Off-grid Homestead / October Farm Update

A quick farm update to see how the orchard is doing after the rain, and spending time with the kunekune pigs.

  1. The piglets are so wonderful. I keep watching them over and over. I just want to sitting in the pin with them. They make my heart leap with joy. I sent a little Amazon gifts. Never did it before, hope you get it. Thank you for sharing your farm.

  2. you way overstretched yourself, the farm is too big for you to maintain on your own, renovate the house, build proper pens and huts for the pigs etc. Your dream is becoming a pipe dream, relying on volunteer help is not going to work. I have one acre to manage, it's hard work, could not imagine having to keep a multitude of that in order. One minute of picking the caterpillars off the broccoli would have given you a healthy dinner in a week or so. The "septic tank" is a liability, you would have been better off to stick with a composting toilet. But – as long as you are happy, that's what matters. Enjoy Munich, that's where I went to college, a nice city

  3. Hi Cindy and those piglets are so active, I had cat's that used to bring all sorts in through the cat flap during the night, goodness knows from where, see you next time. ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

  4. Why did you leave those worms on the brocoli…the fruit trees are not doing good at all.
    A few leaves that are not on top of trees WILL NOT amount to anything
    If you would spend more time on crops fruit trees and letting the pigs breed at the right time you might have better luck

  5. Great update. I've never seen a pig with a foot fetish before. Funny. The piglets are adorable. Great seeing you Louise. Stay safe and congratulations to Morton on his new property.

  6. The water problem in front of the house and windows may necessitate a French drain soon to channel the water away from the house. Safer than a retaining wall dam. St. Nick will have the correct solution I'm sure.

  7. I love watching Cindy its very therapeutic, hubby passed away recently and watching you on your farm just transports me there. I must say if my kids when they're established in their careers/lives i might just contemplate doing the same. Hubby and myself looked into it moving to Portugal and the daily rythmn of the day would be just what i need. Thanks for sharing x

  8. Hi Cindy, check if the fruit trees are grafted. If there is any sprouting under the graft, remove it, as it will weaken the grafted tree. When u prune the vines, or maybe some of Nick's vines. You could steg some for next year. 2 eyes under the ground and 2 above ☺ Alles van die beste vi die winter!

  9. Great, piggies are very much alive🤗. Fresh broccoli works, now to multiply the harvest. Maybe focus on veggies that work for you, grow enough for you and piggies, then try the next crop. I've just done that at a school: loads of 1 crop at a time. 😁. Holding thumbs for some fruit next 🤞👍. Safe travels. Xx
