How We Found Our Arkansas Homestead | & Kimchi Results

[@twilatackett7814]

Welcome to Arkansas! My husband and I live in the small community of Japton that is south of Huntsville, AR not far north of where you are located. We love the Ozarks. We were both born here and it is home. We both went to college in Monticello, AR after we got married in 1980. He got his degree in Forestry and I got mine in Accounting. After getting our degrees we both worked for the university for 24 years and raised our son there. When he got a band scholarship to the university at Fayetteville, we decided nothing was holding us there any longer and wanted to live our dream of moving back home. We raise broiler chickens and bale hay for local farmers. We live on around 600 acres with my husband’s parents and with our son and his wife and our two grandchildren. It’s a wonderful place to live. It’s God’s country for sure!

In the late 70s I bought 80 acres in north east Arkansas while my husband was in Germany! My father-in-law saw it with me and said it was good. My husband was happy with me doing that.

[@albanymountainhomestead]

Welcome to Arkansas, I also live in the Ozark Mountains and love it! We are between some bigger cities off the I40. Plenty of outdoor activities here, it is the natural state after all... Would love it if more of the homestead community got together in Arkansas more without the cost like other's seek to profit from.

[@Mimisfamilytable]

Your property is gorgeous, but just wait til you see it in the spring time. There is nothing as beautiful as the Ozarks in spring. The daffodils, dogwoods, forsythia will be a sight to behold.

When we found our property it was love at first sight, we prayed about it a lot as well and when it's God's will, everything falls together beautifullly. I been watching some of your other videos to catch up on 🙂 Shabbat Shalom! And Welcome Neighbors!

[@grandmasewhappyhomestead187]

Praise God for your answered property. God has shown me something several years ago and I'm waiting for his Direction and timing. I'm not sure exactly where it is but I had someone I know at a wedding one day start sharing a picture of a home in a property that I know was the one that God has been showing me I just don't know where. It felt like a confirmation. I love to see when God unfolds his provision his ways and miracles for people

In today's age it seems we might forget God speaks to us, but in my experience he does! He speaks to us and answers our prayers. He answers prayers from the heart, the ones we even fear requesting, so has been my case. Truly hope he answers your prayers 🙏 and you arrive to your promised land!

[@susansummers8393]

Like you, we looked online for properties in Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee. We found our little house in NCentral Arkansas, we found a local realtor (who by chance is our local Sheriff) asked him to walk through the house and do a small video. Like you all, the house had been on the market for less than 24 hours and already had a contingency on it. We went ahead and put an offer on it. Our realtor told us we would have to wait until the time limit of the other contingency was over before we got an answer. Well, 5 minutes after the other contingency concluded we received a call and our offer was accepted. The first time we saw the house was on the day of our inspection. Like you, we knew there were things that needed to be done to the house. Some immediate others that could wait. We closed on our little house on January 8, 2021. Moved here in mid-March and our property in Florida sold by end of March 2021. We have had no regrets moving to our small community of 4,800.

God's in this... and carry on! So happy for you and Geoff. God bless. ❤✝️

[@dancnluc1]

What a beautiful story. I have to say I teared up hearing it. It makes me realize dreams can come true. Thirty-five years ago, my ex and I were looking for a place - he was military. I remember seeing a place in the newspaper that I wanted to check out. He said no. A month later, he says I think I found a place, and we are going to look at it." It turned out to be the place I wanted. It was only 3 acres with a pond, chicken coop, a small barn, and a garden area. Behind it was 400 acres of logging timber, which we never saw anyone except surveyors. We raised a couple of pigs and cows there. Unfortunately, 2 years later, we got transferred, so we ended up selling it. I want to find a place in the south to settle down. I live with a cousin in the mountain area of PA where we have chickens and a garden, plus I can forage on the property. My heart wants back in the South to get closer to my kids. LOL on the fermented kimchi. Sounds like your going to have to hide it from him next time to let it ferment all the way.

[@janetchisolm-richard6225]

Glad the kimchi came out well.

[@carlapoorman8137]

Constance, I just found your channel yesterday and have been watching a lot of your videos, especially the ones of your journey of moving to Arkansas. We, too, have just last year, purchased a property that is a bit over 10 acres of woodland, undeveloped. We took our 401k nest to purchase the property because we continued to see that it was losing value, and it would most likely be nothing left of it. It wasn't a huge nest egg but enough to where we could get a chance to get a good-sized piece of land. We bought it last February, and at first, it was initially going to be a great place for our family to go hunting on and eventually make a private family camp ground. After talking with the neighbor who owns an adjoining 17 acres, we found he was possibly going to sell it! Beautiful piece with his original home and a gorgeous pond and 10 acres of woods right next to ours. It's a year later and we still have yet to hear from him about selling: ( We left a country home 16 years ago to get closer to get closer to my husband's job but we are retired and have got to get back to the country!! We also were considering going to Arkansas and ran into the very same issue that you all did. Everything we considered was already under contract, and also, we just felt moving to another state .It would be very hard to leave the rest of our family back here in Illinois.

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

It is definitely a trying time. Many of us are doing what we can to prepare for all the “what ifs” but there’s only so much we can do. I hope you get the answers you are seeking, and if it is to stay near family - that you are filled with peace by that.

[@christinenatvig2313]

I love that opening shot of the cockerel crowing. In the last video, it suddenly brought back a distant memory from my long-past youth, when attending my local 'flea pit' (cinema) matinée, as we called it in 50's Liverpool. They had B&W films by British Pathé with that image and sound right at the start. I doubt if familiar in the USA. I tried to provide a link here, but there is no sound clip available (copyright) to show 😞 Now, on to watch this next instalment.

Thanks for sharing. I was wondering myself but didnt ask. What you said about asking the Lord to close all doors if it wasn't his will for you to be there is exactly what I prayed 10 years ago before we moved to our little 5 acre homestead we are still at now. I found myself saying this will be our last home ....but I find myself looking at other properties...not sure why when I love what we've built together with my husband. However, I think sometimes there is a reason why I'm looking and open to what God may have different for us....we always have to be vigilant to ask for his guidance and will in all decisions but especially the major ones. Take care and look forward to yoyr next video!😊

[@ScreechingWife]

My husband and I just discovered your channel a couple of days ago and enjoy the info you share! We are actually a retired couple in search of a homestead property . We have searched AL, GA, MS, TN and have run into quite a few of the same situations you did with that property that you mentioned was online for a mere couple of hours. It has been our thoughts that a contract was already in the works prior to having been posted online. We believe some of these realtors use some great properties as bait to get more calls in. We have even had a realtor tell us, “We’ve had 16 showings the first day.” Now, that would mean a showing each hour of the day! Hahahaha! Really? Thanks for sharing your stories! Love them! ❤ God Bless!!

Unfortunately not just competing for property with one another but foreign companies are in the market buying up the land too.. when we were buying our land/ homestead a couple years ago .. the place almost went to a Chinese based company.. they Eve offered the sellers twice the amount of listing price.. but the LoRd laid on my heart to give our best offer within reason for our own budget and even the sellers agent said put in your best offer.. so we prayed i it and did.. To our blessed surprise they accepted our offer .. We later learned that the sellers used to go to school with my husband so it was a for sure blessing from the LoRd.. So excited for you guys on this ew journey for ya both… ❤ the Channel

[@lauriedrake]

The story of finding your homestead sounds just like what we did 5 yrs. ago in our move from WA to ID. I'd been wanting to move out of the city for a decade, and when my husband finally agreed I also signed onto the internet listings. I fell in love with one place that was listed on a Saturday, and by the time I could get bank approval on Monday morning the house had been snatched up. There was a backup plan though, and we made the overnight trek to see the second house on Tuesday morning. The house wasn't perfect, but no place is, but it spoke to us saying "I'm for you". The owners were on vacation, we put our offer in, and they accepted by phone the next morning. Within a few months the real estate market here exploded with nothing available to buy or build for 3 yrs, we made the move at the perfect time. God works in mysterious ways!!

[@millcreekx]

[@glennagoss7335]

Welcome to Arkansas.

[@krislange1186]

We lived in SE Wisconsin for 19 yrs. We had friends in SW in Missouri who had moved down to MO from Illinois. We would visit them every year for vacation down in Missouri and I always said "if we ever move, here is where I want to live." One day my husband said, "Go down to Missouri and find us a place." So I grabbed a daughter and her friend and down to MO we went. After looking at a few places, we were shown an 80 acre farm in an area that I had always thought was "heaven on earth". Hubby & I came down, talked to the bank, signed papers and we moved down here in Oct. 1988 and have never regretted the move. We are just about directly north of your new place in Barry County, Missouri in the NE corner of the county. I can hardly wait for your "big move".

[@evabermon9670]

🙏🌷💕🌷🙏 This is another wonderful video. Thank you. Oh, how I would love to talk to you. As I've told you, I'm hoping to sell my little 6.7 acre farm on top of Rackley Mountain near Chester, Arkansas which is probably only about 50-60 miles, through the woods, to your new property. My neighbor has said he wants my farm and house but I "don't want to count my chickens till they hatch", as Mama used to say. I have been feeling scared and losing hope lately...may just be this dreary Winter weather we're having, after having had 4 beautiful very mild Winters and early Springs. I don't understand why I have felt down and sort of hopeless, even though I have found land the man says he will sell over on Revis Hill Road in the Turner Community towards where ya'll will live. You have helped me, in this video, so much when you said people are flocking places like Arkansas. That sounds like I should have others to fall back on if my neighbor backs out. He even says that he has 3 friends who want this farm, so what is wrong with me? 🤔🙃😊 I know it's too personal to ask you, on here, why you're leaving Alabama for Arkansas...unless it's one of the the reasons we came to Arkansas from Houston, Mississippi in 1982...to get away from "people crowding". Also, Walmart and Foodway came to my husband's little hometown of Houston where his family had been in the grocery business since WWII ended. We owned his dad's newest supermarket, which was doing great, but Foodway began killing us. Fortunately we were able to sell out before the axe fell. Twenty six businesses there closed after we sold out and moved to Mtn. View, Arkansas. I had also begun carving realistic decoys, and eventually carved about everything, but ended my 22 year woodcarving career a couple of years after winning a Best of Show in the World Championship, placing me among the top 10 wildfowl carvers in the world. I had needed Arkansas for inspiration and fellowship with other carvers, craftsmen and artists. I still free-lanced as an Architectural Interior Designer all these years too. Anyway, I've gotten off the subject of selling and buying property. I just want to thank you for sounding so encouraging and sharing your experience. It makes me want to shake off the doldrums and get going toward my selling and buying. God bless ya'll.

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

Thank you my friend. Yes, I think you may not have too much of an issue selling in that area. Being relatively close to Fort Smith is a big selling point for folks that want out of the city but not too far. I'm not sure where the Turner community is though. Still learning the Arkansas geography. I bet your carvings are beautiful! Winter is a tough time for many, especially when it has been raining as much as it has been. Those few warm days were a bit of a teaser. But I will say a prayer for you. ❤

[@IamKyuTee]

You can make a not so spicy kimchi. Omit the red pepper flakes. You can just omit or replace it with add teaspoon of extra fresh ginger root. You might be able to then eat kimchi which this version is often eaten by children under school age, elderly or those who cannot eat hot peppers. If you do not use ginger root in your kimchi you may want to try adding 1 teaspoon in your next fermentation of it.

[@GimiH1]

Welcome to The Land of Opportunity! We live near Ft Smith so we're practically neighbors. If you need help or just want to visit over a cup of coffee please feel free to call on us. We're working on an offgrid cabin with rain water and solar. We stay busy with chickens, rabbits, quail, a bull, cow and heifer and 2 lgd. We preserve our gardens and orchards by canning, freezing, using a freeze dryer, dehydrator or any other method we can come up with. There's a good stock of jars and buckets with mylar bags for the just in case days. We plan to have a huge backstock for our days we can't work as hard. We can age in place a little longer. I just saw your comments on Big Family Homestead and couldn't agree more! We returned to Arkansas in 2001 after transferring back and forth across the country. It's truly hard work to pack up a homestead and move long distances. 1 was from North Carolina to San Francisco. My husband caught a flight out and never came back. I packed everything there, stopped by Mississippi and sold the house there and drove a uhaul with a car hauler to California. He still hears about it when he makes a comment about hating to move! We recently sold a few acres near Cullman, Alabama. We had searched long and hard because we needed a place near Birmingham to be near our son. He agreed to take a transfer if we agreed to move with them. Like you, things were selling before they made the listing. The transfer fell apart and we just kept the land until God brought us a young family needing it. It was really hard to let it go but they wanted a few flat acres large enough to locate her aging parents on the property.

I have a friend who moved from the Dallas area of Texas to Mountain Home AR last year. They were living in a neighborhood with terrible neighbors and she hated her job. Her husband retired from the local large police force in the midst of all the defund the police nonsense and took another job with a small police force and he had a commitment to stay there for a bit.. Around this time they found the AR property. which is about 30 acres but very hilly as I understand it. It is basically a one room cabin with a bathroom. An ex-wife got it in a divorce settlement, but she put it on the market as soon as the ink was dry on the divorce papers. While my friends husband was finishing up his police force commitment she started looking at the local employment situation and quickly found a job at a Mountain Home manufacturer so she moved first. Back and forth from TX to AR almost weekly until the Texas house was sold and her husband was free of his obligation. They are in their 50's so her reason for working is to keep active insurance. She loves where she works and it's for a great company. Her husband keeps busy with projects around the property and they have quickly made friends. They are loving their AR 'retirement' life. They spent the Fall converting an old shed workshop into a guest cottage for when family comes to visit. I watch a number of KZbin channels who have moved to AR from elsewhere. I looked on my atlas map and it looks like you are not far from Bobblehead Homestead.

Well, screw tube deleted my comment. Great! I know it wasn't you, Constance.

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

I don't see another comment from you.

@@CosmopolitanCornbread Well, it was there. I was trying to tell you that if you wanted to when you get ready to sell your Alabama homestead that maybe you could post it on freesteading before you put it in MLS. There are so many homesteaders and like minded people there that are looking for homestead property. Maybe since I reworded it and it's under your comment they won't delete it. I know it's not you. You tube does it to me a lot. They don't like me. LOL

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

That is very strange!

Yes sister in Christ, prayers are most important, when making any key decision.... Your prayer asking God to act by stoping the sale, if not in his will to buy....so matters. In 1997 making the offer on a cabin high in the mountains, was unlikely being lakefront. God will make things happen against the odds... amen. Now I'm prepared for others as thing's unfold in America. Pray all watching ask our God almighty... am I where you want me to be ??? thanks.
