You sir, are a hero! Your videos uplift me daily. Your alert actions may have saved a life. If no else takes the time to tell you, THANK YOU! It's an honor to be a subscriber.

[@donnamays24]

Ditto!

[@SimplyJanHomestead]

Praise God that you took the extra time to listen Zach! Blessings!

[@SuperKaratemom]

Praise be that you were able to help that man! Your farm is stunning in the fog!

[@builtontherockhomestead9390]

Decades ago I lived in an apartment. Came home from work late at night and opened the windows to let the heat out. No AC on during the day and it had been in the 100's. After awhile I started hearing "help". After I was positive it was a human, I called 911. By now it was after midnight. A bunch of officers showed up and eventually figured out the apartment the "help" was coming from. Thankfully he had an open window an officer was able to climb into. Turns out an elderly man disabled from a stroke had fallen in the bath tub and couldn't get out. He had been there since around 3pm. Due to the heat no one was outside. Thankfully the man was OK and escorted by the police came to my apartment and thanked me. We never know when God will use us to save someone's life.

[@marilyngodfrey868]

I'm thankful for your good hearing...you probably saved that gentleman's life...and gave a gift of hope to all of your subscribers. Thank You. I thank God for your young family, and the extensions. May he continue to bless you all!

[@ahtemmathehun3506]

So glad you were able to hear that man's cries for help! I'm sorry about Maverick, it's always hard to lose a friend like that. The farm looks simply breathtaking with fog! Have fun at the fair! We're on the opposite side of the country so we won't be able to make it, but we're hoping we can once we move back to The South!

[@dianedeck]

It was very fortunate that you were able to hear the driver. Thankfully. I'm sure he is very grateful that you heard him and were able to help him. Hoping he is not injured too bad and is able to recover okay.

[@mccoolfarmandgarden]

Don’t fret about the bread Jen! I totally get it! I stopped making sourdough bread and other breads when garden season started. Store-bought is better than nothing. Y’all inspire me even when you use store-bought bread 🥰

Sorry about your dog! I am so glad you checked the voice you heard and I'm sure he is too! You might have saved his life for sure! I hope the guardrail goes back up!

It was meant for you to hear that man. Thank goodness you did! Maybe you can find out if he's okay. Jenn, nothing is perfect, never is. We all do what we have to. GOD bless

[@floridagal150]

Wow, I believe God called upon you today and put you right where you were needed. They definitely need to put the guard rail back up and add some reflectors especially with the fog. The farm is looking beautiful!

[@verashular3116]

That man could probably sue the State or local road department for not putting that guardrail back up. I hope he is okay.

[@evalinawarne1337]

MedVac comes from extreme medically needs. He had a lot of injuries internally possible. I was an EMT. I PRAISE GOD that you heard him. GLORY BE TO GOD. THANK YOU JESUS. The guard rail should of been repaired and put back up. That could of prevented the accident. Glad you heard the man screaming for help.

[@peaceofmyhearthomestead4611]

At the right place at the right time. You were his angel today. And that was my favorite thing about staying on the farm, getting up early and walking around with a cuppa coffee visiting the animals. It was so quiet and so peaceful.

So glad you looked into and played a part in saving this man's life. That is fundamental that you are there to instill values into your children. Sorry for the loss of your dear Mav. I hadn't watched your channel for a while-crazy work schedule- and I realized I really missed you guys!❤

Sorry to hear that you had to say goodbye to an old friend today too. That is one of the hardest things I've had to go through, but I keep bringing new fur babies into my life and accepting the fact that the love and joy they bring comes at the price of those hard goodbyes. Totally worth it though. ❤️🐶❤️😇❤️🐶❤️

Thank God you heard him! Always listen to your gut! Way to go Zack! I live in the Smokey’s of NC and like you we have fog almost every morning..particularly heavy in the late summer. It usually clears mid to late morning but I love that because it keeps our mornings so cool! I don’t call it fog..I call it magic mountain mist❤️🙏

My condolences on your pup, and so glad you were able to save a life by trusting your gut. I believe your “gut” intuition is God trying to get your attention. Thankfully you were open to hearing.

With a stressful situation you have two choices, you can laugh or you can cry. I'd rather laugh. ❤️

[@moniquem783]

I’m sorry about Mav. It’s heartbreaking to lose a loved one, no matter how many legs they have. What a day! So glad you trusted your instincts! Hopefully there’ll be a little follow up story in a local paper or something so you’ll get to find out how the driver is. Jenn, nothing wrong with buying bread, but if it does bug you to buy it, consider a bread machine. I had a cheap one that lasted me 12 years and made a really decent loaf of bread. It wasn’t artisan, but it was pretty good. Had a lovely crust. You spend 5 minutes putting the ingredients in and press a few buttons and 3 hours later you have a loaf. Mine finally gave up last week and I spent about half a day thinking maybe I could make do without one by using the stand mixer to knead etc and then I thought about turning the oven on to bake a loaf in the middle of summer and thought nope, not doing that, so I bought another one. I splashed out on a fancier one this time as I now know I’ll get my money’s worth, but honestly there are only a few features which the new one can do which the old one couldn’t, so a basic model would do what you need. If you don’t like the hole in the loaf from the paddle you can use the machine just to knead and for the first rise then hand shape and bake in the oven, or you can pull it out just before the bake and remove the paddle so you just have a little hole. It really is super quick and easy, and is a way to have homemade bread without putting in all of that time and effort. If you do decide to look for one, the biggest thing to be aware of is that many of them make a very tall loaf that won’t come close to fitting in a toaster, but there are models with more of a rectangular pan which makes a loaf that looks more like a regular loaf. They seem to have lots of them at goodwill at bargain prices so maybe keep your eyes open for one and give it a try.

[@nt9476]

Never thought there are such beautiful places in the US.

[@mariezafonte6473]

Thank God you followed your instincts. Zach and Jen have a safe trip this week.

[@debbiecrouch709]

Oh Jen don’t worry about the Homemade bread even veteran bakers are not doing the homemade and do it more during the winter months/holidays after school starts especially homeschooling. You are awesome getting done what you do and Zach you were surely used of the Lord today!

[@judyjackson639]

Oh my. Bless you Zac. God definitely has plans for you and Jen. This truly was a blessing. Imagine the relief that man had knowing that somebody had found him. Such an emotional time again God bless you

[@lauraklein6405]

Oh my goodness 😮. Just shows how fast your life can change in a split second. Also how important it is to learn to trust your instincts. We have gotten away from that. Zac, I’m so sorry about Maverick 😢. We are dealing wit the same thing with our 13 year old yorkie. Hope your trip is wonderful!

You guys will be amongst most of my relatives!! They live very close by!! Done the fair for years when my grandfather and grandmother use to work the consession stands(way back then). I hope you enjoy and have lots of luck!!! Also, loosing a pet you love as family is NEVER easy!!! My heart goes out to you!!

[@Alpha1Farms]

What a blessing you were there! I once got a flat tire on a very rural rarely traveled dirt road in the middle of a Vermont winter. It was 10 degrees that day. The snow that time of year makes everything silent… you only hear the trees creaking in the cold. As I was changing my tire I heard what sounded like a cat crying out but very faintly. I got curious, crossed the road and went to look… there was a car buried in the brush about 50 feet off the side of the road but completely hidden. Inside was a 17 year old girl her dashboard had crushed her legs pinning her in the car. She’s been missing for 3 days stuck in that car in jeans and a hoodie when it had been dropping well below zero at night. She survived but her legs were never the same.

[@marking-time-gardens]

Thank you too... for listening and responding... your flat tire was not a coincidence... but your checking on a "sound" was a choice... thank you for making a difference for the young girl and saving her life. Blessings on your day Hero🥰🌻🐛🌼

[@robertahubbell9038]

So sorry about Maverick. It is emotional we put our dog down in March. It really was hard on me. Thank you for checking on that man's cry for help.

[@MomentswithMoniPodcast]

It’s still too hot here in Arkansas to bake. I try to use my bread machine but have purchased bread too. As long as the family gets fed, it’s a win. I don’t have a Pinterest house or life either. Loving that you all share your lives. Thank you 😊 newer subscriber

[@ritafirestone761]

You hearing the man screaming probably saved his life. We homeschooled our kids and I incorporated cooking as part of the classroom. Fractions from recipes had to be doubled, tripled, or even cut in half. They sure learned them well. I was able to use real life situations to help them understand what happens in the real world. My daughter is 42 married with 4 kids and is starting her Masters program. She had full scholarships for her Associate's and bachelor's degrees. My son is also married with 3 kids and in the military. His oldest is in her 2nd year of college studying Archeology. I am proud of how they turned out and the good morals and values they have.

Best wishes for a wonderful fair. Wish I was close enough to attend some of them. Looking forward to the video. Sorry about your Maverick..
