Watching little Mini-Meg talking and scurrying around the farm, it occurred to me that she is being raised in the best environment she could ask for. Reminds me of times past ❤ God Bless you Hollar Homestead 😊
That shot of Ben and Buggy walking hand in hand in the woods is magical ✨️ 👍 Brett your a 🌟 I would give you a job gardening with me if you were in England. Much love and respect to you all
Love it when we can hear one or more of the boys laughing in the background! Cross-generation humor is the best when it involves teens who can acknowledge that their parents are funny.
I'm surprised Harvest Right hasn't collaborated with you on a freeze dryer. Of all the channels who i watch that have one, you and living traditions homestead are the ones who grow or raise the the most food from their homesteads. It may be a space issue for y'all. I've seen a few comments from people about Lillianna's hair from people. All the pictures I have of my daughter, she has the same unruly hair. Yes, I brushed it as I'm sure you do hers. My daughter hated having her hair "tamed" by ponytails. Keep being true to yourselves. You are giving all your children a loving, magical childhood.
OMG! If you could please recreate the Mexican Pizza and make a recipe, I would be ever so so so so grateful. When my little sister and I used to visit my mom during the summers in Jackson CA, as a kid, she would have us walk though town collecting tin cans, when we had enough, we would cash them in at the recycling center and have enough money to go to the Taco Bell next door for dinner. The Mexican Pizza was our favorite and 2 of them would feed the three of us with some left over. I spent most of my life resenting my mom and her choices, the lack of mothering we received from her was not ideal, however, since she passed 2 years ago from a 6 year battle with cancer, every time I pass a Taco Bell (we don't eat there) I hardcore, crave a Mexican Pizza. I don't even know if they make the any more, it's been 10 years or more since I have eaten Taco Bell. Yet, the memory remains!
Sister was obviously talking to me. 🐈😼😻 It's been a long while since we got to go along on chores, it was a bucolic idyll, the likes of which Norman Rockwell would have painted. The image of father tall, lean, and strapping, hand in hand with his flaxen-haired half-pint daughter, through the arch of trees, feed bucket in the other hand was perfection.
I love your stand of onions. We've had them for generations. The bulbs are delicious. We always cooked them with a roast of beef or lamb and with hams. They're great cut up in salad. Actually they're just like eating scallions. So worth having.
Here in Canada they’re called Egyptian walking onions or just walking onions. I’ve got to move mine to a healthier spot because they’re struggling in poor soil.
I make the best taco bell beans. Cook dry pinto beans or Peruvian beans first . In a large cast iron skillet, warm up a decent amount of bacon fat. Add and sauté finely diced onions and then finely diced garlic last. Then add a little chili powder and cumin. Add the beans with very little liquid and mash as they re-fry. Gradually add the bean juice after mashing. Add more bean juice than you think that you need. Make them creamy, not thick. Taste for salt.
That was the sweetest seeing Ben and Buggy walking to the pigs and back. She loves her daddy! And those tacos looked so yummy along with all of your awesome tomatoes. Never heard of walking onions until you guys talked about them and wow how prolific!!! 💖
I can attest to how incredibly hardy the Egyptian Walking Onions are. A friend gave me three plants that were rooted and told me to put them in a jar in some water for a few hours and then put them out in the garden. Well, a few hours turned into a few weeks lol. They were just barely green and the bottoms were slimy, but I knew they were crazy tough so I still went and put them in the garden. They looked like they died completely back over the next couple of weeks, and I thought about pulling them a couple of times but each time I decided to give them a little longer. Sure enough, a few weeks later beautiful green tops sprouted and although they haven't multiplied yet, they're going strong!
“Sister” reminds me of how I use to follow my Daddy around. I even tried staying in his footsteps, but didn’t quite have his stride. She will treasure these times when she’s older!
A tried and true method of having garden tomatoes for Christmas. Before your first frost harvest green tomatoes, wrap in newspaper, place in a cardboard box in a cool dry place and enjoy! We did this every autumn, my Mom was a tomato freak, she loved them so much. The kids did this on Grandpa’s farm. Make sure there is no blush on the tomatoes, they must be green. Ask me how I know. Be careful not to do more than 2 or 3 layers. This is a family tradition. ♥️👍🤓🍅
Meg is incredible. I’ve watched lots of your videos and it’s no wonder she’s still like a willow even after having lots of beautiful children and using lard to fry. The lady does not stop.
Little Buggy follows her Daddy everywhere he goes. That’s adorable. All those pigs are looking fat and sassy. Yalls tomatoes are coming in good and they look yummy
There is just a few things I need to accomplish EVERYDAY...one us watching your channel, Sow the Land then Justin Rhodes. Your family warms my heart! Hugs to ALL!!!
I guess I should watch the entire content before commenting. My family loves crunch wraps. We’ve made them at home for some time now. However, I recently saw an Allrecipes short video where they made a crunch wrap casserole style. I am so looking forward to giving it a try.
I have always loved "Seasonal Foods Gardening" which results in "Seasonal Food Eating" it is all to easy to rely on imported food from the store but it is not fresh or healthy. It's great that all the Family works together too, I wish that I had listened and learnt more from my parents (yes I can cook and do small DIY projects) but nothing like my parents did. I miss the Home cooking and Baking which I took for granted.
We've totally ruined pretty much all restaurants including bbq for ourselves. We did this same thing and actually learned the way to replicate Taco Bell ground beef is to add some quick oats to the beef... which is weird and hilarious, but it absolutely replicates it. Love the healthy fast food!
@@joannmahaffey1068I do that too. Use oats as a binder to hold it together as well as an egg or two depending how big I make it. And add fresh bell peppers all different colors to make it festive. My kids loved them when they were little. Cheese n ketchup on top. Yum. Making me want to make one now😊
I use oats, too. But no peppers, they don't like me. Yes, Taco Bell uses soy. My body gets violently ill from it. Haven't been able/willing to eat it for 20 years.
@@joannmahaffey1068 I always, always add regular oats to my meat loaf/meatball mix. I figure they add good fiber as well as being as gluten free as oats can be (not that we're gluten free, but in my mind it's healthier than breadcrumbs).
Sister has me actually laughing out loud “kitty cat!” Dinner looked so good!! My favorite at Taco Bell is the Gordita. I love the soft fluffy wrap. I just loved everything about this video!! Feeding the animals, perennial onions, hand forged swords, etc, etc. The only way it could have been better is if it was longer 🥰 Have a nice evening yall!
Very fun! I admire your skills Meg! Amazing cook! Beautiful family! Super great video Ben! I love seeing buggy n her crazy beautiful hair walking with papa! God bless your family! 💕
Love your channel. 🤗 I also enjoy reading the comments section. Your followers are awesome and I love how they share experiences and knowledge with each other. 👏👏
The walking onions are interesting. I've never seen them until y'all mentioned them several videos ago. Now that's a crunch wrap to enjoy!!! I think I'd have to throw a few green chiles on it😊 I'm pretty sure Meg's crunch wrap get a big thumbs up. 👍
Proud of you guys, mom & dad for doing what you’re doing to ensure your kids are healthy. My younger kids are 4.5 and 3 and they’ve never eaten fast food either 🙌🏻❤️
REALLY enjoyed this video!!! Seeing all of you playing, working, in the garden...It was Nice!! Meg's hair is getting so long! Hardly ever see her with it down anymore. All the kids are getting so big. Buggie following Dad around the farm always reminds me of my growing up on my grandparents farm. Great memories!!!!!! All the Blessings! Till next time!
I miss having walking onions, Mine were also a great gift from a dear friend. Lost all mine to a family member eating them all because he thought you ate the whole plant. lol So I never got to get any of the top sets in the spring to replant after I go moved tin to our new home. I not been able to find anyone close to were we live in Virginia who have any to share. We haven't eaten out in almost 5 years. Hubby had a triple bypass so that really put a stop to any fast food. Now I cook everything we eat. So much better for us that way. Blessing to your Family I have so loved watching your family on it's way to find a new and happier life.
I'm so amazed with all Meg cooks up from scratch. Today is the cheese sauce. Going to attempt a low carb version of that and the taco wraps. Oh, and the onions! On sale at the store this week. Not home grown but one of the few veggies I'll eat and consider those relatively safe (I hope!) Thanks, Hollars!!
Neat idea to use dehydrated tomatoes for tomato pie in winter. I wonder if using some canned tomato juice (that you can this summer), to rehydrate them instead of water, would help amp up the fresh flavor? Just a thought. I may need to try this! 😊
2 things... I am a Taco Bell addict. You are absolutely right, it tastes nothing like it used to. I am going to have to make my own Mexican Pizza... Number 2, I am so jealous of your waling onions!!!!!! I planted mine about 2 years ago, been through 2 South Florida "winters", and they still have yet to sprout bulbils... I think I am going to pull some up and put them in the fridge, and then back out to the garden. They are great for green onions, and they do spread without the little bulbils, But.... I have to get them going! Again, thanks so much for sharing your wonderful life with us!
We dont have the room to grow much but we do tomatoes, cukes, melons and grapes. This year we are prepping for garlic, and potatoes. But what I came to say is that even though we have to buy 99% of our food from the store we don't eat out much at all. To tell the truth my boys 20 and 16 have not eaten at a restaurant more then 5 times in their lives. We have had quick fast food of course but that is maybe once a month. My family cooks every meal and we laugh when the topic of eating out comes up.
Your older videos are popping up on my UA-cam feed and I'm thoroughly enjoying them. Are there any videos planned in the future to go back to the older videos and outline the amazing progress and growth you've accomplished. Maybe a highlight video of success and try again accomplishments. Did Meg ever get time to finish the afghan mentioned in a video from about 4 years back? Time to toot your horn! You've been so successful!
The squash are super size and the tomatoes look spectacular guys ... Wow , you have your very own super munchkin , she is a living doll... Meg , your always dishing out something wonderful in the kitchen , your family is very lucky.. Blessings on you all and the Farm / homestead..Amen.
Me either and I live about four miles, tops, down uncrowned country roads from a Taco Bell. Maybe I’ll try one just to get an idea of what the Hollar’s had tonight!😁
Crunch wraps were always my favorite. After watching you Meg I could maybe replicate. Have not had one in years. During the Pandemic we stopped eating out. And now nothing taste the same???
I love Meg with her hair down. My girls and I have long hair and they don't see many other womewith long hair down. I always tell them it's pretty and my 6 year d saw Meg and smiled.
I’m a new viewer and very impressed that your daughter hasn’t had to experience fast food. That’s a good thing! Tomato Pie has me intrigued so going to check out that video next!
I slice fresh tomatoes and freeze them in a pie pan lined in parchment . When it is frozen solid I remove it from the pan and vacuum seal it. I defrost and add the other ingredients and make tomato pie all winter.
Hi ,got to say I really enjoyed watching ur morning chores with the animal feeding , My dream was to own and run a farm Lots of animals But did not happen ,now at allmost 70 , I can sit and watch u both ,and enjoy it , Thanks for taking ,me along
I'm in Idaho. I didn't know about the quarantine of garlic and onions. Thanks for sharing! By the way, my garlic was awesome from the grocery store! My onions were bulbs bought or the seeds I've bought online. My son and I put up 200 lbs of onions in one year. Great video! Meg you do an awesome job editing all the video's Ben takes!
❤ it's so pretty and green there❤ the evergreens, your own private woods, cricket song and animals😊 Daddy walking with the littlest was precious ❤❤ Biscuit is a pretty boy. Love your maters. I didn't get much of anything out of my garden this year. BUT my new hens started laying yesterday, it's a beautiful thing seeing 3 hens in a 4 box nester😊 Mom made tomato pie, never had it yet. Must be really good!❤
Tip: For crunchy fried corn tortillas that will take less oil to fry, let the tortillas sit out a day outside the plastic bag. Just lay them on a cookie sheet and cover with clean kitchen towel to dry out, and then fry for tostadas or crunch wraps. Your homemade crunchwrapslooked delicious!
What a lovely family you are. A beautiful Homestead. Ms. Jessica from Three Rivers Homestead recommended your UA-cam Channel and I’m enjoying every video. God bless you all!
I love my walking onions. I get nice-sized bulbs from mine. I chop them up and freeze them, since they don’t store very well. But they’re my most dependable onion source.
Good day Meg, Ben and family. When we lived in Ca. Toco bell was the pitts, we would go to Del toco, Toco teo and others, much better then the bell. there was a small place in east Santa anna that I used to get a toco burger, it was messy but soo good !! All this was in the 60s , long ago and now faraway !!
Meg, you look gorgeous with your hair down! I know your always working, so hair up is the thing. But just thought I’d give a compliment where a compliment is due.
Watching little Mini-Meg talking and scurrying around the farm, it occurred to me that she is being raised in the best environment she could ask for. Reminds me of times past ❤ God Bless you Hollar Homestead 😊

Has anyone freeze dried the green onion tops and then powdered them?
❤ sent Buggy do chores with Ben ♥️
@@prayingthruit554yes I do alot of greens for recipes and smoothies
Little miss is right up there with the boys. She sure is a daddy's girl.
isn't she a cutie
Buggy loves being with her dad
I hope your kids realize just how much of an epic childhood they have. Not many get such an amazing life.
Y'all give me THE BEST dinner ideas!!! Thank you so much!
Sausage gravy over a thick slice of tomato is pretty delicious. Your littlest helper won't be out done by her brothers no matter the age difference.
That’s how we eat gravy
Thanks that's what I plan on for lunch tomorrow. Great idea.
Yum sausage & gravy over biscuits ❤. Growing up we had it over bread & called it 💩 on a shingle 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love this family 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Fun to go back and watch.
Love seeing your sweet momma cow.

❤ it's so pretty and green there❤ the evergreens, your own private woods, cricket song and animals😊 Daddy walking with the littlest was precious ❤❤ Biscuit is a pretty boy. Love your maters. I didn't get much of anything out of my garden this year. BUT my new hens started laying yesterday, it's a beautiful thing seeing 3 hens in a 4 box nester😊
Mom made tomato pie, never had it yet. Must be really good!❤
Tip: For crunchy fried corn tortillas that will take less oil to fry, let the tortillas sit out a day outside the plastic bag. Just lay them on a cookie sheet and cover with clean kitchen towel to dry out, and then fry for tostadas or crunch wraps. Your homemade crunchwrapslooked delicious!
What a lovely family you are.
A beautiful Homestead.
Ms. Jessica from Three Rivers Homestead recommended your UA-cam Channel and I’m enjoying every video.
God bless you all!
I love my walking onions. I get nice-sized bulbs from mine. I chop them up and freeze them, since they don’t store very well. But they’re my most dependable onion source.
Your insistence on learning your property and how it produces is most interesting. KUDOS‼️
💚 The Taca Bell knock off looks great..and much healthier! 💚

Great content!
i really liked this minimalist kind of episode. we see what you're doing, no need to explain every detail.
Beautiful harvest!
Good day Meg, Ben and family. When we lived in Ca. Toco bell was the pitts, we would go to Del toco, Toco teo and others, much better then the bell. there was a small place in east Santa anna that I used to get a toco burger, it was messy but soo good !! All this was in the 60s , long ago and now faraway !!
Thank you for showing crunch wrap sequence. My husband loves them so I have to try !!!
Always nice to have all those fresh greens, tomatoes and etc. To enjoy I liked watching you gathering the walking onions.
I grow these and dehydrate the green tops, powder them and make wonderful onion powder. Its really good
Meg, you look gorgeous with your hair down! I know your always working, so hair up is the thing. But just thought I’d give a compliment where a compliment is due.
I noticed a difference in the video today..... I like it!
Looking forward to tomato pie!!
