Absolutely one of my favorite Porch Times ever!! Cannot find a local co-op to save my life. You mention the lack of taste in today's food and "food products" but don't forget the lack of nutrition. Vitamin and mineral content is significantly less than times past. I am raising 6 kids as best I can to not fall into a nanny state mentality. It is so hard when the other voices tell them "Just go get it at WalMart, it would be EASIER." I loathe that word "easier" now. To me the cry for immediacy and convenience has crowded out the desire for quality and good health. You use the word "homesteading" but I try to say self-sufficiency. There is a literal war on self-sufficiency today. Thank you Danny.

You made some very good points. I was born in 1987 and I know what real food taste like. My dad had a garden every year to save money and better food. I didn’t do it myself when I first moved out because I thought I didn’t have enough land. Then I found out about container gardening and have been doing that for several years. I expand every year and will have a bigger garden in the near future. The wife and I are planning on buying property hopefully in the next year.

Plenty of young folks know about homesteading. It's the under 40 crowd who are currently moving back into the country and buying up gentlemen's farms to grow their own produce like our grandparents did. It's our parents who took us off our grandparents farms and moved us to the city, buying up all the processed foods they could to make us as stupid and fat as they could.

Danny, I've got to say,..this was the absolute BEST video I've seen since I started watching homesteading videos over a year ago. Oh so true! I was raised on a real homestead myself. I lived at at my Granny's back in mid 60's til the late 70's in the country back when southern Marlboro Maryland, was still tobacco farms. Boy did I love that old 100 yr old farmhouse. We grew nearly all our food. I remember those implement stores as a kid. When I started working my career sent me in to the suburbs down in FL. I always missed the country so right before I retired I bought land where I could do most anything I wanted. I had to go far away from my area to find it and afford it. You are so right about growing the food, the cost of land and everything else. I ended up paying 6k an acre and that was cheap considering the prices in FL today. So I bought up in Northeast Alabama on lookout mountain. It's like going back in time where I'm at. Literally it's like 50 yrs in the past. We still have an old store where you can buy seed by the pound but nearly as many items we used to have. Up here, we also have a syrup mill on the road I'm living but the guy who ran it passed away a couple years ago and his older siblings who own it don't make the syrup anymore since he passed. It's really sad. It just sitting there. It used a community event on syrup making weekend every year. But anyway, I'm glad I bought this place and moved up here because we still have most of the old way of life here. The locals don't like progress. Lol Im glad about that but glad that they even accepted me when I came here. But.. there's not many places left like this anymore. I hope homesteaders fight back to keep the Gov and new progress out of what few rural area communities we do have left. Anyhow,..Great video! I would love to continue hearing more on this subject. I feel it's important for younger homesteaders to hear about the old ways and hopefully it will inspire them. We need help to preserve what's left. The more young folks we get to start homesteading, it will save their lives.

To make ends meet, I make and sell pies, pound cakes, homemade cheese, jams and jellies and homemade soap. I can't advertise, and have sell by word of mouth, because I'm technically breaking the law! You can't have a "bake sale" anymore without the FDA up your butt! I don't have chef's training, or licenses, and what I make is like my grandmother made. I use lard and cultured butter, and people that buy what I make always come back for more because it doesn't taste like what you get from the store. As for the weather - You're area is dry as a popcorn fart, and down here, we've had daily rain since the 4th of May!! It's been so cloudy that my tomatoes bloom but don't form tomatoes!!

Danny, I'm 72 & I certainly remember the stores you're talking about. They existed even when I was raising my kids. I hear what you're saying about the price of land but our wages were a lot lower then too. Forty some years ago, when California became so over-populated that land was more important than food production, dairy farmers sold out for huge profits. Many of them moved here to Idaho & built new dairies on land cheap enough to enable them to build huge homes as well. The cows on these dairies live better than most of us do! Now they say Idaho is one of the fastest growing states; guess those cows might be looking for new homes before long.

This is a year -old video but, applies today. I only have one store near me selling canning jars in A limited supply. The glass is not as thick as what I grew up with. We were a family of four Living in Wisconsin. Nearby creek we would fish at with bamboo poles with red and whit bobbers. The bait was dug up earthworms from our property. It was a punishment to eat dinner as I ate everything from the garden and plump sweet blueberries from the woods on our property. I was always taken mushroom picking as I always had a sense of where to find the mother load. I had a favorite apple tree I would climb up on and as long as there were apples, I was there. I learned quickly to pick the very best apple and would notice a worm already attacked...I finally to eat it from the other side watching for the worm. When we moved far south, ai loved the beaches and not having to wear heavy clothing, but got used to it and had citrus trees, papaya, and the best watermelon which we didn’t bother planting as a large football-shaped watermelon cost one dollar, a two pound bag of Peaches were sixty five cents with a free one to try. I’ve told people that we never needed a knife to cut Steak as a fork would break it apart...no chewing needed for thirty seconds. The planting guide is the One in your head now and common sense. Late frosts, early winter, too hot summer sun with Dryness, then flooding. Thank you for sharing all this info. Just st sharing because you always do!

Good grief Danny your right about the weather. Mike and I planted 4 rows of Contenders. Every single seed came up and put on the 1st set of true leaves. They were beautiful...until the big rain came. When we walked the garden we were shocked! Every green bean, the squashes that were just up and other plants that were flowering took a direct hit. We started removing all the damaged leaves. Our garden was so amazing. We did fertilize with fish emulsion to give them all a boost. That greenhouse has moved up on the list. We also have noticed that what needed alot of sun actually need less sun. We are waiting to see what the weather does with Kilauea spewing into the atmosphere. The winds of change are shifting and we must adapt to thrive. When we moved to our place we asked the folks at the farm and ranch center if there was a Co-Op here and the lady said I don't know let me ask. She came back and said the lady she worked with didn't know. She finally said they really didn't know what a Co-Op was. Both were older than us. Be blessed ya'll.

Megan Loop dont wait longer than you have to. quickly begin your homestead step at a time and share knowledge and your journey with all your friends and family. show them the way. Teach them by having them help you get going then help them get going when they are ready. In the mean time buy some things for your homestead at garage sales and resale stores. Its amazing how cheap you can get things there to get started. Start learning how to preserve hour harvest so you are ready when your harvests come in. We started a large garden in 2017 without sod busting on terrible sandy soil. I bought heirloom seeds on clearance last fall for 5 cents a pack and planted 60 tomatoes and peppers for 10 cents plus cost of seed starter mix. Got almost 100% germination. Grew my own from seed for the first time this year. I grew many other vegetables from seed too this season. They look awesome after a month in the ground using the Back to Eden method (woodchips) we are zone 4 upper midwest USA. NO MORE WALMART/HOME DEPOT BONNIE PLANTS FOR ME. At 3.50 a plant????? Never knew it was so easy to start plants so cheap at home. I used large CFL bulbs with el cheapo clamp light fixtures on a cheap plastic 4 shelf unit. I feel so blessed to finally have a vegetable garden and will can, dehydrate and freeze my harvest. We find the Back to Eden really works well for us. GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Good evening Danny. Thank you so much for this message. Your words are true. One other thing that I remember about our fruit exchange/farm store, is they knew your name and everyone had an account even though most people never used that account because they paid cash. We saved all year long to purchase what we needed. I remember the tomato, sweet potato and pepper plants in bundles and getting the bundles in large wooden crates that we ended up using for nesting boxes with the chickens. I remember butching the chickens, hogs, cows and so on. Yep, there are so many things we had that we no longer have access to. We need to support the homestead community in any way we can from buying and sharing seeds, information or whatever because it is this homestead community that is going to make it through the terrible times that are ahead. This IS a fight and with the Grace of God, we will succeed.

The old farmers w hundreds of acres WERE buying up ALOT of land but now its getting too exoensive for them. I also see farming practices in place that led to Dust Bowl conditions. I have NO trees around for MILES but what weve planted. I agree w you on Tractor Supply, the plants they have are dead and the seed is OUTRAGEOUSLY priced.

I even put some pole beans straight into the ground without presoaking etc. All the rain for days at a time made em come up. Now its in the 90s. I think the end game is to make everyone need the mark of the beast to survive. They are doing everything possible to stop mankind from being self sufficient. That doesnt fly in a socialist regime, which is where we are quickly headed. The beast system is rapidly rising.

We're about the same age. I agree with much of what you said. I feel our weather has been like an annomilly about 1968, with exception that our temp are more extreme now. Don't know if this is possible in your homestead, compared to my half acre homestead, but I found a great spray for powdery mildew. I apply to rows that have grown about 6 inches tall, and every few weeks later. I use a watering can, and make up 5 or more batches. Sometimes I use souring milk instead of dry milk. It's at greenbeanconnection.wordpress2/bean-veggies/:Prevents Powdery Mildew. To each gallon of water add: 1 aspirin 1/2 t. liquid dish soap 1/4 c. non-fat dry milk 1 T. baking soda + ive added to recipe: 1 t. molasses for soil life Greenbeanconnection explains what each ingredient does. Without this, I get a short pea harvest these days ( versus old days when they'd produce for 2 months without needing spray). Additionally, I hang a large yellow sticky trap upwind. It's to get the gnats that I think are the carrier. Seems to work for me. I get a few other beneficials, but also tons of gnats. I read I should use blue traps, but the yellow work for me. When it gets hot and things like peas are done, I remove traps so that I don't get too many pollinators.

I’ve never had a problem planting okra but seeds I’ve saved for years and seeds others have given me and store bought seeds nothing has come up yet. Out of probably 100 seeds planted. This is the first time in my life I have ever gone to a store and bought okra plants to transplant. I didn’t even know you could do that till this year. Same thing with our sunsets here too. I don’t remember the last time I saw a clear sunset. It’s always “cloudy” around the sunset. Well keep on trying here as that’s all we can do is try.

Between the weather and the environment, the place to start is indoors. Grow sprouts and microgreens and you can have salad every day of the year. I've also grown cherry tomatoes and bell peppers inside and eaten them all year long. Look at aGardenPatch's Grow Boxes. I'm thinking I should put those inside a greenhouse or hoophouse. They aren't cheap, but if they keep the soil the right wetness and fertilize to produce more than you can growing in the ground, that could be worth it. You can grow most things in raised beds or even fabric pots -- even potatoes. So you can get started with all of this before you have land. And you don't need nearly as much land if you use excellent soil and fish-based fertilizer.

County snowplows have been plowing gravel from driveways and mud from fields off the road. 3) an inspector has been visiting flea market and shops looking for independent meat and dairy sellers. Wanting to know from whom they are getting eggs, apple butter etc from.- 4)farmers die off, lazy kids inheriting it and selling to developers. These extravagant houses with 4 acre striped lawns. Beautiful, fertile, profitable land, now nothing more than a landscaped conversation piece for the occupants visitors. Thank you for these raw and real Porch Times, and Wanda for her say and take in other videos. It’s a real joy to have y’all to gather information, good, solid information.

I don’t know how I missed this Porch Time but I am glad I found it today. We still have a old feed store in town that I regularly visit. When I was a kid my grandpa took me there at least once a month when he went to buy various feeds and gardening supplies. There was much more to it back then…30+ years ago but it still has that smell. I love going there now because it reminds me of him. You are right, most folks don’t know what real food taste like. Home grown tastes wayyyyy better. We butcher chickens a couple times a year and people ask “Why? You can go to the store and buy it🤷♀️? “ I ask them have they ever seen the chickens that get processed for sale at the store? They are sad, stressed birds. No color in their combs and wattles. Raised in their own filth not on grass and sunshine. Our chickens are happy and stress free raised on grass and sunshine. Clean and vibrant. You are what you eat, and people eat stressed, unhappy, and filthy meat. No wonder people are so stressed and unhappy.

Great porch time Danny! Spot on. I miss the good old days. So true about the food in stores. I remember going to an ice house to buy big blocks of ice to put in front of fans and water coolers. Nothing like coming from the outside heat of summer into the ice house. Our property & homes (as of now anyways) are the only thing we own but others controls what we do with it & how we do it. They have laws and restrictions on everything. What ever happened to being free and having good old common sense? A world where a hand shake or word meant something.

Glenokla OMG I remember having an ice house down the street from us! Those were the days. We had a small commercial bakery right off the railroad tracks across the street that had a train car sitting for days with huge sacks of flour and sugar inside. Us kids would sneak into the bakery and take a couple fresh chocolate iced donuts. We also had a small potato chip snack warehouse up the street where the chips were in large tins and not bags! Little mom and pop grocery stores that butchered their own meats in the back dotted all over the town. This brings back so many memories. Oh the good old days. 😀

Yes, those was the good old days Janette Lavender. My father's mother owned and ran such a grocery store. At the time she didn't have a bathroom or running water in the store. You had to do your business out in the old coal shed. Then come inside and wash your hand in the wash basin. Every school day she would fix the school kids sack lunches. Back then she let people shop there and just charge their food. Needless to say, when she shut down the store many years later a lot of people still owed her money that she never got but she died rich. Many hungry mouths got food and that was the most important thing. We also had a couple of those stores in my home town but they've been out of business for many years now. It's such a shame. I always loved the ice house. We didn't have ac until I was 16. It sure felt so good in the hot humid summers. We grew up in the country so going to town was a big deal. Now I own a home in a town and wished I was in the country.

God bless you. I feel the same way. I was born in 1964. I grew up in the military. We moved every 6 months to a year. My mother and father never planted things, every tho both of their parents were homesteaders. One in Arkansas and the other is here in Wichita Kansas. Both of my sets of Grand parents were great gardeners. On vacations we got to help on the homestead. The best times of my life. Both farms were a little more than an acre. If they didn't grow it, raise it, shoot it or catch it, they didn't eat. Everyone had jobs and responsibilities. Mine was the chickens. From hatching to butchering, had to be done, or you don't eat. I loved the hogs. I me friends with a baby pig, early one summer. By fall my baby pig had to be prepared for early retirement, In a sense. That was hard. But come next summer, there was new babies on the homestead. Today, I crave that, but due to having to live in apartments I had window gardens. For the first time, I actually have a small garden. Lots of my favorite plants and flowers.. I started everything in 4 foot diameter kids swimming pools.i used leaves to fill the bottom and composted chicken manure. As well as in a smaller garden im using as a test project. Early sun with chicken manure compost, the larger with composted leaves and potting soil with organic fish emission . Both are amended with Epsom salt and bone meal and calcium. We will see before to Long how this test will go. My onions aren't doing awesome in afternoon sun, but love a less direct all day sun. I have 3 test areas with onions. One has to work. So far the all day filtered sun is in the lead by at least an inch. Tomatoes are performing different. One is in the swimming pool, with the stalk planted parallel in in the soil. OMG it's got five tomatoes. It's compost with leaves and amended soil. Another 20 tomatoes plants are different varieties as well as Cherry tomatoes, yummy. They will be split up in test gardens. They are slower growing, but look beautiful with all the blooms it's in Just like a forest floor. Can't wait to see how tall and how full of fruit they get. Take care my friend. I I'm learning allot of what I remembered as a child. Just don't wear like green pants around a rooster, lol not a happy ending. At least for the rooster. He sure tasted good.

Brother Danny this was such an inspirational video I really appreciate you and wonder from the bottom of my heart and you are so right when you asked the Lord to bless your food he will bless it I promise you at guess I order organic as much as possible when I can't get it to go to the farmers market I have a small container garden because my soil down here on the coast is just horrible so I put good soil in my large containers and I pray over them sometimes they do good sometimes they don't my nerves just do wonderful and I love fresh herbs in my cooking I'm telling you what people better take note they better learn how to ferment if they don't know how to can they confirm it vegetables like crazy it's healthy is really good for your stomach ball on Amazon Prime has that fermented kit that really works I use it to the letter and oh I can tell such a difference. So brother and sister in the Lord you just keep up the great work don't you worry about what anybody saying they don't know they've been brainwashed or else they have a brain freeze so you just keep on doing the Lord's work and bringing the news to us because we really appreciate both of you so much.

I moved to Southeast Alabama in 1986, in the rural areas property was selling for around $450 an acre. That same exact property is now selling for $5,000 an acre. I was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida. I remember my dad telling me that there was areas that were very much country Backwoods. That land is now selling for 30 and $40,000 easily. If I had the money I would invest my money in the Backwoods of Alabama because it's Prime real estate 20 years from now. We still have folks that live in houses without Plumbing. I know several folks that still use an outhouse. In my area some things just have not met the modern day codes that you talk about. I know two of them folks that still use a pump through their kitchen window to pump water into their house and they hit it on a gas stove so they can take a bath. Will the simple small wash rag in a washtub. Yes here in Alabama we still have old timey folks that I can gather my wisdom from about how they did things back in the day. And some of them still do it the old school way like you talked about in your video. I talk into a microphone on my Android phone so forgive my misspellings and just read between the lines

Good morning Danny..you are all fired up this morning..and you are so right on the money..we are blessed in our area with many family farms...our college offers agricultural classes and many students are starting their own homegrown agri businesses..we have a farmer owned coop where we can buy real farm implements and they will put you in touch with farm members who can help you if you need help finding products at local farms such as animals, hay etc. some local libraries also offer seed saver veggie seeds for free.. Before we brought our property, I made sure we were in a "right to farm" community, which we are and I checked with town hall too, so we are adding to our homestead as we go.. Love your insights and tidbits, and rants Danny.. We will keep on keepin on..

Another good Porch Time; I really enjoyed your talk. I remember an implement store back in my hometown, Natick, MA, when I was growing up. I can see in my mind the mist sprayers parked out front because we had apple orchards in town and surrounding towns. We were 17 miles west of Boston. I think the problem is the farms are being sold off because you can make more money that way than you could make from growing crops. No farms, no sale of mist sprayers (for example), no syrup cans, no seeds. End of story! Ray Valley, Eustis, FL

I remember going to buy seeds with my daddy when I was really young and being facinated by the pretty pink corn seeds. I wanted to grow pink corn! lol Of course he wouldn't buy them and explained that the corn would not be pink and that the seeds were treated with chemicals to make them pink. I think I was around 4 at the time. We still have a couple of stores that sell bulk seeds but like you say the variety is extremely limited. One of the stores even told me that they would not be carrying garlic at all this year. I am having trouble getting my Christmas Limas to germinate also. I'm getting 50% germination at best. My Rattlesnakes are doing somewhat better but aren't doing nearly as good as last year Only a few are 6 ft but they are blooming and I have a few beans about 1" long. My second planting is coming up so we'll see how they do. I only bought 1 tomato plant and it is an heirloom variety called German Queen. I'm hoping it is as good as the German Giant which is my all time favorite (one and a half pound tomatoes in the midst of a deep drought and excellent flavor). I lost the seeds to it because hubby decided to help me clean the kitchen while the seeds were fermenting. He's not a gardener but at least he was trying to help so that I could focus on the garden. Much Love

I was able to eat a home-grown tomato from my garden and a slice of hot-bed tomatoes on a vine from the grocery store at the same time the Homegrown tomato was ripe and sweet and absolutely delicious juicy unbelievably good. On the other hand the tomato that we bought from the store was hard not juicy flavorless and just nasty. Recently I have noticed when we buy avocados that they are hard but when you cut into him you can eat them because they are rotten on the inside. Our experience with watermelons honeydew and cantaloupe has been unsatisfying as well they are tasteless I will be planning a lot of squash and watermelon and honeydew and cantaloupe in my garden even if that Garden is a raised bed garden due to all of our caliche clay that goes 3 feet down into the ground.

Land in Louisiana is going for 41 thousand an acre or more..we bought 17 acres in Philadelphia Mississippi for 30 thousand ..big difference...it was a no brainer for us. You are so right on many things and a lot of what you say is new to us but makes sense. We haven't started growing our own food yet but will when we settle in Mississippi but we have started making homemade meals and follow crazy days for receipts. My family already ask if I will make homemade bread and such. Because yes Mr. Danny there is a satisfying taste you get from real food. Our bodies are programmed to desire that artificial food therfore when you eat a homemade a cookie and then buy the fake ones you see real quick where your body starts rejecting the world systems value of taste verses the more natural taste that the body longs for because natural is what God intended since the beginning. Can't wait to grow our own food. As always thank you for your porch time and when are you gonna write that book? one about your life journey☺ it would be a top seller. Strength in numbers!!
