This is It

[@brandonburke9646]

Lorraine ever think about making a cookbook? All her recipes look delicious.

[@zachdobbs7810]

That's a great idea!

[@michaelfief3174]

Absolutely 👍

[@manellaperry4748]

I'm so happy that y'all decided to live the homestead life,and bringing us along for the journey. Y'all are awesome and such a blessing.👍💛🙏

[@SowtheLand]

Thanks so much

[@myrlelembicz6364]

I notice you are puting out more content and I for one am loving it ! Thanks

[@elizabethlink3993]

💚 Hurray! You're living the Life! 💚

[@itzmisse1]

You can never get rid of Zeke! Love that pig.❤

[@deeanderson7358]

It just bring tears to my eyes to see you and Lorraine so happy. These classes went so well but you are a great teacher. Love this second class video. Thank you for making this older women smile. My grandpa was a butcher who owned his own grocery store until the big corporation pushed him out so I watched so much as a child with grandpa. Good memories. God bless

[@Rob-jv1kr]

It's crazy how much better your land looks sense you started on it. Enjoy it

[@TobyCatVA]

I found the comment about not having chicken on harvest day amusing. When I wis little, the first sign of a chicken dinner was Granny with a chicken dangling from one hand, an axe in her other, headed for the stump.

[@shadegarden7375]

Elvira is so funny! Babies do not get her extra food from the house!!🤣🤣. Mama’s love only goes so far…!

[@sallyhammond5918]

All I see is how happy and healthy you lovely people are since you moved to this homestead. Bless you and keep the videos coming!!👍 🐓🐔🐷🐷

[@skillbilly9602]

Jason Your speaking too the choir there @ the end.. I just sit on my Land in different places and just watch and listen to what Mother Nature has to offer me.. I Live in NE Kansas and we have the Most beautiful Sunrises and sunsets... The way She blends the pinks and blues some days is damn amazing..

[@kylejacobson965]

After 7 years on our 5 acre homestead, my wife still says joyfully, “can you believe we live here!?” #thisisit

[@conservfriends9651]

Thanks for that moment of vision at the end!

[@teresagunther6622]

Zeke is the man!

[@sandrasweet92]

Thank you for being so real. I love your channel!

[@sdl5731]

I wish I could go to one!

[@ricardomagnificent]

This is it. That says so much ... a perfect contentment. Love your videos.

[@markwinblad5867]

Great finish!!! Quality video. Your place is looking so much better this year, much more lush and green. This life is good for the whole family.

[@belieftransformation]

Excellent vlog, friendships formed & great family! Thanks for sharing! 🤗💗🇨🇦

[@jrsf222]

1950s I was egg gathering girl but when it came to butcher day every detail was performed by each of us. Two sisters makes 3 4-H girls, grandmother and mother 100 chickens. Wood block, ax, boiling water, hand plucking feathers, table and knives. They went into freezers with gizzard, heart and liver. When cooking The wishbone was carved from the breast, the thighs and legs were disjointed so the family of 6 each had a nice serving.

[@lynh8378]

I love ya'll's videos and how you explain everything and show an interest in others homesteading adventures.

[@Grandma_NC]

There is nothing like the feeling at the end of the day when everything is done and you can enjoy the fruits of your labor. Your homestead is looking real good.

[@shadegarden7375]

I love Zeke!! So gorgeous and God’s beauty and Peace shine through those quiet early mornings….

[@tinatippin5705]

Awesomeness. You can see why God made seasons. You live it.

[@michaelfrith8858]

Life is good Jason, 🙏 for your family.

[@montanaskye3227]

It doesn't get much better than this! Job done good!!

[@sharonadlam3195]

'This is it' you are so right Jason. 😊

[@sharonaqualais7565]

Your land is a lot greener now. It is looking good. more videos PLEASE.

[@janetwithers7427]

Life IS good. You have your own slice of Heaven. 💞

[@kermitfrog8340]

Sorghum is great plant for syrup,flour,etc. Full freezers are always good.

[@margaretbedwell3211]

Great workshop video, Jason. It was good to see Sang. He said he wanted to learn how to teach a class so he could have workshops in Indiana. So now you not only teach homesteaders, now you also teach teachers. That is so great. Thanks for sharing and Lorraine your dinner looked delicious. Y'all have a Blessed day.

[@debrezo58]

Lorraine that chicken dish looks so yummy!!! 💖

[@terrym.2264]

Your video is so relaxing to watch. They end when you said “This is it” made me smile really big, not to many people can be satisfied with simple needs and pleasure. I really appreciate the simple things in life, like a foggy morning and a beautiful sunset! May God continue to Bless your family. Thank for sharing. 😊

[@whitestone4401]

Love Sang from Growing Little Country Homestead! Another great season for Sow the Land. Blessings.

[@Mobiusquip]

You may want to take note (and possibly soil test) of the areas that the turkeys were when they got sick just in case it’s something toxic.

[@kayrabey1344]

Good idea. I never thought of that.

[@isnoo1]

Loved this video............... LOVE what you are doing on the farm!!!! HUGS ZEKE!!

[@silver_threads]

Man...the way this video ended...I'm just sitting here saying, "Why am I in the house? I'm getting outside before the sun goes down!" I had a busy day in the kitchen, baking and making and canning peach pie filling...being tired from productivity is the best feeling!

[@hollyjobitner3285]

Today we picked up 160lbs. of chicken. Yes it costs a few pennies, but we’re glad to pay for quality meat. Everybody needs to make a living. 💙

[@zachdobbs7810]

You're truly inspiring my friend, look forward to meeting you some day.

[@natasha1369]

Can I just say that you land has improved ten folds since you moved in. The grounds look so green and not wild and unkept. All your hard work and that of your animals has made a difference.😊

[@Dawn-di1qs]

I enjoy your videos. my grandfather raised meat chickens and sold them on Fridays. He had turkeys and pheasants too. they did not have a large place but had a well right off the back porch, initially had no running water, and had an outhouse. That did change over time. My grandmother was an awesome gardener.. The community they were in all shared with each other. If someone had too many peas to shell they shared. They are no longer on this earth but the community in that area still share their bountiful harvest with their family and friends.

[@gloriakelley7383]

It is chaotic and tiresome but it’s is a wonderful feeling raising your own food on your own land!

[@honiebird3789]

Beautiful ♥

[@CalledUntoHoliness]

Great work guys! Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

[@gatheringbaskethomestead9942]

Was loving what you were sharing toward the end. Beautiful, I feel the same way on our homestead.

[@gowest5145]

Just awesome! You are doing a great job. This is what our community needs. The Kuni Kuni piglets are so cute, love them. I hope your project with the 3 poles goes good for you. It is already starting to cool off here and I'm in the southwest, do fall is coming. God bless you.

[@richardroyles1423]

They’re all in the freezer now. I guess you’re going to put some in quart jars. Supper look good. God bless.

[@Tinkergrumpybuns]

Your land looks so lush now!

[@sylviabradley7355]

Hello Sang. So good to see you💥

[@kellijomo]

PSL in the house!! Thats awesome! We are also from PSL. Looking for land in North FL to continue our homesteading journey...been suburban homesteaders for several years. So cool to see someone from our area.

[@ToxicDreamer916]

I thought I recognized Growing Little Country Homestead! Thanks for the video Jason and family :)

[@xianvox22]

Same!

[@heatherk8931]

That early morning cool, quiet time is like no other time. Not even after sunset because it's usually still hot. With the day ahead, anything is possible ❤ Lol, your piggie at the very beginning, straight on. Looks like an alien 😂

[@fiendeng]

I love having those "this is it" moments ..whether you're sweaty af, drenched in rain, full of mud or just exhausted it happens all the time and it brings so much meaning to the road youve chosen PLEASE get Zeke glasses !!🤣

[@carolcalf2032]

Your farm looks gorgeous early in the morning

[@MD-ye2tg]

Amen. Days so long they run together. So tired you don’t think you can go on, yet you sit back and look at it all and it’s living a dream. Farming is so rewarding. We were created to live this way. 👍👍👍

[@guntaweiland3428]

I’m not much of a morning person, but must admit there’s nothing like rural Carolina in the morning. So peaceful and other worldly. ❤( we lived in NC for over 10 years)

[@lararabb8888]

Looking forward to ya'll trying sheep or getting a couple of steers again. Raising a couple of steers on the haves with a fellow homesteader or selling halves / quarters might be a way to diversify $$ making opportunities.

[@maddogair]

Jason, I really appreciate your channel and content. Would it be possible in future vlogs to increase the video lengths to 30 mins? OBTW, *BIG UP's* to "Randy" and the rest of your family.

[@marvamurray2283]

We get such a kick out of your personality Jason. You're so fun to watch!!

[@DebbieC624]

Loved this video. Your morning was very beautiful and so was the evening and everything in between. ❤ I’m continuing to dream of the day I can have my own piece of land to grow food. Have a blessed day 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️👩🏻‍🌾

[@tinabloomfield7228]

I absolutely adore hearing the piggies oinking, and the roosters crowing ❤ I wish I could have a farm....lol

[@gowest5145]

Pray and fast about it

[@barbarabrand190]

Your piggy talking to you is so pitiful and cute!

[@jillyd2807]

I’m so happy for you that you’re happy with your life. Things are looking good 😊

[@buckreynolds7475]

I been packing them for 60 years never thought I would see people paying to learn how to do it

[@barbaravickroy7563]

There are so many ways that your videos...and others like them....are a blessing. The folks who get true hands on experience...the folks who take your online class....and to old gals like my 87y-o sister and l who watch every video and comment via email...she's in CA, l'm in AR. Anyway, your sweet family, and the homey things you take pleasure in doing are a welcome relief from the rattle and bang of today's news. Thanks, guys....💝

[@lararabb8888]

Hoping to watch a green house/ high tunnel build on your farm.

[@MarciPrice-cl6eq]

We don't process enough chickens to get a plucker..I'm 57, still using my hands. IF I could get enough people in my tiny rural town (292) to raise their own, I could rent it out.

[@ericjohnson1008]

Day two, getting it done.

[@JB-mf1zc]

Amen God is good!! His goodness is running after us!! 🙌🙌

[@jaredlevie9064]

love when you talk to the animals

[@Franciso-so1bg]

Lorraine comes up with such tasty great meals. They always look fresh and yummy.

[@wendyburston3132]

Thank you for your concluding comments Jason. So timely and encouraging. I don't have a homestead but it's been a struggle getting good to survive between the weather and the bugs. Out of numerous sowings, battling slugs, cucumber beetles, hand watering saved rain water to save money I'm looking forward to the fall. But God is so good. We're seeing results and learning so much. It's definitely an adventure. Hang in there my friend. Hmmm, insta pot? Sounds like a good idea. 👍❤️

[@kellierebkowec625]

I am happy for you guys to have found your place. GodBless

[@susanmolnar7323]

My favorite thing about you guys is this... I always see wonder on your faces and you don't shirk at the struggles of homesteading. You're innovative and all of you work so hard and how nice to have your in-laws in the mix with you!! You are such a blessing to watch as you plug along at what some folks say is just a drag kind of life and too hard to do. I love how you've embraced the life! Your homestead shows it with the improvements as the years have passed by. Such a lovely place! Thanks for sharing all you do! God Bless!

[@joannmahaffey1068]

Zeke talking to you is so cool. Love that pig. Congrats on this years last workshop.could you think about doing another of those videos where you just walk around the farm and listen to the sounds. Turkeys early on a misty appalatian morning is magic.

[@evalinawarne1337]

Talked about sunset's. Fabulous. Yesterday Monday. We did the opposite. Watch the sunrise on the Harley. PERFECT Temperature COOL morning Today, rain. The BEST FRIDAY SHOPTALK ☀️👍💯🛐🛐🛐☕ FROM SE MICHIGAN GREAT LAKE'S STATE. LADY LORRAINE is an EXCELLENT TEACHER

[@HaroldMalaby]

Jason and Lorane love you guys so natural. Your certainly great with people who obviously feel relaxed and at home at your workshops. Everyone learning together and teaching others. Jason loved your ending on this video a days end feeling grateful about life.

[@albrightfs]

You'll Love the heritage... Ours lay thru August.. Save and incubate some eggs for your next generation :) Not relying on others for your next crop.. We never had luck with the broad breasted.. they always broke legs and sick before we could process ..

[@The-Good-Life-Off-Grid]

Lovely video love seeing the pigs and babies ❤

[@mickichikwinya5519]

So much better than just two weeks of vacation over the entire year.

[@barbaraslayden2277]

We just had a beautiful sunset here in Virginia awesome colors 😍 love from Virginia ❤️

[@TheEricjensen]

You are an inspiration.

[@onemorchatykathy]

Lorraine’s father is such a kind helpful father to your family. That’s a blessing!!!

[@raisingtherogershomestead3148]

I love the idea of workshops! But they terrify me. Hopefully one day I will make that happen on our homestead. Love your videos you are a true craftsman with your videos and editing!

[@oldladyfarmer7211]

Harvesting poultry and game birds is "see one, do one, teach one", but you really do need to see the first one in order to save yourself time & effort. I do not remember when I learned to butcher because I was born into it - but I've seen people do it for the first time and I can see that things I took for granted are the same things each person gets wrong the first time. You do such a service. I'd love to see the whole world know how to raise all their own food. To the fellow that said his family was surprised that with a college education, he was going into farming.....You can have a college education AND live off the land. I have several degrees in Ag & Horticulture and certifications in bees and other related fields - it all helps and you can use your education to make the $$ you need for taxes and groceries that you can't grow yourself. I taught organic gardening, wrote syndicated Newspaper columns and magazine articles and worked for the country as a Master Gardener. If you don't want all the bells & whistles that tech has to offer - you can do it. I congratulate you on your industriousness!!

[@yellowdeer7163]

The calm after the storm.

[@heathernotzdaniels6350]

At the end of the day, there is also a feeling of pride that you did it. And you did it for yourself, and not for a boss. Great video! :)

[@jubistar99]

I ❤ watching your videos! When STL post a new video, I get so excited. I like how your family works so hard but not over do it. It doesn’t looks so chaotic or unorganized (we’ll at least your vlog doesn’t look like it). Your farm has come a long way, with the help of your tiny family. Y’all cleaned it up nicely. Keep up the good work 😊

[@michelleann1899]

So happy you found your "This is it!"...yesterday we had that moment...my husband and I were watching an old movie..."Lost Horizon" they came upon the city of Shangri la...I turned to my husband and said the movie was a microcosm of all the different personalities and flaws in human society...they are searching and even though they found a lovely new way of life...not all could understand. I said that is what we have...not rich, nor poor...just right. We have a small homested...not quite like yours, but we grow food and our land provides a service to many people. We are in our 70's...your channel let's me have a glimpse of our future young people...your doing just fine....love your channel!

[@deltorres2100]

Love it …yup I hear you on that great life.. At the end of a busy productive day ..I feel the same My city garden is still doing GREAT..I have had to pull 3 tomatoes plants that are no longer producing but in place I did pole beans

[@SowtheLand]

Love that!

That salad is gorgeous! You had me at shredded golden beets. This is it for sure.

Love your journey. It hasn't been long on the new property, yet you seem to be at home. Lorraine seems to still be finding her way. She needs her garden back. Another season or 2. I keep waiting for Lorraine's garden update. Hopefully soon. 💚🌞

[@karomaalta4592]

JASON, that thing your birds diy on is a deseas. In Europe it's called Marek. Good luck with everything and thank you for the videos!

[@CS-bn4un]

Wonderful video intro with the beautiful early morning! Your place is so beautiful and each thing you do is healing it and making it your own! The different background stories of the course participants are so fun to listen to as well. Appreciate your filming those as well as their willingness to share.
