    Hey thanks for the video! My wife and I are Mennonite, I work for an Amish guy where we manufacture metal roofing and trims plus we have a lumber yard. I can get all those materials at cost (my boss is awesome!). My question is, WHAT AM I WAITING FOR! we have a nice place on two acres and we grow mums and high tunnel tomatoes, but we would love to grow and expand. I'm ready to get off my duff and get this ball rolling! Thanks for lighting a fire under my feet 😄.

    Thank you for all of your information. We sold our overpriced South Florida home with barely a yard and we bought a small farmhouse with 112 acres in middle Georgia. We love the peace and are starting our homestead little by little. Your videos inspire us

    I came across your channel through this video-
    case studies are incredibly valuable, and I'm eager
    to see more in the future! Building wealth involves
    establishing routines, like consistently setting aside
    funds at regular intervals for smart investments.

      You're correct. I think the smartest way to go is
      to spread out your investments. By putting
      your money into different asset classes like
      bonds, real estate, and stocks from other
      countries, you can lower the risk if one part of
      the market goes bad.

      That sounds like a good plan. In the past two
      years, working closely with a financial market
      specialist, I've built a six-figure diversified
      stock portfolio. Now, I aim to diversify even
      more this year.

    This is outside the scope of this video, but it came to mind when I saw the title. The thing that has been bothering me for a while is more the whole process of starting any business. I am thinking it is broken down into the following general stages:
    1 Market Research (Will the product sell?)
    2 Regulations (What sort of hoops do you have to jump through for the business?)
    3 Production Process (Can you produce the product?)
    4 Cost and financing (How much will it cost, and how will you pay for it?)
    5 Marketing (Can you sell the product once you have made it?)
    The only one I am confident on is 3.
    1 and 5 I just have no idea how to do, and 3 also really worries me.
    4 is somewhat concerning, but I have a decent nest egg, and if the rest of it is solid I can probably find investors.
    Unfortunately, I have not had much luck finding useful information on how to do 1, 2, and 5.

Having only visited rural areas, part of me loves the idea of a country life and part of me wants a city life, so I don’t know how I would balance the two, but I definitely see the importance of growing your own food, protecting the environment, and building a community.

      My family and I are in the same position. Thanks to her videos we found Farm Credit West (AGWestFC) for the loan and we close on our first 3 acres this weekend. We are moving to bare land, into a 5th wheel, onto 3 acres of alfalfa hay. :) We have no real clue how to do any of this, but are doing it anyway, along with bringing out 4 kids. Moving out of the suburbs to a very rural city.
      It took us several years of looking before everything lined up. We pray a lot of thanks to God! We've met some incredibly amazing and helpful people along the way, many of them living in the new town we'll be moving to.
      I truly wish you the best of luck in your journey!

I have watched many of your videos but it's still no clear to me why you didn't choose the USDA program. I hope you can make a video, if you haven't, about the different benefits of these programs; advantage and disadvantage of one over the other. Thank you for your work.

    The best most profitable farms to buy are the ugly outside ones you don't even see.... with mountains of trash everywhere from squatters, dilapidated barns and sinking old equipment. Where you can spend 5 years doing farming clean-up. Believe me they exist....you don't see them buried in trash and overgorwth. I found a huge great barn on mine nobody even knew was there because it had jungled.

    Hi, I am following your channel because I want to learn from your experience and i want to buy land in Northern California, then 2 questions if you know only: Can i use the legal way of living trust if I buy land? Can I put in the land a tower also for an internet company,? I don't know if is allowed, can i use a part of the land for agricultural purposes only and the rest for self sufficient garden for vegetables and fruits? did you have any problems with water and sewer system? thanks in advance and I advice anyone to follow this path, buy land, an apartment in my area is 1.2 m that's insane, lot of friends moved to other states because of that, I don't trust the media, I follow the logical way and I believe this channel and similar channels also are a great way for ordinary people to get a better option to own something.

    I like your videos, n it’s informative on how to do things n get farm land etc.. n I haven’t not recommended your channel yet cuz I salute 🫡 ur efforts. I’ve done similar I live in east tn now I’m from jersey I got land down here n a house WE built ourselves. Thing is tho.. everything I have I OWN I’m not paying on it.. your videos would be better if PPL saw u get ur hands dirty.. show us u in a garden or moving cows or feeding chickens etc.. this American society today is all a show.. it LOOKS good but the fruits are little.. bring back the REAL. I’m 38 tired of things LOOKING good.

    How do you know what scale to start at? Starting too small can't be good because of growth and expanding but starting to large is also seemingly overwhelming. This is my dream to be a farmer and make a sustainable living off of it to no longer need a cooperate job but I am not sure where to start officially.

      I would recommend small - my barn and land is wayyyy more than I would ever actually need. I would start with just 2-3 acres and you absolutely do not need a 2,600-sq-ft barn. I went too big haha!

      Why get more than ten rurally if there is no business plan, really... you need fuel to get it to market, etc if its rural, also. At the start you always have to prove a business plan on paper to usda

    I Spy a Star link antenna in the background! 🧐 how is that working out for ya ?? I am considering the same for my new homestead ranch but the only issue is, I have 15 acres ( some of it open grass land , some of it meadows , some of it heavily wooded , and about 2 acres of stocked Pond). So I might have to get multiple antennas to get good ground coverage. I looked into some rural internet providers but the bandwidth they offer was way too low for my needs. Anyways just trying to see how much that one Star link antenna actually covers.
