    I just posted Zach & Jen a message that is almost like yours, both my husband & myself are disabled & I wish we had made different decisions in our lives as well, my husband will be 68 in July & I just turned 66 in March... wish we had a plot of land & a few chickens... if you have a mind to it....... look up my posting & read what I just wrote & then I slipped down a few postings & found yours......We both are living our lives through Zach & Jen's life I'm guessing.... Take care my friend.....take care....

    I am very busy sound the house and outside. Things keep being more difficult for him. I love watching Stivers … I could watch 24/7. My Justus a very bad diabetic and things cost so much for him. But I’m putting Them on my Christmas list! I planted a good size hard this year. It has all done well but my tomatoes. Not sure why. We live in Southwest Iowa on 3 acres that he was raised on. 2 brother in laws as well. We had a two story old farmhouse we lived in for thirty years on a lonely gravel road. Decided we need to get closer to paved road and put up a modular home and 3 car garage. Wish I was back at old home.

    I have lived in ky all my life. Every time I went to other States, I am so glad to get back to Kentucky. I don't believe there's much flatland, But the land is so durable. Rich soil, Our trees are beautiful. The air is different. Always so glad to be home. You have to watch out for bobcats and coyotes, when hunting.. Blackbear is starting to come in to Kentucky. But they scare easy. So far. Kentucky just feels more like God's country. Blessings to you and your Homestead

    The first thing my husband does when we move is to put up a clothesline. My favorite chore is hanging out the laundry. When our granddaughter was 4, i was out hanging clothes and she said "grandma, why do you hang your clothes outside? I said, because they smell so good. She said yeah, they smell like 🌞 sunshine." Every time since then when I am hanging clothes, I think of that. Thanks for the tour! I am new to your channel and very glad I found it. ❤😊

    10/31/2020 was the very first vlog that I've ever watched, & that was when all of your goats went missing, Man what a time to start watching you guys, it did hook me into your lives, I had to keep coming back to see what the outcome was... I'm saying all of this, because I have seen BIG CHANGES in your farm, in the Kids & in your lives........ You guys are amazing, one of these days I'm going to have to have a Stivers fun filled day & go back & watch all of your postings I'll just have to make a day of it & watch them back to back... I wonder what that would do to your ratings... if it would harm you guys let me know & I won't do that.... I wouldn't want to do anything that would harm you guys or your ratings...So if you read this posting PLEASE LET ME KNOW.... I wouldn't think that it would, but then I don't know how all of these things work... You both have put a lot of BLOOD/SWEAT & TEARS into your Homestead, you should be very PROUD of all that you've done. My husband & I are looking into trying to buy a plot of land & a house, but there are a lot of loopholes that we're having to deal with, so if you have a mind to it please pray that God will have compassion upon us & allow us to find that special place that he's hand picked out just for us. We're both up there in years Tim is going to turn 68 in July & needless to say we're both so out of shape that it's not even funny. Well to be honest we both are disabled & have a lot of health iss. so we can't get to big of a place, because neither one of us could take care of a large place. I'd just like to be able to have a few chickens, we pretty much can't afford to have any other farm animals, because we simply couldn't take care of them nor could we afford the VET bills.... Why am I telling you all of this? I guess because its 3:55AM. & I'm feeling Happy for you & a let down for us, you've made something out of your lives and have such an awesome homestead to show for it & I'm very PROUD of you both. & I'm feeling sorta bad about our lives, because we've not started out this adventure in a better way..... but then our lives were so different when we started off this journey back in 1998.... We can't cry over the past & since so much water has crossed over the bridge we can only work with what we now have now & with what little time we have left on this earth....Love you both very much!!! Let me know about watching your postings back to back...................................

    Loved the video. I remember when the garden was on other side and you build boxs. You guys have done a lot. Put in a lot of work. Love Jens store. Having major medical bills right now and hopefully in a few months can start ordering. Usually Im not a prued. But I hate seeing those candy cigarettes. I remember them as a kid. I was a smoker a short time ago. I just hate to see them being sold at your store. When your selling products that help us. I will keep on seeing your videos as they do. Till next time
