“If He led you to it, he’ll lead you through it” … this phrase has gotten my husband and I through some of the most trying times in our lives. It was our daily prayer when he was unexpectedly stuck in the hospital for a month in another state in 2018. It has really been an inspirational phrase in our lives since then!

I love it! There are preachers that can’t bring a message as encouraging and convicting as you have just posted. God has truly brought you to such a time as this and I am so thankful you and Ben have answered the call. I pray that God will continue to bless you in days ahead. I want to come meet y’all in person soon.

I am so glad you have a lot of hay. I remember praying for grass and for rain when you were in a drought. You have gone through a tough season. You deserve to be happy. I am so glad you didn't throw in the towel. I know it was rough. Life on a farm is rewarding and challenging. You can't have one without the other. Thanks for encouraging others. I am happy for you. I love you too.

This message has affirmed the things I have been turning over in my mind for the last year (2024) The Lord has truly used you and this message to bless me. I know I can jump once again. I got where I am by jumping and I met my Boaz and we have been journeying for 12 years and raising our children, We are almost empty nesters, and have decisions to make similar to the ones you spoke about, but I thank Jesus for this message 🙏🏾 ❤️ I can jump again!

Amen! What a blessing you are to me. I am 77 so I am content to do little of nothing. My husband died in 2016 and I looked after him and worked for 5 years before he died. He died peacefully in his sleep. That is the way to go. But I am left without a helpmate. Enjoy your time together as empty nesters and remember those wonderful memories of getting married and watching little ones grow up. What a blessing! God is good, all the time. God Bless! 😊

You and Ben are such a blessing. If I didn't live states away I would visit. God has plans for you and will be getting better and better. I have been praying for land with a home to get out of this city. Promised God I would never go into debt ever again so if you don't mind ,please say a prayer that this is God's plan for us. God's blessing to you and yours

I wish I could convey to you how many times you have inspired me and confirmed what God is saying to me when I feel unsure. I am 68 and a full-time caregiver for my elderly, disabled mother living on her farm. I have chickens and a large garden that help keep me sane. It would be easy to give that part up, shut the door and hide in the house when I get tired and discouraged. Recently I was gifted a 32x97' greenhouse that is already constructed on the farm. I know it is part of God's plan to keep me going. I've been feeling like I am to start a plant business, selling plant starts next spring and felt confirmation after spending time with you today. Thank you, Andrea, for obeying the Lord and speaking your heart.

You are an inspiration. I spent my whole life centered on my kids and my job. Now that my husband and I are retired, we are getting so excited about getting started in this. I just wish we had started when we were young. We have started with rabbits and chickens- now looking at goats. I’m like you- I really think the Lord is calling more and more Christian’s to become more self- sustaining (actually God sustaining)! Thank you for your encouraging videos!
@kateklein79454 ай бұрын
That was so encouraging. I grew up on a farm and have since lived on one with our family for a time and loved it. I don't know if it willbe in our future but it is still a dream of mine and yiur videos explaining the difference between organic farming and local farmers as well as the video about farming as a community where each supplies different needs instead of being self sufficient alone.May the Lord bless your work on the farm, your market and your family. Maybe someday the Lord will lead us to serve him with a farm. That would bring me joy. God is good

I'm so glad I found your channel. What a blessing you are to all of us. I'm alone on the farm since my husband of fifty years passed away October 2020. I'll be 75 if I make it until November. I have developed the farm since I've been alone from just chickens to include 22 head of goats and several Kune Kune pigs... and way more chickens than I need. Oh...I almost forgot the rabbits. Lol. I process and pressure can all my animals myself. I bulk buy wheat berries and corn from Azure Standard for my flour and meal. I almost never go to a grocery store. Just about the only time I leave the farm is to get feed for the critters...or if my daughter or granddaughter needs me for something. The odd thing is I never get lonely. I guess I just don't have time for that. It's a good life and I feel that I've been called to it the same as you. My girls don't listen to me about putting away for what I think is inevitably coming. But they know where to come if they ever get hungry! Thank you for your channel and for not giving up. JUMP!!!

I appreciate you not giving up, Andrea. I'm in such a similar phase of life. We just started this Family Farm (3 years in), and I'm already stressing over being able to do it alone as my younglings have gotten older. It's scary, but I feel the same way...God has called me to this. Even if the kids don't want to continue with me... I'm not alone, so I will get help some way. At this point, we are ALL still working on it together, so I gotta just stay focused and not let the fear of the unknown keep me from putting one foot in front of the other. You have always been an encouragement to me, and I thank you once again for being real! While I started my KZbin channel because of you, I did have to step back, as starting a business has been all-encompassing. I don't know how you do it! I'm using Instagram and fb mostly for now, but I hope to do a year in review video on KZbin soon. Life is so short, so just being present and pushing oneself to grow is so important. I'm so happy for your expanded family! Even though the change, while beautiful, will still take some getting used to, THANK you for sharing. It preps those of us who are very close to being empty nesters with tools to get through it! You continue to amaze me, and I appreciate our friendship all these years ;) You've pushed me to be a better version of myself. Enjoy the rekindling of "you and Ben" and discovering the new version of you that's in the baby phases of emerging! Lots of love lady!! I thank you for sharing your life so openly! Christina

Amen Sister! Just came to your channel and completely agree with your message. I was thinking , won’t it be great to one day teach your grandkids the values you have and also imagine them running the market and learning about all that’s required to deliver the quality products to the community. Good stuff. I just pulled up your website and wanted to check pricing and availability of meat products. I’d be interested in supporting your business, I am in Arkansas in the Ash Flat area wasn’t able to see pricing, do I need to first create an account? Thanks in advance, appreciate y’all and God bless!
