That’s awesome!! I love feeding a crowd! The food looks delicious! I spied Becky from Acre Homestead! How fun!

Me too, I think that was Becky's sister beside her too.

Yes, she was there with her sister. It would have been nice if she had been acknowledged.

I saw Becky from Acre Homestead in your class how awesome she was there learning. You do a wonderful job.

Wow, two of my favorite girls

I rewind (lol) to make sure it was her. It was cool to see her there, never know we might get to see her doing her own.

[@MrsPink64]

I saw her, then came to comments to make sure. ❤

[@rajinevin7273]

Buggy is so happy and loves to sing. she loves being outside, barefoot, with her Daddy. She is such a dear little child. I'm sure she has her "moments" like we all do - but she is so, so precious. I cannot wait to see how she does with her new sibling and I do so hope and pray it is a girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@justme-uw6bz]

Secretly hoping for a little girl too.

Yay! Great video. We love the cookbook. Thanks for making it available!

Love Becky!!!

[@dawn2949]

That was Becky from Acre Homestead, right? I love her channel too and awesome to see two channels I follow together!

[@JD-nk5mv]

It is my understanding that Becky is incapable of learning. Hell, she still calls her hero, Ina Garten, "Ina Gardener" even though half her comments are ppl correcting her. Becky believes she knows all, she's only here to boost her channel. She doesn't even eat meat with bones. Why should she be here??

[@forlini4876]

Becky the slob at acre fakestead

[@dawngrimmius4971]

Meg and Becky?!?! Some of my favorite homesteaders!

[@biologymom6238]

Thrilled that I found you through Becky. My Grampa was a State Patrol officer from the 40's through the late 60's. and Grammie was a gardener. I grew up going to the farm every weekend. they raised all their own protein. And butchered their protein. he always raised 2-3 extra animals to sell to friends. I raised my first cow starting at 9. My first pig at 11. I participated in butchering because it was farm live. I was raised to respect and treat our animals well. Nothing has ever tasted as good as the food from my grandparents farm. I am disabled now, so farm life is not possible for me, but watching your videos is such a blessing,

[@marissashelley2362]

I find it funny that we're ALL hoping for a girl for Buggie's sake & Buggie has NO idea she needs a sister!!! If this baby is a boy, I wouldn't want to be the guy walking up to the door to take Buggie out on a date!!! That's what I would call intimidation...Ben & his army!!! 😂🤣 😂😅

[@lieuwina]

Meg with all you do in the day, cooking, cleaning and kids school and that food looked absolutely amazing and you still do a cook book. Wow. Glad you had a great day.

[@jamesbrown8718]

Omg there was Becky from acres homestead!! I saw her and her sister and was wow this is crazy. But so great to see other KZbin channel creators coming to your classes. She is amazing cook and creator as well. Your video today was amazing as always. You both do amazing work in teaching others, and helping them get started on their homestead journey as well.

[@lisacornett9364]

Becky!!! Love her! You guys are great! You have unbelievable knowledge and skills. More people should be aware of how important these skills are.

[@Crazyfarmgal2011]

I have watched your channel for years but have never commented. Meg, it is so beautiful to see how you feed your family with such care and prepare it all with love. As a fellow homesteader Mom, I know it can be difficult to keep up with it all and seeing you do it with such a smile and loving heart, inspires me to keep on keeping on!

[@user-fc2hb3de2w]

I love watching Meg cook. When someone can just eyeball the amount of ingredients you know they really know how to cook. Everything I've seen her make looks delicious. And to be able to cook for a crowd is just amazing. Great idea writing a cookbook!

I was going to say no way, Becky!!! Even across our country, the homesteading community is so small and connected. Love that! I wonder if we're going to see an announcement this year that she's getting pigs 🤔

I had to go back and look again.. yes, that is Becky! :)

Newcomer here from acre homestead! Love this content!! I aspire to do everything from scratch so I really admire you

[@janhoblet9596]

Fun to see other people I watch on KZbin share in your class. Becky from Acrehomestead attended and participated in hog butchering. Enjoyed watching your video and then listen to her review on her experience. She had all complaints on her experience. She stressed what a wonderful cook you are and how delicious the meals were. So positive on the class and how interesting you made it. You may want to catch her videos as she has a wonderful new garden set up. Cooking, processing and preserving. Thanks for filling a lot of alone time. (74 year old widow). I also get a kick out of your kids. Buggy and the barefoot boys. Looking forward to the new little one to come. Blessings to you and your family😊♥️

[@georgianative5735]

Great video! Also loved seeing Becky from Acre Homestead! It’s so great to see other creators learning from one another!

[@rflcakepops]

I am so glad that Becky from Acre Homestead was able to join the class!!! It hopefully gave her some inspiration for the next time she orders a whole hog and not request the butcher to turn it all into bacon and sausage.

Meg, out of all of the other channels that I follow- YOU by far are the best cook- you are knowledgeable and your food looks amazing. Nothing against the others, but if I was learning to cook- you'd be the one I'd follow :). Love the biscuit song, Buggy. Was that Becky from Acre Homestead? I'm in on the cookbook!!!!

Just watched Acre Homestead about Becky’s weekend learning to butcher a pig. Very informative!! I also bought your pork cook book so I can expand my sausage making skills. Your headcheese recipe look great. In the UK we call it brawn and I can remember my mother making it. It really is true to say you can use all of the pig except the oink. Even the trotters, love them served with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. Yum!!!

Meg you absolutely amaze me!!! Buggy is so sweet❤

[@aa37988]

Just came back to re-watch this one, after realizing that Becky from Acre Homestead was at it; as I watch each of her uploads just like I do yours. Maybe it is the genuineness your each exude and your amazing work ethic that most appeal me to never miss either of you. I can't believe I missed seeing she was at the last workshop; all l can surmise is it didn't occur I'd recognize any of your guests, unless it was Jason and Lorraine, who are sometimes there. Perhaps I was just focused on the process and not on the people. Anyway, glad you met and hope great things come from it for each of you. As always, blessings!

Oh how I’ve missed you Holler Homestead! I used to watch you every day no matter what and somewhere along the way you stopped showing up on my feed. Well while watching Becky from Acre Homestead I seen that she took your hog butchering class and I was like “hey! I know them!” She couldn’t say enough good things about you on her video so I knew she had the right people. I’ve got you back in the rotation now, can’t wait to get caught up. Glad to see y’all are doing well. ❤😊

Meg you are so awesome! Great food I am sure Becky (acre homestead) was very impressed with the Hollar's both the teaching and food experience. Good for you guys, this is going to be a great year for the Hollar's!❤

[@themonkeymama]

Becky could learn a lot from Meg on hosting, and cooking. Meg's food looks amazing and she never feels frantic in the kitchen; always relaxed. You can tell Meg enjoys cooking. Hopefully Becky picked up some tips from Meg as well as Ben. And not just about butchering but using various cuts of meat (maybe even ones with bones!) and not just her usual bacon and sausage she gets every year from her whole hog.

[@andreahobbs6896]

Meg, in NC at a "hog killing" our family and our neighboring families always served baked sweet potatoes, corn bread (flat skillet style & raised cake style), biscuits with sausage & cured ham & homemade jams and preserves, cracklin' corn bread, collard & turnip greens, dried butter beans or blackeye peas, and liver pudding. We also had eggs,grits and sausage gravy or red eye gravy with breakfast. I live down in Southeastern NC. Our BBQ is made with a vinegar based sauce and our liver pudding and hog head cheese or scrapple is made differently than it is made in the Western part of the state. I believe our style of liver pudding has a higher meat to corn meal ratio and no flour compared to that made in the western part of NC.

[@sandymyers1182]

@@nelshakankiri really? She’s incredibly lazy, dirty and very sloppy in her cooking. Throws stuff around in her drawers, puts opened containers out without lids, just invites bugs and weevils in them flour and such. Homesteaders work. She does not work. She hires everything done. She puts in a huge garden worth hundreds of thousands and if it weren’t for her parents, that garden would go to seed. She did harvest some stuff but as a rule, it seems like she never uses it. She does not know how to cook. If a recipe calls for something, she says she doesn’t want to go downstairs to get it, so she leaves it out or substitute’s something that doesn’t have a place in the recipe. If it doesn’t have cheese or cream, she can’t make it She grifted gifts for her baby and barely even acknowledged them Shall I go on or do you get the picture? She is not a homesteader in her million dollar home.

[@JD-nk5mv]

@@nelshakankiri I'll go on...she sends her husband and baby to stay in the LAUNDRY ROOM while she plays "Ira Gartner" in her million dollar home. She has a nanny to care for her child because she can't be bothered. She keeps a po box for old ladies to send her gifts, which she never acknowledges, and you'll see them asking in the comments if she got them /they were expensive for them/why won't she respond. It's sad and infuriating, and THAT’s why so many ppl can't stand this frantic mess of a food hoarder trying to pass herself off as a legitimate homesteader.
