Homegrown

Ben and Nicole have committed to a goal of self-sufficiency; unfortunately, it's proving harder than they thought; homesteading isn't as glamorous as it may look online; Atlantic Canadian winters are proving more difficult than ever before.

As winter thaws, Ben and Nicole set out to tidy up the yard and prep the garden; with cleanup well underway, they pick up a new honeybee hive in hopes of being able to pollinate their garden and reap some sweet, sweet homegrown honey.

After getting a nasty sting on the face taking care of the bees, Ben and Nicole set out to hatch chicks from their own eggs for the first time; while waiting for hatchlings, they reap the first bounty from their garden.

After Ben and Nicole join friends to pick fiddleheads, and blueberries, Nicole catches the biggest fish of the season before diving into the world of raising meat chickens.

After losing too many birds to raccoons over the last couple of years, Ben and Nicole set out to catch their criminal and protect their meat bird investment in hopes of still filling the freezer with meat for the winter.

After a long eight weeks, the meat birds are finally ready for the freezer; family and friends join Ben and Nicole as they slaughter what's left of their chickens in hopes of being able to feed both them and Ben's parents for the winter.
