It's wonderful to have a new video update from you. I think I've digested everything possible from the last two. I can't believe how quickly those sweet little black and gold chicks grew into such robust and healthy, egg-laying Australorps! And the little piglets aren't little anymore. Everything flourishes on your homestead. I think the secret ingredient is love and you have that in abundance... love for what you're doing, love for what you're growing, love for each other. It's great fun to watch. Thank you!
Excited to watch your lovely Homestead Blossom throughout 2020, You're Off to a Great Start from where you began. Been enjoying how Resourceful you are of utilizing what you've got from scrap piles and turning one mans trash into treasures
You have been missed by many, including myself! Glad y’all had great down time with the family. Y’all really deserved it. So glad to see you back. Great job clearing out that area. There’s just no telling what else y’all will find. Kinda like a treasure hunt every day. Can’t wait to follow along on your continuing adventure. Love & Hugs from Vicki in Ft. Worth, Texas 🇨🇱🇺🇸👍❤️
Well done for taking it slow. You chose this life to be mindfull about food, time, dirt, rest, etc. And here you are doing it. This is your life, and you are SO justified in doing it your way, so don't sound so appologetic about it. You do not have to run at a Justin Rhodes pace to do it. Just live each day, your way. This is IT. Can you feel it? 😀 Happy new year to all of you, with lots of mindfull moments
Glad you’ve had a chilled Christmas and New Year guys. Love that you’ve just been with each other and enjoying each other’s company and doing things you want to be doing. Loving the piglets!! 😃🐖🐖🐖 Big live and enjoy the land as the season changes 🌥
It's not "usually" anymore, Ben - It's "used to be" - about your work schedule. Words mean a lot. For your timing and calendar - there are several options, and I like "planner pads" too. Meg is great on the 'puter, so maybe some Excel spreadsheets? Journal everything to find out how your farmstead works. It will take about 3-5 years till you "know" your schedule. Enjoy the journey, friends. Happy new year!
We found a huge amount of scrap and trash on our property, gradually worked through it, chipping away and stashed the cash to buy new fence posts and wire. Yay eggs for new year. Good to see you well rested after your break .
So happy to hear that you all took a long break. All I could think about while watching your video is the 23rd Psalm. "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul;... You prepare a table before me...you anoint my head with oil. *My cup runs over.* Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." God bless you Meg, Ben and the boys. Always. Sending love and New Year's greetings from Italy.
Like so many of your viewers, we are here for you when you post a video. So glad you and the family enjoyed some down time. Here is to a wonderful 2020
Good to see you guys again and what has been going on at my favorite Homestead!!! And I know Meg has been super busy with the soap, but it's great to see her big beautiful smile again! May 2020 bring your family much happiness, health and prosperity!!!
So glad you have been taking care of yourselves, you are doing amazing job! And staying debt free at that congratulations! And we will be here when you are ready I so enjoy your personalities!
Glad y'all took a well deserved break and had a great Holiday Season! Fine job on the clearing, Ben! Big potential, especially with that water! Good to have you back!
We’ve missed you but I’m glad you took some much deserved fam time. I understand completely. My hubby got a new job this year which allowed him to have 2 weeks off for the holidays also. What a blessing 💜
Welcome back and a huge Happy New Year to you too. Glad you took the time to just chill and recharge, everybody needs to do that to get through life. Now just take it slow and steady. That's your permanent home and roots, one day at a time, you'll get there. 🥰 Do you know what, I missed you guys so much I went back today and rewatched some of your blogs, and it is STAGGERING how far you have come and what you have achieved already. So if you need any motivation to get started again, just look back at your first day there. The transformation is amazing ❤
Happy 🎇🎆2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣0️⃣🎆🎇 Hollar's Family! @Alpaca Made...Hollar Springs sound so cool. I loved the sound of the guys handmade water fall. I personally enjoy the sound of rain falling. I am going to figure out how to create that sound outside of my window. Glad you're checking back in kids. Much success at all you are doing and will find to do while making your beautiful property into your HOME.
I am so sooooooooooooo proud of the two of you. Wowwwwwwwwwww how much you have accomplished in such a short period of time AND you should be proud too!!! Look forward when you are able to give us another video!!! God bless
So nice to see y’all again. Hope you have truly been able to get good rest and refuel during your break. Don’t overdo it and burn yourselves out, slow and steady wins the race. ❤️❤️
So happy you two took some time for yourselves! I think UA-cam jobs will take everything you put into it and make you feel like you need to do more! You really need to schedule your work hours and be mindful of the hours you put into it. Your other businesses need your attention too as well as your faith, family and farm! Holy cats! No wonder you burn out happens! Please take care of yourselves! We love seeing you grow and prosper, but only if you are living it.
I'm glad you guys took the time you needed! You both have been so go go go, it's great to hear that you understand the value of a little R&R. Love your channel no matter the frequency of posts. P.S. I ordered some of your lip balm and lotion, love it!
Glad you got some family down time in! I have missed you guys! The piggies are so much bigger! Love the cleared land and the springs...the pigs are going to help out so much getting all that undergrowth cleared away. So happy you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. May 2020 be your best year yet! Hugs and prayers for good days and good things going your way.
So good to see a video from you guys. Glad you relaxed over the holidays and enjoyed the kids and family. I LOVE the little waterfall !! So relaxing. Great grazing area for the pigs in the shrubby area. It is great to find a fresh water spring on your land too. Precious stuff, fresh water! Happy New Year to you all .
Happy New Year to you all. You picked the best time of year to clear out areas of overgrowth. The property has so much potential. I look forward to what all you are going to plant in spring. Berry bushes, fruit trees and herbals. Hope you can make some good money selling soaps and such to afford more permanent fencing and dedicated areas. It is going to be a good year for you guys.
SO proud of you guys for not losing sight of why you started this journey in the first place. No need to explain - if you're fried, you need a break - TAKE IT! On our property we have a retaining wall. Our garden is at the top of that. All the vining plants we allow to vine down the hill along the cement retaining wall. It's great! The fruit doesn't sit in the dirt and rot. If the fruit gets too heavy we can support it with old pantyhose. Love the looks on people's faces the first time they see our garden with all the greenery vining down the wall to the point that you see very little of the cement. Virginia Clearbrook MN
Beautiful woodland area! If I were you, (although I’m an old Nana, three years away from my eightieth) I would never clear back to the edge of your property line! Although there may never be, there could be young teens or adults who would come into the woods. With so much undergrowth, they probably would never try it. I LOVE your property more all the time! I’m now watching your videos all again for a second time! I never get tired of them! I know your garden of summer 2022 will be big and bountiful! Get lots of rest! Go at your own pace! You guys are BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE, too! Love y’all!
Isn’t it great to have everyone’s company? This is the first Christmas in over 20 years that my husband has been home all day! He has been off for a long time and the family is getting to know each other again. He use to work 60-80 hours a week.
Happy New Year! Prayers for blessings throughout the year. We missed y’all. I get so tickled with my big, burly, 65 year old husband as he checks UA-cam every day hoping to find “his kids”. When he checked this evening he hollered, “Alright! My kids are back!” Face it kiddos, you’re loved!🤗❤️🙏
Happy New Year to you and your family! I LOVE your land...your farm! We had a small stream running through our property and I played in it when I was a child. When we had a lot of rain, it was a bit too swift for me. Your boys will love that water running through your woods! Don’t clear it out too great or your pigs might run into someone else’s property! Your land drains really well, yet it’s also great for planting. It’s nice and private there and you are all going to love it, so take your time...you can tackle projects one at a time! If it’s time to plant, do that and wait to do a project. Don’t wear yourselves out...enjoy it all as slowly as you can. I know that’s not always possible, but don’t burn yourselves out. You have beautiful property! I love the structures that were already there! You will eventually get them all repaired. You did a wonderful job on the place where you live. It’s better than before! 🌺
You guys are doing great! You’ve been doing so much work...chickens, pigs, soap, knives, reno, clearing, skirting, smoker...etc. I applaud you! I love watching and learning from you!
Good for you for taking a couple of weeks off. You deserve it! And only you can determine your work load and what you are up to. Little by little it will all get done!
Hiya Hollars so glad you enjoyed the holidays on your new homestead... The way I see it...its kinda the point of having one... You can live and work at your own pace. Those piggy's are so fat and absolutely adorable. 🎄🎁🎉🎇🎆
Glad you are taken time off for your family but glad to see you back as well. It is all looking good and reminds me of both of the houses we built after clearing 15 acres on the first one and 4 acres on where we live now. We just bought 10 acres last year that had 2 acres needing cleared which we just finished. Now we are trying to purchase the adjoining 14 acres to build a small cabin to start our homestead there. We have 37 chickens on the 10 acres now because we only live a mile away and ride a four wheeler back and forth several times a day. Lots of work but enjoy every bit of it because it keeps us outside enjoying what God gave us.
All the tears, hard work, quarrels and finally settling down, we're all worth it my friends. To hear and see how quiet, calm and cozy your holidays were.... You are rich beyond belief. So seriously happy that you have found your groov! As beauty is in the eye of he beholder, so is success! I admire you both! Fromm Ottawa, Canada😜
I’m so happy you took the time to slow down, turn off the camera and spend some time just enjoying each other. That’s the life you came here to live - sane, healthy, happy, together. We’re just very blessed that you’re taking all of us all along for the ride. May the Lord bless you all abundantly with love, health, wisdom and joy.
Oh how I've missed y'all!! Happy New Year - glad you got to just chill and do the together thing with the family. With the soap and the piggies and winter prep and holidays, I'll bet it was nice to take a breath. Very happy for you
On our land, woods with clearings on clay and rock, we move our herd of AGHs, 3 sows and 4-10 month old piglets, to a new 1/2 acre-ish every 3-7 days while the grass is growing. In winter we made an area that can take a beating with a thick layer of large mulch, we rented a massive CAT mulcher and attacked our cedar forest for 3 days, and they stay there once the grass goes dormant until it grows again. 👍👍👍👍 Homesteading is SO. AWESOME. 🙌🙌🙌🌟🔥
Kudzu has many uses, baskets, medicines, animal food, Honeybees love it, and goats love it! Love the creek, piglets CUTE, and the spring!! Send the spring water off to be tested! It may come from DEEP down in the earth! GOD bless
So glad you guys had a wonderful Christmas holiday. I am really really glad that you will now be making more videos, I have missed you guys. Thanks for sharing with us.
Please do not apologize or explain about taking breaks. You do not owe ANY of us a reason for your absence. I checked for new videos over the holidays and knew that your family was simply being together. No worries. Your family always comes first.
Nice to see The Holler Homestead back on line again. Happy New Year, I wish you and your family a healthy, blessed, prosperous year for 2020. I am glad you took time off and shared it with your children and relaxed, your bodies and mind needed it. Those little piggies have certainly grown. Have a lovely day and chill out. Take your time and video when you feel like it, and enjoy each day. Till the next time, cheers for now.
Good to see you back! I checked this morning for a video and there was nothing. A couple hours later, bam. You guys deserved some time off to just be. ❤️
I remember when we were young with three school age children and didn't have a whole lot of money and deep in debt, we went to the thrift store, and each of us (including the parents) were given $10 to spend on each other. It was the best time, trying to hide and get presents safely to the car. We all still remember it as the best Christmas ever. (Our children are in their 30's and 40's.) :-)
So happy to see y'all again. I am glad you all had a peaceful and enjoyable Christmas. Happy new year's Hollars!!! I pray our Lord blesses you abundantly in every way this year. It's gonna be a good one.
I will say I've missed your vlogs. I'm glad you took the time to rest though. I feel your pain about the trash. I have a small half acre in rural Virginia. The people never had garbage service and I have been digging out old, badly managed burn piles for the last year. About 15 pickup loads of trash and scrap to the dump so far. There have been treasures along the way though, so I am getting something out of it as well. Thank you for the inspiration to do this! It's never too late...I'm 57!
Happy New Year You Beautiful hard working people. Mental health days doing not much is a cooling cycle for the brain. You start playing in water and rocks the time goes by like a clock running on 220 volts. When you work at a job I think they run clocks on 12 volts, lol Enjoy Life !!
So missed your smiling faces, glad to see you back and well-rested. I hope 2020 will be a wonderful year for your family. I am also thinking that the sooner you get into the finished mobile home and out of the small trailer you will feel like your world is right again and all the veggies you will have to cook with, in the new kitchen I see great meals coming out of there I will be right over for dinner.
It's wonderful to have a new video update from you. I think I've digested everything possible from the last two. I can't believe how quickly those sweet little black and gold chicks grew into such robust and healthy, egg-laying Australorps! And the little piglets aren't little anymore. Everything flourishes on your homestead. I think the secret ingredient is love and you have that in abundance... love for what you're doing, love for what you're growing, love for each other. It's great fun to watch. Thank you!
Great Springs. My grandfather alway said” if a man has water in his land he is rich”. I am learning that now. Peace out from Tennessee!!!!
Look at the lil babies! You deserve the break, what a year! I have enjoyed watching your journey. Such amazing accomplishments you should be proud!
Excited to watch your lovely Homestead Blossom throughout 2020, You're Off to a Great Start from where you began. Been enjoying how Resourceful you are of utilizing what you've got from scrap piles and turning one mans trash into treasures
So happy to see you again. Keep taking care of yourselves... we'll wait. Your property is beautiful.
75.9k CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I'm so happy for you. Happy New Year, Rock On !

You did exactly the right thing for YOU! Exciting to hear plans for the future garden and everything.
Glad you’ve had a chilled Christmas and New Year guys. Love that you’ve just been with each other and enjoying each other’s company and doing things you want to be doing. Loving the piglets!! 😃🐖🐖🐖 Big live and enjoy the land as the season changes 🌥
Always good to see your lovely faces! So glad you had a wonderful break! Forest looks awesome!
Glad you got to enjoy the family over the holidays.
How exciting!?!?!? Keep it up guys! Your homestead is going to be awesome!
It's not "usually" anymore, Ben - It's "used to be" - about your work schedule. Words mean a lot.

Happy New Year! Glad you took the time for family and rest. It helps with the work load you have to do this year.
Tree house for boys on all that cool land you have! So fun to see you guys so blessed!
You guys are doing awesome! Rest when you know you need it. And thank you for sharing your journey :)
Missed your videos but so happy for you that you spent the holidays as a family.
So happy to hear that you all took a long break. All I could think about while watching your video is the 23rd Psalm. "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

You guys are amazing after being on the road as long as ya'all have been. Proud of and for you.

Slow and steady beats rush and burn every time. Happy New Years.
Love your family dynamics, and your lovely property. ❤

I'm glad you guys took the time you needed! You both have been so go go go, it's great to hear that you understand the value of a little R&R. Love your channel no matter the frequency of posts.
P.S. I ordered some of your lip balm and lotion, love it!
You all certainly deserved the rest but I did miss you.😟. I am so excited to see what happens next!

Glad you found your rhythm . Probably one of the biggest and most useful gifts of 2019. Cherish it. Peace to all the Hollar folks and critters.
So excited for you all ❤️💕❤️💕
Glad you had a good holiday and rest, but I have been missing you guys and wondering what you have been doing.
OMW! The piglets are soooo cute!!!
Beautiful woodland area! If I were you, (although I’m an old Nana, three years away from my eightieth) I would never clear back to the edge of your property line!

yall need an outdoor kitchen for canning , etc in the summer
Isn’t it great to have everyone’s company? This is the first Christmas in over 20 years that my husband has been home all day! He has been off for a long time and the family is getting to know each other again. He use to work 60-80 hours a week.
It is looking good with all your hard work!!! You absolutely needed to take time off, no complaints from me for taking a breather!!
Happy New Year! Prayers for blessings throughout the year. We missed y’all. I get so tickled with my big, burly, 65 year old husband as he checks UA-cam every day hoping to find “his kids”. When he checked this evening he hollered, “Alright! My kids are back!”
Face it kiddos, you’re loved!🤗❤️🙏
Having fresh water on your property...what a blessing! God is so good.

Good for you for taking a couple of weeks off. You deserve it! And only you can determine your work load and what you are up to. Little by little it will all get done!
Don't worry about your viewers; we'll be here when you post. HAPPY NEW YEAR! : )
You guys look so refreshed. Meg, your voice for the chickens was hilarious!
Hiya Hollars so glad you enjoyed the holidays on your new homestead... The way I see it...its kinda the point of having one... You can live and work at your own pace. Those piggy's are so fat and absolutely adorable. 🎄🎁🎉🎇🎆
Love the look of the cleared land and the piggies are adorable!
I think Hollar Springs would be a good name for your farm. Good to see y'all back.

Pig Dude...your babies are growing...Happy New Year and may your future always be Solid and Family Centered...hug those piggy babies for me!!!
Nice to have you back. Thanks for sharing your adventure. Keep up the good work.
Oh how I've missed y'all!! Happy New Year - glad you got to just chill and do the together thing with the family. With the soap and the piggies and winter prep and holidays, I'll bet it was nice to take a breath. Very happy for you
Oooh! Another drone vid to document the birds eye view of all the progress you've made!!
So nice to SEE you both again! Please REST as long as you NEED to. Winter is for resting, renewing and restoring. 💙
Those black chickens are hugh. Great to see you again. Always take care of you. Happy New Years to you.
(Comments by mom) hey that's what we had for the New Years ....pizza and movies! Happy New year!✨❤️🙏🏻
On our land, woods with clearings on clay and rock, we move our herd of AGHs, 3 sows and 4-10 month old piglets, to a new 1/2 acre-ish every 3-7 days while the grass is growing.

Slowing down is good. That is why God made winter!
❤🙏❤🙏❤
Totally agree! I always say that too!
Only here on NC eastern our winter has been bout 55 to 75 degrees this year. Yea!!! Give me 60 to 70 all year long and a happy camper weatherwise.
So glad you guys had a wonderful Christmas holiday. I am really really glad that you will now be making more videos, I have missed you guys. Thanks for sharing with us.
Please do not apologize or explain about taking breaks. You do not owe ANY of us a reason for your absence. I checked for new videos over the holidays and knew that your family was simply being together. No worries. Your family always comes first.
A belated Happy New Year to you all - so glad you've taken the time to chill at last :)
Yay for the extra land - and springs - too! :)
Yard work is relaxation for me too. Still running the mower mulching leaf's.
We are so glad to see a new post. We have missed you guys!
One thing I would suggest that would make your life easier would be a 5 hp tiller. Good to have you guys back after a break.
They are getting so big!
You guys are great!! So glad you are getting rested!! Appreciate the fact that you are giving yourself permission to rest!! Love you all!!💜😃
Nice to see The Holler Homestead back on line again. Happy New Year, I wish you and your family a healthy, blessed, prosperous year for 2020. I am glad you took time off and shared it with your children and relaxed, your bodies and mind needed it. Those little piggies have certainly grown. Have a lovely day and chill out. Take your time and video when you feel like it, and enjoy each day. Till the next time, cheers for now.
Nice beginning for the new year. Planning is really important. Thank you for all your sharing.
Good to see you back! I checked this morning for a video and there was nothing. A couple hours later, bam. You guys deserved some time off to just be. ❤️
I remember when we were young with three school age children and didn't have a whole lot of money and deep in debt, we went to the thrift store, and each of us (including the parents) were given $10 to spend on each other. It was the best time, trying to hide and get presents safely to the car. We all still remember it as the best Christmas ever. (Our children are in their 30's and 40's.) :-)
Happy New Year ! So glad to see your beautiful faces.
So happy to see y'all again.
I am glad you all had a peaceful and enjoyable Christmas.
Happy new year's Hollars!!! I pray our Lord blesses you abundantly in every way this year. It's gonna be a good one.
I will say I've missed your vlogs. I'm glad you took the time to rest though.
I feel your pain about the trash. I have a small half acre in rural Virginia. The people never had garbage service and I have been digging out old, badly managed burn piles for the last year. About 15 pickup loads of trash and scrap to the dump so far. There have been treasures along the way though, so I am getting something out of it as well. Thank you for the inspiration to do this! It's never too late...I'm 57!
Happy New Year You Beautiful hard working people. Mental health days doing not much is a cooling cycle for the brain. You start playing in water and rocks the time goes by like a clock running on 220 volts. When you work at a job I think they run clocks on 12 volts, lol Enjoy Life !!
Pigs & Piglets looking happy & healthy Happy New Year 🎩🧣🥂🍾🎭2020
Glad to hear you took the time to enjoy the holidays with your family. Hope you have an amazing year.
Happy ya'll are back. Even happier that ya'll took a break and are feeling better.
So glad you guys took some down time... it's so good for you... best Christmas gift you could give each other & your boys Happy New Year
So proud of you for RESTING when you needed. Missed you though! Glad you are back. Happy New Year!
Glad you feel better.. looking forward to what you do this Year..
You're making steady progress. The homestead is looking good. Pray all your dreams will come true in 2020.
So missed your smiling faces, glad to see you back and well-rested. I hope 2020 will be a wonderful year for your family. I am also thinking that the sooner you get into the finished mobile home and out of the small trailer you will feel like your world is right again and all the veggies you will have to cook with, in the new kitchen I see great meals coming out of there I will be right over for dinner.
