor and color unlike dehydrated
You guys should look into aquaponics. I love it and you can make a system out of an ibc tote. Basically endless veggies especially salad greens
I hope y’all made it through the rain storm unscathed. We had a lot of flooding over near Charlotte.
