Oh yea, we are doing our best to build a sustainable homestead in central Texas raising pigs, chickens, and rabbits…. and hopefully more!!!!!
#familycow #buildingahomestead #chickens
No desire to compare, just a desire to connect! I LOVE THAT!!!
Yessssss!
I love that too. We're in Oklahoma. Such a good video!!!!
I came from Jesse’s Becky’s Lorraine’s, Bri’s and Meg’s channel. You sweet lady are the missing piece to the puzzle. 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. Have a blessed day.
Oh Terry you are so so sweet! THANK YOU so much for joining us!!!!
Yes, oh the fooooood!!! 🤤
I love that you guys are friends “behind the scenes”. It proves that it is a community and not an online trend.
Amen!
We live in south east Texas. We bought 13.7 acres and we have started our homestead. We have 17 chickens and 6 pigs. We are starting a small garden. We are slowly moving to be self sufficient. 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.
This is AWESOME Tony!!!!! We have got to figure out a way to create a Texas homesteading event for sure!!
Way to go on your chickens and pigs! What breed are you raising?
Thanks a bunch!!!
@@BetterTogetherLifecount me in if you do! Middle East Texas here! Older girl but lots of yrs doing this. Kelly…great video!
Deal!!! Let’s make that happen!!
No joke, Kelly and I have been talking about it for a long time and just need to find a way to make it happen.
I am also in what I call southeast Texas....not way down south, but not in the middle either lol Watched all these channels for years. Been at what we are doing for the last 35 years. Beef cows, chickens, pigs sometimes, dairy goats, quail, gardening and canning.
@@BroqueCowgirlHomestead I just subscribed! Can’t wait to watch about these caterpillars!
I’m here from both Hollar Homestead & Roots and Refuge. What a lovely sweet video!!
Thanks for coming! I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Susan!
@@BetterTogetherLife I loved the love and support and you all banding together!
As a fellow Texas gardener…I hear you! We need more Texas gardening/homesteading community! Especially to get us through those hot, crunchy, grasshopper filled summer months that seem to never end. I’m a new follower and have loved seeing your homesteading journey. Thanks for bringing us along!❤🌱❤🌱
Yes we do! I’m so glad you’re here! We are just outside of Austin and feel that crunchy summer biting at our heels even now! Thanks for being here, Michelle !
North Texas girl attempting to garden here! The struggle is real!!!
Yessss! South Texas here outside of San Antonio.
Yay NEW TEXAS FRIENDS!!!!!
Yay MORE NEW TEXAS FRIENDS!!!!! 😁😁😁
I watch all you ladies and actually cried 🤣🤣. Community is so important. And while I have a beautiful church family, I am the only homesteader I know personally. I’m the only large family mama with 9 in tow in my community of ladies. You guys are so blessed to have each other!!! What a beautiful thing to witness. Plus…. How brave are you!!!!!!!! For traveling and leaving kids behind. I’ve always been envious of my brave friends who do what needs to be done and say “bye bye kiddos see you soon” I could really could
Learn a thing or two 😅
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!
I was so sure this homestead honey summit was going to be sacrosanct from cameras, but I am ever grateful for getting a glimpse into the Lovely life.
I’m so glad that I could share it with you!
Oh my goodness, yes! My thoughts exactly ❤ I’d love to be apart of this friend group!
I think it is great that the homestead ladies all got together for talk, chores, and fun!! You ladies deserve some fun time together. God bless y'all and keep growing!!!
It was an absolute treasure!
Happy for all you ladies having a friendship so strong and safe! ❤
Thank you Samantha!!!!!
I'm so very grateful for everything I have learned on UA-cam and so excited to add your channel to my list of internet friends!! Thank you Jess for introducing us to another one of your lovely friends!!!
April you are soooooo right!!! Even with all of its flaws, UA-cam is the best tool out there for learning. Not really sure if the traditional education system can compete anymore. Haha.
And yes yes yes! Thank you Jess for bringing even more friends together!!!!! 😁😁♥️♥️♥️
This is what community, family, but most of all, what LOVE looks like.
Love this!!! Thank you McCormicks!!!
🙋🏽♀️ I found you through Jessica's channel. It is so great you all have each other, despite living across the country!
I have only recently found my people, genuine Christian, homeschooling, homesteading families that want to do life together. That's an amazing blessing to have a group like you all do!
Oh! I know that WIN! I’m so glad you have finding your people as a part of your story. What a mercy 🥰
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
I hear you! Thanks for taking time to share this! You are so so right!!
People will tell you who they are if you listen.
This is probably one of my favorite videos ever!!! All my favorite ladies in one video ❤❤❤❤
YAY!!!!! Thank you so so much!
This was so much fun! Thank you for taking me along
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
You are my INSPIRATION!!! FRIENDS are are chosen FAMILY - what a great family you have in each other! Thank you so much for sharing your special moments!

Oh yay!
I loved this!!!!! It was great for you to be together. I’m a Roots n Refuge fan and Justin Rhodes!!! Now I have new friends. Love you ladies!!! I’m from Central Texas!
That’s so awesome Reyne!!! Love that we’ve been able to meet new Texas friends from this video! 😁😁😁
I don’t know how I’ve missed you but so glad I found you with the group of awesome ladies homesteading and contributing so much to family and survival. We are living in Marietta, Ga and are city dwellers wishing I was homesteaders. Looks like we will have to live vicariously through you guys as we are in our 80s now soooo …. Glad to find you now.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for being here and taking time to comment !
Love you girls that reunion was like lifetime I really enjoyed watching all my favorite girls together.i think you should do this every year very satisfying indeeeeeed❤❤❤❤❤🙏
It really was so life giving!!! Thank you!!! We are going to try for sure. It’s easy for those Carolina girls…. So I just have to talk Beau into watching the kiddos!!! Hahaha
Loved the video. So much fun and joy watching you girls celebrate.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This video appeared on my suggested list and I follow all the other ladies for years now, where have you been???? I am SO GLAD to have found you!!!!!
I found Meg just after Buggy started walking and getting her hands in the dirt.
Cindy Ings Newfoundland, Canada
Haha, well I am so glad that you found us also!!!! I guess we are just hidden a bit down here in Texas. Haha.
THANK YOU for giving us a chance!!! We love new friends! This has been such a fun video to meet a lot of new people.
How is Canada? Ready for summer??
I am in Eastern NM and we are brown but growing all the green I can! I love this and the sharing that you are getting to do!
Yay Christina! You are doing it!!!! 😁😁
I will never forget this exact video as long as I live. When I come up with words I will finish my fond thoughts on this.
WOW, THANK YOU SO SO MUCH for your amazing words!! Thank you!!!!
Found you from this video that popped up… so enjoyed “binge watching” tonight as I am awake for some strange reason! I am 73 years old in Tucson Arizona. I have kept laying hens since 2008. 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 love being able to live the “homestead life” on my 50’ x 100’ lot! May The Holy One of Israel watch over and give you a joyful life!
What a rich life, Heidi! That sounds lovely. I know what you mean about summers. We get some rough ones here too. Glad you’re here and that YT sent us your way!
Loved to see my fab 8 spend quality time together. Absolutely awesome
Thank you Leslie!!!! You’re AWESOME!!!
It's Good to travel & see friends, but it's Great to get Back!
My Aunt had a needle point that said, "Travel East, Travel West, After ALL Home's the Best!'
"OH My Goodness, the Children have grown & flourished just like the Plants! That's what LOVE has got to do with IT !!
Thanks for sharing! I love that!!
@@BetterTogetherLife ♥✝♥
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.
Another Texan here (in the NE corner) I'm SO glad Jess brought me to your channel. I just had a trip to Alabama with a few of my close friends to learn from Darryl Patton and a few other herbalist. Would love to see yall there too!! He has another conference in the fall this year. We also spent our time identifying every plant we seen. Can't wait to watch more of your channel. ❤- Your fellow Texan
Wow Chelsey that is so cool to learn about!!! That would be a blast!
Giving a wave from the UK. I saw your Bri leg of your tour on Bri's channel, because I've been watching Art and Bri for years. 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, UA-cam 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. Off to check out your other videos 😁
Oh wow, THANK YOU sooooo much!!!! You are too kind!
Ooooo, we need to grow those Barry’s Crazy Cherry tomatoes!!!!! Yum!
@@BetterTogetherLife As a general rule I am not a raw tomato fan, but the Crazy is our favourite, and I've found we all love them picked green and pickled. They are very versatile little bombs of flavour 😁
Oooooo, pickled!! Yum!!!!
What an amazing group of ladies! Thanks for sharing your time together. What a blessing!
Lover of the land I love that song!!!!
Yay!!!!!
I love this. I’m a big fan of Jess and Meg and I’m excited to start watching you now too!
Oh wow THANK YOU so so much!!! We are honored to even be thought of in this group regards to UA-camrs and homesteaders.
These are all rockstar homesteaders!!!! And even better amazing humans!
I’m here from Roots and Refuge. I live in east Texas. I think cool spring has officially entered and pre-summer is upon us. Even in the “drought” here last year everything was still lush and green. It just takes the moisture out of the air!
Yes! East Texas is wild! We were in Houston for years and could grow so many amazing things. Sub tropic might be so crazy humid, but boy is the fruit fantastic!
Came here from Queensland Australia via Roots & Refuge after catching up from a 6 month UA-cam break, can't believe I didn't follow you before now, I follow all your girlfriends! Got me some catching up to do!!
Oh wow, THANK YOU so so much!!!!! How is Australia this time of year?
Ok I just found you, I am on Vancouver Island in BC Canada. I also follow Roots & Refuge, Bri from scratch, Sow the Land, The Hollar's, The Rhodes. So I know in my heart I will also love your channel and your content. Have a beautiful day 😊
Oh thank you so much Shelly! You are too sweet!!! I agree, I love all of their channels as well!
This content is sooooo good. First time seeing this pair up. Need more of the two of you chatting❤
Oh thank you so so much Lisa!!! It’s funny, after this video we’ve been thinking, “how can we fly the ladies down to TEXAS?!???” 🤣🤣
It's so funny seeing Jess as the guest on a video instead of the host LOL Looks like everyone had a great weekend together. I'm up in Canada not so patiently waiting for the weather to be warm enough for outdoor planting.
That’s a good take! You’re right. She is usually touring us all through her space and people. I was so delighted to have her in our little internet space 🥰. I hope you get sunshine on your face and your feet in the earth soon!!!
Hahaha, yup you are so right Amber!
Usually in a normal video we would have cut some of those longer talking sections out. But even for US it was fun to see Jess in that different way. So glad that it was fun to see for you as well.
THANK YOU Amber!!!!!!
Me too, waiting to plant in Ontario north of Brighton!
I found you through Jess. I'm in East Texas. So glad I found your channel.
Yay!!! It’s been so fun meeting so many new Texas friends from this video. It’s super awesome!
Thank you so much for watching and your kind words! So excited to chat with you here in the comments!! 😁😁
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!
That’s a really cool insight on this video. Thank you so much for sharing.
I found y'all years ago while watching "The Great American Farm Tour." I don't get around to watching all of your videos anymore. I love your spirit and your face. I absolutely loved this video. The connection, the vlog, the motivation, and the inspiration. Thank you, Beautiful Lady. 💖💝💖
Oh thank you so much Brandi!!! Sweetest words ever!
@@BetterTogetherLife you’re so welcome! I’m watching last week’s garden tour right now. 🩷🩷🩷
No way, THANK YOU!!!! 😁😁😁
@@BetterTogetherLife Thank you for being you and sharing with us. 🩷🩷🩷
You guys did such a wonderful job on this video! Your voiceover and the content and the uplifting message about not copying people in some other part of the country or world and comparing ourselves to others. Spot on! So good! I like your normal stuff, but this really hit it out of the park on a different level for me! 🏆❤️🏆
I feel this! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
I’m from Texas. I came from Jess and Meg’s channel. I love how you describe things. Thank you.
I’m so glad you’re here! Thank you for joining us!!!
Such a blessed fun weekend. ❤
Ginna you are so so right?!!!!
I SO happy that I watch all of you I got a view from everyone from the party
Hard work tends to lead to amazing character! Love watching homesteading. One day i will have this!
Absolutely!! Bella you are so right!
Those are some of my favorite ladies! I'm so glad I found this channel-- new Texan (moved from NC)! And new Subscriber!❤💗
Oh no way?!??? A new Texan FROM NC????
So what was the reason for the big move?
@BetterTogetherLife we are actually from Arkansas then have moved a bit because we are a military family (5 kids) so my husband was transferred to Ft Worth from NC and we are living south of the city doing what we can (garden, learning skills) until we have the freedom to live & homestead where we want.
You’re besties with all my favorite gals! How did I miss you! So glad to have found you! ❤
They’re so great, aren’t they?! I’m glad you’re here!!!
I love watching all you girls.we have a homestead in southeast tx.Its nice to get together with like minded people.
Sounds AMAZING to have such a great group of ladies ❤
I watch Roots and refuge, I'm encouraged to love what I grow threw Jesse's teaching. This led me to grow more Berry's and I never knew I'd love to grow flowers. My garden means so much more to me then it did in 2020 because of lady like you all. Truly a blessing ❣️❣️❣️
I feel the same way about my garden too! What a victory to have that for the last four years. Way to go!
I just happened to see your vlog while on You Tube and thought I saw Jess in your photo so had to click on it and so glad I did! Thanks for taking us along on your visit! I have subscribed to your channel too! Lovely to see all you friends together!! I am from southeastern AZ.
Oh thank you Karen!!! You are amazing!
What a beautiful reunion of great friends that I have following from the beginning. Wishing you all the very best.
I’m so glad you’re here and you enjoyed it!
I am so happy to meet you. I found you when you visited Jess. Seeing all of my favorite UA-cam ladies together and being able to add another sweet girl to the bunch 😊 thank you for sharing your trip and your welcome home from your family. Nicely done and creative way to share your thoughts and joy with friends❤ now I get to watch your channel 😊
I have watched all of you ladies! You are my people 🥰
I have learned and grown my farm right along side you beautiful ladies. What a joy to see you all together!
I’m so glad you’re here! It’s such a cool thing to connect this way!
It's always nice to get away, but there's nothing like the feeling of landing back home in South Texas!
I feel this!
I am a Holler Homestead & Roots & Refuge follower. I really enjoyed this video. So it looks like there are some other wonderful beautiful homesteaders I need to check out. New sub!! ❤
Nicole, THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!! You’re amazing!!! Yup, all of those ladies are amazing!!! Thank you!!
I'm a long-time follower of Jess. Rebecca, Bri and Meg. I couldn't love and adore them more unless I got to spend time with them in person, so I'm very happy to have found you through the baby shower post that youtube offered. They got it right this time. You're adorable and I'm excited to see more from you and your loving family. I'm Holly from Central California with my own tiny garden, herb, flower and fruit tree growing adventure of about 300 plants which of many are potted or small planters due to hard pan soil on less than an acre parcel in the country but it is my happy place too!
Holly! It’s so good to meet you here! Thank you for taking time to say hello AND for watching. You’re right. They are just the best people! I love an herb garden. I’m trying to get mine established at the moment !
Aww! Thanx for the personal reply! Nice to meet you too! I've seen a couple more of your videos now and I love the chemistry between you and your other half/hubby, you guys are adorable! There are only a few herbs so far; lemon balm, lemon basil, chocolate mint, peppermint, sweet basil chamomile, purple basil and rosemary. 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!
Gotta love multi purpose nature! I can't have a cow for so many reasons including the as u, cuz they're amazing! But the raw milk! 😱 And all the so much more. We will def talk more! Love and joy to u and your beautiful "herd"! 💜🥰
I am glad to reconnect with ya'll. Somehow I got unsubscribed but I am BACK! The.love ya'll share as girlfriends is amazing! Now to go binge-watch what I missed. I am in NC west of the Triad, between Charlotte and Winston-Salem
Yay!!!!!! Yes you are back wahoo!!!!! Yea, I don’t know why UA-cam does that sometimes. It’s super weird.
Thank you so much for always joining us!! 😁😁😁
We have moved to Franklin, KY from White House, TN (1/2 hour). It's so much more than that! We bought our first home(stead). The place is 2 years overgrown, but years of being neglected. We are cleaning up, planting a garden, trying to build a greenhouse from old resources. We are having a blast! We own 3 horses and 2 dogs. Come on by as Me, my husband and his mother, Lorraine, transform this place into a Crazy Life Homestead!! Loved this video...I'm on Justin Rhodes directory so have been hooking up with local homesteaders to make a new community of our own! Thank you for the advice!
Love that!!! Huge congrats!!!!! I just subscribed to your channel! 😁👍🏻
@@BetterTogetherLife Thank you, I can't wait to see more! Binge watching like I did with the Hollar homestead
Haha!! Well I wish you the best of luck binging!! 🤣🤣🤣
That’s always a nerve racking thing when someone does that. You might get tired of us!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I fell like I’ve seen a glimpse of what friendship should look like. I’m subscribed to your Chanel but to be honest I’m not sure I’ve ever watched it. I definitely will now. Thank you for sharing your visit with us.
Oh thank you so much for joining us!!! That means a lot!! 😁😁😁
We’d love to know more about your farmstead!
@@BetterTogetherLife I figured it out. I have watched several of your videos in the past about your home build. Great work. It’s wonderful to see how far your family has come. Congratulations!
What a wonderful way to celebrate life and friendship!
I don't know how I got here, but, glad I did. I follow all of the others pictured in your video - so, how did I miss this? Here now.
Oh yay!!!!! Well yes, we are so glad you found the video as well!!
THANK YOU!!!!! Would love to know more about you!!!!
Live in northeast Ohio now, but grew up in east Texas. I’ve been following Jess for a couple of years, and adore her channels, learning so much, and just being blessed by her. I look forward to getting acquainted with you and your family and homestead! Blessings, Marie
Marie! Thank you so much for sharing! I’m glad you’re here. I feel the same way about Jess. Always learning and enjoying with her!
This was very wonderful. You all give us hope for the future. This was a breath of fresh air to know that younger generations might just turn this wayward ship around ❤
That’s so encouraging. Thank you!
I've been watching the Hollar Homestead, Sow the Land, Roots and Refuge, Justin and Rebecca Rhodes, and Bri from Scratch for many years...and after watching this video I'm watching you now too. Hello from East Tennessee.
Oh wow, THANK YOU SO MUCH! Yes being friends with these ladies is amazing, but being able to have our UA-cam presence in the same sentence with these amazing people is unreal!
We are NOT worthy! Haha!!! 😁😁😁
@@BetterTogetherLife As sweet Jess says, I bless you. :)
So special! Praise God that y all have each other! ❤️🙌🙏
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 agree with you guys 💯 about prepping our of fear, or prepping to thrive. That’s my goal! What a great get away with a fantastic group of women.
Love it!!! Thank you!
AWESOME the friendship you all have is beautiful🥰💓💞
Thank you so much Louise!!
Hi! Recently met you on Jess’s channel! Here to see more of what you do!!
Wow thank you so much Holly!!! You are too kind! 😁😁😁
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.
Oh THANK YOU Elizabeth!!!! Yes! We are totally the same.
We want ALL THE PLANTS!!! 🤣🤣
@@BetterTogetherLife me too! I want to grow all the things. I can't pass up a seed display without grabbing something. I'm grateful for you and your friends for bringing inspiration and sharing your lives with people like me. It makes me feel connected even though we don't know each other. And it's nice to get fresh ideas for things. God bless.
Accurate! 😂
❤ 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.
Oh, my. What a heavy loss. I’m so very sorry. Rich friendship take such risk and vulnerability and loss is a true grief. What a beautiful place she holds in your heart.
Hi,I'm from Texas, Mesquite, Texas. I watch all the people you were with. I wish I could have done that. You are so blessed.
I'm late to the party, but I found you through Jess' podcast and loved how profound your thoughts were on God, family and friendship. looking forward to following along as you grow your farm and your family.
I’m so glad you’re here! Welcome!
Absolutely loved the conversation we had. You are as beautiful and genuine in real life as you are in your videos. So great to see the rest of your trip. Thanks for taking us along❤
I love you so much, friend! And so thankful the Lord saw fit for us to sit and tallllllk and real life hug!
What a beautiful priceless blessing you all have together.
It is such a treasure!
I just loved watching this video. Thank you for sharing.
Wow THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!
This was such a lovely video you shot! ❤
Oh thank you sooooooo much Gillian!!! It was such a great weekend!!
Thank you for sharing this! What a precious thing you did for Meg and each other. You young women are so inspiring and fun and some of the hardest working women I have come to love on UA-cam. This warmed my heart to watch you be sister friends and play. Your love shines brightly. And you give this great grandmother hope for the future. I hope you all realize that what you are sharing and teaching makes a difference on many levels. Thank you again.
Sister friends. That’s so accurate and lovely! Thank you for encouraging our hearts!
I watch all the other channels you mention. However at Jess's house was the only place I saw you. I,m in rural central Nebraska. It's nice to meet you!
They’re all so great! Thanks for being here!
You ladies have no idea how much your blessed to have each other, to have those beautiful ladies and call them your friends I would give everything I own to have a group of ladies in my life like you have I love everyone of those ladies and have been watching them all for a very long time and they all bless me Bri and I share a restoration story I’ve walked through my restoration and she’s just walking through hers but I will keep praying she gets it to the end, what a beautiful woman time you had thanks for sharing it
We are so grateful! And YOU are so encouraging. How wonderful!
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 😂🎉❤
Nice to meet you. I'm a regular subscriber to all of your friends. I'm surprised that it has taken the algorithm this long to introduce us. I'm looking forward to getting to know you and your family better. I'll be scheduling in some time to Bing on past episodes of your Better Together Homestead Channel. I'm feel Better Together already. Blessings abundant to you and yours today and always. 💜🙏💜
I’m so glad it brought us together ❤️. Thanks for being here, Peggy!
still love my spam! I can cook. I do know how to can, dehydrate and so on, my sardines and peanut butter are a wonderful addition to my pantry... I have no cow, I have no chickens HOA frowns on it. but I have a garden and a pantry full of food, Praise God!!!
You are doing great Cheryl!!! Most people don’t know how to cook!
Hi. I'm in North Texas, near Dallas but I'm moving to East Texas very soon. Hello, fellow Texas homesteader!
Wahooo!!!! More Texas homesteader friends!!! Love it!!!!
I’m so glad that I found you through roots and refuge! I love that there are some central Texas folks on here we can learn from and connect with! I’m between Temple and Waco.
So nice to see such a great friendship. Also nice to see you ladies relax a little bit.
We did and it was so lovely 🥰
I’m in SoCal, that’s California. The looney left isn’t everywhere here. Some of us are staying, and connecting, to take advantage of our climate for homesteading, and fighting to try to save this state. Downside is we don’t get a rest in winter! But we can grow year round so need half the space. Theoretically! Excited to follow you too!
Go go go! 👏 stand firm and share all the truth goodness and beauty right where the Lord has placed you. I feel you on the rest. Ours is usually the summer bc we can do so little in 100+ degrees. I bet your growing seasons are so lovely.
Hey I’m in Wisconsin. Found my way here from Jess’s channel! Looking forward to seeing more of your content 😊
Yay!!!!! Thank you so so much! It’s been amazing to meet so many of Jess’s people! Thank you thank you for stopping by and would love to know more about you!
We love chatting with friends here in the comments.
I have been a fan of all your friends for years, but it all started with Jess. She introduced me to the other families and now you. I w as born in Killeen, Texas, but have lived in NC most of my life. I will be keeping up with you now. From one Texan to another, have a blessed day!❤
So glad you’re here! You’re right… once a Texan, always a Texan!
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.
We want all the grannies 🥰! A community garden! That’s amazing. I really do wish every person got the chance to grow something in the life time. It changes you! I’m so glad you’re here!
yes I KNOW! I'M on a trip right now. it's almost planting time at home! ugh We're in Texas right now! heading to Baker Creek spring festival.
Have fun!
