This was incredibly clear and not full of nonsense or fluff. Excellent presentation.
Thanks so much! That was the goal of it. I’ve been trying to do more of these type of videos because a lot of what’s on UA-cam today is all fluff and entertainment. I wanted to get straight to the meat and taters!
This was a perfect video! Thinking of mini-homesteading after retirement on 8 acres with other family members. Will start slowly but your drawing exactly what we have even the creek and all except for the North/south direction. I just found your channel so will have to binge watch but I am hoping you have videos on how to put all this into action. For instance starting a garden, checking for soil etc. then how to plant fruit trees, starting a chicken coop. My other relatives raise beef on the other side of our property just like you have it drawn!! Our family side will do the other half of your drawing. Thanks for sharing this so much!!! So so gets the juices flowing on planning this all out!!!
So happy to hear this! I do have a good amount of videos on different things and continually adding to it! Let me know how I can help!
Great video, i start my journey in a few years when i buy land. Definitely will be from scratch, thank you for helping me out with realistic thinking.
Thanks, good luck with your homestead!
I am on a little over 5 acres, very informative video, thank you ☺️
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for commenting!!
Great info.
Really enjoy your videos man.👍
Thank you so much! Glad you like them!
My sister and I are looking to buy 5 acres for a homestead and this is SO helpful! We're out in the desert, so won't have a forest or a pasture (maybe a small one), but still a very valuable resource. Thank you!!
I’m so glad this was helpful!! Thanks for commenting!
I dont currently live on a homestead. I knew everything already, buuuut this was really helpful allllll in one video and something i can show my wife!
My wife and I are apartment homesteaders, we use walmart plants for a veg garden, we have a mini rex for fertilizer for the garden. A counter herb garden that grows greens for bunny food and some salad scraps they can have too. we also grow everbearing strawberries, cucumbers and cherry tomatoes from walmart for salads all summer long. we do all this with a cattle panel by a bright window inside, or some times on a porch. just make sure there is something under to catch the water like a plate or old pie pan/feed tray. (if you have dogs dont get tomatoes the stalks are toxic unless you can do it in a separate room or porch.)
@@VampireCatLegacy ok ok ok. I am an urban homesteader. I a veg garden, herb garden, chickens, bees. On a 1/8 acre
Glad it was helpful!!! Thanks for commenting! If I can help in any way just reach out!
@@tannerfarmstead would love to know more about homestead exemption and how much it actually lowers your taxes.
I just found this channel. Do you come out to others homestead and help for the ones who learn hands on? If not, you should look into it as it will add extra income stream and build relationships with other prospective businesses. You are very knowledgeable and work speaks for itself.
Thank you man, everything can seem overwhelming but this is perfect for figuring out how to put a plan together
So glad it’s helpful!
Excellent presentation. Tons of great information. However, may I suggest cover crops in a few paddocks that can allow pastured pigs. Rotate daily and the pigs will he happy, your feed cost are greatly reduced and the soil improves. Also I would Strongly suggest to place the garden away from the chickens in case you want to free range the chickens. Pigs and goats are great at clearing underbrush. Pasturing them in the woods is a plus. Lastly, why a cow or two? Do they generate income? What are their benefits?
Thank you!! Pigs are another option, but I mainly leaned towards the ruminants since they don’t require any/very little grain input. When I placed the chickens there it was in permanent coop and chicken run, but yes if you want to free range the garden would need fencing to keep the chickens out. Or folks can do the mobile chicken coop like I was mentioning. Thanks for all your comments and feedback on some of my videos! I appreciate it!
We are looking at starting a homestead from scratch so this is perfect. Unfortunately we’re starting from conventional farmland so will be very poor soil and no timber. Hoping to get a cover crop down before winter so we can do a green manure next year but not sure if we have enough time for that.
Also deciding if we want to do 5 acres or closer to 10. Definitely don’t need 10 to start because we want to take it slow like you said but want to have plenty of space down for everything we might want down the road with cows being the largest. We’re pretty dry where we are so I think having a larger pasture area would be best.
find a cow farmer nearby ask if you can haul off some cowshit, sometime you can get some for free.
@@colebesaw5225 i recomend 1cow = 1 acre
What happened to your podcast? I really enjoyed it
I haven’t had the time to do it without neglecting my normal UA-cam videos. So for now it’s on the back burner
Its ok . Respect for you. Keep up the great work .
Would you have rabbits just for compost ... Like how many chickens and rabbits would create enough compost for the garden?
Rabbits are another great one for meat. I didn’t talk about composting in this but you could make a good amount of compost with the laying hen flock
@@tannerfarmstead we use rabbits for compost cause they are cold compost unlike chickens. saves space cause you don't need to season it.
We do, its a cold compost so it does not need to be composted if you don't want to (the poo anyway, i'd dilute the urine if you use it) we use minirex as they are considered indoor pets and we are apartment homesteaders atm. so we cant have chickens.
Great vid, earned a sub from me.
