In this winter homesteading vlog, I’m working through the real struggles of keeping a small farm running in snow, ice, and freezing temps: feeding livestock, hauling water, breaking ice, bedding, and making sure everyone stays safe and healthy. This is the side of homesteading most people don’t see: you still rely on fuel, feed, equipment, repairs, and outside systems—especially in winter. If you’re curious about farming in winter, homesteading reality vs. the Instagram version, and what it actually takes to care for animals when it’s cold, this one’s for you. What you’ll see in this video: A fox stalking a farm. The farm's livestock guardian dog protecting the farm against predators like the fox. The farmer giving a tour of his small farm.
