Waiting with bated breath…WOW! such a selfless decision. God will bless ya’ll for blessing Jed.

I'm real happy for Jed because he deserves a home of his own as well. Nothing feels as good as waking up in your own space and feeling blessed to have it. Bless you both for blessing him.

Nice to see family putting family first above money! It is a win, win for all of you.

So many Christmas cards and I didn't see any duplicates...amazing how many there are! Those turkeys are so funny and the rooster competing with them lol...It was a huge/big deal and hearing you recount it just makes me shiver....tough time had by all. Your generosity of offering the cottage to Jed is huge. Makes this momma's heart happy. Truly was a Random Act of Kindness that totally caught him off guard :) tis the season...love you all

I'm glad y'all let Jed have the other house. I always thought that's where he should be. 😊

I did too, but I realize it was income also.

It’s so nice that you show the Christmas cards that you have received ♥️

Happy that Jed is blessed with the opportunity to stay in the other house. It's great to be able to help family. Blessings

So happy for Jed! I'm also thankful I was able to stay while it was an air b&b. :)

That’s great for both of you. As long as he’s willing to help you absolutely let him live in it and make it a home. I have 10 acres and it’s a lot of work, I only have gardens and small animals, no large farm animals but it’s still hard and this is one thing I know I will have to look at in the future as I am 61 and going blind. Family is great! Hugs, love, and lots of prayers from Texas!

As a family that lived with my Hubby's father, in his house, for 9 years... I totally understand the "need space" thing. As much as you love each other--- A family needs their space and a grown man needs his space. The cottage was a great solution for everyone.

Glad to hearJed has a better space, that also works for all of you.❤

I love the longer videos. I rarely watch anyone's shorts.

I'mso happy for Jed! He's a good egg. I quite enjoy watching his videos and he does a fantastic job editing yall's videos too! Congrats Jed!

I am so glad Jed is in the cottage now. ❤ It's a beautiful space for him

I have always said compound for and with my family for about 20 yrs now. But no one is picking up what I’m putting down. My kids being around your age just aren’t there yet. I do have my 91 year old mom with me after dad passed. And until recently I had my brother who just turned 69 here as well. So I hear you. Love love love you guys. I love hearing your opinions. I love hearing how God is blessing you and you are blessing others. It can’t get any better than that!!!

I bet Jed is loving the house. You are all such a loving family. Love seeing your animals.

Not sure why we just can come stay with jed🤷‍♀️🤣🤣

Love your humble heart, honesty, and love. Christmas blessings to y'all with His grace! 🐾🐾

I had to chuckle when you had to move because of the chickens and turkeys getting their word in, been there🤣. What a blessing for Jed and for you, he sounds like great help around the farm. God bless.

That's great Jed is in the BNB. I thought that would happen when Granny K moved out. Plans never stop when you have a homestead. When one door closes there is many windows that open. Owning a homestead, income is mostly unreliable. Therefore plans are always forming in your head of "what's next"? Your children also need an outlet of planning, you might consider they too young at the moment, but the younger they start it becomes second nature to do. I'm sure your family will find more avenues and paths to make income. God does bless those who think of others rather than themselves.

Very happy for Jed, what a blessing!

Great to have extra security at the back of the property as well!~

Y'all are amazing people! I've always loved watching y'all and all y'all do, but y'all are truly kind, selfless people! Thank you guys for being you!!❤️❤️

Have you considered becoming a Harvest Host ? People could come in their RV and park overnight, the expectation is that they will shop in your store and enjoy your farm.

Think he'd mind guests on spring break? We were making plans. lol It's such a sweet cottage. I'd live there. What a blessing for him. Family always first. 🥰

Have you all ever thought about letting people come and camp at your homestead? Off grid of course. I use to camp in my van and LOVED it and I was completely self sufficient. Could go any where and had everything I needed for a fun time. You wouldn't make as much as the AirB&B of course but it would help some and you would still be able to meet new and neat people....just a thought. I so enjoyed meeting you guys at the HOA this year and yes the tinture I bought from you has helped me for sure

Yes! be a Harvest Host destination. It's similar to the concept you had envisioned when people would book the cottage on Airbnb.

Rent is crazy so I'm glad yall could do this for Jed. God bless you!

🌺Wonderful decision for you all! Your hearts are in the right place that’s for sure!

Prayers for your family, on your new journey

It's great that you were able to offer this home to him, now days families need to stay close

I can't imagine my brother living with us for a long period of time. In the kindest way it must feel like taking a deep breath for you all. The cottage is such a sweet place. Families need some privacies. Merry Christmas and the hope for a bright New Year.

How nice of you and Jen to help Jen's brother out.

Wishing you your family and all the animals a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year may god bless your family and all the animals 🙂

I’m happy Jed has a place of his own where he can settle and set it up as his own

You’re truly good people! I’m so happy my KY cousins are doing well and helping others! That’s what makes y’all so wonderful! Just keep being you…your goodness shines like a beacon in the night! God bless y’all and your wonderful family!!! ❤❤❤

That is great! I think you all made the right decision. Still together, yet experiencing your own private family time. Jed will be able to have a true "place of his own." Praying all goes well. God bless you all!!

You’re doing great. Just keep moving forward. ❤️😁🎄

You guys are awesome and doing a great job. Don’t beat yourselves up. Family is something most take for granted. It’s nice to have your own space. Now just relax.

I am so happy to hear that Jed has his own separate home or space. Keep up the great work. LOVE FROM IOWA! 😊❤❤❤

I think it was the right thing to do too. In this day and time for many people getting a good place to live at an affordable price is very hard to come by....it is a good thing I believe for you. God Bless you back for this I'm sure He will.

Yay! That’s fantastic news. I was anticipating this at sometime…better late than never 😎🏘🌳

I'm so stoked for Jed ! I think he will be very comfortable. His own place, and really close to work. What a blessing. Family is everything. Forever & Always. Thumbs up and love from S. California.

We only have family. They should always come first. Family should help each other and never take advantage of family but help out when they can. Just wish I had family.

It was the right thing... good for you and Jen.

Well good for y’all! I think it’s awesome y’all are doing that. Y’all are great folks. The kind of people you would hope to be friends and neighbors. All my best and have a beautiful Merry Christmas!

Prayers for all of you, in your new situations.🙏❤️🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

I think you made the right decision to have Jed live in the other house! In this day and age it is ever so important to have family near to help and be there to protect the Homestead! I pray for God's peace, wisdom, knowledge and understanding to be over the whole family to work together to make the Family Homestead flourish! I pray that Jed will help you out whenever you both need it whether it be for helping with building infrastructure or for growing food! May God bless & protect your Family, bless you in all that you put your hands to do, that is done with love, patience and understanding, growing together, edifying and lifting up one another, that put's a smile on Our Father's face! Have a great and wonderful Holiday season, always remembering the Love of Jesus is the Reason for the Season!

What a beautiful gesture- that is so cool. Cheers Denise- Australia

Great decision. You still having an amazing Caravan that people would love to Air B & B as some are thinking of buying land like K&S Getout living in their camper and starting to clear the land with Goats organise water, sewage and power. Your could then still book it out for your own family holidays but give people an authentic experience mate.

You can always build a nother building for a bed and board kind of experience. ❤😊

I think you made a great decision for everyone in the family. Everybody needs their "space", even if it is family. Been there, done that, and it didn't last 3 years, so kudos to Jed and your family. Love seeing the puppies, they are growing so fast! God bless all y'all!

Very happy for Jed, you all are a wonderful family! Guess I won't be staying at the cottage when I get back out there in spring, lol, but I will certainly visit your store again. Love you guys, Merry Christmas, Stivers!!

Thankyou it’s about time

Dangit! I was going to plan my sprimg trip to you guys! Jed, I know there's a 2nd room in that cottage. Can I still come hang out on the farm? 😂

That is so neat, Jed can even have his own vegetable garden next to the cottage.

Awesome, just awesome, you guys are awesome, things are hard right now, your hearts are so so pure, hopefully people will take heart like you guys to help out other family members in need,just awesome 😊😃

We enjoyed our stay this summer and were looking forward to our next stay but we are so happy for Jed. Maybe we can stay in the petting zoo?? 😂 Love the Stivers!!! Until the next one 🍻!!

Y’all get the camper!

Having a family property is a dream of mine! Family should live in very close proximity (in my opinion lol). So happy for your family!! Love your shares. GOD bless

Very nice set up.

Y'all are great. God will bless Y'all.

Having the ability to keep family close-by is great and it's super y'all were able to allow him his own living space.

Merry CHRISTmas from Newnan Georgia.

I pray everything works out and everyone is happy!❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸🇦🇷

You guys are awesome

It is hard to have to make major changes. When I moved to country, I had a rose colored picture of what it woud be. Reality has set in. hugs. Give when you can. Yes. Family is important. Just told my Aunt that a few days ago. She comes first. God, Family, Neighbors. Merry Christmas.

Ty so much the turkeys really made me laugh. I have not laughed in a very long time 😂

That's Great News, I am Happy for you All, It would be nice if you could build a house for Jenns parents on the property also, Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

I always like it when you talk to us, Zach! You actually started this "settling" shift a few months ago. Your energy changed for the good. Blessing to you and Jen and your family!

What a great idea to let Jed stay in the air b&b. I’m sure Jed really appreciates that.

LOL you had to move. Was that a rooster?

Please get the sourdough starter back in store

Jed earns his keep and helps you out all the time…. I think he is a positive asset to be on the farm. Great and loving decision for your family.

We see you guys sitting in Aiunt Grannys. Didnt want to disturb your dinner. Merry Christmas.

@@StiversHomestead just didnt want to bother you guys. We sat a couple tables over. Did you see the train had another hic ip? It stopped running after 7:00pm run. Not sure what happened.

There's different seasons in our lives. Sounds like a great decision 😊

You guys are GREAT love your channel ❤️.

😊THANKS ! I DIDNT KNOW ur Family Story I Caught ur Channel Only 6mos ? Ago OH ☝️and Id just Showed My Sister Ur Shop while visiting HER🎉

I, so happy Jed is finally out of the basement

❤CONGRATULATIONS, JED!!!!!! ❤ I'm so happy for you!! I

❤Congrats Jed!! 😂😂can't believe we missed it again 😂😂 LOVE Y'ALL

Things change that’s life! What a blessing that you have the opportunity to share so Jed can enjoy the space and even though income might not be coming in the work of keeping the cottage ready for occupancy is also not there for now! Blessings 🙏💖😁

That's great!! If more families could live like this, it could help some families. You are blessed to have a family. You can do this in these times.😊😊😊😊❤ This is the Scriptural way.

Wasn’t too lengthy at all. No one has to watch the entire video, if they don’t really want to. I really want to. God bless the Stivers.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ see you next trip

U guys are so good,and such a beautiful family,GOD BLESS all of you 🙏🏼👍❤️🎄

Haven't watched u all in awhile but glad to see u all hope u all have a,great holiday 😊😊

I LITERALLY went to book a stay, today! I thought I was crazy cause I couldn't find it.

It's was a great decision

I know the feeling a few years ago my mom ask me and my husband to move in with her to help take care of the 5 acre property our kids were grown up and it started out great, But now mt bro ther is living here with his teenage Son ,He really doesn't help much and it makes it difficult on us . Praying to the Good lord on what to do I am under treatment for lung cancer and it makes it hard my husband works a full time job and is the only one who does work around here, my mother is 86 yrs old and she takes no authority to do something about this situation so what ever the good lord leads us is what we will do. Do not like being taken advantage of by family and that is what is happening. He is not a help at all. God will show us what to do. God bless you and your family

I love this for y'all!

🙏🏻🎄

I don't know why,I was always looking for jed,to build out a van or something, bc I watch his channel and see how he ventures out,but I love how you guys opened up your ABNB,to him,Zack you said the magic WORDS DON'T BE GREEDY" SHARE

Hey, good move! Family needs to take care of family, especially nowadays. My son and daughterinlaw are looking for a place now. Big enough to have their kids and me to have a place on the property too. Good thing to do! So having Jed in his place thete is a great idea! You have a great place!! Been watching since you guys were in the fitst place! Love watching your journey!

That's an awesome thing to do! ❤❤❤

What's Jeds videos called

You did the right decision for your family that’s what family does 🧡

Awww. I did want to come up. Its ok, i have a camper and can get a tent too.❤ family first

Great Idea to put jed in cottage. I like jed.

Good plan for all.

I believe that family is first. I think it is great that he is going to be staying in the house. A lived in house is a house that lives longer. This still builds family. That would be my dream… but I did not push to make it happen when I was younger.Merry Christmas!

I think this was a great decision, way to go!
