We focus on some of the features we love about our new life in the country and the changes that have come about now that we have a baby. We also update you on what we've been up to in the kitchen and garden over the last few months since our daughter was born.

FREE PROVISIONING GUIDE
Pascale has put together a FREE 40 page Provisioning Guide. The Guide explains and provides examples of how we can travel eating a variety of healthy and delicious meals for up to 6 months at a time on our tiny boat with no resupply. There has never been a better time to start learning how to increase the food storage potential of your home. I hope this guide will inspire you to make more informed long term provisioning choices for the future!

Constance is adorable and I just love how you honoured your placenta by planting a fig on top of it, it will be a beautiful tree 😊

[@jamieminton172]

I think you folks have done quite well. Being self-sufficient is more than a full-time job. I have been curious about your community. Not that everyone would be comfortable being filmed, but it may be of interest to other viewers as well. Something like a trip to the feed store or farmers market or a swap meet. My family and extended community share resources, skills and grunt labor if that is all one has to offer. The richness of the interaction, if nothing more than sharing a joke and laugh, is the gold in your soul. Stay cool down there. It is cold up here. 🙃

[@paullewis6612]

Pascal, You’re doing a fantastic job juggling all the duties you’ve assumed. A Mom’s job can be thankless, my wife says. So don’t forget to take some time for yourself too. That Cherry-Brandy sounds wonderful 😋. Regards, Paul & Natacha 🇬🇧

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

Beautiful birds singing as you walk in the woods followed step by step with a line of animals surrounded by an abundance of flowers and vegetables. You've truly created your own garden of eden here on earth. 🙏 Thank you for sharing.

[@cornishhh]

Happy contented parents tend to have happy contented children.

[@dylanwebb9584]

I am sure we (the viewing obsessives) all appreciate the effort you put into producing these videos. The greater gap between episodes is not really an issue. BTW: love the cats.

[@Mminnehoma]

Thank you for making time to share your lives with us 😊

[@juliewholohan2850]

Twist your parsnip to get them up…my grandma showed me this and it worked 👍

[@thomasspainhour1112]

Awesome floral design, NC USA 🇺🇸

The calm place avoid of noiseness. Cool , fresh and pleasent.

Family First, we'll all still be here when you get time; but, please take time...

[@judyfisk9657]

PASCAL BEING A MUM IS A FULL TIME JOB IN ITS SELF YOUR DOING GREAT

[@campbellmj9405]

Gardening, cherries, flower arranging, goats, cats and no doubt the world's deadliest frog (being Australian and all)...what's not to love? Enjoying the channel as much as I miss the sailing bits. Thanks.

[@joecat101]

Wow those artichokes looked good.

[@simonwilson1211]

Ohh.. Cherry crumble washed down with some cherry brandy. Heaven!

[@marklawrence7791]

I love that you can just throw your spent veggies over the fence to nourish the goats and chickens. No waste and our comes manure.

[@pauleohl]

Next time, save some of those large broccoli leaves. They make a good poultice for sore muscles. Bruise the leaves, smear on some lard , apply to where it hurts and secure with a wrap like stick-to-itself elastic.

[@sachasully3200]

It’s great to see you making a video, you’re so beautiful and peaceful to watch. Thanks for sharing your journey. 💛

[@patrickratchford7026]

Hey it is tuff at times but Y'all are doing a great job with the baby and the farm.

[@mmoore102]

Have been following for years. Love where you are now. Seem to be at peace. What a way to live. Congrats. Beautiful family. Beautiful flower arrangements also. I love growing things and plants of all kinds. Be blessed

[@WilliamRolls-j2k]

the two sweat shirts look wonderfully I willi be weaing them with pride thanks ❤

[@BrianPetersen-l2w]

Beautifully recorded and edited footage. You tell a great story.

[@deeannec2000]

It is amazing just how much you are getting done with a new baby! It is impressive!

[@americanbornwalkaway9110]

I LOVE you three AND I Really LOVE your Homestead...Beautiful!!!!! and MY Free-range Homestead Hoody is My GO To Comfort for Outside to keep warm!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@richardp4544]

This was a truly lovely video and it demonstrates just how well you two have adapted to your new life style. You have become masters of your environment and with the addition of Constance, who by the way appears to be growing rapidly, that is no easy task. I know it takes awhile to regain the physical strength and stamina lost during pregnancy and delivery but you will get there I'm certain. You are a strong woman and it's obvious that Troy is sharing in your recovery and taking a hand at baby care as well. I pretty much suspected that he would be a great father. You two make a fascinating team.

[@1gr8lpta]

It seems in America most of what we find for canning jars are made by ball or mason. I would so love to know where I can purchase jars like that. Love this little video and your very lovely family. Those cherries look delicious

[@leoniewellesley6684]

You are doing a wonderful job mum and dad!

[@paulsmith8356]

Thank You!! Great video... I so much enjoy watching Your family grow; so different from when You were at sea.

[@timothydunn5889]

Rest assured, the contstant thing about Constance will be change.😊

[@mickeykeymoaw]

papoose : a type of bag used to carry a child on one's back.

[@kindnessmatters4068]

Papoose means "child" ... 🙂

[@mickeykeymoaw]

@@kindnessmatters4068 A child carrier, especially ones resembling those of Native Americans, is sometimes referred to as a papoose.

[@jaktar58]

Thanks

[@thomasthornton5737]

😀👍👍👍❤ Great job Mom and Dad! Do, please keep up your fun videos. Bye for now from Seattle, WA. (Northwest USA)

[@darrylmcleman6456]

Lots of good in the fermented veggies if they are not pasteurised or exposed to heat! CHEERS from Westcoast Vancouver Island! {where it snowed last night{!!!

[@rebacarmack8335]

The lady on Farmhouse On Boone- has 8 children and the baby wraps she uses looks so comfortable for the littles, they seem to love them.

[@almazalmo7683]

Loved this video, and the life you are giving your daughter

[@gkeyman565]

Great farm and family, seems to keep you plenty busy ;) Have a great day

[@malcolmprice3268]

It’s a little paradise you have there now. Hard and smart work which provides a great insight into your lifestyle, the technicalities, the diversity of your harvest. Great to watch it all grow including your family.😊

[@burkead]

Good to see your lives finding a new rhythm. It's challenging and fun.

[@SungLuyen]

Hi from Vietnam ❤❤❤

[@HDXBear]

Thank you so much for videos and hard work that makes this all happen. Outstanding content from outstanding folks . All the best from western Canada where i am enjoying minus 43 below no issues with mosquitoes .

[@MartynGrimes]

Another great production. Well done to you all. 👏

[@jeffslaven]

Great video guys! You're living such a wonderful life! ❤

[@kranzonguam]

Wonderful to hear that you're adapting to the new rhythms of life with a little one! Take good care, all of you!

[@dougsrepair1060]

Your videos are very inspirational.

[@missykuss9975]

You’re figuring it out ~ how to do things with baby Constance. And next year she’ll be toddling around the garden helping you. What an exciting time for your family!

[@philgawthrop2518]

Good on ya.

[@Quarry4x4]

My mum used to teach flower arrangement at TAFE she even had a 10 minute segment on the local TV each week.

[@adelehunter-smith5096]

The farm looks amazing. I would also like to know more about the farmers market and produce swop.

[@abder1349]

Inspirational!! 😊😊

[@gertboerman3666]

For me it took a bit of thought on growing a tree using a placenta as manure. After a bit of thinking.......great idea and an example for everyone.

[@cutaway7405]

Kudos to both of you! You guys orchestrated an Amazingly Healthy lifestyle!! So Happy for you and Constance growing in an environment for a successful future!!! Make more babies, they will be an important part in the future!!❤❤❤

[@malcolmknauer7443]

Job well done around

[@monkeybar88]

There are many good recipes for placenta.

[@dawnlupton2416]

Love your videos they are so calming and inspiring. Even if it’s just to grow and store a little. I used to grow and have hens but life has taken over. Food really is the most important thing for our health and the food industry is not to be trusted.

[@susankillian2805]

You are doing great! Keep the faith!

[@Happilarry-ji2tc]

Interested to hear your views on raised garden beds versus what you have now. BTW, we were in your area a couple of months back on a trip around Australia. You have a beautiful part of the world to grow a family and food. Thanks for the vids.

[@de6360]

Thank you.

[@cresentiae]

Thank you #savesoil #Consciousplanet

[@alanrobinson5109]

Great content in your video as always. Wishing you all the very best, from the UK.

[@honey-bee2k]

nice video😮

[@JoChadwick]

Such a peaceful and calming video of your contented life on the land, with the background sounds of native birds during their dawn chorus and busy chatter on your walks with your sweet baby Constance. Just wondering if your cats roam free outside during the day and if so, do they catch or harm the birds on your property? (spoken as a native bird lover)..Many thanks for sharing your lovely life on your property with your beautiful daughter.. :)

[@annhysell6064]

Lovely. All the best from the US. (I have to chuckle occasionally b/c I think "summer? but there is snow outside" and then remind myself) The gardens look amazing. I took your advice building a no dig garden and also planting a few fruit trees this spring. As always, be well.

[@steveclancy6474]

Yeah

[@Jolleseileren]

Fine bilder fra Australia!

[@brianrobinson7390]

Great to see everything working so well Not easy with a little one Just wondering of you had an update on the rabbit colony? Thanks

[@geoffpearce3953]

Better than a fry up..

[@englishmaninfrance661]

Delightful ;)

[@stephd90]

Hi thanks for the videos Love to watch about homesteading in Australia Where do you get your canning supplies from jars ect I find there is not alot of info in Australia about this Thank you Steph 😊

[@FreeRangeLiving]

We primarily got the jars 2nd hand. The lids etc are available at our hardware store. We saw some Weck jars on Catch.com at an amazing price and snaffled a bunch. Just need to keep an eye out!

[@marekoybetchay]

[@generiley355]

I really enjoy whiskey cherries from time to time......they are not preserved though......

[@bryanb1259]

❤❤❤

[@kippen64]

Brandy cherries on ice cream!!!

[@keithh3463]

When putting the onion shoots in the jar what was the glass press thing you put in prior to screwing on the lid?

Oh kalian menghiburku. Kakakku itu seorang guru fisika. Dia ingin punya usaha sampingan yaitu beternak kambing. Kambing itu dititipkan ke saudaraku.

[@LusyRihanany-fh1nv]

Aku tidak membeli sapi meskipun harganya hampir sama dengan kambing etawa. Karena pakannya yang lebih sedikit dibandingkan sapi.

[@mvl6827]

Simple life preferably WITHOUT children. Overpopulation is the blight of the planet .

[@joelkoonce8559]

I hope Daddy's changing plenty of diapers.

[@LusyRihanany-fh1nv]

Melihat orang bule. Aku takut. Aku takut dengan orang Israel yang membunuh orang-orang Palestina.

[@sandawise79]

Potty training an infant...rediculous..

[@FreeRangeLiving]

An adult who can't spell...ridiculous

[@Ladythyme]

There’s nothing freaking simple about that life 🙄

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Simple is not always easy, but we are surprised how smoothly our little girl has meshed in with our life. We might be a bit different though 😉

[@TheFlyingstop]

Thank you.
