This is an amazing documentary. I enjoyed it so much, that I am watching it a second time! We are in our 50's already and want to spend the rest of our lives living like these people. We've just spent our 3rd summer staying on our property in a 19ft camper with an outdoor shower and composting toilet, while we build our house and start establishing gardens. eta 👍🌲🎥

Likewise! We moved from the UK to Ireland two and a half years ago to start a smallholding (homestead). We're now 59 and 60, and keep chickens, ducks, sheep, goats, and bees. There's a huge polytunnel and a fledgling garden. It's frustrating at times (rats ate all our potatoes and swede, before we were able to harvest them), but we can't imagine doing anything else now.

Love this! I have been homesteading on various lots since 2008 and there’s always more to learn. Barbara is amazing. So much knowledge and experience. And I love that’s she’s vegan. There’s a lot of emphasis on animal production for meat, vegan homesteading is underrepresented in the community imo.

There are many takeaways from this documentary. One of the most eye opening for me was the example of how the additives put in grocery store bread can prevent our bodies natural bacteria from doing their jobs. Absolutely mind blowing. Can't thank you enough for a sobering and yet very inspiring documentary.

That struck me too. I’ve never heard it explained that way but it makes so much sense.

It’s not just the bread. It’s every single food with a list of ingredients that you don’t recognize.

This is basically how humans have lived until recently. If I were young again I would absolutely love to do this! I love the homesteader mentality, ethics and asthetic.

I started homesteading at 71. If you’re strong and healthy, it’s never too late! I got chickens ten years ago, and slowly started growing some things. Last year, I started creating a food forest with small tree guilds. One worked really well, the others need work - mostly a lack of sun, because my fruit trees are already mature. Thank you for this awesome documentary. Most homesteaders have very different politics from me (I am very politically active), and it’s really hard for me to learn from people whose lack of empathy and humanity I detest.

A focus on growing perennials and trees can help minimize the requirement to always be around every year for the planting season. Also, in many zones, there really are crops that can over winter. Self seeding can grow another wild garden. Maybe not all that you would want, but a lot of edibles.

Thanks for this beautiful docu. work on homesteading and alternative living. Great rhythm, narration and beautiful pictures. Well done ! What a privilege to *have* ( or rent or share ) enough land available to grow your own food and talking about the social and economic dimension of it. Thanks, Mike

Very inspiring. Thank you. We live on a small suburban lot but have started to make some strides towards these things. Growing some veggies and perennial fruits. Planted fruit trees which will be espaliered because we just don’t have the room. I’ve learned how to water bath can, dehydrate, blanching & freezing, next year will learn pressure canning. We buy our milk from a local dairy that comes in glass milk jugs that get returned and reused. I found out I’m no good at composting but my community offers a compost service which I patronize. I’m learning to mend, alter & sew my own clothes. Hopefully one day we can buy a bigger piece of land and jump right into more ambitious goals. Really though it’s about creating some insurance for our family. Who knows what’s going to happen to our food and quality of life in the future. I would like our kids to know how to grow, cook and preserve, sew and mend, build and have some basic skills to get by if it ever came to it. There really is so much to learn and master that creating a mutually beneficial community makes the most sense. That’s been the hardest part so far. Finding those people around me. But I’m going to keep looking. ❤

Great homesteading video packed full of information with beautiful visual of veggies, berries and fruit trees. Thank you for the adventure of watching the homesteaders

Homesteading to me is really just producing some of what you consume at home. It is a sliding scale and looks different based on talent, interest, education, time, ability, finances etc. Gardening can be part of that, but other examples are producing electricity or heat instead of consuming it from the grid, making clothing instead of purchasing it from a retail market, buying food in bulk and adding value at home by processing it further through canning, freezing, and fermenting. There is no single definition of what successful homesteading looks like right now. It is more about curating the experiences and life you want to live.

Exactly I was just expressing the same sentiments to my husband...not everyone wants to go into homesteading to milk cows. For example I want to make tents, build furniture, grow fruit trees on my homestead and do experiments to create new foods. Do your own thing suited to your true passion. Not follow others

Thank you… I feel so much better. My container garden and newly canned jam, almond milk made with the help of my Nama, using up instead of throwing out, eating from scratch, making my own compost, all from my small house in BK NY, I feel like I belong💐

Me too! I sold my house march 2023, bought raw land, live in a purpose - built 280 sqft tiny cabin and I'm committed... It's slow going and hard work and I wish I did more, faster but I'm OK with a bit of a slower pace now. It is how I choose to live. Follow me is you'd like to!

These are good examples of homesteading outside of city centers. Land availability is hard to obtain and even more so in the cities. In our urban neighborhood we applied for a land acquisition grant and created Puget Ridge Edible Park, a Seattle City Park. This is a 2/3 acre urban farm and food forest that anyone can harvest from. Any community organized group could pursue this when vacant lots, unmaintained open space or dwelling collapse occurs in their neighborhood. Just be determined.

Oh she’s in the PNW. Cool. She must have the same weather as me . Lately I’m thinking either more and more people I think it’s better to be less dependent on my country. I’ve semi done this off and on but I want to make my dirt better for growing. That’s what I’m trying to learn . I’ve picked berries every year and made jams and froze them and a few other things but I’d like to expand that.

Let’s consider life a challenge. At 18, you leave home with nothing but the clothes on your back, and by 30, you get married and start a family. Life becomes twice as hard, so it’s wise to prepare a plan for self-sufficiency at home to reduce dependence on the market. And it’s not that difficult, because Mother Nature always provides for us.

I'd just like to say, people can make and discover technologies that are very much like computer technology and solar technology, that go a long side what your doing and fit well for the planet. People don't realize that we can discover more technologies that are green, and I know that past civilizations that were very intune with the earth had their own advanced technologies.

These people are wonderful mentors! Just before this podcast popped up I listened to another one and the subject was about A.I. and the host explained that a "A.I. system" he is working with "scares him" with it's abilities. If it scares him it scares me too! He runs a high-tech lab and is into healthy organics. Someone told me that "Technology" only goes in one direction...forward. I don't think it's necessarily a good thing, especially my personal financial cost of it. Where's the 'LINE"? I can understand it's usage for people with disability and the medical fields...but not in the take over of the human race that robs us of our voice, creativity, privacy and right to be here.

@homegrownshow Ай бұрын

Powdered sugar. It's used as a method of coaxing the bees to groom each other which can help them remove and subsequently control mites in a hive. It won't stop a full blown outbreak but can effectively help the hive shed a smaller mite load.
