Hollar Homestead QUICK Visit | Always Progressing

Gideon, after that snack, please come outside. Yes. Yes. Another big day today filming for Rooted. We're gonna go see our friends the Haulers. If you guys haven't seen them on our show in a while, today's the day. This is different, isn't it? The pole barn's empty, sacrifice yard's empty, everybody's on pasture. If you guys don't know Ben and Meg Mauler, They quit California rat race, moved, traveled all of America looking for a homestead, found it in North Carolina. Push. That's not why Ben and Meg are in this movie. This movie is a— well, it was about the Great America Farm Tour, but it's about, uh, community. Ben and Meg, and they're traveling around to the farms around here, had a big part in bringing my local community together that I'm a part of. You got a pig board on him? Yeah, I actually like that. Keep yourself safe. Hey, grab the feed! What are you doing? Wait, what am I supposed to do, pour it in there? You don't think you're getting away? That's one way to get kids excited about farming with you. Let them make some decisions. Let them boss around, so to speak. It doesn't really matter how we feed him, just there are some rules. I mean, we don't want to feed him in this— in his poop corner. Other than that, let the kid decide the style too, you know, getting in there, getting the pan over, and then feeding them. You know what, that's what you want to do. Lots of eggs. Meanwhile Our garlic just right outside is really jamming. Gonna do the Three Little Pigs? Oh yeah. Hey guys, good morning guys, I missed you. You know what I just realized? Mr. Ron was supposed to come, wasn't he? That little rascal escaped the small animal chores. Where's Gideon? Um, Gideon, I think he's in his room. Gideon? Gideon, is that you in there? I bet homeboy's taking a bath. Rebecca's up. No Snowball. Look who it is! Are you talking? Thank you, Josiah, for watching him. You did take a bath. Yeah, I did. You did stand me up. You said you were gonna come. Go get your clothes on, we're gonna go milk. Lily, we're about to go milk. You ready for the bromance, Jonah? Come on, come on. Well, that's handy. Unlock my tripod and I have a staff. That works. You don't have to do too much prodding to get fresh grass. What do you think? Have you milked cow before? Uh, I did for like 3 squeezes 2 days ago. Oh, okay. Here. Okay. But yeah, this is definitely my first time. Nice. Bye-bye, Henry. Bye-bye, buddy. What? He's got it running out his mouth. You like that? All right, bye, Mama. Hey, you got a phone charger in that thing? We do, man. They upgraded, uh, Randy at the rental. I think we'll take it. Oh, all right, let's do it. I had this idea for a nice follow-along drone shot. I guess the tree had a different plan and it's stuck. See it way up there? The blade has gone around that. We need to throw something up there. You're gonna have to try to catch it. It's gonna have to be quite the hit to knock it down. And we've only got 20 minutes, so we really need to get going. Call the guy with the excavator. Excavator. Yeah, he would have no problem. Rebecca's, uh, bouncy ball. Can we throw it that high though? Maybe the tractor. We could stand on the Jeep and throw it that high. We could stand on the Suburban. We could get the tractor and throw it that high, but we'd have to go get the tractor. We won't have time right now. Randy had an idea for a very long stick. That's gonna be a long stick though, even from the Jeep. It's loose. Professional here. This isn't a different meal for you, Randy. No way. This is one of our favorites. This is a staple for you, isn't it? This is, this is one of the reasons you grow lamb right here. Tzatziki sauce, Mediterranean diet. It's good stuff. How'd your interview go, Beck? I think it went good. Did you hang us out to dry? No, I hung you out to dry. I threw you right under the bus. Oh, we got some, we got some Patriot kids here. Sally has many uses. Carrying video equipment is one of them. Teddy, are you going with them? You ready for this? I'm nervous. Yeah, you ready for this exposé? I'm ready. This is why all of Justin's secrets that he's ever told me about to come out right now. What are y'all doing up there? All right, that's one place to do it. Wow, look at this! Jonah's been cleaning up. What's got into you, Jonah? It's springtime. Spring cleaning, it's a thing. He's wanting me to get the tractor over here, but we need to get it in there. We need to stack the meat shaw up. Look at these guys. I just got interviewed myself, Great American Farmer. I hope the urinator story makes it. Uh-huh, we'll see. Uh, it'll definitely make the raw interview. Lots of stuff we haven't talked about on the vlog, lots of stuff that's not in the documentary. This is gonna get deep. You guys see that? What are you doing out here? Carnivore platter, cheese, eggs, and chicken. Arun, you knocked it out of the park, buddy, with Thai. Hey, I like that shirt. Thank you. Just— yeah, this is my shirt. Randy, you ate good while you were here, didn't you, buddy? Absolutely. I mean, how could you not with this here, huh? Ben, what are the chances the urinator story is gonna make the cut? The urinator story? It's okay if it doesn't. What are the chances? You want like a 1 out of 10? Yeah. Right now, right now, I'll give it a 6 out of 10. Oh, that's a pretty good chance. I don't think it'll make it like the full story. Yeah, I wanna, I wanna include like a really quick little like sound bite. That's all right, they'll get the story in one way or the other if it's not rooted in a book. If we have— yeah, we might have to save it for the book. Okay.
