Hello people!

I previously advised pumpkin as a natural dewormer. We initially heard this advice from our sheep mentors and have heard it countless times since. TIME TO DEBUNK. In this video we dove into a recent study that tests this centuries-old advice.

Hope this helps. Happy homesteading. Enjoy!

ABOUT THE HIGH MOUNTAIN HOMESTEAD

Hi! I’m PJ, and my family loves the homesteading life! It’s something my wife and I have always wanted to do, but we grew up with ZERO HOMESTEADING EXPERIENCE!!!!!

We grew up in beautiful southern California, 15 minutes away from the beach. As amazing as that was, we both dreamed of a life closer to land and animals. After getting married and moving to Utah, our family slowly grew. We had become a family of four living in a townhome with a small backyard filled with potted plants.

In 2019 we dipped our feet into homesteading on 1 ¼ acre lot in Utah. In 18 months we were ready to do this for real. So in 2021 we packed everything up and moved to North Carolina to 12 acres and we love every inch of our homestead!

We raise Dorper sheep and have big plans for:
• grass-fed lamb
• meat chickens
• laying chickens
• heritage breed pork
• honey
• row crops
• perennial food forest
• and more

I hope you join us on our journey, subscribe and ring the bell if you haven’t yet.
