🏡 Meet Drew & Stephanie, who've lived in a 300 sqft tiny house for the last 6 years & are now debt-free! They successfully got a zoning variance to live legally on their own land in Pennsylvania, a 1/8 acre residential lot. Self-taught farmer Drew has turned into an exceptionally bountiful micro farm, called Once Upon a Tiny Farm. After growing their family with 2 little ones, they're finishing out a small barn home as an extension of their tiny home on wheels.

@tinyhouseexpedition!! How much is a 9x30 tiny home at the base price??
Native Americans called squash, beans, and corn the three sisters because of how they could be planted together.
Thanks for sharing 😊
SO TRUE
Yep, the FNP did say that
Yep these squash works as a mulch/ground over to help the corn and beans grow, the corn works as a trellis for the beans to grow up, and the beans help pull nutrients for the corn and squash. A whole synergistic cycle
3 sisters is what the white man knows basically it is 7 sisters! 😊
This tiny farm is so inspiring! What an enterprising couple and such wise parents understanding the importance of healthy eating. It will serve them well over their lifetime. Fast food and processed food is making people so sick. I just lost my 45 year olde son to pancreatic cancer due to his family’s poor eating habits. He left an 8 year old and a 10 year old who were sure their Daddy hung the moon, the sun, and all the stars. His dad and I will never stop grieving either. Eat well, be healthy and you will be happy. Do whatever it takes like this family does. The earth will feed you well if you let it! They are wise beyond their years and I applaud them!
Steph is one of my very best friends and I love watching her and her family's journey!!! ❤️ Steph & Drew, you guys are doing amazing and this was a lovely telling of your story!
Ahh that’s so great! 💕 And thank you for the kind feedback; we had a great time putting this episode together. Inspiring folks!
You have a nice home, I can't wait to see your finished red barn home completed. Your a beautiful couple. May God keep you both and bless you in Jesus name.
Very interesting! Would like to see an update, if possible, once they have barn complete!
We would love to do that!
After watching this video now I feel motivated to finish working on the barn too!
@@onceuponatinyfarm You guys are so impressive -- the way you use the land and the space within the house is so smart, practical and relatable. The barn looks like it's going to be a wonderful home and it will feel so spacious to you!
When you clean the tin in the shower area. Take car wax and wax the tin, let it haze up lke on a car and buff it off and repeat this about every 6 months and it will be easy just to take a towel and dry it off. The water and soap will bead up and run off and quickly become dry.
Thanks for the great tips!
This couple could teach Americans a few things! HIGH FIVE on having realistic expectations, caring more about family than things and achieving that.
💯 They made their own American dream
come true!
What a beautiful family! Living tiny is the way to go- and look at what you have done with all the extra space on your property for a AWESOME garden! 😊
Thanks for watching Elisa! It’s amazing how much they’ve able to grow on their lil slice of heaven 💚❤️
That sink above the toilet🚽🚿 is one of the most unique features I have ever seen in any home- very cool!🙌🏻
Such a fantastic use of space & water!
i have to say sometimes i watch your promotional commercials just because christian is so funny. good job, ya'll!
Ahh thank you very much! We always enjoy being goofy 🤪 😄
What a cool story! Great they have no debt and one parent is able to stay home and farm!
A real dream come true for many American families!
Great little family! Beautiful future plans and an honest look at tiny farming!💜
Another fabulous video!!
Thank you kindly! It's a real joy to show just a wonderfully down-to-earth family making their own American dream come true ☺️
Beautiful fabulous just add home schooling and your kids are set for life. Grounded, Loved and balanced sense of self awareness enjoy
It's so refreshing to see a family with young children living in a tiny house! So many videos of these homes have only, at most, 2 people living in them. Great job!
I w aqua t to see the finish$ shed. Ilove that they grow food and teach others.
Wow, you two are awesome people. I love the way your husband shared his gardening with us. Your tiny house is nice but good idea folks with the red barn.
The farm is so beautiful, & the barn-style tiny house will be as lovely inside as it is outside. I hope we get to see it when it's done. Thank you.
We hope to return to film a tour when they finish it 😊💚
@@TinyHouseExpedition Super. Thank you for considering it in your plans.
im so inspired after watching this...life is so simple
💗✨
I'm so impressed with you guys love your place ❤️
Lucky children!
Beautiful garden! Well done!
Maybe make a few “chicken tunnels “ so they have a bit more room?
Great point! They do actually have one and working on expanding it
BEAUTIFUL,Home and family.Blessings.
What a wonderful tiny home design and an adorable family! Very livable you will make great memories there! Loved this.
Beautiful
Awesome family! It gives me hope that I too can one day will buy land and have a tiny humble home. Thank you for the video! Awesome garden.
Hope you do! 😊
I was thinking…lol…’cause I do that…. It w/b interesting to connect the house and the bar and then have all that space. When both of the kids are older they are going to each need their own bedroom.
They could be connected and then paint the tiny to ‘match’ the barn.
Glad your pipes are heated now. It’s good to have water & it’s even better when they don’t burst. 😮
Really dig that idea!! 😃
What about mom dad time the kids need there own space and privacy
@@mariamoshogianni7008 they’re working on their small barn home now which will provide more space for everybody
Good Morning "Happy Sunday" This Family has Their Life Planned out Perfect for Them. Having Their own land and Beautiful Home. Doing what They need to do for a Awesome Life. Thanks for Sharing Enjoyed and Blessings 🙏❤️🥰😇 From Pennsylvania,USA
Happy Sunday! 💕✨
I'm at Tiny Estates and had no idea you could live tiny like this! I evn put off watching this because I assumed the microfarm was in Colorado or Utah...
It’s great seeing this on the east coast, especially because they’re right in town!
Love the sink in bathroom
Really a cool feature-love the reuse of water!
Corn to support vertical beans while squash spread to cover ground preserving water.
Beautiful home.
Hi Drew, so impressive. No doubt there was a learning curve but looks like you have mastered it. Beautiful family, wishing you the best. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Donna!
I really liked this video. It feels a lot more like my own tiny house!
Very cool! Whereabouts do you live? Please let us know if might be interested in filming with us 😊 tinyhouseexpedition.com/get-featured/
Yay A Christian AD! That's too cool watching you rise above the daily tasks! Great Video- I like his plans with the gardens! Shivering black bell thumbs up!
😂we love to get silly!
You have a lovely family❤
They would be so cute in black
The house is nice a little organization is much needed!
one of my favorite videos about living tiny
Ahh love to hear that! They’re such an inspirational family 💖
One should be kitchen and class ect the others just rooms ! You can do so much !
I loved this. Very informative, honest and interesting!
Beautiful family ❤

Looks gorgeous home.
Thanks Guys 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Our pleasure!
Super cool!
Thanks for watching! ✨
Becareful with those heaters. We had them in our last house, and one caught on fire. Good thing we were home. We sold the place with the remaining ones in it, and the new owners had one catch on fire and good thing they were home. The company was pretty new then and terrible with customer service.
Funny you mention that, a few years ago one of ours started smoking and we freaked out. It turned out our daughter was randomly dropping q tips into the heater and that’s why they were smoking!
OMG 😳 😅
@@onceuponatinyfarm oh wow! Ours was a wire issues. Not sure what the owners that bought from us were. I think she was mad I didn’t mention it. Well I didn’t think of it.
@@Fairies00 we do notice sometimes after we turn it on for the first time in a while there’s a burning smell, but it usually goes away. It’s probably just dust and things that get down there, so we started covering the top of the heater with masking tape over the warmer months when we aren’t using it to limit the amount of dust particles that could get inside.
@@onceuponatinyfarm Ours was wires. Just wanted to warn. We were lucky we were home. Ours were pretty new. I believed in them too. Great idea. Just beware.
What’s your name uhhhhhh 🤣 I love it 🤣
Lil goober 😂
Lovely video!
Thank you kindly!
Its so nice to see a family living WITHIN their means for a change and what an amazing little plot/tiny farm you have. And debt free too, not many people can say that. If more councils/shires or whatever would loosen up and give folk permission to build smaller homes or tiny homes it would be a much nicer society..dont you think??? Why should people be made to live in debt to keep bureaucrats happy? Well done guys, and your kids look so happy too. One thing that worries me though was your 'berkie - burkie' sorry dont know that term, but it looks like a hot water urn, please watch your adventurous 2 yr old with that tap, having suffered burns as a child I would hate to think he could turn that tap on his face.
Excellent points! Fortunately the Berkey water filter is just cold water 😁😊
Oh Im so glad of that...could still make a heck of a mess though if he figures out what pulling on that little tap does... :) @@TinyHouseExpedition
@@jennyc1846 😂 true
Thats the ideal living
BRILLIANT, UK
You don’t pull up the potatoes until the vines die.Yours would have been bigger if you had left them to grow.Enjoyed your video.
I do know that! I just thought it would be a cool thing to film for the video lol thanks for watching
Thanks for doing that for us! 😊
Is the barn adding to or replacing? It could be used for bedrooms but I can't see it replacing it or maybe my eyes see it smaller than it is. I think they are a very nice family and he learned a lot along the way.
It’s adding to 😄✨
Our barn is 12x20 and with 2 floors it’s close to 500 square feet which basically doubles the size of our tiny house. The extra width makes all the difference 👍
Which those of you that can cook three full meals a day for a family of four congratulations for I have cooked for years not only for my family but for others as well that would drop in. I must have some sort of oven while we're in the South Cook bread at every meal biscuit or cornbread sometimes both. I also require cabinets. For I like my dishes protected from the environment. For me it's cleaner to have your dishes behind protective Maine's
I need to find land in that area I’m from NYC and I want to go tiny.
I work third shift also. You didn't work at Walmart did you? It should be called the first shift.
Loved your place. Very inspiring. Will be following the garden on you tube too. You need a sofa. The adults have no where to sit together.
They had a couch but recently removed it to have more floor space for their kids to play downstairs. But a couch will definitely possible in the small barn home they’re building now! 😊
Our kids actually broke our couch about a week before they hey came to film us lol. Apparently our couch wasn’t supposed to be treated like a trampoline. 😂 The chair in the video was the chaise part of the couch that still worked fine and we actually store all of our clothing in it, it opens up for storage. We have a brand new couch for our barn that we’re excited to use.
@@onceuponatinyfarm what?! 😂
👍
Appreciate you watching 😊
Whatever works.
Indeed 😉
Where did you get the tiny home? Can you tell us about it?
We bought it from Scott Stewart from Slabtown Customs in Arkansas. We had a very bad experience with this builder that we could’ve spoken more about but we chose not to because I don’t like to focus on negativity like that. I don’t think he makes tiny homes anymore, and we looked into him a few months ago and saw that the Arkansas state attorney general was forcing him to pay back money to other tiny home buyers that gave him down payments and apparently never received a finished home. So we’re lucky we actually received ours because our story would have been very different otherwise.
What State are you located??
The description says Pennsylvania!
💝💖👏🤗😍😍😍🤗👏💖💝
You personal Feeling share with us Lovely Woodplan
its ok but you and your husband need your own room as does your children need their own rooms ! Just too small for the 4 of you ! Way too small !
That’s why they’re working on the bigger barn home next door 🙃😄
It just infuriates me that you can “own” your own property and the city/county asshats can tell you what you can or cannot build. FO. Don’t tell me what square footage I can or cannot build!!!! 😡
I can see why the Murphy bed wouldn’t work you would have to make something very sturdy for the woman to lay on as big as she is . Wow now he is a stay at home bum
Bless your heart.
What a nasty, insensitive being you are.
A hot mess they will soon move,bc the wife will get bigger than the house
Well, that's quite the assumption. 🙃 In the video, they share how they're finishing out a small barn home next to their tiny house to better meet their growing family's needs
That’s a very gross thing to say. You could have just… not.
You are mean😢
@@lindiwemalaza1438 says more about the person than the couple sadly. A very real home, not like most that look like "models" and not lived in
Very rude
Sorry but that's way too small for 4 people. Its almost too small for 2 people. Hopefully they get their barn home finished soon
