I have never commented on a RUclips video before...but, WOW - I just had to - the last 8 minutes about you guys speaking about God's plan for you, being stewards of the land, creating a legacy while acknowledging that you may be creating someone else's dream / legacy. Good for you guys...seriously...the world needs more people like the two of you!
Yes to this! I was just getting discharged with our farm and husband telling me he did not see us living here forever.... I was shocked and didn't want to continue all the hard work. But hearing this opened my eyes.
Your worried about the video being boring, but no matter what the subject matter, it kinda just feels like hanging out with you guys and seeing how your doing. Its an enjoyable part of many peoples day. Thank you for putting out daily videos.
This is a first view for me, I think you guys are great. I was raised on a small Georgia farm and this was a way of life for me. I am now approaching 82 years old so I can appreciate what you guys are trying to accomplish.! I say "go far it, you both have what it takes., As long as you have the Lord on your side, you're OKAY- DO IT! Best of luck"!!
That is true. I've never seen this video. I liked Jesse's smile, your cheeks and calm patience, cute colorful tops, you're look at life and Jesus. Then I knew where your peace came from. I didn't see Miah till you were at a show/conference for Heirloom seeds (can't think their name) seeds. Any way you have been an encouragement for to me.
I just love what you guys said about building a legacy for anyone who comes along after you, not just for your immediate family. I'm developing my single acre of land into a teeny little microfarm and I'm building off of other people's legacies who have tended this land before me with great love and dedication. They planted fruit trees and now I'm harvesting from what they planted. They built outbuildings that I use now. Just the other day I was digging up a new area to turn into planting beds and I uncovered a bunch of sweet little craft projects that might be 50 or 60 years old, for all I can tell--cement plaques covered with kids' handprints and names and one with blue glass set into it that says "Mom." Nature reclaimed these sweet memories of a prior family that lived here, and I rediscovered them, and instantly felt the love and commitment that family put into the property that is now mine to care for.
I'm looking 60 years on this Earth dead in the face. I've started over many times already. I actually cherish each and every fresh start. Sometimes it does make you feel exhausted just to think about starting over, but then you do start and it is invigorating. OH! The possibilities! And armed with the knowledge gained from before, you do it better and better each time. I'm getting to the time of my life where such reinvention and renewal is most precious. I hope you two lovely young folk have many more fresh starts to come. I hope you can savor and embrace them. I think you can and will. Bless you and your family.
This comment was what I needed to hear this morning.. I homestead-ed my heart through the mudd here in Tennessee .. my first flock of 16 hens and 4 Roosters found lifeless in their coop... my baby boy Rooster (the Prince) was the only one to survive seeing as he always broke out away from the flock at night to roost on the roof. The older Rooster Senior Pyschock ...well he never was even found or seen again.. all the others just lay in piles of feathers. No blood. Just bodies. I still blame myself for getting in too deep, not financially speaking but emotionally. Anyone can leave the gate unlocked but I still cannot eat chicken that I seen prepared. And I’m a fatty. Idk of my heart never hardened from becoming a real parent or if I’m just not suitable for having that many living creatures rely on my ability to latch the gate behind myself. :/
Rachel Murray You made a mistake, neglected a task. An important task. Get over it. You are human. It happens. No time for pity parties, only time for owning and learning from your mistakes. Bet you don’t repeat it. You have choices. Keep growing and learning, or just give up. For me, it hurts more to give up. I’m feeling it’s the same for you. Moving forward from this doesn’t mean you don’t care. It doesn’t mean you have a heart of stone. It means you are a work in progress. The operative word being progress. Don’t let all those little lost lives be in vain. Make each and every one of those lives serve a worthy purpose. Learning to be a caring, responsible, knowledgeable steward of your small corner of this world is a worthy goal. Producing and feeding yourself and your family wholesome food is a worthy and honorable endeavor. You and your family are worthy people that deserve this. Honor the plants and animals that feed you by living honorable lives filled with worthy endeavors. Anyway, that’s how I look at it. I hope things improve for you.
Salvaged from my 3 -generation flock) take those beautiful gems and make a big dream catcher or anything I want but just make the best of what I have left of that legacy and move the **** on with my one Prince......: ...The one Prince who’s been integrated into a friends flock for the time being. They of course told us to take our time -our Boy would be ready to come back home if/when we was ready to start anew. Even said he’d donate whichever favorite lady friends our young man happens to make. Lord ...my little boy’s probably done become a man by now. :O I think I’ll go make myself a drink. It’s 5 o’clock. AM/ PM was never specified! :/
Hearing you two talk about the not forever home meant a lot to me. This is something I struggle with often on our 4 acres. It is hard to stay motivated sometimes, when I am digging and planting trees, or just putting so much blood and sweat into something, and think I may never reap the rewards. Thank you for putting it in a different light.
The more I watch and learn about the two of you, the more I love and admire you both!! You are amazing!!! Thank you for saving those beautiful horses, and for the tour of your beautiful homestead!!!
Really liked this video; maybe do four times a year, one for each season. Having dreams of bigger and better keeps us going through life, even the dreams that don't come to fruition. But you have made your dreams goals, and there's nothing you can't accomplish!
Big dreams! All the work that you put into that homestead and you know it’s not your forever home says a lot.... Made me think of “This world is not my home, I’m here but for a moment...” The Lord has been teaching me to hold loosely to the things of this world and to store up treasures in heaven. I think when we have that perspective and willing hearts- God can do great things in our lives. ♥️
Your videos are my favourite homesteading videos. They are NEVER boring. I admire all your efforts and am envious of your accomplishments. I am 69 and a widow and my time for doing what you’re doing has passed but I can dream. Thank you for all your efforts. Blessed be.
I envy you, when I was younger I spent my time teaching high school, a small garden 2 boys and helped my husband in his veterinarian clinic. I'm also an amputee from motorcycle accident in the army. Now I'm retired I have chickens and setting up some raised beds, but just don't have energy for more by myself. So I enjoy watching y'all do all the things I can't. Have a great day God Bless!
Jess and Miah- I'm looking at this video in June 2020, knowing that you've expanded SO MUCH this year and giggle at "I don't think we're going to start anything new here." XD
I was so surprised when I heard Jeremiah say at the beginning I am Miah. My youngest son is also a Jeremiah and from the day he was born we called him Miah. I am older than you and 10 years ago we moved onto our dream place. I have worked as hard as I can to make it the place we can leave to our grandchildren but your comment about leaving a legacy for someone really struck home with me. I wish I could do everything I want but due to several back surgeries I am slow at getting things done but by the grace of God it is changing to the place that is my current dream.
I followed your channel because I'm new to gardening, and it's really good, but it also a great channel for making me smile. I love the farm and how you guys are family orientated. thanks.
Nick Musselle that was me too. I started following the channel for some tomato advice. I instantly connected with her and enjoy her sweet authentic spirit and I really enjoyed getting to see more of the farm. Again, very sweet and authentic. It was like I was just hanging out with them.
I just started watching her todsy. I have learned so many new things that in all my years of dabbling in gardening...I didn't know. Like running my beds east to west so if I use panels they won't cause shade. And the arch trellises. And I really really want a greenhouse someday.
Okay, I've admired you two since the beginning of this year, which made me start my first large backyard garden. I have fallen in love with tomatoes (that I literally hated the taste before) while learning from your daily vlogs. Now I learn you also are into 'rescue horses' from the slaughter farms. That is one of my most important passions!🐎❤🙏 You unexpectedly put me into tears when I saw and heard what you are doing for these beautiful creatures from God😢😢❤🐎🙏🙏🙏 Love you guys so much. So much respect to you. It's been such a horrible year with losing my sister in January but you both have been able to direct my sadness and steer it towards something positive and promising. Even though it was just about food, there was something else there that has pulled me out of my sadness and is helping me not feel guilty to smile or laugh once again. I truly respect and love you all and I just wanted to thank you for that. God bless you and your family and those beautiful horses🤗❤🐎🙏
Awesome that you have rescue horses. One night, I helped along with several other facebook people, everyone donating to beat a 3 or 4 hour time limit to rescue a pregnant horse. So glad for people who take them. Donkeys are adorable and protective and pretty smart! Love them
Thank you for talking about your home not being a forever place. We are currently in a rental with permission to garden on an acre. I put in trees and perrenials and swales but know that it can be a blessing for another family if we never purchase this property or find something we want that is bigger.
If you learn how to splice and root your favorite trees, you can take them along with cut perennials to your forever home! We've done that through three homes and now have a part of our first home together! Legacy...
What always amazes me is that creation groans because of sin, yet look at all the beautiful animals and plants around us. Just imagine how truly beautiful all will be when Christ returns! Can you even imagine a truly perfect alpaca or horse seen through perfect eyes? And imagine the taste and smell of God's perfect tomato. And what about the millions of delicious plants we know nothing about? WOW ! To God be the glory! I love the way God teaches us every day through hardships and blessings. How He leads us in our journey through all seasons. And I love your humble attitude, unashamedly trusting in God to provide - and your willingness to put in the effort for your family and others. And, lastly, I love how He uses you to encourage me!
Not only that but to have the reproach upon God's good name be removed. To enjoy all the good things Jehovah has in-store for us. To have us share with our loved ones, including those that have fallen asleep in death, and will be resurrected to live forever under Jehovah's perfect kingdom rule here on the Earth. These are the promises made by Jehovah God for all righteous people. All because of the priceless gift of his son's ransom sacrifice.
Anna O'Neill, How wonderful that we don't EVER have to rely on our own righteousness. Romans 3:10&11says, "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understands, there is none that seeks after God." Praise God that our Lord Jesus covers all who believe in Him with His precious blood. He paid the full price for our sins and still calls us to Him. He promises salvation to ALL who believe in Him. Ephesians 2:8 says, "For it is by his grace that we have been saved through faith, and this faith was not from you, but it is the gift of God," It is pure joy to look forward to the day when Christ returns and rules as our King and Priest. He promised a new heaven and a new earth. And every promise He makes comes to pass. We can't praise Him enough!
I watch your videos like a TV series! I’m so ready to start my garden again and you guys just keep me so motivated! Thank you for sharing your lifestyle!
For me, watching your videos is a form of worship. You portray goodness, and it reminds me daily of Gods goodness, and grace. The pure love you put into your homestead whether it is your forever or someone else’s forever you give it your all, and I love that. You are both an inspiration for me🙏 thank you
Great video; wonderful property; beautiful dreams to come true!! My husband and I have started our home again numerous times as we moved around this country. Each location better and bigger than the last. Keep the vision alive!!
Definitely not boring...there's something about the way you guys are so real in sharing your thoughts and letting us see all of the plans, the mistakes (not really mistakes..., but learning.), but the changes you make and why you made them...it's hard to explain, but I don't find the same genuineness (is that a word?) with other people doing videos. Having said that...yes please continue sharing your honest day to day life. It's very refreshing and somehow it brings me peace. Love you guys!
I’m watching this a second time and it warms my heart to know that your dreams are coming true and possibly greater than you imagined at this moment. ❤
Actually, quarterly is a great idea. Just like the Smoky Mountains that you really don't get to know unless you see it during all four seasons. Four seasons on the homestead might just be educational for many.
I'm in Cabot and I cant tell you how great I think these videos are. It is so great to hear directly from someone fighting the Arkansas weather in their garden. I have watched almost all of your videos this weekend and I cant lie, I am totally googly eyed over your garden and what you have done over the years!
I am so jealous of you two. That was always my dream of owning a farm and rescuing animals. Owned an appaloosa gelding and loved the freedom of riding in the wind. Thank you for sharing your lovely farm and all the wonderful animals.
Please do more of the full homestead tours. I really enjoyed it. And your open discussion that this is not your forever home but you still put your full heart and soul into it has helped me to view my home differently. Once I heard you say that, I felt a release of stress over something that has been bothering me about my current situation. I want to thank you for that.
Just came over from Hollar Homestead after seeing Jeremiah busy helping Ben and Meg...new subscriber today!!! I LOVE alpacas!!! One of the things I saw was that y'all have devotional time which I feel is absolutely necessary...God is so good all the time and keeping Him first is a priority so that really drew me to y'all. I will probably be doing some binging...😂😂😂 Blessings to y'all from Tennessee...☝️❤☝️
You guys are the worst judges of what we'll think is boring 😊😂 we love this stuff! We get to hang out with two, see the animals, see what you've done and hope to do, join you in dreaming and praying for the future and laugh. You don't have to do this weekly like the garden tour but it's great seeing a full homestead update.
I thought we would see some drone action?? Mia you need to step your game up on that beast and show us some aerial view! lol Thanks for the tour. Yall have a blessed day!!!!!!!
Jess, please email me whenever you get a new video. I like to forward them to my family members. Thanks and God bless you and your family and all of your animals. You brighten the corner where you are.
Trust me when I say these videoes are good. We get to live vicariously through and sometimes you light a spark in us. I think these videoes every 6 months would be perfect. Im shocked you dont want to stay their forever but wherever you go, I will follow, so long as you take us.
Anyone else gonna miss Journey pig? I loved seeing her pop up in random places and not where she's supposed to be in the vlogs, but I understand the inconvenience. I love the vid nonetheless
Awe journey pig... We all will miss her but understand the issue and sounds like she will have an awesome new home being his first animals she will get ALL the attention she loves
Bear with us. We don't see this everyday and an overview is VERY nice ! I agree that four seasons lend themselves to showing changes. You two are inspiring.
I love the way that you two are working together, and enjoying each other's dreams. I can't imagine the feed bills of so many different critters. Great videos, and best of luck.
Jess Now that your revamping the chicken yard, Becky’s homestead has a Awesome chicken yard . I watch her regularly as you and Jerimiah God Bless you both Linda from Ct
A friend had a Great Dane who seemed to think she was a tiny little bird. She tried to sit in my lap, when you looked at her she gave an expression like, 'How can you even see me?' I am so little.' Around other dogs she loped around with lots of enthusiasm and no dexterity, nearly stumbling over her giant happy tongue. She was great at visiting shut-ins and hospital wards as a certified dog who does that kind of thing. Thanks for showing the horses. They are gorgeous.
I enjoyed this “overview” very much. Sometimes it’s difficult to orient the different areas to each other. It would be cool to see a birds eye view of your homestead in the form of something as simple as a drawn map or better still footage from that drone ya’all have. 😍 Thanks for sharing. BTW, my garden consists of three itsy raised beds and scattered pots so I love dreaming via Roots&Refuge. Keep these great videos coming! #notboring
I'm looking for my first property, and have been stressing out about finding a place where I could live for the rest of my life. Your comments at the end of this video helped me see it completely differently. I think it's beautiful how you consider what your work will offer the whole community - not just your own family. Thanks for reminding me that we are all connected, that we can't always see the extent of our actions, and that we are able to change and adapt. I'm a new subscriber and will be watching many videos in the next months. Be well!
Ya'll make my heart long for the day when I will have my own property. Talking about God leading you to your forever property, makes me think "hurry up God, I really want this." God's lesson in patience!
I love your tours, I'd watch you do laundry actually. You, HH, VW, Single Dad, Pine Knot, Stivers and Morgan's podcasts are my chill time :-) OK, I was a single parent for years, I enjoy my chill time hahahaha!
Yes PLEASE keep doing your full tour videos. For those of us who are 'late to the table', it's a great way to see what you have accomplished thus far & how your farm is progressing and changing. Great job! Thank you for sharing. ✌❤
Love your family and goals. May God continue to bless you. It was awesome to see your full farm. Couple times a week would be nice. You and your children are so inspiring to so many.
You are both such an inspiration!!!! I can't even describe how light and glad and HOPEFUL you make my heart!!! I pray that you receive your 100 acres so I can continue to learn and be blessed by you both for many years to come
Not boring! A delight, and the tour the place with both of you. Fun to hear your humor, J. Love your attitude about learning and building up something without attachment. Providing something for children and grandchildren is Biblical, but you are doing it by being faithful and good stewards.
Definitely one of my favorite type of vlogs, an all around the farm tour with detailed explanations. I have learned a lot from you both and appreciate your dedication and hard work. Thank you for everything you do. God bless. It is Gods work and your legacy will forever bless others. Glory to God!
Love watching your older videos, where you talk about your legacy and your plans for the future. Especially when we are seeing the fulfilment of so many of those dreams, now in 2022. It fills my heart with so much joy to see how God has blessed you, as you boldly follow his plans.
What an awesome couple the two of you make. God is good all the time, it's so wonderful that you have placed Him first in your life. Legacy planning is hard for most, yet we're called to remember our children's grandchildren. May God Almighty continue to bless you .
Y'all are such an inspiration! This video is definitely one my favorites. Seeing y'all grow on RUclips and in the homestead means so much to people thinking "how could I even do that?" lol. Y'all had me cracking up. So happy for the goals y'all accomplished. Just keep doing what y'all do!!
Thanks for the tour! How important is organizing your homestead? How do you prioritize your farm chore time and family chore time? I grew up having a chore list for the house to be done before anything outside. Do you have a routine and do your children have daily/weekly chores in the home and on the homestead? I love to hear your work ethics. I Love the updates. Wish I had more time to ask questions. ❤️🌱
Love this video...seeing and hearing about your dreams and how you are working with God to have them come true. Yes, they are fulfilling your hearts desires, but in your obedience and honoring of God, they are truly giving Him the glory. Thank you for the godly example you give to me, other believers and those God is still seeking as He reveals Himself through you. You inspire me in so many ways. 🙏🏼💕
i would love to see more farm update tours. also, theres NOTHING wrong with dreaming big! please do NOT be hesitant and reluctant to talk about selling your property in the future. Dream big! " turn your waiting room into your classroom" YASS!! love that.
As God shows you the way, you listen and follow. When the new place is ready and you are made ready, it will happen, in God's Time! It is funny that you bring it up but I have not seen this as your final place either, I realized it when you said it and was not surprised. 🙏💕HE has bigger plans for you!
I love you guys. Your energy and love for life is infectious. Thank you for being real and showing people that dreams are obtainable, changable and organic when God is at the centre...
In my opinion Jersey cows get the best sweetest milk there is are the most timid cows and very personable... We had the smaller jerseys and they were just our babies.... Be blessed.. BBE 👍 👍🤗 🤗🤗 🤗🙏 🙏🙏 ♥️🙏 🙏♥️
I used a rabbit feeder with a hardware cloth insert to keep it from coming down too quick, as my quail feeder. I also used big rabbit waterers, which they learn quickly how to drink from, and it keeps the water cleaner. God Bless You guys! ♥️😍🙏🏻
I have never commented on a RUclips video before...but, WOW - I just had to - the last 8 minutes about you guys speaking about God's plan for you, being stewards of the land, creating a legacy while acknowledging that you may be creating someone else's dream / legacy. Good for you guys...seriously...the world needs more people like the two of you!
Yes to this! I was just getting discharged with our farm and husband telling me he did not see us living here forever.... I was shocked and didn't want to continue all the hard work. But hearing this opened my eyes.
"This is Bill and he stands by the fence and looks at the ladies all day" lol
I thought that was funny too 😂
As lo g as he’s just lookin’😎
U guys at the best.
Change his name to Randy.
Your worried about the video being boring, but no matter what the subject matter, it kinda just feels like hanging out with you guys and seeing how your doing. Its an enjoyable part of many peoples day. Thank you for putting out daily videos.

I agree! That’s exactly what I was going to say. :-)
heinkristen1 this sums it up so perfectly!
Kristen H DITTO!
AGREED!
I love the stewardship mentality. If you are faithful with little, God will give you much. God bless y’all.
That is true. I've never seen this video. I liked Jesse's smile, your cheeks and calm patience, cute colorful tops, you're look at life and Jesus. Then I knew where your peace came from. I didn't see Miah till you were at a show/conference for Heirloom seeds (can't think their name) seeds.
Any way you have been an encouragement for to me.
It is not a junk yard, it is a vital HOMESTEAD RESOURCE YARD.
every homestead needs a resource yard!! I have one as well.
I completely agree, one mans trash is (another) a resourceful mans treasure.
Absolutely keep sharing it all ,love the rescue horses miss the good old days of my 12 .
I like to call ours "the boneyard" :)
I like the renaming of the “junkyard”.
I just love what you guys said about building a legacy for anyone who comes along after you, not just for your immediate family.
I'm developing my single acre of land into a teeny little microfarm and I'm building off of other people's legacies who have tended this land before me with great love and dedication. They planted fruit trees and now I'm harvesting from what they planted. They built outbuildings that I use now. Just the other day I was digging up a new area to turn into planting beds and I uncovered a bunch of sweet little craft projects that might be 50 or 60 years old, for all I can tell--cement plaques covered with kids' handprints and names and one with blue glass set into it that says "Mom." Nature reclaimed these sweet memories of a prior family that lived here, and I rediscovered them, and instantly felt the love and commitment that family put into the property that is now mine to care for.
Aww! I can't wait to have property to hopefully find lost memories on!
🥰
You can see the love in the way your husband looks at you. It’s precious. God bless ❤️
Laura Martian I noticed the same thing. You all are great together as well making videos.
I noticed that too. ❤️
I noticed this also 💛💛

I still blame myself for getting in too deep, not financially speaking but emotionally. Anyone can leave the gate unlocked but I still cannot eat chicken that I seen prepared. And I’m a fatty.

Lord ...my little boy’s probably done become a man by now. :O
I think I’ll go make myself a drink. It’s 5 o’clock.
AM/ PM was never specified! :/
Maybe someone else is working on a legacy for you to take over. Full circle. 100 acres of homestead that you just haven't found yet.
I agree. Being good stewards of this property and learning all the ways of keeping it prosperous to prepare for the next.
amanda brigham l.
This comment is old but it made me tear up.
Hearing you two talk about the not forever home meant a lot to me. This is something I struggle with often on our 4 acres.

You may be setting someone up for an awesome place but someone else may be setting their place up for you. Thanks for sharing. Rhonda
Really liked this video; maybe do four times a year, one for each season.
Having dreams of bigger and better keeps us going through life, even the dreams that don't come to fruition. But you have made your dreams goals, and there's nothing you can't accomplish!
Yes I believe that's a great idea four times a year change of the Season change of plans good good thoughts
April Anonymous yes ☺️
I didn't read the comments before commenting, and I suggested seasonally too.
April Anonymous that’s a great idea
Anyway, you said you go there all the time reworking the ideas, so yes, take us along whenever ya do!
"Alpacas feel like carpet."
That needs to be on a shirt.
Big dreams! All the work that you put into that homestead and you know it’s not your forever home says a lot....
Made me think of “This world is not my home, I’m here but for a moment...”
The Lord has been teaching me to hold loosely to the things of this world and to store up treasures in heaven. I think when we have that perspective and willing hearts- God can do great things in our lives. ♥️
Your videos are my favourite homesteading videos. They are NEVER boring. I admire all your efforts and am envious of your accomplishments. I am 69 and a widow and my time for doing what you’re doing has passed but I can dream. Thank you for all your efforts. Blessed be.
Thank you Lisa ♥️
The alpaca sweet faces and eyes remind me of Falcor on Neverending Story :)
I have a dog named falkor ! Haha
Wow! Now that you say that!
I envy you, when I was younger I spent my time teaching high school, a small garden 2 boys and helped my husband in his veterinarian clinic. I'm also an amputee from motorcycle accident in the army. Now I'm retired I have chickens and setting up some raised beds, but just don't have energy for more by myself. So I enjoy watching y'all do all the things I can't. Have a great day God Bless!
It’s never boring to those of us who are still waiting for our dream! Please keep these coming!
Kevin from Living Traditions Homestead did a video on a quail feeder he built to keep the mess down and not waste as much food.
I saw that and was thinking the same thing as I watched Miah talking about it.
I just wrote a comment that said the same!
I was also thinking the same thing. Here is the link of the first video he did on Quail feeders ruclips.net/video/UAEX3Km1yw8/видео.html
G'Maw's Garden me too!
Cause that feed is crazy pricey. Need to minimize the waste.
Jess and Miah- I'm looking at this video in June 2020, knowing that you've expanded SO MUCH this year and giggle at "I don't think we're going to start anything new here." XD
I was so surprised when I heard Jeremiah say at the beginning I am Miah. My youngest son is also a Jeremiah and from the day he was born we called him Miah. I am older than you and 10 years ago we moved onto our dream place. I have worked as hard as I can to make it the place we can leave to our grandchildren but your comment about leaving a legacy for someone really struck home with me. I wish I could do everything I want but due to several back surgeries I am slow at getting things done but by the grace of God it is changing to the place that is my current dream.
And your raising your children to have the wonderful knowledge of farming, gardening, homesteading and more. So wonderful! Enjoy your videos.
I followed your channel because I'm new to gardening, and it's really good, but it also a great channel for making me smile. I love the farm and how you guys are family orientated. thanks.
Nick Musselle that was me too. I started following the channel for some tomato advice. I instantly connected with her and enjoy her sweet authentic spirit and I really enjoyed getting to see more of the farm. Again, very sweet and authentic. It was like I was just hanging out with them.
I just started watching her todsy. I have learned so many new things that in all my years of dabbling in gardening...I didn't know. Like running my beds east to west so if I use panels they won't cause shade. And the arch trellises. And I really really want a greenhouse someday.
I love all your videos with your plants self help animals garden kids I love it all!
Okay, I've admired you two since the beginning of this year, which made me start my first large backyard garden. I have fallen in love with tomatoes (that I literally hated the taste before) while learning from your daily vlogs. Now I learn you also are into 'rescue horses' from the slaughter farms. That is one of my most important passions!🐎❤🙏 You unexpectedly put me into tears when I saw and heard what you are doing for these beautiful creatures from God😢😢❤🐎🙏🙏🙏 Love you guys so much. So much respect to you. It's been such a horrible year with losing my sister in January but you both have been able to direct my sadness and steer it towards something positive and promising. Even though it was just about food, there was something else there that has pulled me out of my sadness and is helping me not feel guilty to smile or laugh once again. I truly respect and love you all and I just wanted to thank you for that. God bless you and your family and those beautiful horses🤗❤🐎🙏

@@swarmina Thank you :)
You guys are the definition of a power couple...relationship goals.
“It makes YOU exhausted?? I built all this stuff and now I have to build it again!” 😅😅😅😂😂😂
Just what I needed to hear when I'm questioning why I'm putting so much work into my "waiting" room. Thank you. Good work.
You two are truly amazing people and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Have a great day.
Awesome that you have rescue horses. One night, I helped along with several other facebook people, everyone donating to beat a 3 or 4 hour time limit to rescue a pregnant horse. So glad for people who take them. Donkeys are adorable and protective and pretty smart! Love them
Thank you for talking about your home not being a forever place. We are currently in a rental with permission to garden on an acre. I put in trees and perrenials and swales but know that it can be a blessing for another family if we never purchase this property or find something we want that is bigger.
If you learn how to splice and root your favorite trees, you can take them along with cut perennials to your forever home! We've done that through three homes and now have a part of our first home together! Legacy...
My partner and I are about to do the same - thanks for sharing
Watching in 2024. Still watching your plans and dreams.❤❤❤❤
What always amazes me is that creation groans because of sin, yet look at all the beautiful animals and plants around us. Just imagine how truly beautiful all will be when Christ returns! Can you even imagine a truly perfect alpaca or horse seen through perfect eyes? And imagine the taste and smell of God's perfect tomato. And what about the millions of delicious plants we know nothing about? WOW !
To God be the glory!
I love the way God teaches us every day through hardships and blessings. How He leads us in our journey through all seasons. And I love your humble attitude, unashamedly trusting in God to provide - and your willingness to put in the effort for your family and others.
And, lastly, I love how He uses you to encourage me!
well said...
I agree 100%. I can't wait to see everything through my new eyes and body!!! Simply to be able to behold Jesus!
Not only that but to have the reproach upon God's good name be removed. To enjoy all the good things Jehovah has in-store for us. To have us share with our loved ones, including those that have fallen asleep in death, and will be resurrected to live forever under Jehovah's perfect kingdom rule here on the Earth. These are the promises made by Jehovah God for all righteous people. All because of the priceless gift of his son's ransom sacrifice.
What, exactly, is He waiting for?
Anna O'Neill, How wonderful that we don't EVER have to rely on our own righteousness. Romans 3:10&11says, "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understands, there is none that seeks after God."
Praise God that our Lord Jesus covers all who believe in Him with His precious blood.
He paid the full price for our sins and still calls us to Him. He promises salvation to ALL who believe in Him.
Ephesians 2:8 says, "For it is by his grace that we have been saved through faith, and this faith was not from you, but it is the gift of God,"
It is pure joy to look forward to the day when Christ returns and rules as our King and Priest. He promised a new heaven and a new earth. And every promise He makes comes to pass.
We can't praise Him enough!
I watch your videos like a TV series! I’m so ready to start my garden again and you guys just keep me so motivated! Thank you for sharing your lifestyle!
Turn your waiting room into your classroom... love that.
For me, watching your videos is a form of worship. You portray goodness, and it reminds me daily of Gods goodness, and grace. The pure love you put into your homestead whether it is your forever or someone else’s forever you give it your all, and I love that. You are both an inspiration for me🙏 thank you
Great video; wonderful property; beautiful dreams to come true!! My husband and I have started our home again numerous times as we moved around this country. Each location better and bigger than the last. Keep the vision alive!!
Definitely not boring...there's something about the way you guys are so real in sharing your thoughts and letting us see all of the plans, the mistakes (not really mistakes..., but learning.), but the changes you make and why you made them...it's hard to explain, but I don't find the same genuineness (is that a word?) with other people doing videos. Having said that...yes please continue sharing your honest day to day life. It's very refreshing and somehow it brings me peace. Love you guys!
I found out that if you only keep one or two, the quails can be really sweet and attached to you
I’m watching this a second time and it warms my heart to know that your dreams are coming true and possibly greater than you imagined at this moment. ❤
Farm tours every month or quarterly would be great. I love watching all your videos you share. I learn so much.
Actually, quarterly is a great idea. Just like the Smoky Mountains that you really don't get to know unless you see it during all four seasons. Four seasons on the homestead might just be educational for many.
@@lonelyprepperhomestead911 that is very true. I agree.
I'm in Cabot and I cant tell you how great I think these videos are. It is so great to hear directly from someone fighting the Arkansas weather in their garden. I have watched almost all of your videos this weekend and I cant lie, I am totally googly eyed over your garden and what you have done over the years!
I am so jealous of you two. That was always my dream of owning a farm and rescuing animals. Owned an appaloosa gelding and loved the freedom of riding in the wind. Thank you for sharing your lovely farm and all the wonderful animals.
Still can happen
Please do more of the full homestead tours. I really enjoyed it. And your open discussion that this is not your forever home but you still put your full heart and soul into it has helped me to view my home differently. Once I heard you say that, I felt a release of stress over something that has been bothering me about my current situation. I want to thank you for that.
Your horses are beautiful! So happy you saved them.
Just came over from Hollar Homestead after seeing Jeremiah busy helping Ben and Meg...new subscriber today!!! I LOVE alpacas!!! One of the things I saw was that y'all have devotional time which I feel is absolutely necessary...God is so good all the time and keeping Him first is a priority so that really drew me to y'all. I will probably be doing some binging...😂😂😂 Blessings to y'all from Tennessee...☝️❤☝️
Also Jess, your voice is very soothing. You could record stories and such.
You guys are the worst judges of what we'll think is boring 😊😂 we love this stuff! We get to hang out with two, see the animals, see what you've done and hope to do, join you in dreaming and praying for the future and laugh. You don't have to do this weekly like the garden tour but it's great seeing a full homestead update.
I feel like once a season is a great pace for updates! I love this content
Whatever happens with that property, this channel is a fantastic legacy that is sowing into many. Thank you and bless you xxx 😘
I thought we would see some drone action?? Mia you need to step your game up on that beast and show us some aerial view! lol Thanks for the tour. Yall have a blessed day!!!!!!!
2 1/2 Acresthst would be nice but I love what they are doing
Jess, please email me whenever you get a new video. I like to forward them to my family members. Thanks and God bless you and your family and all of your animals. You brighten the corner where you are.
Did you say “regretless grief”. Because I just love that. Life can be that. Love can be that. Pets, certainly. ❤️
Trust me when I say these videoes are good. We get to live vicariously through and sometimes you light a spark in us. I think these videoes every 6 months would be perfect. Im shocked you dont want to stay their forever but wherever you go, I will follow, so long as you take us.
Anyone else gonna miss Journey pig? I loved seeing her pop up in random places and not where she's supposed to be in the vlogs, but I understand the inconvenience. I love the vid nonetheless
Awe journey pig... We all will miss her but understand the issue and sounds like she will have an awesome new home being his first animals she will get ALL the attention she loves
My best friend & I can NOT get enough of your videos! I am trying to absorb all the information I can! You are the best!! This channel is AMAZING!!
Absolutely love your channel, beyond others channels. This is so beautiful, just perfect 💓
Bear with us. We don't see this everyday and an overview is VERY nice ! I agree that four seasons lend themselves to showing changes. You two are inspiring.
I love the way that you two are working together, and enjoying each other's dreams. I can't imagine the feed bills of so many different critters. Great videos, and best of luck.
One beehive can produce 200 lbs of honey a year, nice to have as a business or as a hobby . God bless you on everything you're doing.
Jess
Now that your revamping the chicken yard, Becky’s homestead has a Awesome chicken yard .
I watch her regularly as you and Jerimiah
God Bless you both
Linda from Ct
A friend had a Great Dane who seemed to think she was a tiny little bird. She tried to sit in my lap, when you looked at her she gave an expression like, 'How can you even see me?' I am so little.' Around other dogs she loped around with lots of enthusiasm and no dexterity, nearly stumbling over her giant happy tongue. She was great at visiting shut-ins and hospital wards as a certified dog who does that kind of thing. Thanks for showing the horses. They are gorgeous.
I love these kinds of videos! Relaxed and real and full of endless potential ❤️
So glad I happened upon this video. You guys are genuine and haven't changed that over the years. Love you guys!!
I enjoyed this “overview” very much. Sometimes it’s difficult to orient the different areas to each other. It would be cool to see a birds eye view of your homestead in the form of something as simple as a drawn map or better still footage from that drone ya’all have. 😍 Thanks for sharing. BTW, my garden consists of three itsy raised beds and scattered pots so I love dreaming via Roots&Refuge. Keep these great videos coming! #notboring
We LOVE, love, love our donkey! She is a guard for our sheep and goats.
If this is not a forever spot, do you think you will leave the state?
Would love quarterly extended farm tours.
Dream big and never stop guys, you are both a testament to manifesting your dreams.
I'm looking for my first property, and have been stressing out about finding a place where I could live for the rest of my life. Your comments at the end of this video helped me see it completely differently. I think it's beautiful how you consider what your work will offer the whole community - not just your own family. Thanks for reminding me that we are all connected, that we can't always see the extent of our actions, and that we are able to change and adapt. I'm a new subscriber and will be watching many videos in the next months. Be well!
Ya'll make my heart long for the day when I will have my own property. Talking about God leading you to your forever property, makes me think "hurry up God, I really want this." God's lesson in patience!
I love your tours, I'd watch you do laundry actually. You, HH, VW, Single Dad, Pine Knot, Stivers and Morgan's podcasts are my chill time :-) OK, I was a single parent for years, I enjoy my chill time hahahaha!
Yes PLEASE keep doing your full tour videos. For those of us who are 'late to the table', it's a great way to see what you have accomplished thus far & how your farm is progressing and changing. Great job! Thank you for sharing. ✌❤
Love your family and goals. May God continue to bless you. It was awesome to see your full farm. Couple times a week would be nice. You and your children are so inspiring to so many.
You are both such an inspiration!!!! I can't even describe how light and glad and HOPEFUL you make my heart!!! I pray that you receive your 100 acres so I can continue to learn and be blessed by you both for many years to come
It's a wonderful life--I love seeing these videos. Those horses are BEAUTIFUL as are all your other animals...kudos to you!
Not boring! A delight, and the tour the place with both of you. Fun to hear your humor, J. Love your attitude about learning and building up something without attachment. Providing something for children and grandchildren is Biblical, but you are doing it by being faithful and good stewards.
Videos with you riding those beauties would be really cool.
Mary Goat you can’t ride them
"Turn your waiting room into your classroom". Excellent advice for anyone in any situation! Love you guys!
Also agree with Missouri Girl 84....need a new squad goals shirt with the alpacas.
Definitely one of my favorite type of vlogs, an all around the farm tour with detailed explanations. I have learned a lot from you both and appreciate your dedication and hard work. Thank you for everything you do. God bless. It is Gods work and your legacy will forever bless others. Glory to God!
I love visiting with you all. Thank you for sharing. Blessings Always
Love watching your older videos, where you talk about your legacy and your plans for the future. Especially when we are seeing the fulfilment of so many of those dreams, now in 2022. It fills my heart with so much joy to see how God has blessed you, as you boldly follow his plans.
A whole farm tour!!!!! YES!!!!
What an awesome couple the two of you make. God is good all the time, it's so wonderful that you have placed Him first in your life. Legacy planning is hard for most, yet we're called to remember our children's grandchildren. May God Almighty continue to bless you .
I would love to see regular videos of the farm. The garden is amazing ! And I love that too but the rest of the farm is so great
Y'all are such an inspiration! This video is definitely one my favorites. Seeing y'all grow on RUclips and in the homestead means so much to people thinking "how could I even do that?" lol. Y'all had me cracking up. So happy for the goals y'all accomplished. Just keep doing what y'all do!!
Thanks for the tour! How important is organizing your homestead? How do you prioritize your farm chore time and family chore time? I grew up having a chore list for the house to be done before anything outside. Do you have a routine and do your children have daily/weekly chores in the home and on the homestead? I love to hear your work ethics. I Love the updates. Wish I had more time to ask questions. ❤️🌱
What a refreshing mindset and relationship you have together, and with our God! Do all things for His Glory and He will bless your endeavors.
Loved the update...thank you for sharing. Happy Birthday to your Great Dane :)
Thankyou so much for your words at the end of the video. Just be faithful to the Lord where you are now.
Love this video...seeing and hearing about your dreams and how you are working with God to have them come true. Yes, they are fulfilling your hearts desires, but in your obedience and honoring of God, they are truly giving Him the glory. Thank you for the godly example you give to me, other believers and those God is still seeking as He reveals Himself through you. You inspire me in so many ways. 🙏🏼💕
i would love to see more farm update tours. also, theres NOTHING
wrong with dreaming big! please do NOT be hesitant and reluctant to talk about selling your property in the future. Dream big! " turn your waiting room into your classroom" YASS!! love that.
As God shows you the way, you listen and follow. When the new place is ready and you are made ready, it will happen, in God's Time! It is funny that you bring it up but I have not seen this as your final place either, I realized it when you said it and was not surprised. 🙏💕HE has bigger plans for you!
I love you guys. Your energy and love for life is infectious. Thank you for being real and showing people that dreams are obtainable, changable and organic when God is at the centre...
In my opinion Jersey cows get the best sweetest milk there is are the most timid cows and very personable... We had the smaller jerseys and they were just our babies.... Be blessed.. BBE 👍 👍🤗 🤗🤗 🤗🙏 🙏🙏 ♥️🙏 🙏♥️
I used a rabbit feeder with a hardware cloth insert to keep it from coming down too quick, as my quail feeder. I also used big rabbit waterers, which they learn quickly how to drink from, and it keeps the water cleaner. God Bless You guys! ♥️😍🙏🏻
I LOVED this one 🙌🏻. It was nice to see it all in one video and to hear you guys expand on your future dreams! God bless 💕
I love your family and that you're teaching the kids the ropes (and they are interested!). They are the future!!!
