A little bird named Jess sent me! So happy to meet all y'all. Thank you for your service to our nation and thank you for tips on the Homesteading Life! Will be back often!

[@BlueBellyAcres]

We appreciate you supporting us and Jess blessing us with a call out. We are loving this homesteading life!

[@susan-almosta_farm8823]

ditto! 😊

[@BlueBellyAcres]

@susan-almosta_farm8823 thanks for joining us.

[@caitlynj5259]

I'm also here because of Jess!

[@BlueBellyAcres]

Thank you for joining us and welcome!

[@caitlynj5259]

Jess sent me over here! And dual vets here as well! We're starting our journey of homesteading on acerage and are so exciting! We are moving to TN from texas to accomplish our goals!

[@BlueBellyAcres]

It’s an exciting ride. As veterans, as you know, we are used to being in odd and impossible situations. Homesteading will push your limits, but I also think this is where we grow and learn the most about ourselves. Welcome to TN and thank you for joining.

[@BearBonesLiving]

Such great tips! Thanks for sharing!

[@BlueBellyAcres]

This has been a lot of fun…can’t wait to see yours tomorrow.

[@BearBonesLiving]

@@BlueBellyAcres thank you so much for inviting me to join your collaboration!

[@jacquelinedeering3452]

Jess sent me over. I'm so glad to have found your channel. My husband, who is also a Navy vet, and I are closing on 12 acres next week. We are in Central Kentucky. Thanks for the tips. We definitely need everything to be as automated as possible because we both have full-time jobs. Thank you for your service.

[@BlueBellyAcres]

And thank you for you and your husband’s service. We originally looked at Kentucky but found our home here and loving every moment. Congrats on your property. Also, thank you for joining us.

[@OZARKMEL]

Jess sent me! Great tips, thank you so much. I'm in the "classroom" right now...growing a small garden in my backyard, learned how to can and am now researching animals and their care. I love the "organization" tip....you can't manage what you don't measure! Be blessed....

[@BlueBellyAcres]

Thank you for stopping by. Don’t rush the learning but it never stops. We still learn every day but as Jess said, fail forward.

[@MyAlabamaFarmLife]

I am here from Bear Bones Living! So glad to meet you!

[@BlueBellyAcres]

Bear Bones is the reason we finally started documenting our journey. Thank you for joining us.

[@lifewithmikeandjenn5814]

Jess sent us over. Great timing as we are in development now. Thank you and be blessed ❤️🌿

[@BlueBellyAcres]

Thank you for swinging by. Enjoy the journey. It will be the best ups and downs you can imagine. No regrets!

[@lifewithmikeandjenn5814]

@@BlueBellyAcres we have been asking ourselves if empty nesters in our fifties should be doing this again in a different state? We sold our paid for everything with all the coops, gardens, tractor, orchards and all to relocate to the other end of the country to develop a raw 20 acres. Yup, we’ve lost our minds! lol

[@BlueBellyAcres]

@lifewithmikeandjenn5814 Welcome to the insanity. We are also in our 50s, empty nesters, and doing something completely new. We are enjoying learning and even learning through our mistakes. It’s scary, exciting, draining, and fills us with joy…all t the same time. Thanks for joining us!

[@TamiTeller-r5b]

Thank you for your service.

[@BlueBellyAcres]

Thank you. It was one of the best decisions for us and excited to use some of what we learned on this new journey.

[@dadjokedavid3044]

Love it! Really great tips! From our farm to yours! Keep up the great work!!!!!!

[@BlueBellyAcres]

Looking forward to going forward together and learning.

[@donna5754]

Jess sent me and I’m so glad she did !! I just hit the “subscribe” button

[@BlueBellyAcres]

Thank you for joining us!

[@kimberlyparker8802]

Hey !! It’s so good to meet you ! I have a couple of friends in western NC that are also military retirees starting their homestead❤

[@BlueBellyAcres]

Thank you for stopping by…the military definitely gives us a unique way of looking at homesteading. I hope they enjoy it as much as we are.

[@renaissancemaker2309]

I like what you did there at the end. Looks great and great tips.

[@BlueBellyAcres]

I wish all projects were just that easy. LOL

[@takeitslowhomestead5218]

Thanks for the tips and encouragement!

[@BlueBellyAcres]

They are all learned from the school of hard knocks. I’m not smart but I am persistent. LOL Thanks for watching.

[@forkandtillerfarm7105]

Great tips! I can relate to all. We are also in East TN in Morgan County and freezing water with the pigs is a huge problem this year. Looking for different options for next year. I like the black barrel retaining more heat. LOVE your home upgrades so beautiful!

[@BlueBellyAcres]

Thanks for swinging by. The black barrels don’t keep for the deep, long freezes but definitely gives a good start. Stay warm friend.

[@gypsygirl731]

Came by thru Jess at roots and refuge good job guys

[@BlueBellyAcres]

Thank you for stopping by. It has been a great ride and couldn’t imagine doing anything else now

[@joyinthesouth1615]

Just found you through Jess. Thanks for the great video.

[@BlueBellyAcres]

We appreciate you swinging by and checking us out. Love this journey!

[@LaMoynihan1]

I enjoyed your video. Jess sent me as well. My husband’s retired military and planning on retiring from his current job and I’m hoping to homestead then. Great advice. Hopefully we’ll do as you recommend. I’m horrible at documenting. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@BlueBellyAcres]

We just try to change one or two things at a time. It will take a little bit to get your routine dialed in but it is more difficult than chaos. And if the documenting is a challenge, do photo documenting…you can then go back and look at the pictures if you need to see where things were. Thanks for joining and good luck.

[@zoeshorthouse7913]

Hi. I'm new to your channel. I found you through Jess. Thanks for the great tips. My husband and I are also retired. We are planning to move to East Tennessee this year to start a homestead. Maybe we will be neighbors. 😊

[@BlueBellyAcres]

Thanks for dropping by our channel. Good luck on your homestead journey. And we are always welcome to good neighbors.
