In this informal vlog, host Victor (Speaker A) and co‑host Rebecca prepare a quick lunch while discussing the recent death of Victor’s father and the upcoming funeral. They thank supporters for stepping up during this difficult time and transition to announcing a new line of merchandise and media products for their audience. The offerings include stainless‑steel Clean Canteen mugs and cups, Great American Farm Tour long‑sleeve t‑shirts, Permaculture Pigs and Homestead Mama shirts, and physical DVDs of their farm‑tour and permaculture series. They explain product qualities (organic cotton, locally sourced, sizing advice), a limited‑time ordering deadline (Nov 10 for Christmas delivery), and a charitable component: one tree will be planted per sale in memory of “Boots.” They also mention free sample chapters and other free content available on their website. The tone shifts from somber gratitude to enthusiastic, albeit rushed, promotion due to limited time and technical constraints.
Chapters
It's Wednesday. Rebecca and I are just making a quick lunch. Thanks for Rachel and Rebecca's parents really stepping up during this time of need as we deal with what you have to deal with when your father dies. Funeral arrangements, grief.
Yeah.
So we're gonna have a quick lunch. Of— well, we got our fermented carrots. This is not our salad, that's up. Um, what do we got? We got some turkey in there. It's just putting something together real quick. Rebecca's got to go back out for some shopping for the funeral, and I need to edit today's vlog. This is not actually today's vlog. There'll be a vlog a little later. Internet's been slow, so it's been kind of really late at night that it's been getting up, so sorry about that. Well, this is what it's like to eat 3 meals a day, Becca.
I know, right?
Normally we eat so— breakfast so late. That's more convenient just to grab 2 meals. Kids eat all day, of course. Now let's talk about this, Beck. I gotta outline. This is a special video, guys, just to let you know. We've been, uh, well, we've been working on this for— we've been working on it weeks. We've been working on something for you guys for weeks. We've talked a little bit about it. When we were at Homesteaders of America, people went crazy for our merchandise. People bought the— we sold out of mugs first day. Yeah, people went crazy for So the Land merch and other people's merch. And okay, okay, we get it. Maybe you don't necessarily want like the educational or the course, but you want something that you can wear to show your support or just enjoy for yourself. So we came up with We're bringing back the mugs. Great American Farm Tour. We came up with Clean Canteen stainless steel cups, so the mugs are stainless steel.
Did we do Clean Canteen cups?
Yep. We're bringing back Great American Farm Tour t-shirts, this time with long sleeves, this time with multiple colors. Guys, I wish I could flash B-rolls up for this and, and show pictures of those and bring in screenshots of the website, but you know what we're going through. Bear with me. I love you guys. Remember what I've been telling you all week? Thank you for bearing with us. On these off vlogs, you know, maybe not the top of our game. Permaculture Pigs t-shirt, which is going to be— it says pigs for everyone, and it's got a map of the world that looks like the pigs coloring. Guys, go see that. Maybe, maybe— yeah, I can't, I can't put the image in, guys. I just can't. I'm gonna go start making the other vlog. We got to get some rest. Go look at it. Would you do that? Would you at least go look at it? And then we have physical DVDs. So maybe you don't need the course to the DVDs of the Great American Farm Tour, Permaculture Pigs, Permaculture Chickens, any other movies we made? I think that's it. Um, maybe you just want the physical DVD to give to somebody for Christmas. Uh, speaking of Christmas, we're doing this now because you need to get your orders in now to get this by Christmas. November 10th, we gotta— we— well, we won't close cart, we'll keep our merchandise up, but to ensure you get the size Yes. And to ensure you get it by Christmas, you need to order by November 10th, and I realize that's coming in like, say, 4 days.
I know. We were supposed to put this up like—
We were supposed to show you more of this process, like get you actual images of this.
But they all know what's going on.
You know.
And it's been really difficult, and you guys have been so sweet. And we thank you for that. Um, I didn't mean to cry. But this has been something we've been working on for a long time. And so it's kind of bad that it's during this awful time for us.
Comes out of nowhere sometimes. Hopefully we can get this out of the way before I talk. I get to talk at the funeral tomorrow, so— Anyway, thanks. Thanks for bearing with us. We're gonna give one tree away for every sale. Okay? So, in on it for— doing it for Boots. So we're gonna bring something good about, about this something bad. We don't have time to put a nice little polished marketing campaign together. We just get— we're just telling you guys, we're just telling you we're gonna do it for boots, right? We're gonna plant some trees, and that's coming out of our cut, so we're not charging a dollar more or whatever. It's coming out of our, our margin. The t-shirts, they're 100% organic cotton. Yes, they're wonderful t-shirts. They're locally sourced in California. I will say this, you get what you pay for.
Yes, they're, they are so soft. They're more expensive, but they're so soft. They're worth it. They're good quality. If you're getting a woman's, um, shirt, you may want to size up. Yeah, so like normally I would wear a small or medium depending on the size of the shirt. So with this one, a medium or large is what would work for me. So, um, it's like I think extra small, small, medium, large, extra large, that sort of thing.
Yeah.
Um, I think I have larges, so I think I'm gonna get mediums because I've slimmed down a little bit.
Yeah, but— and I might just get another Culture Pigs t-shirt.
Yes, and they— and we have long sleeves this time, and, um, we have different colors, which is super exciting. And what's the other thing that's good? If you aren't sure about sizing for the women's— oh, a woman can obviously order a man's t-shirt, which is— it's just a regular t-shirt.
Thank you for saying that.
So There's that. I don't know what to do with it.
So you order now, this is not Amazon Prime. You're not gonna get it in 2 days. You're gonna get it by Christmas. So do us a favor. It costs you nothing to go over there and look at it. Go check it out. There's also free stuff. There's also free, like if you go to the Great American Farm Tour page to shop the DVD there, like there's a free, like you can get free, 3 free chapters right there. And I believe Heather, our assistant, set it up that way for everything. If you go to the Permaculture Chickens page, I believe you can sign up for the free Chicken scores there. I better check out before I publish this.
But, and you haven't seen the home, um, the Homestead Mama shirt.
Ah, I didn't mention the Homestead Mama. Rebecca came up with her own shirt just for you ladies, for all you mamas out there. It's a beautiful design.
Even if you don't have kids and you just got chickens, you're a Homestead Mama.
Yeah, and even if you only— even if you aren't even— you can have one plant in your windowsill, or at least have a plan for one plant in your windowsill, right? What makes you a homesteader?
In our definition, just trying to do something.
Yeah, don't feel like you have to have—
you could just be making all your own meat in your freezers. Yeah, yeah, it's a state of mind. It is not a, a place that you get to.
Nope, it's a journey.
Yeah, like we were homesteaders. Oh yeah, 13 years ago when we had a goat and 2 chickens.
Oh, don't tell them about the devil eyes. Don't tell them. I know you told them. Sorry, you weren't supposed to know that. We did have devil eyes at one time. Thanks. All right, link in description. Go check the website, get the free stuff, um, get the stuff. We love you guys. Thank you. Let's plant trees together. Doing it for Boots.
