We've Been Keeping Something From YOU!

[@justgoodness333littlehomes5]

The 1st month I was home full time, my new business only brought in $700 and 100% of that went back into the business. God had told me to prepare to leave my job ( I'm a single 1 income parent) I could not.see a way to do that. I got into herbs and such and started making Elderberry syrup He then opened a door for me to sell that on Amazon and 3 months later covid hit. God set me up in His timing. He is always faithful. I'm so happy for y'all .

I believe with my whole heart that nothing is more important right now than learning to grow food. Forget buying gold & silver, everyone should be buying heirloom seeds and books about seeds, gardening, food preservation. God bless your family and your journey.

You should look into growing tulips hydroponically. No soil required.

My parents worked our farm together while I was growing up and it was so amazing how much time we got together. Looking back i realize how fortunate I was especially with them both gone now. Your family is super fortunate.

O, and I have some women's Hisea cowboy boots and omgoodness! They are stunning! They are a light brown that has a reddish brown design but it only shows in some light, it's stunning! I wish I could add pictures here because it's really hard to describe. Love them!

Oh my goodness I was laughing so hard about the "side by side" and golf cart comment because my hubby is the same way! 😜 We actually have a golf cart and he bought knobby tires and never gets stuck and even uses it in inches of snow 😆

Now your most important job starts, congratulations

[@gardeningwithprincess]

I'm glad to hear someone else say out loud that things really slow down this time of year because most ppl don't garden year round. I sell seeds, and sales are almost non-existent between late September and early January.

[@shelleyhenry4410]

Woo hoo! Congratulations!!!! Wild dreaming, faithfulness, and persistence has brought you here. Keep up those wild dreams!

[@lindablandon5286]

We come to LR some. My father use to peddle veggies and go to LR river Market back when it first started. It is ok if you like veggie and flower farming. Hubby hobby farms as I call it. Registered black angus. With that, he cannot quit the day job. Medical insurance is biggest need. Parents never had insurance but that will not work today unless you have money.

As a new (2nd year) sheep and veggie farmer I can totally relate to seeing communities age out. I’m so glad you all can step up and make it happen! Especially this year when supply chains are still out of whack and many folks are priced out of grocery stores. Best of luck this season looking forward to seeing you grow!

[@worleyhavenhomestead1448]

Oh my goodness first of all Im so proud of you all second God is amazing this is my dream and God has been speaking to me about starting a market garden. He gave us the land a couple of years ago, and yes God gave it to us we bought 57 acre for what we were looking to pay for about 10 acres, I am so excited for you all and I believe this is going to be the encouragement and inspiration I need to start our market garden, God is so good!

I can completely relate to what you were saying in the beginning. After Christmas I felt very tired and drained of all creativity. I was worried as a content creator myself and my other business that all my ideas were dried up! But something happened the past 2 weeks and I feel more creative than ever! I thank God for that! And I am in Ontario Canada and I agree 23 is cold but especially for you! Lol

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Thanks for sharing!! I pray God blesses you with a renewed vision for this year

[@BucketListHomestead]

@@WhisperingWillowFarm Thank you! I am also envious you get hubby with you full time now lol That is our dream, of my hubby completely retiring from the military, he served 30 years active duty and retired to part time reserves. We would love to be able to grow our homestead even more. God Bless you both!

[@darlenesgardenandhome]

Wow! Nathan from Whispering Willow AND Zack fom Stivers Homestead BOTH pulled out from their jobs to work full-time on their farms. AMAZING to see how God works so y'all could do that.

I whole heartedly believe that you must follow what you’re called to do. I think this is why I feel like I’m failing some days because I’m being pulled away from that so often. Todd and I have this thing we’ve been saying for at least four years…”keep doing what we gotta until we can do what we wanna.” You guys give us such hope for our future! 💚

[@FoundationForFamilyFreedom]

That laugh at the beginning sounded super mischievous. 😊 It's difficult to see and hear you be so ecstatic and happy when one is not as happy. Sometimes i wish you'd tone it down because it gives me a complex and reminds me of what I want and don't have, but in the same breath i need it. Im lucky enough to farm and wild harvest full time and feel bad im not as grateful a d happy as I should be. I don't want God to see me as ungrateful because Im very grateful I've just had alot of trauma I am still healing.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

You and I both know our jobs are not always easy. Also, you all only get to see what I show you on video. I choose to show/teach on topics that I'm passionate about. Because I get to choose these videos and because I feel I'm called to share our journey and encourage others, I love it. Farming and homesteading is definitely not as glamorous as what you see on all these KZbin channels. I encourage you to change your perspective on what you do every and know that what you are doing is valuable and worth it. Keep your head up my friend because you are worthy 🙏

[@exvaxmama]

Yall two are just the cutest!! Must be soo awesome having Nathan there with you full time to help you run everything Lord knows you've got plenty to run lol. I'm still praying my hubby will get on board with my gardening endeavors, been 3 years so far and he hasn't been in my garden not once lol. Although that may be a blessing in disguise lol. Bless yall and the farm! do you have a video of propagating eucalyptus? I have one small silver dollar plant and just found some seeds that I can't wait to try to start lol!

I'm going on 4 years of being an UPAID KZbin content creator, & my 3rd year of growing & selling cutflowers (or at least TRYING to sell them!) & my husband & I agreed upon 5 years of investing into it, before I'll have to give it up but because of the prices of things going up, we've we through every bit of our savings, & we are at the point where I'm going to have to go back to working a regular 9-5 my sales aren't better this year! & I hate it! Because I love to grow & I love encouraging & teaching people to grow sooooo bad it hurts!

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Oh I'm sorry to hear your struggles. Without knowing your area/market. I would encourage you to find and grow a flower that no one else in your area is doing. Sometimes all it takes is growing something different than anyone else that makes you stand apart from all the other competition

Long time viewer here; I remember watching you guys in your little house (boy did I love that house lol). You always talked about Nathan wanting to join you, but it not being realistic at the time. Look at you now! Take a moment to relish in the length that you have come, and all the stress it took to get here. Be relieved!

I second this and leave the insurance we havnt gotten that panned out our son has several health issues epilepsy unfortunately due to genetic thing we recently found out and we must have insurance because so expensive but we sonfeel like we need to expand but limited bc if medical finances

[@ontariogardening]

@augustagootee6254 yes! I am in the same boat. My medical insurance covers so many things that I need. I'm so grateful for it, and not sure I could afford to not have it. So sorry about your son. I work with lots of epileptic patients (some children), and the treatment options they are exploring are incredible. Keeping you in my hopes and thoughts.

I’ve been sick a lot in 2022 and it’s been really hard to keep up with everything on my channel. And because things have been going up so much it’s getting harder and harder to budget everything out. So I have started a lot of new content on my channel to make it easier for me to save money, but you can’t turned up, and not spend a ton of money and break the bank. Plus I do like to garden and I’m going back to gardening and Fairy Gardens a lot more my channel because that’s what I love doing thank you so much for sharing the wonderful news about your channel.
