I’m not going to do well at explaining this but I’ll try, because I think it’s important. There are bucket loads of “homesteaders” on RUclips. Only a few of them for me have “the Rhodes feel”. Now I’m sure some of that has to do with the blessing of skill they have to catch it on film. BUT. You guys are already there. You’re not even settled yet and already have “the feel”. You could be buffaloing all of us but there is a genuineness to you. Once you’re settled and creating content specific to you guys I think the sky is the limit. It’s so encouraging to see you sit in front of the camera and say “I’m not going to sit and hide why we are doing this. I want my family back.” The way you two look at each other when those words are coming out of your mouth shows that there was a struggle and you manned up took responsibility and you’re steering the boat back on course. When you speak those words she is looking at you with respect as you are talking because of it. Anyway. I could go on and on. There can only be one “Justin’s family”. I can’t wait to see the awesomeness that will come from Ben’s! As long as you produce content I’ll be watching. Thanks for letting us come along.
I'm telling you, Western NC is your place. I've lived in Dillsboro, Sylva, Whittier, Bryson City, Waynesville, Hendersonville, and worked at the hospital in Asheville. These are your people!!
I’m in tears Meg and Ben...you said you want your family back. So do I but I’m 65 and my husband will be 69 next month. We raised them up in the way of the Lord and I even pulled them out of public school to homeschool them. But my family is so messed up and distant! My adult children married those who were unequally yoked as the scriptures say! Which has caused so much heartache! 3 of them have gotten into things that they should of never touched...alcohol for one and other things that have tore them down. I don’t see them or talk to them anymore! Which is very hard, but we had to, to keep our sanity! So be grateful that you are doing whatcha your doing. I wish I knew what I know today. We would be doing the same thing. There’s so much out there to kill, steal and destroy! I do have one daughter that is trying so hard to protect her family! She is homeschooling her babies. We are close to each other. So continue on your journey and protect those sweet little ones. You’re doing the right thing! Blessings and prayers Jan
What a beautiful heart you have,@Dan B, to share all of that and give encouragement and hope. God bless your good seed that you plant in all of your journeys!
Jan, I know it doesn't help to say, you're not alone but they have to learn to grow! Perhaps it'll be too late for them but you did what you had to and one child is intact. That's a blessing, concentrate on her. Peace out.
I just saw you the other day on the video of you homestead sitting for the Rhodes. And when Justin said that when he came home you had done more then just watch the place,that you had actually made it flourish. That's when I looked up your channel and subscribed. I think that you have such a wonderful family and a great outlook on life. Justin Rhodes and his wonderful family have really helped you by you helping him. I do believe that you will get a lot of new subscribers now. He is one of the best friends a homestead channel can have in my opinion. I think you have an awesome wife also. She always seems to be smiling and happy and exuberant about life. That's a good sign that she has an awesome partner in life!😊😊
We spent 4 days with the Rhodes two weeks before you and they spent 4 days with us in MN on the GAFT. Every word you said is true, they are truly amazing people. Looking forward to following your journey!
I'm following you because of Heartiness Approach. You need to be settling near them and the Rhodes. Your family will only become more awesome for your contact with their family. God bless.
This is the first video of yours that I've watched. But I watch Justin every day. I remember when you worked in the garden and how eager and willing your children were. I also watch Art and Bri and have seen that there are a lot of empty farms in the area. I have been to the Asheville area several times and love it there. I want you to consider settling down there. You will have friends, help and community built in. Farther north, too much snow; farther south, too hot and humid. Since you are kind of unscheduled, just throw it out and settle down for the holidays...in North Carolina. 😉.
I was taken with how well Ben and Justin worked together. He and Jonah can do a lot, but Ben was more like a brother from another mother. They fed off each other's knowledge and really lit up with joy. So happy for your family with this week in NC. Prayers for safe travel and more grand adventures as you meet other "family" you have out there.
I know exactly how you guys feel. We hosted them for 3 days on the GAFT and my wife and I spent a long weekend with them this spring when we went up for the Mother Earth News Fair. They are one of the most encouraging and inspiring families you will ever meet! They are true to life - what you see on their videos is really how they live off the camera as well. My family is blessed and honored to call the Rhodes family friends. On another note, if you guys come to Eastern NC, let us know, would love to meet up with you!
I myself never had any doubts about the Rhodes family. I only wish they lived next door or a cross the street from me. I too know not just the work they do on the farm but how they are with their family values...and that I keep coming back to visit their website. When i was very young I always wanted to live on a farm where I grew up in Ohio and have animals and a farm family but it never happened.. I am grateful for having the internet and Utube so I am able to follow Justin and Becky and Art and Briana and have visits with them once in a while. God Bless. I live alone so I enjoy celebrating their joys I.E. birthdays etc a feeling like I am a part of a family since I really do not have any family anymore. Thanks so much!
I completely agree with you! My husband and I who watch every Justin Rhodes video saw the ones your family is apart of and were so excited! We could see the connection and the extra energy, excitement, and love from 2 families coming together. We can see how happy Justin was to work with you. If I could go back and redo life. This is how I would raise my family. Shake off all that is not necessary that draws you away from the foundation. A strong foundation lasts a lifetime. Congratulations on finding your truth and our blessings and thoughts are with you on your journey. 💗
Hello from Ohio!! I truly enjoyed the video, I found you through recommended channel, by way of Justin Rhodes and "YES" they are a beautiful family and you guys are absolutely lovely young couple/family who is actively putting Family above everything else.. Such an Amazing feeling watching you, "Do This"... New Subscriber!!❤🙌🙌🙌🙌
Thank you folks for visiting our part of this Great country. I have a small farm south east of Justin and have learned so much from them the last two and half years following. I"m wishing your family safe travels and hope you continue to grow your journey.
Man, you guys made me cry watching this! I'm a lot quicker to cry over something touching and beautiful than something sad and this was as beautiful as it gets. I really do hope no other place you visit touches you as deeply as your visit to western NC and your visit with the Rhodes. I'd love to see your kids grow up best friends! Plus, it sure doesn't hurt that your video is well-seasoned with glorious drone shots throughout. I'm looking forward to watching your channel, but I'll also go back and watch from the beginning.
I'm a new fan! I've seen you guys on and off but I've watched both you and the Rhodes through both of your time together! It's so cool to see two separate families come together with the same self sustainability goal! I'm so happy for you guys
The longer y'all stay in NC it seems the slimmer the chances of y'all settling in Colorado and us becoming best friends... What a wonderful visit you seemed to have had though! Onward!
Justin & Rebekah are #1. It is wonderful that you came to North Carolina! You will never be the same after coming here! I hope and think that you all will somehow end up staying and living here! Journey On! But Please Come Stay Forever!
I can see you and your family living in North Carolina, I subscribed and I wish you and your family the very best of luck on your farming/homesteading adventure.
It's so wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the area so much and you are the next in a long line of folks who attest to the genuine nature of the Rhodes family. I'm a premium member of theirs and I always value and enjoy being able to learn from and talk to them. We live in Raleigh right now, but will likely be relocating up near them next year because we love it up there so much! Who knows... maybe we will all be neighbors one day ;)
Chelsea Hartweg Hello Chelsea, ( hope I'm not intruding), How does one go about subscribing to Justin Rhodes premium? Is it something just for homesteading? I'd appreciate it, if you could share. Thank you❤ Have a blessed day!🙌
No intrusion at all! He opens up registering for his membership area twice a year (in spring and fall, so you'd have to wait until spring at this point). He has a general membership as well as a premium membership. General members get access to the member area on his website (LOTS of amazing extra teaching content there) and the member facebook group, which is a really wonderful community of folks all posting questions and helping each other (and the Rhodes chime in a lot too). The premium members such as myself get access to that as well as priority email responses, a phone number to text him for help, and a twice-monthly group webinar, where we all hop into a zoom meeting and ask questions and help each other. I really can't speak highly enough about the whole set up. I've learned SO much, and, more than that, I feel a part of a community and don't feel like I'm the only weirdo who loves this stuff. The content he posts is generally along the same veins as what is in the vlogs (mostly homesteading, but with occasional healthy living and such), but the webinars and emails/texts we are free to ask him whatever we like, and questions have ranged from detailed homesteading things, to balancing family stuff, to RUclips, to homesteading with chronic illness... it's really pretty open-ended. I think it's worth every penny and then some, and can't recommend it enough :)
Thanks for the video. I sent you an email a few days ago if you decide NC is where you want to be. Please look at it as a possibility. Have fun on the rest of your journey.
The Rhodes are amazing people, I am so excited for you guys and cant wait to watch the process when you make this transition to your own homestead :) hope you continue to take us on this wild and crazy adventure :D
Love it. I'm telling you Hollars- and I know the Michiganders and others say the same, but I think VA/NC is your place. ;-) Wishful thinking, anyway. Thanks for sharing your hearts.
How awesome it would be to hang out with Justin and Rebecca. Watching their videos has drawn me in to love and respect them!! I'm glad you and Ben and the children stayed the week with Justin and Rebecca I know you all had a blast from watching the other videos that Justin put out. Love your story and your journey I'm with you to the end.
I love hearing and seeing how God is blessing you kids. As you seek out the homestead HE has being prepared. Just remember God promises that they who seek will find. But always Seek ye first the kingdom of GOD and HIS righteousness THEN all these things we be added unto us... I love you kids and am praying for you... Be blessed in Jesus name... BBE ...
I love your transparency on feelings of nervousness when meeting up with someone for the first time. I can relate to that as well.. It brings much encouragement to know that others feel the same. Your family is such an encouragement in many ways that you may not even be aware of. Thank you all so much for sharing your journey with us! God Bless you and safe travels :)
Wonderful you had such a lovely visit,,, The Rhodes family have so much to be admired for but the tie that binds their hearts is their faith in the Lord..... great week to you.... Sass
I suspect you have been getting a lot closer to narrowing down your final landing place! So glad you were able to have a great visit with them, it's always nice to connect with likeminded people for sure.
You could tell there was a connection which is why i loved the videos. Meg the way your husband hugged Justin melted my heart. You have met some great people and Im sad yall had to leave but i understand. Stay positive
Just saw Art and Bri pig roast video too. Watching their video and The Rhodes & your vid put the story all together. It was quite a week! You learned a lot. Keep going south. You DO need to compare. Obviously NC is a very good option. There is a lot of cheep land a little farther from Ashville but close enough to get there and be part of the community of homesteaders there.
And if the summer heat of the Asheville area is too much for you, you can head a little further north up here to the Boone NC area where it is a little cooler because higher altitudes.
you guys are precious so glad you got to hand with the Rhodes, I'm jelly of you for that. I bless you, good job, I'm happy for you to be able to travel and find ur new homestead. Good luck and I pray God bless u in ur venture and you do find the perfect homestead for your precious family
It is want life is all about! Building memories with your family that will last a lifetime. To many people live to work hoping for the good life at retirement. What they should be doing in working to live! Building those bonds with others, family, and friends. It is nice to see that you guys have the chance to see how others are living a life that most only dream of. I look forward to seeing the little piece of heaven you fine and start you new life as FAMILY! - Jeff
I am very touched to see the devotion the two of you have for each other and your family...been married 30 years and know that sometimes it is a decision to make it work. You are on the right track and will never regret the time you are taking to ensure a happy life! And it is nice to have mentors that can model the lifestyle you want in the face of our "modern" world.
Beautiful video. I wish your family the best on the rest of your travels, and I hope you find your perfect place to put down new roots. I have really enjoyed your travels so far.
Wahoo u guys ...like I said before this was epic meet up.. I am sad n happy this happened seemed tooo quick...I truly appreciate your vlogs and what you guys are doing as a family..🤗🤗🤗🤗
No, we wound up going south first because it was getting so cold and the trailer isn’t an all-season. So we are headed toward Florida and will try for Tennessee later.
I do not know if you can get all of what you all have or are really seeking in California anymore as there are a lot of bad ideas in which Real Family Ideals are frowned against in California in at least the last 30 years and I have been the last 5 years with my young adult son here in Northwest Arizona less toxic to real family life that you are talking about here than California had become like losing my marriage in California I want my son to be able to have a real family life like yours and the Rhodes family . I love watching your videos as I was living in Bakersfield for the last 11 years from 2002 to 2013 in fact I also started homeschooling my son in 2004 there we first used the Charter school on Chester avenue Valley Oaks right next to The Pioneer Village as well my completed his boy scouts to make it to the rank of Eagle Scout through our Church St. Philip the Apostle Roman Rite Catholic Church at 7100 Stockdale Highway the last public school he went to was Castle elementary school in southwest Bakersfield . Family values are the greatest reason to quit the toxicity of the rat race I am Angelica Speakman and my son is James Braden and we are in Golden Valley , Arizona with my mother hopefully and prayerfully I will be getting my online childrens clothing business going really soon so that I will get my own homestead right here with a tiny house on it like Better Together Life is doing in Texas .
Ah, so kind of you... especially after you've seen ALL the other 23 hours and 40 minutes of the day :)
You know we love you! All 24 hours of you. 😉❤️
To be honest, it speaks well for you and your children that you are asked to stay longer than planned. Glad y'all had such a wonderful visit.
That’s so kind of you to say, thank you!
I’m not going to do well at explaining this but I’ll try, because I think it’s important. There are bucket loads of “homesteaders” on RUclips. Only a few of them for me have “the Rhodes feel”. Now I’m sure some of that has to do with the blessing of skill they have to catch it on film. BUT. You guys are already there. You’re not even settled yet and already have “the feel”.

Wow, thank you so so much for that. That means a lot for us to hear! We are so glad to have you along for the journey with us.
I'm telling you, Western NC is your place. I've lived in Dillsboro, Sylva, Whittier, Bryson City, Waynesville, Hendersonville, and worked at the hospital in Asheville. These are your people!!
A once in a life time experience to spend a week with the Rhodes. True American Heros.
I’m in tears Meg and Ben...you said you want your family back. So do I but I’m 65 and my husband will be 69 next month.

Oh Jan, I'm sorry to hear that. Life is hard, and can pull us all in different directions.
Jan, I can sooooo relate.... big hugs, sister!
What a beautiful heart you have,@Dan B, to share all of that and give encouragement and hope. God bless your good seed that you plant in all of your journeys!
Jan, I know it doesn't help to say, you're not alone but they have to learn to grow! Perhaps it'll be too late for them but you did what you had to and one child is intact. That's a blessing, concentrate on her. Peace out.

He definitely has something special. I look up to his fathering skills and push to be as good to my children.

I knew y'all had made a special connection, you could totally see it..y'all aren't gonna forget each other..I just know it..warms my heart❤️❤️❤️
I'm in sanford North Carolina so we love nc .We hope
you want to make the Carolina's your homestead
I Love families staying together, doing their life together. Life is short and loving each other the way I see both your families is a Blessing. 😄⭐👍✌
If I ever had the chance to move to N.C.....I'd do it in a heartbeat.
I saw you at the Rhodes place and joined your vlog because you are good people.. God will help you find the correct area to settle down..
Hello from Ohio!! I truly enjoyed the video, I found you through recommended channel, by way of Justin Rhodes and "YES" they are a beautiful family and you guys are absolutely lovely young couple/family who is actively putting Family above everything else.. Such an Amazing feeling watching you, "Do This"...

Noticed that too. Definitely as a connection!
Beautiful Ohio..YaY..hi Tami!!
Justin is the man..... Bless you all

Hey Justin. Just wanted to thank you for the way you lead your family. Definitely rubbed off on me and our family. Bless you bro
The longer y'all stay in NC it seems the slimmer the chances of y'all settling in Colorado and us becoming best friends... What a wonderful visit you seemed to have had though! Onward!
Oooh we did love Colorado too!
I mean, come on. Who doesn't love the Rhodes family. I have been following them now for a very long time and I absolutely adore them all.
Love your Family so much and your videos .
Justin & Rebekah are #1. It is wonderful that you came to North Carolina! You will never be the same after coming here! I hope and think that you all will somehow end up staying and living here! Journey On! But Please Come Stay Forever!
We are definitely considering making this our home!
I can see you and your family living in North Carolina, I subscribed and I wish you and your family the very best of luck on your farming/homesteading adventure.
Thank you! We’re glad to have you with us.
It's so wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the area so much and you are the next in a long line of folks who attest to the genuine nature of the Rhodes family. I'm a premium member of theirs and I always value and enjoy being able to learn from and talk to them.

The Rhodes are amazing people, I am so excited for you guys and cant wait to watch the process when you make this transition to your own homestead :) hope you continue to take us on this wild and crazy adventure :D
That is a nice area to live. I lived not far from there and it was hard to leave. Wonderful having all 4 seasons of the year!
I'm so glad to have discovered your channel. I love your youthful vigor, vulnerable honesty, and the hope you share with each other.
Love it. I'm telling you Hollars- and I know the Michiganders and others say the same, but I think VA/NC is your place. ;-) Wishful thinking, anyway. Thanks for sharing your hearts.
How awesome it would be to hang out with Justin and Rebecca. Watching their videos has drawn me in to love and respect them!!

I love your transparency on feelings of nervousness when meeting up with someone for the first time. I can relate to that as well.. It brings much encouragement to know that others feel the same. Your family is such an encouragement in many ways that you may not even be aware of. Thank you all so much for sharing your journey with us! God Bless you and safe travels :)
Glad you guys had so much fun and meshed so well. By the way, my 40th is the end of February, see you then.
a BEAUTIFUL SPIRITUAL AWAKENING!!!
Kathy Willis
Yes!! Indeed🙏🙏🙏
Sooo very glad you had this time together. What an encouragement for both families I am sure. Happy roaming til you find "it".
You also have that "something special" air. Looking forward to seeing more. Thanks from Australia 🐨🐨
Thank you for coming along with us!
as we seek to progress in our lives, towards our goals, in our calling... mentors like that are essential. Keep pushing forward.
This is a wonderful testimony to the awe and power of God! Family’s living out the commands of God.....very inspiring for others! Thank you!
Wonderful you had such a lovely visit,,, The Rhodes family have so much to be admired for but the tie that binds their hearts is their faith in the Lord..... great week to you.... Sass
Thank God ,, you have your family back. God Bless you. 🙏🏻🤗
I suspect you have been getting a lot closer to narrowing down your final landing place! So glad you were able to have a great visit with them, it's always nice to connect with likeminded people for sure.
I think it's getting both easier to narrow down, and harder all at the same time!
You could tell there was a connection which is why i loved the videos. Meg the way your husband hugged Justin melted my heart. You have met some great people and Im sad yall had to leave but i understand. Stay positive
They definitely had some chemistry! We are so thankful for them.
Just saw Art and Bri pig roast video too. Watching their video and The Rhodes & your vid put the story all together. It was quite a week! You learned a lot.
Keep going south. You DO need to compare. Obviously NC is a very good option. There is a lot of cheep land a little farther from Ashville but close enough to get there and be part of the community of homesteaders there.
And if the summer heat of the Asheville area is too much for you, you can head a little further north up here to the Boone NC area where it is a little cooler because higher altitudes.
You Americans are such nice people!!!!! Why does the world only see the Hollywood hype?

It is want life is all about! Building memories with your family that will last a lifetime. To many people live to work hoping for the good life at retirement. What they should be doing in working to live! Building those bonds with others, family, and friends. It is nice to see that you guys have the chance to see how others are living a life that most only dream of. I look forward to seeing the little piece of heaven you fine and start you new life as FAMILY! - Jeff
Great video. Very moving. God Bless y'all.
I am very touched to see the devotion the two of you have for each other and your family...been married 30 years and know that sometimes it is a decision to make it work. You are on the right track and will never regret the time you are taking to ensure a happy life! And it is nice to have mentors that can model the lifestyle you want in the face of our "modern" world.
I so happy for y'all that y'all had a great visit and I enjoyed all the videos ,Thank ya'll for sharing and God Bless
Cant blame you for having a great time ❤️

Is NC now on your list of states you are considering?
The lord works in mysterious ways🤗😍💜
noice to hear that.
awww🤗
Which way are you headed now. Did you get to see any of Eastern Tenn.?
No, we wound up going south first because it was getting so cold and the trailer isn’t an all-season. So we are headed toward Florida and will try for Tennessee later.
I do not know if you can get all of what you all have or are really seeking in California anymore as there are a lot of bad ideas in which Real Family Ideals are frowned against in California in at least the last 30 years and I have been the last 5 years with my young adult son here in Northwest Arizona less toxic to real family life that you are talking about here than California had become like losing my marriage in California I want my son to be able to have a real family life like yours and the Rhodes family . I love watching your videos as I was living in Bakersfield for the last 11 years from 2002 to 2013 in fact I also started homeschooling my son in 2004 there we first used the Charter school on Chester avenue Valley Oaks right next to The Pioneer Village as well my completed his boy scouts to make it to the rank of Eagle Scout through our Church St. Philip the Apostle Roman Rite Catholic Church at 7100 Stockdale Highway the last public school he went to was Castle elementary school in southwest Bakersfield . Family values are the greatest reason to quit the toxicity of the rat race I am Angelica Speakman and my son is James Braden and we are in Golden Valley , Arizona with my mother hopefully and prayerfully I will be getting my online childrens clothing business going really soon so that I will get my own homestead right here with a tiny house on it like Better Together Life is doing in Texas .
Good woman. Don't ever give up! Live to have only the regrets you didn't get to do.

Soapy music does not a sincere vid make ; however, you get the benefit of the doubt.
