Not only are you guys building this amazing homestead/coffee/all the things community space, the amount of jobs you are creating for your town is incredible! The textile plant may have left in the 90s... but 30 years later Jess and Miah came to bring them back! It only takes one or two new businesses to bring back life to an old town. So now, it’s not just who you will employ, but the business dreams of others who may not even know it yet- and who they will employ... and the community they will create. What you’re doing is so needed right now, on so many levels across America. As always, I’m continually inspired by you two. Love you big time🖤

The rental equipment is SUCH a great idea!! I wish I could rent a plucker here. I would also suggest a gas post driver. We set hundreds of posts for cattle pasture and then had no need for more posts, so there was no reason to spend over $1000 on a driver. We got our workout in with a manual driver!

My grandpa was born in 1901. And he was a wonderful man! Such an amazing man! A real farmer. He had so many stories we loved hearing them. He had his own bees, steam engine to thresh his own wheat and oats. And he grew his own meat, food and had a beautiful orchard with all kinds of fruit trees. They canned food. They had sheep, cows, horses, pigs, chickens and other things. There's a deep satisfaction in doing things that have been dreams. Can't wait to see the thing come together bit by bit. Take care to not get buried under all of the responsibility of such big dreams. Good dreams! Grandma and Grandpa cooked there own maple syrup and harvested their own honey from their bees. I say they were RICH! Not in money but in experience and skills.

You guys got this 👏🏼💪🏼 Also, to all those who pray: can we all make a little pact to pray for Jess and Jeremiah as they walk this out? I’ve thought to pray for them each time they post a video; they give so much of themselves, the least we can do is drop a prayer for them 💕 hugs Jess! Congrats! 👏🏼🥳

I think your store project is great. I want to come up there, not that far away, when its finished. Something like this, instructions on natural farming, etc, is absolutely needed. And this store will be a draw for tourists, farmers, homesteaders and people growing flowers alike. My city has an old-fashioned ice cream shop downtown that actually has old penny and nickle bubble gum machines full of gum balls. Believe it or not, small things like that actually bring in customers. They also have old-fashioned coke machines that have the small bottles of soda. People love it, especially the older generation who want to introduce their grand kids to what they experienced when they were younger. Nostalgia is a big seller.

11:00 LITERALLY me right now. Was crying even before you said that. Feeling like I want to do all the things you're doing but I am that girl on the barnes and noble floor right now. Single mom. Working 4 jobs, not enough money for groceries for my baby and me, let alone gasoline and homesteading supplies. Wanting to homestead and help others learn to homestead. To help us all get back to how life was meant to be lived. You are an inspiration to me. Now I just need a miracle.

Oh wow, I wish I lived in that area. I would totally rent out chicken butchering supplies. I love the idea you guys have with your store, I wish there were more places like that in the world. You guys are awesome! Keep up the good work! 👍

The equipment renting sounds amazing. I am not close enough but I was thinking that would be such a good idea. Even something like a freeze dryer would be hard for someone to afford but renting would be so able.

Jess, you and Miah make my heart explode! I live in a city that is constantly losing businesses, and it's so demoralizing to see another empty building and my hopes of a happy prosperous community even further off. Thank you so much for doing this for your town! I know it means the world to them. And thank you, thank you for not forgetting where you came from and wanting to help people who were in the same position as you. Lack of funds for getting into this lifestyle is such a real, big deal. Thank you for your heart, passion, and compassion.

Jess, I live in Australia and I’ve been watching for years. My partner and I are planning to travel the world 2024/25. And visiting this small American town, drinking one of these coffees and hopefully attending a class, just became the thing I’m MOST looking forward to. I work a job I hate with a 45 minute commute and listening to your devotionals on the way helps me get through the day. Much love.

This is so wonderful!!! I'm so proud of what You and Jeremiah are doing for your community. And fulfilling your dreams !!! I live in North Carolina and I feel like I might have a chance to come meet you and your family some day . Now that you are close enough for me to travel to you. I always have wanted the farm life but now that my Husband has passed away at 56 it's just not going to work out. I love the you love the Lord and I'm grateful for channel's like yours I'll be praying for all your dream to come true and as I will be praying for a chance to come to the coffee ☕ shop someday . God Bless you all.

It’s all about Divine Appointments! Only God can give you favor with the Mayor, your new partners, and your future employees. This is all so amazing. How you prayed and listened to His Voice after going around the block several times! I almost cried when you mentioned the name of your roasting company, Beulah Roasting Company. “Beulah” is what The Lord called me, even though I wasn’t married anymore and was raising my five sons by myself. I pray for continuous blessings over you and your family. I hope I can visit someday. 🙏🏻🥰
