McGie Homestead Labor Day Celebration!

[@charlessavoie2367]

It's a true moment of magic when Porky Pig gets harvested for the dinner table! Wild or farm raised, pigs are for our protein needs. HAPPY DAY HOGS!!

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

That’s absolutely true!

Hey Mr. McGie!!!! I’m growing my own tea for harvesting…..just got my plants all potted this week! You can take that item off the grocery store list too!!! It’s a plant Called: Camellia Sinensis

[@kaitlynlsari681]

Well in three years anyway. If you cover your tea plants with shade cloth in the spring you'll get a tea that isn't as bitter as normal. Specialty Japanese tea growers do this to make premium grade matcha tea but they prefer stone ground green sweet tea. If you want dark tea you'll have to ferment it but there's plenty of how too videos on KZbin on how to go about small batch processing your own tea😄👍

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Sounds amazing!

[@xkitchick]

@@kaitlynlsari681 thanks for the tip. I make kombucha weekly for gut health. My trees already have 10+ leaves and I’m super familiar with fermentation so, I’m excited to see progress from my trees as soon as next fall. I also have 2 greenhouses here on the property to extend the growth of my plants. I’m hopeful :)

[@willcountymark356]

You're making me hungry again. Happy Labor Day to you all. 👍💯🙏

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Same to you!

[@michaelmosley254]

Yep your right when I was coming up I didn't know there was a sweet corn

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Young people nowadays have no clue how it was just a few years ago!

[@TennesseeMtnMan]

[@thecamocowboyoutdoors5693]

You sure have some tall corn! Should have told Frank that there was going to be a piece of bacon and then he would have stayed. Sometimes we have a meal where everything on the table we produced ourselves. Nice having meals like that. Happy Labor day Folks!

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

You got that right! Thanks so much and have a great evening!

[@joshuafulgham494]

Field corn is awesome! I love it

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

It really is!

[@greenboyatgafarms2250]

We use a creamer to cream corn. Whether it be filled corn or sweet corn. I grew up eating field corn that was creamed. Your corn looks really good. I've got around a 100 pounds of Appalachian Air loom, white corn For seed that looks like some of your Guatemala and corn. I think I'm going to try to cross breed. My white corn with some Dixie 18 yellow corn next year. Happy Labor's Day, I'm also cooking. 2 big Boston butts off one of our hogs, we harvestoday today.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Oh you’re gonna have a great day!!! I truly enjoy crossing corn and seeing the results!

[@beeamerica5024]

Perfect Labor Day video showing off all of your hard work and genius ideas 👍😉🐝

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@leannpetersfreeman8039]

My grand father always grew field corn and we always cut it off the cob and cream style field corn. I tried to grow some this year and it seems to Be growing well maybe I’ll have some fresh corn this fall.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

That’s awesome!!! Maybe it’ll get ready in time for a Labor Day celebration! One note I must tell you…… the field corn has a very small window of opportunity when it is actually good for this……. It gets hard very quickly, so when you determine that it is ready…… jump on it!

[@timothymerritt659]

We use to pick field corn while it wàs tender and roast it with shuck on it on grill I loved it and grandma always pickle a big crock full of field corn it was delicious too

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Sounds great!

[@stevenwalker7928]

Field corn is my favorite I still grow it and cream it, you need a corn cutter it really handy and fast

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Yes indeed!

[@jerrybinkley9227]

Happy labor day

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Thank you!

[@mikes1345]

We grew and ate yellow dent corn growing up. Picked it and cooked on the cob or kernels were seperated and canned for winter meals. Now you tell me its feed corn!! The sweet corn now is just too sweet but all i find at grocery so it must do.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

The younger generation has no concept of what you’re saying!😂

[@southernstylehomesteadAL]

another great video

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Jamestrent9]

Touchdown!🎉

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Oh man! Right on it without so much as a warning!😂😂😂

[@rickeyboatright6237]

Im glad you explained that. I was about to scream on this message to make corn on the cob. Probably wouldn't be good as a corn on the cob.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

It would be some pretty rough going!😂😂😂

[@TimBeverly]

We are in Gatlinburg TN for a few days. Hummm I think we are coming over to your place for dinner.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

😂😂😂 awesome!!!

[@jimjohn1002]

Man ol son

[@lytlelynch9784]

Yup i grew up eating yellow field corn. Not sweer but i think its got good flavor

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

And it’s very filling! Takes care of a working man and woman’s appetite!!!

[@spindaddy]

Happy Labor Day Micah, Thanks for the vids.. Get yourself a bundt pan, rest the cob on the hole and remove from cob its actually a nice way to not send corn everywhere too

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Thanks for the tip!

[@DaveBenes]

Good job 👍👍 Do you have a video on your smoker build? On my winter to do list 👍

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

I didn’t build this smoker…… I got it from a guy that builds them in Decatur Tn.

[@jonathanboerema2872]

Thanks again for showing me what buck bord beacon, I make about a 150 bucks extra a month just honking my co works up with it . I have been smoking fish from years just something new. They bring me the meat I provide the spices and the smoke in my time it's a good deal all around.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Oh my that’s awesome!!!

[@pacomapacoma5285]

Idk if they still make it but right brain brewery in traverse city , michigan makes a mangalista pig porter. It's a dark beer made with smoked mangalista pig heads and bones. Been a few years since I had it but it was an annual event when they made it. Kinda of similar tasting to those smoked German beers.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

That’s the wildest thing I’ve ever heard! I’d try it!😂

[@ervinesprouse3041]

The meal looks delicious Micah! I hope you and your family have a wonderful Labor Day! And the corn is looking awesome!!

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Thank you! I’m excited about it!

[@shannons1301]

Wow that looked great and Frank passed up on that, eventually we want to get some land and get some mangalitza pigs, I was thinking of trying to bread them to Idaho pasture pigs and see if you would get a fatty pig with more meat, hope you had a great labor day

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

I’m pretty sure those will make some great pork!

[@jonathanmosteller9123]

Hard to beat that real corn taste. Yall ever tried it fried with bacon fat? We plant hastings prolific and it's good. Makes good grits and cornmeal to.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Oh my that’s delicious!!!

[@hopemorrison2367]

Corn silk tea is good for kidney problems

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

That’s very true!!!

[@ryburnsjr]

Yummy...missed my invite !!...

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Sorry!😜

[@donniecarter4981]

Try some of that camp dog seasoning in your corn.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

You’re absolutely right! I’ve been putting butter or mayo on roasting ears and hitting it with the camp dog….. absolutely delicious!

[@MynewTennesseeHome]

I like field corn fried, I've never tried it creamed. I don't know how people eat those reapers, I can't do anything hotter than jalapeno peppers. That all looks real good !

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

That was a great meal! I I’d know the corn was going to set up I’d have thrown a couple eggs in there and some diced jalapeños!!!

[@Stockcreekhomestead]

Wow your corns amazing. Question for you where did you get your starter seed for your corn the Guatemalan one. Oh and one more thing all that food and you didn’t even invite me

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

I got the seeds from a man that has friends down in Guatemala

Hey Bro. Micah. Corn is looking A ok!! Crimson Power!! Personally don’t believe in celebrating government holidays, but I enjoyed watching you and your family enjoying your Labor Day celebration.

Well this happened on Saturday so technically we didn’t either 😂😂😂

How’s the spring house project coming along?

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

I’m working on it just about every day!

[@AaricHale]

I really enjoyed the video ! The meal turned out looking amazing ! So the pure purple seed was crossed as well? From what I can tell you're getting some massive ears as well from the cross . I have eaten a few ears like sweet corn and it tastes pretty dang good if you Dr. it up a little . That Reaper would have killed me lol . Thanks for sharing and have a great Labor Day !

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Yes, I am amazed at the size of the ears on that purple white yellow cross! That is a good good combination!

[@MrOtis1956]

Is it Milo's sweet tea? That might be a bit too sweet for your tastes. As usual, I enjoyed the video and a view of the family enjoying the fruits of the family labor.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Oh no we brew our black tea here with well water!

[@jimjohn1002]

Don't ever tell a secret In or near a corn field

[@stevekulbacki5238]

Does that pokeweed berry really help arthritis? How often should I take one?

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Take 8 berries per day for 3 days (don’t chew the seeds!) Don’t take any more until your pain returns.

[@kaitlynlsari681]

CAROLINA REAPER PEPPER 🥵🙅 Do not want. Weve had six bottles of Carolina reaper pepper sauce sitting on the shelf of our local supermarket in Alexandra and NOBODY wants a bar of it.😮 Love your smoke tank😂 you Americans never do anything small, do you.
