Impressive Homestead Produces Tons of Food & Uses Solar Power, Rainwater & Bio Gas
Family homesteading for 15 years on the edge of the Australian bush. This family grows and raises an incredible amount of food with their fruit trees, vegetable gardens, laying hens and sheep. They preserve their harvests with canning, dehydrating, freezing, smoking and fermenting. They also try to reduce their impact by collecting rainwater for their home and gardens (except the kitchen sink), offsetting their electricity usage with solar power, cooking with their woodstove, solar ovens and home bio gas system.

Nice 🎉❤
Ok so how much does a yurt cost?
What a great story.
Couldn't do the only person😊 your not terrified by yourself at night?
The home is gorgeous. It has so many interesting things to look at, so that it looks bigger. Hard to explain but the home is beautifully put together and with an artist's eye. So much to look at that it seems bigger perseptually. Could also add on if you need more space. I love that the home is not just the basic four walls and a roof, it is decoratively built. It is nourishing to the human spirit to live surrounded by beauty and comfort. Great job!!
I’d love to buy a ram lamb off you some time in the future if you’re interested!
Just a beautiful renovation! Absolutely stunning and so livable ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
as a female, i couldnt do it
These kiddos have such a beautiful life
Silly American here, Kansas City… love your accent
"floats"
A beautiful build.
This Video isn't just about gardening, but also about life
Thank you! This means very much to us! ❤
Hm. I always had this idea that a "sailboat" would have sails, perhaps. But what do I know....
She’s so inspiring! I love her garden! I love how she built her garden. Appreciate her advice about growing a garden.
Cool job. She is lucky
I would love to do a caretaking job like this.

Great kitchen, bathroom, and living room! I can’t personally do a loft for sleeping.
CONGRATULATIONS.😊
Nice channel ! What zone are you located in? I have been enjoying my mini farm for 30 plus years in zone 10 Florida which is seriously challenging in certain ways.
Great job 👏

Невероятно... Молодой мужчина самостоятельно сумел создать подобное...Это невероятно! Но , думаю, нужны деньги , чтобы осуществить, воплотить в жизнь подобную идею...
The quality of the materials used in the build makes the house exceptionally beautiful. Well done Matthieu
Do you remove the apple seeds when making juice?
I like it. So pretty.

Come on out here in jamaica and do something, that'd be absolutely fantastic plus you'd get loads of enthusiasts ready to learn more n potentially loads of customers if it proves to be more affordable than traditional builds. Thank u...
Could you give me some more information on the Bio Gas set up and where you got it from? Looks awesome. Love your set up.
The setup is called a HomeBiogas and comes as a kit. We got it in 2019 and really love it. We have a vid on it on the channel which goes into a bit of detail (but really need to do a more up to date one, as it was one of our 1st vids).
What edition of D&D does this man play?
Winter??
You guys are pretty amazing!!
I’m doin thiiiiissss
This homestead is an absolute dream. And that biogas setup is brilliant! A place to put your kitchen scraps that gives you liquid fertilizer and cooking gas?! Wow. Please share the how-to with us!
We filmed a video on the HomeBiogas back when we started the channel, so is pretty 'rustic' 🤣 but it gives a bit of an overview of the system.
why not terrace more of the slope?
Why do her regular sentences sound like questions ? .
amazing! just heard about this on the jre. as an electrician I love the conduits. so muricans gon be livin in houses that can hold off the wind huh?
