I am 13 years old and I have been watching your videos for years and am planning on having a homestead when I grow up. I grow a huge garden every year and I have 3 milk cows now. I also have chickens and am working on getting ducks and quail. You have inspired me so much. I just ordered your book along with poly face designs and poly face micro. I ordered attainable sustainable a few years ago and loved it. Thanks for the inspiration.

I just love Lillie's little friend follows her everywhere.

Hey a good solution to help your greenhouse stay warm in the winter month is to put a compost pile in side of it . The heat that the compost pile gives of will help maintain the heat and your greenhouse

I had heart palpitations after COVID. The palpitations lasted about four months. I also felt terrible The whole time. We’re close to the same age, I’m 48. Take it easy, rest. Prayers

Good reasoning it out. She's not A2, she will be stunted, etc. It just tough cause she looks like she will be a good mama and seems mello and manageable

Lily and her lamb should have a KZfaq channel of their own 😆 that's adorable how he follows her everywhere!

I'm a long time viewer but have never posted before. These videos about ways to expand and improve the useable land on your property are super interesting and informative. It would be really cool to see some before and afters (drone footage? maps?) on the new silvopasture areas from the pigs and the more recent mechanical clearing. From the on-the-ground videos it can be a little difficult to get a true sense of how much new, useable pasture you've reclaimed. It's also really interesting to hear your conversations with various experts (the permaculturalist, the surveyor, etc.) about the challenges and strengths of your land. The nerdier the better!

1% a day it's so doable! I love how you empowered your kids to think and make decisions on their own instead of running and asking you for everything. Awesome job you guys! 🤗❤🤗

MESSAGE FOR LILY. The rabbits need a flat piece of wood to sit on so their feet are not pushing on/through the wire mesh all the time.

setting S.M.A.R.T goals Specfic, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic , Timebound love it

The kids could ask Ben Hollar to help them figure out and weld-up a metal frame for their carts. Ben'd love it, the kids would learn to weld, and their carts would be a lot safer on the road. Geared right, they can scoot.

I purchased your book from Amazon 3/6/22 and have enjoyed it and learned so much. About a month ago we moved to our forever home in Alabama and I’ve already become the crazy plant lady. I’ve got seedlings growing in an indoor green space I set up in my laundry room and today I had to put a fan on some of them. I got such a chuckle when watching that episode and you said “you might be a crazy plant lady if you put a fan on your plants”. I’m so ready and excited for this growing season - got my seeds, silage tarp, tiller, tools and marked out my 24 x 50 space. This years goal: grow, learn, keep a journal and enjoy. Next spring chickens!

I think you should write a children's book about your kids working and playing on the farm. You have such an incredible family.

Just pre ordered on Amazon! My gf and I have finally moved down to NC and are excited to use it along with our ideas getting started on our new property! Thank you for everything you and your amazing family do Justin!

How com you don't have a incubator to hatch your own eggs? This would be a a great learning experience for an education lesson for an small homestead. Plus it's shows how life is an creation for future growth of food.

more cow bell never gets old.

Sad to hear about harvesting Polly but that's part of farm life...and why I could never be a farmer but I love to watch your videos!

You may find that a poly material would work really well over your garden beds. You can leave it on during the day being clear and it will hold up well against rain and snow. I used it to cover in some of our beds last year and was able to get some early growth with it.

perhaps you could resolve the problem of the agribond (frost cloth) breaking down by joining it with some heavy duty clear plastic and effectively "quilting" it by running both layers back and forth through a sewing machine to stitch them together and create a more durable kind of frost cloth?

Cattails are a good way to turn problem into solution in super wet areas and are great free forage for your pigs

Lilly and her Lamb! love it

I feel your pain. We're searching up and down the east coast for a bigger property and we definitely want a water source. Not an easy task right now. Great video!

I get heart palpitations when my thyroid medicine is too high. It doesn't take much. 125 mg causes heart racing and insomnia, 112 mg gives low thyroid symptoms. Blood work in normal range for both 125 and 112. I found the happy medium for me is 112 mg 5 days a week , and 125 mg two days a week. Sounds crazy, but true. Thyroid hormones are very important and a little too much or just a little too little can cause problems. Take care of yourself Becky.

It took a good year after I started having heart palpitations for me to be diagnosed with high blood pressure. Very frustrating process that could have been easily sussed out sooner if someone had just told me to cut back on sodium to see if it helped. Good luck to you, Rebecca. 🍀 I hope you find some useful answers soon.

Well, can't wait to get my copy and read it. Patiently waiting. :) I get PVCs once in a while, usually because of dehydration or stress.

Rain! how wonderful! Out here in rural California we have the opposite problem. Land, but no water. we need to capture every drop of rain.

The boys are so smart. Their projects are impressive. You are raising geniuses. I can see them doing big things when they’re adults. Hope Lily’s rabbits 🐇 are also doing well.

Amazon delivery is March 1st!!! I can’t wait

Justin, you should be so proud of your boys, and can’t believe how fast little one is grow, please all keep safe.😀👍

I didn't realize I could order through your site. I ordered it directly through Barnes and Noble. Would love an autograph for it. So excited to recieve it after March first. I also ordered Joel Salatin's book that I couldn't afford at the time it was offered, and another on raising chickens as my brother in law from whom I rent wants to get chickens. I'll probably be responsible for them as near me is where he plans to put them. I look forward to the warmer weather. Tired of the cold, cold, cold. I'll be gardening in containers this year for my herbs and veggie garden with berries, I hope. I've gardener in the ground before but this will be a new experience.

It is going to break my heart if you guys harvest little dude

Your oldest son is a good boy and a hard worker.

Another good bonus might be a discount for your Audible Audio book version if you pre-order the physical book.

I preordered you book today from Amazon. I love what you're doing and I hope to maybe go in pursuit of an AG degree and try to make a living off this amazing lifestyle.

Can’t wait to read your book! Thanks for all you do!

🙋🏼‍♀️🕊. You can Do a catch water system. 💦 off of the buildings . 💦

Justin & Rebecca, do you have a system in place to check the lead in your farm’s water? Just curious. Indoor water filtering system?

You have enough subscribers, maybe you can ask Dirt perfect suggestions on the ditches. Swales, maybe a water tank higher up so you will have water pressure where you need it. His family might love a visit. Some of these guys know their stuff. But I don't think he knows much about regenerative agriculture, so good for him also.

I just began to watch you and your family the last couple of months. I have really enjoyed your KZfaq channel and look forward to many more to come. I would have loved to raise my family this way even though they are older I am trying on a very low scale to have a life this way. Again thank you for all that you all have shared with all of us.

Blessings to all!

You have the most wonderful beautiful children.

I would drink from that spring, as a child we would drink from the creek when we was out playing in the woods.

Henry looks so much like Mr. Brown

I said the calf would find that GATE . Glad she is OK.

Ah ha ha nice insert. You should invite him to your farm

I have already pre-ordered your book on Audible does that count towards your total I've never listened to a farming title before so I'm really excited to see if I like the style books

I have dealt with many of the issues that the beautiful one is experiencing. Only one time did I fall for the you havexto take this to fix it. My heart would palputae an race sitting in a car! That was hyperthyroidism, now I have flipped to hypo. I have learned so much just by the passing of time. I can share if wanted. send me a pm. I take no meds an have it in hand!

Hey is art and bri ok sorry for asking just haven’t seen anything out of them in awhile

for heart palpatations - from experience is caused by stomach gas ie bile not able to be produced or diluted not able to work - in my knowledge to create a push like having a bowel movement can help stop the disorder - but also to use peppermint tea - papaya leaf and or pineapple will assist the bile to be used - also the gas created by allergys ie mine is any kind of pepper - also to also when drinking while eating stops the bile from working so avoid drinking when eating so digestion works normal i would bloat like 9 months pregnant and whole body shaking - holding your breath also can help - i send best wishes through these life changes

Hi.... Justin Rhodes and Rebecca and nice to see you all, thank you for showing your video homestead chickens duck goose farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🐕🐈🐑🐄🐖🐇🌱🌺🌹🌿🌻🌼🌸🍀🌷🏡🎥👍👍👍

Good catch Justin and l hope you get the water problem together. Oh good catch on the milk with crap in it. Blessings! ✅✅✅👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯

Could be a swimming pond for the family

Little dude thinks he’s a dog following y’all around 😂

I got an arrhythmia after covid. It didn't resolve so please be careful and get a good MD. Take care

I have just pre-ordered your book (my birthday gift from my children), so you can cross off 1/10,000. Good luck!

What might help with additional sales... offer discount on abundance +. We preordered 2 books

"Polly, our heifer we were raising for beef, went and got pregnant" It takes 2

TRY , D - BALLAST STONE IN YOUR OLD ROAD BED PLUS + D - BALLAST WOULD MAKE GREAT WATER FILTER NATURAL ?.

I lost all the skin on my shin riding a cart like that. Flipped over when one of my feet slipped off.

Justin, your goal end date is on my birthday!... 🎂 😁 Hope, you meet your goal! Blessings to you and your family!

Any Ideas when the Amazon orders will ship? Still waiting here in Canada for your book! So excited!

Please list your book every post so people know how to order them. I have listened to your videos on and off but today I don't see book order info on this post. Thank you. (Hopefully, I can send a check?)

More cow bell!🛎

Hi sir big fan I'm from India i love the life u live nice to see ur work great god bless you always

Nice

My heart was racing after covid as well. Went away on its own. You're probably doing too much.

Use a piece of cattle or chicken fence and make a hoop house over the garden beds. 🙏🏻 Tell your wife to take high dose vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc and qrecetrin or black cumins seed. Drink pine needle tea, Along with Echinacea, calendula, and rose hip teas. Honey to taste. Stay hydrated and eat fatty bacon for chest relief. 🙏🏻✌🏻💗🇨🇦

Just a thought for Rebecca, palpitations are a side effect of perimenopause, and there are many, many others! Perimenopause can last for a long time before menopause comes so it can happen whilst we're still very young! Good luck to you all, love your channel and looking forward to the book! Love from the 🇬🇧

the preorder page is gone...I preordered back in October and it wouldn't let me submit the bonus form yesterday.

nice

Where did you find the egg rack? I'd like to make one. Thanks.

I was wondering why it wasn't the plan to keep Polly but you answered at the end why. I would like to see more of Polly and the new baby. He will be around for a while it seems.

Let her raise the calf. A calf weaned too early will be stunted, a heifer calved too early will be stunted, especially after nursing a calf for 3 months. Or wean him and then let her gain weight back afterwards or you will be disappointed again. she will need time to dry off and gain some fat back after nursing a calf. I would never butcher a nursing cow. that is the worst meat you will have.

I would keep Polly. I bet she would make a good milker. Love seeing Rebekah's fun side! Go Momma!

I missed some of the early stuff. Is there a way to see any of that? The stuff in early February.

What if you use a ram pump to get water up the hill to the pastures?

The best advice I can give you regarding cows is keep the girls turn the boys into steers and eat them in the cow world girls are not as easy to come across I have been trying for 3 years and all I do is keep getting boys but that's just my opinion you never know maybe this year might be different I have cows due in August but I think they will be boys again on another note Justin have you ever thought about breeding your own meat chickens I have just started doing it and I am quite happy with how it is working out I have 28 little chicks all meat chickens and my plan is within the next year to constantly breed them and raise so many for the freezer at the end of the day it would save a lot of money in the long run if you did not have to go out and buy chicks I know it's a little bit more work but I think it's well worth it in the past you have used Cornish cross you know you can make your own all you need is a Cornish and a Plymouth Rock they won't grow quite as fast as the hatchery it might take a few more weeks maybe it's something you need to consider I remember a long time ago you used to incubate eggs meat chickens are not just for meat you can get some very good meat chickens that are a dual purpose and will lay quite a lot of eggs that was my plan so I can have layers and I can have breeders and then when they start to slow down I can replace them at no cost

What App is he using to find the springs ?

I'm part of your 10k ❤

Interesting

Can we please have an entire episode on little dude.... He's too cute

For the raw milk, could you not make yogurt from it? The hottest temperature is 175-180 F for approximately 20 minutes.

2 for the price of 1, that's good beef math

Oh so sorry about the heart racing. Heart issues after covid is pretty common. Sure your doctor will tell you that. As long as its just that and not blood clots you'll be fine.

I don’t know if you’re aware, but Amazon in Australia is saying your book won’t be available until 12th July!?!

I think it's time for Justin to get a backhoe attachment for his tractor and start digging swells.

Can you tell me please, where do you send the cows tail hair to do the A1 A2 test? Thanks!

Sometimes you have to throw out the rule book and listen to nature when it provides. Failure to do that could spell disaster 😬 Oh, well... Not my farm. Hope everything works out for you guys 🙏

When are we going to see the Stivers on your channel or Abundance Plus?

I want to buy your book! Where can I purchase it?

Well...you did name your bull Stud. Ha ha

I bought your book through Amazon to be shipped on 1 Mar, but I didn't receive any of the bonuses you mentioned in this episode. Not sure where or who else I need to speak to.

i also got covic a week ago. i also have had heart palpatations. however after all three pf my vacines u had heart palputations for a couple of days ,then it stios. so i have not seen a doctor.
