Was it my teasing you about the Bengals n Chiefs? Lol, I think it's your age. You're starting to understand what people really are, and it's not that pretty sometimes. I went through it and a lot of people do. I'm 65 now and much prefer my own company. I hate that you'll lose that YT revenue!

Hello, I'm sorry people can be so unbelievably cruel. I have not been around for the last year because my husband passed away. I lost a lot of my way between my husband and developing heart problems and finding a normal.path. it's been a rough year. Life is too short. Please focus on those of us who are here to watch and learn..I appreciate you. I'm getting into gardening again and I am 71,.😊

I miss the "Kentucky Song". I miss laughing in the front yard holding a leaky compost toilet. I miss your kids, who are adorable and well-rounded. I miss your gardening videos... But most of all, I miss you! Do what's best for your family. I hope you can continue KZread, as you are sorely missed! I don't participate in the other platforms. Take care, guys! 😀

Anybody who watched the senate hearings on social media through the years and most recently knows fb is a cesspool… but lets all pretend they aren’t one of the biggest purveyors of mind-numbing groupthink brainwashing out there. Lol.

I am one who watched for long time but stopped when it was about government /fear / etc.....also quit watching a couple other well known channels because that became the main topic on theirs also.........with that said it isn't ok for people to post personal negative comments and in our world it is so easy to do on social media.........Best wishes for your family

We miss the old Stivers Homestead. Things seemed to have changed with the move and quitting your job. Maybe you are more stressed out now trying to keep up. Totally understandable . I hope you both find your way. You seem like two good people going through life's ups and downs .

To the Stiver family, know that throughout the years, you have taught me many new skills. With much practice, trial and error, those skills are now serving my family well. I was a fledgling that now soars with confidence and success in homesteading and willingly try new things fearlessly. Thank you for that priceless gift.

I really enjoyed the long videos and I miss them. I don't do FB or IG, so I won't be able to support you there. I understand that YT can be very cruel, I heard another channel say you have to have thick skin. I'm very tender hearted and could never do YT because I would most likely cry everyday. Do what you must do for the safety of yourselves and your babies, that's what's most important, stay blessed ❤

​@@irony11 Same is true of KZread. My comments are frequently censored here. I'm tired of it. I feel like I have my own designated thought police and censorship team hovering in the background and deleting comments I leave. There are times when I can't even figure out why they deleted a comment. I've come to conclude someone behind the veil hates my point of view, and maybe even me, personally, and the feeling is mutual.

I’m sorry that you and your children and you experienced meanness on this platform. Maybe because I’m older, (70), and connected to farming and relationship before all this social media existed. But, I do think SM has eroded what real relationship means.

I agree. I sometimes think that we know too much of what other people think and believe, and that it might not match our own values and beliefs. I remember the days when politics and religion were tabu subjects in social situations. Now, through social media, we know exactly who someone votes for, what religion they observe (or don't) and how they feel about others. This has ruined friendships, torn families apart, and fostered distrust in our country.

Your thick skin comment really hit me in my viewers heart. I’ve lived that emotional wall and I hated who I became… not a content creator, but many years prior to YT. My heart broke for you both with that reality. As a YT viewer I found my life was so wrapped up in the videos and creators lives I had no time to live my own. I literally cut out of viewing and have had to recreate my own life again, mend my real life relationships! I’ve loved your channel for years as I have many others. I have to be more selective to allow time to do any viewing… and I want to follow you all! God bless you and it’s the YOU I fell in love with… you’re both so real.

Thank you for putting this out for us. Prayers for you all and so much love.

I miss seeing the long format videos on KZread. This is just my two cents so take it or leave it; your OG followers followed you on KZread and if anyone else is like me, I have FB and IG and that’s it. I come to KZread for those I followed on KZread. If I happen to see them on IG, great! But I don’t go to IG or FB (which I rarely ever use) looking for them, I come here. Great to see you both! Stay safe. Looking forward to seeing you again when you post here.

I love your account. So many people nowadays have no contact with people who live the way we were originally purposed to live. Like having a garden, canning, and caring for animals. Your account is a beautiful way to spend time with people who know the sorts of things that our grandparents knew. With so many broken families, grandparents knowledge has been lost. How to grow and preserve food etc. Your marriage is a good example to others. I am a JW and see a lot of broken lives and pain in my visits with my neighbors. I’m sorry people who are “ fierce, without love of goodness, not open to any agreement” have disturbed your peace. Your family didn’t deserve that. Y’all are a positive influence in a dark world. I’m glad you’re still here. You both are lovely people. I will look for you on FB. Thanks for teaching me how to bake the best zucchini bread EVER! ❤

I have been watching you for years. I am not on the other platforms. I despise facebook so that is not an option for me. Very sad that this happened. I loved watching the gardening, cooking, animals, family, pool time and all the fun craziness. God bess!

Love the chair broke during the breakdown talk 😂 Aww, that's EXACTLY what I miss about you all! Anyone else would edit that out. Wish you had a third party to monitor, edit, and help you out. Sounds like YT/ rhythms and bots...not real people. Hope we do see you in the future. Doesn't have to be an hour long. Glad you are ok though.

There are those of us who miss seeing you guys. Praying for you. Hope to see you guys again. Sorry for any craziness. Take care.❤

I haven’t seen any other homesteading channel say a word about you all, and I follow a lot! I’m so sorry that you’re feeling this sense of persecution (for lack of a better term)😔. I know a lot of content creators just shut those folks down … delete and block!! This is YOUR channel, and any naysayers can just bugger off! I will tell you one thing I really enjoyed and have missed … your weekly livestreams. They were so funny, and FUN. You’d talk about all the crazy stuff that had happened that week and everyone would be otfl!! Listen, I can’t pretend to know what y’all have been through, but I really believe if you just stop trying to change things up to please any and everyone - just DO YOU - things would balance out. Just my unsolicited two cents 🥴.

It’s good to see your faces 👏🏼 Just wanted to share some feedback not that it’s what you’re looking for, just my opinion. And I mean no harm, just an observation. I think you guys just lost focus. The first few years you shared information that was useful by being resourceful and living this lifestyle on such a small budget. So many people could relate to that, because let’s face it, we’re all struggling. I feel like when you guys started spending big money on toys and things that weren’t obtainable by your average viewers, some began to question things. Now I’m not saying you shouldn’t take vacations or buy yourself toys at all, because yall do deserve it. Again this is just my opinion, which doesn’t amount to a hill of beans lol But I feel like you lost touch with your audience. The second downfall as the constant push for the products. Which I get it, that is your income, your livelihood. But every video you guys posted was surrounded by products. Yes they’re amazing and yes that’s how you make your living but why did most people leave cable tv? commercials…. and the cost just wasn’t worth the return anymore. I and I think along with many others miss the regular content, the nothing special, learn something new today content.. I understand I don’t have my own channel so I cannot speak for what it’s like on the other side of the camera. But I really wish you would reconsider, just take a step back and get back to the basics. I hope this comes across as constructive criticism and not bashing, because I would love to see yall back on as a regular. Many blessings to yall and take care ❤️

How terrible for you and your family. It is hard to understand how people can be so sick. So many unhappy people in the world. Do what you need to do for your family. Stay strong, pray, laugh and love. We miss you but we all need to pay closer attention to our own lives. Thank you for all you have given me.❤

Just wanted to let you know that you are my favorite homesteaders!! I just bought an All American 941 and have been busy canning everything, lol😂 Take your time and don't worry about others!! You've got to take care of YOU before you can help others!! We love you all and look forward to seeing your content when YOU decide to post!! Now breathe! Just breathe! Family first!!

I enjoy you all. However honestly it seems like all homesteading channels I used to like to watch started selling stuff. It seemed like a lot of advertising.

Miss the canning, cooking, gardening and the animals. Seeing the love between you guys. You guys were the few that I watched the past few years. ❤

You’re my favorite channel. You are the most authentic. Thank you for sharing your life with us ❤

So so been there and finally pulling up and out of consumption. Pray the lord keeps opening your doors love peace and prosperity with abundant blessings

I'm glad to see y'all back , we love your videos especially your barn chats ... On another note I have COPD and Emphysema and diabetes and I started using your Mullien tincture and the Hibiscus flower tincture and it WORKS really well especially the Mullien....we ordered some more today so we appreciate y'all being here

We love y'all. I'm sad that y'all were treated and effected like that. Viewers forget that y'all are real people with real feelings! Been following along with all your other content. Sometimes ya just need a breath of fresh air

I'm so sorry you had to go through such a rough time. I as well as everyone else have really missed you both and the kids. Hoping everything starts being brighter for you. You are dearly loved ❤❤❤❤

**HUGS & PRAYERS** Love you All!

I had wondered what had happened to you guys. I am saddened to hear that the ugly side of this community treated you that way. I enjoyed that you guys stood out from the crowd. I am glad to see that you found your way back to a peaceful balance. That was always what seemed to make you shine so bright! I do hope to see more content from you sometime, but in the meantime...its just good to know that y'all are ok

I've missed the barn chats, but completely understand reasoning. Be safe, love y'all

I was there and Never heard Anything and then U were Gone. Wish U Guys Luck in ur Endeavors, and God Bless All of u, Bonjour!

Thanks for letting us know. I hope you can find your peace!!! I am so conscious of negative aspects of public life. Happy you are finding joy!

Variety is the spice of life and we are so sorry the haters cannot understand this. If we were all the same, it would be boring and we would miss opening up to and learning about other views and methods. Know most of us appreciate what you do and care for you and your family. i do not do FB, so will miss you. God bless you and your family!!

Love y'all and your wonderful family. You were one of first homesteaders I watched. And loved. God bless y'all. Be happy and stay safe. 😊

I missed you guys & your longer videos. I know you’re very busy, but know that you’re loved & missed.

Haven't been on any other social networks for over 3 years now. I just come on KZread for educational and entertainment reasons . Glad to see y'all back 🌻

You two are even openly sharing your wellbeing process in this explanation video…. To me that shows the core of your character & I am so happy to hear that you are all well & thriving. It’s beautiful. I will be glad for anytime y’all drop a video. I have been watching since 2018 & am genuinely excited for this next part of the journey. ✌️💕

Totally get it. Glad your doing fine.❤❤❤❤ You do you.

I am sorry to hear what you are going through. My guess is you are suffering from trauma by being hurt to the core. I understand that and will pray for you and your family to be restored to true peace and happiness. We live in a world now that has flipped upside down so keep that in mind. You are special and I hope you find joy.

You guys was my first homestead family I followed and you guys are the best.

Love your products and your information that goes along with it.🙏🏻❤️

I enjoy the long video's and don't use any of the other platforms...sorry, but the others are too much hands on. KZread is my go to to watch videos. I can multi-task while watching a long video. I watch and keep up with a lot of homesteaders and do the same with them. Keeping up with everyone on all the platforms is way too time consuming and hands on. My favorite videos are watching the jobs people do on their homestead, their interaction with their animals, building pens for the animals, how they garden and their successes and failures that I learn from. This is your channel and platforms and you can do what works for you and I have to do the same. Good luck to you.

We love you we always will and we are so glad to see you happy and relaxed!

You have a good point about getting hard or thick skin. I know that you don't have to be on a platform for that to happen to folks. But thank you for sharing and I am very happy for you healing and being able to make friends and have good relationships and friends ❤

Do what you Gotta do guys to keep your sanity and to be happy. Love you all.

I've watched your videos for years now. I don't often leave comments, but I have really enjoyed your videos, especially the stories. One of my favorite videos, is the one you two I believe were on vacation, and Zack had a battle with Jen's homemade wine and loss.😂😂😂. I've love seeing the respect you have for eachother and the love for the viewers. The fact that your different from other homesteading channels in my book is a plus. It's to bad technology hasn't advanced more in the editing field, so it would only take an hour or two, but sadly that is not the case!😢 stay safe! Love you guys!

Thanks I’m glad y’all are still here. You gave very informative information about taking care of our health and our animals that you just don’t get on other channels. Praying for y’all keep up the good work.❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏

Such a bummer. I’ve missed you guys and was wondering what was going on. I’m honestly surprised Facebook is a better choice for you guys. (I will not be on Facebook, I find it full of hate and one uppers.) I will continue following you and get your emails. Best of luck and kudos for doing what is right for you and your family.

I'm so sorry things turned out this way. God bless you and your lovely family. ❤

You have discovered what the younger generation has yet to discover. These younger generation has always had social media. The pandemic made it worse. These kids do not know how to deal with anything or anyone. They can not carry on a conversation face to face with another human being. They are angry. Social media is a great information tool, but it has really screwed with these kids head’s. I am 74 and anyone under the age of 50, I’m referring to “kids”. Good to hear from you all. Go live your lives accordingly!

Life changes, you have to do what is best for you and your family, enjoyed following you

I am so sad to hear of all the heartache you have been through. I have followed you for a very long time. I walked in with you at your very first Homesteaders of America conference. We had a good talk and I really enjoyed that. I don't do the other platforms, so unfortunately I will miss out. Take care of yourselves and remember: God first. Family second. The rest is much less important. God Bless! Carmen

Ive been checking daily for updates. Im so sorry, love you all and wish you the best. You are one of my favorites. God bless you.

Thankyou for youre time. I have followed you for some time (from Sweden) and I have learned so much from both if you. I do understand the reasoning for letting go for now. You need to do what is best for your family and you.

I am happy for you! I am a fan and I just realized I didn’t have my Facebook notifications set so that I could see all of your posts so I fixed it. ❤

I'm thankful y'all are alright. I was getting worried and I miss the 'barn talks'. Don't stress yourselves over us, y'all do what's best for you and those precious children.

I was just talking about yall about 2 hours ago, and bam. Here yall are. Good seeing yall.

For what it's worth ,I think you are wonderful and your videos have brought me such comfort in this chaotic world the last few years!!! I could never do what you did and starting a KZread channel and put myself out there to the world. So many are just waiting to pounce on you! Thank you for sharing your wisdom and for just being real. As Billy Joel sings, " I love you just the way you are." Do what's best for your family and never feel like you have to explain yourself. You owe us nothing. May God bless you and guide you in your future endeavors.😊

I can see that happening. I have watched so many homestead videos that have addressed the haters. I don’t think I could do it. Just know that we love you all and will miss you.

I’ve enjoyed watching your family for years, gardening and herbs. The world has gone nuts. Do what you need to do for your family. I for one hope you continue long form videos

Oooh I get it! And I'm so proud of you for doing what you need to do.

Sending you lots of love , hugs and keep being strong.💝💝

I can't imagine having a utube channel......people behind keyboards can be so not nice. I got off of facebook years ago because it was stealing all my joy. What a great decision that was!!!!! Also I have to mention I have the name Stivers in my ancestry! My great grandmothers maiden name was Stivers!!! Maybe we are related!!!! Anyway wishing you much peace and many blessings!!!!

I love that you're being aware and making the best choices for your family! Love y'all so much! I love how you're taking responsibility and figuring out what's right for you and doing it!

Hope your store is doing well! Keep on keeping on!

I just want to say thank you for inspiring me to use more natural remedies. I now use the Elderberry tincture. Also, Zach, you inspired me to use any container I have to grow something. We were already growing our own food, now we grow even more. I love your soaps and teas as well. I'll continue to see you on facebook.

Love you guys and so thankful for you and all you do to help any and everyone. God Bless you and your family and I'm glad you are doing what's best for your family! Will definitely miss your longer videos.

I really enjoyed watching your videos and appreciate you guys. I also fully understand how you feel now. Whatever happens I sure do wish ya'll the best and hope that things always go well for you.

I’m not always technical on these things- but you guys were one of my first channels I ever subscribed to. I love yall- and miss yall- and am definitely going to follow fb and try other platforms as well. I’ve always learned from You guys and loved watching you guys learn new things too!!
