Watching this in 2024 and seeing Jill roll her eyes about making a KZbin channel has me laughing so hard!

[@divineflygirl]

“I have to help my mom get the goats out the woods.” That was just the sweetest! Why am I tearing up! 😂😆 He’s so sweet!

[@joyborazjani2355]

Coffee. :D So cute.

[@faithfamilyhomestead]

It's so funny to watch this video when Jill didn't have a YT channel yet hahaha now she's passed 20,000 how awesome

[@rosedowning6466]

Aww, my heart melted when Ben took over Vlogging.

[@NinaM93]

Baby Ben!!! 🥹❤️ you and Miah are raising fine young men, Jess. This is so sweet. Cracked me up when Ben says “no, I want coffee” lol. Also, funny watching Jill roll her eyes. She’s done really well with your old property and with her KZbin. It’s also so neat seeing how excited you were on this smaller space evolving and seeing where you are now. So happy for you and your family. Loved this blast from the past. ❤

[@amier7628]

Ben is just precious! He is a natural! Lol

[@bootmender]

Your little boy is so cute. I don’t want chocolate milk, I want coffee! 👍😊👏👍😊

[@lindawitherspoon446]

Ben is the cutest little munchkin. Just adorable. Precious child.

[@hammondoftxhomestead7969]

Awww!! Ben's all grown up vlogging and drinking coffee!! He's too cute. I love his heart of service, always helping you out around the homestead. He's so precioius.

[@candykuettel4586]

Look out Mom....Ben is a rising star😁 he is adorable! Cute pigs too! I’ve never heard of curly haired pigs😎

[@venetajeffrey7767]

I just have to tell you that you are so very blessed to have such beauty and love surrounding you. It brings tears to my eyes on almost all of your videos, I have been living vicariously through you guys and I love it

[@rosedowning6466]

You aren't the only one.

[@courtneybrewer6813]

Ben is absolutely precious. My daughter just turned 22 but I remember all the special times and magical things she used to say (from the mouths of babes). I'm sure you're so thankful to have these videos to capture your special moments. What I wouldn't give. I so enjoy your videos and watching you and the family continue to expand your efforts into being more sustainable. I'm just a city girl from Boston but you have encouraged me to grow my own food, no matter how small the endeavor and to take it one step at a time, even when I'm thinking lightyears ahead. Thank you so much for sharing all of you with all of us.

[@crazyhorsecrafter9073]

Ben is just too ADORABLE and PRECIOUS!!!! sending love and blessings from Germany!!

[@acoatofgold5627]

Save some of those nuts for your feeder pig during the last month to two weeks. I guarantee that meat will be the absolute best you’ll raise. They turn those nuts straight into flavor. - Jacob

[@timothynadeau6837]

Swweeet! What great moments! Yeah I am a Ben fan. I see what u mean about a glass house, unknown friends, loving strangers, sharing blessings and being truthful. We are blessed by u and ur family. In God's strength stay positive, weighing pros and cons, truthful, and thank u for continuing to share and grow community lovingly. Thank u for helping us grow a beautiful garden. We are so thankful. U r in our thoughts and prayers!

Ben honestly did do a very good job with the camera & his speaking about the animals & things. I was impressed, and he came by it so naturally.

After watching the "beautiful mug" video I didn't think your little boy could be any cuter...until this video. What an adorable good little soul he is. Love your family, you all are such great parents.

[@gelwood99]

My son was a major fan of coffee milk. A splash of coffee with a bunch of milk. He still remembers his morning coffee milk with mom. 😊💕He is 25 almost 26 now.

[@brratso]

First day of watching And you make people feel very comfortable almost like I’m right there keep up the good work

[@robinnotthatrobyn]

That is probably my favorite thing about Roots and Refuge, it feels like you are there. Like you went to visit a friend.

[@kuriouskat1490]

I agree, it's having a conversation with a friend.

[@rachelhall4808]

“This is my mom. Her name is Jexica.” So stinkin cute!

[@jackieskitchen1966]

I was watching a program about Tudor times, you happen to have plenty of woods so I thought I'd mention how they contained pigs with homemade tudor fencing in which was very solid. I just thought I'd put a bug in your ear so you can look into it if it intrigues you. ;) I love watching your Vlogs you have a sweet family!

[@rosemaryloves2garden]

Ben is as adorable as they come. Good job stepping in Buddy, loved it !

[@serenityhillsfarm1798]

Can we be besties? 🤪😘 I love you guys so much - keep up the great work!

[@ericahinkle4901]

Omg Jill! I love her! I’m so glad she decided to start her channel Whispering Willow Farm ❤️

[@Jess-vc2ox]

You and your farm are so beautiful 💗 I will never have the opportunity to have my own farm (it would take actual miracles) but I am so delighted and grateful that God allows me to enjoy yours through your wonderful videos. They are a lovely bit of sunshine in my day. Thank you 💗

[@judithjohnson2111]

I love the pigs. But Benny Boy stole my heart again.🙏💜

[@pgnanofarm9776]

You gotta love the community and friendships. Makes the work much funner.

[@brigittelm6054]

Great Job Vlogging lil'one.... Your a champ 🏆 at telling a homestead story on your video.❤

[@WithrowUrbanHomestead]

Great job Ben!!! I love ☕️ too.

[@roundmott]

Good job, Ben!!! You are a natural KZbinr and a great little helper.

[@NiaLin]

I see Ben in 15 years sitting in front of his lap top, dinking a cup of coffee while editing his latest, much anticipated docu-vlog series for KZbin. What a precious helper man! Thanks for sharing your time with us.

[@sylviafoust9545]

Love hanging out with you. Great farm. Loved Ben doing the video. He's such a good helper. You are so patient with him. He's learning so much. Bless you all. Love Bear to.

[@onfireforjesus8374]

Little Ben done a good job, hes so cute. My children use to help me when they were small in the garden. My sons now that they are all grown still till for me at times when I need help. Seems like your fall is busy like ours. Before we know it, it will be spring!😊

[@littleozarksfarmstead]

I have no words, but I have inspiration and smiles 😍😍😍

[@fionar1656]

Your gorgeous little boy should vlog more.

[@WholesomeRoots]

I wish I could have pigs! I absolutely loved Benny's vlog! He is a natural! I can't believe you are going to expand your garden? How will you take care of it all? I struggle with my little space now... You rock!

[@caramc5013]

Such a sweet boy and great KZbinr! I am happy for you guys. Your vision for your Homestead is awesome and your garden is such an inspiration! I cant wait to see your Back to Eden area.

[@bananashowtime]

You have raised a beautiful child

[@samiam5288]

[@lifeofkatieann]

[@kaithuffman7922]

I CHOKED ON MY COFFEE WHEN BEN CROSSED HIS LITTLE ARMS AND SAID "no I want coffee"

[@laurarochester3054]

❤❤❤❤ so many precious memories all in one vlog. God bless

[@lexilego1736]

Love seeing the before compared to now of your garden and family. 💕

[@1870s]

Nice have you ever back to Eden gardener before? What will you grow in it. Have fun with the Old Spot.

[@donna9384]

Good job Ben. He is such a good helper for as little as he is. Can't wait until spring to see all the new garden area planted and growing. Hugs

[@mitche499]

I'm happy for you that your homestead is becoming reality in rounding out your vision of how you & Jeremiah want it to be. Goats, chickens, ducks, pigs, horses, dogs and cats.......and 1 HUGE garden PLUS preparing for another huge garden in the future. Yep, your getting there!! Loved Ben's filming and narration, he is quite the young man for his sweet age. God Bless. :-)

[@aptwalker2009]

Wow, Ben! Great job vlogging. A true natural :)

[@Kimmies991]

Already a subscriber to VW Family Farm, I really enjoy their channel. Andrea is a wealth of knowledge!

[@PineBrookeHomestead]

Great idea on the feeder pig. We do the same thing with moving our pigs. Only difference is we do not have a hot wire or electric netting. ATM we use a few cattle panels, some t posts, and some bungee cords. His shelter is a repurposed wild hog trap and all of the fencing connects to that. He tears up the ground so fast we have to move him every 2 weeks...unless it rains then it's faster :) Great to see the farm come along! Speed isn't a big thing. I have to remind myself that all of the time. Slow, steady, and utilizing knowledge and information I've gathered. I'll eventually get where I want to go. As will you. Love from my family to yours!

[@faithandhealthmywayformejo5584]

Cute little guy... enjoyed video.

[@disTizmoi]

The boys have their own gardens, now Ben's ready for his own vlog! I'll be his first subscriber please. 75 thumbs up! We were looking around our yard last night and realized that all the work we did last spring and summer has promoted us to the next level. Just don't know what that is. LOL

[@leannac2743]

The farm has become a true & beautiful farm!!! I just love you all!

[@janiceg6226]

O Benny Boy you did an awesome job with the camera Soon you'll be mommy Jess's camera man ! Jess i just luv you an your family thanks for sharing !!! God luv you all and so do i .. Janice G :)

[@dawnbaker9274]

Excellent young assistant there! 😀

[@Hosemastenbrook]

Haha, little Ben! Great job, buddy!

[@jkhenderson1]

Ben, you did a FANTASTIC JOB! Congratulations on your other new pig!

[@fleshemx]

Oh wow! Those fuzzy pigs are SO cute! I have just very recently found you on KZbin and trying to play catch-up on your posts! Love your farm...AND your garden too! Love all that you post...I have learned so much from you and your family!

[@googiesfairyfarm4834]

What a great little future homesteader/vlogger! I’m so jealous that you have walnuts!
