I love the fact that your kitchen is separated from the living room. I hate open concept. If my kitchen is a mess I don’t want someone walking into my living room and seeing it. That and my kitchen is my area to get away to cook with no disturbances. So your area is gorgeous!
I am a real estate agent in Ventura California and your video brought tears to my eyes. So happy for you ... I know you have been in the new place for a while already and this is not "news" but this is what we live for: matching people to places where they feel happy, safe and secure. So wonderful and so happy to re-live the purchase of your new home with you. It is lovely and you will just make it better and better by it being yours. Congratulations and thank you for the addicting videos that I watch at all hours of the day and night because I always learn something! PS: Your "powder room" LOL is a FULL BATH!!! Score! PS: Your "half bath" off the bonus room is also a FULL BATH!!! LOL your bathrooms are all full baths ... (FYI when you have a toilet, sink AND a shower and/or bath - it's a FULL. Powder aka "half bath" is a sink/toilet. All 3 is a "full"). You scored again!
Becky, I’m so excited for you and proud of you and Josh! Hopes and dreams come true 😍😍😍. It’s a beautiful property and I can’t wait to see all that you do with it. And yes, love the dream canning kitchen idea!
As a “wood shop wife”, I’d use that cottage for canning. The garage has the capacity to load large sheets of wood and large tools. You need as much space as possible for wood projects. Just to rip a sheet of plywood down, you need a full sheet of space on both sides! How FUN! Again I’m so excited for you both!
Yes! Canning outside of the house is great to keep from overheating your house! It's also easier to organize your canning all in one place without having to stash it all away in cupboards and drawers every time you finish canning and need to make dinner!
I agree. Also the cottage would make a great "summer kitchen" for those things you need to do in the summer months like canning that you don't want to heat up the main house. I bake a lot of bread, would put an oven out there for that purpose too.
I'm continuing to watch this video and I just can't help myself. I've got to include another comment. This home and it's property would be a dream come true for many families. I realize it's been 2y....but CONGRATULATIONS to you and Josh!!! You guy's are obviously doing something right to receive such a wonderful blessing. The Lord is great! 🎉❤
Having worked in construction, I can tell you it's a lot easier to save the baseboards until after the carpet is removed, walls painted, new floor installed. In that order. Beautiful blank canvas. I'm so excited for you.
Girl why am I sitting here crying like it’s my family getting their new dream home?!? Lol because I love you and I appreciate you and you so deserve this. You work so hard and you’re such an inspiration. This house is absolutely gorgeous and the view is breathtaking…. Soo happy for you and Josh!!!
Hi Becky. This is exciting news. One thing I want to point out is you most likely have a septic tank and they require a drain "field" so before you plant anything or build anything find out where the septic and drain field are because there are restrictions on putting anything in those areas. Get a copy of your property description from the county you're in with a drawing where your septic is and ask about drain field restrictions. It will save you a big headache. Cheers and congrats!
I knew that tiny little acre homestead couldn’t contain you for long. You’re an absolute powerhouse with your gardening, cooking and preserving to name a few. Congratulations on your new home. It looks beautiful!! Well deserved Becky and Josh! Well deserved.
I hope the new owners are watching your video. It's always nice to know that a home you loved for so long is going to someone who is equally excited about it.
Congratulations on your dream house. I'm 76 and always dreamed of something like that. I'm a fairly new subscriber and admire all the work you do. I'm convinced that you and Josh will be making a beautiful place for your future. Thanks for inviting us in your home, I will continue to dream, but too old to move anywhere now.
How kind of you. Obviously you’re a loving person to be happy for someone who has more than you when you know where you are in your life. I wish all people would be so generous, they would be much happier.
We are 65 and 68 and will move in the next year, but yes, I hear you. I’m glad we’re doing it now and not waiting. I’ve had to convince my husband of this, that we’re not going to want to move in ten years. If we have ANY desire to move , we need to do it ASAP.
Becky, how is it possible to be so happy & excited for someone you’ve never met?!? That has to blow your mind to have such an outpouring of love towards you. But it’s because of you being so genuine & so relatable. You deserve a beautiful homestead like this one & I can’t wait to see all the changes you & Josh do to make this uniquely yours. What an amazing blessing! So incredibly happy for you! Keep being you! Oh and I vote for the canning kitchen ;) Now instead of Acre Homestead you can be “Homestead with a View”!
Hey, just wanted to let you know that there's a device called a Solar Pathfinder that you can buy, set up anywhere on a piece of property, and it'll show you what the projected sun pattern will be for that spot for the entire year based off trees, slope, ect. It's mostly used when installing solar panels to track how much sun/shade an area gets. Worth looking into
Not only does this property fit your needs perfectly, it was a blessing to the sellers as well! They found buyers who would cherish the home as much as they did... So happy for you, You are an amazing, hard-working homesteader! Best wishes....
Becky! It's amazing! Consider..... A kitchen couch! My grandma had a beautiful couch that I was going to put downstairs when she passed, but it didn't fit 😂. So we put it in the kitchen temporarily, and realized it's the literal best part of our entire house. We can snuggle on it, watch sunsets, relax when there is something to keep an eye on in the kitchen, and curl up on with a snack. Not to mention the ability for your guests or partner to be so comfy and hang out with you while you cook. Whatever you do will be perfect though, I can't wait to see it!
I have never been so happy for a non-family member getting a house as I am y'all!! I'm tearing up watching this!! You are SO genuine in everything you show us. Congratulations on your new home 🏡!!
Hello becky! I’ve got a suggestion for your vegetable garden, since you plan to regrade your property you’ll have lots and lots of earth to redistribute, so you could do tall raised beds! You could make them hip height so you don’t have to crouch down to weed and harvest your crop. That way the soil that your plants are growing in are going to be elevated with the sun hitting them all day so the soil is warmer and your growing season is longer. I’ve had raised beds like this and it’s really been amazing having everything at eye level without needing to bend over to inspect my plants! I’m so very exited for this new chapter in your life! And jealous for all the planning that you’ll need to do for your garden!
I am absolutely thrilled for you, Becky!!! It really is the perfect home for the two of you, and for all your projects. My instinct is that Josh’s shop should be in the garage room and you should get that canning kitchen. If at a later point you wanna buy a boat, you can change things around - it won’t be impossible. And that amount of space for his shop will be awesome for him, too. (PS In Armenian, we have this notion of good jealousy and naughty jealous; good jealousy is when you are happy for the other person and you’d like to have the same for yourself… And that’s how I feel about your berry garden!)
@@AcreHomestead By the way, I forgot to mention two RUclipsrs you may will already watch. One is Liz Zorab at Byther Farm, and the other is Brian at Next Level Gardening. (He also has a homesteading channel.) Both of them have made moves to quite large properties in the past year or two, and while neither of their gardens will be like yours, listening to them talk about how their thought processes and how they made decisions and all of that might be good fun for you to watch and listen to.
What a beautiful property The previous owner did a great job of protecting everything You two are beyond lucky to have this at such a young age! I’m a new subscriber and I’m very excited to see what you do with this paradise
Way cool! Congratulations🎉 A recommendation I heard from another RUclipsr who bought a farm with a house that needed renovation - live in the place for a year before you do any major changes or renovations. Things that seem like a great idea can be nulled by a factor you are unaware of or can't foresee right now. It could be a location that floods when it rains, or a room that doesn't get light that you need for projects. You will also settle into a routine and naturally realize what suits you best for how to organize the space. This will help prevent any financial disasters that could have been avoided.
WOW! What a stunning property! I'm guessing the owners sold to you before it hit the market because they knew you were the perfect people for this place! I just found you through Epic Gardening, so i'm looking forward to seeing your progress over this year! Congratulations on such a beautiful future!
OMG! This is so amazing for you guys! I've been watching for years and it's so awesome to see you grow in every apsect of your life. From the start of the channel to RUclips becoming your fulltime job and now this! I'm very happy for you both. Sending lots of love and blessings to your new home
I was going to type the exact thing that Becca did. Congratulations to you!!! I’m so happy to see your dreams coming true, and I can’t wait to follow along as you make this new place your own.
What a wonderful surprise! May this house bring joy, peace and comfort to your heart. Oh, the meals, the garden and making it your own! What an adventure. CONGRATULATIONS!🎉🥳
For your greenhouse maybe consider digging out at the lower part of the slope and putting the greenhouse in ground partway. The warmth from being in ground could be very helpful and being dug in wont impact your view nearly as much.
Becky this is AMAZING! I think give Josh the big garage space for his shop and you take the other space for your canning kitchen. If you ever wanted to get a boat, you could just winterize it. I can't wait to see you two grow into this home together. So excited for the adventures!
You might want consider putting tile or granite on the “appliance” shelf in your new pantry so is heat resistant. Your house is gorgeous! Really love the sun room and the beautiful outdoor landscaping.
Becky this home is a beautiful blessing. "If your gifted a handful of seeds, God will bless you with the ground to grow them in". And I defiantly believe that God has bless you with all this beautiful land and gardens to allow you to grow there. Many blessings from our homestead to yours.
I've been trying for a couple years to get my daughters into canning and such but it never worked. Then 1 of them watched 1 of your videos and now she loves watching you and is canning and preserving thank you for being such a wholesome good hearted person
I came across your channel by just browsing. I must say that you can "cook". And an excellent multitasker. And you are so authentic and very smart.Just live your energy. And do you get any rest at all. You are just like the energizer Bunny".? Looking forward to seeing you cook the fruit if your labor".?
I am moved to tears. I am so happy for you. I remember as if yesterday when we bought our little farm. My husband and I and our 4 children were so happy there. I lost my husband of 52 years suddenly from cancer in 2013. So I am sure you will understand how very much I am looking forward to following your journey together in this forever home. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Blessings from North Bay Ontario.:)
LOVE YOUR HOUSE!!!! I would definitely make the woodshop in the garage! That way he can store wood outside, work on BIG or small projects and have TONS of storage for those bulkier tools. Then having that smaller space for canning would be great because it LOOKS like it is off the backyard which would help for carrying in the harvest!
You have the opportunity to put in a second laundry?? We would love that! Being able to separate the really grungy farm work clothes and the dog bedding from the regular washer is a dream of mine!
First of all way to go on giving God all the glory for your blessings! 🙌🏻 Girl this house is a dream and whoever built this house put some thought and love into it because it has everything! Love allll the storage, shelves, space, natural light..I mean come on! 😍 congratulations so happy for y’all, thanks for sharing! 💚🌱
Becky… I find myself sitting here with sore cheeks, As I smile with joy for you and Josh! I find myself so very proud for you both! Thank you so much for allowing us to live vicariously through your videos! I’m simply over the moon for you all! 🥰🇨🇦
This property was 100 % a God thing! All the interesting things about it seem to be perfect for your needs. The orchard was like 50 cherries on top of this beautiful place. It will be lovely to see you guys branch out into more homestead life at this place.
Wow, that is quite a sprawling house! At the beginning I was disappointed at that black wall blocking the view from the foyer. I was overjoyed to learn that you, too, realized that it had to go! I like your idea of the canning room in addition to your kitchen. You and Joshua are very fortunate to have acquired such a lovely home and all that land with its current gardens and orchard.❤
I love the idea of a separate canning kitchen, especially to help keep the heat that is generated, and the mess, away from the main part of the house. Congratulations on your new home!
I think the room would make an awesome canning kitchen and the RV garage would make an awesome workshop for Josh. It is right off where his tractor is parked and looks like a nice little shed there where he could store lumber and such. Congratulations on your new home. Can’t wait to see all the changes you are going to make.
Also, in your laundry room, where the cabinets are, if you can put the cabinets on the floor, put a cabinet shelf on top for a folding table. On the wall above, put a closet rod across the top for hanging laundry as you take it out of the dryer n
Having that workshop space as your canning kitchen sounds perfect, leaving the machines out all the time no need to find cupboard space for them in your kitchen or basement is such a luxury that you 100% deserve, also makes complete sense since it is so close to your garden. Great that your husband will have areas of his own even if you take the workshop next to the garden
Your home and the property is amazing what a wonderful place to raise your family! When ever you get settled and since you have hazelnut trees Bake some hazelnuts in a loaf of homemade bread for your chicken salad So good. May God bless your family in your beautiful new home and bring you many happy years !❤🙏❤
Congratulations! Very happy for you and Josh on the new spread. Idea: Maybe consider embedded raised garden beds for the new garden terracing. Easier to do... you may even be able to do it yourself, lower cost, and you can start using them as you go. Also, less bending over to plant and work --- make the natural incline of the hill work for you!
As a shop girl, I vote have the shop in the extra bay of garage. Makes fixing stuff and doing projects soooo much easier and more enjoyable when the tools and shop are close.
and makes it much easier to load in materials directly from the truck/trailer - as well as move the finished product to different areas of the property..
I had my own theories about "The Big Thing" you've been hinting about, but I never thought it could be a new house! Congratulations, good luck with the renovations and I hope your new home will bring you and Josh happiness and peace!
I am curious if they plan to grow their family, although it truly isn't any of my business. I am happy for their new start at a new property. I cannot wait to see how they use the new garden space!
Who knows? As Kallie says, not my business...but something Becky said in the next video, the first demo day, has me kinda wondering if there will be another "Big Thing" soon.
Oh my goodness I was just smiling ear to ear the whole video! I am so so happy for y’all- what a BEAUTIFUL home!!! I 100% agree with you about the open concept kitchen/living. It has its benefits, but my husband and I BOTH agree that our next house will have the ability to close the kitchen off. Whether it be for noise reasons (can’t hear the TV over the dishes being washed), or a mes/sink full of dishes, it’s so nice to be able to close a door! Blessings to you!! So excited to see how you both grow this home!!
These people whom built this house put their detailed thoughts when they designed it. It’s absolutely beautiful. You two work hard and totally deserve this. Congrats to Becky and Josh. Such a wonderful news 💕
Definitely plant fruit trees as soon as possible. They will grow fine on a sloop. Just make use they are far enough apart that a riding lawn mower will easily fit between them
I wish I was able to attach a photo or video because I can 100% relate to the loudness of drums. Both my son (who is also in a band) and my husband both play the drums. Our 4th bedroom is a music room. We have two full drum kits, four electric guitars and five amps. My son also writes and records music for his band, as well as for other bands, so we also have computers and recording equipment in that room as well.
Becky, this is AMAZING!!! It truly is a DREAM Homestead! And that view is breathtaking. I'm so happy and excited for you both. This couldn't have happened to a nicer or more deserving couple. I'd bet the Lord secretly guided some of the original owners' decisions when they were building it, knowing that He wanted you and Josh to have it down the road. With all the doom and gloom going on in the world right now, seeing someone realize such a precious, beautiful blessing as this, is so encouraging. All the best to you both and I greatly look forward to following all the future videos as you make this new place your own. God bless!
Becky--it was like watching you open Christmas presents under the tree!! How wonderful for you and Josh to have your well-deserved forever home. I can't wait for our journey together as you make this place your own. And I am excited to see how your "girls" move into their new home! Hugs and blessings.
Becki, when you and Josh start settling into your new home, think future. If you use the building away from the house for canning you will have to go from the house to there in rain, wind and possibly have to take one or more small children with you. I am 74 and look back now thinking about what would be easier today if I would have a made certain changes in our home years ago. If it's your forever home think long term. Love you and your life style. Prayers will be said for your new journey. Pat
Becky & Josh! What an absolute stunner of a property! The depth of your knowledge will only increase the abundance that man left for you on his land. Thrilled to see all of your diligence has lead you here and excited to see where it takes you in the future! Congrats!!! So happy for you!
Oh my goodness thank you so very much! We are so excited! I have watch your family for years. Way before Callie was born. I’m so excited for your homestead too! It’s been so fun watching your dreams unfold there!
You did it! So grateful that GOD chose you & Josh to take this homestead to another level, as well as a new chapter in your life. 🙏 So Grateful & Blessed...
Very cool! I think rv bay would make a great work shop for Josh. Having a processing kitchen would be great. We call them summer kitchens. As for the new garden area, you should 1st locate your septic and we'll systems because you can't dig in those areas. Congratulations! 💯❣️
It's a lovely house I can't wait to see how you make it your home. I think the small room would be better for you preserving room. And the larger space for Josh's workshop as he will be able to have the room to expand when he need to. Could you do a Deer fence like Living Traditions have done with double fence and they have there chickens and Ducks in the middle of the 2 fence lines like a moat.
I have always said “What is meant for you, will not pass you by”. Oh my goodness, what a most beautiful property that you are now to call home!! Congratulations to you both xxx
I feel like it has to be fate because the kitchen, office, pantry situation is just perfect for you! We closed on our forever home in 2020 and this brings back all the feelings of finding the perfect house. Congratulations to you both!!!
Congratulations! Its always so awesome to see people achieve their dreams! Looking forward to seeing what you do with this amazing property! So very happy for you!
What an amazing blessing! I told my husband when we sell it will not be to an investor. I want a family to enjoy our home. It was soooooo hard to get a house when we were searching because investors beat us with cash offers for a whole year. I cried and was about to give up.
A sun room for your plant starts, double ovens!! Definitely canning kitchen, there's a door to the outside, and you won't mess up your main kitchen. Garage workshop because the garage doors make it easy to bring in/out lumber. Congratulations on finding such an incredible place!
Congrats!! So glad you get to harvest from your other garden before selling! So much work put into that garden this season! I think you have the right idea to watch your sun patterns and also observe drainage on your property. Maybe even set up a trail cam to observe what wildlife comes through! It’ll be fun watching what you guys build! Super fun you have that orchard area!
Congratulations to you and Josh.❤️ I have just discovered you in the last few months and check in often. Your enthusiasm has inspired me to pursue becoming a new “home canner” in my mid 70’s and to plant a few tomato plants in my limited “space and sun” yard in the city. You are an inspiration. Keep on sharing and educating people. It’s a gift dear lady. Thanks for taking all of us along on your life ride!
I am new to canning too! I love her enthusiasm. I remember when we bought this house, we wanted to do all of the things, even though it's only a regular suburban yard. Now we have an herb spiral, a hugel-bioswale, vertical garden, converting lawn to garden... It's never too late. I'm thrilled you have some tomatoes!
Girl.. this place is huge!! What you should do is use the wood shop for us canning. You should can, freeze, and even make your seasonings to sell! There are people like me who would love to have those type of things on hand but have no room for a garden or all those small appliances to makes my own storage. If I lived near you I would be a customer! THEN.. have a bunch of kids to raise in this beautiful homestead. I love .. love you and will always have my support. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You asked for ideas... consider putting your canning kitchen in the walk out basement. You can walk right in from the garden to prep and process your harvest. You will be right next to your planned root cellar/canned goods storage with no stairs up and down with produce or finished items! Also you will be cooler in the basement with less need for the AC. This will also keep the main floor cooler by not having the canning kitchen next to your main kitchen. Looks like the basement is large enough for the canning kitchen, your food storage area AND Josh's drum studio. 🥁 Best of luck to you both and congratulations on the new homestead!
Tremendous idea - especially the difference in temps - much less stress on the kitchen equipment and hvac in summer/fall when harvests are pulled in - AND you can get a golf cart or side by side with a tow point to attach a gorilla cart or something similar to help you pull in your harvests right up to the sliding doors so that you can detach the cart and pull it right inside.
Becky my Heart is erupting with joy for you and Josh! This makes me so happy for you and I can’t wait to see you all grow into the home and make it your own. What a stunning property for such a deserving couple! Congrats again at this most wonderful new chapter :)
I can’t even begin to tell you how happy I am for you. The Homestead is PERFECT for you. I’m thrilled that you won’t lose any of your fruit trees! That orchard is awesome! Can’t wait to follow along on the journey Becky!!
I've been quietly lurking and following you for some time now, but I've never left any comments. I absolutely love to watch all of your videos, and just had to say that I'm so happy for you and Josh! And Orbit and Tibro! I look forward to seeing you put your touches on this forever homestead! =)
I never heard the term "daylight" basement before, we call it "walk out" basement. I love ours! I also have my storage room for my canned goods, garlic, etc. in ours. I can see so many great possibilities with your new home!
I just found you this week! Yesterday I was wishing that I could see your entire property, then today this video popped up!! You and your husband have so much energy!! At 70, I would be overwhelmed with everything….but I love living vicariously through you! Such a gorgeous property/view! Thanks for sharing! 💖💖
As I watched you share your new home, I couldn’t stop smiling while tears were threatening to flow. This house and property is absolutely beautiful and holds the potential to fulfill all of your dreams. I can’t wait to watch this new chapter of your life unfold. You both deserve all that is to come and we as your you-tube community are blessed to share it. Thank you!
OH MY GOD Becky! Your new home is an absolute dream! You have everything I love! I would put the wood workshop in that garage (you DO NOT want all that dust in your house), and make that other room for your canning like you said….great idea! The potential area for your large garden and chickens is awesome, plus all those fruit trees! I would be makin apple pies like nobody’s business 😜 The area with the strawberries is wow….love it! Your cool basement for your canned goods….yes yes yes! Congratulations on such a lovely home 🥰
What a blessing, Becky!!! I am so thrilled for yall! 7 sky lights! The view! So many things to gush over! I agree it makes sense to have your kitchen separate from your living (Also I imagine it's good to have separate areas to gather, instead of feeling like everyone is on top of each other). As far as workshop or canning kitchen, maybe canning in your main kitchen will answer the question for you? How neat that Josh is a drummer! And a daylight basement is perfect! Love that there are existing gardens and orchards in your area to move to. And what a blessing to be able to keep harvesting from your current garden and watch the sun pattern at the new house! I'm looking forward to watching the journey. I'm the same age as you and have been keeping a small garden for years. I've been watching your videos for a few months. It's really cool to see a peer share my interests. You inspire me to do more and to dream more for myself!
Becky, congratulations on your dream come true! Your lovely home and the beauty of nature is a place to be hold! All the hard work you put into pays off sooner or later. You are an inspiration to your viewers. You are such an energetic person and have passion for nature. What a blessing for you two to have accomplished your dreams at such young age. Way to go! your cooking videos are impressive. I just bumped into your channel and let me tell you that your passion for cooking, gardening and desires to be better and sharing all with family friends and your followers is an amazing inspiration for women and men as well. May God bless you lovely lady!
Holy All The Things, Becky! Your new home is amazing! I really enjoyed the tour and your eyes were just sparkling while you discussed your plans. So happy for you! All that space to do all the things you and Josh enjoy. To have a ready orchard and space to expand out your garden, no wonder you are glowing! Brian over at Next Level Gardening just bought his dream homestead too and terraced out his garden beds. Maybe that will give you some ideas. Congratulations!
Oh my dear sweet Becky and “Farmer Josh” my heart is so full of joy for both of you. It is like God had this place created just for the both of you. This property has waited for you to come love it. I cannot wait to come along on this new journey with you. Becky, I know your new farm will be the priority but I hope the next blessing will be a book. Oh what a gift that would be to so many. You have so much knowledge to share. Definitely a canning kitchen my love. Thank you for all you share with us. You always bring a smile to my face, a growl to my tummy and joy to my day. Blessings my dear one ❤️
Don't forget netting over the berries -- I never considered the birds and learned from a family in the area. Also, the critters were my greatest issue. They will come up from the dirt bottom of the garden! Consider putting netting on the floor of each garden. FYI--each state has an arrangement with one of the universities to help farmers and gardeners in numerous ways. They offer tree and other seedlings to help grow the trees or plants or to plant the land for various reasons. This office usually has a library with plant and soil management, resource people or businesses, etc. You may have a lot of knowledge, but these services are free and . might help with hard-to-find answer. Also, ask all kinds of questions , then ask: what am I not asking...what have I not brought up that you think I might consider? You might find out something you'd never thought about. Meanwhile, your property looks great, and we'll all enjoy watching and learning from you. It's wonderful for you to have your Forever Home! Have fun!
What a dream come true! You're gonna have a big learning curve with all the extra sun that you're not used to. The already built garden space is a huge blessing! I'm sure you will make it all GORGEOUS!
30:03 I was thinking that it's a shame you were having to start from scratch on the garden and fruit trees, but boy was a wrong. This is such a great home and garden. I speak peace and blessings over you both and your family. To God be the glory.
I was to n so surprised to see a beautiful Orchard already made Garden in the berry plants couldn't ask for anything more but can't wait to see what she does and he does with it
Hope you kept your home kitchen as a place for all of us to enjoy. It makes us happy with you and feel part of your adventures. Your adventures there and the gardens are what makes you our “friend”. 🙏🙏👍
That house is beautiful and that sunroom is gorgeous!! I’m glad y’all have found your forever home and can’t wait to see all the projects bring your home to life! :)
Absolutely beautiful home and acreage. How many acres? Definitely, use that one space for your canning kitchen because you could eventually hold canning classes there. A few other RUclipsrs that I watch have recently made separate kitchen spaces to teach canning. Congrats to both of you on your new home.
Becky, I know we don’t know each other personally, but I’ve been watching your channel for a while and I am so excited for you. I actually had tears of joy. So happy for you. I can’t wait to see what you do in the gardens too.
Amazing Amazing Amazing property.. The potential is ENDLESS!!! My youngest son Carter would be your BEST buddy and helper because YOU HAVE APPLES. Literally on the edge of my seat. I'm new and I cannot wait to see what you all do with the land. So EXCITED
I'm a senior, if I could live my life over, I think you would be my role model. I'm very, very happy for you!
You seem so in love and so genuinely grateful. I have hope for the future. I hope that ugly wall comes down. Lol
Mine too
What a lovely sentiment or compliment.
I can't think of a more perfect property for a more deserving couple.
I love the fact that your kitchen is separated from the living room. I hate open concept. If my kitchen is a mess I don’t want someone walking into my living room and seeing it. That and my kitchen is my area to get away to cook with no disturbances. So your area is gorgeous!

What would a house like this cost in the US. Roughly? In Canada, where I live it would cost about $2 million+

Mine too
As a “wood shop wife”, I’d use that cottage for canning. The garage has the capacity to load large sheets of wood and large tools.
You need as much space as possible for wood projects. Just to rip a sheet of plywood down, you need a full sheet of space on both sides!
How FUN!
Again I’m so excited for you both!
Yes! Canning outside of the house is great to keep from overheating your house! It's also easier to organize your canning all in one place without having to stash it all away in cupboards and drawers every time you finish canning and need to make dinner!
I agree. Also the cottage would make a great "summer kitchen" for those things you need to do in the summer months like canning that you don't want to heat up the main house. I bake a lot of bread, would put an oven out there for that purpose too.

I'm continuing to watch this video and I just can't help myself. I've got to include another comment. This home and it's property would be a dream come true for many families. I realize it's been 2y....but CONGRATULATIONS to you and Josh!!! You guy's are obviously doing something right to receive such a wonderful blessing. The Lord is great! 🎉❤
Having worked in construction, I can tell you it's a lot easier to save the baseboards until after the carpet is removed, walls painted, new floor installed. In that order. Beautiful blank canvas. I'm so excited for you.
Girl why am I sitting here crying like it’s my family getting their new dream home?!? Lol because I love you and I appreciate you and you so deserve this. You work so hard and you’re such an inspiration. This house is absolutely gorgeous and the view is breathtaking…. Soo happy for you and Josh!!!
Me too
Me too !!
I agree!
Me too!
Yes. Great big tears of joy.
Becky, this couldn’t have happened to a nicer person! Good luck in your new home and I can’t wait for all the new adventures! ❤️🙏🏼🇺🇸
Agree
@@steph0xGxca
I AGREE!!!!
Wow! You struck gold with that property! Congratulations!!
Hi Becky. This is exciting news. One thing I want to point out is you most likely have a septic tank and they require a drain "field" so before you plant anything or build anything find out where the septic and drain field are because there are restrictions on putting anything in those areas. Get a copy of your property description from the county you're in with a drawing where your septic is and ask about drain field restrictions. It will save you a big headache. Cheers and congrats!
I knew that tiny little acre homestead couldn’t contain you for long. You’re an absolute powerhouse with your gardening, cooking and preserving to name a few. Congratulations on your new home. It looks beautiful!! Well deserved Becky and Josh! Well deserved.
So happy for you guys! Couldn’t stop smiling during the video! Such a blessing for such a beautiful couple! ❤️❤️
I hope the new owners are watching your video.
It's always nice to know that a home you loved for so long is going to someone who is equally excited about it.
In my mind the former owners were already youtube followers and reached out to Becky since they knew they'd cherish it as much as they did. 💜
Congratulations on your dream house. I'm 76 and always dreamed of something like that. I'm a fairly new subscriber and admire all the work you do. I'm convinced that you and Josh will be making a beautiful place for your future. Thanks for inviting us in your home, I will continue to dream, but too old to move anywhere now.
How kind of you. Obviously you’re a loving person to be happy for someone who has more than you when you know where you are in your life. I wish all people would be so generous, they would be much happier.
We are 65 and 68 and will move in the next year, but yes, I hear you. I’m glad we’re doing it now and not waiting. I’ve had to convince my husband of this, that we’re not going to want to move in ten years. If we have ANY desire to move , we need to do it ASAP.
Becky, how is it possible to be so happy & excited for someone you’ve never met?!? That has to blow your mind to have such an outpouring of love towards you. But it’s because of you being so genuine & so relatable. You deserve a beautiful homestead like this one & I can’t wait to see all the changes you & Josh do to make this uniquely yours. What an amazing blessing! So incredibly happy for you! Keep being you! Oh and I vote for the canning kitchen ;) Now instead of Acre Homestead you can be “Homestead with a View”!
Agreed! 😁
Hugely agree 🥰🥰🥰
Hey, just wanted to let you know that there's a device called a Solar Pathfinder that you can buy, set up anywhere on a piece of property, and it'll show you what the projected sun pattern will be for that spot for the entire year based off trees, slope, ect. It's mostly used when installing solar panels to track how much sun/shade an area gets. Worth looking into
That is great to know,,thanks for sharing this info!
Great info! Thanks for sharing
Thank you!!!! So helpful.
Love that you shared this info. Really helpful! Thank you!😄
Not only does this property fit your needs perfectly, it was a blessing to the sellers as well! They found buyers who would cherish the home as much as they did... So happy for you, You are an amazing, hard-working homesteader! Best wishes....
Absolutely!
They should invite the old owner for harvest season.
Becky! It's amazing!
Consider..... A kitchen couch! My grandma had a beautiful couch that I was going to put downstairs when she passed, but it didn't fit 😂. So we put it in the kitchen temporarily, and realized it's the literal best part of our entire house.
We can snuggle on it, watch sunsets, relax when there is something to keep an eye on in the kitchen, and curl up on with a snack. Not to mention the ability for your guests or partner to be so comfy and hang out with you while you cook. Whatever you do will be perfect though, I can't wait to see it!
I have never been so happy for a non-family member getting a house as I am y'all!! I'm tearing up watching this!! You are SO genuine in everything you show us. Congratulations on your new home 🏡!!
Hello becky!
I’ve got a suggestion for your vegetable garden, since you plan to regrade your property you’ll have lots and lots of earth to redistribute, so you could do tall raised beds! You could make them hip height so you don’t have to crouch down to weed and harvest your crop. That way the soil that your plants are growing in are going to be elevated with the sun hitting them all day so the soil is warmer and your growing season is longer. I’ve had raised beds like this and it’s really been amazing having everything at eye level without needing to bend over to inspect my plants!
I’m so very exited for this new chapter in your life! And jealous for all the planning that you’ll need to do for your garden!
I am absolutely thrilled for you, Becky!!! It really is the perfect home for the two of you, and for all your projects. My instinct is that Josh’s shop should be in the garage room and you should get that canning kitchen. If at a later point you wanna buy a boat, you can change things around - it won’t be impossible. And that amount of space for his shop will be awesome for him, too.
(PS In Armenian, we have this notion of good jealousy and naughty jealous; good jealousy is when you are happy for the other person and you’d like to have the same for yourself… And that’s how I feel about your berry garden!)
Thank you Anadhid! You have been so supportive!
I have the same good jealous feelings right now!!!
@@AcreHomestead By the way, I forgot to mention two RUclipsrs you may will already watch. One is Liz Zorab at Byther Farm, and the other is Brian at Next Level Gardening. (He also has a homesteading channel.) Both of them have made moves to quite large properties in the past year or two, and while neither of their gardens will be like yours, listening to them talk about how their thought processes and how they made decisions and all of that might be good fun for you to watch and listen to.
What a beautiful property The previous owner did a great job of protecting everything You two are beyond lucky to have this at such a young age! I’m a new subscriber and I’m very excited to see what you do with this paradise
Oh my word I'm so dang excited for you guys!! Congratulations in so many ways!! It is absolutely an amazing property!!
Thank you! We are so excited!
THE WADS, I totally agree with you, it's an amazing property that I also dream to have a similar one, one day if God's will🙏
Hey Kim I LOVE your channel!
@@Airamimosa I pray that you would
We are also praying for one
Kim!! You’re the best! ❤️❤️
Wow, this house is so beautiful and perfect for you! Many, many happy years for you and your growing family, God bless you! 🙏🏠🎊
Way cool! Congratulations🎉
A recommendation I heard from another RUclipsr who bought a farm with a house that needed renovation - live in the place for a year before you do any major changes or renovations. Things that seem like a great idea can be nulled by a factor you are unaware of or can't foresee right now. It could be a location that floods when it rains, or a room that doesn't get light that you need for projects. You will also settle into a routine and naturally realize what suits you best for how to organize the space. This will help prevent any financial disasters that could have been avoided.
that is some great advice
WOW! What a stunning property! I'm guessing the owners sold to you before it hit the market because they knew you were the perfect people for this place! I just found you through Epic Gardening, so i'm looking forward to seeing your progress over this year! Congratulations on such a beautiful future!
OMG! This is so amazing for you guys! I've been watching for years and it's so awesome to see you grow in every apsect of your life. From the start of the channel to RUclips becoming your fulltime job and now this! I'm very happy for you both. Sending lots of love and blessings to your new home
Becca thank you so much! I am so blessed to have you here alone for this beautiful journey called life!
I was going to type the exact thing that Becca did. Congratulations to you!!! I’m so happy to see your dreams coming true, and I can’t wait to follow along as you make this new place your own.
What a wonderful surprise! May this house bring joy, peace and comfort to your heart. Oh, the meals, the garden and making it your own! What an adventure. CONGRATULATIONS!🎉🥳
Thanks so much, Annette! Your support means the world to me!
My sentiments exactly!
I absolutely imagined a food preservation kitchen in that first space. I also think the garage for the shop would be more functional for Josh.
For your greenhouse maybe consider digging out at the lower part of the slope and putting the greenhouse in ground partway. The warmth from being in ground could be very helpful and being dug in wont impact your view nearly as much.
Very good idea
GREAT idea!
Excellent idea plus it won’t block that awesome view.
Excellent idea and insights!
Yes, there is a person in the US who has an organic heating in a lowered greenhouse ... very state-of-the-art technology, but can be done by oneself.
Becky this is AMAZING! I think give Josh the big garage space for his shop and you take the other space for your canning kitchen. If you ever wanted to get a boat, you could just winterize it. I can't wait to see you two grow into this home together. So excited for the adventures!
I agree!
Thank you so much, Katrina!
congrates your house is Soo beautyfull
Agree
You might want consider putting tile or granite on the “appliance” shelf in your new pantry so is heat resistant. Your house is gorgeous! Really love the sun room and the beautiful outdoor landscaping.
Becky this home is a beautiful blessing. "If your gifted a handful of seeds, God will bless you with the ground to grow them in". And I defiantly believe that God has bless you with all this beautiful land and gardens to allow you to grow there. Many blessings from our homestead to yours.
An orchard is so sweet!! And that tall fence around the garden and orchard to keep animals out of your food is wonderful to have!!!!
I don't think I've ever seen a house that fit someone so perfectly! Congrats to you and Josh!!
Plus it came with a garden with (fruit trees).
I've been trying for a couple years to get my daughters into canning and such but it never worked. Then 1 of them watched 1 of your videos and now she loves watching you and is canning and preserving thank you for being such a wholesome good hearted person
You got me crying at the end girl. I’m so happy for you. I pray you get everything out of life this decision offers. So happy for you and Josh!
I came across your channel by just browsing. I must say that you can "cook". And an excellent multitasker. And you are so authentic and very smart.Just live your energy. And do you get any rest at all. You are just like the energizer Bunny".? Looking forward to seeing you cook the fruit if your labor".?
This house was built for you two.. it literally screams Becky and Josh and I am honestly soo excited to watch it become your home ❤️
I am moved to tears. I am so happy for you. I remember as if yesterday when we bought our little farm. My husband and I and our 4 children were so happy there. I lost my husband of 52 years suddenly from cancer in 2013. So I am sure you will understand how very much I am looking forward to following your journey together in this forever home. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Blessings from North Bay Ontario.:)
Reading your comment is very moving. Although it has been almost 10 years I want to say I am sorry for your loss. (I''m hoping I am not overstepping.)
Christine, i too am sorry for your loss. I hope you find comfort in watching this story unfold. I hope life is treating you well now
@@net_marie3153 Thank you. Its hard to believe that it has been 9 years.
@@w.dossett3332 I am sure I shall be re living some happy times through Becky and Josh. Thank you.
LOVE YOUR HOUSE!!!! I would definitely make the woodshop in the garage! That way he can store wood outside, work on BIG or small projects and have TONS of storage for those bulkier tools. Then having that smaller space for canning would be great because it LOOKS like it is off the backyard which would help for carrying in the harvest!
I agree. Also having the large doors in the shop would allow Josh to easily move wood in and finished projects out.
You have the opportunity to put in a second laundry?? We would love that! Being able to separate the really grungy farm work clothes and the dog bedding from the regular washer is a dream of mine!
First of all way to go on giving God all the glory for your blessings! 🙌🏻 Girl this house is a dream and whoever built this house put some thought and love into it because it has everything! Love allll the storage, shelves, space, natural light..I mean come on! 😍 congratulations so happy for y’all, thanks for sharing! 💚🌱
Becky… I find myself sitting here with sore cheeks, As I smile with joy for you and Josh! I find myself so very proud for you both! Thank you so much for allowing us to live vicariously through your videos! I’m simply over the moon for you all! 🥰🇨🇦
This property was 100 % a God thing! All the interesting things about it seem to be perfect for your needs. The orchard was like 50 cherries on top of this beautiful place. It will be lovely to see you guys branch out into more homestead life at this place.
Wow, that is quite a sprawling house! At the beginning I was disappointed at that black wall blocking the view from the foyer. I was overjoyed to learn that you, too, realized that it had to go! I like your idea of the canning room in addition to your kitchen. You and Joshua are very fortunate to have acquired such a lovely home and all that land with its current gardens and orchard.❤
I love the idea of a separate canning kitchen, especially to help keep the heat that is generated, and the mess, away from the main part of the house. Congratulations on your new home!
I think the room would make an awesome canning kitchen and the RV garage would make an awesome workshop for Josh. It is right off where his tractor is parked and looks like a nice little shed there where he could store lumber and such. Congratulations on your new home. Can’t wait to see all the changes you are going to make.
This is my vote too! So many awesome possibilities with this property.
And a mezzanine can be built for storage, etc.
Yes and they can add a couch bed to make it a in law suite/guest room as well
Also, in your laundry room, where the cabinets are, if you can put the cabinets on the floor, put a cabinet shelf on top for a folding table. On the wall above, put a closet rod across the top for hanging laundry as you take it out of the dryer n
Having that workshop space as your canning kitchen sounds perfect, leaving the machines out all the time no need to find cupboard space for them in your kitchen or basement is such a luxury that you 100% deserve, also makes complete sense since it is so close to your garden. Great that your husband will have areas of his own even if you take the workshop next to the garden
Your home and the property is amazing what a wonderful place to raise your family! When ever you get settled and since you have hazelnut trees
Bake some hazelnuts in a loaf of homemade bread for your chicken salad So good. May God bless your family in your beautiful new home and bring you many happy years !❤🙏❤
Congratulations! Very happy for you and Josh on the new spread. Idea: Maybe consider embedded raised garden beds for the new garden terracing. Easier to do... you may even be able to do it yourself, lower cost, and you can start using them as you go. Also, less bending over to plant and work --- make the natural incline of the hill work for you!
What a brilliant idea!!!
I agree!
As a shop girl, I vote have the shop in the extra bay of garage. Makes fixing stuff and doing projects soooo much easier and more enjoyable when the tools and shop are close.
and makes it much easier to load in materials directly from the truck/trailer - as well as move the finished product to different areas of the property..
I had my own theories about "The Big Thing" you've been hinting about, but I never thought it could be a new house! Congratulations, good luck with the renovations and I hope your new home will bring you and Josh happiness and peace!
I thought it might be a baby
I am curious if they plan to grow their family, although it truly isn't any of my business. I am happy for their new start at a new property. I cannot wait to see how they use the new garden space!
@@Bamagirllp me too, I did wonder that after all the updates. Guess we will all have to wait for that news
I thought it might be a house with more land but this still blew my mind!
Who knows? As Kallie says, not my business...but something Becky said in the next video, the first demo day, has me kinda wondering if there will be another "Big Thing" soon.
I know this was posted a yr ago but I just have to say… I am sooooo HAPPY for you guys!! What a BLESSING from God!
Oh my goodness I was just smiling ear to ear the whole video! I am so so happy for y’all- what a BEAUTIFUL home!!! I 100% agree with you about the open concept kitchen/living. It has its benefits, but my husband and I BOTH agree that our next house will have the ability to close the kitchen off. Whether it be for noise reasons (can’t hear the TV over the dishes being washed), or a mes/sink full of dishes, it’s so nice to be able to close a door! Blessings to you!! So excited to see how you both grow this home!!
These people whom built this house put their detailed thoughts when they designed it. It’s absolutely beautiful. You two work hard and totally deserve this. Congrats to Becky and Josh. Such a wonderful news 💕
Definitely plant fruit trees as soon as possible. They will grow fine on a sloop. Just make use they are far enough apart that a riding lawn mower will easily fit between them
I wish I was able to attach a photo or video because I can 100% relate to the loudness of drums. Both my son (who is also in a band) and my husband both play the drums. Our 4th bedroom is a music room. We have two full drum kits, four electric guitars and five amps. My son also writes and records music for his band, as well as for other bands, so we also have computers and recording equipment in that room as well.
Becky, this is AMAZING!!! It truly is a DREAM Homestead! And that view is breathtaking. I'm so happy and excited for you both. This couldn't have happened to a nicer or more deserving couple. I'd bet the Lord secretly guided some of the original owners' decisions when they were building it, knowing that He wanted you and Josh to have it down the road. With all the doom and gloom going on in the world right now, seeing someone realize such a precious, beautiful blessing as this, is so encouraging. All the best to you both and I greatly look forward to following all the future videos as you make this new place your own. God bless!
Becky--it was like watching you open Christmas presents under the tree!! How wonderful for you and Josh to have your well-deserved forever home. I can't wait for our journey together as you make this place your own. And I am excited to see how your "girls" move into their new home! Hugs and blessings.
This is so exciting! Having the workshop in the garage is one way to keep power tool noise to a minimum. That's my vote.
Becki, when you and Josh start settling into your new home, think future. If you use the building away from the house for canning you will have to go from the house to there in rain, wind and possibly have to take one or more small children with you. I am 74 and look back now thinking about what would be easier today if I would have a made certain changes in our home years ago. If it's your forever home think long term. Love you and your life style. Prayers will be said for your new journey. Pat
Becky & Josh! What an absolute stunner of a property! The depth of your knowledge will only increase the abundance that man left for you on his land. Thrilled to see all of your diligence has lead you here and excited to see where it takes you in the future! Congrats!!! So happy for you!
Oh my goodness thank you so very much! We are so excited! I have watch your family for years. Way before Callie was born. I’m so excited for your homestead too! It’s been so fun watching your dreams unfold there!
You did it! So grateful that GOD chose you & Josh to take this homestead to another level, as well as a new chapter in your life. 🙏 So Grateful & Blessed...
Very cool! I think rv bay would make a great work shop for Josh. Having a processing kitchen would be great. We call them summer kitchens. As for the new garden area, you should 1st locate your septic and we'll systems because you can't dig in those areas. Congratulations! 💯❣️
Excellent point!!!!!!!
Just make sure you protect your ears with all that echo 😳
It's a lovely house I can't wait to see how you make it your home.
I think the small room would be better for you preserving room. And the larger space for Josh's workshop as he will be able to have the room to expand when he need to.
Could you do a Deer fence like Living Traditions have done with double fence and they have there chickens and Ducks in the middle of the 2 fence lines like a moat.
I’m glad you’re keeping private places private. In this day and age, we don’t need to know “everything “. Congrats on the new house!❤
I have always said “What is meant for you, will not pass you by”. Oh my goodness, what a most beautiful property that you are now to call home!! Congratulations to you both xxx
Pamela, I need to remember this!
I feel like it has to be fate because the kitchen, office, pantry situation is just perfect for you! We closed on our forever home in 2020 and this brings back all the feelings of finding the perfect house. Congratulations to you both!!!
Congratulations! Its always so awesome to see people achieve their dreams! Looking forward to seeing what you do with this amazing property! So very happy for you!
Thank you!
What an amazing blessing! I told my husband when we sell it will not be to an investor. I want a family to enjoy our home. It was soooooo hard to get a house when we were searching because investors beat us with cash offers for a whole year. I cried and was about to give up.
A sun room for your plant starts, double ovens!! Definitely canning kitchen, there's a door to the outside, and you won't mess up your main kitchen. Garage workshop because the garage doors make it easy to bring in/out lumber. Congratulations on finding such an incredible place!
Congrats!! So glad you get to harvest from your other garden before selling! So much work put into that garden this season! I think you have the right idea to watch your sun patterns and also observe drainage on your property. Maybe even set up a trail cam to observe what wildlife comes through! It’ll be fun watching what you guys build! Super fun you have that orchard area!
What a brilliant idea about the cam.
Congratulations to you and Josh.❤️ I have just discovered you in the last few months and check in often. Your enthusiasm has inspired me to pursue becoming a new “home canner” in my mid 70’s and to plant a few tomato plants in my limited “space and sun” yard in the city. You are an inspiration. Keep on sharing and educating people. It’s a gift dear lady. Thanks for taking all of us along on your life ride!
I am new to canning too! I love her enthusiasm. I remember when we bought this house, we wanted to do all of the things, even though it's only a regular suburban yard. Now we have an herb spiral, a hugel-bioswale, vertical garden, converting lawn to garden...
It's never too late. I'm thrilled you have some tomatoes!
Girl.. this place is huge!! What you should do is use the wood shop for us canning. You should can, freeze, and even make your seasonings to sell! There are people like me who would love to have those type of things on hand but have no room for a garden or all those small appliances to makes my own storage. If I lived near you I would be a customer! THEN.. have a bunch of kids to raise in this beautiful homestead. I love .. love you and will always have my support. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You asked for ideas... consider putting your canning kitchen in the walk out basement. You can walk right in from the garden to prep and process your harvest. You will be right next to your planned root cellar/canned goods storage with no stairs up and down with produce or finished items! Also you will be cooler in the basement with less need for the AC. This will also keep the main floor cooler by not having the canning kitchen next to your main kitchen. Looks like the basement is large enough for the canning kitchen, your food storage area AND Josh's drum studio. 🥁 Best of luck to you both and congratulations on the new homestead!
Great idea! Didn’t eve think if that
Tremendous idea - especially the difference in temps - much less stress on the kitchen equipment and hvac in summer/fall when harvests are pulled in - AND you can get a golf cart or side by side with a tow point to attach a gorilla cart or something similar to help you pull in your harvests right up to the sliding doors so that you can detach the cart and pull it right inside.
Good idea!
Becky my Heart is erupting with joy for you and Josh! This makes me so happy for you and I can’t wait to see you all grow into the home and make it your own. What a stunning property for such a deserving couple! Congrats again at this most wonderful new chapter :)
I can’t even begin to tell you how happy I am for you. The Homestead is PERFECT for you. I’m thrilled that you won’t lose any of your fruit trees! That orchard is awesome! Can’t wait to follow along on the journey Becky!!
I thought the same!
I started our by watching your cooking podcasts now I just found this one about your New house. I have to go back as you renovate. Congratulations!!
I've been quietly lurking and following you for some time now, but I've never left any comments. I absolutely love to watch all of your videos, and just had to say that I'm so happy for you and Josh! And Orbit and Tibro! I look forward to seeing you put your touches on this forever homestead! =)
I never heard the term "daylight" basement before, we call it "walk out" basement. I love ours! I also have my storage room for my canned goods, garlic, etc. in ours. I can see so many great possibilities with your new home!
Congratulations Becky & Josh! Your new home is beautiful! Wishing you many many years of happiness & prosperity in your new home!
I just found you this week! Yesterday I was wishing that I could see your entire property, then today this video popped up!! You and your husband have so much energy!! At 70, I would be overwhelmed with everything….but I love living vicariously through you! Such a gorgeous property/view! Thanks for sharing! 💖💖
As I watched you share your new home, I couldn’t stop smiling while tears were threatening to flow. This house and property is absolutely beautiful and holds the potential to fulfill all of your dreams. I can’t wait to watch this new chapter of your life unfold. You both deserve all that is to come and we as your you-tube community are blessed to share it. Thank you!
OH MY GOD Becky! Your new home is an absolute dream! You have everything I love! I would put the wood workshop in that garage (you DO NOT want all that dust in your house), and make that other room for your canning like you said….great idea! The potential area for your large garden and chickens is awesome, plus all those fruit trees! I would be makin apple pies like nobody’s business 😜 The area with the strawberries is wow….love it! Your cool basement for your canned goods….yes yes yes! Congratulations on such a lovely home 🥰
What a blessing, Becky!!! I am so thrilled for yall! 7 sky lights! The view! So many things to gush over! I agree it makes sense to have your kitchen separate from your living (Also I imagine it's good to have separate areas to gather, instead of feeling like everyone is on top of each other). As far as workshop or canning kitchen, maybe canning in your main kitchen will answer the question for you? How neat that Josh is a drummer! And a daylight basement is perfect! Love that there are existing gardens and orchards in your area to move to. And what a blessing to be able to keep harvesting from your current garden and watch the sun pattern at the new house! I'm looking forward to watching the journey. I'm the same age as you and have been keeping a small garden for years. I've been watching your videos for a few months. It's really cool to see a peer share my interests. You inspire me to do more and to dream more for myself!
Becky, congratulations on your dream come true! Your lovely home and the beauty of nature is a place to be hold! All the hard work you put into pays off sooner or later. You are an inspiration to your viewers. You are such an energetic person and have passion for nature. What a blessing for you two to have accomplished your dreams at such young age. Way to go! your cooking videos are impressive. I just bumped into your channel and let me tell you that your passion for cooking, gardening and desires to be better and sharing all with family friends and your followers is an amazing inspiration for women and men as well. May God bless you lovely lady!
Holy All The Things, Becky! Your new home is amazing! I really enjoyed the tour and your eyes were just sparkling while you discussed your plans. So happy for you! All that space to do all the things you and Josh enjoy. To have a ready orchard and space to expand out your garden, no wonder you are glowing! Brian over at Next Level Gardening just bought his dream homestead too and terraced out his garden beds. Maybe that will give you some ideas. Congratulations!
Oh my dear sweet Becky and “Farmer Josh” my heart is so full of joy for both of you. It is like God had this place created just for the both of you. This property has waited for you to come love it. I cannot wait to come along on this new journey with you. Becky, I know your new farm will be the priority but I hope the next blessing will be a book. Oh what a gift that would be to so many. You have so much knowledge to share. Definitely a canning kitchen my love. Thank you for all you share with us. You always bring a smile to my face, a growl to my tummy and joy to my day. Blessings my dear one ❤️
This sounds like a start to another great house party❗️Your first meal in your new home was wonderful to be able to celebrate with family🥳
Don't forget netting over the berries -- I never considered the birds and learned from a family in the area. Also, the critters were my greatest issue. They will come up from the dirt bottom of the garden! Consider putting netting on the floor of each garden. FYI--each state has an arrangement with one of the universities to help farmers and gardeners in numerous ways. They offer tree and other seedlings to help grow the trees or plants or to plant the land for various reasons. This office usually has a library with plant and soil management, resource people or businesses, etc. You may have a lot of knowledge, but these services are free and . might help with hard-to-find answer. Also, ask all kinds of questions , then ask: what am I not asking...what have I not brought up that you think I might consider? You might find out something you'd never thought about.
Meanwhile, your property looks great, and we'll all enjoy watching and learning from you. It's wonderful for you to have your Forever Home! Have fun!
That view from the “office” is breath taking! Rolling hills, orchards, gardens. Are you kidding me. That’s my literal happy place now ❤️❤️
What a dream come true! You're gonna have a big learning curve with all the extra sun that you're not used to. The already built garden space is a huge blessing! I'm sure you will make it all GORGEOUS!
30:03 I was thinking that it's a shame you were having to start from scratch on the garden and fruit trees, but boy was a wrong. This is such a great home and garden. I speak peace and blessings over you both and your family. To God be the glory.
I was to n so surprised to see a beautiful Orchard already made Garden in the berry plants couldn't ask for anything more but can't wait to see what she does and he does with it
Hope you kept your home kitchen as a place for all of us to enjoy. It makes us happy with you and feel part of your adventures. Your adventures there and the gardens are what makes you our “friend”. 🙏🙏👍
That house is beautiful and that sunroom is gorgeous!! I’m glad y’all have found your forever home and can’t wait to see all the projects bring your home to life! :)
Absolutely beautiful home and acreage. How many acres? Definitely, use that one space for your canning kitchen because you could eventually hold canning classes there. A few other RUclipsrs that I watch have recently made separate kitchen spaces to teach canning. Congrats to both of you on your new home.
Becky, I know we don’t know each other personally, but I’ve been watching your channel for a while and I am so excited for you. I actually had tears of joy. So happy for you. I can’t wait to see what you do in the gardens too.
