About OFF GRID with DOUG and STACY:
We moved to our 11 acres in 2011 from a large city in the Midwest with zero carpentry and farming skills. We live with no solar / wind power / public water or well. We share our adventure to a sustainable life, growing our own food from vegetables to meat. We post videos DAILY and they range from HOW TO to EVERYDAY LIFE and NUTRITION on the off grid homestead. We were city folks just like you probably and wanted to enjoy life and have more control over our food. We share food recipes as well as natural remedies. - Zábava
Thanks for stopping by the homestead! You can check out starkbros.com for grapes and fruit trees 🤠👍
Excellent
Be certain to plant some hyssop near the grapes so that they root better.
@@BonnieBlue2A I've never heard of it. Is it pretty common?
I'm glad you told them to be careful about that post pounder. I usually put it 7' posts & I am 5'3" I used to just hold the bottom of that thing and once the handles got in the wrong direction and I pulled it down on my head & gave myself a concussion.
Ordering now ! Ty for all your inspirations
You mentioned grapes will give you up to 30yrs of harvest. I wanted to share this: I was at an Amish lady's house. Her family operated a greenhouse and had lived at that location several years. They had a huge grapevine. She told me they had a professional age it and estimated it at over 100 years old! It died out a couple of years after that but was extremely productive 😀
Ohh, and they can even get older. My uncle has also one that he planted as a kid. He turned already 82 :-)
Also this one:
vinepair.com/wine-blog/this-grapevine-has-been-around-for-nearly-500-years/
We had a Thompson vine over 30 years old, that produced massive crops.
There are ancient grapevines in Spain & France. I don't know if it's the soil, or what, but grapes CAN live & produce over 100 years.
I grew up in Fresno California where there's a huge Arminian population. I'm pretty sure that's where Stacy's family hails from.
LOVE this. 💗
Like they say, it's so nice to have a man around the house. I believe that and you are a great example. Stacy is blessed to have you, but yet you're so blessed to have Stacy.
You two ROCK!!!lol
Please don't ever delete your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!
One thing I know about grapes is they never fruit on old wood. So you have to cut them back late winter or very early spring, so the can grow a lot of new shoots to bare your grapes on. That's why you see big stumps in a vineyard just before growing season.
Grape trellis and outdoor shower, the ideas just keep getting better and better. Thanks Stacy!
Grapes love a good trellis.
Do you have an update on how the grapevine is doing? I’d love to see it 🍇
Dear Doug and Stacy, thanks for this valuable information about grape planting. I would like to add some info about the leafy meals. As your Western neighbour (from Turkiye), all the leaves wrapped are called sarma (wrapping, rolling), and dolma is referred to filling (stuffing) like peppers, eggplants, zucchinis, squashes, even tomatoes and cucumbers. And yes, you never waste any part of these awesome plants, and they are, indeed, very good for health. Regards from Canada.
Mind blowing stuff and quite the opposite of what you’ll learn in school. Thank you for bringing truth and healing. May God continue to bless your lives and this ministry of sorts. ❤
Those t-posts will get you in shape real quick. I worked at a vineyard that was being started for the ground up. Driving posts all day for a month got me in the best shape of my life.
Try deep fence posts by hand. Makes T-posts look Easy.
Another use for grape leaves... put one leaf in each jar of fermenting pickles and it keeps your pickles crisp!
Never heard this before, will try
Also good as a substitute for that large outer cabbage leaf to go on top, when you are fermenting something other than cabbage.
Real? I'm going try this. I'm a pickle kinda woman. I think I got 4 different types open right now.
Tammy Jaecks
Me too. My bread and butter are crisp but my dill pickles are always limp🤷🏻♀️
It really does. It's the tannins. That's the reason i use bay leaves (i would use grape if i had them but bay are easy and cheap to store) i have always wondered what nuisances grape leaves brought to the flavor profile
Just shared this with a grape growing family member! Next time I get next to a vine, I'm gonna grab me some leaves!! Thanks for sharing! Have an awesomely blessed day!
What a beautiful flatland with nice "facilities" for the precious animals; it's a self-sufficient home sweet home paradise.
As they grow, PLEASE show how to prune them for maximum grape production.
My grapes must be 30 plus years old and thank you to my grandpa and Opal for planting them. Stacy I hope yours grow like mine. They are in sandy soil here with rhubarb close by. Thanks for letting me know of all the health benefits of the grape. And I may have to eat me some grape leaves now!
I've been watching you guys for the last 16 months...I grew up on a farm in Mo. I now live in a 500 sq ft rented cabin in Montgomery Tx... Birthplace of the Texas Flag. I've been planting sweet potatoes, Tomatoes & Herbs in containers & am having so much fun getting back to my roots @ 65 years old! Thank you both for your videos, your Faith in God & sharing your knowledge with us!
That is awesome!
@@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY
You guys are awesome!
We had an exchange student at our mechanic shop that was from Greece. His mom made us a bunch of stuffed grape leave rolls. They were filled with a stuffing made of lamb meat and roasted in an oven. Was surprised that the leaves were tender but they were. Don’t know how she made it but it was really good.
Great info Stacy. Imagine Omega-3 from a grape leaf! You guys are more relevant now than ever. Thank you!
Amen!🙌

From England.
linseed or the oil from is also a good source. I like cooked potatoes with that oil I mash them with a fork on the plate when they are still hot, and pour some milk over it. And a good does of the oil, and some salt. Just make sure that you get FRESH oil, keep it in the fridge and eat if fast. It reacts easily with oxygen. When gone rancid you can always use it for wood - only make SURE to never leave brushes or rags with oil in a place where they are not exposed to air.
that oil can ignite it is the reaction when a rag is crumpled up and in some corner. When you let it dry exposed to air, it is O.K. but not throwing it in the trash, there is not enough oxygen to have the harmless reaction and the heat can build up. (like wet straw or hay).
I oil my kitchen countertop with my bare (clean, washed) hands. No problem with disposal of rags, I massage it in and it is good for the skin. With food grade oil you can do it. (Not DIY oil they usually add hardener which pretty much defies the purpose of even using the oil).
And the oiled surface must be exposed to air for longer (think cabinets that are opened often, no problem with counter tops) and it needs time to cure. We are talking at least one week and I still would not put stuff directly on the oiled surface - think a linen cabinet. You could build a little platform with a a few pieces of wood and a hard surface (could be even stable cardboard) and the conent is placed on that. That way the oil can continue to cure. Else you might get a funny smell. After some time you can remove the provisory arrangement and fill your cabinet in the normal way. It helps when it is a cabinet that is opened and the stuff is moved occasionally.
It is a good, cheap and natural protection, but it takes its time.
Very cool idea!! And easily a one person project! Thank you for sharing you guys! May God bless your grapes in Jesus' name!
Don’t you just love cattle panels? I’m watching this 2 years later...going to see if I can find it growing in a later video! Y’all inspire me!
We need a grape update even if they failed; you can try again!
Thanks for all the excellent information on grapes. It was a good reminder of the health benefits and how delicious stuffed grape leaves can be.
🐝🌱Have a more than usual blessed day lol!😁💕💕💕💕May the blessings of Jesus pour upon your grape vines for 30+ years
Love the arbor you guys picked for the grapes. We have a customer that has a 100 year old grape vine... it’s more like a tree just about. I can’t wait to buy our property to get clippings from his plant for our own place
You guys are awesome!😎 Thank you!🤗Appreciate what you both do so much! All praise and glory to the Creator of the Universe!🌈
Making Doug and Stacy part of my after work knowledge video. Keep up the good work guys
Awesome! Thank you!
I had been debating what kind of trellis to make and now I know thank Doug and Stacy. P.S. we love the Sun Oven.
I love my sun oven, too! Hard boiled eggs are so easy, I may just live on them! 😁
Praying to get out of the apartment and into a home so I can practice all these wonderful ideas!
You need more than a home. You need a piece of land around it too. How big?
I am so touched by your comment. My sincere prayers 🙏 for your dreams to come true. God bless 🙏.
Me too! I’ve been stuck in a SF townhouse in the middle of the city by the bay and I’m dying here. I feel trapped.
Me too, I am currently looking. So frustrated. Found some great houses but if they're in the flood zone the insurance is $7K or more per year! So, I am still looking. And you don't have to have land. A decent backyard can have lots of growing room.
Start stocking your supplies
I don't know how I missed this one. THANK YOU! 🌻
Omgosh I'm so much like you!...I recycle like you, I eat natural things like you! I have learned so much more from your experiences! Unfortunately, I don't have a hubby like you who is willing to live off the grid which makes it hard to follow through on my desired goals in life. So enjoy all the tips and videos from you both!
Happy I discovered your way of life living under God's glorious Earth!
On hottest summer days it's great to eat lunch under a grape arbor.
Proverbs 31:16
She considers a field and buys it;
From her profits she plants a vineyard. Just ordered some grapes from stark brothers, also some montmorcey cherries..
Thanks for the video!
All the comments made me want to watch the videos
Correct!😍
Amen
Gross, bigoted, bronze age death cult.
@ , are they opening for Black Sabbath on the next tour?
Doug, that is the tidiest barn I have ever laid these tired ole eyes on. I feel humbled . Triple +
Never knew how healthy grape leaves were, thanks!
Thanks for posting this. You folks have a beautiful place!
My wife tells me every time you learn something new you create a new wrinkle in your brain. Thanks Doug and Stacy for all the wrinkles you are putting in our brains. 🍇👩🏼🌾👨🏼🌾
Haha😂
We also use the cattle panels in the arches to make little storage areas for our order tack outside the riding arena. Cover with a tarp and it's a super nice little shelter. 😁🎉
Lovage is an amazing plant. It grows to be about 6 foot tall and bushy and has leaves that taste like a combination of cilantro and celery that you can eat raw. You can also eat the seeds and it gives off many. It is a perennial.
You can cut a stem, cut again below leaves and use it as a drinking straw. Gives water a fantastic flavour.
What a great homestead project to fill your life with many years of health, happiness and food! Looking forward to the beginning of our homestead journey later this year!
I only have a little backyard, but I have planted tomatoes, kale, squash... also face time with my grandkids in another state and they are planting a 'victory' garden too in this crazy time. Thank you for sharing all your ideas! Sending love to all!
Sue B. ....I love hearing about families taking this opportunity to teach their kids things they don’t learn in school. Bravo!!
I only have a small backyard to. Got 2 fruit tree, strawberry, spuds, herbs and going to plant some salad crops as well. Makes me smile when I look out the kitchen window. Simple things eh?
One of the positive things I hope will come of this pandemic is that people start appreciating Nature, food, frugality, generosity, and being self-sufficient. Think of the greenhouse gases we could save if we grew just SOME of our own food. And DON'T spray herbicides nor pesticides. We kill our environment, then we have killed ourselves and loved ones... God save the bees!
Make some raised/hanging gardens if you have space.
Awesome video. I just got some cuttings from a friend and I'm rooting them. I'm hoping to grow grapes this year and your video was a great reminder of the health benefits of grapes. Thank you!
Hey folks, What an incredibly informative fun tremendously enjoyable video you have given us! I am over 60 and I did not know that grape leaves are excellent source of omega fatty acids as well as other about magnesium minerals! thank you so much and may God Richly Bless you both
Nugent or two: Grapes Leaves are good to eat for salads, just like lettuce! This is a nugget Miss Stacy.
I always wanted to like the grape leaves, but unfortunately they are really strong. My grandmother used to make dolmas with cabbage instead, and everyone loved them. I miss those!!
As soon as our land is ready...we want a garden and plants to share with The neighbors, family, and friends.
Just stumbled onto this today. I learned a LOT about grapes! Super interesting and helpful. I might plant some grapes next spring; I don't like them, but my kids and hubby do.
9:14 The wife FINALLY tells us what they are planting. Grapes.
Thank you!
🙏🙏🙏
Into the video 38 seconds and I read your comment. Thank you!
Thanks for this information. So much to learn!! I’m so grateful for your channel!! Blessings to you both!!
Thank you for the advice on eating the grape leaves. I started planting grapes last year for wine and bought more grapes to plant this year. I will definitely be eating the leaves as well.
I really appreciate how you take us with you when your doing regular everyday chores.
We see all sides of off grid living. Thank you
That looks so awesome and gives me great inspiration of what to do in our garden and around the property at my Mom's house.
This is one of the BEST channels I have found as far as information on homesteading! Stacy is SUPER resourceful! And Doug, I LOVE THE BEARD!!! 😃😃😃
I can’t wait to see how the grapes are growing
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and your lifestyle with us!
I love your home, property looks so clean and beautiful. Kudos to you & your hard work.
Great video, I am new to your channel. I started a garden last year and everything is growing well but now we are moving in 60 days and I have to move everything. I love what you both are doing in on the homestead
Some time ago I came across you guys. Now I have subscribed . I enjoy very much your opinions, experiences and willingness to help me make my piece of turf a better place from all four corners. Your fermenting practices have been implemented, water gathering is next. Best wishes to you guys and whatever you put your hands and minds to!
would love to see an update on the grapes and any tips/tricks you have for keeping them, pruning, etc... I tried growing a vine several years ago and had one productive season, then only leaves all the following seasons until I moved.
No I didn't know about the leaves. Thanks
Discard asking for reply
Neither of your replies to my comment make sense
@Kaleb Brown pruning is essential for any new growth. I learned this working for a landscape company. I got fussed at cause I pruned a bunch of roses and the next year, the person that went to prune called me and said he didn't know who pruned these roses last year but there was so many new sprouts and roses on them, he didn't know what to do with them...he was my husband and I couldn't help but to laugh!! Always prune anything you want to grow hardy, right before the healthy small growth...clip about 1/4 inch before the strong small leaf that will be your growth for next year. Getting rid of the ends of the limbs will feed your new leaves and fruits so much better because it's not sending the nutrients to old, unproductive stems and leaves. Hope this helps and is understandable!
@@kalebbrown5916 Ask a local landscape co. to show you how to prune. It's much easier to see someone pruning, showing you what to look for and when the best time to prune different plants and trees. Best wishes for a healthy happy life and healthy, happy plants! Have a blessed week!
I didn’t know all that information about grapes and their leaves. Thanks Stacy for sharing.
Stacy, please tell us more about your grandma and where you learned so much about healthy living.
Thanks for the vids. I thought eventually all the hard work of a homestead would kill the dream, but no, not yet 🌻
Good for you
Oh my goodness Stacey I didn’t know you were Arminian. I’m so glad you mentioned the dolma so cool
We name them, few km further, in Romania: "sarmale"!😀💞
I’ve heard that grape leaf is also beneficial for stopping a cytokine storm. Veggies and wild medicinals never cease to amaze me. God gave and gives us everything we need. Thank you for this video.
If you are using the LEAVES, make sure ONE of your plants has a good dose of blood meal. You won't get any fruit, but you WILL get HUGE leaves! Since these will be here long term, you may want to help out a little by plucking all the fruit OFF, just for the first year. It forces the roots to go deeper, so your plant will be plenty healthy later on. (and keep notes on which one you are putting blood meal on, so you don't end up with TWO not giving you fruit!)
🤔👌
Thanks for the tips, I am going to try to talk my daughter into planting some.
I like pickled grape leaves you can stuff them like stuffed cabbage. 73
@@ronb6182 my favorite dill pickles have whole grape leaves in the brine! When I eat all the pickles, l take the grape leaf, some of the whole dill fronds and the crunchy slices of garlic and roll them all together for a very interesting snack. Then I fet to drink the brine. The grape leaves just give the whole jar a bit more umph!
They're Grillo, by the way. Organic. I just wish they came in glass jars. But I still save the containers to keep my chopped veggies in water.
Why does blood meal prevent fruit?
My grandmother had concord grapes. She was 101 and 5 months old when she passed and was healthy as a horse!🙂
Thanks so much again guys may GOD continue to bless y'all
Also the mulberry leaf is loaded with amino acids (protein).
Tried the ever bearing Razzmatazz grapes this year. A cross between green grapes and muscadine. Keeps bearing new fruit as it grows all summer and fall. So, not just one single harvest.
Where did you get the vine from?
@@joycegeorge768 I believe that one came from Gurney's.
@@holleymother9026 thank you
Married into a Middle Eastern Family, So I know all the uses for the plant for sure. Damn, Find Food also.
We purchased three semi-dwarf apple trees from Stark Brothers this year. They were very responsive. They shipped the trees to us and we had them within a week. They look incredible. I highly recommend Stark Brothers. When they open back up again we would like to walk around their farm and store.
I am so happy to find you guys, keep them coming please. Peace from Canada.
Thanks for the grape trellis idea, y’all be blessed
Wow who doesn’t like grapes?! Thanks for the framing & planning instructions ❣️. Thanks 🙏🏻
YOU TWO ARE AMAZING! VERY INSPIRING AND FRIENDLY! I LOVE TO WATCH YOU BOTH AND HOPE YOU NEVER STOP SHARING!! 8)
Happening on your channel is pure serendipity. My husband just put up a fence around my garden because we have dogs that can’t seem to leave my plants alone. Lol
I’m relatively new to gardening but I’m so excited. Perfect timing. ✨💯💝
Great channel, great content. Great people. 💝🌎💝
Such a pretty farm! I love stuffed grape leaves but didn't realize how beneficial they are. Thank you :)
Hi. My dad grew grapes in our yard when I was a kid. They were the green type though. I like the recycled pot protection of the plants.
We've always had grapes. If you have raccoons you could lose alot of your grapes right before you harvest. Just as your watching the grapes and say, 'one more week', the raccoons are watching them too and counting the days. We have grape vines all around the back fence of the garden.
Yay.grapes have all the enzymes we need to create proteins. It makes a great tea.
Yes....grape leaves! A lot of folks forget about that as an option.
Doug has to be the happiest man to have a lady like you you are a special kind of lady keep up the good work yall love yall God Bless yall..
So inspiring. Thank you.
Love the arbor! It is so simple but extremely functional! Thanks for the idea ❣️❣️
Great info on the grapes, I had no idea the leaves held so many benefits.
God knows
Love learning about plants and the benefits. You explain it so well. Your channel and videos are Amazing. Thank you! Im definitely going to try planting some grapes.
I want to see the videos of how you folks prune these grape vines.
Look at some videos on CANE & SPUR pruning, you can learn a lot from experts. I ordered a grape called Mars to replace a Concord that was planted many years ago and is in poor condition.
I miss y'all...I must say, I just got so busy worrying, forgot to be grateful!
In this case you can bee Grapeful... two puns in one :)
Growing up in Brooklyn, my Dad had a beautiful grape vine arbor! Every year we had grapes!
Great Video! I’m going to do this! Thank-you, So Much, Doug & Stacy! Also, I want to say, The Concord Grapevines my Grandfather planted after coming to this country, are still thriving up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania!
What a lovely down to earth couple! Dig the roosters too.
Can't wait to see some grapes. Your homestead is looking really beautiful!
Thanks for video. I learn something every time watch these videos.
"We'll look like we're twenty years old next year" 😂. This is my first time watching your videos and the first homestead I've seen with nice grass. I grow organically but love beautiful grass. So is there a secret to do this without using pre-emergents, etc.?
Also I want to thank you, I just bought my first grape plant and was also planning on putting up a cattle panel trellis so this video was just perfect.
Watching your videos while you recover! Keeping the algorythem in your favor!
Oh! My brother did this with his cherry tomatoes and cucumbers. We where amazed at how well it worked. We ended up with more cherry tomatoes than we could use.
Dear Doug and Stacy, so happy for having found your channel. I am your new subscriber. You both are amazing 😊 God bless you 🙏
Thanks ❤
Thanks Doug and Stacy! Look forward to seeing updates on growths of your grapes.
Grape leaves are good to put in jars with cucumbers when canning pickles instead of alum.
Also, stuffed grape leaves= Yum!
Makes the crispy, crunchy and green pickles! Always add them!
This was great, I just built the arbor and have 2 grape vines ready to plant. I am in Florida so the varieties I can grow are limited. My wife is Greek -American so we have Dolmades on a regular basis.
What grapes can I grow here in Florida?
@@mariatorres9789 There are vineyards here in Florida. Lake Ridge Winery on hwy 27 North comes to mind.
@@yolandameier3059 Yes, but I heard they all die within a few years, except the Muscadine? Do they just replant grapes often here?
@@mariatorres9789 oh my goodness muscadine grades are so good for you! Look into that
@@mariatorres9789 Muscadine! Its all over the natural environment, and the trails.
"We'll look like we're 20 years next year" 😂😂😂too cute
