I'm SO sorry for the loss of the previous owner of your farm. I teared up along with you... SO sad. But, It sounds like he and his wife are so relieved that your family farms the land, making such good use of it, and enjoying it so much. That gives them much happiness. Lovely...

[@wendystuthers8706]

Janice, you are a woman of patience, I could never wait long enough to percolate my coffee in the morning!! Looks like everyone got a lot of work done!!

[@melodyspoor3127]

People, like your friend, are gifts from Heaven to show the rest of us how to be better people. May he RIP/RIL. Sending extra hugs for David, he seems so sad lately.

[@nodaknorskie1486]

This may sound odd but I've known several people would have been on the elimination diet. Several of them either drank 1/4 cup of sauerkraut juice first thing in the morning or ate 1/4 cup of sauerkraut in the morning. Apparently it is really good for gut health and healing.

[@traceyseabrook1076]

Luv, luv, luv your video's including ALL your children. The content is not unique to me growing up on a large farm here in Ontario, however I enjoy watching your home life and content on the farm....it truly gives me joy. I know it's been a few months since this post, but what a gift you and your family have taken over from the previous owner whom recently passed. Knowing the history of the land owned previously is a blessing for sure. Simply Thank you. From Ottawa, Ontario.

[@laurale8299]

I'm so sorry about the loss of your friend. Thank you for mentioning he was a believer. Sending prayers for his family and friends. I enjoyed the Day in the Life on your farm. Reminds me of my childhood. We always had a milk cow, sheep, chickens and sometimes a pig, along with a vegetable garden. My mom conserved and made many things from scratch. She use to make lye soap. It's just me now, so I don't farm. I can and freeze fruits and vegetables a little bit. It's so nice your children help around your place. Sweet children. ❤️ 🙏

[@kathyloomis3107]

Angels, all I can say is your children are angels💞💙💞💙💞💙💞💙💞💙

I am so sorry for the loss of your dear friend. And your right, knowing he is with the LORD makes it easier to bear a death.

[@sabrinadevol1210]

Enjoyed the tour around your property, seeing the animals, the root cellar, and the greenhouse. What a wonderful, busy life you live! I'm sorry to hear about your friend's passing. Praying for peace and comfort for his wife. Blessings.

[@kel70]

I swear, Abigail is the smiliest (is that a word? Lol) kid I have ever seen. You just never see her without a smile on her face and a little giggle. It's so genuine and sweet. It's even contagious, I'm not known to smile very much that's just how I'm wired but, I gotta admit she can always bring a smile to my face and that ain't easy. ❤😅

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

What a wonderful compliment!! Thank you for being so kind to my sweet girl! :)

[@donnabennett1256]

I live with my daughter, son-in-law, & grands. We have three with food allergies & sensitivities-all different ones. We are careful to do no cross contamination and, much to my chagrin, completely avoid the actual allergens. No tree nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds, etc) and no peanuts. The sensitivities are spread over 3 of the 4 grandkids and include dairy, avocados, apples, pineapple, kiwi, bananas and most raw veggies. It makes it hard to make a thanksgiving or Christmas meal with all the goodies. We have become very adept at making sure if we do make, for instance, an apple pie, it is done separate and apart from everything else. It can be done but our kiddos are older and understand the gravity of food allergies. The 10 year old always gets peanut butter when her sisters are away from home. She immediately goes to wash hands & face and brush teeth before her older sister gets home. I hope it works out for your family.

[@SusanBishop555]

I am sorry for your loss. Thanks for this FUN video! I love the longer ones. It looks like you are dealing with the diet change for the one who needs it...cool! I love your animals and gardens. They are so refreshing to see. I am in a small city and enjoy your wonderful life style! Big Hugs and Love. 😍😘🤗 Susan from Michigan

[@judykelly5358]

Love this kind of video Janice, your place is much bigger than i realised. Sarah's plant knowledge is wonderful and interesting, i have the same sense of awe when i see new growth. Thank you again for sharing with us xx

The man who passed sounds like he was a force. I’m sorry for the loss of your friend.

[@debbierowe5891]

Janice so sorry for your loss. We will be keeping you and your friend's family in our prayers. I love this video. It is so sweet seeing the children in their morning routines. They are so sweet. Looks like it was a beautiful day on the homestead. The last package has been delivered today. 4 packages in total from Temu.❤

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Oh my, thank you, Debbie!! I'm sure Shawn will bring it home with him today then. :)

[@lbrowne28]

I love your videos! It has entertained me while recovering from knee surgery. That is a busy day! I laughed when Sarah was whispering at the end.

[@jf6751]

You can use shredded potatoes as a binder in salmon patties as well if you make thinner crisper patties.

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Oooh, that's a great idea! I bet it's delicious too! :)

[@KimWatson-e1m]

I have some dietary restrictions and one of the things I do when making soup is to just make a base of all the things we can all have. I then just pull out mine and add the other items like barley to the rest. Once you get used to it, things will be easier and more natural. Praying it gets resolved and this is just a season in life not a lifetime thing

[@CheriGoodwin]

I absolutely loved this video! Beautiful weather and just a beautiful day. I would give anything to start my life over being one of your children. Just the morning scene alone is so calm and peaceful, no rushing to get on the bus, no rushing because Mom will be late for work. There is no mad rush to find their homework, brush their teeth and get dressed. Just everybody moving at their own pace, they know what they're supposed to do and are doing it. So sorry about your dear friend passing away. My heart aches for his poor wife. That would be so difficult to move through. Cheri

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Thank you for the sweet comment, Cheri! I hope our children look back on these days with good memories. We're busy, busy, busy, but I like to think it's a happy kind of busy and not a hectic kind of busy. :)

[@davisange]

It’s interesting to see the similarities between your children. For example Abigail always nod her head just like Andrew does and Anna does similar gestures like Sarah

[@vikkibyington3066]

Janice, So sorry to hear about the passing of your friend. Your paths crossing must have been a God Thing. Both families blessed from this homestead land. 🙏🏻 This was a great DITL video. Loved it. Daisy’s calf is so adorable! 🐄 The chickens cracked me up! I was wondering if y’all had given any thought to taking a “year later” photo of the family that you’ve had since you started your channel? I was noticing how much Rebekah has grown. I think it would be cool to see how the kids had all grown. Just an idea. Love n hugs, Vikki from E TN 🙏🏻❤️

Hope the elimination diet is helping with any bothersome symptoms. As the new diet becomes more familiar it will be easier. Hope y'all have a good week! I know a girl that sucked her thumb until she was almost 12. Love & prayers!

[@bumblebee7922]

@saras4181... OH... you must be talking about ME! I did. Part of it was comfort and part stress from being scared. I have an overbite from it. My daughter sucked her thumb for a long time and also has an overbite.

[@saras4181]

No it was me too! Like you, stress and fear. My thumb was my comfort.

[@bumblebee7922]

[@martitasez]

One thought, I have a cousin had many grains eliminated when he was young, but could have rye flower. Also, he could have powdered milk. The process of drying took something out of it. Mind you this was in the late 1960's and the 1970's. Just a thought.

How did you know the family member had food allergies? Was it skin issues, asthma or something else? When I was 14 I got asthma twice a week apart as we went to fairs and I was near the hay. When I was skin tested, all the foods I was eating at that time, I was allergic too. After awhile I could eat those foods again. Also, hay, grass, ragweed, mold, trees... Had allergy shots for many years and then used vitamins, etc, when I was old enough to know better. But, I still have exczema which comes and goes. That's in the family as many family members have had it over the years, from my mother's side. Stress also flaisr our eczema up. Blessings.. LOVED the long video and seeing the farm animals, hearing them moo, the turkeys especially and all the animals. You will probably get turkey babies eventually. Wouldn't THAT be fun??
