    You are my favorite UA-cam family! As an old lady, it makes me feel better for the future of our world to see that you teach your children manners. I cringe when I see some of the behaviors of children in a couple of other families. You are an amazing bunch of people!

    I would like to thank you.Your obsession with trees has helped me immensely. We're closing on a few acres soon, and before any houses,coops or barns are built....I'm putting down fruit trees. Your plantings and various other ventures since getting your place has sent me on a completely different path than I was originally heading. Totally renovated my line of thinking, realising what is of true importance when starting out.

    Dear Ben, the green house looks great! I hope you can take a moment for your own satisfaction and count. In the last 3 years, how many: garden beds planted, pigs processed, chickens processed, house remodel from the studs up, how many trees planted, a green house built and functional. (I think you did just tack down the sides on the new wall so they won't open) Cows added and include the preggers one. You have held classes, cleared forest, bought a dang new tractor ect ect. You have done so much! That does not include all that Sweet Meg has done including giving birth! I hope you can really just take a moment and really appreciate that.

I am totally never going to be a homesteader, I’m too afraid of critters hahaha. But I will say, you guys are kinda giving me the urge to plant a few tomatoes and peppers. But that’s it. Lol. I also love that you all gather together as a family to eat your meals and pray before also. Blessing to you all.

    For Northern climates, there's Gurneys in South Dakota. Many years ago I planted shrubs from bare roots that I found at a local Nursery in Minnesota. They did fantastic. Later I planted bare root trees from Gurneys and they also did well. Where we live now the only trees that thrive are Ponderosa Pine. They are in abundance here, in fact we're thinning them out so they have a better chance of surviving the next Bark Beetle invasion. Deciduous trees require irrigation as the climate is semi arid. We don't have enough water to irrigate.

    I personally don’t think the viewer’s understand how much time it takes to put out a video. The filming alone takes time to plan, then let us not forget the editing! This takes over an hour to get it all in place, then adding music is another hour or so. To get the right stuff. So bravo! Well done each video is great. God bless! ❤🙏🤟

    I love your farm, it's not a show room model, it's a real life use what you can to get by "Awesome Farm". And you have a beautiful family, your wife is "awesome" and you have extreme entertainment with Buggy. Love your show.❤❤❤❤
