My goal is to encouraged you and myself to buy locally raised food whenever possible. We all can’t grow a garden or raise our own meats but we can do is find people in our community are able to and partner with them! When we find local food producer we can build a community with the people who sustain us. You can do that when when buying from your local grocery store. I hope you enjoyed this interview and farm tour of a local pasture raised farm. I know you can find local farmers in your area as well. Please remember to use the hashtag #AcreHomesteadLocalFoodMovement when you find local food producers in your area!

Congratulations on a great interview. Wish I lived close I would definitely be buying my meats from them.
This is very inspiring and makes some very valid points. I am going to dig deeper to find more local farms to support. I honestly have only very recently started thinking about where my food & general goods come from. Once you do start wondering you definitely want to know more and once you learn more you definitely want to start finding other options. Thank you for the great video and thanks to the farmers as well!
This was an excellent video. Trying to get the hubby on board on flying from the midwest and rent a U-Haul to drive back with a 'ton' of meat. They seem like the type of folks I would want to do business with. It's rough trying to find someone local, they are all about the old mindset, chemicals corn and soy, but not giving up.
I’m so glad you were finally able to do this video!
I missed that ‘field trip when you went with Dad. Glad you were able to go back a video them!
You are one very inspiring young lady! -Jen (KC, MO)
I loved this interview. Really good job. I would suggest next time doing more shots of the actual farm and animals. It almost seems like maybe you didn't take as much footage as you would have liked and then you used what you had to give little visual breaks while the two men are talking. A lot of people who watch "farm" videos do it because they visually like the plants and the animals so keep that in mind. I see you also edited it to look like a interview with doing shots of yourself asking questions – it wasn't a flawless edit but amazing that you get how the interview should go – its just the small details in piecing it. The actual info they give is great and your questions are clear and interesting. You should def try do a few more of these vids – where you feature a business – this can be very profitable in the long run as you following grows. oh and if you ever do interviews again, try to ask to do a mini farm tour. even just film them walking to the cows and say "and this is where we keep the cows". I have watched a few of your videos and you are a pleasure to watch. You have a very inviting personality and I think you will be very successful doing this in the future.
After watching many many of your videos, I saw this one snd now realize we live in the same area! I am definitely going to Helvetia Farms for meat soon. Keep up the amazing work, you’re inspiring!
I appreciated your statement at the end. It can feel overwhelming but my husband and I just went to our farmers market for the first time last weekend!
I'm a big eater, there isn't much I won't eat. Unfortunately, to my pallet grass-fed beef tastes rotten. We bought a half of a half of a cow a few years ago and no matter how much I tried I just couldn't develop a taste for it. If the meat is lean enough I'm okay, but the taste imparted by the grass to the fat is just too strong for me. I like the taste of beef, not the taste of what they've been eating. Anyway, I have just seen a few of your videos today and I just noticed here you're in the Hillsboro area. Born and raised, but we moved to Eastern Idaho a few years ago because it just got so expensive to live in the Portland Metro area. I want to move back to Oregon or Washington, but it won't be in the Metro area. To put prices into perspective, the day we moved we got a better but similar apartment for half the price we were paying in Hillsboro.
The ranching method they're using is Joel Salatin's method used on his Polyface Farms on the east coast. I'm a big fan of Salatin as well as Permaculture.
Yes. Amazing place. Still looking for place here.
That interview was amazing. Very educational.
Thank you for this video. Very informative.
4:56 is my favourite part haha
I love it! You have motivated me so much.
My family just signed up for our first CSA through a local farm. We get out the first box in a few days, and we are excited.
We have fresh beef. Also garden.
I love this! It cuts out the middle man for farmers. What happens in the meat industry is the farmers get the short end and the middle man which are the store make major profits. Go local is the way to go!. Meat and produce taste so much better. Thank you for making this video ♥️
This is great! I was looking at a farm that did all types of meats so I have one source and love to get this inside view of their way of doing what they do. I will be for sure ordering my meat come tax season!
Their farm is amazing!
This is so great Are! Thank you for this interview! Are their chickens fed only grass and bugs?
Amazing!! Wish we had something like that around us
To prevent complaints from neighbors about "illegal chickens", be smart and give each neighbor some eggs a few times a year, when you have an abundance. You'd be surprised how accepting they become.
Additional note, we should all be looking out for our neighbors anyway; letting them know they can call any time they have an emergency. All to often, police are called in for welfare checks, and we've seen many end badly. They're not equipped for meeting the needs of the elderly or mentally ill, and often resort to excessive force, when they were called to HELP someone. They're trained to apprehend and many expect immediate, unquestioned obedience to their commands, when the individual isn't mentally equipped, at that time, to do so. Unfortunately, some Officers take that as a hit to their ego, and they forget the reason they were called. If neighbors help neighbors, we can avoid overwhelming an already over- worked police force. Why I bring that up, is because my son in-law is a city police officer, and he often gets treated badly by individuals in the community, who's actual beef is with bad, criminal cops. He's a patient, honest, and fair Officer, who treats everyone with respect, even a SUSPECT he may have just Arrested. He actually believes a suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. It's not his job to judge that! Good cops shouldn't pay for the actions of bad; just as one race shouldn't be judged by the actions of some, or one political party by the actions of some. We're all individuals, and should be treated that way. We have no idea what is causing a person to act the way they do. It's not for us to judge!
We are all made in the image of God! We need to remember that as we deal with our neighbors. After all, loving thy neighbor, is a command from God; even the difficult, irritating, obnoxious ones. God didn't put any qualifiers to that command.
I really appreciate how kind and energetic you are. You love sharing your knowledge with us and pass along your recipes for free. That's what sets you apart from some other YouTubers, who sell their recipes on Etsy, etc. You're a breathe of fresh air! I'm looking forward to the day when you can do this full time. Just imagine what you'll accomplish! God bless and keep you and your family safe!
You mentioned on this video about preserving corn from the cob and that there would be a separate video for that. I can’t find one. Can you point me to that video please?
Love this!! I’m gonna go to our local farmers market this week for the first time. (Moved to Kansas a few months ago.) Looking for a good source for pasture raised meat and in particular looking for chicken livers because my toddler loves pate and I haven’t made it in awhile! Really excited about participating in your new hashtag too!
This was a really interesting video. Thanks for sharing.
Great stuff! Love you Becky
