WELCOME!
New videos from our Canadian homestead drop every week, so follow along and never miss a moment. In fact, it’s the easiest way to keep up with everything we’re building. As a result, you’ll always be the first to know what’s happening on the farm.
Follow our projects, animals, and adventures as we build our homestead one story at a time — and we’re sharing every honest step along the way!
Backyard Crows in Ontario: Testing If Crows Bring Gifts to Humans
We built a DIY crow feeder called The Crowbar and tested whether backyard crows in Ontario will actually bring gifts to humans — with shiny objects, gold spoons, and a murder of crows.
Setting Up a Broody Cage for Hatching Eggs with Backyard Chickens in Ontario
Getting a broody cage ready is half the battle when you’re hatching eggs with backyard chickens in Ontario. We walk through exactly how we set ours up — from sizing and ventilation to keeping the hen calm and the eggs safe. It’s simpler than you’d think, and we show every step.
EXPLORE THE HOMESTEAD
Ultimately, from chickens to tractors, every corner of our Canadian homestead has a story — and we’re sharing all of it. So dive in and explore what interests you most.
Chicken Projects
From coops and runs to feeding systems and keeping your flock healthy, we cover it all. Moreover, we share what worked, what didn’t, and what we’d do differently next time — so you can learn from our experience instead of starting from scratch.
Gardening
First we plant, then we tend, and finally we harvest — growing food from seed to table on Canadian soil. Meanwhile, we’re learning what actually grows well in a short growing season. As a result, we share every win and rough patch along the way so you can grow smarter too.
DIY Builds
Building things that work — even when the first try doesn’t. Because that’s how you learn. Furthermore, every project teaches us something new, and we film and write it all up so you don’t have to start from scratch. In short, we do the trial and error so you don’t have to.
