Perhaps when your mom starts managing the shop she can offer some make and take classes there for groups to make their own tinctures, soaps or whatever you guys dream up. I think people would enjoy that , especially those who aren't quite brave enough for the chicken lessons lol.
Great idea to bring people to the store! Even if she helps setup, take reservations, and then Jen teaches! I can see that patio filled with people learning to make soaps or such.
Happy Happy Happy I'm very happy to hear this news. There is one other job that both of these lovely ladies will do and there's no price tag for that....make memories for your babies that they will carry with them a life time. You once said "be the man that your kids can be proud to call dad"...well brother I think you and sister have got that going for you for sure. You are teaching what many in this world have forgotten to teach their children and I am very happy that I get to watch it happen. When they're old and you're old they will know what true love is. God Bless you all Now your mom and aunt can both drink coffee on the store porch and watch those babies swim and teach them to play checkers. Love you guys.
Your defiantly building a life filled with meaning and purpose. I can’t wait to see your store open. Such a blessing to be able to provide a place for your aunt and mom. And it is nice to be able to have them close as well. I wish you the best and many blessings.
How wonderful for you and your family to now live on the homestead together! You mentioned in the video the bed and breakfast is now closed and the income lost. I have a suggestion for income. Many of us retired folk have RVs, campers, fifth wheels. They can be up to 40 ft long. We belong to Harvest Host and can stay at farms, winery’s, restaurant parking, etc. You could become a Harvest Host where we pay a yearly fee and you are on the list. You could just advertise to followers like us that you are open for one or two night stays for RVs and set your nightly price. You don’t need to supply anything other than a place to securely park a camper and truck and a good tour. It is expected that those of us who come to a hosts place buy from their store or farm stand, wine, beer, and more. For the two nights we have our own batteries for electric, holding tank for septic, and water tank. It’s usual that RV people are good people. My hubby and I would love to come with our fifth wheel for a couple nights. We also have our own kitchen to cook or you could offer meals like you do for the bed and breakfast. Just something to consider. The only problem for me is here in NH we are expecting a diesel shortage. I can food and we have an organic garden and would enjoy seeing yours. Let us know if it’s something that would work for you. Oh….we don’t park under low tree branches as the camper top can rip. RVs also prefer a pull through place to park. They are hard to back up and need solid ground of course! Just putting that bug in your ear…..😊
Hi Zach and Jenn, my Favorite couple with children!!! Wow!!! Just Wow!!! You two never cease to amaze me you’re on the go so are your children and now we got mama and auntie with you all!!!! Now you farm is complete for now, your dreams are coming true and your having fun and loving it all!! Look how Precious your time on the farm has become, our Father has Blessed you all, he takes care of his beloved children! God’s Blessings to you all, always, Amen 🙏
How awesome for your kids to have a grandma and aunt around the farm! I love that. And so funny to me in particular as my daughter’s dream is to own a small farm and she said I can have a she-shed on the property, wear my hippie skirts every day, and make goat milk soaps! 😆
If you want to add AirBnB again at some point to continue meeting cool people you can always build a tiny house to rent out or something similar. I think it’s lovely that you’ve got family around again. Just hearing you say compound again is really nice. That word carries a lot of love and meaning for you. You can hear it. Totally worth adapting the dream so you can have that extra love there.
I thought the cottage would be a good choice. So happy you have family living on the homestead and your mom can help out in the store. So thankful we got to stay in the cottage in March. You are truly gracious hosts. If we travel south again we will stop in. ❤️
I think it's hilarious that two random chickens just showed up out of the blue and decided to live with you! Wonder if they got voted out of their flock because they're so grumpy? I'm so glad you have other family moving onto your compound!
It is nice having family on the Homestead. We also have our Mom and Son that live on our homestead and we enjoy getting together every evening for Dinner. Congrats You Guys!
I love that you make decisions that are right for your family, despite the avalanche of differing opinions. Shows strength of character and integrity...that's why I love you guys!
Add another herb bed to the garden beds. Fill it with Comfrey, for salves , compost, and other uses. It would be contained. Happy for everyone! GOD bless
What a gorgeous farm you have, just love it and what a beautiful couple. Those have got to be 2 of the happiest kids I’ve ever seen 🥰 how wonderful that you look after all of your family 😍 This is the 3rd video of yours that I have watched, I am now a subscriber ✌🏼💚
It makes me so happy for y’all to have momma back close. It still amazes me to see the progress in your lives. I guess because I started following y’all way back at the old compound. You’ve always been an inspiration because you see the blessings in all you have. I love that. God bless 🤓❤️🇺🇸
Family - how lovely to work together & the Lord oversee it. Praise Him for where all blessings grow. Sweet. Many kids miss out on love. Happy to see love reside in your home. ❤️🙏❤️
Ohhh, I was thinking that the Airbnb would be nice for her. Having a roommate ( more, family on the farm ) is Awesome. You all, Rock. Louds of love to you all.
I am so happy there living there!!! It's amazing!! Family comes first. Praise God for it It's great for the kids to have grandparent right there to teach them love them!!!
If you still need an income from something like an AirBnB, you could always set up a couple of RV pads and bring a couple of them in. Your guests could stay in there comfortably and it's pretty affordable! We have 2 on our property and it works out great! It's wonderful to have family with you. I am so happy for your family!
This is Jenna from The Flip Flop Barnyard, we started a new channel this week so we're under a new name now. I'm so happy to see your family moving there to be with y'all! That's so wonderful!
Congratulations on your new help. Even when you get older and still able to work that keeps us occupied and happy. They will be alot of help to you two and the children will be able to spend time with their grandmother and great aunt . Which frees you two up to do the farm work and gardening. Love to all and be happy. God bless you all and pray that everything will work out in God's way.🙏👍❤❤❤💕💕
No kidding, not even your Chicken 😨. I call it my Journey after my Husband passed and Yes I'm on my Third Place ( Finally, final 🐦🙌). That's Great News 😊. I thought y'all were going to say in the Basement with Jed 😱. LMBO xx z 💞 Y'all are deeply generous and Heart felt Folks 💝. JO JO IN VT 💕😄
I'm so excited with all the new things at your homestead. Will you ( please ) make some elderberry shrub and show it in a video? That'd be great to add shrubs(liquid) to your Etsy!
Family living close by is all I have ever known, unfortunately for us some have passed away and our community got a tad smaller but it is turning around. Family means everything on this earth. ❤.
How awesome! You have to do changes that work for you and your family. They may not make sense to 100% of your viewers but they aren't living your life. Enjoy having your family there and having help! I am so excited for you all and look forward to all you do.
Aunt Patty you got that right! I'm in Haysville and the wind is nuts out here. My grandmother came out to visit, mind you she didn't weigh 100lbs, but she said "hold my hand DANG IT! I feel like a kite!"
TALK WITH YOUR MORTGAGE COMPANY!!! Mine will not allow me to add a tiny home, camper, or trailer to my property. I'm moving my dad here, and he has to live in my home only. Otherwise, they can take back my property and I lose my home😥
I can’t wait to see your store open. I am so glad everything is coming together and I wish you the very best with your new ventures and a lot of success. So glad you have your mom there Jen.
Lol...yeah we live in Southwest Kansas...drylands...lol Yes...we never experienced winds anywhere like here...so much we hate it. We have sold our house and are moving to South Carolina in June....we tried for Kentucky but just couldn't find what we needed. Look forward to being back East.
So wonderful your family is close, the best. you ever think about RV hook ups, being that you no longer have the use of the cottage. Just a thought. continue success, love the videos
Jenn and Zach, set up an RV spot or two so people can bring their rvs and stay on farm still. Rent the spots. We would love to stop when we get on the road. :)
Have you guys ever thought about being a destination for RVers through Harvest Hosts? It could mean revenue for your store and I think that your farm would be an awesome place to boondock.
Enjoyed the last two videos especially because I am so happy for you all and how things are going! Great to have more smiling faces and helping hands on the homestead. Ya'll are blessed! Can't wait to see the growth you all are going to have in life!
its funny that y'all got ground cherries growing wild. i live in Florida and I got them growing wild in several locations including some if my pots. I'm thinking maybe the seed was in the soil or compost i purchased. farm is looking wonderful. God bless y'all ❣️💕❣️
I am so happy your mama is with you. I know she needed a fresh start, but there is no replacement for grand babies. I fretted over her plan to move so far away…and I preyed she would be happy, now she is. I’m so very sad I’ll never get to be your guest. I told my husband the day you announced it I wanted, no… needed to go stay at the The Cottage & it just didn’t work out, (He’s more of a motel 6 kinda guy🙈). BUT, I’m just down the road away & I think it would be a perfect day trip with my property mate, my youngest daughter/family. She aspires to be a homesteader and would LOVE to see our dream in action.

Your children are blessed to be raised on a homestead with so may loving relatives close by.
My great grandmother shared a bedroom with me part of the time growing up and I cherish the memories
yeah... It can be..
Happy Happy Happy
I'm very happy to hear this news.

Welcome Mom and Aunt Patty!!! I know y’all have to be happy. Sounds like the farm just keeps getting better and better. BLESSINGS!!!
You're right family is important...so having your mom to help take care of the store that's great...may make your lives a little more manageable

Hey, showering before chores is a must! Good way to start any day! Keep on keeping on.🐾🐾
It's wonderful that you and the kids are surrounded by loving family.
If you want to add AirBnB again at some point to continue meeting cool people you can always build a tiny house to rent out or something similar.

Its beautiful seeing your Mom and Aunt living on the farm family is what it's all about
Enjoy watching your channel. Looks like that pony of yours is overdue for a hoof trim.
How nice to have Jenn's Mom and Aunt staying at the cottage. They must be so happy staying at such a cozy home. Your farm is so beautiful.
I get chickens appearing all the time.. mostly roos. I think people just dump them off in the middle of the night.
I love your family and what you have accomplished.If I ever go to the States I will visit for sure .
👍🏽👍🏽 on the "FAM BAM"!!! YES, THEY COME FIRST. 💯 OVER 💯!!
Blessings to you all, from Ma'ili, Hawaii ....ALOHA...👍🏽👍🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽✌🏽
It is nice having family on the Homestead. We also have our Mom and Son that live on our homestead and we enjoy getting together every evening for Dinner. Congrats You Guys!
So glad more family is there!- PSSSTTT- Josh and I only need 2 trees to visit for a night ya'll!- will be near soon: )
Win win solutions. God bless all of you.
Happy you have grandparents to help grow the kids! Awesome!
Taking care of mom, is the best thing!
Aww so wonderful congratulations on having your family so close to you all . GODBLESS sweeties
Hello, That is the perfect home for your mom. Welcome Aunt Patty. God bless.
It is nice having family with all of you ❤️
So glad momma and Aunt Patty are happy, and you are so right, family comes first! Absolutely have fallen in love with you guys
Aunt Patty does now that you don't know wind until you live in Kansas! I am so glad you have family so close! I am so happy for you guys!
I love that you make decisions that are right for your family, despite the avalanche of differing opinions. Shows strength of character and integrity...that's why I love you guys!
Add another herb bed to the garden beds. Fill it with Comfrey, for salves , compost, and other uses. It would be contained.
Happy for everyone! GOD bless
That’s nice that your kids have their Grandma close by and their other relative too! Good luck w. Your store!

I love my family so having y'all's closer is wonderful. Blessings, julie
I’m so glad you made those choices! Family is forever!
No kidding, not even your Chicken 😨.
I call it my Journey after my Husband passed and Yes I'm on my Third Place ( Finally, final 🐦🙌).
That's Great News 😊.
I thought y'all were going to say in the Basement with Jed 😱. LMBO xx z 💞
Y'all are deeply generous and Heart felt Folks 💝.

Your family and smiles gives me hope! So awesome of Hunan's you all are. Family helping and growing! Wish my family can grow together. I just hope
AWESOME you have more family to live there 🤷♀️🤗❤️💯
How awesome! You have to do changes that work for you and your family. They may not make sense to 100% of your viewers but they aren't living your life. Enjoy having your family there and having help! I am so excited for you all and look forward to all you do.
That's awesome having family close.Its a little scary for me getting older and not having family near
Again thank you for your sharing your lives with us.
I'm no longer on a farm or ranch as those I worked have all passed. Memories are so lovely
You guys are fast! I watched the video yesterday then ordered the elderberry. It already has shipped! Great service!
♥️ God bless you

Love it! Bummed I won’t be able to stay at the bnb but it’s so great to see your family come back!
Love it! I wish my family was close like that!
Love watching you all ! Thank you 🙏
Lol...yeah we live in Southwest Kansas...drylands...lol
Yes...we never experienced winds anywhere like here...so much we hate it. We have sold our house and are moving to South Carolina in June....we tried for Kentucky but just couldn't find what we needed. Look forward to being back East.
Makes sense. With a guest house your attention is needed right away 24/7. You have too many fires. It's easier if you can schedule what to do when.
You guys are fun to watch. Thanks for posting videos.
Such amazing changes. I'm so happy for yall
I am happy for you all. Take care and enjoy your Mom.
Great to have family close
Very exciting times and so very happy for yawl! Kent and I love each of you and hope to someday meet yawl. God Bless!!
That is sooooo awesome how everything just fell into place for everyone ! GOD always has a plan for those HE loves !!!
So wonderful your family is close, the best. you ever think about RV hook ups, being that you no longer have the use of the cottage. Just a thought. continue success, love the videos
Jenn and Zach, set up an RV spot or two so people can bring their rvs and stay on farm still. Rent the spots. We would love to stop when we get on the road. :)
That is definitely a possibility!
Woohoo!!! Now you guys can all be close daily.
I had thought of the cottage for Mamaw. She will be comfortable there and a real asset to your business.
Very exciting Carol! Congratulations!
