We’re Being Invaded

[@kindacoiny]

Meg Hollar is absolutely wonderful! Her kindness, intelligence, and unwavering support make her a truly exceptional person. She has a heart of gold and a smile that can brighten anyone's day. Meg's dedication to her work and her willingness to go the extra mile for others is truly inspiring. She's a true gem, and I feel lucky to know her. Keep shining, Meg!

[@BiterAvid]

Amen, And on top of all that she is also beautiful to look at as well.

[@deecooper1567]

Well said👍. I wish one day I could visit the Hollar family but that’s not possible 🥴. So YT Meg will do for inspiration & encouragement. Her reaction to those grubs……oh don’t drop them ! With a laugh. Family comes first so absolutely enjoy Mom while she’s there 🤩🌟. 👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

[@kathycortez232]

Amen she is a gem 💎

[@evamollikova2132]

[@colleenallen3382]

To Meg’s Mama, You raised one fine daughter! 😊 Please do have a lovely visit.🌹

[@ericallan1373]

Thank you Ben. We appreciate you and your family’s valiant efforts in making the videos 👍🙏

[@luannroop1338]

You guys are my favorite KZbinrs to watch! Enjoy your family time and see you when you return! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@caroleewalker5546]

Have no idea why it is so pleasant to follow ya’ll. I could write a paragraph of all the details but just let me say it s been great watching the boys grow up over the years, and the fun and sweetness of Buggy joining the family, Ben’s great storytelling, calm voice, clear explanation of how to do stuff, and endless know how in all the aspects of building a homestead from animals to growing plants to iron work. And then there is Meg. Such a lovely person, great friend, sweet guide for her family an also her lovely voice. I’ve learned so much about good cooking methods and how to make hard recipes into simple methods, and wonderful meals. I know life is not “perfect” for the Hollars, but for a little while watching your channel, life seems to be just the way it’s supposed to be 😊

[@lattelolly6925]

We love watching your family. Love how Buggy is such an outdoor girl. That was me from the time I could walk I was always helping my dad and learned how to do so many things. 65 years later I'm still an outdoors girl.

[@sharonbrown2352]

Love how patient Ben is with Buggy.

[@bill4852]

Ben you are a lucky man to have such a beautiful family Meg is such a beautiful and sweet knowledgeable woman and your boys are so helpful to you and your baby girl is so sweet and beautiful and you Ben are so knowledgeable about so many things and I love how y’all say the blessing before eating God bless y’all 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️ you are one of my favorite channels if not the best so wholesome I can let my Grand children watch Y’all without any cursing or drama God bless y’all 🙏❤️

[@patriciaherman6499]

I'm sure Meg and everyone is so happy Mom, Grandma is here for a visit. Family always comes first have a great visit Ben always enjoy the Podcast, continue success. See you on the next one Blessings to you and the family. 😊🇺🇲

[@barbaravollmert9508]

As a grandma of people who don't live near me,I cherish every moment when I visit. We love the Hollers 😊❤

[@rhondahuber6412]

Enjoy your family time!!

[@PatrickPoet]

My dad and a friend of his were going to dig out and burn all the rhizomes of Johnson Grass in our non-fluffy soil in the Texas Panhandle when I was a kid. They worked for three days and gave up. In some places it dug deep then traversed sideways multiple times in multiple depths off of the same roots/rhisomes so that they dug over their heads. They filled and burnt a bunch of 55 gallon drums with rhizomes. We had less for a few years.

[@beckybox2596]

Have fun with your Mama, Meg and all. You are all the best, especially those two younger ones. Love the way they stay close to Ben in the field. 🌻💕

[@almachapman5409]

Enjoy family time. Buggy is adorable. Her vocabulary is Outstanding

[@Oururbanhomestead1966]

Love watching little Miss Buggy in the garden with her dad. We need to see more of Meg in the kitchen ❤❤

[@jeanhelliwell8160]

Definitely need more kitchen/recipes to cook. Amazing meals I see every time I watch.

[@brendachapman4559]

Those grubs turn into Japanese Beatles! Glad you're getting them all... Much Love and Blessings

[@alicegilbert4186]

Did not know that. Yuck

[@jenniferrush8231]

No they dont…. Completely different kind of grub

[@kathyw1710]

What sweetness? What will you do without your little helper there? She’s the cutest thing.

[@amboe13]

The you for sharing your lives with us. We love the Hollars!!

[@kathrynmcaravy5966]

It is so sweet to see your youngest children stay close and really seem invested in the gardening

[@irmibullinger1421]

Watching Ben and his little helpers preparing a garden bed is so much more satisfying than watching a stranger cut lawns. Eat hearty chickens!! 🐔🐓 Another edit, Enjoy spending time with Mom, Grandma. We will miss you if you don't post but We still have a podcast to look forward to on Friday!!

[@deniseharris9363]

I love you guys and have followed you since you lived in your home in California!! I’m glad to watch every video you put out and understand why you want to be present when you have family visiting who lives so far away!! Enjoy your visit and see you when you get back!

[@karinroberts5160]

I so enjoy watching your family through your videos. Enjoy your family time. It's precious.

[@AZJH8374]

Ben, I'm glad the 3 Amigos are on. God k ows, we never ever see your older sons helping you, BTW. It would be nice if we could see Meg & Grandma cooking ❤❤❤ let us know where she gets her skills & knowledge from. ❤❤❤

[@Cherie5353]

Family is the most important thing in life. I know Meg’s mom is having a blast. We all love you guys too. ❤❤❤

[@tlm1125]

Hi guys! Ben. I just wanted to complement you on how awesome of a father you are. Meg is pretty awesome also, but how you are raising your boys and buggy, to help you farm, is just amazing. I don't see the twins helping much, maybe they do off camera, but your two younger boys are very kind, caring and helpful young men. They seem to be right there when you need them. They jump in on whatever you need help with and I don't think I've seen you needing to ask them much. They are going to be your hands when you need them for sure.....and your sweet buggy, she is daddy's helper. I know that you know those two are special, but I wanted you to know, your audience also sees it. Love your family and you're all in my prayers. PS, Meg, I cook right along with you, lol. You have a knack for country cooking and a lot of us can learn a lot from you. Love, love, love your bread....and, I just made your pastry. So good 😊

[@HaroldMalaby]

Ben watching you for years you sir have come along way. Your presentations are great for learning and entertaining. As you thank us for watching I thank you for stepping up the game and becoming such a good presenter of content. Kudos to you and the family and of course we know that "buggy" is the show. Blessings

[@vlunceford]

Milky spore or beneficial nematodes for those grubs. Thanks for the education on Johnson grass. We have SO many new weeds this year - some good like passionflower vine, others not so much! Love watching the kids out working with you - the boys are getting so grown up and Buggy is just the cutest little bit ever!❤

[@1stbadger700]

So happy for a family visit. It’s the best when your children become your friends. You all will be missed for the week but I’m sure we will be praying for lots of laughter, hugs, and love for all of you.

[@janninehaslam9204]

You all deserve some special family time with grandma....you all work, support each other as a strong family unit. You all deserve the down time that happens when family are around. Meg and Ben you give so much to your followers through your vlogs and dedication to your family, home and homestead. You both have hearts of gold and give so much. All this shows throughout your vlogs. Enjoy love and blessings to you all xjx

[@marywaltz7871]

Will miss your videos, but enjoy family time.

[@billstev100]

I’ve always understood that the presence of grubs means healthy soil. My brother and I managed to farm about a two acre plot at my moms old place by hand and the rotor tiller. Great memories! That was when I was in my 20s and I’m 78 now. Keep up your hard work and caring for the family. God bless bro!

[@kimlee5811]

I have been watching your channel way before you left Calli. Enjoy your visit with Meg's mom. Your chore helper is so cute.

[@larryfeeks6620]

I really enjoyed Meg's reaction to the grubs! "Oh, that's nasty." Lol! Enjoy your time with Meg's mom, and we'll see you next week!

[@TobyCatVA]

Buggy catching a ride on the chicken tractor wheels was another perfect segment. The art this channel makes is marvelous, your editing is top notch; giving us a view of how you see you. Thank you for that privilege.

[@hadleywooten3689]

Families are the center of life and they come first!!! Enjoy!

[@sharonstorti3270]

have a wonderful visit....we love you ,and your homestead...i always pray you prosper and be in good health,

[@lorrainewilliams8232]

I don't go on my phone when we have family, you enjoy your time with mum, we will still be here when your back 👍👍

[@Oururbanhomestead1966]

I love the wholesome life your kids have. Love the fact that they are always outside, barefoot and playing in the dirt. I am guessing that the kids have little to no screen time ( may use laptops for school work or to watch other homesteading channels). Meg and Ben, your are amazing parents and you are raising well rounded and respectful kids❤❤

[@abigail01441]

Johnson Grass has 3 ways to reproduce. 1. By seed. 2. By leaf nodes. If the stem is leaned over and the spot where the leaf begins on the stem makes contact with the ground. 3. By rhizomes. Or, any minute part thereof.

[@Flippin_Crazy]

Ben and Meg it’s our pleasure to know y’all and the kids. Thank you for letting us watch your life. Those grubs are disgusting. Lol. Our cows use to get them under their skin.😳Us kids used to pop them out like pimples. Just leave ya with that thought. 😂🤮

[@Libhater-PP4PM]

Enjoy your company, god bless the Hollars❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@tinatippin5705]

It is an absolute pleasure to support you and your family. You are an amazing couple. Happy visit with your mom. We will catch up with you later. By the way...That, was a bucket of creepy!! Chickens loved them for sure. Happy week.

[@rosanna3714]

Thank you and Meg and your wonderful children It's so refreshing to see your family all working together. Enjoy your channel very much!!

[@DeirdreHickey-nx8nt]

The amount of grubs was something else. Love Buggy taking a ride on the bird cage 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@thefarm6676]

I just have to tell you that I am having trouble getting some seeds to germinate. So, this time when I planted, I did what Buggy does and screamed grow at them. Please let her know that I appreciate the tip she provided.

[@greenbankreptiles]

Enjoy the family folks.. see you when we see you! Much love and respect to you all!!

[@karenladwig]

I would love to see Ben and the boys build a smoke house. Ben has a lot of talent and I know he could make one.

[@helenlazoga1487]

Fortunate you are Ben to have such cute hardworking little helpers. Hope you have a lovely family time. Catch you next video.

[@keitheverhart9556]

I really enjoy all your videos. This one brought back memories of working my grandpa's farm as a kid. Johnson grass was a constant battle. No matter what was going on if we saw a clump we stopped what we were doing and dug it up. That stuff is evil. Have courage though and remember. There ain't no Johnson grass in Heaven.

[@gailbrault9251]

Family comes first!😊

[@judyreynolds305]

I just love you younguns’. Y’all keep this old lady smiling! I have gathered a tin can full of grubs, but never a bucket! Wow!

Hey Ben, Use a 4 inch PVC pipe with a 90 elbow at the bottom, fill it up attach it to the wire or a corner board, cap it and boom, great feeding system it can last for days depending on how many birds you have,! 0:57

[@johnwitkowski6596]

Hollar Family you are a blessing to watch. Please be careful with using hay in your garden though. Other homesteading channels have warned about Grazon being sprayed on hay which can poison your garden.

[@josephblazek6480]

So lookin at "Buggy in her happy place". I'm cunvinced she could live with Wolves and teach them to garden. She is sooo at home in the garden. Love you for letting her do what she does.

Thank you for letting us be part of your lives! Many of us dream of being able to move out of the cities and build a homestead, but reality doesn’t always align. We get live a little vicariously through you and your family and get a taste of outside in the green and the woods. Enjoy your family time!

[@robinwhitlatch4497]

Have a nice time with visiting family! That was a load of huge grubs out of the garden bed area. Surprising wild birds haven’t found them yet, maybe they will now that the ground has been turned over. Chickens were happy campers! 🤠
