I have to hand it to you, Meg and the boys in cleaning up that garbage dump they left not only in the yard , trees, farm house, barn and the mobile home etc. that was a lot of work. Most people would never have bought the place seeing what needed to be done, but you & Meg went nah, piece of cake😜. Seriously though, you've made a wonderful homestead for your family in just a few short years. Looking forward to the greenhouse build. Blessings to you all. 😊🇺🇲

[@TXNLaurenMcN]

Cleaning up the garbage pile had to be a whole lot more enjoyable than watching and watching was SOOO satisfying. Excellent!

[@jetownsend1]

Watching you clean up the trash makes me think about the fact that there is no such place as "away". You can't throw things "away". They just go live on someone else's land. Forever. Which usually inspires me to buy less stuff that is going to have to be thrown away eventually.

[@estyria777]

That is a very sobering thought. Thank you for sharing

[@davidjenkins1958]

I have followed Ben and Meg practically from day 1 and here is what I Love about these 2 youngsters. They have stayed true to themselves, they still film as much as they did when they have started this journey. Far too many of them once they have reached 100,000 subscribers have lessened the videos they put out,it’s like they pay attention to the views they get and that is good enough for them. One couple that I literally followed from their very beginning now has like 102 million subscribers and they only post maybe 2 times a week and that is all. But not Meg and Ben. They still post 5 - 6 days per week. I know I sound like I am rambling and am jealous but I’m just stating why I Like them so much.. Keep up the good work and thank you.

[@victoriakesler5949]

WELL SAID! THEY KEEP ON KEEPING ON 🥰💚

[@MontsFamilyHomestead]

You can never go wrong with meatloaf and mash potatoes. My wife makes the same recipe that my grandmother did and it is just so very good. Meg is always cooking up something that will feed a hungry family. You two are such a blessing to watch because of the way you have raised you children and to continue to do so. Thanks so much for all the fun and helpful videos each week. Have a wonderful week and God Bless.

[@TobyCatVA]

The decrapafication getting done has got to be so satisfying. I know it's been on the list since you first walked the property and were shocked at just how much there was and now the end is in sight. CONGRATULATIONS! 😎

[@ttandme69]

Decrapification…love it…😆🤓😆

[@VisoMoraine]

Trash cleanup is satisfying. And Meg has the sweetest "bye" at the end. Great video.

[@gwynethgrove772]

Just wanted to say, your filming and editing has gone to a whole new level recently. It’s just great watching your place coming along so well. Love it.

[@archaprice3372]

Meg does a fabulous job of editing!

[@shadowmancer7040]

Congrats on defeating the trash pike! You guys rock and have quickly become my heroes.

[@kimcritchfield5796]

Buggy wasn’t a twinkle in your eye when you arrived here. But little by little you have really transformed that trash heap into a homestead thousands are envious of. 💕💕💕. Great job!!

[@stellacontreras7740]

Meat loaf, mash potatoes string beans, gravy. My Husband's favorite. That I have not made for him for years. I use to make it at least once a week, when our house was filled with little feet, but as the kids grew, I decided to stop working out of our home. I had did home license day care for children, for many years in my home . So I got out into the World to working I got into caregiving for the elderly Memory, care. and Assistant living. I will be Retiring soon at 66 years young. So now my husband will get a meat loaf,and mashed potatoes and string beans and gravy, homemade bread. Believe me he will be a happy camper. He has been retired for quit a while. With No more kids at home I just gave up making these kind of meals, I thought we didn't need it anymore. But seeing Meg's cooking ! Is Telling me get back into that kitchen . My man needs to eat homemade good food. My husband and I have been with eachother 52 years. Meg your just Amazing.👌 Hey seeing all that junk, tells me clean out the junk doors. Your baby girl hair is growing in so cute on that pretty face. And again love to see you praying 🙏 together for your meal, to our Lord Cute busy vidio of a good everyday life of hard work, family , togetherness, and love for our Lord. Beautiful Reminder. Of God, family, and Country, "Living the American Dream" In the End of life the only thing that counts is, Love for our Lord , and Love for a good spouse, and Love for your Children.., And your children's children. Taking care of the Elderly taught me that ! The only thing that counts in the End of Life when the Good Lord comes calling, is knowing Jesus our Lord and Family.🌹❣️ Stand Strong 💪❣️ Family you are setting a good example of how Love looks. 🙏 Dear Lord I am praying for your blessings on theses Beautiful people. Ephesians 2-8,9 Romans 10- 8,13 John 3-16 Thanks for sharing.👍 Proverbs 3-5,6

[@rosaking8488]

You all have brought so much beauty to your homestead! Such a beautiful place for your children to grow and learn so much along the way. ❤️

[@donnamays24]

STOP WHAT YOUR DOING…The Hollar’s just posted and I gotta go watch! Can’t wait for the greenhouse to go up! Y’all have had a really productive year on the homestead! So many improvements and everything looks so fantastic! Blessings guys from your biggest fan🙏💖

[@sandyc6569]

😊👍

[@naomivanzyl4275]

I always like the video before even watching!!

[@heidibartle2241]

I feel the same way

[@donnacochran3335]

Is that not truth?! I am moving and was in the garage and their video popped up. I had to tell the kids I needed a break. They don't need to know it was to watch a Hollar video! 🤫😂

[@SuesSecretGarden3]

I'm so glad Meg perfected her meatloaf would have been a nightmare to loose her 🤣🤣🤣. I love how you guys teamwork to get things done ❤️👍🏾

[@archaprice3372]

They are Energizer bunnies.

[@lisapieper3598]

Love the tractor & the thought of a greenhouse is so exciting!

[@marycountry]

Yeah, that’s the green house!👍🏻😊❤️

[@sharonhaas8503]

Looking forward to seeing the greenhouse go up and be put into use! Meg, what a day of canning all sorts of good things. Garbage consolidated! Excellent work everyone! Take care.

[@amandaforeman2626]

Awesome ! So happy for the greenhouse for you guys !!!!!!!

[@gaylewatkins4685]

Congratulations on the greenhouse delivery. That's going to be another game changer for your farm. Can't wait to watch it go up. You are a fantastic homestead family. God Bless 🙏

[@virginiawisdom7170]

Been watching old vloggs and the amazing changes you all have made on this little slice of heaven is truely amazing!

[@jodytempleton-jackson1377]

Seeing the planter house will be a deal breaker 😀

[@rosaking8488]

I see all the old tires. They make great flowers beds after a clean up and some paint. I have a LARGE (lol) tractor tire in my back yard with my lily’s planted in them. 👍🏻❤️

[@thedelightfulcottage343]

Y'all are rocking it! Meg is my kitchen dream! Hey, the greenhouse will make a great spot for winter milking and tractor storage! Ben, you can make pallet \ bale fork!

[@emeraldwaterlifehomestead2180]

Great clean up, what a great feeling when something is completed. Thanks for taking us along. Buggy and the boys, adorable. 🌸😊🌸

[@bonessam9618]

Glad your greenhouse came. I'm excited for you with that along with hopefully getting a dumpster for all of that garbage previous owners left. What a relief that will be for you all.

[@marciaskillern6889]

Love it. Okra looked good. Glad you got your greenhouse. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.

[@naturegirl8944]

Can’t wait to see the greenhouse go up. I hope it doesn’t ruin your view though… loved the intro as well

[@oldlifter530]

When you build your green house don't forget to allow for compost pile for winter heating.

[@carlapierle8623]

I'm so excited for you to have your greenhouse!! Yay!! You're the second homesteading video I've seen that's had meatloaf and mashed potatoes. It's MY favorite meal too and now I'm gonna have to make it ASAP because my mouth is watering.

[@karineb5980]

En France c'est un "hachis parmentier" Mr Parmentier à introduit la pomme de terre en France à une époque de disette. La méthode était rusée ...et à sauvé tellement de personnes

[@sharoncochran8508]

Meatloaf and mashed potatoes is my favorite meal too! Your meals always look amazing!

[@sandrahoglan7452]

So happy your getting a green house. Cannot wait to see that come together.

[@michellejones5606]

baby needs a swing! LOL Too cute 🌻

[@barbarabrand190]

Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and green beens. My favorite meal. The greenhouse project looks to be exciting!

[@StoneKathryn]

Wow, that's a foggy morning Ben! I like the concrete statue by the spigot. Did you find that on the property? Nice milking routine! It's good you got your greenhouse now instead of a long time from now. Now you can put it up when things are done. Yes, I've been clearing out my freezer for my expected meat bird butchering in about a month. You have pigs to get in the freezer! I have tons of tomatoes but they are still all green! My pumpkins are starting to turn orange. Yum, mashed potatoes and gravy and meatloaf! Wow Meg, having to regrind your ground beef! So much you have to do! You must love using the tractor Ben. Nice place to put Bubbles and Lambchop. Thanks for showing us you using the tractor and cleaning up that junk pile! Thanks for this Hollars!

[@slgoad]

Meg, you could always can preserve meat and get more room in your freezer. Plus, if electric goes off for an extended time, you are not going to lose a lot of frozen food. I do stew beef chunks, ground burger (after cooking) boneless chicken, BBQ chicken and pork, and sausage balls (all meat, not fillers). Your yard/property clearing out trash looks great. WTG! Excited about your high tunnel.

[@lorihamrick9349]

All your hard work is really showing. Can't wait to watch you put up the greenhouse.

[@tpaw6908]

Busy have a blessed week.

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

Congrats on the greenhouse!! Having it will make a big difference with growing stuff😊 I'm so excited for y'all. Getting rid of the garbage from the previous home owner is a good thing. Now you have the new space for the pigs. We have a space way out back where our previous home owner threw all his metal. We haven't targeted it yet. We eventually will, then we'll go to the metal place and sell rhem the metal. Might as well make a little money from it. We've finally been getting rain, this makes me happy. The grass doesn't look so dead. Meg, have you started your seed order yet for spring planting? I'm working on ours. I did get my flower order done, sent in, and have received those seeds. Life is good!!

[@marybk882]

Meatloaf, mashed potatoes with butter, salt and pepper, and peas - our family favorite. Yum!

[@faithrada]

Can't imagine tackling that trash pile without a serious tractor. That's incredible progress. 👏 hooray

[@belieftransformation]

Wonderful progress on all parts; thanks for sharing! Many blessings to your family 🤗❤️🇨🇦

[@archaprice3372]

I love to watch Hollar vlogs, TYFS.

[@telyeash4155]

Great job guys a greenhouse will be so fun to watch you put together

[@ingridskitchengarden]

My mothers favorite meal was meatloaf mashed and green beans. She passed in 2004 and we served that meal at her memorial. Your going to love the greenhouse. The opportunities are going to be endless now. 😀😀😀😀

[@camicri4263]

It's coming along you guys! Great job! One step at the time!🤗💗🤗

[@amandar7719]

Megan! Tell us your secret, do! How you keep your hands un-chaffed and raw with all the hand washing of dishes you do without gloves! Do you smother them in petroleum jelly at night and wear cotton gloves? ❤️

[@swissmiss2525]

Meg is a beast. She’s one hard working woman. Always canning and cooking and making meals. I hope you two take one day a week to rest.

[@TheHollarHomestead]

Yes, I make sure to take Sunday’s to just sit and relax. ❤️

[@shamancarmichael5305]

I half expected you to need a hazmat suit moving that old trash! 😁 So glad you are steadily reclaiming your land, it's lookin' good!

[@janninehaslam9204]

YEAH new video.....can't wait for the greenhouse to go up. Love and blessings to you all ❤ xjx

[@veronicajean3612]

My friend was telling me today about going on hunts with her dad to farm. And going throughout their trash piles that had been there for years. Finding all sorts of great things. She had a big crock . Like huge with a nice glaze and design that was used to hold pickles and things. Perhaps in country stores.

[@silencedflower8441]

Can grow cold season crops and cool flowers. Have flowers blooming first thing in spring.

[@BlueYiperoo]

Greenhouse cool!

[@mgtmoffat8411]

Another great vlog. You have made so many changes to the property in your short time there. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💕💕🌻🌻

[@jasonfoster2378]

From watching other homesteaders, when you put your green house up, i would recommend putting down good weed fabric beyond the width of your greenhouse so you don't tear up the plastic when trimming, and it will make it easier to mow around it.

[@nocturnaldaisy6181]

Just finished up the last set of old videos I had not seen yet. From framing walls in the mobile home to buggies 1st BDay. This was a great video to get back on current videos with. You were discussing/planning the greenhouse back on those videos. So happy to finally see some progress on that plan.

[@nancybrown9469]

The greenhouse is going to be a game changer. I'm so happy for you.

[@robertacleary5256]

Inch by inch you’re getting it all done kudos to you😊👵🏻beautiful family 🥰

[@terryhenderson424]

Thank goodness for that tractor - it even made this project pretty much possible in a day.

[@karenprice5839]

You both are some of the greatest “Creators” in videos I have seen. The angles and super shots are tremendous. Plus the everyday content is just wonderful. Congratulations on such successful content. Hugs from Indiana.

[@debrafrey1274]

From California… you are my favorite homesteading channel! Love watching all of you, especially Meg working her magic in the kitchen! Great background music!🌺💫

[@radmilamiljanic5977]

It might be more convenient to leave the seedlings in the bathroom, because you tend to forget to water stuff🤣

[@ilene9349]

You're going to love & appreciate your green house, 💕 & 🙏

[@rebeccamunoz4596]

Whoohoo garbage day!!! Green house built😀🤗👍❤have a great evening

[@leobaltz2057]

I think Meg makes a mean EVERYTHING !

[@margaretbedwell3211]

What an improvement that made. I just asked my son clean out a shed for me and we filled a pick up truck twice and got it to the dump. What a relief...so I know you were glad to get this pile moved. Y'all have a Blessed day. BTW your ground beef looked so good Meg. No gray brown stuff in that bowl full.

[@swanbranch]

Cleaning up the property is so satisfying...glad to see you were able to get to yours. We have a few piles on our new homestead also, but that will be a winter project since we'll have to pick it up by hand. But that will be a separate video later on for us. Great work!

[@jeffbee6090]

so nice just to see what you guys are up to each and every day!

[@allenclark9446]

Oh GREAT! I've been waiting for this. Happy for all of you!

[@pattigsbh4392]

Yay, goodbye to nasty trash pile to utilize land for something you want. I love hear and seeing how Meg cooks. Bless y'all for such great teamwork. ❤

Meg, when I was in the Philippines they cooked a chicken soup that had miringi leaves in it. It cured a cold so fast. Chicken, miringi, onions, green papaya salt and pepper. It’s delicious

[@johnmcqueen4348]
