You're not alone in "putting the cart before the horse". We got chicks before their coop was built, got goats before their fence was ready. We had to put them on a run until we were ready. 😬
Me and my husband have plans to immigrate (back) to the states from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 and settle in Oklahoma,he is originally from there I never traveled anywhere further then Austria 🇦🇹
we have 2 kids both from a different marriage I have always wanted to move to the states and be self sufficient so I have been teaching my self the skills needed as much as I can cause I know that most of the work is gonna fall on me and I am more then ok with that (I I’m 35 my husband is 52).
This past year I have started our “plan” what veggies We want what kind of livestock how much we need of each when to plant what and how, when to get what kind of live stock and what kind of machinery we are gonna need/want in the long run I even budgeted out insemination costs for the specific breed of cow I want (Dutch belted) etc.
I am no where near done with the plan but it gives us an idea of how things will go in broad strokes (we all know how well thought out plans tend to go 😂) we hope to move within the next 4 years. So we still have a good chunk of time to fine tune and do some more reading and learning.
We are in the same boat. My husband and daughter bought chicks before we had a chicken coop, the he bought 2 nany goats before we had a pen for them. we ended housing them in our duck pen at first.
Can you do a video on homeschooling? What does your homeschooling day look like with all of the work on the homestead and your businesses? What curriculum do you use?
Question: Talking about homesteads and building reminded me that you were building your parents a home on your homestead. I may have missed it but has the home been completed?
We bought a breeding pair of Idaho pasture pigs before we had housing as well ours will be ready in mid October so we are working on housing and fencing. Our horses are going to share a portion of the arena with the pigs, it should be interesting.
Realistic about the family situation and work season is sooo true. I have tiny children and my husband just launched his own business. Every time we regroup and start working on our goals, something significant shifts and things have to slow back down 🤣🤣🤣.
Being in Southern California I can get ripe tomatoes from the garden in February but I don't get much in the summer. I treat summer down here sort of like others treat winter – things in the garden die back and you only go outside for short bits of time if you have to. We're currently looking at moving and buying land hopefully in the next month or two.
Just love all your content! Excited to learn even more from you two. You truly do have the best classes on the internet! I’ve enjoyed your canning and bread classes already….going to add dairy to that on 9/1! Thanks again for all you do.
Hi! This is Ms. Wallace,
How deep do you till deep and/or shallow? Is 8 feet is deep and 4 feet is shallow? Also, when you till you mentioned 1 a year; is there a certain time of year you should till your property? Oh an should it be tilled in sections? Say, you have 40 acres but you use 1 acre for planting, 2 acres for your animals? How when should those areas be tilled?
I have many questions but I want to know too, is it best to have sheep, lama’s or goat to use to keep grass from growing too high?
Hi, I am on the cheese wait list – have I missed the fun stuff? I haven’t seen anything, do I need to sign in to get the specials?
Putting the cart before the horse, story of my life! Lol still cant seem to learn!
Question for you guys. How do you store your mason jars? We currently put our jars back into the boxes they came in and put them on the shelf. This doesn’t seem as good or as efficient as it could be. Thanks!
We are the only ones in our family with more than a city plot. Everyone alwasy comments that 1.3 acers is a lot, always " thats a lot of land". But living on the 1.3 in the mountains, so very hilly lots of cliffs is not a lot when you want to homestead. (The land was an inheritance from someone who just wanted to live in the woods away from people.)
It just shows how people don't pay attention.
actually thats prudance. prudance is avoiding the mistake without having to be the one who makes it wisdom is learning
I’m a master at getting animals before the housing! And you’re right don’t do it!!
Great info, thank you! ❤️
Working on getting a half acre homestead set up. It’s what we can afford and what we can work with physically. We need to get our health in order before we can handle more.
Another excellent pantry chat. These are my favourite videos you guys put out
I sure wish I could take your class, but I care for my 96yr old mom, and have no definite schedule. Hope it all goes well.
Also talk to the local farm credit service for financing

I got 30 meat chicks without outside housing ready for them. I thought I would use one of those portable carports, but that didn't work, so we scrambled to find housing for them once they were too big to stay in the house.
I also see cold weather homesteaders in zone 3 use Stupice and Manitoba tomatoes. They are 60-65 days. Good flavor,
