Just subscribed to your channel and catching up on your adventures. Thanks for taking time to document the process. And yes, I would love to do what you’re doing.
From freelance writing to opening a farm store, education center, and workshop space, I am taking everything I know and turning it into in-person classes. Come visit! House of Green Saratoga should be open next month.
So inspiring to see a young person doing such good work. With the farmland disappearing and being bbought up by Bill Gates and China, it's wonderful to see someone saving an important part of our culture and future. I'm 76 and hope to be able to buy farmland in the near future and create a place for veterans to work and live through farming the land. Prayers for your future success.
You’re an amazing woman and I’m extremely impressed on your courage to build and reinvent your life to reflect your fundamental principles. We need more people like you in our community.
One of the BEST decisions I made turning my tool shed into a cabin home was going with a TANKLESS HOT WATER HEATER. It has saved a ton of space, fits in functionally, and unlike a tank water heater, I NEVER, ever ever ever EV-er, run out of hot water. I live alone, and my electric bill RARELY if ever goes over $100. Hope you consider this peice of advice. Ive been using it for 3 years so far. No issue, just contentment in the shower, lol
Curious about your back story… 5 real estate transactions…at your young age !? How did you get started ? What is your background? Where did you get starter capital ? You are an inspiration… not only for your age group, but for all who are pursuing their dreams,& goals !!!
Saratoga NY....I grew up just south of the area...heh...make no mistake she inherited money and/or is a downstate or Long Island transplant. LOTS of those up here the lasy few years. "Ecopreneur". Yeah another BS buzzword. Saratoga is like Beverly Hills. Super rich snobby LEFTISTS. Notice how she's all by herself. No boyfriend/husband, gotta be a Boss Bitch. Should be wanting a family but probably thinks that's evil and oppressive and causes "climate change". I'm 35 and my grandparents threw way more money at me than they should have, I'm qualified to comment. I also don't care if I'm wrong about this one. Saratoga still sucks, again all fake people that worship Hollywood but think they're different because "its the woods of Upstate NY" and they wear Patagonia and go skiing and smoke weed and listen to Grateful Dead as if no one else ever tried that. SORRY!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh and I'm an RPI-graduated semicondutor engineer. Former student jumped to his death in a stairwell first year I was there. Lost my dad probably to GE PCBs when I was 15. So I'm not listening to ANYONE. If these people want to keep their land in the hands of THE PEOPLE sell it to THE PEOPLE at a PRICE the people can afford. That means not $500,000 for 200 acres. That means like FIFTY thousand. Take a stand, CARE about your fellow man, GIVE something to someone who CLEARLY is of little means. My grandparents ALSO sold a $250k house to my buddy and his dad for $150k because they liked them and this was the biggest mortgage they could get. That was in 2010. Farm Credit. Yeah CREDIT. Yeah let's abuse another government/banking device and go into MORE debt. AGAIN. IF YOU OWN LAND AND VALUE YOUR COUNTRY PASS IT ON TO YOUR POORER COUNTRYMEN CHEAPLY. If you are old and unprepared to stop working, TOO BAD. You prioritized yourself over country, and now you are selling out to robber barrons and CHINA. There is NO EASY WAY OUT OF THIS.
U have great taste- the shade of green perfectly ties into the natural cedar wood tone to top it off with the entry barn doors & hardware!! Looks so good! It's gracious to see u be so appreciative for the high quality craftsmanship by the amish team im blown away with the finish work especially on how meticulously clean & organized they are!! Prayers to u and your new barn
I’m so happy to watch these videos now! You started while back speaking about this and not knowing what you were going to create. And WOW! My mind is blown. I was just in upstate New York near Jefferson County two months ago and fell in love with that area. I’m binging all of your videos now! 😅
This is so inspiring! You have such a beautiful spirit...and I LOVE your positivity! It's amazing to see someone who KNOWS what they want and where they are going in life! Thank you for shining and sharing your very bright light. ❤ May God bless you and the Amish team you're working with! I'm sure they are wonderful people, too! 🥰
My wife would absolutely love the green! (I like it too.) I can't wait to see the finished barn. Speaking from experience, the parking lot & walkway is going to be a nightmare to clear snow from. You'll wind up with gravel all around where you want it.
It is a beautifully hand crafted place. HOWEVER, I find such presentations very deficient when *”the big elephant in the room”* is ignored, which is $$$$$! Particularly, when the genesis of your videos relates to putting 25% down to buy your land, which you clearly acknowledged with much lower down payment and options in availability of different grants for lowering your land purchase down payment. So it would be great to know how much did it cost to put together such a beautiful barn in the least amount of time!
I live in Virginia, but my husband is from Clifton Park and we travel back home a couple of times a year these days. I’d love to stop in the next time we’re in town!
So exciting to see your progress and learn from you! I am very interested in all the steps you take to turn an idea into a reality - including all the challenges and how you overcome them. You are truly an inspiration!
Awesome build the barn is beautiful I think something like that would cost $1 million to build in California Best of the luck with everything and thanks for the tour 🙏
I'm so happy I found your channel!! My goal is to create a permaculture haven hosting artists, through 6-week residencies, and community events similar to you! The missing link is funding... but learning how you were able to do it with a USDA loan has given me so much hope that I too can make it possible
Lavender is Beautiful plant that's easy to maintain they call it plant that grows in adversity because the soil needs little to no fuss , it does like low moisture I put sand in the soil to create that low moisture environment, it would be nice in a bed around your property , besides makes great teas😊
Girl you're amazing! First gal I find relatable being that you are nomadic in spirit. I'd love to know what you're take was on deciding on upstate NY and if time will be dualed in other places! Currently looking for land in the Tri-state myself! :)
Wow so my comment was way late lol! Similar to what was thinking but you did great! Congratulations! Obviously disregard my comment on your first land purchase video.😂😂😂 hugs!
This is great information and I have a lot of RESPECT for people that CLEAN UP after themselves. ⭐✅⭐ I too like a very clean environment to work in and when we finish we make sure that the environment is clean again. Amen 😇😇😇 QUESTION do the Amish communicate with the Amish people here in Florida??? Maybe You can find out that information. I like their pies and their blueberry pies are freaking awesome. They make over 40,000 JUST for blueberry pies for Thanksgiving. Pumpkin pies are great too. You should definitely sell pies in your GREEN HOUSE👍 Thanks Alan 😀🦜🇺🇸
Metal roof, thats at least 5000sf timber construction, slab, driveway, not to mention plumbing, electrical, insulation, windows and all the finish work - I’m guessing 600k if there is no contractor involved?
Are you thinking about buying land?
Yes I am..do you recommend your agent?
yes maam
Just subscribed to your channel and catching up on your adventures. Thanks for taking time to document the process. And yes, I would love to do what you’re doing.
@@unixpro2 happy to have you here!
I am!
Cleanliness is next to godliness. This company and its employees are moral.
Finding honest people is impossible you just showed us a good strategy.
Love this ! And I love the positive light you shine on the Amish community. The World needs more hard working, respectful people like them !
It really does!
Please make a breakdown of the cost of building the barn when it’s all finished.

I love that color of green.

Amish craftsmanship! Excellent!
Thanks for the ideas, The Amish Rock...God bless them.
God bless you Alexandra. Your barn looks lovely!

Real nice indeed, you have me thinking about the farming
RUclips sent me here, your barn is gorgeous, I look forward to following your story!! God Bless!
Wow! They do great work! Awesome video. Congrats on living your life your way.
Wood chips draw in termites and other bugs. Decorative Stone is safest.
Curious about your back story… 5 real estate transactions…at your young age !? How did you get started ? What is your background? Where did you get starter capital ? You are an inspiration… not only for your age group, but for all who are pursuing their dreams,& goals !!!
Also curious
Me three! I just found you and would love to know more 😊

Family money probably

This is sooo amazing!!! I'm blown away at how beautiful this is! Can't wait to see it all finished! Congratulations!!!
This is simply beautiful!!

The Amish have a great life ethic
This was such a good barn tour... I had a great time!
thanks

Thank you for shining and sharing your very bright light. ❤ May God bless you and the Amish team you're working with! I'm sure they are wonderful people, too! 🥰
Green is my fav also
My wife would absolutely love the green! (I like it too.) I can't wait to see the finished barn. Speaking from experience, the parking lot & walkway is going to be a nightmare to clear snow from. You'll wind up with gravel all around where you want it.
thank you! im getting inspired!!!
Beautiful, love that wooden colonial Armish look and yes my favourite colour green.
It is a beautifully hand crafted place. HOWEVER, I find such presentations very deficient when *”the big elephant in the room”* is ignored, which is $$$$$! Particularly, when the genesis of your videos relates to putting 25% down to buy your land, which you clearly acknowledged with much lower down payment and options in availability of different grants for lowering your land purchase down payment. So it would be great to know how much did it cost to put together such a beautiful barn in the least amount of time!
@alexv259
I commented above that my guesstimate for just the barn was $200k. It was probably higher because Amish construction is not cheap.
I live in Virginia, but my husband is from Clifton Park and we travel back home a couple of times a year these days. I’d love to stop in the next time we’re in town!
So beautiful ❤ and smart, hardworking.
I love it Alex 😍 I've been keeping up with the barn journey since the past year!
So exciting to see your progress and learn from you! I am very interested in all the steps you take to turn an idea into a reality - including all the challenges and how you overcome them. You are truly an inspiration!
Aw thank you so much!
WOW!! Inpressive!! THANK YOU!!
im monolo from NYC. i am watching all of your farm videos....an a couple others
Love what you’re doing!
Awesome build the barn is beautiful I think something like that would cost $1 million to build in California Best of the luck with everything and thanks for the tour 🙏
Love the green roof! 👌💪
I'm so happy I found your channel!! My goal is to create a permaculture haven hosting artists, through 6-week residencies, and community events similar to you!

Nice job! Way to go!
CONGRATULATIONS !!! Subscribed.
This is cool
Just beautiful ❤😊
I cant wait to visit this masterpiece!!
Love the Amish!
Amen! Thank you!!!
LOVE THE GREEN.....Green is gold.....
Absolutely FABULOUS!!!!!!
Nice timber frame entrance
Amish building is beautiful, get as much b-roll of them working as you can
You said why people love watching Amish content, "IT restored my faith in himinity".
IT - referring to her experience
Lavender is Beautiful plant that's easy to maintain they call it plant that grows in adversity because the soil needs little to no fuss , it does like low moisture I put sand in the soil to create that low moisture environment, it would be nice in a bed around your property , besides makes great teas😊
Love to visit looking yours Neighborhood. .
Washing you good luck 👏🏽let’s see how this barn gonna turn out to
Yes please do a video on the electric, I would assume that if my neighbors had electric then it should be easy peasy too.
Impressive!
Beautiful barn wow! Could this same bldg be used as a residence? Spectacular 👏🏼
Girl you're amazing! First gal I find relatable being that you are nomadic in spirit. I'd love to know what you're take was on deciding on upstate NY and if time will be dualed in other places! Currently looking for land in the Tri-state myself! :)
You've amazing..❤❤
A very nice barn and yes the Amish make very nice work, And no Solar panels ? But have jou ever thought about a windmill ?? Gr from the Netherlands.
Just got done watching your video on usda loans, in that video I thought you said you can’t put a structure on, did you get a different style loan?
Please make a video about the electricity.
When you went to England and visited the Isle of Man did you catch the James Blunt “Your Beautiful!” Music Concert?
Godliness is cleanliness!
The Mexicans should learn how to keep a job site clean and neat.
Yes. Break down you getting electric on the land.
Don't do woodchips next to your building. You will be inviting termites to your building !
Beautiful person
Wow so my comment was way late lol! Similar to what was thinking but you did great! Congratulations! Obviously disregard my comment on your first land purchase video.😂😂😂 hugs!
Very Very cool❣️❣️❣️
Did the USDA loan cover the cost of building the barn or was that a separate loan ?
Word to the wise, don’t confuse well tempered with no temper.
Love it
IF AMISH BUILT IT
YOU CAN BE CERTAIN THEY OWN IT.
Awesome!
Very Nice!
Didn't realize the Amish used sliding compound mitre saws and Hilti cordless nail guns lol Guess they're progressive Amish 😆

5:40 is the bottom "step" gonna me covered with the floor? finish floor can't be that high. ... perhaps I ll see it in one of the newer videos.
Metal roof, thats at least 5000sf timber construction, slab, driveway, not to mention plumbing, electrical, insulation, windows and all the finish work - I’m guessing 600k if there is no contractor involved?
That shade of green should be called money making green 😀
Haha true!
Very Nice
What type of spray insulation is that? It looks awesome!
LENDER OWNS PROPERTY UNTIL FINAL PAYMENT.
IF BOUGHT WITH CASH
ANY LOAN SECURED ON IT WILL MAKE LENDER OWN IT UNTIL FINAL PAYMENT.
I don’t like green till you liked it😊
Show getting ther electric process. Thanks in advance.
What type of education classes are you having?
Out of curiosity do you have any plans to have livestock?
Good for you girl. I am sorry that North Dakota has no Amish?
What was the total cost toward building your house?
How does one find an Amish builder.
Power tools are allowed in Amish communities?
I built a pole barn once.
What is a “keystone species “ precious?
Backup power supply?
So how much it cost you to have this built by the Amish???
@rolllady
Amish built buildings are NOT cheap. Not cheap at all.
How is AC bad for ur health? AC and heat are the same exact thing pretty much, a coil is hot or cold and it heats or cools a space.
Do you know what you are going to call your future business?
They're German, thats all there needs to be said. 😊 🖤❤💛
What is the cost of the barn ??
