Plus I think some folks don't realize how much kids learn working qs a family taking care of animals and food to feed families. Her kids are going to be more well rounded than someone who is graduating from Harvard with a 300,000 college education

In my opinion homesteading seems like a more humane way to eat meat. Instead of buying meat from large factory farms that treat animals very poorly you get to raise the animals humanely yourself.

Jamerrill, you'll be on PBS one day teaching people about homesteading.

I think $6,000 is a bargain for everything you've done. Great job!

My husband watches you with me at mealtimes and soaks up all you say and nods his head. We are retired seniors with a herd of goats, chickens and 2 donkeys. It was his dream and a constant work in progress. He is also a beekeeper for over 40 yrs. We are thrilled to hear your testimony mentioned on most of your vlogs. You and Travis are true inspirations! 1st comment. I know you get so many. 🍃🌺🍃

Wow your always so on point...I lost my husband years ago after a long illness, at that time we were very much homesteaders with two beautiful young girls... thru many adversities we ended up downsizing and eventually moving off our land. This nasty C-19 has reminded me of our past hopes and dreams. While we haven't lived on the property we still have it...C-19 took my job and many hopes away ...but life being what it is I am receiving a substantial unemployment payment enough in fact that rather then let our property go we are now focused on paying it off and jump-starting our homesteading life again. My heart spills over seeing your many accomplishments. I would like to say while I'm only half way thru this video two things jumped out ..."homesteading requires tenacity" Tenacity Farms is actually going to be our homesteads name and hearing you say by God's grace...that's exactly what it is...my family will be ok beacuse of God's Grace... Please keep up the videos there amazing, and may you and your family be blessed.

His grace is indeed sufficient. My passion has always been nurturing and educating children. At 61 years of age, physically challenged, I was forced into retirement due to a spinal injury. My husband and I are opening a school in 2021 and I agree, I am depending upon God's grace to give us the wisdom to help these babies. He is already opening unexpected doors for us. You've encouraged and inspired me. Thank you.

I'm 62 and a single parent not by choice but what you're doing is speaking encouragement to me. My youngest who is still at home and I are trying to do a garden when I've got medical challenges and my daughter does as well and yet we're trusting the Lord for what he has shown us ahead. We call our home right now training grounds. We are in recovery mode from a car accident last fall my daughter put in seed they didn't do the best but we we're encouraged when she said just get it in the ground and trust the Lord and see what it grows and that's what we're doing. What doesn't grow we are trusting the Lord to provide.

GrandmaSewHappy Homestead Learning to garden is an ongoing process. What fails this year you know not to do next year. What works out great you learn how to do even better next year. Listen to Jesus to give you tips and have the Holy Spirit lead you because they sure will.

You have mentioned several times about finishing unpacking. I look at it this way...your children are only little one time and that time you do not get back. so when you say you all were outside doing things, instead of putting boxes away...your making memories. You don't want your children to remember mom and dad always working, but to remember mom and dad spending time with them. You and your husband are doing a great job! Enjoy your time outside and if you need something in one of those boxes...I"m sure one of those children would love to dig it out if needed. Have a Blessed filled day! you are very appreciated!

My grandpa gave me a mallard duck as a kid and our dog sliced its chest open. I put all back in, sewed with needle and thread at 10 yrs old with alot of people letting me know it wouldnt work.I put in a cage with food and water right in front of it and he healed and lived a long life☺ Was very cool to hear you and your mom did this too. Now 53 yrs and I have chickens, turkeys, ducks, a peacock, many geese and they all live together free ranging together happily with kiddie pools only. 💗

Your talk about God's grace really hit home with me. I need to reach out to Him more and let him lead me! P.S. Your shirt is adorable!! Love the colors on you. :-)

I’m excited to see your canning days. We had our first meal out of the garden yesterday and it was so delicious! Snap peas cooked with bacon & potatoes and corn on the cob, and onions, cucumbers cut up on the side and I fried pork chops and cornbread. It was so good. It’s so worth all the Blood, sweat and tears. Nothing better than fresh vegetables from our own garden! 🌻🦋💜

You could build a greenhouse and start your heirloom seeds early and transplant next year and do all heirloom seeds. This year grow, grow, grow.

I was doing something new yesterday (I'm 57), and my daughter acted like I had grown a new head when I told her it was new to me. I'm not scared to do new things, either. Do your research, pray about it, and add perseverance and tenacity. That's how you do new things.

Just plant and grow whatever you have. It's all food, right? Enjoy the bounty. Then you can do your ideal heirloom garden near year. I truly enjoy your videos and your so very pleasant voice!

Jamerril is preaching Gods Grace today and I am grateful for it!! I'm planning in "my head" too, when I get a house next year I'll be trying so many great things inspired by this channel 🤗🥰🍓🥒🌶🍆

Rabbit droppings are gold to the garden and it doesn't have to age!!!

What wonderful childhood memories with your mom and now you are giving that to your children! Some of my earliest memories were at a time when we lived in the country and had a big yard and a large garden. Maybe 2 acres. Sitting on the porch waiting for the bus for kindergarten watching the hummingbirds. Happy memories. Thanks for bringing some of them to mind again........also the explanation of Gods grace. Kind of hit home with me the way you explained........

Oh Jamerrill my sweet sister in Christ. The Lord always uses you to remind me that the JOY of the LORD is our STRENGTH. You encourage me and my daughter in the Lord and you are such a blessing💜💜💜

When your corn is done, remove the leaves, but leave the stalk. Then tie your stalks into a come shape and grow your tomatoes etc up them.

Amen! I love how you are not afraid to talk about God and explained God's grace to everyone. God is good!

I didn't just do my laundry listening to you, I did the whole house.

I love the mantra “if it’s easy God’s in it” definitely things can be hard but if the way seems to be opened for you that is God’s way of showing you

The Homestead is just a wonderful way to raise your children. They will look back on this with fond memories and be grateful for their childhood!!!

I love how you handle the tough questions and comments with grace and kindness!

I love your God’s Grace “ talk “. I so needed this today. I’m a widowed, homeschooling mom with two graduated and two left. You are such an encouragement to me and many others 👍😊🤗🙏👌🏼🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

I love how you said that you go where you feel God’s grace. I really needed that advice. Thank you so much

I absolutely love hearing you talk about your mama! ♥️♥️ I can hear the love and admiration you have for her.

With regard to cost, you're right in that it doesn't save tonnes of money to raise all the meat and milk yourself, but the quality and freshness is so much greater than what you can buy for the same price at the grocery store. To me, that's a huge win!! Plus, as you said, the wonderful experience and growth of doing the work yourself.

Jamerrill: love your videos. Hope all goes well with the “farm”. This is probably the way our ancestors farmed. Moved to an area and brought seeds and some animals with them and that is how they survived. My parents had a subsistence farm. They had a potato field and a vegetable garden. They had cows. Mom even had a flower garden that had plum trees. They also had an apple orchard. Unfortunately, my dad passed away when I was four and my uncle took the cows except one and her calf. I named the calf Fudgy. Then we got a pig (Pinky) and my brothers raised chickens for 4-H and meat. Another uncle came over and butchered the chickens while my mom and aunt defeathered in the boiling water. Such memories. I think we were richer with the subsistence garden than money could buy. That helped us a lot. I love your vlogs and please continue. My mom taught us a lot after dad died but I will leave one story for winter for you. See? I can be suspenseful, too.

so appreciate your long talks on the log! i’ve so enjoyed your posting! so jealous of your space and commitment- congratulations on your family’s amazing journey and thank you for sharing.

I’m amazed by what you have and hope to accomplish at your homestead. I appreciate your transparency & honesty. Thank you for being an inspiration !

I love it! I love it all! 🤗 I think your lengthy explanation about how you plan to give all the animals their best life before the have “one bad day” was great. For those people who don’t eat meat, it’s all good. You do you and and I do me. I tell my teen daughter, the chicken doesn’t get all pretty and boneless at the grocery store just like that. Better the kids know where all their food comes from and how to care for animals and be self sufficient. I am not a homesteader, I am a gardener. I make many things from scratch and try to learn things along the way. So I’m glad to see you try all the things that I might some day, or that I might not try. You were also very gracious in sharing the cost of your homesteading start up. Many pop wow might of. It felt comfortable with that. But I do know that I’m different states the costs would be higher or lower. I live in Southern California and 6k doesn’t sound ridiculous at all for all the animals and products that you’ve gotten, all the investments and most of all...all the learning your children will gain. Also loved the garden tour the other day 😉

I’m amazed by your energy and simple enjoyment with life!! Well I am a gardener as well, I have nowhere as much land as you. But if I did I’d be planting just as you are. Gardening is a lot of trial and error and experimenting. That’s how we learn, just living and doing and trying and failing and succeeding. You are blessed:)

Thank you for sharing your journey. I find the homesteading so interesting, but have no plans to do it myself! You and your family are so sweet!

I like your gardening method. It’s a lot like my gardening journey. I feel like all my gardening mistakes have taught me so much and I get better each year and find out what works the best. Thanks for sharing your journey. You inspire me. God Bless you and your beautiful family.

I love your videos and the fact that you’re willing to share so much personal experience and information with your whole process. I know it’s now always easy to share so much, but it is very helpful for people like me who are trying to learn right along with you.

Love that you homestead :) Watched for years and love the board.

I have a tremendous amount of respect for someone who can raise animals, give them a good life, and eventually process them for food to feed their family. I think its important for children to learn where meat comes from. It doesn't just magically appear in the grocery store. God Bless!

You are just amazing to me, mama! I love how you choose your adventure and you say it so politely. Your outlook is inspirational! Your "forever home" is an adorable name. Your sweet devotional on God's grace was encouraging and so true! I am SO excited to watch your homestead journey! I loved you to start with and I just love you even more now! I learned quite a bit with this video. We are building our coop and have chickens for the first time because of the current situation, I felt the same way. I would love to move to being self sufficient. It will be much slower than What you've done but the positive about being behind a step is I get to learn what works for you and what doesn't so I'm really at an advantage! I just love your channel, I watch when I need my soul quieted, and by the way, your bow headbands are just adorable! They are the perfect little homesteader look. I'm going to get me some now! ;) have a sweet and blessed day and know that your genuine self is truly appreciated and admired! 🐥💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗🐥

Jamerrill you are one amazing Momma! I think quite often people spend a lot of time thinking about all the things they need to get done in a day. But you get up and get it accomplished by putting one foot in front of the other. You are an inspiration to me. I love that your family all pitches in to make things come together too.

Fantastic! Thanks for taking the time!

Jamerill, You are such a great blessing to me. Hon, I’m old enough to be your mom, yet you have inspired me so so much, and I’m so so grateful to you.🥰 I gardened as a young woman, while our children were growing up, my husband and I have in the last decade as well. But... this year I just felt so overwhelmed, health wise, etc... but I’ve watched many of your videos, and you’re always so laid back, so confident, and just jump in with both feet. You so inspired me into “just do it, what can it hurt,” attitude. Well, we’ve just planted again after a LATE frost hit, then weeks of LOTS of rain... I pray everything we’ve planted is fruitful and we have a great harvest... But just in the doing... it’s been a great blessing. I LOVE your outlook on homesteading, I feel you’re a very wise lady, please don’t let anyone make you question yourself. 😉😉😉 Sorry for babbling, just know you are a GREAT BLESSING and source of info, and I so enjoy your videos. May God bless you and keep y’all safe and well! 🥰❤️🥰 xoxo

Jamerril , I have to tell you what happened .. My grandson was watching your video with me and he loved the animals... So a couple days later her cane in here and said, Nana, I said yes, and he said that chicken lady you watch just posted a new video... we had several chuckles about that ...

You have given me inspiration to start a small homestead in my backyard.

Love how you name your homes. My kids have done the same! We went from the blue house to the green house!

It is great to sit down with a cup of tea and just listen :)

Oh my gosh , you are so fabulous! You are such an amazing woman, mother and inspiration. Good for you setting your goals and going for them!

Thank you for your videos ... Your are a wonderful role model for your kids. Your husband is very fortunate to have you as a wife..
