I have been watching since early last year and never commented. Just want to say how much you inspire me in every video and yours is my favorite channel! Your daffodil message was for many, including me. My husband passed away a little over a year ago. He was a purple heart recipient and USMC Vietnam veteran. Much like Miah in the way he did things and the way he supported me. I am like you and feel all the feels. We were meant to be together and your videos bless me so much in watching the two of you, not to mention your beautiful family. Even though I am older, my son and grandson and I aspire to do on a small scale some of the things you are doing. I grew food in the backyard last year and this year...adding chickens. :)

Thank you so much for the service of your dear husband and the sacrifices I’m sure your family had to make as a whole. So glad your family and yourself continues to build on things you love to do. Best of luck!

Jess throws down some amazing wisdom at 11:04-11:32. "There's nothing wrong with not knowing. It's really good to ask about the things you don't know." Hearing that just made me feel so good. Thanks for always making your viewers feel welcome and encouraged!

"Why would you know that if no one has ever taught you that?" 🥺🥺🥺 Jess is actually the sweetest, most angelic person to grace this earth ❤️❤️❤️

I'm in 6b and y'all are 25° warmer than me this morning. Those baby goats are the sweetest. I just love watching the boys feeding them Blessings

You are such a gifted teacher! It is so fun to hear you chat through complex information in the most clear and seemingly simple ways. One of the most freeing things in the world is to realize that there is no reason for us to know the things we’ve never explored or experienced before- and that it is always ok to ASK. Thank you for all the things you share with us. Your wisdom is sown deep into families in ways you and your family will truly harvest for generations. Blessings!

"it's not great"...that face🤣🤣...I'm ROFL!! you're the best 💗

Golden hour is my favorite! Its such a relaxing time to take a walk in the garden and say goodnight to all the plants and animals while the tips of the trees are golden. I am longing for summertime

my partner narrates our dog's voice all the time! Itty bitty little shih tzu and he makes her sound like a grumpy old lady with a pack-a-day habit so she always sounds SO disgruntled with us lol

The kale as it’s starting to bolt is actually great, if you harvest it almost like broccoli rabe.

I’m sure you have heard this before. But watching your KZread channel has changed my life. I was first to just not care about waste, I had never really thought about gardening (we were always in an apartment or rental) but we purchased our first home last April, I found your channel this winter and we have HUGE plans for a garden as big as we can fit. We live in town so not a whole lot of land. But my husband also watches your channel if he’s home and he have so much inspiration to find our dream home with lots of land to raise a lot of our own food and animals. You have changed my outlook on life. So THANK YOU.

So I read this title and my nerdy brain immediately thought this was a Lord of the Rings quote 🤣 "Where does it keep its seeds, Precious?"

Jess! I love the view in this video, when you're just walking and showing YOUR view of the farm! It feels like I'm there walking with you!

You guys can grow anything & really show how to farm animals compassionately & grow things organic.

Goat kids wagging their tails is one of the cutest things ever.

I actually get excited when my kale starts bolting because the blossoms, especially when you get them early, are absolutely delicious!

Your kids feeding the kids was sweet. I appreciate the seed saving encouragement. The first time I let a garden go to seed, I learned so much about each veggie. Still have so much to learn.

Ben appears to have grown over night! The last couple of videos I have just been looking at him like... wow. My kiddo grew over night as well! These babies making me feel like time is passing by too fast.

I always write the script for the animals daily. It's my extrovert personality maybe being stuck home more has really pushed me over the top.

That is the cutest and sweetest thing...cute kids giving cute goat kids bottles🥰

Love Jeremiah's "Alabama Outdoors" tee. That store is only an hour from my home. Also love that y'all are "best friends" because that's what me and Linda, my wife are.

300 acres I grew up on. And a steel barn & grew all our hay & feed. I miss that

i have conversations for my animals too!! after you have them for a while you see their attitude or personality.

You are hilarious! I love how you just take a bite out of something you just pulled out of the ground!😀

Yes adding scripts to what the animals are doing. Humorous.

I should get in gear! Thanks for the reminder! I am in Zone 7B too. 😲🌱🌱🌱🌱

Ive been doing so much garden learning and planning that it doesn't even stop in my dreams. I wonder if other people are experiencing this? I say im crazy about gardening but my husband says im passionate.

I think that message was made for me ♥️. I think often watching your videos and dreaming of my future farm. God bless you and your family on this new journey!

Thank you again Jess for another fun Vlog, I love golden hour in the garden, have a blessed day 👩🏼‍🌾

Love these daily vlogs!

I remember my first year really gardening I was so astounded when my broccoli went to flower . I had no idea they did that 😅 & every year I am still amazed

Ben is adorable and soooo smart!!!

So late the your Video....We have hideous wind gusts today in Coastal Virginia. So glad it is not the storms spawning tornadoes. My garden is all in my shed right now. I did not think my plants would appreciate these 70 mph gusts. I truly love your goats. I think you are doing amazing work! Continuing to pray for you and the family!

I just found a hibiscus pod full of probably 100 seeds on an old plant I bought at end of season and forgot to plant. It had the most glorious flowers. I planted a couple and I’m excited to see if I get plants! I can’t wait to see your beautiful garden. I planted a whole bunch this year and now I need the honey to make some beds for me or I’ll have no where to plant all my babies. I bought your book and I’m really enjoying it and I just love your journey and zest for life and how sweet and passionate you are.

Your really good at talking to the camera.

Just love you to bits you are living my dreams.😇 cant stop watching your videos. I just put your channel on my Tv KZread and am glued to it.i watched videos over and over again. Your smile is amazing. would love to have a place to plant just about anything that grows.... just moved to a house from am apartment so hopefully I can get good seed to plant. Dont stop what you do.you are amazing 💞

Kale flower talks taste amazing when they are first forming they are like a broccoli rabe. Highly recommend eating the flower stalks!

All of my animals communicate with me nonverbally, to the point that I “hear” the dialogue in my head 😂 So yeah, you’re not alone with the animal dialogue and drama 🤣🤣🤣 It’s always fun hanging out at your farm Jess. Thanks!

Love the taste test before throwing the kale to your animals.

Regarding Adele loving her babies but not feeding them, a sheep producer (Sandi Brock) had a similar experience with one of her ewes. She ended up haltering and tying up the ewe, putting the lambs on her and blocking her from kicking the lambs off. I think over about four days or so the ewe progressed to letting them nurse without being tied up or haltered. Regardless of whether you try this or not, hope everything goes well with Adele and her kids.

@@colliecoform4854 I planted peas, carrots, cabbage, radishes, turnips, onions, strawberries and kale. After using up all the frost fabric I stopped. This is the most I have ever tried to grow, but it’s kept my mind off stresses. 6a here in NJ. Not planting frost tender plants until after May 17! We had a wicked freeze last year on that date. I already scheduled days off work just to garden 👍🏻

Oooh my goodness your pigs and geese are in the same area????lol geese are right jealous of the treat the piggies got ...those curly haired pigs are sooo darn addorable

Kale chips, Jess! That's what we do with our older, tougher ones! Yumm! :)

I had never really thought about why a plant tastes bitter after it starts to go to seed- fascinating, thank you!

“...it’s not great..” your face, 😝 😂 I love how you picked more and more to try and get some to the geese before the pigs took over. I narrate a dialogue with my animals too- though all of ours are indoor pets, so clearly, they are more talkative 😘

Jess, we are so excited to live just across the the sate line in Missouri from you!

Ur children are so lovely ❤️🙏🏻

Got your book today Jess great job love all the pictures of the farm and family!!!!

My friends that have never gardened were fascinated to see what broccoli looks like when you let it go to seed.

It is so amazing to see those sweet baby goats doing so well!

The Ducks were TOTALLY FUSSING AT THE PIGS!!!😂😂

You can take that tough kale and use it to make massaged kale salad. It is one of my favorite salads. Just take your salad dressing of choice and give your kale leaves once they are cleaned and destemmed and give them a good strong massage with the dressing until the kale color darkens. It tenderizes the leaves and gives them a really unique flavor. I love it.

Ben is getting so grown Hi Robert Jess you are amazing

Nature is simply mind boggling! How could anyone not know there is a Creator? Tomatoes be like "I gotta get my seed into the poop pile asap" 😅🍅 🌱

We did this with one of our goats when I was a kid. Her first baby she kicked away and the baby gave up, wouldn't even bottle feed. The next time she had babies she started to kick them away and my dad immediately tied her up, including the hind legs, until she calmed down while the babies were nursing and she was great afterwards. I think some first time mom's, including a mare I had, have really tender teets and push the babies away. Hope this helps! I follow all of your videos, great content, and I love how open and helpful you are with all of your gardening knowledge. Thank you!

I’m enjoying Goat school🐐

Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing your farm with us.💕☺️

If you plan ahead, put the compost into the area you’re gonna run the chickens in- let them scratch it up. Or you can put all your debris into one area of the chicken run and let them turn it. You’d need to find a way to move it out of there tho. Love having my chickens make my compost. (I do have a regular compost bin too)

Hi Jessica I just got your book today I’m so happy , I being enjoying for hours already can’t put it down . It’s so easy to read and understand it . Specially me with my add mind . Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge .

Just saw this... I was working in my garden!!

I ordered your book Tuesday and just got it in today...... I couldn’t help myself and read the entire thing in an afternoon! 🤦🏻‍♀️ I loved it, took notes and definitely will be reading it again!!!! ❤️

My kids and I totally animate our animal endeavors Lol! We simply crack up!

I've put my potatoes in grow bags in about 4 inches of potting mix. My plan is to add 4 inches of compost when their tops are about 4 inches. Then at the next sign of green fill the bags up with straw.

In Idaho we dig potatoes, russets, AFTER they freeze on purpose. It helps the skins toughen and keeps them from bruising.

I’m so excited you mentioned radish pods! I left a few of my daikon and red radishes to go to seed SPECIFICALLY for the pods. First time growing these and I cannot wait. They are about 5 feet tall right now with a bunch of small pods growing. Thanks for the information that kale makes pods too, because I have some purple kale and I wanted to save its’ seeds. I bless you too! ❤️

I’m looking at all your kale and thinking yummmmmm - kale chips!!

I love your animal scripts. I currently only have 🐈cats. We dialogue all the time. Cog Hill Farms Channel has a corner on the market. They not only name ALL of their animals they also assign them titles, like "Boss", "Sherriff", "Alarm Brigade". Keep up what you do. It's very entertaining. 👍🤟💕🙏

Hi robert nice to meet you 👍

I grew up on a farm & we canned everything & had venison too. It was really a ranch. And we had soo much meat. My dad was a butcher by trade.

The garlic in my pots are coming up am so excited !!

I ordered seeds plant food and a grow light 🤩😳 super excited ...so new ...only second year but last year I spent the money on seedling plants .. feel like I'm getting this gigantic exiting gift...

Late last summer I made a big batch of pesto from my basil and froze it in ice cube containers. It just doesn't taste good. Now I know that the basil had already begun flowering which caused it to taste bitter like. I won't make that same mistake this year. Thanks Jess!!
