The Hollar Homestead
United States
Приєднався 15 лют 2017
In 2017 we realized that being stuck in the rat race wasn't getting us anywhere - and definitely not anywhere HAPPY. So, we're trading in "normal" for making our own path. After suburban homesteading in Southern California for a few years, we've sold most of our "stuff", packed up the rest into a travel trailer, traveled the United States with our four kids to find our forever homestead, and are now revitalizing an old homestead in North Carolina! We live small, love hard, and have one major goal - to LIVE a life worth living.
We Used To Pay For These || Saving Money On Groceries
We are harvesting potatoes from our experimental hugelculture mound and we are super surprised by the amount we got. We’re also harvesting our beets and carrots, checking on the pigs in their new forest paddock, and making chicken pinwheels for dinner.

Do you ever add nuts or Parmesan cheese. This is my first year growing garlic and my first time getting the scapes
Video starts at 2:10
Buggy is the sweetest girl! I absolutely love watching her interact with the garden while expressing her ideas. Good job with all of your children. Your boys are so inspiring and handsome and your baby girl is just precious.
Carrot tops are great to make as fresh pesto. It's delicious
Buggie is soooo smart!! She IS a little “farm girl”!!! ❤️❤️
It’s a “Buggy Berry Bag” 😉
What breed of garlic are the ones that have the shoots you make pesto with? 😊❤
hallelujah a video without constant loud revolting background muzak WHAT A PLEASURE TO WATCH
i wish you wouldnt ruin every single video with only fit for the deaf loud revolting back ground muzak iits unbearable being stuck in a lift who wants that
Buggy is just so so adorable i know i say this alot but she is❤😊
Whoa Buggy has grown so much❤❤❤❤❤
So, Ben... your breeders are Mo, Sunny, and I think the other momma' s name should be Shadow.
Those little potatoes are great cooked with green beans and onion, and of course garlic. What a bounty, and Buggy is great help to dad!
Where did u say you purchased ur elephant garlic from my normal go to person didn't do it this year so I missed out and I don't want to miss out again
Your canning info has helped me greatly. I haven't canned in decades and this video gave be all the basics and info to start again. Thank you!
Medium to high temps destroys Vits and minerals. To get the elemental benefits you may want to slow the process down and simmer not boil yr suet.
Love it that you don’t slice the turkey! I don’t either! Saves so much time! 🍗🦃🦃🍗🥰🤗👏🙏 Thank you Ben for your beautiful guitar playing. Enjoyed immensely! 🎶
I'm in TX, so I work outside till noon, and go out again around 6 or 7 and battle mosquitos the rest of the evening.
That’s great you were teaching the boys. It looked like they had a great time and they will always remember .
My mother always made new potatoes and peas with a cream sauce over them. This is how she used up all the small potatoes.
Do the hops attract deer and or pigs ? We have lots of pigs and deer at our ranch .
Buggy really enjoys helping out. She really IS a farm girl:)
Our nation needs to get back to living like this. It's pure freedom.
The pig gods must have heard your podcast on least favorite homestead chores! Lots of male pigs to deal with😅
Buggy is so grown up and she is a great helper.
We do not fry our potatoes any longer. We cube them up and toss in olive oil & seasoning ---- mix in onion & yellow squash or just plain ---- toss in seasoning and spread out on a tray. Oven bake for like 30ish minutes at 425 degrees. We prefer them this way over frying now. But this is really the way we fix most of our veggies now is oven baked. Love my rectangle square stone from Pampered chef to cook our veges. ONce it is seasoned, it is a vege cooking dude. Brussel sprouts, brocolli, asparagus, squash, some items (like broccoli) needs a splash of water under it to steam, but we love cooking veges this way. I think a lot of recipes call it sheet pan cooking. We do like stir fry type veges with cubed chicken and & soy sauce as well.
😊😊
I love making turkey burgers. Ranch dressing on mine so good!
my grandma always left one or two she fed 8 people that way
Hi Ben. Have you thought of putting a dummy wire on top of the hot wire? My family used to attach streamers to it an after that we never had an escapee.
Buggy is really getting tall
Kudzu is a supplement for Lyme disease. Dr. STEPHEN Buhners book Healing Lyme second edition. Great for muscle loss from Lyme
OH MY GOODNESS!! WHERE DID 'LITTLE' BUGGIE GIRL GO?!?!? GROWING WAAAY TOO FAST!!! 🥰🥰🥰
What meat was that in pinwheels
Oh my goodness, please be careful of snakes. Your daughter going off by herself hope she knows to watch out for them.
Garlic is ready when the bottom three leaves are dry.
For garlic it could be nematode damage or leek moths.
love your family!!!
I love beets. If you need energy and your back and knees hurt, make a beet juice. Only works for a day, but any relief is good for me. !! You can just eat them too..either way, energy and relief I will take ot.
Soil is not dirt !
Bread dough must be dyslexic, leaving instead of leavening.🤣🤣🤣🤣
Every year I need to be reminded that I am allergic to the sun! Long sleeved shirts and cotton slacks are needed, or I'm living on allergy pills and bathing in skin lotions. Siesta season, for sure!
Buggy is so funny and cute and she seems to be getting taller. I love when she spontaneously breaks out into song.
you guys should get a pool and put it in the shade.. they're not too expensive.. or maybe you could get a liner and dig a hole for it and put sand in the bottom but then you'd need a fence to keep the little ones out.. could be good to cool off.
Love little Miss Biggys plaits, her hair is adorable
How is your extension going. The baby is gorgeous
May you all be covered completely in God’s safety, peace and JOY! 🥰🕊🙏❤️ Always BELIEVE in true love!
Hi from Australia, love your content, thank you for sharing.
I am curious, do you have an outside job. I see that you work hard to provide for the family on the farm, as do the children, another question is, are the children home schooled. Yes I am new to this channel.
What’s going on with the addition build? Just curious ❤
