It is a beautiful picture of real honesty, joy, love, vulnerability, hard work and the most enjoyable friendships and of course good food. 🤗 Thank you for the invite, can’t wait to get to know you and your family.

I have watched you guys since the beginning. I’m a member of your Facebook page. I All so watch roots and refuge, Bri from scratch I’m so glad they are working through things. The Hollar homestead, sow the land and Justin Rhodes. You all have inspired me to do better and to be better. Thank you for your videos and inspiration.

Courtney your words are so so true!! Being a homesteader can be lonely for sure. Even us here have a decent homeschool community with several of our families having chickens and gardens and cattle. But we can still feel like the “crazy ones”! Haha. And as for leaving the family at home for a trip, it’s not always easy. It needs good communication, defined boundaries, and for the right timing. Which is why we didn’t have a trip like this for the last two years due to little Georgia. But Beau was able to do a trial run for a couple of nights in the fall, which allowed us to take this big trip!!! But yes, it’s not at all easy!

Being a prepper doesn't mean your fearful. Maybe for some, but that's not every prepper. The foods I've prepped are freeze dried. There's nothing wrong with being a prepper, but there are many who put "all preppers" into the same category. I don't care if you dont call yourself a prepper, but y'all are preppers. Y'all are Working your land and preserving foods to guarantee that your family is taken care of. That is the main reason why preppers do what they do. We want to take care of our families and be independent of having to rely on the big G! We might not be homesteaders, but we have skills. Some of us are gardeners, herbalists, foragers, trackers, hunters, trappers, many are ex military, some are in the medical field etc. Etc. Never think because we are "titled" as a "prepper", that we are crazy, fearful, and unstable worrywarts. Many are believers and followers of Jesus Christ. Beautiful video and lovely friends.....God Bless

Attempt to grow a small garden mostly in the winter. Our summers are brutal. I actually HATE living in Arizona! But, my husband likes the desert! We are debt free. Living on his pension plus Social Security. My daughter lives in Eagle Colorado, my son lives in Hartville Missouri. I have 13 grandchildren.

I found Jess several years back when looking for someone growing lots of Tomatoes outside under similar conditions to mine here in Yorkshire. I have Barry's Crazy Cherry in my garden every year because of her. Now, because these Ladies are your friends, KZfaq recommended this video on my homepage. I really enjoyed your 'prepper' chat on your drive to Bri. I think it's easy to get consumed by the what ifs, and not live for now. And I am speaking from personal experience on that.

I am new to your channel. I came from Jess' channel. Unfortunately, I only have an acre, but I plan on putting it to good use. I can only have chicken and ducks where I live. No larger farm animals are allowed. I plan on building a small greenhouse this fall. My garden is being redone and enlarged this year. I took a 5 year break after my mother died. It was something we did together. Now I am going to come back at it with a vengence. I will honor my ancestors from Appalachia who had big gardens to support their families. I am currently starting my up-potting of around 70 tomato plants, plus various other vegetables and herbs. I am in Ohio, and so very envious of those that can garden mostly year-round. I really like your channel. Glad to have found you.

Your garden makes me happy and a little jealous in a good way so thank you for the motivation. Also, I don't know why I didn't think of planting the mulberry trees years ago because I grew up with them and it was definitely one of my favorite snack spots! I guess I'll have a while to wait for them to produce but now I am definitely getting a couple for shade and snacks. Thanks again and so happy to have found you!!

Yes! The mulberries are now our favorite for both the fodder for our milk cow Goldie, AND THE BERRIES!!!!! Yum! Thank you again Holly and excited to talk more!

I think one thing about this video is how often you 'think' on things yourself. I find with where I am in life, I cannot afford to stop and think. It's so beautiful that you can live in this world so fully because you're not consumed with worry or stress. That's not to say you don't have your stressors, but that you view life in such a whole way that you're able to think and feel and experience beyond it. I'm about 2 weeks away from sitting my university final exam, and it consumes my every waking thought. To be free of such a constraint that you can ponder the wider aspects of life - both your own and others - is such a beautiful gift!

I found you through Jess, and now I find myself binging you. I find myself being jealous of you being able to live the homesteading life on land. I currently live in an HOA and we are looking for land here in E TN. I am learning how to do what I can where I am and to store knowledge to have for when we do have land and animals. I was able to find a nice homesteading store 30 minutes away from me that has classes and where I am able to get raw milk. Thank you for your videos keep making them :)

I just subscribed to your channel for a new prospective. I'm in Utah on 1/2 acre in the city with a large garden,11 chickens and have been gardening most of my 64 yrs first as a child in Idaho on 2 acres where we had a small farm. In the 1990s I wanted to teach others to garden so i started a community garden in my yard but didn't think about videos. Anyway one day I'll be back in Idaho on that 2 acres which now seems to small for all i want to do. I love watching these channels. You all are living the life, teaching i always wanted to live and do. I have to say I envy you have all figured out how to make money from your teaching and thanks for all you, Jess and Rebecca do. I hope one day i can join you at a homestead meeting though I'm old enough to be your grandmother I'm raising my 4 yr old great granddaughter and hope to teach her a better life in the country but to my roots and hopefully find a like community in south east Idaho when i move.

This was so fun to watch! I found you through Jess's channel. I live in town, in Southern Oregon. We have a pretty big lot (for town) and have a large garden (fenced against deer), a flock of 7 hens, 2 cats, and some fish, lol. I call it my mini urban homestead. 😂 My children are all grown and I have 11 grandchildren (most of whom live far away, sadly) . Life is good❤. You ladies remind me of the Yaya Sisterhood 😂🎉❤

❤ this video allowed me to have a good cry, one very needed good for the soul cry. On Monday I lost of my dearest friends, my person. As farmers/homesteaders we do spend a lot of time on farm, we work hard and pour into our community. Amy was my fellow kind hearted, God loving, friend. The one you. Share coffee with and the day slips by with laughter. Loosing her has really hit me heard, a part of my heart flew away with her. Thank you for reminding me that pouring into ourselves is needed also. Friendships where your heart pours out on your people through friendship. Thank you! We are a fellow Texas homesteader, IPP breeder, and family living the simple life with God.

You ladies are my kind of people. I regularly watch most of the other ladies' channels. I was surprised to see that you all knew each other and were friends. It's crazy how many things I connect with y'all on. Especially the plant identification. My sister in law laughed at me and said it was one of her favorite moments on our Myrtle Beach vacation when she saw me with my phone out, identifying some beautiful flowers and talking to the them. I think she low key thought I was nuts. You girls would totally understand that. So I know I'm not alone. So glad y'all got to spend that time together. Having people who's souls connect like that is such a blessing. I have yet to find it, most people's eye glaze over when I talk about those things, but I at least have people who will entertain my ramblings most of the time. It's more than some have I suppose. You ladies are blessed.
