What a lifetime of memories this visit will result in!!! Those kids will have major bragging rights back home.

“Where was I before the pig fight…?” You make me laugh, Sarah! Love the bookmark idea. Let us know when your handmade items are available. 🇨🇦

Will do!!

What a lovely visit from lukes family. Molly was loving all the attention. I could sit and watch your goats frolics all day, such comical creatures.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Oh yes Molly is such an attention hog ❤️

[@RedPhone-mz5lv]

Luke's mum is amazing walking in such rough terrain at 70 lovely looking as well ,Molly seemed to love chasing around with Jake

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Thank you from Luke's Mum ❤️❤️ Every night i have to chase Molly around the car quite a few times, after our long walks. She just loves being chased and is so happy when new people come visit and they can chase her too

[@elainemcgran8828]

Is she really 70? No way, she looks amazing and no way looks 70.

@@elainemcgran8828 I know it is crazy but it is true ❤❤

[@jamespierce-tg7we]

Rainy day here so been catching up on some of your videos I have missed. Was considering what you said about your goals to grow your own grain next year. I mentioned millet to you already and would also consider oats and peas planted together. The oats become the peas trellis. There is also the wheat with alfalfa following I mentioned, do they grow winter wheat in Portugal. You could also consider potatoes, they work well for pig feed once you cook them. The traditional method was to throw a bunch in a big pot and boil them up over a fire. Throw some peas and oats in and you got a pretty good piggy porrage. But the idea that perhaps would be worth a small experiment for you guys would be walking stick cabbage. It was grown on the channel islands, primarily on Jersey. The farmers grew large patches of this cabbage. They would harvest the lower leaves to feed to their jersey cows. The plants get very tall and when done the Islanders would dry out the stalks which took some time. They then made them into walking sticks and sold them to tourists I am no expert on these but wonder if they might be perfect for you guys if you can get it to work. Feed your stock and sell the sticks on your Etsy store. 🤔 I know that they even dug the plants up and planted them again the next year at an angle so they could grow the cane handle into the walking stick. Hope it helps and if you look up the cabbage it's a really cool read

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

We will definitely look this up it sounds awesome Thanks James

[@janicegartner5711]

Glad you had such a great visit. Luke has a good looking family …his Mom is beautiful! All my best from Canada!

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Thank you so much! and yes she really is inside and out❤️❤️

[@solarlifeportugal657]

How lovely to see Luke's family replete with pork pie hat and a mum who can do boulder ally at 70 (I know where Luke gets it from!) - With Luke's as tour guide and chef and your unbridled enthusiasm Sarah and the spectacular land you have they must be planning their next trip! The Korean video was awesome - just loved the goat names and personalities on the edit - so nice for Luke's mum to see how amazing you are. You and Cinders are such fabulous friends - I hope you know how much you mean to both of us.

Lukes mother looks amazing no way is she 70. Come on Luck smoking in the house, who smokes in doors now a days especially in your home around non smokers. 😢. Love the relationship you both have with the animals. Watching from Ireland 😊

Really wonderful to see family with you on your land enjoying the life you've made for yourselves there. Were Mags & Peps feeling shy with folks? didn't see them come around for skritches from everyone. Aww, they still lie side by side like when they were newborn piglets, too cute, especially when you join them.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Yes they were huge attention hogs 🤣🤣 and Maggie slept next to Luke's dad while we went for a walk to the river

[@thewheallons]

Love the different editing of the vlog. Looks like you are also doing a story telling course, as these last few vlogs have had a different touch to them, that of a storyteller. Great to see Lukes family visiting you. Must have been lovely for you both to show them around. Your poor car, it survives the track of doom (before the digger sorted it) to face attack from the piggies! 🤣🤣 Good luck with the etsy store, you and Luke are very creative so I am sure you can make lots of products to sell. Have a great week

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Thanks Emma for the feedback , no storytelling course but glad you think that x

[@celiapereira5223]

Sarah and Luke you both are very creative and loved seeing your family Luke hope they can come and visit you more often...loved the video 👍💯🤗

[@meglange3595]

Ninja cat and dog, Ninja goats and Ninja piggies!! 🤣!! I didn't know grown pigs played like that. They're quite the athletes!! So nice to meet the family. Glad you all had such a nice visit. SUPER glad the well recovered and you're back to normal. 💧💧💧 Sarah, do you ever wish that you and Luke could be away from the farm together on holiday? As bonded as you are to your animals I'm thinking it would be rather difficult to find a farm sitter who could fill in for you. I can totally relate. I took care of everyone else's animals but when it came to my own I almost never let anyone else handle them. A sacrifice I was very willing to make, as you obviously are too. I really commend you for your commitment and dedication to them. It's lovely to see 😊👍. Have a wonderful week!! 🥰🌿♥️🌿🤗

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

I think Luke would like a nice long holiday away. I miss miss everyone if i have to leave the land for a few hours 🤣🤣

[@sondraflesch1463]

Ma, you are moving and looking great. I'm 71 & although a still crazy hard worker, I cannot hike ... Or look so good. Lovely family.

We are not holding things back from you we are just giving our patrons stuff we do not wish to share with everyone on youtube, not everything we share is for a big audience
