My Mom always said, “ If it cost you your peace it’s too expensive!,” She was not referring to Dad being overseas in the Marines, even though I can’t imagine that life of a wife of a soldier at war. Dad was WWII. She was taking about our soul or knowing what feels right in your soul! Knowing in our heart that this is toxic or beautiful! Where to invest in your life & where to step around the speed bump. If it cost your Peace, your Joy, your reason to thrive, then it’s too expensive. Shine! On! Thrive on! She was referring to where your soul is being used for the better good of many. God Bless you always!! ✌🏽❤️🌱🍅🌻🙏🏽

I wish I'd had this realization much earlier in my life...just turned 60, yikes how did that happen....I'd encourage everyone to take the time to decide the what and why of the most important things in YOUR life and put them at the top of the list, guard them because life can creep in and try to derail us. Don't get to the end of your life with regrets because you didn't take the time to choose what your best life looks like and put energy into realizing that goal. The regret is in the not trying. Ok, I'm off my soapbox!

I agree! I was a single mom, and the desire of my heart was to paint. It's common to lose track of time while painting, and my children needed all my spare time, so I put art on hold until my children were grown. I began painting again, and began to dream of a vegetable/herb garden and wild plantings of lush of flowers to enjoy and paint. My dream is beginning! I have moved, and am in the process of buying a house and property of two and a half acres. The home has renovation to do, and the property needs work, yet I see possibilities everywhere. I see an English rose garden in the front, and a nice area for a field of wildflowers in the back near the middle of the land. Archways and trellises and groupings of plantings. As there are many mature trees, including pecan, the only additions are a Japanese maple, and maybe a couple of fruit trees. I'm excited to see it progress.

When a young wife and mom, I needed an outlet for the normal frustrations of that part of life, I turned to getting my hands into dirt! Gardening, in all its venues, was found to be my stress reliever. Plant, water, watch for growth, measure progress, finally harvest. All along, the gardens, the chicken flocks, the children’s growth , wow, it was really, my dish! My heart had been given to the Lord as a child of 12. So walking through the life He blessed me with, though sometimes stressful. He shown me the value of dirt under my nails.

My personal goal is to get out of debt so I can really retire - maybe with a plot of land where my sons with autism can learn to grow their own food in a safe environment without external stressors. They are already learning to can, bake and preserve in my current kitchen. My oldest LOVES planting food in the (former) flower beds and harvesting things to eat. We all have goals, and we all have expenses. I just can't add Abundance + at this juncture.

I am one of those people who never questioned your “why?” when it came to your new show. I figure, your life, your family, your choice. With that said, I couldn’t imagine a better explanation of your “why?”!!!! This is one of those times where i wish I could repeatedly hit the like button, x infinity!!😍

I grew up gardening, but since I've started following your channel this Winter my mom and I have at least tripled our garden spaces. Yesterday we picked our first successfully grown peppers, and my Spaghetti Squash plant has gone rogue, filling the raised bed that it's in and spilling out the sides to just keep growing! My dream is to one day have my own property that I can take care of and that will in turn provide for me and my family, and your channel is absolutely a huge part of making me believe that it's possible. Keep dreaming and keep sharing in whatever form you feel is best, because it has more value than I can put into words.

Soooo important for our futures, soooo important for our world. We're working to build a homestead here in Turkey 🦃 and I'm watching every video, you're so inspiring. Bravo 👏🎬🙏

Watching your channel, then finding the Rhodes, Art and Bri, the Hollers, etc. has helped keep my focus on the important things in life and not get pulled into the quagmire of fear and negativity being promoted on other media. Thank you for using your gifts for God's glory and for helping us get through these challenging times.

Jess you were the first of the homesteading family that I was exposed to. It was a gardening video that just kept showing up “How to grow a garden for $20”. I was watching videos on KZitem to see/learn the technic of espalier because we are trying to grow fruit trees on a city lot in Riverside county of California. Your move has been so exciting to watch, because I have dreams of more land. But until the Lord shows us the plan for that dream we are growing and learning where we are. Thank you for your encouragement, you are already teaching in our learning center in southern CA.

It's not TV! You can watch it on cell, tablet, anything. Difference is you have to pay for it. Yet another subscription. I'll stick with you tube. Biggest difference is they have a production crew taking the video instead of doing the video themselves.

I've been at my farm in Vermont since 1996, when I inherited it from my parents. I was 46 years old then, and I think to live off the land partly or completely (for me partly) is the best life there is. I'm so glad you'all think so, too, enough to make a show for others to see its incredible peace and beauty. I don't think I could put it into words really, what it is that I want to share about my life here, but I know it's a balm to the stress of every day, watching the ridiculous news and going through a pandemic. I just am buttoned up here on my farm, and loving it. I don't need anything, and I know you know that wondrous feeling. The thing I DO need is community, which you, Jess and Miah, offer with your wonderful videos and soon, a show--thank you so so much.

Wow. What exciting news. I cant believe that a show is going to be any better than your youtube. But I'm excited to watch it. I believe God has brought you together for a higher purpose and we are all going to benefit from it. I personally benefit from your YT. I dont have a huge garden because I cant maintain it myself with stage 4 cancer but I do have 6 small raised beds that give my family good food to eat during the year. I could not have done it without you and your advice. I just wish I found you 20 years ago..lol God Bless you and Mia. I pray all your dreams come true on His time. And Thank You for sharing your life....💕💕💕💐💐💐❤

I just watched the trailer and it gave me chills and I honestly teared up. I have been watching you since you first started and I started gardening right along side of you. I now have an urban garden (that looks more like a jungle) right outside of Pittsburgh, PA and you honestly taught me so much. This year I let my volunteers grow and just let the garden do what it was meant to, and it did not disappoint. Congratulations on this new chapter, I couldn’t be more happy for you and I am so very proud of you. Sending my love and can’t wait to see what you do next.

I’ve been watching you for several months and I have been trying to figure it out. What is it about this gal that is so appealing? I think I finally figured it out. In a nut shell, you make people feel good, feel like they can accomplish things they are dreaming of and you do that without even the tiniest grain of falsehood. I am old enough to be your mom and you have reminded me of parenting my littles and all the joys of that season and for this season when I have more time to just be in the garden, you have taught me to throw those seeds about recklessly because to quote you, “they want to grow”. Such a simple thing, such a game changer for this old gardener. May God continue to bless you greatly in this new season💚

You are a great storyteller! You have a way of communicating just the right info in just the right way. You are blessed! Thank you for sharing the update today. I’ve only seen a couple of videos but will be going back and watching more as I’m able. Praying your efforts are blessed as you continue encouraging others.

One of my favorite things about your channel is that you have always been so led by thought and consideration about what felt right and true. That is just as important a lesson as the practicalities of homesteading, for it is at the heart of what we are missing and yearning for.

I'm hoping to be able to buy about 50 acres from my neighbor someday soon. You and Justin have blessed me in so many ways and I can't thank you enough for all of the tips and the honesty. I love y'all and keep being you because you're amazing! Sending love and hugs from eastern Kentucky!
