Rewatching videos. Y’all have accomplished so much over the years. It’s a joy to watch.
As I have said previously, you have one of the cleanest, uncluttered and downright beautiful homesteads in all of CZcams land. I keep waiting for you to build an extra cabin to rent out for vacationers just looking for peace and beauty, cause you found the perfect spot for it!
Dawn Finiff That could actually be a great idea.

Lovely. Your hand has been in most of it Doug. Stacy's touch is everywhere. What a complement to each other you are!
You two are great video creators... you feel like family ! Love your music and I especially loved your dog coming from his hiding space and running towards the camera. That was beautiful. Thank you for all the gifts you give to us every time you make a video.
Hi Doug & Stacy, I'm working on the garden part of my homesteading adventure. I was promised a mobile home before I arrived but it fell through and so I'm making do with 560 sq feet in a barn building right now. It's a good shelter and has a metal roof, I'm very happy. Right now my garden is living in containers. It's all about taking steps toward where you or I want to go. One step at a time and seeing the progress unfold is an amazing and wonderful adventure. Safe travels and many blessings. Homestead Wheelie happy for my blessings is making progress. Thank you for all of the information.
You have a fantastic philosophy. The aging in place is a going to be very beneficial to you. Growing flowers can provide food uses as well. Marigolds, basil flowers and cilantro flowers can be eaten. Nice place you have there.
Looking nice you two. I just sold my house a few days ago. HOMESTEAD HERE WE COME :)
Godspeed.
Moby Dave good luck!

Alexis' Fishin', Huntin', and Farming Show wolf the grid by Doug and stays how to build a raised bed
so how'd it go
beautiful place. We're getting ready to move on to our homestead in the next few weeks. I can't wait to start.
Wow! So glad I found this older video! Beautifully done! Love how things have progressed and how some things have continued to work well over the last 3 years!
Wow! That looks like a LOT more than 11 acres! Well planned! I love that your cats follow you everywhere..
LOVED SEEING Y’ALLS HOME AND LAND. BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO ENJOY AND GROW OLDER. GOD HAS BLESSED Y’ALL ❣️
This is the prettiest homestead I have ever seen. You two are awesome.God Bless you.
You are welcome. Truly beautiful. God Bless you both. :-)
May I suggest you to maybe rent or get a drone and your views would probably be pretty happy to see how your land sits. Maybe?
Greeting from Germany!
Wow, looks amazing! We just started our homestead. We bought 10 acres a year ago and we are just starting off. We just got chickens and are still figuring it all out. :-D
congratulations
Stacy is a blessing to my campaign for living as you two do. My wife is not totally on board but she see's Stacy happy and that has REALLY helped soften her up. Looking forward to seeing the outdoor kitchen built!
I appreciate all time you both take putting into these videos! This is truly an inspiration for my family to start building on their offgrid land! Yes... get those fruit trees starter right away take 5 years before you start bear fruit but then you have fruit for generations!
Saw your Life without electricity video with Brad. Four years ago, I left Seattle and moved in with my grandparents on their five acre farm. I now have four generations living together. I planted a large garden and have been raising chickens and ducks. I'd like to go off grid but I'm not there yet. Working towards my goal of living a self sustainable life. It all takes time and work but each day I make progress. Looking forward to learning from your videos as well. Cheers!
WOW, what a great video! The sense of freedom, peacefulness and abundance you have has been truly shared with me...thank you for giving me a moment of joy...thru your life! I aspire to reach that one day!!!!! Your life is BEAUTIFUL!
What a beautiful piece of property. If you want to clean out the scrub, get some goats. Maybe I commented on it before but I'll do so again. In the area of Lower Newton Falls, NJ are the remnants of farms that predate the Revolution with neat thrown stone walls to separate the pastures. Some monied folks moved in and bought up these non-operating farms, they brought in a licensed German shepherd, gave him a small 3 BR house (all fixed up PROPERLY), 250 sheep and about six goats along with hundreds of feet of movable electric fencing. The shepherd kept the flocks moving from area to area while the goats ate all the viney stuff including poison ivy. I saw it about four years after he started and now understand how some of those beautiful English/ Scottish estates are kept in such beautiful condition.What the owners have done appears to be exactly what you have done: Make a plan and work your plan.Thank you for sharing it with us that are not homesteaders.
Your farm is beautiful . I grew up on a homestead in Arkansas. A great way to grew up . love seeing people keeping it real
God has blessed you through all your hard work. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! Your homestead is my dream.
WOW!!! The amount of thought, planning and work that goes into homesteading is absolutely mind-staggering! My *new beginning* will not take place for another 3 years. I have the *aging* accomplished, now all I need is the *in place*. LOL Thank you for sharing your lives and information. You both have enriched the lives of MANY. What a blessing it is to have you in our lives!!! What a BEAUTIFUL homestead you have!!! I can't hardly wait until the outdoor kitchen is done, so I can view the video while strumming on my is that a strumstick. LOL LOVE & PRAYERS...
Nice Video! We have just purchased 13 secluded acres in NW Pa. All but about 2.5 acres are woods and deer trails. With our family, we envision having a semi cleared central pavilion to use at regular yearly intervals. We are both in/approaching 60 and have background of parents who grew & canned annually, as part of life. We are craving a return to this lifestyle and see this investment as a step in that direction.
Wonderful video! I love all of your cats and other animals running free.. beautiful 🍁
All your hard work and knowledge accumulation has really paid off.
The last shot from the roof really put it all in perspective! Thanks for the tour!
I love it - thanks for sharing. Altho I have lived in Washington State for about 30 years, I grew up in Indiana (West Lafayette). Your tour made me "homesick." Much appreciated.
Looks like a well organized clean homestead.
I can hardly wait to see your outdoor kitchen when it is done. I was really happy to see the finished outdoor kitchen on An American Homestead. They do so much canning and now they can do it outside where it would be cooler. They used the maple syrup cooker to to some of the processing this year and they could get more done quickly. Thanks for the tour.
We have 5 acres in a 1930's farm home and just discovered your video's. I want to garden and need to learn. I planted a bunch of veggies last year but not a one produced anything. I hope I will learn something with your videos. :)
one thing I notice and love about you is the clean and neat aspect of ALL your areas...even your barn cats seem tidy . not sure how you do it...as in keeping up with it all plus all the other things that you do
Excellent tour! You two always appear to be so laid back, relaxing, porch sitting that I never dreamed what was going on at your place on a daily basis.
Doug and Stacy thanks, I have been wondering how big 11 acres was, so this was great to see.
Thanks for sharing your piece of heaven with us. I know you guy's have worked hard to get where you are now. But it's all worth it. Y'all have put a lot of thought into every inch of that property. Great job guy's..
The land where you live is so beautiful.
thank you for letting us have a look at your home was nice of you .
'Tis a gift to be simple....'Tis a gift to be free.
Nice property. Thanks for sharing. We purchased 10 acres last year and I have been afraid that it was too small to do all that I want to do. But, with your videos, I am seeing the light! Thanks again for sharing.
Thanks for the tour!
You guys are amazing as is your homestead. The land you have and your enthusiasm for it is inspiring. I'm enjoying making my way through your updates.
Many thanks
Mike in the UK
Thanks for sharing your home. It is nice that you both are involved and speak about equally.
i think 11 would be to many for me but i am very impressed and rather wish it could be mine... fantastic Doug and Stacy, God bless you both.
Beautiful. That is a dream property that I will never have but so glad I can watch this over and over and just dream...... I would love to see another mini tour of your property during the winter with snow on the ground. thanks.
It's cool to go back and watch some of your older videos and see what everything looked like in the past and compare it to all the changes you guys have made now.
A lot going on in a short time eh?
Exactly!! You guys have done an amazing job
It appears your large building is alot closer to the house in this video. Some videos it looks as though it's quite a ways away. The view while driving really helped picturing the layout. Thanks for sharing with all of us!
I very much appreciate your openness and the reality of your lifestyle.
Doug and Stacey...
I was an instant subscriber to your Off Grid channel... I Love it!! 😊
You two certainly know what you're doing; whether by previous know-how, research, or self-taught and learning as you go along... or a combination of it all. Whatever it is, you two have a good thing/system going for yourselves..a beautiful and admirable home, land and lifestyle.
Love your positive outlooks and great character...plus, you two make an awesome team.
As always, thanks for sharing your videos and giving us virtual tours of your lovely, back-to-basics way of living! ✌🏡💚🌿🌳
Thanks for the tour!
I love your videos! I am in the process of developing my 7 acre property.
Really nice presentation and wonderful homestead. you have it going on in so many ways.
The Midwest is amazing. I lived 20 years 100 miles West of Wichita. Somewhat drier than where you are but still good productive land. Not many running creeks anymore due to all the irrigation pulling down the aquifer. You mentioned "hedge" or "Bois Darc". Amazing stuff and yes it will melt your stove. Absolutely the best for posts.
I noticed all the cats, do you feed them or allow them to work for you and keep rodents away?
What a neat place. You should think about doing a farm B&B to supplement your income and educate people on what it's like to live on an off-grid homestead. I'll bet you could make an easy $100 per family per day. I have stayed at several over the last several years and I have really enjoyed them. Thanks for sharing.
I love watching ya:ll , hit or miss. I love the video's of how to do ...... with both DOUG and with STACEY. thank ya:ll for all ya:ll do...... Keep them coming.
You say you haven't got any fruit off your apple trees. You know that most apples are not self pollinating and need a suitable "mate" in order to bear fruit. As you live in a remote are you wont get the cross pollination required. It is worth speaking to a local nursery to find the best match for your trees.
Your property is just beautiful. God Bless you.
I love it all. Here I have orange trees, figs, lemons, and a garden that I am trying to improve daily. I mulch with hay, but it sure is costly. I have to pay $12 a bale. In the winter I mulch with leaves. I love your cats. I had 12, but they have slowly grown old and 6 have died. The oldest is 17 and the youngest is 12.
Stacey & Doug could you do another video like this, when it warms up in spring of 2023!?
LOVE LOVE LOVE !!!! So at around 14:40, you can hear a Peacock calling from someone else place! LOL Awesome!
One nice thing for aging in place with the raised beds that I haven't seen anyone talk about is you don't have to bend over as far to get the table fare, easier on your body as age makes it harder to get around.
You two have a wonderful place thanks for sharing. Thanks,happy thanks giving
I've been vacillating between buying a boat and retiring or do as my daughter would like and retire on an acre of her land, age in-place sounds like sage advice.
Awesome channel! Just stumbled across your virtual haven today... great stuff! Thanks for sharing your perspectives and experience. Peace to you.
I love all your videos. Even the older ones
Thank you for sharing. We planted 5 apple trees 7 years ago and ever got any fruit till this year. We did prune them back this spring so not sure if that why they produced fruit this year and boy do we have the apples this year. Love your place. We also have 10 acres.
A very well presented and nicely shot video Doug & Stacy. Thanks for the tour....gleaned some good ideas on layouts for when our time comes. cheers from OZ.
Enjoyed the video. As we plan our homestead, we're always on the lookout for a layout and ideas. You two have a lovely property and beautiful home. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful, free-spirited couple😊
Lucky you. You guys have big bucks to live off grid in the most raw essential ways!!!
My Father told me when they were home they planted buckwheat makes really nice honey for the bees and you can feed it to your chickens!
It looks so peaceful
Excellent tour! And my sun oven just arrived, so THANK you for that inspiration.
Thanks for the tour! Nice to see how my homies have setup the homestead.
Nice tour, I especially liked the tip about planting fruits first thing.
You have a wonderful place. You are right water is a must have!!!! Number one thing to look for when hunting a place. My place had water rights and springs on 42 acres. But age caught up with me and I sold it. I now live in a small town that allows animals and poultry. Turned the large back yard into raised fardens and two coops for 12 hens. You can take the women out of the farm but not the farm out of the women. 72 and still a farmer.
hi Doug and Stacey I was just thinking about your fruit trees and I remember something about the French using hoops and staking are there apple trees and fruit trees to get a better yield and also the tree gets a better proportion of sunlight and on the plus side they are closer to the ground for picking maybe something you might want to check out, another traditional Victorian methods where to Stake the fruit tree to a brick wall where the heat permeate back into the trees during the evening or training it around a wire fence this food for thought all the best Chris
Doug n Stacy wow you are beautiful people
Love light n peaceful life to you n yours
Very interesting to see your layout. Just started raised beds but thinking aboutmoving them closer to the house. I’m 66 years old and having knee issues. Keeping everything close would make it easier on me.
Love the look and layout of your place. It's so cool now to see it from the drone.
Rooftop view was fabulous, as was the drive along. Love seeing all the animals. My homestead must have is definitely a cat. I really dislike small rodents leaving calling cards all over everything.
Great vid for a perspective everyone wants to see. Now for the personal question that no one ever answers. How much? How much does land go for in your area? That is the question everyone wants to know. I'm in the corn belt metropolitan peppered area and open space like that cost 8k to 15k an acre on average. Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin. 5k an acre min. for large properties.
Wow! Can you do a new video about walnuts and all that beautiful creek land?
How cool! I didn't realize you guys were close in our neck of the woods so to speak lol.
WOW, you guys have done a lot since I was last there. Looking forward to seeing the out door kitchen.
those kitties are following you all over, I love them!! I have 6 myself =)
You have a piece of heaven.
Such a gorgeous property! Thank you so much for sharing your homesteading experience. x from Germany
Doug & Stacy, Your homestead is lovely! Looks very peaceful.
Beautiful homestead.
Nice layout...I had to laugh when you said plant your trees early...reminds me of Jed Clampett's tip whenever he's asked for one..he always says, "plant yer corn early"...love the video!!
Absolutely beautiful! I love the way you all have everything set up, especially the raised bed area.
I love your channel. I just showed my aunt your page.....
Thanks for the tour. What beautiful property you have developed.
I admire you guys I wish we can do what you guys are doing
hello homesteaders!!! just checking you out I LOVE this lifestyle. I hope to have a homestead one day.. all in good time. right now we live in a community trying to sell pigs in Vermont. Salisbury Vermont. it's beautiful here. but very tough.
Scissors, sharpenners and razors . Don't forget to bring with you to your new homestead . 😊🙊👍
Wow beautiful place you have , we are buying 13 acres in new mexico . can't believe how big that is.. Now we have an idea .
New homestead homey here !! love your CZcams channel
So beautiful!!!!!!!!! Have you ever thought of building a small cabin on your homested, that has small living area,bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette and rent it out, so people could live there for a week or month and see it they would like real homesteding?
Or people like me, who are older and missed doing this could experience when younger and able to make a homestead, what simple living with organic food is really like, sot of like a bed and dinner place. The renter could fish, help wth animals,harvest plant and have a fun,healthy vacation! Let me know I want to sign up!
Thank you for your tour.
Thanks so much for sharing the tour of your farm. love how you have it set up. wish we lived in that part of the worlk now. did live in NW Ark, dairy many years ago. bless you both and love all your videos, not as home sick for my old life. Jeanne
