Ep. 79 The Last One of the Year

[@nancybladsacker5357]

Happy birthday Jason. We love you and your girls. ❤❤❤

[@kellygreen8255]

Ben, we don’t care what you post, we’re always glad to see y’all.

[@davidgetchell3633]

When you slow down on the post Ben, we miss seeing Buggie following dad around or seeing her helping mom !

[@claudettehernandez3402]

Jason your fence looks awesome

[@peterwild9459]

Thanks for the year guys...see ya in 2025

[@nancybladsacker5357]

Happy birthday Ben. We love you and the entire Hollier clan💜💛💜😘😘

[@Handling-Life-1-Day-At-A-Time]

Doesn’t matter what you all film. It’s the entertainment and the knowledge behind it that makes it fun and interesting. See y’all in the new year (2025)

[@clarencewiles963]

Well said thanks for sharing this. Thumbs up 👍 on the new year.

[@jackiehornsey1340]

Don't break the illusion guys, people watch for so many reasons, you will always have views, whatever you post. I often think Al and Gina must be so disaplined and driven to post like they do, and to have achieved so much. KZbin is a gift if you use it properly and a great escape from normal mundane tv for us. We also feel we are helping you guys by watching.🙂👍🏻

[@tinatippin5705]

You put that perfectly. I was thinking the same things.

[@PeggyLeeSebeni]

Ditto​@@tinatippin5705

[@frenchysandi]

Happy New Year to Lumnah Acres,Holler Homestead, and Sow The Land families. May the upcoming year be a real blessing. ❤❤

[@Mindmaid1]

Jason, remember to check with Ben about the "cups" he uses on his drying ham leg to prevent drips

[@cherylharless281]

Everyone says Ostriches taste like beef. Happy New year guys, to you and your families!

[@claudettehernandez3402]

Ben you looked tired …baby girl #2. You’re definitely blessed as well as Meg

[@lucyarumsey7262]

We appreciate any of your content, whenever you put it out. On a normal job, you come home & off duty. Now you are home & feel like you have to work. We like your animals & how you interact with them & the funny things they do. We enjoy your builds, cooking anything & family. Relax. We aren't going anywhere.❤

[@davidgetchell3633]

It's a great pass time, watching their videos, even their reruns !

[@lucyarumsey7262]

Start doing what you love.

[@diannemiller4754]

Happy Birthday Jason 🎂🎉 Happy Birthday Ben 🎂 🥳

[@irmibullinger1421]

Ben, you could always film what Meg is cooking! None of us get tired of that. She is so creative with her baking and cooking! Now Al on the other hand always is building something to film! Jason, I always enjoy what you're doing and I love your sense of humor!

[@dropshot1967]

Jason, when choosing which tractor you want, you should also consider, after price, having a good capable dealer with good service close by. Look at how Al had to sell his excavator because of the lack of service within a reasonable distance.

[@clarencewiles963]

Good point having a servicing dealer is most important.

[@richardbuller9283]

You young fellers have awakened a story with your talk about freezing weather and vehicles starting. I live in central Montana, It can get very cold -40 is no stranger. Any way about 30 yrs ago we had a cold cold cold spell. 40 below was common for a spell. I got up one morning to go to work and it was about 35 below. I went out to start the car, which was a little french model. I had it in gear and cranked it up. It started fine, but the throttle was froze wide open, so I went to shift into neutral and the gear shifter broke off at the floor. So I shut it down and went back to bed

[@davidgetchell3633]

There are just some times you say that enough !!

[@pauline-bc-com-missp]

Never gets old n nor does routine everyday Ben

[@Mindmaid1]

Filming, your day, seeing pets, farm animals,scenery, watching the kids grow up, the chores, etc, etc, is satisfying to me

[@brokenmeats5928]

I love ALL Homestead Shop Talk Podcast videos!

[@vickimontgomery5271]

Still watching everything each of y'all post. 😂 you are harder on yourselves than we are. Loved Meg's video this week, Ben. Neber too much bacon! Inside projects round out the homestead and breaks are part of that. And this south Florida girl born in Hawaii would never go outside in your weather, Al. Happy, blessed New Year to you and your families!

[@elaineekberg113]

The pigs put on a bigger layer of fat being outside all Winter to keep them warming! Great idea Al!

[@gaylewatkins4685]

Great podcast!! Thanks for sharing your lifestyle. 🤗👏👏👏

[@klogns]

Hey,Ben when will we see your addition or progress on that addition? Very curious.

[@miephoex]

It’s been over a year and he doesn’t seem to have any ambition to finish it. 😢

[@debbieshort9660]

Good morning guys.

[@claudettehernandez3402]

Ostrich tastes very good. I had an Ostrich steak about 30 years ago and it was very reasonably priced meal back then at about $15

[@jeanoconnor3163]

I have to agree with Al. My Red Star and Black Star chickens out laid every other breed I had. I had leghorns, RIR, barred rocks, Silkies and wyandottes in addition to the Stars.

[@debbieshort9660]

I'm glad to watch you every time.

[@ronnielipsi8271]

Glad to listen to you guys. What ever you talk about keeps us like-minded people listening and laughing!! Keep it going ... 😁

[@SandraMalone-pq4mn]

Homesteader here in Central Maine, and love your shop talk podcasts!! I have been pleasantly surprised listening to you all and gaining wisdom from your chit-chat! Look forward to each new podcast! Happy Birthday to both Ben and Jason!! My brother raised ostrich for a bit, they are omnivores. Lay 1-2 eggs per week. Each egg equals a dozen chicken eggs. I personally do not prefer the taste of ostrich egg.

[@sherrycurp6555]

You could do an “odds n ends” themed video where you get a bunch of last little bits of projects done. So satisfying!

[@LB-gr7gu]

Al .. Canada here we have the same problem.. check where the problem was imported from 😮.. I will always watch whenever you guys get around to posting No pressure ❤ Happy New year 😅

[@deltorres2100]

Happy Friday Holiday Guys .. I’m glad ya all doing well and enjoying .. I Love the Weather even the Rain and a Bit Chilly ….,Hubby doesn’t like the Cold at all I tell him layers..

[@sandhollowhomestead6972]

New Year Resolution. One more cooler trailer... Life is Good 👍

[@davidgetchell3633]

NO, TWO more cooler trailers, one for Ben and one for Al. Or Al will start putting his cool-room together.

[@evalinawarne1337]

BLESSED NEW YEARS.

[@jaydjack6049]

Happy homesteading

[@Shibalvr]

Dont worry about repeating tasks as many of us miss episodes

[@katmccary]

Merry Christmas from grateful Pl., Farm.. you guys could make a video about finishing all your half done projects. Lol.. my husband needs the encouragement.. 😍

[@fraukeboge4231]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@rebekahmccaul]

Woo hoo🎉 best part of Saturday We went to Australian Bunnings today (hardware store!) thought of you all

[@marciasanderson562]

I just love you guys! You help me remember my older brothers sitting around shooting the breeze. I'll be 80 in January, great granddaughter of farmers, and I really look forward to your posts. I am so grateful that you take the time to share your adventures. Praying for many blessings to come all your way.

[@PamelaDraper-j8y]

Al, your barn addition is looking wonderful !! Keep warm ! Jason, Happy Birthday 🎂! Blueberry pie, oh my yumminess !! 🥧. Ben, nothing wrong with taking a break when your burnt out, we'll be waiting or better yet let the older boys film their jobs/adventures. Meg & Buggy cooking together I just love. Great podcast guys !!

[@DavidRobinson-mx6cl]

Happy New Year's guys , thanks for sharing with us !!!!! 🙏👍😊❤️

[@stephanieedmonds1667]

You all I watch all the show thank you all for them , hope you all a good year to come , Lucky in Candler NC

[@johnthompson3606]

Happy Birthday 🥳 Ben and Jason…. Happy New Year’s to everyone and their families 🎉🎉

[@gloriatwiggs467]

About those fence post guys. This old girl loves to watch The Waltons and the Pa Walton had a sawmill business and made the straightest fence post and the red headed son kept the fire under the tar bucket going and dipped a post into the bucket and when cooled loaded the old truck to take them to the army base. I love watching you guys.

[@gingin21jr]

Wish u all belated happy Christmas and and happy new year

[@KunesRGr8]

Hello 👋 guys, if you paint the part of the post that goes in the ground with roofing tar after charring them they will be rot resistant for at least a couple of decades. Oak or maple also makes really good posts 👍💪🙌🙏🌈✌️🐽🐷🐖

[@patticooper8703]

Love Al’s question “I wonder what they taste like”?

[@frenchysandi]

Alway interesting!!

[@edieboudreau9637]

Congratulations for finishing a year's worth of videos.

[@TXNLaurenMcN]

I have one New Year's Resolution every year: to pick and do at least one of the things on my to-do list every day. So far, that carries me about six months until I forget about it. It has helped me go gang-busters for the first 3-4 months, at least. ~ The one thing I never get tired of though is watching this podcast. I haven't missed one!

[@kellypetersen8204]

Thx for the farm wisdom. There is always something for this Cali girl to learn. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

[@cherylbertolini3140]

Happy Belated Birthday Jason

[@mspeedie52]

Just so you know -9 F is -22 C. 11 F is about -11C. I enjoy your podcasts as I also enjoy each of your channels and watch as soon they post. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to each of your families.

[@markpashia7067]

When Jason's trailer gives out, get a used U-Haul trailer that you can stand up inside and make it a cool box that you can hang the meat in.

[@patburgard2115]

Love watching your everyday chores or whatever is going on, it tells the peeps what homesteading is really all about 👍❤️

[@pennywillis8895]

🇦🇺When you have the slow times try a Q&A, talk about what you have learned over the years what you wish you knew when you started, tools you wish you had, How you planned the layout of your homestead, books you recommend and why,

[@miephoex]

Much respect Al and Jason for your accomplishments this year. Happy New Year 🎉

[@Robin-f8w]

One of you has been working and filming, Go Lumnah! 😂

[@jackoxenrider2886]

Lighting is the key! Mine come on at 4am and stay on till after sunrise😀

[@davidgetchell3633]

When your coup has no windows the lights have to stay on all day !

[@luclion7163]

Good thing Ben is there to keep you two straight.,.,.,..Fun to watch a good probcast like yours,,,,,,,Happy new year you all.

[@diannemiller4754]

Great idea Al. Maybe they will start getting quality fence posts. I'm looking forward to the new year 2025 of more of you all. Thanks

[@margaretbedwell3211]

Top of the list for Jason....new AC unit for the cooler and most definitely a tractor. I can remember in the early years o watching Al, it seemed like he plowed snow every morning before he started his chores. I thought at the time, I could not live with that much snow or cold. We are pretty lucky in the area of Virginia where I live, our temps are more moderate, snow is few and far between, and that is just fine with me now. Y'all have a happy New Year with your families. I'm looking forward to Ben getting that room finished before gardening season. 😄😄😄

[@davidgetchell3633]

poor Jason, "NO TRACTOR" , Ben has ONE and that Al, he has "THREE" !!!

[@purplesquirrel34]

Congrats: 18 months and going. 😊

[@shandysgarden]

All the little nuggets that you sprinkle throughout this whole show are priceless! Even if I'm seeing the same things over and over again it's reminding me that this is the lifestyle I'm getting into, myself! I regularly watch around 30 channels now. Everything repeats on a homestead year-over-year but there's always something new to learn! Anyone who is just looking for the next update, disinterested in the rest, must have their lives 1,000 percent together and their noses in the air...or don't actually have a homestead or dreaming of a homestead!😂

[@kathycrook1913]

Hi guys!

[@marilynclayton3430]

Happy birthday! Blueberry pie is a childhood favorite. In Alaska blueberry picking is essential for fruit in winter. Happy holidays!🎄

[@mikecote2165]

Happy new year guys love listening to your podcast

[@markpashia7067]

This is one more than a year and a half. Well done guys!

[@Mekare40503]

Happy Birthday Jason! I am 1 month older than you are! 🎉

[@josephpedone2004]

Good morning guys ☕️ happy Friday, it’s been a great year. Few setbacks but got through it. Have a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year 😎👍

[@jbbrown7907]

Jason, I talked to the Amishmen i hauled this morning about this being fence building season. He was going to dig a few post holes this afternoon.

[@maryjaynejordan]

I was watering the dairy cows a few days ago and I noticed a tag that was attached to a post that said: “J.Neils Lumber Company 1950 Cedar Poles, Libby, Montana”. Wow! That post is older than me and still serving its purpose as a corner post. You guys grow cedars there so task Ben with the chainsaw job of turning them into long lasting posts.

[@amyfreedomluvr5277]

Thank you, gentlemen. I've enjoyed all the Shop Talk discussions throughout the year. Best wishes for every happiness and success in the new year. I look forward to hearing about them on upcoming Fridays. Peace, love and blessings to you and yours.

[@mkkelly2138]

Happy Birthday to Ben and Jason. Wishing you all and your families a very Happy New Year. 🎉🎂🥂🍾🍻

[@biskero]

Any of you looking at eV tractors or other vehicle for the homestead? Happy new year!

[@davidgetchell3633]

Stony ridge farmer was given one to try and show off. After a few months of use he wasn't impressed with it and went to send it back and there was NO MORE Co., he may still have it !!

[@garyjinontariony]

Happy Birthday Jason,, bigg hugg God Bless ya

[@tinatippin5705]

Here in Washington State, we just paid $10.49 for 16 eggs. They were $8.69 2 days before Christmas. I am fully expecting $12 by the first of the year. It's going to be a very interesting New Year. Getting back to real food and preserving it without fear is exciting. Happy New Year you three!

[@miephoex]

I paid $2.89 on sale last week. Regular price $4.29 here in California.

[@sw9495]
