Coming Face-to-Face With Our Fears at the Homestead Festival

[@marybethsmarvellouslife4490]

Came for the school bus renovation, stayed to find out where Mr Brown’s shoes were 💜 Thank you for sharing your journey, Rhodes Family! 💜

[@rlportillo]

Ha! Same here!

[@ruthannsprenkle9526]

well said, here for the journey wherever it takes you.

Love this comment 😂❤️

[@boohoo5750]

Me too! So miss the vlogs daily! I do understand everything changes! I support you in it all things and I can miss you. When ever you post! Much gratitude and appreciation to each and one of your family members! I don’t even know if you still have aunt Flossie You would stand with her in the background, and she stood there and tilted her head Like she understood everything you said while you were talking about something on the farm. Thank you so much for so many fond memories. 👍👍❤️

Lol. Those shoes! Lol

[@lindanicholas1705]

Darlings, I'm an Aussie, 🇦🇺 🪃 elder lady. I am almost bed bound and I spend my time watching UTube. I have been watching your family grow and your trials and happy times. Your way of living is the best any person could achieve. You are a very talented man. Take my hat off to you all. Keep teaching and learning darlings.......

[@ourfreedomsong]

ME , FEATURED in YOUR video?!? How amazing is that?!!! You are such a great story teller.... From the moment I hit play, I've been completely locked on every word! I appreciate meeting your whole family! And I love that you seemed "real" not overly excited or excitable but just like a friend. I'm so glad that you and Rebecca decided that it was all worth you leaving the farm to come to the festival. You being there added so much value! It was absolutely the most amazing experience for me!

[@oakandbarrelfarm9391]

I really like how Justin interacts with his wife and kids. A real man.

[@nancyschwartz5665]

It was really lovely to get this perspective of life with the Rhodes. Beautifully filmed Dan. Clearly the family is comfortable with you. Justin & Rebecca be nice to yourselves. Continue to just be yourselves. Thank you for continuing to share your lives with us. For such a time as this.

[@carri-barefoot-anderson]

Man, I cried almost the entire video. Such a dream and a true inspiration you, your wife, and your children are. Me and my 4 kids love your channel. Thank you for all you do.

[@kfowler193]

HS'er mom here from 20 yrs ago. My thought on "socialization" has ALWAYS been...Why would I want them to be socialied like the world? I wanted my children to be able to relate to all types of people, Young, old, disabled, able etc. It was THE best time of our lives. I love watching your show and LOVE your family. I would be your mom in the background taking care of the children while you're doing your thing.

[@theallenshire268]

My son got "socialized" by the public school system and nearly ended up in a gang. I am so thankful for the Civil Air Patrol and the lessons he learned there. If I had another child they would never set foot in a school.

[@promisedjubileedaniels]

Absolutely!

[@woods-haven-half-acre]

I’ve been homeschooling for 13 years so far. No Regrets!!!

[@bettybooboo22]

@@theallenshire268 My kids got "socialized" by the public school system and ended up great human beings with great friends that they still are close with 8 years later. Just like there are some terrible homeschoolers, there are terrible public schools, but that doesn't mean public schools are bad for all kids.

[@cordelia7313]

So I have always felt like socialization was what we do with our dogs and found it so amusing that when talking about it on the video showed the pup!!! 😁

[@ROCKPILEOffgridHomestead]

“Beyond success into significance” ❤️ It’s what makes us homesteaders different. The drive towards making an impact, making things better, and a drive towards doing All that for and connecting with the wider community 🙏

[@sarahgibson-reb1891]

My mom first showed me your channel and I watched regularly because you used to share more family, chores and daily life. Now, I’m just tired of all the self promotion so now I watch from time to time. I hope you go back to sharing the daily homestead life.

[@RealTanyaJean]

The way that you two look at each other is doing more than you know for people watching.

[@carri-barefoot-anderson]

Yes. As someone who just left an abusive marriage, this is the life I dream of for me and my 4 children. A man who truly loves his wife and children is so heart-swelling to see.

[@djot1745]

I love the sweet quiet and simple moments you catch on film of your beautiful children. The confidence they have either in what they are doing or with the support they get. I love how comfortable you all are together. Yes, I came for the content but I stay for the family. May God continue to bless all of you. Thank you for sharing.

[@barbaramix1683]

Because of you my husband and I have decided to try homesteading. I have learned so much from your family. I want to thank you for being transparent and real. I know sometimes it is difficult for you to do what you do. You have inspired us.

[@kathyritscher9459]

‘Come for the chickens and stay for the family.’ Good quote. I found you for the homestead info. But the down to earth family relations and working together is the reason I fell in Love with your show. You become my family also. Your family, Jess’s family, Ben’s family, Jason’s family. There is a connection though we have never met I feel apart of the stories. Blessings.

[@ruthwalker4677]

Thank you Justin and Rebecca. I treasure your words, your actions and your hearts. You make a difference! xxx

[@kimmieguidry]

I am so happy to have stumbled across you on KZbin several years ago and then many other homesteaders since. I finally, this last year am a member on A+, raising 10 hens, 1 rooster and just recently hatched & raising 16?chicks. I have started my small garden this summer and hope to double the size of it for fall. Validation has always been very rewarding for me so I just wanted to say Thank You publicly in that what you are still doing today is opening the eyes of this 56 yr old single lady… we are never too old to learn ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💪

[@elizabethlink3993]

💚 So grateful for your talks at the Homestead Festival and getting to meet you in person and have you sign your book for me! Loved seeing the whole family in real time. Such a great, inspiring time. Thanks to Rory Feek. 💚

[@thegoodfight426]

When something exceeds your imagination, that says a lot!!! Yes, I come to the Rhodes' channel to see how my friends are doing, even if they don't know me, we all feel like we know them. We know their strengths and we know their weaknesses, and we love them just the same. I pray that Justin let's go of the burden of trying to always be that "on stage" presence and just knows that most of his loyal followers would never expect that of him. 🤗🤗🤗

[@joanreid2804]

What incredible parents you have, always there to help and support! I love all you share! Thank you.

[@GossMania]

The event was amazing, we had to prepare our animals and our property for sure to be able to leave for a few days. "The event all ended with one big family". Made many friends that will remain in our hearts like our family. When we got home our garden for sure has a big change. Your booth was so busy we didn't get to stop by. maybe next time. Hope y'all had a blessed time I did tell Rebecca hi from a distance. Many blessings from our homestead to yours.

[@gwencrawford9617]

Justin, it was so refreshing to see / hear this side of you; The Vulnerable Side. I just hit the subscribe button after watching your channel for over 6 months. Bless y’all!

[@theJustinRhodesShow]

Thanks so much. Welcome to the family :)

[@bigdog0149]

Wow!! That was amazing. You, y'all, just keep being you. I think, in my opinion, (that and $2 get you a large coffee) when someone one says "that you are the same in real life as you are on stage", that that is one of the highest compliments that you can get these days. I believe that people don't just dish it out lightly. It's an earned level. I too love your projects, watching our family grow, your stewardship of the land and animals, your willingness to show and teach that this isn't rocket science. It's improvements and tweaking, it's work smarter not harder. It's learning about yourself and your family. Also, I love to watch how your kids are growing into themselves. How they take on the tasks at hand. How their interests grow. Woodworking, welding, working the livestock. Figuring out how to make things better and easier while still having fun. I spent a number of summers as a young boy (late 60's early 70's) on a farm that was just east of y'all. Unfortunately, now it's a subdivision like everything else. I learned so much from the caretaker, he was an amazing man and it was an amazing place. I could keep going but I have tears in my eyes. I guess what it comes down to is thank you for letting us into your lives. Thank you for teaching us. Thank you for so many things. But most of all, Thank you for you being you, and y'all being y'all!! There are so many great things to come with the collaborations that are in place. Rock on Justin Rhodes Family and Friends. Rock on!! Justin Rhodes for President!! We've only just begun!!

[@hardwareshomestead8959]

I could not have said any better. We are all blessed by your family and everything you do for this community

[@justgoodness333littlehomes5]

REBECCA you changed my life when you said you asked yourself " what would I do if I wasn't afraid" You have sowed so many precious seeds in my heart over the years just by speaking from your heart and your life. Thank you for being genuine.

[@promisedjubileedaniels]

I loved Rory's commentary on what this meant to him ❤️ thanks for sharing.

[@janetwithers7427]

Wow, what an amazing gathering. Both you and Rebekah did wonderful. The kids really enjoyed it all too. So much learned, absorbed and shared. Great events like this are important for the collective soul of homesteading. 💞

[@jeanlee1911]

Im an oldschool homeschooler mom most of the home school journey as a single mom. all my kiddlettes are 36yrb, 30yrb(autistic will always be home and is a great gift from God, 28yrb and 23yrg) the 36 yr old graduated college with honors in Computer sciences from Missouri University, my 30 yr old is still working on the important things but he is getting there, 28 yr old is a youth minister in training and pursuing a degree in electrical front of house music editing for Churches, my daughter just finished today and received her an AA in graphic design and a BA in Design and minor in Communications. Homeschooling allowed them to explore what they needed to become the people that God created them to be and learn much more than a classroom would have. They are more social than I am and can hold their own in any group. Watching you and your children inter act with others and encourage others makes my heart happy and encourages my son and I to try to get some land and start a tiny homestead, I think it would be good for him and my self. Thank You Justin and sweetly Blessed Family

[@Wildevis]

An absolutely lovely video, mirroring all our own fears and triumphs, but pressing on on this journey together. I only started watching Homesteading vlogs a couple years back and then you were all sort of doing your own thing, but these last few years the coming together of the Homestead tribe has been awesome and inspiring to watch

[@kimt5694]

I’m grateful to have found your channel on YT. Thank you Rhodes family for opening your lives, it’s helped many looking to achieve similar goals. I’m growing my urban oasis to maybe one day move into a bigger piece of property with more homesteading possibilities. In a world full of fake-ness your channel and family is refreshingly real. God bless.

[@theallenshire268]

I am one of those who came for the chickens. Specifically from a google search for chicken coop designs and found your chickshaw. But yes I stayed for the family. The reason I still go back and binge the 100 days of growing food playlists is for the family interactions. You could just as easily rebrand your channel as a parenting channel.

[@daviddavid9837]

You both have a talent for speaking in front of a group. You smile, you say words that form sentences that communicate and explain and tell stories, you don't stutter and stammer, and you keep smiling, and you keep talking, and you stop when you're done. And you both keep getting better and more comfortable. And people come and come back. So, good for you.

[@kathleenschaefer7012]

I love the slice of life both family and homesteading. I particularly noticed the videos when you were time and schedule concious. Thats been one of my challenges. It helps so much to normalize and educate and I suppose socialize living a homesteading life. The valueing and commitment and harvest/ reaping and receiving the blessings. And awareness of being blessed and sharing, etc. It's good to see it is real, it is "being"!

[@BlacksTropicalHomestead]

This is amazing SoilBrotha! We started our KZbin channel 8 months ago to share our adventures in homesteading and encourage às many people to grow your own food, raise your own animal if possible. The more the better but something is better than nothing. It's so beneficial in so many ways. Blessings over blessings! We are tropical fruit growers living in a sub tropical climates we also raise our own meat on a small property. It's amazing! We pray to meet y'all in October at HOA... You and your family are truly a blessing to this fabulous community. We appreciate you SoilBrotha and SoilSista ❣️

I came for the knowledge and encouragement, but I stayed and keep coming back for the family and inspiration....even the tears because we all need to cry sometimes. Thank you Justin and Rhodes Family

[@ashleylovepace1941]

It helps that all the kids are so super cute! Justin, thanks for sharing and giving. Thanks Rebekah!

[@charlottewillis9252]

Thank you so much for all the wonderful things you and Rebekah shared. You guys showed how you are like everybody else in your fears and things you love. I have been watching the Rhodes since before the Great American Farm Tour and feel like I know you each of you. I really liked what you said about how many people like seeing the family, I am one of them even though I am not a homesteaders like you and others but grow a huge garden every year and can much, ferment and dry all my herbs and many other things. I feel I am a homesteaders. I do enjoy watching the projects you and the boys and Lily too make. Thanks again.

[@fiendeng]

Watching Justin do it, try it , fail bleed and cry is a big reason why I'm doing it now !

What I like about the show is the information, family journey, and the authenticity of your character.

[@jeshurunfarm]

Thank you Justine. Respect from Africa 🇿🇦

[@InTuGuru]

I hope you guys keep doing this for years and years to come. I know I’m not the only one who appreciates all of the knowledge that you share. You have inspired a lot of people to change their lives, including myself. You guys among others are the reason why I got into sustainable living. I caught y’all in the middle of your great American Farm Tour Vlogs, and though I have been in and out over the years, I still appreciate all that you guys do. Thank y’all!

[@The-Ancestral-Cucina]

Honestly…wow! You never seize to amaze my hubby and I. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability…both of you. If I had life to do all over again…I would want to be a Rhodes. You guys, your whole family, you all inspire me to live my ‘real’ life, a wholesome life. A life of clear commitment to my values. Thank you. Thank you! Btw, if I could cross the border (will not get the jab due to Lyme) I would’ve come to this Festival to see, hear, and meet you both. Not Mr. Costner (no offence meant towards him). You are the folks that have added the most value to my life and to the new homesteading journey I have taken on.

[@katechiconi]

Justin, you and all the Rhodes family have made a difference to my life. I just wanted you to know that. And you know, even if you ARE tired, that's OK. You do a lot. I don't think any of us would take that personally or feel offended because you weren't totally on fire 24/7. I just wish I could come to some of these great events, but I'm half the world away and because of my chronic back issues I can no longer fly long distances, even if we could afford it! So please keep on making the videos, because it's the only way I'll ever get to see some of these things. And you should take full credit for the change you yourself create. You've taken me from saying "we should...." to saying "we will" or even "we have". You did that. So thank you.

[@sharongreen2163]

Everyone is a teacher…..everyone. We all have valuable information to share. Most teaching occurs informally, without a classroom or books. Keep teaching us, Rhodes….we are learning.

[@octaviacrawford2392]

Blessings to you and your family! You all are the reason I started raising chickens and wasn't afraid to just be different. Your videos are wonderful teaching tools but being able to meet everyone helps us not feel alone in this community. I appreciate all that you all do. Thanks for sharing your lives with us.

[@carolesettle3926]

[@kriswhite1344]

Thanks for the REALNESS.. Being human, talking about what fails and the re-dos, rethinks...showing other its possible... mostly calming the fears. When life's too stressful, turning on a video..watching the chickens being fed or planting Rebecca's 1000 tomatoes being planted.. Takes away the stress... "It's OKAY.. stick with the basics, you can do this" ( what ever "this" might be) Sincerely Thank you!🙏🏽😊

[@lorieflanders]

Loved this video. I am riveted by your honesty and willingness to share of yourself and to be so vulnerable. I watch almost every video you post. So much in this world is superficial and fake. Your family is a breath of fresh air. Something real and true. Thank you.

[@serenityhillhomestead7304]

We are 4 yrs into chickens, 2 yrs duck, one yr goats, second yr growing gardens with major expansion, third year on building homestead. We both work full time outside of home and honestly exhausted. Your channel, among others, brings encouragement to our dreams, renewing our dedication to the lifestyle we have willingly chosen. Bless you and your beautiful family ♥️

[@angelamarie4137]

I always like your view on homesteading and your definition of it. I live in a small city and can't legally have chickens or cows, but I have a 12 x 12 foot garden plot in the yard and strawberries growing in hanging baskets on my porch. Homesteading is a state of mind, and I think you've proven that. It's about taking small steps to change our lifestyle. Watching this video, you also realize it's also about community. We get our honey from a neighbor down the street (they just passed a city ordinance that allowed beekeeping in 2019), buy goat milk soap (amazing for dry skin) from a farmer seven miles from our home , and get all our organic meat and eggs sourced from local farmers. We started homeschooling in 2019 as well with four teenagers. We were worried that our children would miss school extracurriculars and being in school, but they've absolutely thrived. Our district allows them to stay in marching band, so they do go to school for one class.

[@patriciarobinson5033]

Please know that you are an amazing, selfless, inspirational family! I love your videos even though I am a backyard gardener who no longer owns livestock of any kind. I read a book many years ago entitled, "What Other People Think Of Me Is None Of My Business". :) You give so others can be blessed, by your experiences, not for the accolades,. If it is in your heart to do so, keep on giving and sharing your journey as those who want to learn will hear you and be inspired to continue on their journey. God will richly bless you for the grace you extend to others!

[@Mountainviewfarm2022]

You have been my inspiration since day one to do this lifestyle in fact you was the first person I found nearly 4 years in and we are still doing it so thank you 😊

[@cherisabell5481]

You guys are absolutely inspiring and I am so greatful that even when you don’t feel like making a vlog that you do and talk about that struggle because it’s real life and we are all so greatful you share your real life because it helps inspire us to endure and overcome and learn and grow ourselves and our homesteads however big or small! You are so appreciated!

[@fionagarrett2730]

Awesome video, loved every minute of it. Wish I lived close by. One day I will see you down under, the homestead movement will grow so big, it will expand into the big wide world and you and the boys will be a big part of that.

[@vickycushman8482]

[@brandiyoung4726]

I found your channel by a friend getting ducks for my daughter and wanting to provide them with great care. I stayed because having a family homestead was my dream. We homeschool our youngest child & she loves agriculture . So we built around it. We started with ducks & quickly added chickens….then turkeys…..then a kitchen garden …then myotonic goats for weeds. This year we have our first full garden . We have preserved vegetables, fruit and meat. We came for the ducks, but we stay for the family projects. We do everything as a family too. Thanks Justin & Rebecca !!!

[@vannesareay9435]

Really enjoyed this. I haven't missed a vlog for several years. I watch because you show your hearts. All my life l have lived that life. Growing own food. Didn't home school but have always admired anyone doing it well. Now l have similar health issues but to the extent that l haven't planted a seed for two years. You have shared so openly that it has given me courage and insight. And its uplifting to see a young family carrying the torch so to say. Also, every vlog l think that little Henery looks so much like your Dad. Take special care and God bless.

I would've loved to seen yall at the event, but I'm all the way in eastern Washington state. And as we were needing a name, and we are on Sheep Creek, in addition to a 100 Cornish cross coming in 2 weeks, we DID come up with a name... Wheeyup Sheep Creek Farm!!!

i like watching your family and your farm because it is like watching a miracle

I came for the chickens, stayed for the grass. I am fascinated with your pastures and I love hearing your tips in getting pigs to grow your grass or using chickens to till a garden. I got the chickens and soon maybe pigs. I’ve learned so much about how animals can live their best lives doing work I don’t want to do.

Thank you, Ashley!

That was so beautiful and honest. I couldn't attend because I was just returning from Yellowstone. Keep storytelling visually... all of you. I came home to a wildly abundant garden jungle thanks to learning from Jess initially and so many others now. You ARE making a difference.

Great sharing in this video. I enjoy seeing the family plus learning about the farm.
