A Garden Update Walk (and a Far Off Dream) | VLOG

[@craftygranny8035]

A community homesteading cooperative is an idea I've had for quite a while!! Different crops, meat and dairy. Land that produces the ability to barter and thrive in a healthy simple lifestyle.

[@harvestenthusiast4519]

Sounds great just don't list it with the government website☝🏼💖

[@lanalovesjesus6133]

Same!

[@littlecountrykitchen]

I've had this dream too! There is 120 acres for sale in next town over and I wish I had the capital to make 5 acre homsteads!!!!

[@katylee1914]

The problem is that these large tracts of land are being bought up and developers pack them full of cheap houses. I wish people would stop selling land to developers!!

[@delmadehoyos1946]

Like your comment @craftygranny....gives me more hope as I am a granny too and would love a small property to homestead....I see I am not alone at this age. It is sad....quite a bit o property here is sold to foreign interests. Continued prayer is essential regarding all of this. Thank you

[@rachelaloisio2399]

That is such a good idea Jess. You could section off one acre of land each and rent them out and even start their garden beds for them and help and teach them homesteading. A LOTTT of people would love to live in a community like that. Learning and teaching each other things about gardening and about life🥰

[@spontaneousun]

I love this community living idea, it’s like a homestead iteration on permaculture communities! I helped to start co-op housing at my university years ago and it was such a fulfilling experience. There is something to being able to lift each other up through forming supportive communities and establishing communal resources 💛 Edit to add - I have recently experienced some health challenges and was thrilled to learn there was a medical supply loan closet in our county. Such a huge benefit to be able to access a wheelchair and accessibility devices at no cost when insurance is playing games. Feeling very grateful 😊

[@teresamariner4238]

Prayers things get better health wise. God bless. So glad you had that option available for loaner equipment .

[@spontaneousun]

@@teresamariner4238 Thank you Teresa 💛 It really has been a blessing. I’m certainly putting in the work to try and stabilize and get back to work, but it’s definitely a marathon and not a sprint. Just got to take it day by day as it comes, it’s a lot like tending to a garden in that way.

[@tennisisme222]

Jess, I can only imagine what the future looks like for your family...your boys have so many doors open for them through the dreams of your family! So happy for Noah! I say it all the time in comments but your laugh and joy just makes me smile. Much love from Texas! :)

[@marygrott8095]

Believe it or not, I have that same dream, Jess. No necessarily purchasing all that land, but living in a homesteading community is my ideal dream.

[@jagoosw6368]

Me too!

[@teresamariner4238]

Me, three!

[@lr9152]

Me four!!

[@krystinruzzano5855]

I feel the same way. It's nerve racking to think of buying a place and doing this on your own (as is my goal), but having like minded people and resources would be awesome, even just for trading, and encouragement.

[@patriotmama]

We have had that dream too Jess and frankly, the way the world is going, not a bad idea. Having community of like minded people with different skills and still enough space that you are not on top of each other is a dream of great worth. We are so very blessed and thankful that we are out here in the "middle of nowhere". Many of our friends are town dwellers and love coming here for dinner or just to hang out and help in the garden, learn to can food and we love having them. We are so very blessed by that and they in turn bless us by their friendship and love. Congratulations to Noah!!

[@BlacksTropicalHomestead]

Community is very important SoilSista! We started an yearly homesteading event called SoilFamily Expo here in Savannah Georgia where we invite our KZbin family to help encourage and teach homesteading. Absolutely amazing seeing everyone and learning for one another. I think an event for homesteading should be held everywhere!! It was nice meeting you over the weekend at HOA and we hope to visit your farm soon 💜

[@rainfalls2964]

✨Im just going to say it...✨ Not only are you a wonderful, brillient, teacher and friend but I love love love that you are a trail blazer for learning itsself. I love that you instill in me to dream and learn how to make my dreams come true. 💫 BLESSED BE 🦉

[@rlsstar]

My father and I are both Realtors in east Texas, us and my brother regularly talk about developing a homestead community of sorts! YES PLEASE KEEP PUTTING THAT DREAM OUT THERE! You might not have to buy the land all y’alls selves when it comes to real estate there are many ways to buy and share property.

[@kateharper7437]

How can we do that!? I feel so sick letting the most beautiful 50 acres In a rural area get scooped up by developers and bulldozed. Ive tried researching but to no avail. How can someone purchase land and do this with essentially no capital to start? Thanks for any info

[@HomesteadOnAPrayer]

You just described the exact dream I’ve had for a while! I keep telling my husband that I’d love to have a community where everyone owns their own property, but where we’re surrounded by other families living in community. Of course I’m the dreamer and he’s the practical one, so he always brings me back down to reality, but I would so love to make the dream a reality someday.

[@karionhawkins3091]

The thing about dreams is that they belong to you and no one can take them away, they stay in your heart

[@gardeningsimplified]

A little note about planting leek. It works best multi sowing the seeds in cell trays, because we generally want the long white stem. You can grow them about 10 inches tall, then separate them out and plant them about 6 inches deep.

[@rochellecleary8346]

Last summer season (New Zealand based) I grew 25 tomato plants from seed in my little backyard garden for the first time because of you. At the same time I fell pregnant and the smell of tomato plants and the taste of fresh tomatoes made me sick! This season I am hoping I will finally get to enjoy my harvest. I hope next summer you get to enjoy your tomatoes too! Thank you for everything that you do :-)

[@fareebug8439]

I'm all about homestead neighborhoods 💗💗💗 this is a wonderful idea 💡

You know when you’ve done well when one’s children have to ask where the lighters are. Or the matches, candles and kitchen knives. Not to mention the painkillers or cold remedies. After hosting at Abundance +, Jess, you’re positively glowing. It’s heartwarming to see. 🇬🇧 x

[@jillthomas4926]

Fall is my favorite time of year too! I love seeing the harvest come in for a season of rest

[@Victoria.Stein0201]

I have had the same idea for years and years. Hoping one day I get to see my dream come to fruition.

[@thebakingsideoflife4870]

Just the other day I was talking with my brother about a homestead community and how I wish there was a way to make that happen. I was feeling a little crazy for thinking that but I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who has that distant dream.

[@lydiabrooks2302]

Jess, I love you, Miah and your family (friends). You make me feel like I could hope again in a hopeless/dreamless life. When I grow up (I'm 60) I would like to be more like you. I pray that all your dreams come to fruition as they line up with God's will for your life. I bless you.

There has been a huge movement in Canada of off-grid communities turning “Clear-Cut” areas into sustainable communities! Just thought I would mention it, in case anyone here wanted to look into it! Hope you are all doing well!!🇨🇦😎🇨🇦

Hello can I ask you where these communities are located , please ty

[@shelleyhender8537]

@@Kelleena1on1 GoodMorning Kelleena ~ the communities I’m referring to are in the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and British Columbia.

But, if you search for the community in Nova Scotia with the key words CLEAR CUT, OFF GRID, and NOVA SCOTIA, it should take you there. I know the others were successful in finding it. It was only 1 of many in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and BC, but it’s the only documentary that I know off by heart. I hope this helps.

[@not2tees]

That dream of a rural self sufficient community is alive and well and in the hearts of many who aren't farmers at all, and others who are started in farming, but the times generate such dreams in all of us, and certainly KZbin is one reason this vision is afoot.

Jess, I also hold a dream of living in what I call a community based compound one day, so your dream resonates with me, and I will put you in my prayers for that dream, no matter when it comes to fruition for either of us. Be well. I love your channel.

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning everyone happy Thursday morning and I hope you all having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you all amazing Supporter

[@shandysgarden]

That's what I keep dreaming of!! I've called it a "compound" when telling my family about it. I saw a documentary about a green community with no cars, all kinds of gardens, a community center and several ponds. So, to me, it's what I'd call a modern Amish type community, where everybody contributes their time and skills. There's even a main Kitchen where everybody rotates working and they cook for everyone. I can't imagine anybody living there still having an outside career. It seems so self-reliant and sustainable. They've built different parts of this community over the years, and you can tell by looking at the different types of structures of those pieces. The most recent area that they developed was very similar to an apartment building. It was multi floors and there were nice balconies. I can't, for the life of me, remember where it is. Nobody ever is moving, and if they are it's typical for a child to purchase that property and move in. It's sort of a legacy neighborhood and very expensive. That's what got me thinking about expanding my dreams!! Maybe it was about you voicing your idea and someone else actually making it possible. Maybe it's something one of your boys can tackle. Either way, I'll keep watching your journey ❤️

[@ecocentrichomestead6783]

Volunteer plants making it feel like home 😁 It is exciting when the land starts taking on the vibe and vision of the person that tends it! Homesteading neighborhood: Angela of parkrose permaculture mentioned a similar desire. I suggested she talk often to her neighbors and try convincing them to adopt the lifestyle.

[@oakanna44]

I had to pause the video halfway to comment lol -- the community homestead is something I've been dreaming of as well!! But, like you, the means of even starting a project like that is so far and away, it may never come to fruition. However, you guys have proven to me countless times over the benefit of DREAMING BIG!! ✨ Even if we can never accomplish those seemingly impossible dreams, it is SO worth it to continue dreaming, as you'll find new, smaller ideas along that path that will prove just as worthwhile 💕 I'm planning on having my own little "farm stand" at my home to sell edible food starts, some of my homegrown produce, and maybe even some little bouquets! This dream has been largely fueled by your continued passion~ THANK YOU!! 💕

[@Theclancyfamilyhomestead]

This dream speaks to my heart SOOO much! I’m so lucky that where I live I have amazing neighbors who are living similarly and ate willing to help. Plus my parents bought 40 acres 5 minutes away and we plan to help each other in our self sufficient journey.

[@sovereignprovisions]

That’s awesome! Did you and your parents want to do this for a while or how did it develop?

[@jaclynfrank]

I've been watching that war time kitchen and garden show since you've mentioned it and it's great! My husband liked it too! I think the chickens in that garden area are the happiest little things at the moment.

[@virginiadodgen2787]

Jess, we had 3 pigs our 1st year in the country. The next summer my husband discovered several tomato plants with ripe tomatoes that were doing better than our garden tomatoes were. We were so excited .This was back in 1971 1972 . We had 15 acres and lived and loved that old farmhouse and land for the next 39 years. We retired and moved to the mountains 12 yrs ago. Have 13 acres here and once again love where I live alone having lost my husband last year. Now have raised beds and growing my own food.

I didn't film much this weekend either, just the video you were so wonderful as to film with me and a whole bunch of animal footage. 🤣🤣🤣 Again I appreciate you so much taking the time to do that and for everything else you do! I've always loved the idea of a commune except it lacks the independence and autonomy of ownership! Anything that's not yours entirely can be taken from you and I have had enough of that with landlords selling properties I've lived in! A homesteaders community though... That sounds lovely!!!

[@teresamariner4238]

Yes, it does!!!

[@marking-time-gardens]

Totally agree with you Dani. Another benefit would be that you know that your neighbor would not be spraying harmful chemicals right next door. Also, as neighbors/neighborhoods with the same mindset and goals, would truly be a great support for one another. Hope you are doing well. Blessings on your day Kiddo!🥰🌻🌼🍁🍂🌾

[@phyrewillow6463]

There are so many different ways that people could set up homesteading communities! For people who just want to have a few neighbors that they know and can help each other out when needed, to those who could live on a smaller plot of land to just have a garden, and support a central farm for grains, staple crops, and livestock. I hope many people all over start developing the idea.

Thank you for taking the time out of your crazy busy life to do these videos for us. You were a big player in inspiring us to chase our dreams. A few months ago arrived on our forever homestead! We left the city behind and never looked back! The only downside is the land is totally raw so we have to build all our barns, fencing etc so we are having to wait to get our livestock. BUT we are planting perennials and fruit trees and building gardens! I grew up on a homestead and I am impressed by your knowledge. Bravo!!! Sending much love from Canada

For everyone asking about homesteading communities, I know that there's something of the sort in Utah, called Riverbed Ranch. They bill themselves as a "resident-owned off-grid farming community," and they make various buildings using haybale construction, compressed earth, and earthbags. Beyond that, I know nothing about them, but just thought I'd put that information out there.

I just want you to know how much you have inspired me. First off, I live in South Georgia. My husband had a job change this spring and so we moved into a rental while we search for the perfect property for us. I have since gotten permission from my landlord to put in a garden and have chickens! I need to do a lot of clearing to get more sunlight but in the meantime I've gotten two green stalks to plant and six chicks. I am struggling with some health issues that slow me down but I'm determined. And I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Thank you for sharing your journey. Thank you for inspiring and encouraging me and so many others.

No matter how I feel just moments in my garden singing & thanking God lift my spirit and then my body. Our spirit, mind program is working!!! Because of you, my grand daughter Marigold & I had our last Dr. Wyche tomato sandwich of the season. We love our tomatoes on sourdough but this one was on wheat because it was better than nothing. I would have never believed I could grow such an awesome fruit. Our sun gold tomato seeds must have crossed with something because the fruit were the size of golf balls. But Mari still enjoyed fresh tomatoes up to last Friday when our first frost struck one week early. We’ve gotten all the peppers, tomatoes & herbs for teas & cooking.

Jessica, I want to share with you some of the tips I've learned from my own journey with sensitive skin. I know you're already making changes to your wardrobe. Stick with natural fibers for anything that touches your skin, socks, underwear, t-shirts etc. I've switched to organic laundry soap and face cleanser, organic makeup (when I wear it), organic shampoo, apple cider vinegar and spring water conditioner and a little dab of coconut oil to tame my flyaway hair. Organic coconut oil is my choice for face and body lotion. Everything we put on our bodies in absorb through our skin. I feel your pain and wish I could take it away.

A community living situation , where people share excess harvest and barter with time spent instead of money, would be a dream come true. Thanks for all the inspiration and reminding me that others have similar dreams❤

Hello 👋, Holy Waters Homestead here.. Have you looked into Babington’s Top Setting Perennial Leeks? The Backyard Larder has a lot of great info about it but in short it’s Cold Hardy to USDA Zone 5, with mulching. This plant is similar to the walking onion in that it forms bulblets on the flowering stalk, which can be replanted the following year. This leek also forms an underground bulb from which many new leeks emerge from the follow year allowing this perennial leek to be dug up and spread throughout the food forest very easily and you ll have leeks for dayzzzzzz. ❤ watching God bless 🙏

As much as you can considering you just went to the homesteading conference and you have so many kids and big farm and all your dreams to attend to. You and Jeremiah are just amazing and so inspiring. Even when you're resting and sitting on the porch shelling peas and giving us your wisdom. I'm from Virginia and have lived in Washington state for the last 36 years. City girl in Seattle but country girl from Virginia. Always wanted to live off the land and have community. I just really love you guys, it's like vicarious living being with you guys during your daily living and your beautiful family and farm. I myself love to garden and play music when I'm not in my massage studio working trying to keep up with the expensive Seattle lifestyle. My dream is rural community. Always thought I would have had that holistic healing community by now that serves a larger purpose as an example. Helping heal and teach others healthy lifestyle and spiritual community and appreciation for the beauty of life in nature, the arts, growing and cooking food and self sufficient living and sharing resources and knowledge. When you're a dreamer with a big heart it's easy to bite off more than you can chew. But with your charismatic personality I believe that you can advance this back to the land movement sustainable living that us old folks dreamed of when we were Young! I just want you to get all the help you need to grow to fruition all your ideas and dreams and for you to take care of yourself. Bless you!
