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.

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 😅

[@BetterTogetherLife]

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!

[@Michelle-mr8ip]

[@jessicapabon2105]

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 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.

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!

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.

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.

So lovely to see such a wonderful strong group of my favorite KZbin women come together... Like you I often look at other homesteads that are green and lush, then ours in it's dessert drought, but we have our majestic mountains and awesome olive trees... we each have a special corner of the earth that we are all going to leave better than we found it x

[@BetterTogetherLife]

Wow, thank you! I totally agree!!! Love love love this!!!!! You're amazing!

[@impossiblemel7]

Such a beautiful video. I’ve been watching since you were urban homesteading. It’s really fun to watch my favorite KZbinrs get together and celebrate life.

[@BetterTogetherLife]

I love that you’re here!

[@telyeash4155]

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

[@BetterTogetherLife]

We are so grateful! And YOU are so encouraging. How wonderful!

[@gelwood99]

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

[@BetterTogetherLife]

Yay!!!!!! Yes you are back wahoo!!!!! Yea, I don’t know why KZbin does that sometimes. It’s super weird. Thank you so much for always joining us!! 😁😁😁

[@tinatippin5705]

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 KZbin. 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.

[@BetterTogetherLife]

Sister friends. That’s so accurate and lovely! Thank you for encouraging our hearts!

[@journeywithnichole]

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!! ❤

[@BetterTogetherLife]

Nicole, THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!! You’re amazing!!! Yup, all of those ladies are amazing!!! Thank you!!

[@francesbolen257]

It's always nice to get away, but there's nothing like the feeling of landing back home in South Texas!

[@BetterTogetherLife]

I feel this!

[@sybillesanderson4494]

So awesome to see all of you having fun together!

[@BetterTogetherLife]

Thank you so much Sybille!!! 😁😁😁

[@dorenemadrzykowski8426]

What a beautiful homestead.

[@southloupriverhomestead4696]

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!

[@BetterTogetherLife]

They’re all so great! Thanks for being here!

[@6996katmom]

I watch all of y'all all the time. I am from Texas City, of course you know where that is and I used to live in Gladewater. How I miss the country life so much. Never had a hubby that wanted a farm life. So, I do have a few rabbits for poop, and chickens for eggs, and a lot of cats. I garden in molasses tubs and make my home as country as I can. Love you and Bo and the kids.

[@BetterTogetherLife]

I WISH I had found molasses tubs sooner. They’re fantastic! Thanks for being here and chatting!

[@soymilkmuse]

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 😂🎉❤

[@blondebomber9406]

North Texas here👋 I follow these channels as well! Glad y’all got to catch up!

[@my3bsfarm863]

Came to you from R&R. Loved this vlog! I am a Homesteader and kindergarten teacher from MA, next to Cape Cod. It was wonderful seeing women connect and relax? Thank you for sharing.

[@BetterTogetherLife]

Thank you sooooooo much!!! Yup, TONS of relaxing!! It was the best!!

[@raybo34]

[@BetterTogetherLife]

Awesome! I’m so glad. Thank you for being here!

[@raybo34]

@@BetterTogetherLife that would be awesome

[@crazylifehomestead]

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!

[@BetterTogetherLife]

Love that!!! Huge congrats!!!!! I just subscribed to your channel! 😁👍🏻

[@crazylifehomestead]

@@BetterTogetherLife Thank you, I can't wait to see more! Binge watching like I did with the Hollar homestead

[@BetterTogetherLife]

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!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@joolzmac1]

[@mlee7037]

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!❤

[@BetterTogetherLife]

So glad you’re here! You’re right… once a Texan, always a Texan!

[@katehopkinsbrent5573]

AWESOME video. I would LOVE to hang out with all you girls. I watch y’all, Jessica at 3 rivers homestead and Chelsea Little Mountain ranch too. My absolute FAVORITES I’m way over on the east coast- Sackville New Brunswick Canada - ever hear of Mount Allison University? It’s in my town. I lost everything in a house fire two years ago - I’m here though, in a camper as I have gardens to do, yard maintenance and hens… and GOATS and my side kick Sorcha Claire, shes my husky ♥️🐾 Only thing I don’t and won’t do is pressure canning. Seen one BLOW at 10 years old and noooo thank you. Only water bath canning, drying and freezing 👍. We’re all waiting for Meg and Ben to announce the new baby ♥️😊🤗🤗🤗 SO excited. I’ve subbed to ya - you’re just a little ray of sunshine 😊

[@shellyek6237]

You all are so beautiful! Thank you for sharing... truly sweet...

[@BetterTogetherLife]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it.

[@rachelr9272]

Hi. I saw your video thumbnail on my feed. I follow Roots & Refuge and The Hollars. I really enjoyed your video and subscribed. We live on a 1/4 acre lot in a small city in Michigan. I’ve been container gardening for several years. My husband and I raised our two girls in 1000 square feet. We love our little home and love eating our fresh veggies from our gardens. I’m looking forward to watching your videos☺️

[@BetterTogetherLife]

Rachel this is AMAZING to hear!!! Thank you for joining us and for sharing your story. Would love to hear even more! Yes I remember those days back in our 1/8 acre lot in suburbia. When simple meal made out of our homegrown tomatoes or zucchini’s or cucumbers would fill our souls! Perhaps even more than the thrill we get today with everything we are trying to do. Those simple days are the best!!!!! Because you can focus on the soil and the plants! Love it!

[@aprilgarrahan3245]

Lover of the land I love that song!!!!

[@BetterTogetherLife]

Yay!!!!!
