Lol, dealing with the congestion pace concrete and noise of city life is a real challenge when you are more in the rythum of nature. I have a postage stamp sized homestead on the outskirts of a large city. When I get outside my own yard I'm baffled how people can exist just piled on top of each other with little to no connection with nature and the rythum of life itself. I really don't even need a clock, the roosters get me up. We eat mainly out of our garden when we are hungry and go to bed when we are tired. I'm about the same parallel as Phoenix but all the way out to the east coast. So we have a very long growing season but tropical rain forest not desert. Humidity is our bain not drought. So glad you are here in America now. I know as you listen to the Father he will lead you to your purpose here. As you know America is in a transition back to our founding roots. And I'm sure you play a part in helping people to make this natural transition. You are the first blogger I started following. And you a your family has been a great encouragement and wealth of knowledge to me as I first started raising chickens and gardening. I had taken premaculture courses on line. But watching you made it come to life for me. Thank you and keep moving forward. You are a blessing to many.
Have a marine friend and his family that moved there a year ago and he says it’s HOT there! Blessings from California 😊🙏🏻💜
My grandpa immigrated from Norway and had frequent complaints about all things US.
I wondered why he just didn’t stay. They did things so much better there.
I’m retired now, but I have worked many times over my working career in Arizona. I love the area a lot, the natural beauty can be breathtaking. My takeaway on the awesome beauty of their landscaping, always made me want to come back. I have to be honest, it looked like their system maintaining their shrubs and flowers was to simply water what they wanted to grow and not water what they wanted to die. America is a very large country, no doubt in time you and your wonderful family will find the home of your dreams.
I’ve been following your channel for many years. Good to see you in Arizona. You should also check out the Olive Mill in Queen Creek . Sometimes they have gardens there.
Hey guys, check out the local libraries. Tons of info for families.
I feel your pain about driving in Phoenix, my aunt had to have surgery, and mom an d ended up driving from NM once a month to take her to her DRs appointment's. We live in a town where seeing all four school buses is rush hour traffic!
I can't wait to watch your journey and homesteading.
Living Traditions Homestead started homesteading in Phoneix. They are on a farm in Missouri now. Maybe connect with them.
If when looking for land give Maine a look at prices that are fair. Climate very munch like what your used too.
I think they have their heart set on Tennessee
Welcome to Arizona! ❤😃👍
I have eaten there at the downtown cafe was very good! I have heard about the actual farm but never visited it on my travels.
East Tennessee often has very warm winters that can trick profit trees into blooming early. The weather here can be quite strange. Also lots of pests.
You should visit Proof Bread in downtown Mesa. They source all their grains locally and grind themselves. :)
I’m glad that you showed that they had to bring in outside soil for their garden. I thought that there was something wrong with how I did things on my urban homestead because I have to bring in outside soil for my garden beds. This was a great reassurance to me because I’m not able to produce nearly enough compost on my own.
My impression is that Arizona is rocks and sand so everything needs to be amended
Amazing how much AZ has grown. Family used to have a resort home off the Golf course in Glendale, back when you drove in off the desert into the small town. Was it that long ago or do things changed that quickly these days? Yours is an enviable adventure. Thanks for sharing. God bless you all.
Ya'll went with the hope of relaxing and enjoying the farm experience and God gave enrichment to you and the young men that spoke about God, both got blessings! I know you can't wait to find your land/hone farm and start working on your plans to enrich the land with what you have learned, not to have to walk away from it after stewarding it but to grow it and love it for you and your family's legacy! Blessings abound to those that Love God!
Wonderful!
I enjoyed the video.
God bless.
Glad you were able to have a family outing-just the 5 of you exploring your surroundings. There will be advice & critiques by some well-meaning people on here-& some just judgmental cranks. I’m praying for God to lead you to the right place for your plans & for you to be sensitive to His will & promptings. Much Love to 💞each of you as you find God’s path & His plan. 🙏
‘the 6 of you!!’ I hit the wrong #!!
I'm in Texas and just picked zucchini off my plant. My lettuce is really growing. Love having veggies on the garden still.
So good to see you guys out and about. We only go to the city when we have to but mainly just hang out on the farm. Can't wait until you guys settled down on your forever home.
Wish you guys could join us on Whidbey Island, WA. What part of Sweden are you from? My husband is from Växjö and we are visiting family there in a couple of weeks
Arizona is a different place for growing I prefer the southern states hope u get to enjoy it here many blessings from North Texas ❤
Have you come across "The Edge of Nowhere Farm", also Phoenix, Arizona. They are UA-cam vloggers. Duane and Lori Wittmann
Donna here, I have a question about asparagus. As a half German living in the rural south, I have not seen white asparagus here. Is it a different kind, or is it just not matured green? If that is the case, I could try growing it myself. In my 60s now, really missing my German roots (food, family, country), such a different feel from the US.
0:15 Hmm I would not feel save with my kid not having aproper seatbelt on
“We didn’t have to do that in Europe”
I love how GOD fills our cup with his love right when we need it. Thank you JESUS
DANKE HERR GOTT ❤️❤️❤️
GLORY BE TO GOD AMEN HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH
FROM SE MICHIGAN 🛐🛐🛐✝️✝️🀄🀄🀄🙏🌹🥀🌹🥀🌹🥀. Until next time. ICH LIEBE DICH ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🛐🛐
Nice to see chickens and farm
Right in the middle of the City.
Great video and a good take.
There is a chicken farm and hatchery in Wadell over by Suprise. I justvordered some hatching eggs for my wife from them because we weren't able to get down there. It would be cool if you guys could check them out too. I think its AZ chickens or something like that.
Sure you will like this just paste YT>> Land was barren. He dug 10-acre underground village & orchard
How much were the eggs?
Just curious if the two you met were Mormon missionaries? Gilbert has a large Mormon population. As a former Mormon they talk Christ but they are totally a work based religion. They have what they call the PLAN of salvation not salvation through Christ alone but they are some of the friendliest people you will meet. They are ALWAYS looking for converts. Two of my active mormon grandkids served their Mormon missions in the Phoenix area and loved it. The youth in the Mormon church are pressured to serve a 2 year mission for the 18 year old boys and a year and a half mission for the 19 year old girls.
I'm not Mormon but I have known several and I much prefer them to some of the other brands of religion. They at least try to live what they believe.
@@JamesCouch777 Yes they do try to do their best to live their religion because they are taught they are saved by grace after all they can do instead of the general saved by grace alone by what Christ did that most all Christian denominations believe. I raised my kids in the Mormon religion and it is very structured and organized. It works great for people that love and need that structure.
Not LDS.
@@pollydunn3191It’s great as far as a lifestyle goes, but it is not the truth. It will not lead you to the one true God. Their Jesus is not the God of the Bible, it is a polytheistic religion, many gods.
Simeon may I ask where do you want to have your home. and work?
Stated on previous videos, Tennessee was the destination.
sorry I guess I was not paying attention@@johanna6050
welcome to America! When you were still in Austria, I try to tell you of the culture shock, that things had changed a lot since your last visit. You are coming off as a critic, as someone who is second guessing his choices. YEAH, this is not Austria, its not even the US that I grew in. Try to warn. Do us a favor, dont do a talking head video, that format is gotten old, its over done... talk all you want but show the surroundings . You ve changed since your arrival. Good luck
Things are changing everywhere in the world, not just America.
@@johanna6050 yes but it’s most notable here where the constitution is being ignore and they lie an get away with it.. and if people don’t side up we will end up losing the republic
@@desertedenblooms “The sky is falling.”
Relax and give them a chance to soak it in. I didn't find anything he said over-critical. Plenty of homesteaders would agree with what he said. Culture shock doesn't wear off in a couple weeks.
@@domlaw1035 NO ITS NOT, JUST OUR CONSTITUTION.. stop taking statements out context
