How do you make the giggle juice?? Lol

[@StiversHomestead]

😂❤️

[@GreenWitchHomestead]

I think it's the endorphins from all the hard work!!

[@1gr8lpta]

Ya know that is a really good question. You need to do a video on a recipe for giggle juice!

[@sweetearthfarm]

I can't breathe! I'm laughing too hard. Literally crying. 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

[@gendeb9666]

Makes me kind of curious about what else was in that juice 😜

[@jamellhart]

When Jen crouched down...."That's not creepy at all!!!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@carolyoung3793]

You two are the best where else can you learn a recipe and have a comedy show at the same time lol you make me smile tfs xx

[@larryreeves1477]

We love Christmas with our kids even though they are around 30 years old now. Every since they were old enough to play board games we would play a game and if the kids won they would get to open a gift but if me and my wife won they would have to Waite 10 minutes to open a gift. To this day we still look forward to spending several hours playing board games for the gifts on Christmas.

[@StiversHomestead]

That is really awesome Larry

[@kelliebaranowski]

I can't thank you enough for these how to videos!! You might not realize, but its changing the way so many live and helping us take control of our health-naturally. Just....thank you.

[@victoriabryce1683]

Oh and AGAIN thank you for the shoutout to Fermented Homestead, I can easily see her channel becoming one of my new favorites!

[@lorip938]

Y'all just crack me up! Jesus birth is paramount to everything you just have to have a balance. Celebrate Christmas and wrap all those gifts and decorate everything. Those kiddos will be grown before you know it. Then a lot of the magic goes out of it when they're on their own. We just didn't have the heart for it just for hubby and I for about 6-8 years... But then you have grand babies and then Christmas magic is back again. Enjoy all of it. Y'all give us such joy. Blessings to you and yours💜

[@julierowdon3631]

I love watching y'all. You are always smiling and laughing. I made your calandula salve and sent it to my niece who has a daughter that suffers from eczema. She said it's working!!! I'm learning so much from y'all. I am in Tennessee. 😊 Thank you for bringing fun to my day😍

[@danetteepperly6917]

You 2 are so cute love your channel I hope you do sale your stuff because for me it’s easier to buy than make it and I love how Jen let’s you know what in it so please do sale your food because I will be buying it ...and you put so much love into it ...love seeing you 2 laugh makes me laugh with you guys and that’s what this world of ours needs more people like you guys ...thank you

[@jamiebjorklund288]

Hey Zach and Jenn, I really needed to see a video like this today. Thank you for making me laugh keeping it light. (Hugs)

[@rhondakingayres5142]

I think Jenn should write a small book on teas, tinctures, salves, syrups and ciders. I could be a small paperback like Sarah from Living Traditions did with her rabbit recipes. It would be a good little side $ maker!

[@jenntyler5146]

You guys had me laughing so hard I was Crying LOL!!! As always, love you guys

[@MsLippy]

Mr. Wyatt You are awesome.!!!! Ms. Lippy is so proud of you.

[@MustangSally7259]

Jen...went to fermenting homestead and love the channel. Thanks for referring!

[@beblessed3227]

OMG...LOL..I am a new subscriber..have been binge watching off and on the past 36 hours ..Thank you for being normal ..l have laughed hysterically so much...l also seriously appreciated the video about the present craziness ...your right l am 58 yrs old and can do nothing but let go let GOD and pray ...thanks for the reminder ...BE BLESSED

[@zaviahopethomas-woundedsou9848]

If you made knoxx blox with your elderberry syrup your kids would love it!

[@debbiemusgrove676]

Elderberry grows wild all over the US. I would check your property thoroughly. I just discovered this year that birds have gifted me three elderberry bushes. Once you have one you can make cuttings and have more free elderberry.

[@memawlisa]

I'm laughing so hard I'm crying!!! Y'all are adorable!

[@GreenWitchHomestead]

Pigs in water. The danger is definitely there. The problem with pigs is that they prefer to defecate in the water. They will definitely pack the soil around Pond, but they'll turn it into a mud wallow. So you will need a source of fresh drinking water. If you want to use the pond for anything down the line you'll have to remove the pigs and drain and scrape the pond and allow it to fill back up. The biggest danger is where the Watershed from that pond goes. does it seep into the groundwater? because if it goes towards your property it could make your other animals sick.

[@rebeccafoust2963]

another potential from the "runoff" as well as the seepage into groundwater that could contaminate someone's well - it reminded me of all the years being able to play in the creek- until we started getting sick- It did not take Dad long to figure it out... contamination up the line from animals... needless to say- we were not allowed in the creek after that.

[@darlenesgardenandhome]

LOL You guys are goofy today, but totally awesome.

[@fallenangelwi25]

That's awesome, thank you. Could also make elderberry pancake syrup so the kids get it in their system easier

[@sheriewilkie1493]

I laughed so hard while watching y’all try to navigate through this video! 🤣🤣 really needed to see this today for laughter! It’s just as good for the soul as elderberry 💕

[@kathygarber9407]

Not a pig farmer but I do know from growing up on a farm, that pigs can seal a pond very well. They can clear the pond area quickly and get fat doing it. A win win ! Be blessed !We did 3 gifts ...it's the birthday of Jesus and the three wise men brought him a gift each ...Gold , Frankincense and Myrrh!

[@garyb4929]

For the pond, Contact a water well driller(if you have one on area)& get some barite, broadcast/spread over pond, it'll settle and help seal. thats what its used for in drilling, I would keep hogs out, but might contact your state ag extension service possibly. I discovered i have some elderberry plants given to me(didn't know what they were) need plant. Thanks for sharing.

[@terricotter6545]

thanks for the tip about the honey

[@jakewoods5325]

"Self sufficient me" is a great channel as well!

[@staceywishart9971]

Y’all are a joy to watch. All the laughing and giggling is so refreshing and fun to watch. I make the elderberry syrup and have for a 3-4 years. You could try to make the gummies for the kiddos. It’s very easy. Just a little more time to make. I add a 1/2 of blueberries to my elderberries just to make a little more “berry” flavored. Kid friendly. Anyway, I so enjoy watching y’all.

[@cathiegalbraith475]

Stacey Wishart how long will the syrup last in the fridge

[@staceywishart9971]

Cathie Galbraith I’ve had it for a couple months in fridge. This time of year it is used up before that. I don’t use as big a recipe as they do for here though.

[@ljmike5519]

You two are amazing. Nice you both have so much fun. Blessings.

[@TheBigBlueHouseHomestead]

You are going to have to tell more about your dream homestead. I've heard you say alot that you always wanted to be with your family, on that property. You quickly said "No", and moved on. This would make a great video during winter down time.

[@michelerucker3755]

You two are a couple of giggle boxes😂😂😂 God bless you guys😇😇😇

[@jo2sj490]

Thank you for sharing this recipe. It's so true that one small jar is expensive. God bless you guys.

[@marcielliott9700]

Y'all are a hoot! Love y'all! Bright Blessings.

[@zaviahopethomas-woundedsou9848]

You can fix you pond with bentonite clay. Google it and include the word pond with it as it is also used for many other things.

[@Monkeybunch100]

Oh you two have been drinking some cider, alright! LOL Crackin me up!

[@danaoneal6772]

OMG you had me laughing until I cried.

[@StiversHomestead]

😂😂

[@PrepsteadingWithBelinda]

I was waiting for pancakes didn't know it was medicine lol. You kids are so cheerful love watching you, don't always comment but I watch a lot.Kids are adorable

[@karenhernke281]

You guys and your giggles....just crack me up...what you all drinking before this video...I want some!!! lol Great video. I think I pay almost 20 bucks for a very small jar. This was a great video. Way to go Wyatt...you the man!!! Greetings from Wisconsin!!! Karen

[@MustangSally7259]

I'll try it! Thank you!

[@TheTinkerersWife]

You're giggling was hysterical on this one. 🤣🤣🤣 Your crazy video foibles probably tell others they can do this too! You do Christmas much like I always did. For me now celebrating Jesus is a way of life every day. It wasn't always that way for but most of my adult life has been. Santa was downplayed some and time spent for remembering the Christmas story.

[@MustangSally7259]

Your kids are so precious!

[@christycoalson36]

I love you guys 😂 so fun to watch... Thank you for the recipe 💖

[@Sammie_Jo_1982_Homestead]

I just love you two, you always make my heart smile,

[@rebeccafoust2963]

Speaking of Christmas and Santa... When my son aged out of the Santa part of Christmas, (both of us were very sad with the end of that part of our Christmas) he approached me with the question of his being my Santa .... talk about reigniting the excitement ...

[@patmaier6917]

Rebecca Foust= SWEET!

[@rebeccafoust2963]

@@patmaier6917 That was a fun filled Christmas... The childhood excitement of anticipation returned that had been missing... our gift exchange- me to him... a pool table (free- someone's discard- still usable with a little work) with new accessories and him to me- a back massager, dart board set and race car set... we spent many hours together playing and enjoying each other's company...

[@zaviahopethomas-woundedsou9848]

You two are so much fun!

[@BigDreamsTinyBudget]

You two are always so fun to watch! Happy and giggly most of the time its like a breath of fresh air!

[@sarahdawson5349]

Y'all are hilarious! Thanks for the video. 💛

[@idahohoosier8989]

Y'all are a riot! Why are y'all making so much? Are you freezing it? Sharing it? I believe its good for about 45 days. Please share your knowledge. Thank you

[@kitchenscratch8374]

You both always crack me up, just love your videos ❤

[@pamt8430]

Love this stuff!!! Stinks to high heaven without the spices or not enough of the spices...1st time I made it Hubby wore a mask....LOL!!! It's Great if you're around Kiddos that are in school/pre-school. Sometimes you can catch the Elderberries in the 'off season' a bit cheaper on amazon. Frontier is a good brand too.

[@roxannahendrix3036]

I just love it when you two get all giggly and crazy. You made my day.

[@marilynhuffman1059]

[@jemmiestone3496]

Awesome video guys. You two made me laugh so hard in parts. I just love watching Y'all. Thank you for sharing with us. I really enjoyed the get to know you questions to. God Bless Y'all.

[@AlpacaMade]

Who cares if I learned anything, I came for folks who cannot stop laughing ;) That's good medicine! "A merry heart does good like medicine."[pp] Seriously, the Firecider vid reminded me I have apple cider vinegar fermenting for seven months on my counter & I need to get at it. Yesterday I wasn't feeling all that swift, I remembered you all and dipped into the last of my stash which is three years old. A double shot plus about two hours and I felt fine again. I'm not saying I was getting sick. I am saying like always, I try to power through; in this instance double shot, two hours & I felt fine. Yes, I did learn exactly what I wanted to know; Elderberry Syrup. Thank You!

[@samanthatorres9517]

Y'all! I'm busting a gut, you guys are soooooo funny🤣

[@sharonpack4696]
