Amazing so many Strong Christians are heading to homestead. This is so encouraging , thank you.

[@SBECKTRADITIONS]

Literally my 2 favorite YT gals together. 🤗

[@americaneden3090]

Agreed!💚🌱

[@evelynwatkins1105]

Yes!!!

[@JmarieD]

I was excited for them. They are some of mine too.

[@marycountry]

Yep!

[@amyarmstrong8283]

It is always great to connect with other farmers, or homesteaders. But the greatest connection is meeting another brother and sister in Christ.

[@beautifulvirtualhometours5322]

So glad you two found each other. I just love both of your families and appreciate you immensely for your love of gardening and the Lord.

[@daniellegrandpa]

Your love for life, family, animals, everything is heartwarming.

[@sparrowsknow8491]

Man. I love how your channel reminds me how so much can change in only 5 short years. It’s truly so life affirming for me ❤ thanks Jess. I know my story will be so much better in 5 years. God bless

[@karenparker3246]

As soon as I saw you two girls together, tears immediately rolled down my cheeks. You two are my favorites. Guess seeing you together was just so wonderful. ❤️❤️

[@terrihubbard3741]

I learned the hard way about touching a electric poultry fence when you have a hole in your rubber show.....Oh Mighty! Thought my heart was going to stop! Just imagine the shock shoe-less animals get!! WOW!!

[@AliciasInTheKitchen]

My great-grandparents would take me driving in the Fall as well. My great-grandmother always told me that the leaves changing in the Fall were God's coloring book, and now as a 40 year old grown woman, that is always my first thought when I see the changing leaves. Glad you got your pigs. They are so pretty.

[@kimberlym3764]

And here you are two years later with a dozen little ones. 💖🐷💕

[@growingstrongrootsSummerWest]

and now SO MANY BABIES...🙌🙌🙌 WHAT A BLESSING🙏🙏🙏💡💡💡💚🦋

[@alisonhallock7870]

I am so happy I found you through Kevin and Sarah's channel. I have been binge watching your videos all day! Today I even called my daughter who is in college studying global studies , bio and sustainability and told her about you guys. Her job at school is to take care of the greenhouse on campus.

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

Thank you Alison!!!

[@scratchmadehomestead9343]

We follow you both and learn so much. I know this was an awesome meetup of like minded people. We love this community!

[@deltaguy28]

Two of my favorite KZbin Families together.! Good luck with the poodle pigs :-) And stay blessed!

[@KathyW5]

Oh my gosh! You two are the two homesteaders, or should I say 4 homesteaders, I watch all the time. So glad you got together. Both of you have great common sense and are wonderful teachers. I am not a homesteader and at 72 I will never be one, but I do some container vegetable gardening and have gotten tips on these 2 channels. Both of you make my online days happy. Thank you.

[@43carlaj]

Oh my gosh! Two of my favorites together. I did not know you knew each other. This is awesome

[@changarookitty6920]

[@carriem7832]

I am sooo envious of the relationship you two have...I watch both of your You tube videos everyday.....I wish I was close enough to visit and see your great homesteads.....😍

[@aprilwilliams8647]

I didn't realise they were near Ava! We haven't been watching them long but were inspired by the what's great about Missouri videos and 1000's of Roots ro move to the area next spring or summer. Were do excited to be moving near all of you!!

[@soverylisa]

It's a thrill to see you two couples together! I've learned so much from all of you and am glad to know you are so friendly with each other. Please think up a project to collaborate on.

[@adventureswithannabeth2600]

Love the "poodle pigs" I have never seen that breed of pigs but they are cute! I'm so happy for you that you got to meet Sarah and Kevin. Love their channel, we are raising rabbits bc of them! Hope the pigs do well for y'all. Really enjoy your channel and that you dont hold back from talking about the Lord, for without Jesus we would have nothing! Thanks for sharing

[@PrattFamilyHomestead]

PIGGIES!!!! YES!!! They look great! Looks like overall you had a great day and hung out with great people!! SO SO SO cool! - Mike

[@matthewbenton1284]

I spent a year in college living in Springfield, Missouri before transferring back home. Southern Missouri Northern Arkansas is beautiful Oct-Nov!

[@Anunnasboy]

Trout fishing on the White R. in Northern Arkansas, Calico Rock was my favorite childhood place

[@jodeeclarklompa852]

Seeing you two homesteaders together has truly made my day! I started watching LTH a couple of months ago and was hooked. Then I started watching RaR and was hooked with them. I love your two families and have learned so much from all of you. You are a delight to watch!

[@lilbitatatime3763]

Congrats on your new additions. It will be fun to watch you on this new journey of raising 🐷🐷🐷. Thank you for sharing! 👍🏽

[@lv143582]

[@nancyclingan5396]

I have never seen curly haired pigs! They are so cute! We just had normal straight haired pigs and they got huge! We had a large family to feed so we had a lot of different animals on our farm. Love you video!

[@hannahrosefl]

Two of my most favorite families!

[@wendybertie1395]

Hello Jess and Miah. I enjoyed your visit with Sarah and Kevin of Living Traditions.

[@RockingCHomestead]

Those are some pretty pigs. Kevin and Sarah seem like super awesome people. We are buying their two little bucks that you guys were playing with. I'm jealous that you got time to spend with the little rascals.

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

Oooh how wonderful! They were so precious!

[@RockingCHomestead]

The goats or Kevin and Sarah? 😉

[@mlang3066]

Awe this is so awesome... my two favorite families, getting together.. Love it!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jennysfarmsweetfarm7726]

What adorable pigs!! I've never seen or heard of Curly pigs. Have fun with your pigs!

[@NS-pf2zc]

I watch Living Traditions nearly every morning. They are good people and have pretty much the same goals as us. I'm glad you got your dream pigs! They are so unique!

[@judyreynolds305]

My 2 favorite ladies together! So excited!!

[@karenriggle5435]

My dad and I did the same thing in the fall in northern Minnesota I still get wanderlust every fall

[@jkhenderson1]

Two of our favorite channels! We so enjoyed seeing you all together!

[@robynmaggard2320]

If you have not crossed Peel Ferry between Arkansas and Missouri you really should. It runs 7 days a week daylight hours. Beautiful drive especially when leaves turn.

[@5NFarm]

We've made those crazy trips too. Ha! Many long haul goat pick ups. Lol ..i think done of the best pumpkins we've grown have popped up in the compost pile and near the chicken coop. Gotta love volunteers! 😁

[@jumpoffa5011]

It is astonishing that my two favorite ladies happen to come together and spend a day together. Sarah and you have the best smiles ever! To see you two side-by-side is like seeing two of your favorite rock stars together on stage. Then to see that sweet family with all those furry pigs. I never knew pigs could be so fuzzy. It just made my day. :-)

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

Aw you are so sweet! She is so precious and I’m glad to know her ❤️❤️

[@mariagomez6279]

I’m so happy to see my 2 favorite homestead family’s together

[@uddercharmsfarm8159]

Omgoodness those pigs are cute! I just got my 2 American guinea hogs back today from the butcher! I’m blown away....we ate pork chops tonight and they are soooo good and tender! I don’t make videos but I put one up today just to show quantity of meat and lard from these pigs. Can’t wait to see your journey with pigs.

[@geraldanderson6634]

Stopped by to check out what you guys are doing on your homestead. Ive been following Kevin and Sarah almost from the beginning ... thanks for sharing your passion! Looking forward to watching you guys progress!

[@robertlafollette8931]

I"m so happy to see you two beautiful ladies together, sisters in Christ. God Bless.

[@alisonpaine8879]

Omg I cant believe I just saw this video! You two are my favorite channels EVER!!!

[@christiebetts4970]

Cool pigs! I had never seen that breed of pigs,they remind me of poodles lol.Love Living Traditions,they really have a gift of teaching

[@Trivit30]

But now that I’ve finished watching.... cool fuzzy pigs you have! They have permed hair!

[@marlenehahn5678]

Love both of you ladies. Love all the videos from both families. You make me so homesick for Arkansas. We may actually get to move back next summer.

[@pmessinger]

I'm so glad you went see Kevin and Sarah! I hadn't seen your channel, but now that I have, it's good to see what you're doing, too. Great camera work, on-air presence and interesting information. N. Arkansas and S. Missouri is the region upon which plans for my long overdue escape from urbanity are based. Really looking forward to putting so much I've learned from watching so many homesteaders all over the world actually reach their destination and make it their home. My inspiration; renewed hope.

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

Thank you!!!

[@sharons.7262]

Funny poodle pigs!! We are cattle breeders in Texas use to have goats. We have wild Russian hogs on our ranch. Great for sausage. Love Kevin and Sarah's channel. God Bless SMILE Jesus Loves you!!

[@RayleneBrowne]

Sarah and Kevin are wonderful folks!

[@WalkingScriptureWithShanna]

This was awesome. So glad to finally see the origin of the pigs

[@HorseyGal4ever]

Wow, great find! My 2 favorite homestead ladies together!

[@CreatingEssence]

Look at those lovely, furry piggies! SO CUTE! And delicious

[@homesteadingpastor]

Thanks for sharing this adventure with us. We really enjoyed it, we’ve been following Living Traditions Homestead for a while now but just subscribed to your channel a week or so ago and we really enjoy your videos as well. We started living the homesteading life in 2017 and love it, and we just started our KZbin channel a month ago, it’s slowly growing (100 subscribers as of today) as we are learning more about creating, editing and sharing our videos. Looking forward to watching more of your videos and working together with all of our KZbin families. Love those pigs, wouldn’t mind having a few of those myself. Glad you guys had a safe trip. 🙏🏻😇👍🏻 Pastor Lon Howle ( Harmony Acres Homestead) Hartsville South Carolina The Homesteading Pastor.

[@messybunonabudget8773]

I found your channel and Kevin and Sarah’s the same week and honestly couldn’t tell you which was first. Love all you guys and learn so much! I have a very small urban garden right now but praying and hoping to move to a place with more room in 2019. I know our three dogs would love it too.

[@_LUNARVAEZ]

Wow I'm glad youtube recommended this video. Never seen this one! Awesome!

[@stormyacreshomestead173]

How did I miss this video??? I love and follow you both here on YT and other social media. I’ve learned so much from you both!!

[@WithrowUrbanHomestead]

One of my favorite “How To” channels. They know their stuff.

[@WholesomeRoots]

So glad you got to see Kevin and Sarah! Those pigs are the cutest things ever!

[@tward8718]

Wow, what a neat and tidy farm. So clean!!!!!!

[@jaynemar1]

Love Kevin, Sarah and the girls! So glad you all got the chance to be together!

[@anashomestead5919]

That was a cool video, I also loved the one you had just done with Living Traditions when you visited their homestead on your way here to get your pigs at the Honeysuckle Farmhouse. They also look like a very lovely couple. There are so many great & sweet people on youtube, if they haven't started a channel I hope they do soon.

[@kimgoren8895]

So happy for you guys. I literally started crying tears of joy. I share the same dream. Saving up money to get my own homestead. So cool to share in your journey. Keeps me motivated!

[@aleciahamiter6554]

The goats eyes 👀 are really out there

[@1870s]

Super cute pigs and just what an awesome community of resources we have! Enjoy raising them.

[@mommy2kdk]

I found you all from Kevin and Sarah. You are definitely going to become a daily video for us! We are in the beginnings of working towards a full blown homestead. Need land and move for that but doing urban style right now.

[@jchny00]

I follow you and living traditions, how cool it was to see you meet up!
