I was a hippy in the 70's, and lived in a couple of groups that were labled communs. We didn't want or need lables. We didn't have political agendas nor off-the-wall spiritual practices and only partied occationally. We wanted to live cleanly, work hard and be self supporting. I was married, had a career and grew most of what we needed. Husband built our house and was a wood miller for a large company. Go for it guys, it's a good life and I'm 69, healthy, no meds and still have a small homestead I work by myself.
My husband and I are about to hit 30 and we have decided to give up most of our materialistic possessions and pursue a simple life similar to yours and The Nomadic Movements. It's scary when everyone around you is telling you "you'll regret it" or "what about your future/retirement?". We believe life should be lived in the moment, not in the what-ifs and the some-days. Seeing stories like yours helps us realize we are making the right choice :)
@@casc9220 What I see is that many people are afraid of the unknown, afraid of change, afraid of being outcast by the Joneses, and also too attached to their ways of being and material possessions and clutter. It feels good to let go. It actually brings freedom. It also brings more self sovereignty and less dependency on everything which was needed to artificially sustain that previously clingy cluttery lifestyle. It's as though current society views wants as security blankets and can't separate them from needs. It's like most find it hard to differentiate that which serves and that which truly does not serve us. These awesome guys are just following where their hearts truly take them, unencumbered by the pressures of a stressed and unbalanced society. Kudos to them as they lead by their good example and self-determination.
This is the way to live- I have always wanted to. I think it would be a great idea for seniors as well. Aging in place and everyone pitching in. That’s my goal.
* Important Conderations...There are 7 families on my homestead and even though we live as one big family, they've all signed a contract. That basically includes respecting the land and one another (rules of conduct), what they can and can not do, and if not they have to leave. You should do something similar to protect yourself and others who may join you. Don't use, "giving it away," unless they're going to actually own the land. Protect yourself and say, "sharing our land."
Just read this comment after writing one of my own. Much better put then my fractured comment....you said it all, ZA....and you said it right. SHARING THE LAND....not giving. Like the contract, too. See, J and K...you can have your cake and eat it too!
@@ReclinerBabe thanks. I can't imagine any of them not being here but it pays to stay legal. They actually like the contract because it protects them too if someone here wrongs them, or if something happens to me. We've not had one issue in the 5 years we've been here. I did a lot of vetting before inviting anyone to join the Homestead so that helped.
Being I am in my 60's what you are trying to create is my childhood. Back then you would go out in the morning and meet up with your friends and we would go out on an adventure and come back home when it started to get dark. No worries what so ever. Where if you ever needed anything your neighbors would come together and get it done. Now a days most people don't even speak to there neighbors. I wish you luck and love what you are trying to create.
It was such a pleasure to see all your friends being busy at creating and building, and the kids running around with the goats there... This is a bit how I grew up in Austria in a small village where everybody knew everybody and people helped each other. There are many groups that live 'communally', some based on strong religious principles and beliefs, but a lot of them just on the basis of living together as a community, sharing, helping each other. - I love your vision for Lola's Farm! You're creating something very valuable and precious! - Onwards and upwards! :)
Lola laying upside down at the beginning-precious! Those clouds rolling by-absolutely beautiful! The tribute to Mexico and their sense of community-nice. The kids and their family are a sweet addition. As for the Keto, you can do it! I figure you'll be able to do it easily! The goat with the glasses on it's back end-hilarious! I think you 2 will make fabulous parents! Look at what examples you're setting already with the other kids! Kaylee, your hair at the end of the video looked so pretty! I love what you said, Jordan, about not wanting your kids looking at a screen all day! I wish more people felt that way! Take care and God bless you!
I find it curious that "hippies" have a bad rap. What you guys are doing is EXACTLY what we all should be striving for. You are right on, and I think it's fantastic.
The problem with hippies, back in the late 50s and 60s, wasn't the one for all and all for one. It was group sex and using hard drugs. It was being put in charge of 6 or 8 kids and getting stoned out of your mind. Also one person doing the most work and many people doing nothing. That killed the movement.
It’s exactly like the hippie movement as I knew it. It wasn’t at all about sex and drugs. A few gave it all a bad rap. This is what it really was like.
@@barbaramuzychka3836 Hippies protested the Vietnam War, which ended in 75. Kent State happened in 70. If anything Kent inflamed the hippies. It didn't end it.
Jordan you nailed it Bro. Thank you for showing us the beautiful community on Lola’s farm. Everything and everyone in the world is interconnected. Watching you and Kalie pay it forward the last year is such a beautiful thing. Nearly every time I watch your channel you move me to happy tears, which I am grateful. Peace out
I freaking love what you guys are doing, Good luck to you and all of your friends. God i wish my my wife and I were still young, Please give Lolla and Roger a big pat. We love you!
Watching this video ... And all that y'all are accomplishing there, well, it brought me such JOY!! Thank you for starting my day with much JOY & Happiness!! God bless you & all that you!!!
I am happy for you. Family, friends, community mean a lot. Many hands make light the work. Everyone works as a team. Always share what you have. You can never go wrong.
What an adventure you two are on. Such pure and generous hearts. There will always be naysayers. Some of it, I think, comes from fear and even envy. The rest of us cheer you on and live vicariously through you.
I quit drinking at the beginning of quarantine, and you guys present such a positive happy lifestyle that I think I'm going to quit smoking the marijuanas and try to make my life the same. Thanks from Wisconsin!
It takes a community and that’s what you have working together to live in peace and harmony. All skills will provide and others will learn skills from the community. No one will ever go hungry or be homeless. Thank you for providing the community the land to grow and enrich their lives. Your an amazing family 💯💜💯💜💯💜💯💜💯💜
@@jacqulinejackson4822 please go to vancity vanlife and watch" solo female surviving hard times by finding safety " and realize there is always a way out. Many women have found freedom in ways you can emulate.
Having those little ones around can only make it sooner than later to have your own running around. I loved how all the adults interacted with them. There was no "go away, we are busy" you stopped & gave them your time.. They won't remember the fence going up but will remember you playing with them. Love from Australia 🇦🇺🐨❤️☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄❤️🐨🇦🇺
You guys are the most generous, kind people. I lived in the hippie days & believe me your not hippies. I don't why they would call you a cult none of us would be watching your videos your just so so kind & generous, I am sorry to say most people would not understand that kind of generous living. GOD BLESS YOU BIG
By far the most interesting "Vanlife /Living the Dream" You Tubers. I have been following since the very early days and I have to say your commentary, camera and editing skills are top shelf. There is a lot of power in giving it away to keep it. Keep on trudging!
Lovely family!!! I have the privilege of calling Careen and her family my friends. Mis them so much and so happy to see them living their dream with you guys. I will come and visit.... One day.....
Hola, from our home here in Ville Escondido in beautiful Boquete, Panama, another lovely morning. We can now understand why you love it so much. We are so impressed by what you guys have accomplished. We would love to meet you guys if that could be arranged, please let us know. Dan & Val
Lola walking right next to the little boy is just the cutest 🤗. Yes, I love little communities like the one you’re creating! To have the support of others you fully trust, being able to share the work, raise the kids together, being able to go places and not worry about the animals left at home, your home itself being safe and cared for.........🥰
Cracking up at the chaos going on behind Kaylee...the 2 doggies play wrestling!! I don't think you are crazy at all for what you are doing. It's a beautiful farming community of people working the land and taking care of their families. I hope for every negative comment/message you receive, that you receive 100 positive ones. You are a blessing and you will be blessed. He is pleased. Keep the communication lines open, set the expectations, and deal with the issues as they arise. Peace and blessings....
After all this shizz going on in this world, I've had the most stressful 4 yrs of so much division and breaking it off with a few friends due to our differences. I can't wait to get my van and travel and see the world. Just watching your videos makes me have faith in humanity and I know there are many people out there feeling the same way. You all are living your best life, and we enjoy living vicariously through yours. Love the animals!
FLA GAL I so agree with you! I also live in FL and I am building my van little by little. Watch Bob Wells, he is full of good ideas. I will eventually start a Caravan club on Meet Up. Maybe we will meet there.good luck to you.
You are doing a great thing trying to create a community of like minded productive people. Over 30 years ago we moved out into the country near other friends who did the same thing. We each had and developed 5 acre parcels. We raised 7 children in this country community along with 6 other families. Our kids grew up on very little TV and no video games, but learned how to build and fix and enjoy projects. They all learned music and mechanics, and carpentry and gardening, etc. They are all grown now and are now raising their own families in a similar fashion. They all have the belief that they can accomplish anything they put their efforts and minds to do. Now we are enjoying watching our 13 grandkids, (so far) becoming talented and productive people. We have no regrets how we raised our country kids around other country kids and families. Watching your videos brings back so many fond memories. Keep up the great goals you are pursuing. Our community is located in the Antelope Valley of Southern Calif. Where we live does not feel like California , because we are surrounded by productive like minded people who love to work and create.
It's a gorgeous TRIBE of like minded hard working people who are benefitiing from your beautiful generously! Proud to be a tribe member from afar!❤ love love you guys!❤❤❤❤❤
Wonderful community. Do not forget to have some time just for the two of you. You are not crazy! You are just finding ways to fill your lives with respectful living. So awesome.
Sign me up!! I think what you guys are doing is simply getting off the “cult” train of materialism and greed, getting back to living life abundantly not excessively❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
This is community as it should be. This is the type of relationship that I tried to encourage my kids to develop as well. Over the years my children have gathered friends who become brothers and sisters and they are all my kids now. They help each other where they can, taking care of each other's animals, helping each other with things that they need done, feeding each other, staying at each other's houses, and just in general fellowshipping and enjoying each other. Acquaintances become friends, friends become family, and family stays together no matter how far apart they are. My late wife and I enjoyed this type of fellowship with our friends as well and love seeing it happen elsewhere. One day I would like to come visit your growing family.
I think you, young men and women on your channel are the wisest I've encountered thus far. And I have lived 65 years. I would join you in a heartbeat if not for my more than 14 grandchildren and great-grandchildren here in California. I watch everything you put up and I am never let down. You all are very entertaining. Rock On !!! :)
After seeing the amazing people you are surrounding yourselves with, how can anyone see this as anything but amazing! I am so happy for all of you! Dream it and watch it come to you!
Awwww... Jordan running around with the kid on the truck. Melted my heart...... 😊 my middle son is also named Jordan. Beautiful name. Love from England 💞
@@hd-xc2lz they’re working on a documentary of their journey to Panama and so on as they go. I don’t think it’ll be ready within the next year tho... every now and then they mention new kit they kit for a documentary, just listen for anything along those lines👏🏻🙆🏼♂️
@@damianwadsworth7603 Thanks for the reply. Will it be something other than a re-edit of their available youtube video material? Are they working with a third party, or is it auto-bio?
@@damianwadsworth7603 They're both very driven to complete their project as originally laid out. I wonder if the prospect of the documentary, even if never made, helps to stiffen their spines toward completion of the project, taking no shortcuts? Very impressive how far they've come considering how little experience/know-how they had in building trades. And witnessing their humility and never-give-up attitude rewarded is what makes them a good watch.
@@hd-xc2lz well yeah I assume that’s what the documentary will be like but with more of a base line story to it. No I don’t think any third party’s are involved besides maybe go pro sponsoring them... also I would think they’ll use some drone footage they’ve already used but definitely way more content then we see on RUclips🙌🏻
So refreshing....returning to the basics of life. Congratulations .....your homestead will be a happy one...you have all the ingredients to make it happen. Hugs from afar Jill
My mom was a bit of a hippie and as a young child I was able to visit a couple “hippie” communes and this is exactly how they live. And they are very beautiful communities! Good luck on building however you imagine yours! Love watching this channel grow!
This is exactly like the hippie communes in the 60's. What happened back then was our society labeled them dirty hippies! I have seen signs back then no hippies allowed. It got all entangled in the no war protests and basically society stamped out the communes. I think life in the U.S. has become too stressful for even our children. Right now is a good example parents are freaked out the kids are missing school and they are cramming on computer courses and the kids are so stressed out! We have historic times going on what difference would it make if the children all graduated a year later than normal? Your way looks great, hard but great!
What a beautiful and inspiring life you are building! I am a thwarted hippie myself, and I absolutely love it! Great that you want to have kids don’t sit in front of screens all day. Keep on doing what you’re doing! God bless you. ☮️✌🏼❤️💕
I love you both. You're vibrating at such a high level. You're energy and productive output is wonderful to see. I'm glad you are able to see other cultures, walk away with the positive and apply it to your life. This is the spirit many immigrants take to the USA. I wait for every video with anticipation of nothing but good vibes. ♥️
Kevin Tumlinson I always get that feel from their videos whether it's just the two of them and the lovely animals or the two of them with their crew. Adding more humans like today just thickens the consistency of the love already present on Lola's Farm.
Folks that criticize this just don't understand what pure simplicity is.....I would LOVE to be an addition to Lola's farm. You 2 are the BEST. love from Texas
I don't know that I could add anything that has not already been said in the comments. I just love watching you to joyful people go about your lives in front of the camera. Love from Arizona
This is so cool! I almost cried when I saw all the people together. Your dream is becoming a reality! It is very amazing to get to watch it come to life!
Friends in Australia had a goat farm, one of the favourite "playground" items the goats enjoyed was an old VW Beetle shell as an adventure playground. In and out and climbing all over it.
That's cute. Mine lay for shade and play on spools. Huge kind that cable comes on. I saw a chicken coop made of a vw van one-time in Kentucky I was just passing through a small town.
I am an alumnus of intentional community - good on you folks for what you are trying to do. We need more models like this because they will be needed more and more. As system change encourages population decentralization. One of my community experiences from the late 1960's in Southern Oregon is still operating over 50 years later and is documented in 3 books (and I'm in all of them). Blessings on your journey - and remember, you are not in it alone!
I’ve been wanting to do this for over 10 years and my family thinks I’m absolutely insane. If you’ve never experienced it, you have no idea how amazing it is. There is nothing better than being surrounded by nature and all the people you hold dear. Making and building things with your own hands. There’s just nothing like it!!
This was beautifully filmed... so full of joy. I am out here approaching 80 remembering such moments of great joy and the close communities I have known in my life... You need some elders on your land... That would make it indeed perfect.
This, what you are doing, is a game changer. This is what our world needs. Community. Real community. Oh my goodness. Not everyone will get it. That's okay. Stay the course. We need people like you.
Wow. I’ve been watching for just a couple of months and it just seemed so hard- what you were doing. All the mud and the rain. And it all came together for me today watching this episode. You’ve built a community and I feel the joy you have in its creation. So happy for you.
Check out Justin Rhodes regarding rotating the land area that goats graze on and changing the area chickens scratch on to prepare areas for gardening and reducing parasite density.
You guys will be such great parents. I cannot wait until we feel it is safe for us to travel and move into our place there in town. We so want to hug people again. God bless all of you.
I really enjoy watching your videos..Cannot wait for the next ones.So glad you helped my fellow South Africans..Give them hugs from Cape Town South Africa. You are the cutest couple ever..xx
Live your dream! Tell your friends back home, that your special Christmas Koolaid is in the mail. LOL! No expectations when you started, friends gravitate to like minded or comforting places...that's Lola's Farm. Rodrigo is doing his own thing, on land you gave him...I'm sure the others are as well. It's a Familial Community you've started. And Heck if I were 30 yrs younger, (knowing all I know now) I'd be right there too. Enjoy - and Bad Mom's Christmas was a funny Vid. ❤Be well, Babies ( and chocolate cake NEVER breaks any diet)
Although my family grew up in the city, we spent many weekends at my grandparents farm up until I was about 10 years old when my grandmother past away (Grandpa had died many years before). They did not have running water so we used an outhouse and got our water from a well. They had chickens, horses, cows, goats etc. Almost everything they ate came from the land. The kids (4 of us) and many cousins, had free roam of the land and it is my most memorable times of my childhood. We were fearless. You both have the right idea and do not let others get into your head! Keep on following your dreams!!
This is pretty much exactly what I'm working on achieving. 8 months ago I found an amazing 20 acres in Georgetown California, and couldn't believe I could aford it. I'm a hard working blue collar man, but this video of yours made me cry. It is so beautiful, to see it all coming together. I live alone, and all my friends are scattered all over the place, from Italy to Washington to Perris California and Costa Rica. So it's not often I get visitors, which is kinda sad. But I have hope, ideas, love, and a whole lot of will power. Thank you two, and everyone who supports these "crazy hippy kids". You're not alone by the way, my brother thyinks I'm "bat shit crazy" for following my dreams. Lol! And that's ok with me. Sending love and light
Witches say: everything you give away comes back three fold. Good or bad. You all are a great example of the good. FRAMILY BUILDING at ITS FINEST!! viva sus familia!!
Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that you mete with it shall be measured to you again. Luke 6:38
In that case, how come everything I've ever lent to folk, they've never returned it! One person 'borrowed' my grass rake, just for a couple of hours.....12 years later, I'm still waiting for her to return it! 😂 (I moved to an apartment with no garden, but that ain't the point is it)? God knows how many books, records, clothes, tools etc, I've lost over the years. I don't lend anything to anyone any more! Love from England.😙
You are visionaries who are manifesting a new way of relating to all life, everywhere. Don't let anyone turn you away from your dreams! HUMANITY and this beautiful planet needs you! Thank you!
Offering sanctuary to the South African family is literally a life saving gesture of kindness. People around the world have no idea about the situation they come from.
@Lynn Roberts Sandra Westley why you people are such believers of such tosh just amazes me, especially if your from USA where 300,000 deaths, just what dream land do you live in.
@@robwestley7370 Yeah agreed. In one of our states we elected a new representative. He died of covid within one week. The poor man literally lasted one week in office. It's so grim these days in the US.
@@robwestley7370 My comment has nothing whatsoever to do with Covid deaths (inflated as they are). It does have everything to do with the torture and murder of countless South African farmers and their families.
I'm not sure why? But.... This video made me cry... A beautiful, joyful cry. Thank you guys. You will be wonderful parents. I am sure of this. Much Love. M
Aweeeeee I loveddddd this video!!! I really want to live like that one day and this brings me so much joy to watch it and just wow you guys are sooo amazing.
Jordan & Kayley, Congratulations! You’ve made it through the beginning of your new life& now you’re entering the middle of this journey. Anything is possible! You’ve got the tools & I’m not just referring to the hardware. Breathe in the joy & breathe through the hardships. BTW anyone can manage their child’s screen time anywhere. I’ve taught parents to do so. Be conscious that your lives also include screen time for your livelihood & pleasure. Our entire world relies on people relying on screen time. It’s very challenging today to live w/o it.
I NOW can see your community coming together and can feel the love! A joy to watch! Gotta say, love your coffee. You’ve introduced me to something other than just the usual Starbucks.
Today I got my first view of your future community....and I think I want this to happen as much as you do.....so nice to see. I'm 60yo and I've fallen in love with your channel....admittedly, at first I thought, naive kids fighting the world around them but slowly but surely, I've come to believe in your dream and ....weird, maybe but can't help feeling proud of your accomplishments...you kinda my social grandkids now.....wink.
Really enjoying the development of the property. The sight of all the people working together, and the kids playing was just so wonderful to see. With so much craziness in the world, it is so refreshing to see the evolution of this community.
It will be interesting to see how things play out as you build your community when some people are more or less ambitious than others. How will the expectations and responsibilities go. The plan sounds gr8 . . . but not necessarily new. Good luck.
I did spend time on/in a communal farm/community back in the day and it was pretty much a copy of what you are creating. A community who lives and works together in harmony and peace. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Peace from Angry Old Hippie Hermit at Old HIppieland.
Hello you guys! After watching you for a few months on my TV app, I decided to get on my computer so I could write you. I am so glad I found your channel, you guys bring a smile to my face each episode! I am inspired to travel after watching you two. I am also living my best life as a beekeeper. I rescue bees for my living, and love everyday! Consider getting bees, they will fill you with joy and happiness, if you have any space for more, lol. Anyway, hugs....... Dennis the Bee Guy
LOL They will find that out after they get tired of building more and fence to keep them in. To stop this one from escaping we had to tie a rope around its neck, tied to a 2x4 so it was always stumbling, but he still would get out.
With my goats we tie something that looks like a sling shot frame, only the handle part is longer, to below their neck. It stops them from getting their head low enough to get under a fence. But keep trying.
@Eric Ferguson The consolation is that they can be hilarious, especially if you don’t have too many. If you treat them often especially giving them part of your lunch like when you are out repairing fences (not quite “Desparado” but you get the picture), they will follow you everywhere. When you head back to the barn the way they run is so funny. I drove around my property in a Kawasaki Mule and they were always wherever I was working. They got in the Mule at lunch break and would eat your whole lunch if you weren’t careful. At night had to make sure to put them up in the barn or the coyotes might get them.

I was a hippy in the 70's, and lived in a couple of groups that were labled communs. We didn't want or need lables.

Watching you and Kalie pay it forward the last year is such a beautiful thing. Nearly every time I watch your channel you move me to happy tears, which I am grateful. Peace out
I freaking love what you guys are doing, Good luck to you and all of your friends. God i wish my my wife and I were still young, Please give Lolla and Roger a big pat. We love you!
South African here.
You guys are wonderfull. Been watching you from the beginning of this journey. Truly inspiring.
Watching this video ... And all that y'all are accomplishing there, well, it brought me such JOY!! Thank you for starting my day with much JOY & Happiness!! God bless you & all that you!!!
I am happy for you. Family, friends, community mean a lot. Many hands make light the work. Everyone works as a team. Always share what you have. You can never go wrong.
Its called "Getting back to the basics"! I am jealous
What an adventure you two are on. Such pure and generous hearts. There will always be naysayers. Some of it, I think, comes from fear and even envy. The rest of us cheer you on and live vicariously through you.
I quit drinking at the beginning of quarantine, and you guys present such a positive happy lifestyle that I think I'm going to quit smoking the marijuanas and try to make my life the same. Thanks from Wisconsin!
It takes a community and that’s what you have working together to live in peace and harmony. All skills will provide and others will learn skills from the community. No one will ever go hungry or be homeless. Thank you for providing the community the land to grow and enrich their lives. Your an amazing family 💯💜💯💜💯💜💯💜💯💜
I AM 70 AND LONG TO GET OUT OF SOCIETY, BLESS U ALL, MAY THE SOURCE BE WITH U ALL , SMILE

@@jacqulinejackson4822 please go to vancity vanlife and watch" solo female surviving hard times by finding safety " and realize there is always a way out. Many women have found freedom in ways you can emulate.
Having those little ones around can only make it sooner than later to have your own running around. I loved how all the adults interacted with them. There was no "go away, we are busy" you stopped & gave them your time.. They won't remember the fence going up but will remember you playing with them. Love from Australia 🇦🇺🐨❤️☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄❤️🐨🇦🇺
Your dreams are all coming together. You all are so happy. I’m so glad for you guys. This s going to be a very different and special Christmas! 🤗😘🌼🇻🇪🎄
You guys are the most generous, kind people. I lived in the hippie days & believe me your not hippies. I don't why they would call you a cult none of us would be watching your videos your just so so kind & generous, I am sorry to say most people would not understand that kind of generous living. GOD BLESS YOU BIG
By far the most interesting "Vanlife /Living the Dream" You Tubers. I have been following since the very early days and I have to say your commentary, camera and editing skills are top shelf. There is a lot of power in giving it away to keep it. Keep on trudging!
So happy to see your face radiant and glowing when your friends came. So nice to have such helping friends around us
We're so happy for you both :) I can't wait to try the coffee! Thanks for being you. E
Lovely family!!! I have the privilege of calling Careen and her family my friends. Mis them so much and so happy to see them living their dream with you guys. I will come and visit.... One day.....
Hola, from our home here in Ville Escondido in beautiful Boquete, Panama, another lovely morning. We can now understand why you love it so much. We are so impressed by what you guys have accomplished. We would love to meet you guys if that could be arranged, please let us know. Dan & Val
Lola walking right next to the little boy is just the cutest 🤗. Yes, I love little communities like the one you’re creating! To have the support of others you fully trust, being able to share the work, raise the kids together, being able to go places and not worry about the animals left at home, your home itself being safe and cared for.........🥰
That day was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. 😘❤️🎄
Me too!
You are us in 1971. Drove down to Costa Rica from SF. Long story but, ya gotta know we're in our late 70's now, and we're CHEERING YOU ON!
Great video guys, you have such wonderful friends because you're wonderful people 💖
Cracking up at the chaos going on behind Kaylee...the 2 doggies play wrestling!! I don't think you are crazy at all for what you are doing. It's a beautiful farming community of people working the land and taking care of their families. I hope for every negative comment/message you receive, that you receive 100 positive ones. You are a blessing and you will be blessed. He is pleased. Keep the communication lines open, set the expectations, and deal with the issues as they arise. Peace and blessings....
After all this shizz going on in this world, I've had the most stressful 4 yrs of so much division and breaking it off with a few friends due to our differences. I can't wait to get my van and travel and see the world. Just watching your videos makes me have faith in humanity and I know there are many people out there feeling the same way. You all are living your best life, and we enjoy living vicariously through yours. Love the animals!
FLA GAL I so agree with you! I also live in FL and I am building my van little by little. Watch Bob Wells, he is full of good ideas. I will eventually start a Caravan club on Meet Up. Maybe we will meet there.good luck to you.
You are doing a great thing trying to create a community of like minded productive people. Over 30 years ago we moved out into the country near other friends who did the same thing. We each had and developed 5 acre parcels. We raised 7 children in this country community along with 6 other families. Our kids grew up on very little TV and no video games, but learned how to build and fix and enjoy projects. They all learned music and mechanics, and carpentry and gardening, etc. They are all grown now and are now raising their own families in a similar fashion. They all have the belief that they can accomplish anything they put their efforts and minds to do. Now we are enjoying watching our 13 grandkids, (so far) becoming talented and productive people. We have no regrets how we raised our country kids around other country kids and families. Watching your videos brings back so many fond memories. Keep up the great goals you are pursuing. Our community is located in the Antelope Valley of Southern Calif. Where we live does not feel like California , because we are surrounded by productive like minded people who love to work and create.
Just wonderful, inspiring. And for us old folks what a blessing that would be to keep us from isolation. ❤️❤️
It's a gorgeous TRIBE of like minded hard working people who are benefitiing from your beautiful generously! Proud to be a tribe member from afar!❤ love love you guys!❤❤❤❤❤
nothing wrong with communal life, I lived the same in Jamaica for 5 years was wonderful
Wonderful community. Do not forget to have some time just for the two of you. You are not crazy! You are just finding ways to fill your lives with respectful living. So awesome.
Sign me up!! I think what you guys are doing is simply getting off the “cult” train of materialism and greed, getting back to living life abundantly not excessively❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
This is community as it should be. This is the type of relationship that I tried to encourage my kids to develop as well. Over the years my children have gathered friends who become brothers and sisters and they are all my kids now. They help each other where they can, taking care of each other's animals, helping each other with things that they need done, feeding each other, staying at each other's houses, and just in general fellowshipping and enjoying each other. Acquaintances become friends, friends become family, and family stays together no matter how far apart they are. My late wife and I enjoyed this type of fellowship with our friends as well and love seeing it happen elsewhere. One day I would like to come visit your growing family.
That is really uplifting. Best wishes and good luck in your endeavors. You have some nice people there. Cute kids.
I think you, young men and women on your channel are the wisest I've encountered thus far. And I have lived 65 years. I would join you in a heartbeat if not for my more than 14 grandchildren and great-grandchildren here in California. I watch everything you put up and I am never let down. You all are very entertaining. Rock On !!! :)
Thank you for sharing your excitement and progress. You both show that money is not what makes you rich.
After seeing the amazing people you are surrounding yourselves with, how can anyone see this as anything but amazing! I am so happy for all of you! Dream it and watch it come to you!
What you're creating is Amazing! Sending much love💞
Awwww... Jordan running around with the kid on the truck. Melted my heart...... 😊 my middle son is also named Jordan. Beautiful name. Love from England 💞
This video makes me so excited for the documentary
Please clue me in, what documentary? I'm a fan of NM, but watch their videos sporadically.
@@hd-xc2lz they’re working on a documentary of their journey to Panama and so on as they go. I don’t think it’ll be ready within the next year tho... every now and then they mention new kit they kit for a documentary, just listen for anything along those lines👏🏻🙆🏼♂️
@@damianwadsworth7603 Thanks for the reply. Will it be something other than a re-edit of their available youtube video material? Are they working with a third party, or is it auto-bio?
@@damianwadsworth7603 They're both very driven to complete their project as originally laid out. I wonder if the prospect of the documentary, even if never made, helps to stiffen their spines toward completion of the project, taking no shortcuts? Very impressive how far they've come considering how little experience/know-how they had in building trades. And witnessing their humility and never-give-up attitude rewarded is what makes them a good watch.
@@hd-xc2lz well yeah I assume that’s what the documentary will be like but with more of a base line story to it. No I don’t think any third party’s are involved besides maybe go pro sponsoring them...
also I would think they’ll use some drone footage they’ve already used but definitely way more content then we see on RUclips🙌🏻
So refreshing....returning to the basics of life. Congratulations .....your homestead will be a happy one...you have all the ingredients to make it happen.
Hugs from afar

Actually it’s exactly like a hippie commune and there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s a beautiful thing!
My mom was a bit of a hippie and as a young child I was able to visit a couple “hippie” communes and this is exactly how they live.
And they are very beautiful communities!
Good luck on building however you imagine yours! Love watching this channel grow!
This is exactly like the hippie communes in the 60's. What happened back then was our society labeled them dirty hippies! I have seen signs back then no hippies allowed. It got all entangled in the no war protests and basically society stamped out the communes. I think life in the U.S. has become too stressful for even our children. Right now is a good example parents are freaked out the kids are missing school and they are cramming on computer courses and the kids are so stressed out! We have historic times going on what difference would it make if the children all graduated a year later than normal? Your way looks great, hard but great!
What a beautiful and inspiring life you are building! I am a thwarted hippie myself, and I absolutely love it! Great that you want to have kids don’t sit in front of screens all day. Keep on doing what you’re doing! God bless you. ☮️✌🏼❤️💕
Love the Lola’s Farm shirt Jordan! If you guys sell those I will gladly buy one!!
I love you both. You're vibrating at such a high level. You're energy and productive output is wonderful to see. I'm glad you are able to see other cultures, walk away with the positive and apply it to your life. This is the spirit many immigrants take to the USA. I wait for every video with anticipation of nothing but good vibes. ♥️
You can just feel the shift in energy in this video. Such a different feel from previous videos. Adding more humans makes a huge difference.
Kevin Tumlinson I always get that feel from their videos whether it's just the two of them and the lovely animals or the two of them with their crew. Adding more humans like today just thickens the consistency of the love already present on Lola's Farm.
The joy I get from watching your life and the way you live so freely is just amazing. I always find myself smiling from ear to ear!
You all make a family. It’s a good life. 🌺
Folks that criticize this just don't understand what pure simplicity is.....I would LOVE to be an addition to Lola's farm. You 2 are the BEST. love from Texas
So amazing. So free. So rewarding. One suggestion - I think that you will need some verticals to keep them inside the fence.
I don't know that I could add anything that has not already been said in the comments. I just love watching you to joyful people go about your lives in front of the camera. Love from Arizona
Just look at what you've created guys! Incredible!
This is so cool! I almost cried when I saw all the people together. Your dream is becoming a reality! It is very amazing to get to watch it come to life!
Friends in Australia had a goat farm, one of the favourite "playground" items the goats enjoyed was an old VW Beetle shell as an adventure playground. In and out and climbing all over it.
That's cute. Mine lay for shade and play on spools. Huge kind that cable comes on. I saw a chicken coop made of a vw van one-time in Kentucky I was just passing through a small town.
J&K should build a playground structure for the goats using scrap. Maybe duel purpose like holding feed or a storage bin for goat things.
I am an alumnus of intentional community - good on you folks for what you are trying to do. We need more models like this because they will be needed more and more. As system change encourages population decentralization. One of my community experiences from the late 1960's in Southern Oregon is still operating over 50 years later and is documented in 3 books (and I'm in all of them). Blessings on your journey - and remember, you are not in it alone!
I love all the vids. I woke up to a buzz on my phone and tada... It was y'all. Sending love from me and the goddess chihuahua named Kali. Peace
I’ve been wanting to do this for over 10 years and my family thinks I’m absolutely insane. If you’ve never experienced it, you have no idea how amazing it is. There is nothing better than being surrounded by nature and all the people you hold dear. Making and building things with your own hands. There’s just nothing like it!!
This was beautifully filmed... so full of joy. I am out here approaching 80 remembering such moments of great joy and the close communities I have known in my life... You need some elders on your land... That would make it indeed perfect.
I agree. I’m in my 60s. 😊
This, what you are doing, is a game changer. This is what our world needs. Community. Real community. Oh my goodness. Not everyone will get it. That's okay. Stay the course. We need people like you.
I am so happy for you all. I am living my dream through you.
Wow. I’ve been watching for just a couple of months and it just seemed so hard- what you were doing. All the mud and the rain. And it all came together for me today watching this episode. You’ve built a community and I feel the joy you have in its creation. So happy for you.
Check out Justin Rhodes regarding rotating the land area that goats graze on and changing the area chickens scratch on to prepare areas for gardening and reducing parasite density.
You guys will be such great parents. I cannot wait until we feel it is safe for us to travel and move into our place there in town. We so want to hug people again. God bless all of you.
Love starting my mornings with you guys thanks for the amazing content
I really enjoy watching your videos..Cannot wait for the next ones.So glad you helped my fellow South Africans..Give them hugs from Cape Town South Africa. You are the cutest couple ever..xx
Live your dream! Tell your friends back home, that your special Christmas Koolaid is in the mail. LOL! No expectations when you started, friends gravitate to like minded or comforting places...that's Lola's Farm. Rodrigo is doing his own thing, on land you gave him...I'm sure the others are as well. It's a Familial Community you've started. And Heck if I were 30 yrs younger, (knowing all I know now) I'd be right there too. Enjoy - and Bad Mom's Christmas was a funny Vid. ❤Be well, Babies ( and chocolate cake NEVER breaks any diet)
Although my family grew up in the city, we spent many weekends at my grandparents farm up until I was about 10 years old when my grandmother past away (Grandpa had died many years before). They did not have running water so we used an outhouse and got our water from a well. They had chickens, horses, cows, goats etc. Almost everything they ate came from the land. The kids (4 of us) and many cousins, had free roam of the land and it is my most memorable times of my childhood. We were fearless. You both have the right idea and do not let others get into your head! Keep on following your dreams!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY JOY TO EVERONE AND ALL ANIMALS ON LOLAS FARM!!!!!
This is pretty much exactly what I'm working on achieving. 8 months ago I found an amazing 20 acres in Georgetown California, and couldn't believe I could aford it.
I'm a hard working blue collar man, but this video of yours made me cry. It is so beautiful, to see it all coming together.
I live alone, and all my friends are scattered all over the place, from Italy to Washington to Perris California and Costa Rica. So it's not often I get visitors, which is kinda sad. But I have hope, ideas, love, and a whole lot of will power.
Thank you two, and everyone who supports these "crazy hippy kids". You're not alone by the way, my brother thyinks I'm "bat shit crazy" for following my dreams. Lol! And that's ok with me.
Sending love and light
Witches say: everything you give away comes back three fold. Good or bad. You all are a great example of the good. FRAMILY BUILDING at ITS FINEST!! viva sus familia!!
Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that you mete with it shall be measured to you again. Luke 6:38
Amen!! God bless you!
In that case, how come everything I've ever lent to folk, they've never returned it! One person 'borrowed' my grass rake, just for a couple of hours.....12 years later, I'm still waiting for her to return it! 😂 (I moved to an apartment with no garden, but that ain't the point is it)? God knows how many books, records, clothes, tools etc, I've lost over the years. I don't lend anything to anyone any more! Love from England.😙
Blessed be, friend 💗
You are visionaries who are manifesting a new way of relating to all life, everywhere. Don't let anyone turn you away from your dreams! HUMANITY and this beautiful planet needs you! Thank you!
Offering sanctuary to the South African family is literally a life saving gesture of kindness. People around the world have no idea about the situation they come from.
Panama says 'You're welcome!'
@Lynn Roberts Sandra Westley why you people are such believers of such tosh just amazes me, especially if your from USA where 300,000 deaths, just what dream land do you live in.
@@robwestley7370 Yeah agreed. In one of our states we elected a new representative. He died of covid within one week. The poor man literally lasted one week in office. It's so grim these days in the US.
@@robwestley7370 My comment has nothing whatsoever to do with Covid deaths (inflated as they are). It does have everything to do with the torture and murder of countless South African farmers and their families.
I'm not sure why? But.... This video made me cry... A beautiful, joyful cry. Thank you guys. You will be wonderful parents. I am sure of this. Much Love. M
Aweeeeee I loveddddd this video!!! I really want to live like that one day and this brings me so much joy to watch it and just wow you guys are sooo amazing.
Only one problem with the video. It was WAY too short!!
Jordan & Kayley, Congratulations! You’ve made it through the beginning of your new life& now you’re entering the middle of this journey. Anything is possible! You’ve got the tools & I’m not just referring to the hardware. Breathe in the joy & breathe through the hardships.
BTW anyone can manage their child’s screen time anywhere. I’ve taught parents to do so. Be conscious that your lives also include screen time for your livelihood & pleasure. Our entire world relies on people relying on screen time. It’s very challenging today to live w/o it.
Lola and Brian are so cute, I love how they play together.
I NOW can see your community coming together and can feel the love! A joy to watch! Gotta say, love your coffee. You’ve introduced me to something other than just the usual Starbucks.
What a wonderful way to start the day! ☺️
Today I got my first view of your future community....and I think I want this to happen as much as you do.....so nice to see. I'm 60yo and I've fallen in love with your channel....admittedly, at first I thought, naive kids fighting the world around them but slowly but surely, I've come to believe in your dream and ....weird, maybe but can't help feeling proud of your accomplishments...you kinda my social grandkids now.....wink.
"I don't want my kids staring at a screen" .....(next clip)....looking at a screen watching a Christmas movie - LOL Merry Christmas guys - good luck
Really enjoying the development of the property. The sight of all the people working together, and the kids playing was just so wonderful to see. With so much craziness in the world, it is so refreshing to see the evolution of this community.
VERY COOL!!!!!!!! Merry Christmas to all.
'A rose by any other name.' Who cares what others call it. Finding your bliss and sharing it is a beautiful thing! Your happiness is infectious!
It will be interesting to see how things play out as you build your community when some people are more or less ambitious than others. How will the expectations and responsibilities go. The plan sounds gr8 . . . but not necessarily new. Good luck.
I did spend time on/in a communal farm/community back in the day and it was pretty much a copy of what you are creating. A community who lives and works together in harmony and peace. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Peace from Angry Old Hippie Hermit at Old HIppieland.
Merry Christmas to all of you! Fast friends are hard to find
Hello you guys! After watching you for a few months on my TV app, I decided to get on my computer so I could write you. I am so glad I found your channel, you guys bring a smile to my face each episode! I am inspired to travel after watching you two. I am also living my best life as a beekeeper. I rescue bees for my living, and love everyday! Consider getting bees, they will fill you with joy and happiness, if you have any space for more, lol. Anyway, hugs....... Dennis the Bee Guy
You know goats are escape artists, right? good luck!
LOL They will find that out after they get tired of building more and fence to keep them in. To stop this one from escaping we had to tie a rope around its neck, tied to a 2x4 so it was always stumbling, but he still would get out.
With my goats we tie something that looks like a sling shot frame, only the handle part is longer, to below their neck. It stops them from getting their head low enough to get under a fence. But keep trying.
@Eric Ferguson The consolation is that they can be hilarious, especially if you don’t have too many. If you treat them often especially giving them part of your lunch like when you are out repairing fences (not quite “Desparado” but you get the picture), they will follow you everywhere. When you head back to the barn the way they run is so funny. I drove around my property in a Kawasaki Mule and they were always wherever I was working. They got in the Mule at lunch break and would eat your whole lunch if you weren’t careful. At night had to make sure to put them up in the barn or the coyotes might get them.
@Eric Ferguson Right. Funny though, when I picked blackberries they ate the bush leaves not the berries and mine loved oak leaves too.
Hi 🙋♀️ all. Lovely that everyone wants to help each and live a happy life. I am proud of you all; Lolas farm is increasing with the true meaning of loving 🥰 each other.💕🎄
