I decided to completely rewrite our channel description. When I started this channel, we were living in Michigan. At the time, we had no plans to move. We started homesteading on the 5 acres that was my mom and dad's. Then some things happened, and we decided that it would be best for us to move out of state to make a complete fresh start. We left MI August 17, 2022, and we've been living in Oklahoma for a year now. Though we're not on the property yet, we have 12.54 acres near the base of Panola Mountain. We've been up to the property once. We're hoping to be able to start building our off-grid cabin soon. Our goal for homesteading is to become completely self-sufficient, growing and raising our own food with raised garden beds, chickens, ducks, turkeys, guineas, a dairy cow, a few horses, rabbits, and quail. Come check us out and stay tuned for many exciting videos.
We will also be making Faith First T-shirts available soon. Check out ArtPal.com/susanmhe1025 also.

Creating a Personal Legacy through Homesteading
zhlédnutí 4Před dnem
The word "homesteading" was originally coined by the US government in a policy that granted "free" land to settlers willing to develop and cultivate it. In more modern times, it's come to define a movement of folks choosing to make their lives a little harder, a little less convenient, and a little more sustainable in hopes of creating a more purposeful, meaningful, connected life. To me, homes...

Just wanted to have a talk with you guys about our plans on moving back up to Michigan (up north), the campground, the camper trailer, etc. I also wanted to let you guys know about my art gallery that I will be opening. For a while it will just be online because I want to wait until we're on our own property to open my physical art gallery, but it will be coming.

Nurturing Heritage in the Kitchen
zhlédnutí 4Před 21 dnem
Oftentimes, we think leaving a legacy means we must create a huge achievement, like inventing the light bulb or curing a disease. While those definitely are big achievements, I've come to view legacy as something much more intimate and meaningful.
Ethics Over Profit

To turn your back on everything you've known and what society says is normal takes courage and guts. Homesteaders know this more deeply than most. Yet when the stakes are this high, it doesn't matter if others question you.
DIY Peppermint & Coconut Oil Toothpaste

I'm running out of toothpaste and money, so I decided to make a healthy homemade toothpaste that has only healthy ingredients and no harmful chemicals. It's a plus, plus and a win, win. Please let me know if you decide to try this recipe.
Homesteading With No Money
zhlédnutí 5Před 28 dny
There is a calmness to the outdoors. There is peace when you start seeing how animals and food grow all on their own without much human interaction. It reminds you of our hope, promises, and connection with nature. So many of us can agree and say we would love to be more connected and raise and grow more food, but do we have the drive, persistence, dedication and resilience to give it a go?

We've been extremely busy after getting into Michigan with getting jobs, starting jobs, getting things established for us to stay in our trailer, etc.
Don't feel bad,they cut me off also.
Please leave comments you guys and let me know how things are going and what kinds of homesteading things you are doing. I would love to talk with you guys.
I usually leave at least one comment on my videos. I almost forgot tonight. I'm actually really excited about this solution that I'm sure God gave to me. Please leave comments if you are interested in a painting.
I have to rephrase something I said here. I said I will not send out a painting unless it has been paid for in full with a credit card or a debit card. I will take cash as well guys. If someone had cash to give me for a painting, I would definitely take it. Lol
Please leave a comment and let me know if you make sourdough bread.
I will be doing another one like the lighthouse one that I just finished. I have decided to give it to our son Christian for his birthday.
Once again, the email to use for email contact for Faith First Art Gallery is faithfirstfarm24@gmail.com.
Cash app, not C J, I don't know what that is. Lol
The Blue Moon painting, I painted the canvas dark blue before I started painting the actual moon and the clouds.
I just looked up the 16x20 painting, the one with the ocean waves crashing on the shore. It's Sunrise Over the Crashing Waves of the Ocean. I've done quite a few sunsets. Lol
You can definitely see the detail in the rocks on my Purple Mountain painting.
I do hope you guys enjoy the video. Please leave comments and let me know if you are interested in ANY of the paintings. I didn't mention this in the video, but I am willing to do some of these in a smaller canvas size so they are a little more affordable for you guys. Please let me know which ones you are interested in.
Do you wear blue jeans pants 👖
@@DamonWinkelman Not in the summer
On the ArtPal website, you can go to that site and order any of my paintings and/or photos that I've taken in pretty much any size you want, framed, not framed, canvas, metal, etc.
I forgot to add this website to the description box: ArtPal.com/susanmhe1025
Doing a great job
Thank you! ☺I appreciate that. I appreciate your comments and input.
I'm also working on a professional art gallery website for my paintings as well.
That campground is Northern Nights Family Campground.
I look forward to hearing from you guys.
I sleep on a tatami mat on the floor every night. I prefer it to a traditional bed. Good luck!
Thank you. Right now, we're just trying to get money saved up to get back up to Michigan so we can start getting established up there.
Guys, go ahead and leave comments if you have questions about anything we're talking about in the videos or if you have any other questions, especially if they're about any of our Faith First merchandise that we're working on.
Wow, AI really slaughtered the subtitles on this video. Lol. I think I will go use my homemade toothpaste, I will let you know how it turned out.
I hope this one is helpful to you guys who are looking to start a new homestead. Please leave comments and let me know where you are in your own homesteading journey.
Okay, so the description box is kind of long, but I listed all of the websites from the book so you guys can go to their websites and learn even more. Leave a comment and let me know what you after visiting their websites, and I really hope you do because this information is so important to your survival as the world and our country continues to go downhill very quickly.
This one sounds really good.
I also cannot wait to get our cookbook done and get it out there so people can order it.
Just remember, if you use plastic tubs to store your bags of fertilizers in, make sure they are stored in a shed, garage, barn, something like that so they stay out of the sun. Because plastic sitting in the sun is bad. The sun on plastic leaches chemicals into whatever is in the plastic. That's why using plastic tubs for garden beds is not a good idea.
One of the plants that add lots of nitrogen to your soil is bean plants: green beans, yellow beans, dragon tongue beans, burgundy beans, etc. Beans are also great way to naturally add nitrogen to your soil. You can test other parts of your garden areas and plant the veggies that need the nitrogen near your bean plants and/or in other parts where there is already more nitrogen, or you can just fertilize and add nitrogen. Just make sure your fertilizer that you choose aren't full of harmful and toxic chemicals.
I will definitely be doing the soil testing and doing videos so you guys can see how they're done and the results. I'll also do videos showing when we do the amendments to the soil so we can get good produce from our gardens.
Let me know if you try this decluttering method for decluttering your own home and homestead.
How has God blessed you guys? Leave a comment and let me know.
I will definitely be trying this recipe. I will probably do a video showing when I do make this soup. I may wait until we're back up in Michigan though.
I'm sorry I didn't just add the recipe to this video. I thought the article was a little more than what it was.
Faith First Farm & Homestead's goal is the same as this family: to make our homestead a teaching farm and pass on the skills and knowledge we have learned and are learning and to teach others how to become self-sufficient.
Faith First Farm will be using rabbits as a business by breeding them and selling the babies. The money we make from them will go back into the homestead.
Ify, not icky.
Guys let me know when any of you guys try these recipes out.
This one sounds really good.
This recipe sounds really good.
The fresh culinary and medicinal herbs are one of the things that I cannot wait to be able to be gathering up from the wild and growing on our own farm.
I am actually hoping that we can get sheep and/or fiber goats.
Yummy!! Let me know when you guys try these cookies!
I don't mean to sound down at all. I had a bit of a break down afternoon (crying), just emotional. I'm okay.
That is very irritating. Lol
We cannot wait to get up to upper Michigan.
You guys will have to let me know if you try any of these recipes and how they turn out.
Please let me know if any of you are interested in the painting. You can email me at faithfirstfarm24@gmail.com. You can also contact me on messenger on my Susan Hosler, either one.
I will definitely be using this rotational grazing plan.
No, I would not have smacked the kitty. We use spray bottles with water in them.
