Your fence is really coming along, Jason. So glad you had Ben's tractor with the auger to do the poles. They look great. Making that roof for your water collection do double duty as a shelter for the picnic table was a stroke of genius. Dinner and desert made me hungry it looked so good. Thanks for sharing this day. Y'all have a Blessed weekend.

[@RanknResourceful]

Would love to see a drone overview of the property showing the fencing project in the context of the whole layout of the property. Everything looks great! Love seeing the progress!

[@SuesSecretGarden3]

One thing about your videos you can always leave smiling at least I do. Great job on your fencing

[@simoneconsciousobserver3105]

Dinner overlooking the farm looks pretty incredible. And the fencing does too

[@tobycatVA]

It is fantastic to see Penelope use power tools and help set fence poles, guaranteeing she will not just be a pretty face, but a well-rounded, self-reliant young lady, following in her Mother's footsteps. 10/10 parenting skills. That picnic shot at the end . . . bucolic paradise.

[@myrlelembicz6364]

I*m pretty sure I*m addicted to Loraine, Meg and Gina along with Jason, Ben and Al All you people are the best!

[@c_gakom]

The net was pulled up nicely. I took note. Eating outside the home, in nature, is a great solution.

[@tylerbarrett6652]

I watched Pete over at Just A Few Acres Farm - and he was repairing fence. He said one of the biggest mistakes he made was the amount of money he spent on fencing ... for cattle. Now you have animals other than cattle... so I don't know how much it matters, but Pete said he would stick to the 3-wire live fencing for his cattle if he had it to do all over again. It's the recent one where he's talking about chores on the farm... not the ones where he is rebuilding/refurbishing his Farmall. It didn't seem to make much sense to me except that I've been told that cattle eventually grow accustomed to that 3-wire fence. Pete was saying it doesn't matter how sturdy you build it, cattle can knock it down or destroy it pretty easily. For whatever that's worth. I enjoy watching you develop your property there and I thank you for sharing the journey with us.

One yay! More to come....🎶Working. Working. Working For A Livin'🎶✌️😎👍

[@Greens5511]

Penelope, u have wonderful parents! They r lucky to have u!

[@Ad_venture666]

Thanks Jason for sharing, when I watching your videos and you working in this quiet place and there is no voice except nature, it's like a meditation for me 👍🏻🥃

[@19Lou77]

SOW happy I listened to you and didn't fall for that "False Spring"! March definitely came in like a Lion 🦁, nasty 🌧️☔🌧️ rainy cold day here in North Carolina 🌄...I can't wait to see your fence complete 😁... and since I'm commenting while watching, I'm really looking forward to seeing what Lorraine has cookin'🤔... sure would love a 'Sow The Land Cookbook'! You could call it 'SOW Delicious '!😋🍽️

[@douglasgatian1401]

I like your style! Nice to see Penelope out with Dad.

[@cathykillion6544]

Beautiful family dinner outside. ❤

[@afrlala3593]

This is such an important part of homesteading.

[@danielb1877]

3:34 - that would've made a decent Christmas tree a few months ago... :)

[@stephaniewilson3955]

'A little bit more challenging'? You are the master of understatement, Jason.

[@mstewart9231]

I am so proud of you and your family. You are all working so hard and it is looking great. Thanks for taking me on your journey.

[@Papaguena]

Cool a picnic over the property! 👍

[@LauraRogers-xu1fi]

Loved the birdsong in the background. Also loved the dinner sequence with the beautiful view and the lovely meal. Thank you!

[@oldwillowtree173]

Lovely! Specially enjoyed the artistic filming of the part where we just heard the sound of the wind, some birds, and the various sounds of the slow work of fence building. Beautiful artistic video with beautiful scenes and music, and the perfect picnic ending. Thank you!

[@robertlemoine3500]

Your fencing technique is vastly improved . 😊

[@Greens5511]

What a lovely supper Lorraine!! 😍😋🤤

[@j.p.9295]

What a lovely spot on a top of the hill to have a meal . 😋 🍲

[@patience1226]

@12:00......OH MY!!! THAT IS ONE PRETTY FENCE!! VERY straight!😁

[@SowtheLand]

thanks! 🤗

[@pincheguarito591]

I just love to watch this family work and eat together!

[@jenniebaird2994]

Love your basket! I have several of them. Also love how you work as a family, great job!

[@HeatherNaturaly]

I am so jealous of your physical ability. I'm OLD now, and finding it harder and harder to do what needs to be done around the property. I need fencing, among other things and my husband is in poor health and can't help me. TREASURE your physical ability and don't waste it, like I did.

[@tammy2423]

Jason you are goals! 🦾🦾Love seeing the whole family pitch in!

[@janicedalesandro1190]

A honest effort with good ending! And then there was a beautiful family meal and fruit pie. Perfect. Blessings always.

[@jbbrown7907]

Building a perimeter fence is a great way to learn your land.

[@camicri4263]

A hard day with the rewarding end! Blessing beautiful family!

[@lloydmarchant4912]

If tamp all of the dirt back in the hole using a tamping bar you will get very solid posts.

[@disappearingoffgridfreshst5339]

Just so you know when running long distance of fencing by yourself try using a nail to the top of the post and running a short bungee cord or string to hold up the fence while you stretch it out to tighten up the tension. Sincerely: John

[@sandyevers5500]

💕 your video 😊. You may want to add a fan to your seeds to make them stronger 😊. Have a great day.

[@talonnansel8314]

Hi Jason, I have had really great success with adding bungee cords to the top of the fence around the posts every 50’ when working by myself with the full run of 330’ This has made it possible to get good tension. Cheers! Happy Fencing…. The other F word.

[@alh9338]

Oh I remember putting up fence like that. You have to admit, seeing the fruit of your labor is one of the most rewarding thing of all. 🍻

[@t-faith3153]

We had cows . My husband said if you can get 7 strands on your fencing that would help and a hot wire on the inside of it. Most of the time one good zap they learn. Lol except for one calf. It kept sticking her nose to it 3× , then around and stuck her butt to it about 3× . Almost like " does it hurt this way , yap , does it hurt this way yap it still does.😅

[@shadegarden7375]

Dinner looked yummy and beautiful in the outdoors!!

[@gowest5145]

You are saving yourself a lot of money doing your own fence.

[@SowtheLand]

for sure

[@cherylbertolini3140]

Great job with the fence, lovely dinner. Have a wonderful weekend.

[@gloriatwiggs467]

Just look at that great fence and your helper is a beauty. #PressOnRegardless. You are doing a great job.

[@Gypsygurl2024]

Dinner and sunset over looking your beautiful property.. i love it! Such a gorgeous fam, living life to the fullest 💜🙌👏

[@whitestone4401]

Look at that fence! What an accomplishment. Great evening for a picnic.

[@debbiewood7718]

How fun to have a picnic outside already. I hope to have lots of outside meals this year.

[@homesteadlady3acrehomestead]

It took us two years to complete the wire fencing for our place, bit by bit, just my husband and I. Great job!

[@AnlikerAcres1]

It’s great to see Penelope with you! I did mornings teaching my boys academics then spent the afternoons teaching life skills. Your fence is going to look great! ❤

[@keith8676]

Timeless high tensile with a speed rite charger will be much cheaper and faster for those long runs

[@sandyscats4]

Woo Hoo!!👏👍❤️👩‍🦳 Congratulations on the fence. Perfect place to eat. ❤❤

[@susanrodman]

The freezer would make a great worm bin🪱

[@larryhattrup5756]

Jason You are doing an awesome job with your fence work. As a kid we put up miles of fence the same e way you are today. Keep your head up!!!

[@theIAMofME]

Jason, you are such a hard worker! That picnic dinner looked so lovely and yummy. You guys are living THE LIFE!!

[@sgrvtl7183]

Peach & pear crumble pie - YUM~!❗🧡💛 nice work on the fence, a lot of fencing❗The picnic scene is heartwarming💚

[@skeetermalcolm1655]

I can say one thing about you brother is that I have never seen anyone work so hard, the fence looks great

[@margaretpervier8357]

A meal for kings! The fence is AWSOME 😊❤

[@mariesheppard3750]

[@missourigirl4101]

Aww so relaxing eating supper by sunset

[@Miguel195211]

Nice family outing! 🥘

[@sandracunningham2689]

Really enjoyable video. Felt your struggle with the fencing but that great meal made the work so worth it. Living the good life. Lot and lots of great memories.

[@russellhayes407]

What a way to cap off the day. Thank you.

[@NinaM93]

It’s so inspiring watching you and your family work so hard to build your dream life, Jason. And seeing a young lady learn how to do this stuff is pretty awesome too. We need more of that for kids these days. Good job guys, thanks for bringing us along for the journey. And Loraine, whatever kind of crisp pie/ crumble you made looks absolutely delish!!

[@patience1226]

Your picnic looks absolutely DELICIOUS....YUM!!

[@maggiefriedrichs777]

Thanks for sharing your successes as well as the struggles. I look forward to seeing your family.

[@stevealldred4424]

Fence work is hard on the body. I put 550 feet up last Spring, so our German Shepherds could run in our front yard. This year I'm thinking about the backyard! Thinking is they key word!

[@tracyash4246]

I believe you would not regret putting in the woven wire around the pasture parameter. The high tensile wire would be fine for paddock separation.

[@nancywilson7476]

Omg your food looks delicious. And that pie.... YUMMMM

[@SowtheLand]

Thank you 😋

[@amandar7719]

Never knew watching you figuring out fencing would be so gripping. Looks great and straight and will do the job well for your larger animals. I’ve always wanted a higgledy-piggledy fence myself. Ever since visiting a farm my great grandparents once lived at when they moved to Devon after the war. They were beautiful fences that looked as though an underground tsunami had washed through and lifted and lowered the posts with the rails at angles. It looked a wobbly work of art but was probably someone just making do with what they had. The house was crooked too so who knows. 😊

[@lifewithmikeandjenn5814]

I know you said on HST that your fencing videos have dropped off on viewing but I find them very helpful. Keep it up! Be blessed ❤️🌿

[@gloriarobinson6107]

My husband and I really enjoy your videos. Your family are very hard workers. We started watching recently and watched several previous videos. A great family.

[@janetmitchell8771]

You're building a great fence! We love watching your videos.

[@martinharte7633]

Enjoying the fruits of your labor,blessings and continued good health 🤞

[@debinbc]

Beautiful to see you guys enjoying your space 🙏💕🥰 god bless you all🥰👍

[@secretgardenhomestead3251]

Such a peaceful ending :) thanks for another video Jason!

[@byronholmes2496]

Good day to all. Lovely closing.

[@suemullinax8985]

Great job on your fence 👍 also you learned fast how to assemble it. It really looks great. Soon on to another project 👍♥️

[@theduke8077]

[@SowtheLand]

You are so welcome!

[@robinweber4646]

I wish I had Your determination Jason. Keep it up!!

[@johnmekan6464]

Great Video, beautiful satisfying ending.. Starting my fence project!

[@ChickenFarm98]

Oh . great . I really like what you share. Wishing you and your loved ones good health.

[@miephoex]

Jason and Lorraine! Have you thought about maybe doing a crowd funding for helping you purchase a tractor or other pieces of farm machinery? I’m sure there are some lovely people out there that would love to help you! We’re kind of invested personally in your homestead. You’re living the life some of us dreamed of and were not able to “go there”. P.S. when working barehanded be careful not to catch your wedding ring. Enjoy the picnic 💕

[@kimmieguidry]

I sure do wish they had a love button ❤❤❤❤❤

[@deannewilliams3321]

Yes I can only do what I can afford. And I have to buy the shorter length fence because I’m not strong enough to handle the bigger rolls. My fence is not tight across the back, I hate to see what it’ll look like coming up the side lol. But I had to take a break and do some plumbing…fun fun fun!! So happy to be making progress on my cabin, I bought the shell and finishing the inside myself 😊 Lorraine, dinner looked awesome! And Penelope you’re just as pretty as ever! Nice picnic!!! 🍽️ 🧺

[@karenweidauer6861]

Wow Jason, that’s a lot of fencing to do yourself. Great work!

[@jkron02]

It may be more labor intensive but Tamping your posts in is faster, cheaper and if you use gravel, the post holes dry out.

[@chanaguerrero5762]

Jason is a saint for eating that cobler over that tomato sauce.

[@jimconner2402]

Looks YUMMY!!!!! Hmmmm pie!!!!! Go Family Go!!! ❤️

[@pampilgrim2274]

Hi, Jason! You made tremendous progress on your fence in this video. Looking really good.

You're wise to recognize that infrastructure comes first.
