"Do what you would do if you weren't afraid" is about the best advice that I have ever heard.
Justin & family, I being an Original 1970s Mother Earther, have waited a LOT of years to see this kind of event! Back then we were " smiled upon", as being well intentioned, but not relevant to how the world was unfolding. And now it appears the shoe is on the other foot. We held tight and live on our 350 acre working farm. It has brought us through the past two years in safety and abundance.
I'm happy and relieved to hear that you are healing Justin. Keep drinking that bone broth! God bless you for bringing this Homesteading message to so many! I am the youngest working our farm. We are doing well and grateful to keep healthy. From time to time I offer workshops to my neighbors who want to learn how to have an organic garden, small farm and live a rural country lifestyle. Classes are on site, outside, until our numbers improve in New Hampshire. May those who attended the conference, spread the word, far and wide!~ Diane
I'm almost 60 and Ive been feeling this since I was a little girl....and you know... I was alone....I am crying seeing this happen.....no one understood the importance....thank you.... I am keeping the faith and I wish I could do what YOU ALL ARE DOING ...my heart is crying but also bursting with joy
Awe me too Jill-e. I am 67 and feel the same. We were from a different generation, but we felt it but didn't know how to approach it. Time and ideas change and just like you I at least live a bit vicariously through the videos and also do a bit on my little home.
Rebecca is looking particularly young and glowing, wow, including/despite the rigors of travel! And Justine you are moving around like you are doing so well!
I'm so happy to see so many videos about HOA! We're still in lockdown and I'm literally in tears seeing so many people hug each other. What a wonderful collection of wonderful people. (you might not recognize my name on her since I got hacked and changed names on all my social stuff..I'm Veta Borysiuk, a long time fan of yours. Old enough to have grandkids but love the homesteading life and teaching the new generation the olds ways).
Congrats on your new book Justin! And so glad to see you’re doing better, God bless you!
I’m finally able to afford my homestead and I’m excited even at my late age of 55. I was raised on an Ohio farm as a young child and then on a small farm in California. So now it’s my turn to put use what I’ve learned from many homesteaders. I love to grow my own food, can my foods, and see the bounty as I teach others in m6 church to learn the “how to” of growing and canning your own food. Such a wonderful channel and I love y’all ✝️💕🇺🇸
Hey wishing you a wonderful time!!!
Never to old to live your dreams. God bless!
Boston Breeze- Hello from our farm in NH! You are correct. We are farming Grass-fed beef. We are all 70- something and going stong! ~ Diane
My husband and I have a farm my Dad deeded to me, but we can't stop working right now to do anything substantial. He and I are in our middle 50's as well. We think about all the what ifs. What if one of us gets sick and the other can't handle it..etc. I would love to quit my job and homestead full time. We are going to take it slow and keep up our garden and get some chickens in the spring to see where it goes. 😊. Good luck in your exciting new journey!
@@dianehall5345 Hi neighbor! That's awesome you are still farming! We only buy grass fed beef, its the best! Wish I had the land to raise my own. Maybe someday 🙂. God bless you!
Isn't it cool Fellowshipping with like-minded salt-of-the-earth folks gathering to enjoy the Blessings of good hard work! Young to elderly without a grain of malice between any of ya! Just wonderful to be able to share the gathering even at a distance! Thank you, Rhodes Family! : )
Been homesteading two years love it. We have 31 Boer goats, 400 chickens, 3 cats, and as of last week our first dog, a little stray mangy dog.
You know that hot and cold, tingly, fizzy feeling you get when HOPE RISES? That's what I got when I saw all those homesteaders in front of the stage! 💗
Thank you for plugging me! Y'all are an inspiration to so many! Can't wait to read the book💪
Just when I was wondering if any POC go to these types of events there was the young lady from Hood Steading. Going to subscribe now! 🏃♀️ Thanks Justin, blessings to you and your family.
It is so neat to meet our brothers and sisters from all over, fellowshipping together as one in the Lord. God is good!
Thanks Justin for putting me on this video!! I did pretty good filming at the member meet up for you. Nice shots! Met new friends and had a lot of fun!
Thank you for trusting me to film with your camera at the member meet up.
@@2Quacks5ClucksFarm - I'm glad you were able to help out. I wasn't interested in going to this event because Justin is the only channel that I follow.
Thanks Justin and Becky. This is amazing. People do not realize how much work it is, and 137 acres? WOW! This brought tears. Fantastic. Love from Ireland💚
The conference was amazing! It was great to see you guys again! Thanks for all you do to inspire so many of us! ❤
It was great to see Rory Feek's nephew, Michael Hunt. He is such a true inspiration of how he turned his life around.
Thanks so much for having us over for dinner! It was great to get to know you and your family better. Our kids had a blast with your kids, too. Looking forward to connecting again sometime in the future!
It’s so incredible how Jonah and Josiah navigate this so easy and with such familiarity 🙌🏼
It makes me so happy to see how much this event has grown. One of these days I'll make it out there to see all of your smiling faces in person!
What a great time this conference was! I got lucky the second day and a guy just sort of waved me into the vendor parking right next to the tents. It was great to meet you guys and to connect with so many others. I especially enjoyed the workshop with the Doughertys prior to the conference. I love their message of sustaining your homestead through the conversion of solar energy into grass into milk and manure with ruminants.
The conference was awesome and thank you both for all the wisdom that you passed along! Also, we made so many friends who live near us because of your lunch meeting for abundance plus members. Thank you for that!
My wife and I enjoyed your talk on Homestead Entrepreneurship. Thank you for sticking to the point and how to set goals and priorities. Some of the other speakers didn't do so well. This is the second time we've seen you & heard you speak. We did about 2 years ago too. We watch you guys all the time and just wanted to say thank you.
So great to see so many people wanting change. Young and old alike. Some probably don't recognize the importance they are playing on a big scale this can change the world if enough step up to the change. I wish this for my grandkids and your grandkids that will come. They deserve a free and better world to make choices in. Keep up the good work and God bless you all
So many awesome people in one place! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ We really enjoyed your talks and spent so much time discussing what was said while we drove home. (9 hours) You really challenged us. Thank you. ❤️
❤️So thankful that we could watch Justin (online) on Friday. We canceled our trip to Virginia because the whole family is really sick. We are HOA members & can’t wait to catch up on the rest of the talks later. Thank you for contributing so much to this amazing community!!
It was so good to see the entire family again. So glad you were feeling better for this weekend, it was so much fun. Blessings, Lisa #moneypithomestead
Justin, Rebekah and Family ~ Thank you for giving so much to this Homesteader Community ~ online and in person. You are Real People, with Real Answers ~ making mistakes and victories ~ and sharing your Story. Justin, I enjoyed the Forward you wrote in Joel's book, Polyface Micro, not realizing it was you. You write Living Words. Keep up the Good Works on Earth. Look forward to buying and reading your book, The Rooted Life.
Great to see other homesteaders from SC! We enjoyed the conference and seeing everyone’s videos.
It was wonderful to meet you guys at the HOA Conference. I enjoyed your entrepreneurial talk! Thank you for all you guys do. You are an inspiration to many! I pray often for your continued health improvement. Please keep up the great work! Thank you!
So nice to see homesteading growing. Looked like a lot of fun.
Thank you for posting videos of 2021 HOA conference for those of us who couldn't make it this year! Thanks for all you do for our community. Lord willing, I'll be there with my vending table in 2022!
Henry is crawling. He’s not going to be a baby much longer! Enjoy him little as long as you can.. great event
Warms my heart to all those young people at the conference.
It was amazing to see your family ! Can’t wait for the next.
New start homestead where are you located in in NY looking for land?
@@lawnmowermanofthefuture895 I bought 52 acres in KY.
Ok awesome congratulations and try for the response..
@@lawnmowermanofthefuture895 you are welcome and thank you!
I PRE-ORDERED!! We have been watching yall from to beginning and can't wait for your book! ❤
Awesome! The Hoodsteader affirmed my tiny urban garden in pots is worthwhile! Yay!
About speaking without getting a case of nerves... REMEMBER... you are not saying anything you would not say to each and every person in your audience face to face... this way, you get them all out of the way at once! For your line of sight, find people you know to look directly at and focus on... scatter them across the room so you can keep your eyes roving... I use Power Point a LOT.. and I will do a fine set of notes to follow as I'm showing with PP... usually about 6 pages of notes... and when I get done, I look down and find I'm on page two! By that time I am so into it, I just GO with it... The worst one was the Nov. before Covid at "The Sasquatch Summit"... I had been asked to do two presentations as one fellow could not make it at the last minute... and I started in... got it done... looked at my notes and found I had not even gotten the right page open!! The entire presentation was entirely from my mind...
Thank you for the tips, I have a really tough time speaking in front of people, I got work through that!
Nice peek at the conference. Thank you. Your all looking healthy too!
This weekend was so much fun. It was great to finally meet you face to face. Both you and Rebekah did a great job on your talks. Sue was thrilled to find so many ladies as deeply involved as their other half.
Aww wish I could have been there to enjoy the weekend with my people of like mind ... Love everything about this life that so many are joining in on now ... Let's hear it for the Homesteaders of America 🙌👏👏🥳👩🌾
Yay homesteading I’m not a big homesteader all I’ve got is three chickens but I have a little garden and that’s all I can do at 76
Shout out to Hood Steading! Awesome idea!
Great turn out. I long sometimes be in America and be able to meet all you wonderful people 🙏🇨🇦❤️
The amount of joy and hope this video brought me is astounding. God Bless!
Was talking with a friend this morning. My land is severely sloped (National Forest in a mountain range) with lots of rocks and erosion. We were throwing ideas around for putting in a natural bulkhead to catch erosion run-off, and to terrace my little section of the 10 acres I live on, before thinking about putting up buildings and getting a lot of livestock. Big rocks, for sure, to delineate the start of the terracing, and then judiciously placed branches and trunks of small trees which have to be thinned out, while planting seeds of vining plants/cover crops to develop the root systems necessary to stop erosion. Fall leaf raking can be "swept" over top of the piled up branches, and it will all compost down year after year. Most likely I would eventually get rabbits and put their hutches close to the terracing edge, because their droppings are great for composting and building up soil, just from sheer amount. Plus, I am partial to boxwood for a privacy hedge, so I know I'll be sticking cuttings in the ground, too.
Pleasure to meet you and the family.
Have a blast..you tube friends UNITE!!😊✌🏼🙏🏽
Wow..just happened upon your channel. ! Wonderful ! I am 58..been horse homesteading...aka run a farm off grid..homeschooled 4 kids when it was a booger. This makes me feel awesome! I would love to attend one of these events!
HOA was amazing!! Thank ya'll so much!!!
It was so great finally meeting you guys. It was definitely one of the highlights of the trip for me. Nate was so jealous I got to meet you and he didn't 😂. Hope to see you guys next year
I am glad to see all those young people at the conference. Saw a few of the people I follow on your video Justin, Doug and Stacy, The lady who has taken over Roots and refuge farm, another two couples who I do not remember their names. Wish I lived in America to meet you all. Have a great day.
it was so good to meet you at HOA THANK YOU FOR ALL YALL DO!!!
I enjoyed watching everybody that came out some first homesteader, some beginning, everybody was interesting friendly, happy GOD BLESS YUO ALL.
So Justin was the reason that they had to make an announcement not to pee on the grass? Makes sense 😂😂
Funny story - the line to get in was so long that a couple of people had to pee on the side of the road while waiting to get in
😂🤣😂🤣sitting here at home, I wondered if anyone took him up on that! We actually parked back there when we were there, handicap parking.
Now HOA(home owner association) is a no no for me....🤣 I am talking about the one that you have to pay and they don't give you anything in return... Now I know of another HOA(homesteaders of America) which I like and can stand behind it! Thanks for sharing Justin! God bless you guys! Hugs🤗💜🤗
It was wonderful getting to meet you at the event and to hear you speak! I look forward to the new book coming out.
…and very cool that you made it on Justin’s video! 👍
@@CelticRootsFarm it was pretty awesome that he recorded me, but I was so nervous! 😂🤦
It’s awesome to see so many of the you tubers that I watch all in one video
Thumbs up from the Dooleys of Michigan we invite you
Deer! Nice foggy morning and walk with Henry. This is really fun to see guys. I'm so glad to see this movement taking off. So many young families starting out from scratch to make their own homesteads. Some really old hands too. Amy! Putting Doug on the spot! Joel! Daniel too. Hoodsteady, White House on the Hill! I love the young kids in "Justin" wear too! If you join HOA at the $75 level (maybe $95 now), you have access to all the videos at all the HOA Conferences. Thanks for this guys!
Oh my goodness!!!! yall are so amazing. You have my new channel blowing up. You are a blessing in my life in so many ways and I thank God for you all. I am at a lost for words (and yall know I can talk) Thank you Justin, Rebekah & Baby.
Rebekah, if I do well, can you fix me some fried cabbage and beef short ribs with gravy and mashed potatoes 🥔,? Thank you. 😊 Smooches 😘♥
Best
-LaMonica aka,
the "Hoodsteading" newbie
Aww, I loved seeing my Jill from Whispering Willow!!! One day, I hope to go to the HOA. Thank you for showing some footage of it!
Loved Justin's talk Saturday but Rebekah you did amazing standing room only (well standing with strollers)
This makes me happy to see homesteaders everywhere.
Interesting seeing Michael Hunt out front talking with Justin instead of in the background at Marcy Jo's on Rory Feek's VLOGs.
Goodto see Jill from Whispering Willows & White House on the Hill & their new baby as well.
Hooray for the people with big familie vans! I have my 6th incoming filling up my own van. I'mma need a bigger van soon though :-p. Greets from homesteaders of Europe!
Snowball Gas Station is growing soo fast. Thanks for giving us a little insight into your day.
Check the ingredients in the hand sanitiser you’re using. Some of them are toxic for your liver. It’s great to see so many people taking up homesteading 👍🏼😊
Justin, I really do love how you take your babies, as babies, and instill in them a love for the beauty of Nature.
Now this was great! Thank you for sharing your experiences.
It was a blast. Cant wait to get your new book!
It is amazing how many people came. It is a beautiful thing.
Can’t wait add your book to my homesteading collection. 🤠
Yeah Jill. So happy to see you on Justin’s vlog. Love you. #whisperingwillowfarm
I LOVE seeing so many new homesteaders who share in this beautiful dream!!! We'll see you next year, for sure!!!
Nice to see a normal gathering
Pre-Ordered my book this morning! So excited
Shoutout to the apartment gardener, Hoodsteading!!
Great being there with you guys thanks for sharing.
Yes the line was so long! So glad I went and saw all of you there.
I live in the Bahamas and I want to start a homestead my self
You guys have figured out something to have so much energy! That is miraculous!
I bought my ticket for HOA this year and planned to go but I ended up moving to my new homestead the same week as the conference. My move went off the rails when I had to drive 2 hours to close in the middle of my move. I tried to close earlier but the seller refused. I spent most of the week dealing with moving issues and just couldn"t make it this year. I was disappointed but plan to become a VIP member and watch virtually.
Great event 🙌 see yall in 2022
Love how the cabin is going freak job Doug and team......
You aways talk about Henry being so strong. You could always call him Bam Bam for fun.
Looks like there was a good crowd . love watching you guys all the timel.
Blessings to all!
Glad yall got to go looks like you and everyone had alot of fun hoping I get to go next year!
Thrilled I got to meet Rebecca and thank her for her help but I never could get any where close to meet you. Lol. It was a wonderful weekend ❤️
Hello everyone
OMG What an awesome time your video offered me today. I took note of several things.. but I must say that I was pleased to hear one lady said "plant something" It doesn't matter whether you have an outdoor area or not. I have been growing GREENS indoor. Now I feel like I am part of you guys. :))
This is wonderful,,,,so many people getting into homesteading ,,,,so good , giving back to the environment, kudos to you too Justin !!! It's the videos ànd all the work you do !!¡
Thanks for sharing the Homesteaders event!! Love your family and all that you do!!! I also love "Whitehouse on the Hill" ;) What is the name of the you tube family that came to your home in a white van that had so many children? I found you thru "Roots and Refuge", love them too!! I've been watching your video's from way back in the beginning
Beautiful! Yall are an inspiration. I have recently just started a channel documenting my homesteading journey.
Congratulations and God bless you and your family
Had my tickets and hotel reservations for the drive from California. Lots of sh*t happened (can imagine during these times and living in Ca) but we tuned in to all the online attractions, and subbed to so many new Yt channels. We will be there for next year but even more.. This is a movement taking place; “gotta return to the past to help survive in the future.”
Love this community!😊
Thanks Justin for the compilation of the conference from your view . Can't imagine having to visit with ALL those people. Everyone looked like they were enjoying themselves. Glad you got to go .
Great to see you all at the event!
I am so glad that the HOA event was so successful for the organization. I live 40 minutes from there and I took a Thursday Rabbit class with Jeremy Chambers. That day was absolutely great. But I waited 1.5 hours to pull into the parking area. I waited 45 minutes after parking to get my bracelet. The lines for the bathroom were hundreds of people long and even though I was a VIP upgrade and was supposed to be able to sit in a sat for each lecture. I could not even get close to the tents! I was aggravated, exhausted, could not go to the bathroom or get food due to lines. I was so underwhelmed by the crowds, I ended up leaving and not coming back. I did not get my moneys worth. I could not learn anything and even FIND anything. No one seemed to know anything when I asked for info at the front desk. Very disappointing. It is hard to justify the money spent on a limited income.
Finally the comments are on! I’ve been wanting to tell you to look into boron deficiencies and arthritis!!! It’s been life changing for me.
