At 70, She CHOOSES a Life Without Technology | She Homesteads Like It’s the 1800’s
Cottage and Company posted no new films, leaving two very different kinds of Vermont work to explore: cutting a field by hand and baking sourdough with solar power. The husband-and-wife filmmakers, Palmer and Alex, added about 79,000 views across their library while subscribers held steady at 200,000. Daily viewing is close to its usual pace.
Suzanne Lupien's farm film has the strongest daily momentum among the channel's featured videos. In "At 70, She CHOOSES a Life Without Technology | She Homesteads Like It's the 1800's," she sharpens a European scythe and works through her fields, discussing why she chooses it over a mower. The chapter list makes room for a bird's nest, a sweet snack in the field and scything among her horses. It's part of an ongoing portrait of Harken Farm, where hand tools, draft horses and compost figure prominently in the work.
The other Suzanne, Suzanne Slomin, brings technology into a traditional craft. "She Risked Everything To Build a Solar Bakery On Her 3-Acre Homestead — It Sells Out Every Day" tours Green Rabbit Bakery above Waitsfield, following starter feeding, dough mixing, shaping and packaging. Its companion film tells the story of neighbors' initial worries about a backyard business giving way to a welcome for local bread.
Among nearby home-and-DIY channels, USA Inspection and Reserve Home had substantially larger viewing weeks. Cottage and Company's own week was more modest, with the hand-cut fields drawing more daily views than either bakery film.
