I enjoy watching Meg do her thing in the kitchen. Cooking, canning, making bread, food preservation etc.. She could be washing dishes and I’d watch!! Go Meg! 💝

[@Joe-n6l]

Yeah she's a working Machine and not lazy like Ben seems to be getting lately.

[@rosasalas1437]

Love your flowers Meg and Ben Love to see your Videos Thk u sharing with me.

[@teresawalters1070]

@@Joe-n6llove how you know this by watching a 20 minute video, these are only snippets of what really happens.

[@Joe-n6l]

@@teresawalters1070 Well whoever you are I don't know where you get 20 minutes of video but I have been watching this family since day one that they started out.

[@renaebettenhausen3611]

One thing I love about watching Meg is the subtle message that Meg' work on the homestead is as important as Ben's work. I have noticed on other homesteader channels that do not show the work the women do, there are frequent comments that the women needs to do some of the work the men are doing. Including the work Meg is doing in the vlogs emphasizes that Meg is equally important to Ben's work.

[@tess5564]

I love the example you are setting for your boys Ben. You and Meg are teaching all of your kids such independence and self confidence and I admire you both so much.

[@normamason3185]

Thank you for praying for your food, and showing your faith daily.

🤞 Hoping the coming rains & wind from Helene do only minimal damage to the homestead. Looks like you're in her path. Be safe. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍

Mother Nature has such an imagination where Her blooms are concerned. Lovely!

[@BiterAvid]

I watch a guy who does charity lawn care for people in need. Some are unsold houses in the neighborhood and no one is taking care of the yards; others are people who become ill or have had old age creep up on them. Anyway, he gets revenue of course from his youtube videos of these buried yards. Very satisfying as a form of ASMR. Your weed eating had the same effect. And then you topped it off with the most delicious Fancy Ramen. Those were some gorgeous Noodle Bowls.

[@SweetStuffSuzie]

Yes looks like Ben needs help . 😂 😂 good thing people are coming over or it would keep building up 😅

[@amcpops]

It's about time y'all posted. Many of us have been needing our homesteading "fix".😉 Most glad to hear that you had a fabulous vist with family. The example you set about family priorities is over the top.

[@jacquethirlkel3001]

Glad you had a good visit with the grandparents! Yes there comes a time to deal with clutter and junk. You are not messy , just human. Thanks for bringing us along with your work and family life. God bless!

There's something about the cooler autumn weather that lends itself to cleaning up & organizing. Looks good. 👍

[@tinatippin5705]

Love the music, Meg. It always means the guys are working hard. Things are looking great. And look at your girls grow. Have a blessed week.

[@StoneKathryn]

I'm so glad you had a nice visit with your parents Ben. It sounds like you got some quality time with them. Yes, projects get done and the clean-up gets forgotten. Great, the good weed wacker started! It's got to feel good getting all those weeds cut down. Cool, goji berries growing. That area you did next looks pretty good too. Well, you tried to chip the bamboo. That was cool that Tyler wanted to do it. Fire works well. Getting the pallets all together is a good move too. Getting that all moved down to the pit does make it look better near the barn. Yum, fancy ramen for dinner! Nice, Ben is grilling the steak! Was that biscuit steaks? I like your bowls. Great find at an auction Meg. Thanks for this video Hollar family!

[@ChristinaMoore79]

Hey Ben, what about utilizing the old farmhouse for storage, since you guys won't be living in it? And Meg cooking is always a joy.

[@denisewilson8367]

Supper looked yummy especially the steak. Clean up in the spring and again in the fall helps to keep everything under control. You've got 4 boys that can each have a job to help keep the outside organized. Once a week for an hour or two and you'd have a neat yard. They can mow lawn weed whack and clean up tools & materials. That would free you up a bit too, Ben. Weekly chores are good for kids.

Ben, I'm surprised you aren't using those stainless equipment in your barn for processing. Easy to clean & ready to use. Just a thought. Bamboo is too fiberous to chip up. 😣. Use the large logs to support your hillside along your road, like you did further up the hill. The place is looking very organized. 😊.

“A creative mess is better than idle tidiness” Michael JFox. My home and small garden if full to the brim with creative mess. I’d love tidy but I’m so busy creating. No time for tidying when I can sow seeds and create things from yarns no produce. And be a parent a wife and work too. I just choose the fun top 10 jobs on my list the rest will sort itself out eventually 🌻🌺🐞🌱

Wire brushes always fun in welding shops. Also very fun when it finds your way from the grill or worse in your food. Brass brushes are a horrible grilling mistake. Especially with kids.

October is our month to get all our wood cut and split for the winter and to clean up our yard. We have to dedicate this time or it doesn't get done. Dang, Those stainless steel tables are something we would also love to have. Makes for good butchering stations. We've got an abundance of sunchokes. They are so beautiful when in full bloom and our honey bees love them. Either the chickens or some other varmints are eating the roots before we can get to them. 😂😂😂

Nice yard clean up Ben, and boys. I believe you don't have a homestead/farm unless you have piles of stuff in places on your property. Right now were ripping apart several pallets to make a winter cat house for the stray cat who adopted us. She's out grown her cooler house. Homemade ramen soup yummy.
