Just Living || A Year of Work, Family, and Food || December 2025

This video is a look at a full year of our lives. We are a family of four living in Appalachia, and we grow about 80% of our own food. We’ve lived this way for many years, long before YouTube and long before homesteading was something people talked about online. Around here, it isn’t a trend or a lifestyle. It’s just living. This is a 55-minute collection of moments from one year on our homestead, the work, the seasons, the food on the table, and the quiet in between. This video finishes out our year. Here’s to 2026.
