Homestead Orchard Tour: Growing Bounty on our Small Farm

Thank you so much for sharing your videos with us! My husband and I look forward to every one, and we’re always learning something new! Thank you, too, for always sharing the wins and losses. You don’t shy away from telling us that you lost trees. That is so encouraging!

A happy and meaningful life is so wonderful

Thanks for sharing all you are doing! I can imagine there has been a great learning curve in all of your endeavors, but how rewarding!

Amazing. Those peaches are a gorgeous color.

Lovely orchard. I always wanted and Apricot tree, I just love them.

I'm from the UK and hazelnuts are really popular. They'll grow multiple trunks and branch out, they're often used as part of hedgerows here. The nuts are delicious, it's the nut used in Nutella spread. Try them roasted and chopped in cookies with chocolate chunks! Love your wholesome videos!

Hello! I am really enjoying your videos and learning so much! I live in PA .. on the southern end in Hickory PA. I have a 70 acre farm and we have been here for 30 years. Now that my daughters are raised I feel like I have time to start a Market Garden. I have always had a family garden. Your solutions to the weeds and your realistic views of farming really gives me an opportunity to plan my garden based on my resources. Thank you so much! I hope to take a trip to Gettysburg and would love to stop at our farm stand❤

Amazing to see you work so well togheter and the result you accomplish😍

Another great teaching video! It makes me wish it wasn’t too late thank you

I love my fruit. Awesome orchard ❤❤

Your orchid looks amazing and has grown so fast unlike mine, we have so much wind and 8 months of rain out here along the coast of Australia but I'm not giving up. My latest idea is planting my trees into baseless planters and it's working out well. I'm going to watch your chicken video again as I bought 2 jostaberry plants as I had not heard of them before seeing your video. I'm so looking forward to tasting them when the plants finally produce. I bought a few hazelnut plants to make a small hedge and they do send up suckers so I just mow over them as it's just the nature of that plant. Have a great day.🙃😉😊

Really enjoyed the tour. Hazelnuts are great, I’m from Germany and we use hazelnuts in baked goods a lot.

I have had peach trees for ten years and have not had one peach make it to the ripe stage, I am so-o-o-o jealous!

So beautiful and informative!! Thank you so much, this is so helpful as we plan an orchard on our new homestead. I was hoping you'd have the fruit crisp recipe in the description...I would love if you'd share it! Thank you!!

If you want to try a delicious apple plant a sweet tango its a mix of honeycrisp and zestar they are so good and the apple cider is awesome ❤❤

Uau…amei…gosto muito de frutas pêssego 🍑 maçã 🍎 🍏 etcetera…amei o vídeo…!!!parabéns, grande abraço desde Brasil 🇧🇷…!

More sweet cherry trees or filberts (hazelnuts). I just picked my first (avalon pride) peaches on my new trees tonight and the fragrance and flavor is incredible...nothing like grocery store peaches.

Beautiful orchard!! I can tell you from experience that Japanese beetles love Juneberries (and elderberries, fruit trees, rose bushes, etc...) and that Japanese beetle traps don't work well. I'm planning on trying to cover my berry bushes with netting next year but this year they were bad! If you're looking for suggestions for orchard trees, might I suggest Chicago figs and/or pecan trees? I think they would do well in your growing zone. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!

Pecans are a wonderful nut. Mt. Vernon had a 200+ year old tree right next to the porch. Do you have grapes/vineyard plans? I love apricots too. Dehydrated/dried are the typical way to preserve, but jams are amazing too.

23:47 getting the drone close to those power and communication lines!
