"The beautiful one" makes my heart sing as my father never referred to our mother without the beautiful preceding the word Mother. If only all men expressed this sentiment their lives would be far greater. Thank you! I miss this so much and your teaching your children how to be happy - love it!

Have you tried to look into a Commercial freezer and fridge raider restaurant style? It might be more cost effective.

This resource is a keeper. Never has 40 mins gone so fast. Loved every second of it. I grew up on 500 square miles sheep station, in the Australian outback and now live in a city. But. I still use permaculture practice in my backyard. Blessings from Australia ❤️

I swear when I tell people they should watch your channel I always say “he always calls Rebecca “the beautiful one”” it’s really so sweet and endearing and just a testament to how connected you guys are. I just love it so much! And she really is so beautiful 😍

That's really amazing you and your family were able to accomplish. Hearing you refer to your wife as "the beautiful one" is just adorable.

Its amazing how God provides everything ❤️ the rain, the sun, the clean air, the animals and the fertile land all was given to to use and take care of and you have done a great job ❤️

Justin, maybe you all should make a sand bed for the cats to dump in? It appears they are just taking advantage of the raised bed, because it is close to the home and has spots for them to poo in. Make a nice sized sand box, and put Catnip plant in the box to attract them to it.

I decided to just plant all flowers on that raised beds and maybe will continue to. Didn’t know about black pepper. It does not harm the plants ?

Brilliant... As a 73-year old with limited mobility and resources, watching you guys is the nearest I'm gonna come to farming. Plus, I started out live in North Carolina. It's mighty refreshing to see. It may not matter that I approve, but I do very strongly. Plus, if the Giftie decides to send me back for any reason, I'd like to at least start out on a farm and family like yours.

Due to being too busy, I hadn't seen your episodes for about three months. I'm so impressed and amazed at how each garden has grown in abundance. Great job. Love your enthusiasm. Love your family. You and the family (and Joel) have inspired so many to become sustainable. Thank you for sharing

I haven't watched a video since you made those raised beds and holy cow man, your place is looking so good. Those full freezers and lush gardens make me jealous, I gotta admit. What you have achieved with your family is exactly the kind of life I desire.

Justin Rhoades it's a great idea showing the public about what have established on the farm for your families survival in the event of any type of natural catastrophe or break down in the infrastructure! As a long time followers of the channel many of us had been taking along by way of the channel as you put many of these systems in place. I'm sure that your family is so grateful 🥲 and as a viewer of the channel I'm thankful for you sharing the experience. You are a very details, goal oriented and organized personal great moral attributes that you are passing down to the future generations of the family.👏👏👏

Thank you Justin, for keeping on even if you have to repeat somethings again, thank you for not quitting. We all know there is new subscribers just as we all were some or other time. But the gold nuggets are in-between the things we already know, right next to the inspiration and permission slips you hand out so freely. Be blessed brother. Respect from Africa 🇿🇦

My god, I use to love watching this channel, as well as Living tradition homestead. And recently while catching up on the videos of this channel, I found the sow the land channel. My husband and I have 20 acres, we’ve had it for about 10 years now. And now we’re in our planning phase of what we want to do with it. This summer, I plan on spending a few days there during the week and weekends raising chickens and trying my hands at gardening in raised beds. I’m excited!! Most importantly I’m looking forward to hands on learning through trial and error.

This is the Justin Rhodes I subscribed to years ago. I absolutely love this video! Thank You Justin😊

Hello Donna 👋 How are you doing today?

me and my girl ex girlfriend used to watch your videos wayback 2019. You guys influence her alot to dream having her own land and do permaculture just like what you guys are doing. we find Gideon so cute. She now has her own land and starts to grow her own foods and veggies. Justin inspired her a lot in many ways. She is a great woman with a great heart .Thanks for sharing your videos with us it made us happy and inspired.

When you started talking about being the third generation and 90 years on the land, I felt that. My family has a similar story of being on our land for 150 years before it was sold. The connection I had to that land and my ancestors was amazing! While I do not get to live my dream of being the next gen farmer of family land. I do get to steward my own legacy with those same ancestors guiding me along the way.

100% agree with the grass clippings....I put them around half my cabbages this year and they were without a doubt the best cabbage I had and i also didn't have to weed them either...next year i'm going to deliberately cut additional grass as a mulch because it is awesome

Nice to see your feeling better now and look like your 100% your farm looks so lovely

Thanks for taking additional time to share your POV. I, unfortunately, didn’t come away with much. I my humble opinion; you’d have made a larger impact had you been conversing, teaching and learning from Jonah & Josiah in this video- Cheers!

Wow ~ your homestead living is very inspiring! I just bought a 10 acres land in Arkansas this February 2023 and accidentally I came across with your vlog.

Than’x a lot for sharing your expertise & knowledge to us. Really appreciate it! I just subscribed in your utube channel. My Fiancé & I are your big fan. Goodluck & Happy Farming 🍀

What I really liked about the video is that when you were out of sight of your LGD, she followed you until you were back in the open. Great informative video and to see better how everything was connected. I might not be able to do all that you do but I am able to do a garden and will be buying my meat organically raised.

My family appreciates you and your family's effort to share what you do and how you do it. Though we live in the desert southwest, so much of what you teach is applicable to our environment because permaculture principals know no boundaries!

For the problem with cats in beds, try putting dry bushes and twigs in the ground. It helped me. They usually don't feel like crawling through them to get to the ground, and the plants don't mind.
