The Captain and I traveled down to West Virginia, to meet Stephanie & Tim of the blog Adventures in the 100 acre wood.
There was so much to see and not enough time to explore it all. I could have spent days exploring their land. Such beautiful rolling country side surrounds their home.
In this video, you will see the Rain water catch system which fills the livestock waterers. The rain water is directed from their roof downspouts into a pipe which directs the water to a large catch tank. It is attached to a pump & water filter system that distributes fresh water as needed. This was a favorite of The Captain.

I tried my hand at shearing sheep too. Let's just say there is no chance of going pro in my future...
They have a large variety of livestock and many inspiring self sufficient methods on their 100 acres. There will be another visit to the 100 acre woods in late Summer when Stephanie will take us on a wild edible hunt and then off to the kitchen to share a delicious dessert recipe. I can't wait! This is the Spring edition Spotlight, showing a small glimpse of their Homestead. Enjoy!
And please.... Remember to rate on youtube for future viewers to find.

Oh that turned out well Tammy. (Wish I would have cleaned out the chicken coop though.) We really enjoyed having you visit. I'll let you know when my dessert ingredient is ready. :)
Wonderful!
You plan on coming to Kansas?
;)
Stephanie_ It was such a great day. And as for the chicken coop... If you had a spotless coop I would think ya had too much time on your hands. :) Can't wait for the next visit.
Phelan- If I can find a sponsor to help with gas costs I'd be knocking on your door! There are so many places I would LOVE to spotlight and hope after a few more of these, I can get a gas sponsor. I have one in mind which is well known to all of you and is just a few towns over from me. A very compatible company to homesteading.
So watch out. Ya neer know where I'll pop up next. :)
Aloha, Tammie! It may be quite a ways away, but we're excited to find your site as a resource and would welcome you to Maui, Hawaii, anytime to visit our mini-farm! We are just starting out, but we can already share bananas, lilikoi (passion fruit) avocados, eggs, pineapple and more! E komo mai! Tina@MauiFarmlet.com
Great job yet again. That's a very cool water collection system they have going....or should I say..how cool is that?? LOL i had to
Tina~ If I could, I would be on the first flight out! LOL. My best friend is a Hawaii lover and would kill me if I ever went without her. I would LOVE to do one on your place and in Hawaii. If I ever get the chance to come your way,you can bet a on Tropical spotlight!
Chris~ you caught that ay...LOL. Thats what I get for not doing a script for my audio talk overs and inserts. Not to mention trying to do audio while the whole house was sleeping.
Hiya Tammy, haven't seen ya in a while, I love the videos! I was sick last year and didn't keep the blog up very well, but things are better and we're back working in the garden and the chickens are doing well, we even got chicks this year! We're hoping to get some livestock this year, a milk cow, a beef cow and a pig and get some of our back 6 made up into pastures for the animals---that's the plan anyway. Glad to see you're having fun with your blog and your adventures!
Leslie:-)
