I just found your channel. I'm glad I did. Your videos are so soothing 💜
You can really see the work and time you have spent making your life beautiful! ❤
Your wood cuts are wonderful Laura. I'm new to this channel but I've been working my way through all the videos. You are a pair of hard workers and I wish you success in all you do. From Northern Ontario, Canada.
Hi from New Zealand.
You are very hardworking and an inspiration. I can see many ideas that I can utilise here on our property ❤
I'm happy to hear that!
Greetings from Texas! Your property seems magical, it is soooo charming. Your gardens, animals, buildings and art are lovely. Thank you for your videos!
Ahw so sweet! You're welcome!
Greetings from the Netherlands! Thank you for sharing this heartwarming video ❤
Wat een te gekke plek hebben jullie daar opgebouwd! Groeten uit Rotterdam.
Bonjour de France, j'adore regarder vos vidéos tellement inspirantes ❤❤❤
You have a beautiful garden 😍
You Wonderful Creator Beings!
I've been there since the first episode and I'm so happy for you. Now I have a heartfelt request: Give the bunnies a little more freedom of movement 🙏🏼 they would certainly like to be able to do one or the other sprint and hop in the air. Nearby, goats, chickens and rabbits live together in a large orchard meadow and it is a pleasure to see how the rabbits love to run. The owners told me that the goats keep birds of prey away from chickens and rabbits.
With Love from the bottom of my heart,
vanessa
Hi Vanessa! Thanks so much for your comment! Yes about the bunnies, we're currently working on a new ren for them below a few fruit trees :) Some of them will be in rabbit tractors during the growing season , and then part of the year in a bigger enclosure. That's a lovely system there it seems in that orchard setting. I wonder if they also would keep males rabbits together there? Ours would just fight if we don't separate them sadly :)

Thank you for all these good videos! I love watching you work and live, you are so inspiring! Blessings from Canada.❤
Beautiful living ❤
We had a couple of nightly frosts in Tallinn, but now at the end of October, its over +10 days and nearly +10 nights. Even the grapes growing outside managed to ripen.
Hmm grapes sounds delicious! yes many places in Europe the weather has been pretty warm for the time of year! I'm still enjoying my frost sensitive flowers outside :p

Paulownia tree interesting video: czcams.com/video/N9C58mHRnQc/video.html Огромная плантация павловнии на Иссык-Куле. Бизнес на лесе. Спилили, а он вырос. Где тут подвох?
I love watching how you keep improving your homestead! Beautiful woodwork by Jonas, your prints are amazing, the goats, rabbits, vegetables, lovely tomatoes, your cat. I hope one day I can do my own homestead. You are an inspiration! Try putting some seaweed/kelp in your sauerkraut, it is very nurishing for humans too, not only for the soil. Keep on the good work!
That's interesting , that of seaweed! I might give that a try! Thank you so much, and good luck for setting up your own place someday!
Jonas you are wonderful woodworker. I am in
wonder at what you mold together to make
great furniture and outdoor pieces of art! You
should be so self satisfied! Cheers Sandy&Andy❤
Hello from Lakeway Texas. Thank you for your beautiful video and for sharing the building of your Homestead. Very inspiring.
I have watched from the beginning and I’m so amazed what you guys have achieved 😊so proud 🥲
Your life keeos getting better and better! To be
by the sea is such a treat! Cheers from Canada!❤
You two people are no stranger to hard work.All the best Canada.
About first frost, it was strange this year in Lithuania. It was way too early (09.03) and interesting thing about it, nothing died because of that. I mean not even tomato's outside :)
Hi Laura, Jonas,
If you watch some videos, with Zep Holzer Permaculture , perhaps you can find some useful idea, how to build your pond. Good luck and God bless you!
what you have done is amazing! so beautiful and resilient, well done to both of you!
Olá, sou do Brasil, mais que maravilha de lugar é um paraíso. Sou novo aqui no canal, vcs estão de parabéns. Abraços.

Is there a video on the timber gates? Thanks for the video
Wat een prachtige plek! Ik kijk heel graag naar jullie videos :-). Ik hoop iets soortgelijks op te zetten met mijn kleine gezin en deze videos zijn geweldige inspiratie.
Ahw leuk om te horen!! Zijn jullie al aan het uitkijken naar een plekje? Heel spannend, veel succes ✨
@@The.Land.of.Slow.Living Oh wat leuk on een berichtje terug te krijgen! Ik voel me 'slightly star struck'. Wij wonen in Canada, op de prairies maar hopen noordelijker bij de bossen een mooie plek te vinden. Het klimaat hier is zeker een uitdaging, met korte zomers en extreme kou in de winter (-50 celcius is komt regelmatig voor) en heel veel sneeuw, maar het is prachtig hier.. en betaalbaar :-). We gaan morgen naar een 'property' kijken, prachtig plekje aan het rand van de wildernis. Fingers crossed!
@@northerndreamcanada Wauw wat een uitdaging. Klinkt als een mooi avontuur, geniet ervan! sjonge -50C is wel heel pittig ;) Ik duim mee, ik herinner me nog heel helder onze eigen zoektocht naar land en hoe spannend dat was. :)
@@The.Land.of.Slow.Living Bedankt! 🙂
You need a studio for all your art.
I agree haha :) One day hopefully!!
I have been watching your videos from the beginning
Did you put deer fencing around the garden?
Do you guys have any favourite books/resources about natural building and homesteading?
Here are some resources we've used in the past year: in regards to gardening: The booklet ' the art of composting' from Koanga,- 'The Mittleider gardening course'- from Jacob Mittleider and the youtubechannel 'Gardening like a viking', which are three completely different approaches to gardening, but diversity gives resilience. Building: we like the books of Ben Law, his roundwood timberframing books. Hope that helps ;)
