Titus Freeman Homestead

Old-time homestead gardening and self-reliance skills from a family journal

Home gardeners and aspiring homesteaders with some land who want to grow food cheaply and be self-reliant; the narration addresses viewers as 'friend' and 'neighbor' and leans on old-time nostalgia (inferred; no audience statistics).

• Realistic avatar
• A photorealistic older man with a full white beard and glasses, in a plaid shirt with suspenders and a brown wide-brim hat or green cap. He is shown in sunlit gardens and fields, often wide-eyed, pointing at an oversized plant or build.

About 20 min: a cold open on a 1930s homesteader who fed 6 to 9 people, a 'knowledge quietly left the shelf' twist, then a 7-to-25-item countdown or list (10 of 16 videos) from a grandfather's journal, or a single-plant or build walk-through; ends 'Keep the old ways'.

• Forgotten heirloom and perennial food plants
