Taylor Acres Homestead and Taylor's Travels

Bought this lower priced extractor and didn't check it out before starting to use it. MISTAKE!!! Lots of issues but none to difficult to make it NOT a pretty good deal. If you decide to get one for yourself, watch this video first.

Only had three frames in the extractor, started cranking it and it came apart!! Worked all day to get it repaired (it's brand new)

It's a decently cool day in the Panhandle of Texas and we've been working in constant heat. Still getting a lot done. Cutting dead trees.

Moving stuff around, getting new livestock, building fences, it's a lot of work.

Fun times on the homestead. The work is coming along and we're making a bit of headway. We still have a long way to go but it's looking a little better around here! We'll keep you posted as we continue on. Thank you for watching and commenting. I can use your input for sure!!

We sold our old homestead about 2 years ago and moved behind Sherry's parents to help take care of her alzheimers stricken mother and her aging caregiver father. Once Sherry's mom passed away, we thought we might do the RV thing and travel around the country. We did, diesel got ridiculously expensive and we stopped, sold all our RV stuff and bought the new homestead. Starting all over again is not a simple thing at our age. It's a lot of work but it's certainly a labor of love. With the world going crazy now, we thought it best to grow food and prepare for whatever might happen. So, here we are....hope you enjoy our videos.

We took a 3 1/2 week trip in the RV and had the perfect chance to try out our new Wilderness Plush King RV Mattress. The proof is in and the results are here. Check it out and see for yourself. Would you buy one....would you not??

We love this place! The donuts were absolutely super fantastically awesome, the apple cider was so very yummy and fresh and the folks were so kind! Great place to overnight. Up to 5 units. As you can see in this video, there are 4 units at the time and 3 of them were large! Plenty of room! New Paris, Ohio

If you're not familiar with Harvest Host, you might want to get up to date. These are awesome entrepreneurs who open their spaces up to weary travelers coming through to stop over for a night on their way to somewhere else. They usually have great food, goodies and plenty of space to park your car, van, camping rig or whatever. Ours is 42 feet and they had plenty of room here for us!

Today's Harvest in New Paris, Ohio is a super fun place. Room for 3 units and an easy one for large units as well. Pies, Ice Cream, Jams, Jellies, Apple Cider......what more could you ask for!! The hosts are super nice and ready to help! We love this place!!!

A BIG mishap at Lake Shelbyville cost us plenty but we felt so very blessed to leave intact and ready for the remainder of our adventure! We were fortunate enough to call on a man who is a fantastic RV mobile repairman who made special provision to take care of us and get us back on the road quickly and safely!!

We leave a legacy detailing our lives, whether good or bad. This is a tribute to Sherry Horn Taylor's mother Minnie Lou Horn who made such an impact on her family and hundreds of friends that she touched. This video is a pictorial depiction of love personified.

It's amazing how much stuff needs to be taken on trips for safety, convenience and comfort. See some of the things we are doing to make life much nicer in our RV

The Solitude 375RES does not come with locks on the compartments that house the propane tanks. Seems to me like a convenient way for a thief to abscond with the tanks......I decided to take a five minute job of removing and installing those closures and locks and turn it into a 2 hour job.....it's what I do...

After three years of beekeeping, you'd think I'd know their habits a little better.......but I don't!! I opened up the vents, it's an insulated hive, it gets late afternoon shade.......??????

My first experience installing a package of bees in my new Layens Horizontal Hive without getting stung! I didn't have my bee suit and and had to do it with fear and trembling!! Just kidding!! I stored my bee suit in the barn (somewhere) and had no idea where it was. So, after church on Sunday morning, I took to the task and got 'er done! From getting the hive ready to completion......

Ordered 14 tons of flyash to get rid of the muddy driveway. The dump truck dumped it a little inconveniently but we figured it out! Sherry took her turn at operating the roller....fun to watch!!

We moved from our 2 acre homestead into a tiny house on a tiny lot! When you don't have land, you have to make do with what you have in order to grow your own food!! It can work!!!

A friend needed to get rid of her hens and I agreed to take them. The craziness that ensued was hilarious to watch! These are not your normal chicken catchin' folks. These chickens were wild and screamed like crazy when caught!! You'll wonder how we ever managed to catch them....

Quite a surprise we were privileged to enjoy! Our stay here in Cancun was pretty spectacular and certainly not what we expected! The service, the accommodations, the food and the people were so much more than expected. We hope you'll take the opportunity to check it out for yourselves.....

We took a couple of weeks off and went to Cancun. We experienced some of the finest cuisine and resort service we never realized existed for normal folks like us....https://rumble.com/upload.php#

Do I till my garden like I always have or should I use the no till method of gardening? What's the difference and how does it work?

Well, I can't believe it either! Anybody that knows me knows how I avoid the kitchen at all costs. I decided we needed some oatmeal cookies and I was going to make them....much to Sherry's shock and amazement!! I said (in the video) that I would put the recipe in the description, but since they didn't turn out the way Sherry thought they should, she didn't want me to give out the recipe. (What does that say about my cooking abilities?)

It's been quite a job but we finally got the place liveable. We'll show you here just a quick picture of what we've done. Sorry we didn't do enough of the before shots to share!! It is certainly 180% improvement for sure!!

We're excited to get our new layens horizontal hive ready for spring bees. We bought an insulated hive from horizontalhives.com and hope to now raise bees with the natural beekeeping system laid out by Dr. Leo Sharashkin. Less work for the beekeeper, less intrusion on the bees.
