Hi from London. 👋🏾 also subscribed to your instagram. My SA partner and I are so inspired by you both. I love that although you are loving your homestead, you do not sugarcoat for social media. This is clearly hard work. Strength to you and blessings to you. 😊

Hi guys, can you please remind me what website you used to search for land/homestead. I'm sure you mentioned it in one of your videos but I can't find it now. My husband and I have lived abroad now for many years but have decided to return to SA.

You guys ARE a good example for the younger generation. You have the very values so needed in this world and you are wise beyond your years. I am 65 and it took a while for me to start following my heart and not just do what society (and family) expected. I earned a very good salary as a computer programmer. One day I made a batch of soap from scratch and was immediately hooked. I remember walking into work showing everyone my soap and my manager saying "Why on earth would you want to make soap when you can just buy it from P&P? I ended up having a successful handmade bath & body product company for 25 years whilst raising two boys as a single mother. My mom also tried to "sabotage" me when I decided to leave corporate for my business. I now want to move to a small town and build a straw bale house and people are thinking I am crazy once again. I am envious that you figured out that one has to do what you want to in spite of everyone's expectations around you at your young age. PS: I really enjoy your channel. I find every episode informative and entertaining. I hope your channel becomes massive.

I know finances are stretched lately. The economy is just something else but perhaps think of hiring a farm worker even if comes twice a week. They have so much experience and can help a great deal.

O shucks goats...you must think twice. They will destroy your veggie garden and all the trees. They eat the bark of the trees and then it dies. I think sheep is much better. Grannyl❤

Hi you 2. I am a new subscriber. I am gonna watch all the previous videos. There's a No Knead Bread recipe on YT. Try it. It is so easy and quick. Only white bread flour, luke warm water, salt, sugar, instant dry heast and a wooden spoon to stir all the ingredients. Leave it to double in volume and put it in the oven or outside on an open fire with hot colesnon top and bake it for an hour. I use white plastic milk bottles and yougurt tubs to label my veggies. Lots of ❤ and all the best with your homestead. Granny Western Cape.

Guys, I am looking hard for land, but I won't lie, after hearing that this isn't your dream place it worries me. Do a lot of people get onto land and then see more and better places once in? Will I also get the itch to move .. scary
@millennialhomesteaderАй бұрын
🤣 Buyers remorse is a real thing. And what's worse in this case is, unlike buying a house that you can see what it looks like and you can even get it assessed by a plumber/an electrician etc. you can't really do this with land. You won't know how it is when it rains, it will be a surprise when the rainy season comes. You won't know how the sun moves unless you stay/camp at the property for a few days. Right now the way our farm is set-up it doesn't allow for a lot of movement and we also don't want to cut down a lot of our trees. our neighbour across decided to build a wall on his property and it cut into the road that we all use 🤣🤣🤣 so trucks struggle to move. Our other neighbour has decided to build multiple permanent structures and they are not even allowed to, and that's a problem. 🤣 There is other weird things that pop up along the way that you think would not bother you but you realise they do bother you. Another big one for us is we need bigger land, we used this one to learn. But we need at least 28 hectares so we can build a sustainable home for our family (parents especially as they are getting older and hopefully our siblings will join too) but yeah... buying land is not easy, take your time and assess the area.

@@millennialhomesteader Thank you so much for the advice. I didn't think of all the unknowns that can happen beyond what we can prep for. Definitely need to have a feel for the land longer than realistically possible. I'm currently in a house with the wrong orientation to the sun and it's regretful.

Thank you so much. Fortunately we are still building so we will get to use them. 🤩 then the last bit will be for beds for sure. I have always wanted to try that

Greetings guys, homesteading is not for the faint-hearted indeed. It requires some decent commitment and buy in from both parties in a relationship. I know many homesteads that failed to progress or develop because of an imbalanced appreciation from the parties involved. Putting things on the table has always been ideal especially before making the move towards homesteading…thanks for sharing your story

Build that outside toilet in such a way that you can flush the whole place out with a bucket of water. That way it is also useful if you have been working outside and you don't want to trek mud or dirt through your house to go to the loo.

With a bit of luck your channel will grow enough so you can make some money off that. I admire you. I live in a JHB suburb, have chickens and grow quite a bit of food, but I'm far from self-sufficient. My neighbours think I am weird. I am planning to move to a small Free State town and do more. I subscribed to your channel as I really like your energy.
