    This video has been a salve for my soul and the first time I didn't cry. I'm over the moon that you have found a place to call home and it's with this community. I don't know them but I love them, and it looks like Uma is flourishing there. Love you all and can't wait for the updates.

    So I was raised in Boone NC where I now raise my own children. Elliot my daddy killed a lot of the meat we ate. Squirrel rabbit deer 2 pigs a year and a snapping turtle once. My sister was three and I was 5 when they opened the snapping turtle she had eggs in her…. Well we wanted to save the “baby turtles”. We buried them in our sandbox. They unfortunately rotted and my daddy had to dig up our sandbox. We were taught life and it’s value even when consuming meat. We were both just to young to understand how that life cycle worked. I’m so grateful you both and Uma have gotten to experience these beautiful mountains. I pray your new home brings all of y’all as much joy as it has and continues to bring me and my family. I’m so grateful for all that is y’all’s journey and for you continuing to share it with us. And please tell Uma that Gracie said she is a beautiful princess in her white dress. ( she has now requested her own lol)

    Couldn't click fast enough! So nice to be with the Durts! The lessons you learnt on the farm apply to many people - if only they would listen to Nature's voice. Uma's white birthday dress was beautiful! She looked like a forest princess. Matthew, your hair looks cool - you look much younger. Your community. Your people. I am silently moving to your home (in soul)...I just want to see everything, and see you grow. A sibling for Uma would be a bounteous blessing.

    Elliott, I am so proud of you for giving up caffeine! That act is so “Counter Culture”, but your body will “Thank You”. Coffee forces the body to produce the hormone Adrenaline which over time for many people causes migraines, anxiety, digestive issues and other health problems. Adrenaline is a good thing we need, but not in large doses. I too quit coffee in 2020 as I was so addicted to the unhealthy substance. My sleep improved, my migraines disappeared and my digestion is soooo much better!

    I love watching your family and share so many of your values and ideas of the world. As someone who has been plant based most of my life because I could not stomach the thought animals should die so I can eat them at 5 years old the turtle scenes were jarring and not expected content. While I agree and appreciate the respect and reverence from people who do choose consume animals a little warning in the video description would have helped me and I imagine a few others from the comments. I agree that as a society and individuals if we are okay with the end result we must be okay with the process but it was difficult to watch and did make me feel sad for the individual animal. Again maybe just a little PSA in the description or beginning of the video might be better for some of your viewers. I sometimes watch your content with daughter who is 5 and has never eaten animals and those scenes would have been distressing for her. All the love and respect-Jessica

    Another beautiful video! I'm sad I missed the premiere. I know you're currently away from the farm, how much more travel do you plan on doing before you go back permanently? Have you seen all the places you wanted to see? I thought you had at least planned to see Central and South America and maybe some of Europe before you settled. I thought there was also another homestead you had already signed up to assist on. I'm glad you've already found the type of community you were searching for, for your family. I'm a little surprised you found it so quickly. I imagined you'd try out several types of communities/ homesteads, in different regions first, but if you feel at home there, I'm happy for you. I love Matt's new look! Also did I hear correctly, "expand your family" there on the farm?! How very exciting! I can't wait to see what the future holds for your family. 💛💛💛🫂🫂🫂

    Watching this back, one can see how much " bigger " Uma looks in these kids surtoundings, interactive with a community.
    I am proud of you witnessing mindfully the Killing of an animal. I find it extremely hurtful that most meateaters don't know anything about it and worse, don't want to learn more about species, slaughtering, hormones, cattle grazing pollution, etc.. As a conscious veggie or vegan it is one's duty to think and study about the survival of different species, the extinction of animals, the use of all of naturels ressources before consuming.
