1 YEAR HOMESTEADING on our 2.5 Acre HOMESTEAD (In 25 Minutes)

[@Monkchip]

Your family is rocking it at the Homestead! You've made leaps and bounds and it's all so beautiful! Thanks for taking us along.

[@AcresOfAdventure]

Thank you so much! We are happy to have kind people like yourself that are willing to follow along

[@marksalyers1379]

Even though you didn't check everything off your list, you were able to accomplish a lot. You should be proud of what you've done. Keep plugging away.

[@AcresOfAdventure]

So true! Thank you, it’s hard not finishing everything on your list but gotta keep moving foward

[@robinham2796]

Love it!❤️❤️❤️Keep it up!! Your children are so incredibly blessed to have a daddy like you! You’ve accomplished so much! You’re never finished with teaching family values. I’m a 62 yo granny, Now I have 5 Grands To reach these values! May the Lord just bless you all beyond measure!!!

[@AcresOfAdventure]

Thank you so much!! We try out best and Chelsea and I and hopefully it will all work out. That’s all we can ask.

[@TreasureFiend]

I very much look forward to watching you check off new goals for 2023!

[@AcresOfAdventure]

Thanks! Hope it will be somewhat useful

[@BloomAlbumProv1128]

Another thing you could also do is build some perches or things for them to climb on and put it in their run. Its a fun project to do and the chickens will love it. Just an idea 💡

[@AcresOfAdventure]

That sounds like a good idea, we just don’t want them to start sleeping in there instead of the coop

[@BloomAlbumProv1128]

@@AcresOfAdventure oh yeah I don't think they will though but you know your chickens more than I do but maybe do research on it since we have chickens with perches and everything but they never end up sleeping there, but again I understand!

[@deniseforeit9983]

Love all of your Homestead videos! It’s great that the whole family is involved. We’re elderly and my husband built me a great wheelchair accessible deck garden. When you’re ready to sell those eggs, you’ve got 2 customers!

[@AcresOfAdventure]

Thank you Denise! You guys commenting and watching our videos means so much to us, thanks!

[@NewHampsireLiving]

We have a hoop for our chicken run for 2 years and love it. For fruit trees, we planted 9 20 years ago and have apples, peaches and pears. We just planted 2 more. A must have on the home. We added ours on the edge of the yard.

[@AcresOfAdventure]

Thanks for the extra motivation, we do need to get fruit trees in this year

[@murrayyazzie6185]

Good afternoon. 🥰🥰😇💚

[@tleereece7942]

Your channel is wonderful. I so enjoy watching, you are great at telling and talking. Little family is sweet. 😁

[@AcresOfAdventure]

Thank you so much! I was always told my talking got me into trouble growing up, glad I can use it for some good!

[@nancyseery2213]

Keep growing!

[@AcresOfAdventure]

We will try our best, thank you Nancy!

[@twotonenavy]

You guys are killing it! Remember: it’s a marathon, not a sprint. Thanks for the inspiration! Best wishes from Roseville, Michigan! - John

[@AcresOfAdventure]

Thank you, We loved our in Roseville for a little! It’s hard sometimes because you want to do everything fast but you have to be patient

[@darlenewoods880]

Ok, I’m writing my list! Just discovered y’all. In warm weather I’m my sons helper on the land, started tiny house. Thank you😘

[@AcresOfAdventure]

List are very helpful and a good reminder on what you want to do and helps you get it done!

[@janiceoconnor5711]

Great video! Full of positives

[@AcresOfAdventure]

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks Janice!

[@rebeccacolley397]

If u wanna keep those family values in your children, definitely homeschool! And great job on the property!!! God bless

[@monocle2848]

Congratulations on your beautiful homestead!! I dont know you, but I'm proud of you! It is a beautiful thing to see a family keep their values aligned with a self-sustainable lifestyle... You Rock!!! Absolutely keep it up!! The more people seeing the way it looks- the better the chances that others will follow suit! You're kicking butt!

[@The.Anna.Roberts]

I was blown away when you said you guys made 22 goals last year, I loved your realistic review and seeing all the steps you've taken this past year that I might have missed as a new follower! Keep taking those steps & can't wait to see what you guys create in the coming year!

[@2FHomestead]

I love your videos. I'm impressed at your KZbin growth. We just started our channel. I always look forward to seeing your notifications.

[@AcresOfAdventure]

Thank you! Have fun on the KZbin journey. Post things that you love and actually want to talk about and don’t worry about doing it how you think it should be, do it how you want

[@quackerfarm1234]

I was thinking instead of having a compost pile put everything in with your pigs and let them break everything up that way they can put it into the ground and it will help benefit them also

[@AcresOfAdventure]

Yes! That would be great especially to help that land that they are on!

[@darronmorgan4175]

Y’all are doing a great job on the homestead. It’s great to see the children getting involved. Keep up the good work. Now, 1 2 3 ruuunnn 😂

[@AcresOfAdventure]

Thank you! Will do! And yes, let’s just say the rooster is very testy with us sometimes!

[@jerriscollins-ruth9019]

Looking good. Congrats.

[@AcresOfAdventure]

Thanks 😁

[@kevinilg2657]

Thanks for the videos we all appreciate it very much 💪🇺🇲

[@troxycat]

We just got through our first year on our new homestead too, and it was definitely a wild ride! Looking back on it, it's almost hard to believe how much we were able to accomplish in just one year. I like the idea of making a list of goals for the year, I think I will start that today. Subscribed, it'll be fun seeing what we can both get accomplished this next year!

[@marthaadams8326]

BRAVO! This is a great video. It sounds like a Business Plan well on its way. I love that you make your plans together. And, you are so on the point with write down your goals or your forget them. I am elderly and disabled so I have a handyman who helps me out once or so a week. I make a list and when he leaves I go out and realize that one of my really big needs is not on the list and he is gone for a week. So, always make a list. It is a reminder when you have so many things going on. BTW, I love that you have your goal of being outside. The sun and fresh air is so important to good health. Those are very happy children and I didn't see you coaching them to be happy. So many parents, in my opinion, make the chores a bad thing instead of a fun thing. Learning to work together is an excellent life skill and being outside to do it - Well, the best. Are you going to home school?

[@AcresOfAdventure]

Yes we are getting there with the business, we hope to expand it a lot this year!

[@donobrenski630]

Fruit bushes are just as good as trees. Check that goal 😊!

[@AcresOfAdventure]

Well thank you for that 😁

[@mackenzieboersen]

In Michigan also! I love watching homesteaders in the same garden zones as me :)

[@AcresOfAdventure]

That is awesome! We love hearing people from Michigan that are interested in this lifestyle and hopefully we can give some tips that help!

[@joannak4640]

You all are doing a fantastic job!! Good luck in 2023

[@AcresOfAdventure]

Thank you! It’s been some hard learning but we are getting there!

[@cynthiaharrell784]

You give me so much inspiration! That's going to be my initial plan for 2023, to set goals and a tentative schedule for my new little homestead.

[@AcresOfAdventure]

I’m glad we can be a help for you!

[@cynthiaharrell784]

You're doing a wonderful job with your family. Keep teaching them to be self sustainable. BTW, you can't quit, I'm following your steps. Much luv💖

[@AcresOfAdventure]

Well don’t follow us exactly , I feel we screw up a little too much 🙈 but thanks!

[@ambersummers5527]

Thank you for this video. We are going to sit down and plan our year as well.

[@AcresOfAdventure]

It is always great to have some kind of goals, makes it easier to hold yourself accountable

[@monicakoch5526]

Love your honesty. We switched to Kalmbachs feed 6 weeks ago and can’t believe the difference. Our chickens began laying eggs within a week after being on hiatus since October. They love Kalmbachs feed and especially the mix with peas, sunflower seeds, etc. Just found your channel thanks for sharing your experiences.

[@growingahomestead7666]

Great video and you guys rocked 2022 and can’t wait to see you guys rock 2023

[@AcresOfAdventure]

Thank you!

[@greatfulchristian4314]

Ty acres of adventure for sharing You guys are doing a great job!! We started with chickens 8 months ago. One bantam rooster, 3 bantam hens, and 3 standard hens. The rooster is so small he’s not much of a threat :). Just like you guys we are trying to be self sustaining. Gods Peace and Blessings and Protection to you and family

[@ChefIsaac925]

I’m exactly 1 year into my homestead to and enjoy your videos, I’m here in the Bay Area California, good job brotha!

That is awesome good luck to you on your homestead, wish you the best this year and thank you for watching!

[@Citytohomestead]

Good job 👏

I know the pain! So I converted master bathroom to the pantry!

That’s crazy! You must have a huge pantry

[@Texas_Squatch]

Great video, lots of planning and achievement.

I loved this video and every video you make its so awesome seeing how much you grew and its nice to see that you take really good care of your family and animals and i can tell how hard you work in your videos 😀👍🏽

Thank you, hopefully we will have a complete petting zoo for you to see

[@savoryalaska]

Congrats and keep grinding. Love your videos - they are inspiring.

[@AcresOfAdventure]

Glad you enjoy them! Do you feel like Alaska is a nice place to Homestead?

[@caitfollowell]

I love watching your guys channel! You seem so down to earth and always keep it real!! We're in Michigan as well and this winter has definitely been weird lol. Happy to see another family fulfilling their farm dreams

[@AcresOfAdventure]

That is awesome! We love seeing other family’s do this as well, we would love to show and teach as many people as we can!

[@robinlangeliers6870]

Maybe consider getting some other forage plants mixed with grass for the chickens. There are some really good plants that will enhance the nutrition of your chickens and eggs and even save money on feed.

[@tedtucker7516]

I always watch your videos, they are super helpful so thank you

[@BloomAlbumProv1128]

You should also start a merch store!!!

[@AcresOfAdventure]

We don’t know how many people would actually buy any 🙈

I thought when you said the rooster tried to attack yous you were gonna say "then we ate him"

[@georgerunhomestead299]

How big is that closet. It looks big enough to build a wall so the kid has a closet but then add a door into house to keep your pantry.

[@AcresOfAdventure]

It’s pretty big but we are going to store a lot of food so I think we will use that closet and then he will have a dresser. He is only 1 so no need for a huge closet

[@dakotaholdren3419]

Love this channel

[@skyyramos3006]

I love your videos. We just purchased a 2.6 acre property and y'all are so inspirational to me. ❤ Love your videos and honesty. Hoping to make a KZbin being a disabled momma on her mini farm lol I don't know though bit nerve racking to start a KZbin.

[@AcresOfAdventure]

Just go for it! We just kept on pushing foward

[@skyyramos3006]

@@AcresOfAdventure thanks we made our first compost bins out of pallets. Only 2bins for now going to add another bin later on. Figured the first thing we need to get going is our compost so we can have soil ready when the time comes. I did record a bit of it at least. See if we do decide to go for it on videos I already have content to post.

[@dakotaholdren3419]

But I'll get there some day! I'm working on it😂

[@michelleh.9237]

Love your content! We are in Arkansas, so during this winter storm a few weeks ago, I leaned heavily on your channel for keeping the girls safe and warm! Quick question-do you have a link to the tarp you are using for prepping the garden?

[@AcresOfAdventure]

Awesome! Thank you! And I can’t remember we had it a long time ago and just used it so don’t have an exact link, search big garden tarps!

[@Glikens11]

where you at bro? I'm in Pinckney, looks like from the landscape you are not too far away!?

Not too far from you, thanks for watching!

[@AIERBIZ]

I got a nectarine tree I did from seed. I found out that greenhouses or grow indoors until I find a spot because of time . And it gets cold as hell up here in the Northeast. To have to stop my tomatoes now for example. How do you heat your chicken coops?

[@wyandotteromania]

👍💪👍

[@dakotaholdren3419]

Looking at your land makes me look bad!!!😅

[@aprilheadings2778]

I’m new to your channel and this is the first video I watched. Do you work outside the homestead as well or how do you have an income? My husband and I both have to work full time jobs but would love to just work on our farm, unfortunately the income is not there so I’m always looking to see what others do. We have 16 acres with goats, chickens, ducks, guineas, quail and rabbit but basically no farm income.

[@AcresOfAdventure]

Yes I have a job outside the Homestead, we have a goal of hopefully growing this channel along with a business plan that will helpfully get me away from a normal work week but for now we still have other income coming in

[@aprilheadings2778]

@@AcresOfAdventure thank you for the reply. That is our goal too.

If someone has a homestead and starts inviting people to start building tents and temporary structures on the property to live in , and getting those same folks to do all the work associated with a homestead is it still considered a "homestead" or is it a "Commune"?....... 3 Eggs 🥚🥚🥚🥚
