Jess I am so sorry for the people who feel justified to judge how you spend your hard earned money. I have never in my life encountered such rude and emboldened behavior. I love your transparency and the fact that you open your life to a bunch of strangers! Some folks dine on a lot of sour grapes. I for one am so pleased with your success! You share hope which is desperately needed!

Jess! I got goosebumps when editing Jess comes in and I heard Carolina Homestead Exchange exit your mouth! What a beautiful communion with McMurray!! Over here in Utah we have valued our McMurray birds for years! We could see the value in the company with our first order. You are so deserving of this beautiful opportunity Jess! You are so humble and have worked so hard! I have learned to garden mainly from you. I don’t give up because I hear your voice saying that “these plants want to grow, all you have to do is give them what they need”. At least a year ago I heard you say that. After every storm and I want to give up, I hear you encouraging me. The garden is so resilient! I had no idea! Most of my life I gave up. It wasn’t until you told me how much they just want to grow. So simple yet so life changing Jess! I can’t wait to keep learning from you two!!!

[@upstategardener]

I live little further up in South Carolina, and I am excited for when the store opens up. There is such a need for things like this, I personally have felt like there's so many people in my area trying to do these things on their own and not really having the time to invest in learning the right ways to homestead. I have made so many mistakes well not even mistakes more like missteps. And there's so many things I still have to learn. And as someone getting started in this, and pretty much all of life a little bit older than the average person getting started, it can be daunting. Like I'm not afraid to do pretty much anything that I watch KZbin videos about except for canning because you can kill someone if you don't do it right. And the whole idea of doing some of this is to find a way to provide for your family to protect them. I've asked so many people if they teach me how to can and nobody has really maybe even felt confident enough to show me or host a small class of people who are interested in it. And as someone who did not have the advantage of growing up being taught these things in person by my relatives I very much would take the time and spend the money to travel to another part of the state to learn something so important in person. I literally will be planning a vacation that way when the store opens just for that purpose. I'm very glad God is blessing your dreams and this matter and I pray that he continues to bless y'all so you can continue to be good stewards of the knowledge and success that you have been blessed with. Thank you.
