WE BOUGHT A HOMESTEAD! A New Chapter Begins..

[@emilygreenthegreenadventur2110]

I’m not sure if y’all are Christians or not but God has definitely blessed you!! I have chills watching your next chapter unfold. I’m so, so happy for the both of you and can’t wait to follow along. Thank GOD those last two offers didn’t go through! My husband and I went through something similar this time last year and found our (very likely) forever home. Our first offer didn’t go through, and we were heartbroken. Now looking back, THANK GOD! We’re now settled out on a rural plot of land almost 1 acre and the neighborhood is so spread out that it feels like we have more land than we do LOL. This used to be a farmland back in the 50s and we plan to reintegrate that slowly over the next several years!! We have started a small veggie and herb garden this year, and your content couldn’t be more inspiring for this!! Thanks for all the inspo over the years, and once again, can’t wait to follow along!!!❤️ -Emily, The Green Adventures

[@sholly1741]

Amazing news guys! I live in Orange NSW (cool climate in Australia) sort of similar to NZ. If you haven’t already you should watch “The Gourmet Farmer” and “River Cottage” - these are both Aussie shows showing the journey of people learning about setting up homesteads, kitchen gardens and hobby farm animals with the help of local knowledge and permaculture principles. So inspirational!!!! Good luck on your journey ♥️

[@treesforlifeong1639]

Oh Carrie, i am so very happy for you! A dream come true!

[@ianh2674]

Well done guys, it’s a nice part of the country. Now you can finally get attached to the property, keys in hand and get started with this new chapter in your lives.

[@clp1705]

How poetic that you spent our Autumn/Winter (hibernation time) looking around and finding your feet and have a place to bring in the spring - 🌸 I’ve always thought Spring feels more like a New Year to me, everything coming back to life :) So excited for your new chapter in this region 😍

[@HonourableHusband]

Getting a very strong Green Acres vibe here-except Carrie as Oliver and Alex as Lisa. Congratulations, and enjoy!

[@Nessa-92]

My goal for such a long time. Things always work out. This is a great example that every door closed there is always an opened one. I’ve been one of your first subscribers since you started and seeing the growth is just amazing. A breath of fresh air and this land is beautiful. I can’t wait for you to show us more and learning with you.

[@brycelemaster6986]

“The world is working for me” has been my mantra for months. This is so true for you and Alex too ❤️

[@lamaunicornbowbow9357]

Your comment just helped me so much right now. Thank You! I sometimes deal with dark episodes and in those you tend to forget some positive thinking you already thought was embedded in you because of the work youve put into personal/emotional/spiritual growth. And so your comment came in my life to remind me again, that I can trust that everythings working in my favor. Thank you! And the best day to you, as you gave me a best day 🙃🧡

[@Holly.57]

Carrie I'm one of your older viewers (literally I'm much older and I've been watching from the beginning lol). I've actually been watching your channel from the time Ingrid announced it on hers and I subscribed. You've come a long way and I'm so very happy for you both! What a dream come true and I look forward to watching this new journey in your life, in your new house, and watching you make it your new home. All the best to you both! xo

[@joannewinter7879]

Congratulations Carrie and Alex and Lanka 💯🙋‍♀️🐾

[@stuffattention2039]

Ahh how lovely you have moved into the beautiful Wairarapa, where I live too:). A wonderful resource for permaculture in the region (Carterton) is Helen Dew, she is a brilliant, interesting woman, doing lots of teaching around permaculture- a book had just been written about her. Maybe one day me and my three dogs will see you and Lanka around some where:). A tip- the very best (of many wonderful places) place for dog walking it Lake Wairarapa/Wairarapa Moana - at the reserve out of Featherston. Enjoy the emergence of your garden- how things grow here is magical!

[@nyssabloom3154]

So glad you finally found you place.

[@JoleneVegas]

Congratulations you guys!! It’s beautiful 😍

[@marie2140]

Congratulations! So much fun!

[@Dreadwill]

Great choice of location. You'll find the summer temperatures very hot as it's normally a good 5 or so degrees (Celsius) warmer than the Hutt Valley/Wellington City

[@cecilecronau784]

Congratulations! So happy and excited for you! Looks absolutely beautiful 😍

[@fareebug8439]

So EXCITING!! Beautiful property- I love those hills ❤️ 🥦🌽🍅🍠🥕🥑🫑🥬🍅 Definitely check out Charles Dowding no dig method, it will cut your garden start up work in half! 💕 Congrats, Congrats, Congrats!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🏡❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@mardeva_]

Omg get some ducks I swear you will enjoy just even looking at them and they help your garden

[@gabbyboulanger]

This looks beautiful! Congratulations!

[@_smolSam]

I LOVE videos about permaculture farming so I'm super into any farm life content

[@alicecooper5249]

Congrats on the house! Little NZ recommendation, I reckon you two would love the TV show ‘Country Calendar’. A real NZ classic, it’s normally on 7pm on a Sunday on channel 1 (not sure whether y’all are TV watchers) but it’s all about people around NZ who have farms and what they do and all that good stuff. Best TV show to ever come out of NZ, please get amongst I reckon it’s right up your street!

[@CarrieRad]

You’re absolutely right. Country Calendar is the one thing that got us through lockdown in LA. We had to find the episode on KZbin as it’s not available in the USA but it got us so excited about our move. Alex’s dad being a kiwi got us on to the show. It’s so good!!

[@janicerodriguez285]

Congratulations Carrie and Alex. What an adventure. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@SweetHeavensSunshine]

Congratulations you two cuties! 😍🥰🙏👸🏻🤴🏻!! Your home is absolutely gorgeous, and so charming! If that isn’t living the dream, then spank me and call me Sally, because that sure looks like it to me! LOL. I really felt in my heart that all the other houses didn’t work out, because the right one was waiting for you. And look at this. A stunner! Oh wow, so many fun adventures to come! ☺️ I can’t wait to sit along for the ride, on those rainy days inside, or when I need a little bit of pick me up and motivation. Love your channel. So inspiring. Living the dream babes. Cheers to new memories!! 😄🥳💯👸🏻

[@PheeFab]

The universe has spoken xx congratulations I can’t wait to see what happens next love you two x

[@moniquevelasco20]

Oh Carrie, so excited for you guys! You finally found your dream Home. You are so excited with all the future projects for your land and the house. I’m ready for the future videos. Love you guys. Congrats. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Be safe!🤗😘🌼🇻🇪

[@lisad8281]

You'll love the Wairarapa! I lived in the South Wairarapa as a teenager (didnt appreciate it at the time of course and left as soon as I could), but I go back about twice a year to visit my mum and stepdad and its so nice and relaxing. I dunno where in the Wairarapa you are gonna be, but check out the Martinborough Fair. It happens every year on the first Saturdays in February and March. So good but get there early, it gets pretty crowded...like attendance numbers are usually at around 30K each time,

[@ShalmaliAthalye]

Congratulations guys! So happy for you! Love from India

[@hannahr1304]

So happy for you guys!!

[@alissarabbouchi8588]

What a happy way to start the weekend? So dog-gone happy for you both! We did something similar back in 2002. There is no other place on the Earth that compares to living here in New Zealand 🇳🇿 ❤️ If you ever decide to try alpacas as we did, I’ve got an amazing book to suggest and some solid tips. Oh, and look up the Hungry Bin worm farm…made here in NZ and sold world wide…best worm farm ever 🐛 👍🏼Looking forward to seeing all you do! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Congratulations its so cute and perfect 👏👏 sounds so amazing with your wishes to learn about agriculture and permaculture. Im so excited to follow and learn with this journey. I am in Brisbane Australia (ex-pat kiwi) and we are wanting to grow our own veggies etc. We certainly want to be sustainable also. We have 30 solar panels on our roof and have zero electricity bills and also feed into the main grid.
