I watch several channels in the evening on a
regular basis and so hope you find this list useful. They don't all
produce regular videos but some do them 5 times a week and others a few
times a week and others perhaps just once a week. They are of various
lengths some will be half an hour or longer and others perhaps just 10
minutes and sometime around an hour. So hope you find this of interest
and feel free to add a comment to this page if you'd like to share your
own favourite YouTube channels.
Farming and Homesteading
Lumnah Acres
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_1nZUpPS6jFv5Pn3f85CaA
A Guide to Modern Homesteading Self-Sufficiency and FREEDOM. We love
Homesteading and the control it offers with growing our own food,
raising our own animals and of Course the FREEDOM it provides! I was
born and raised 20 minutes from Boston, MA. At the age of 17, I was
diagnosed with Anxiety. My personal experience with the prescribed
medication was NOT POSITIVE. So I decided to find a better way. I didn't
know it at the time but, that was the BEGINNING for me! I have been
“FINDING A BETTER WAY” in all areas of my life ever since. Better ways
of how to create a modern homestead affordably, and a better way to
provide my family with healthy foods, and so….. much more! Have just
purchased a 500 acre property, mostly wooded with 2 ponds, and so will
be interesting to see what they do with it. Usually post 5 videos a
week.
Country View Acres
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1ovwxofU4cDvIUOl2FxkFw
We purchased 41 acres in southern Illinois and are preparing the
land to be our future homestead. We just built our log home on the
property, and now we are working towards raising more animals. We like
to hunt, fish, garden, and have our own shooting range. We already raise
chickens and rabbits and are planning for goats and pigs. Follow us as
we continue to develop our property into a working homestead. I will do
my best to post at least two to three videos a week.

Living Traditions Homestead
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_PgChfO-fgSIpIYWD3Ka-g
Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a more traditional life
in our modern world. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that
people are missing out on many of the true blessings that life 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
Ozark's. We put out 3 new videos every week! Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family as we all
learn from each other how to live a simpler, debt-free life! They have
recently purchased a 50 acre farm so we'll get the chance to see how
they deveop this in the years ahead.

moment making things that will be beneficial for the future projects
such as a water wheel/turbine a wind turbine, woodworking benches and
holding tools. I would rather make something with my hands than to buy
it. there is nothing more rewarding to me than to make something and see

enjoy.

Jill Winger - The
Homestead Mentor
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSa3y4THgOgPCkcgrWlcqxg
I'm Jill Winger, and, as young newlyweds, my husband Christian and I
craved something more than the typical American existence. So we bought
a tumbledown old farmhouse and subsequently stumbled upon the modern
homesteading lifestyle. We weren't born into a rural way of life, so we
made ALL the mistakes at the beginning. But over the years, after a LOT
of trial and error, we’ve figured out some pretty cool systems that
allow us to grow a huge portion of our food AND create the simpler, more
intentional life we’ve always wanted. Through the weekly videos I share
on my channel, I'll break down the more complex aspects of homesteading
for you which will drastically shorten your learning curve as you look
to cook from-scratch, grow amazing organic food, and live life on YOUR
terms in every way possible.

Millennial Farmer
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp0rRUsMDlJ1meYAQ6_37Dw
I am a 5th generation family farmer from West-Central Minnesota. The
recent interest in food, combined with a large amount of
'misinformation' has driven me to start this channel. I hope to be
someone people can relate to and trust when they question how their food
is grown and raised. I also hope to become a 'smarter' farmer through my
experiences with this channel. I strongly believe we must have an open
mind and a willingness to learn about others, or we cannot move forward
as one. My goal is to build the connection between farmers and consumers
by facilitating a collaborative conversation amongst everyone. I do this
by sharing my day-to-day farming experiences, my opinions on certain
topics, and occasionally visiting other farms and businesses to help
better understand other farming and business practices. There is no
limit to where this channel may go, so please join me!!

Just a Few Acres Farm
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkOTo20XS1LL95g2p6CcE3A
Our videos focus on small farm life, and are targeted toward people
interested in understanding more about small farming, sustainable
farming methods, or who wish to vicariously live the farm life! Just a
Few Acres is a 45 acre seventh generation family farm in Lansing, NY, in
operation since 1804. We are a diversified livestock farm, providing
high quality, healthy meats directly to consumers in our community. All
our livestock is grown using a grass-based diet, and we focus on a
low-stress life for our animals. We operate our farm using sustainable
practices, building healthier soil every year through innovative grazing
methods. We believe a small family farm can still be a viable business
in today’s “bigger is better” world, and that small farms supplying
locally grown food to their communities can create a more resilient,
healthy, and meaningful agricultural system.
Harry's Farm
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFNRLTPU9263dTOYgrVcnHw/featured
After doing holiday jobs on a few farms, I knew this was what I really
wanted to do. After 4-years of study at Shuttleworth Agricultural
Collage in 1980, I left with an HND and a job as a on-farm grain-buyer
in the Beds and Bucks area with a company called Grainec. I loved this
job but I still wanted to be a proper farmer one day, so started taking
on small parcels of grassland and buying ewes with lambs at foot to
fatten up. I soon discovered sheep farming was too time consuming to
keep the day job so turned my attention to taking on arable land, using
contractors to work the land to allow me to expand quicker. I'd noticed
a few of the farmers I was dealing with felt trapped on their farms
because it was impossible for them to take time off, so I offered to
take the land on for a year to give them a break. The first farm I took
on was 242ac in 1985, by 1990, this has grown to over 1000ac. Evo came
along in 1998 after a lucky break and the farming (now 2000ac) had to
take a back seat.

The Spectator
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJMC-44oT9l97ra5iemDPiA
The Spectator's mission is to entertain, inform, delight and infuriate
our audience. Something our journalists won't do is send you to sleep.
Their politics range from left to right, their circumstances from high
life to low life. The sharpest political analysis comes as standard.
Where The Spectator comes into its own is assembling the best writers
from Britain, and giving them the freedom to say what they want. There
is no party line: our sole allegiance is to originality of thought and
elegance of expression. The result is a quality of argument not to be
found in any other publication.

theatre organs and miles of wring, the organ is to be carried by an

in the UK and beyond to fulfil a need for pipe organ music many people
may not even know they have.
