***** About Living Traditions Homestead *****
Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out new videos every week! We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we give up the rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the country.

Great video guys, love all your content. We have developed much of our new farm based on your information, and used your affiliate links for the Harvest Right, garden fabric, etc. Not sure whether we bought our orchard trees through a link or directly with Stark Bros but the trees are doing ok we guess, they are young, small and not dead. Our view of Stark Bros in contrast is dead. What we discovered is a very unhealthy company culture, a millennial culture, where they don’t care that you exist. Rather, if you have an issue that they didn’t notify you that trees you ordered (they committed to) would not be available the next year at, around or near the delivery date, or at all, that is not their concern because they haven’t charged you yet. If you have an opinion about a product, delivery, or process, why would they acknowledge receipt of your correspondence, much less repl…my truth is you don’t exist, so I need not engage. We’re all in with the other products we’ve gotten through your guidance but this company is not one to support.

We lived in Oklahoma for a while when I was a kid, and previous owners had planted a peach tree. The first summer we were there, this little tree bore its first fruit: one single peach, and it put its whole heart and soul into it. It was HUGE, and unimaginably sweet and juicy and delicious. It was almost a sacrament to eat it.

After seeing the "moat" you built around your garden, we did the same when we started a new garden last year in northeastern Oklahoma. Our garden is much smaller, outside dimensions less than 300 feet around. It is working great, not a single deer has entered the garden, and our 15 hens and rooster are thriving. We have white-tailed deer in abundance, but the garden is safe. Thank you for the inspiration and how-to information.

Just a tip I got from the Amish in my area years ago when you plant your raspberries or blackberries do like you would grapes on a trellis about a foot apart that way you can pick without missing any berries in the middle as well not getting pricked 🤪. I also put a netting around the perimeter of my different berries as well over the top prevent the birds ( which were numerous) from the fruit. Blessings to you and your family. 😊🇺🇲

In the mid 50s I lived in a small college town which had a well established line of raspberry bushes at the back of the property, fast forward to around year 2010, the family who bought the house from us informed me I could go grab some raspberries, the same farm fence still held with a little welded sign added that read 'Rust in Peace 2000'.

Might want to consider 4 ft high raised beds. Last year we switched out our old, rotting 12” raised beds for 4 galvanized corrugated steel panels from menards. We did the Swedish method of filling them: logs, limbs, branches. Lastly a thick straw layer and then excellent soil. In the fall we needed to fill with more soil and probably will need to the first couple years. All worth it since I am 62 and appreciate not having to bend down to the ground to garden.

The double fence keeps deer out because they won't jump into the narrow space and it's too wide to jump over. Deer can be very destructive in an orchard they love to browse on the tips of fruit tree branches. I save the trimmings from my apple trees for my rabbits, they love to chew apple wood and it helps keep their teeth in shape.

For the grapes and berries you should do 2 large greenhouse frames, hoop coop looking but longer, wider and taller. Cover them with netting not plastic. That will keep the birds away, but the bees can still get in. Plus, it will keep the chickens out. Wonderful place/area for growing stuff - food and animals. Thanks for sharing. God bless and protect.

Hi Kevin, loved the video- followers for the past two years, we have 6 acres up here in Northern Indiana border with Michigan. We have a flock of chickens and 8 4 x 8 raised beds so far. We've learned a lot between you and Sarah and even Danny from Deep South homestead about what all this lifestyle is about. I was raised in a suburban environment growing up in Northern Va, and spending most of my early adult life in Austin, Tx, until my early 40's. I want to thank you so much for your input and sharing here on KZfaq. My wife and I hope one day to, perhaps, meet up with you both at the farmers market perhaps in missouri. We have relatives near Ft Smith AR and Mountain View, anyway. My wife is a cpa, and I do leathercraft work as a home business full time mostly catering to the motorcycle world. We look forward to focusing more and more on this lifestyle in the future - Godspeed to you and all the best!

+ We have been discussing how to keep deer out of the garden this year (we lost all our corn, beans and sweet potatoes last year). Our first idea was to extend every other fence post and then just run a heavy gauge wire around the top of the fencing a few times. We had a goat that could jump her fence and that's how we ended up keeping her contained. We may use your chicken moat method if our idea doesn't work!

We also have a 1/2 acre fenced with 5 foot horse fence (2 inch x 4 inch holes). We strung a string of solar lights on the top wire. No deer have gotten into this area for over 4 year, even while dozens are grazing on the out side areas. We used "dog pen " gates (5 foot by 6 foot) because they are light weight and easy to use. Ore garden always does well and the orchard started bearing fruit last year. This fence also keeps out adult rabbits, though young rabbits can get through it. Mid-Missouri Zone 6A

We use the 3 foot wide rolls and can move them around and amend the soil as well. We roll it out of the way and then lay it back out after tilling. we leave a solid row of a few inches so we do NOT burn holes in it at all. You can plant your crop and then lay it out like the mulch it is supposed to be used for. easy to do it differently each time o planting if you change what you crop, so it is versatile. We also use the drip tape and it works for pot farming too since the spaghetti emitters go into the pot.

I got that weed fabric from Growers Solutions 3 years ago because of ya'll and I love it! It is down under and around my tall raised beds. The year the snake was in the weedy area around my first bed convinced me to just do it and the one bed the fabric isn't under is also the only one that gets a few mice tunnels in it so there is also that protection. I love that it is also cool on my bare feet, even when it is 100* at noon. I increased my garden this winter and plan to put down more there and even under our huge trees to set pots and half barrels on to keep the tree roots from coming up into the pots of veggies, yet will allow the tree roots to breathe and receive their share of water without damaging the tree. I will say that to repair a few random "accidents" that happened, I burned off a strip of the fabric and made it larger than the hole, and pinned it down using the pins from GS and it works great. My other suggestion it for the weeds/grass that comes up in your larger tomato/pepper holes, take paper (brown bags, newspaper, craft paper) and cover the bare earth after you plant the seedlings. By the time the paper composts, the plant will be large enough to shade out the weeds and maybe even last through the season as a weed barrier and an earthworm attractant, since they do love to compost paper. My best worm dining for fishing always comes from under a pile of damp leaves or a piece of cardboard left flat on the ground with that intention. Thank you Kevin and Sarah for introducing me to this wonderful product and GS!

Mulberry trees are great, but you need to prune all vertical growth back radically every year. Otherwise, they will get too tall to pick fruit, and most of the fruit will go to waste when it falls to the round (of course, the chickens will still eat it), but if you want an abundance of fruit for your family, prune back the vertically inclined branches (leaving only horizontal growth) late every winter (while the trees are fully dormant), and keep the trees between six and eight feet tall when pruned. This will cause the trees to become big fruit-bearing umbrellas, which keeps the fruit accessible. Even prune the ends of horizontal branches to encourage branching. Don't worry. The trees will still send up vertical branches every year (for leaves), so the trees will remain healthy. When you order apricot trees, be sure to get sweet pit varieties. All other apricots have toxic pits, but sweet pit varieties have edible nuts inside (which taste similar to almonds). This basically doubles your crop. You get both fruit and nuts from the same tree.

So excited to see Sarah get her herb garden! My piece of advice about figs is to only buy one because they’re so easy to propagate from cuttings to save money🌸🌼🌺🌷🌹

That woven weed fabric has been a game changer for me. I will never again garden without it.

Excellent information!! I really respect your decision to scale back and only plant what you can successfully manage and preserve. It’s a pleasure watching someone who understands the true meaning and purpose of homesteading rather than those who go out and plant in excess and waste food solely for the purpose of cranking out KZfaq’s and grifting their followers.

... It's amazing how much can be done, on just this 1 acre of land Great Job. Truly Inspirational. But, I have one question. Where are the wabbits? The, pwitty, fuzzy, furwey widdle wabbits? Just kidding. The first videos, that got me subb'd to your channel, was Sarah's Meat Rabbit series. That was about 4-5 years ago. But, I've watched, and enjoyed, nearly everything since. Again.Truly Inspirational.

I’m so excited to watch your new homestead grow, especially adding on that last section in the fenced off area, my brother raises, different berries and stuff and it’s been so fun watching it grow and evolve over the years. I look forward to watching yours grow and evolve too.

Good morning from NW Oklahoma. In my area very sandy..so tons of sand burrs!! I use the weed fabric to suppress them & weeds. I have to have raised gardens. All of my yards are covered. This year we are starting to adding pea gravel thru out.
