- 5 years ago, I knew someday I would quit my job to work full time on the farm. Now that the decision has been made let's talk about HOW we will be able to lose a 6 figure a year salary. It may be easier than you think.

You may have mentioned this but I'm old and just don't remember. With your corporate job you had decent benefits -- What will you do for health insurance, dental etc. With a medical background I've seen families go belly up with one medical emergency.
Zach, I'm so proud of you for taking the leap. I took the leap at age 25 to start an industrial & home cleaning business. It's the scariest but BEST thing I have ever done. 20 plus years, and it's still going. There is nothing better than being your own boss. It's had its up and downs but so worth it all. Could not imagine working for someone at all. You both will do amazing things. I just know it. Much Love! Karen ❤️
That’s awesome Karen! Hopeful we will have a similar story 20 years from now
You open a parachute AFTER you jump! Having faith and knowing you're capable goes a long way!
My question to you is what are you doing for health insurance? It is so expensive to purchase.
I,m wondering if more accurate title would be quit to be a content creator
Giving up that good of a job would stress me beyond belief! Best of luck to you guys.
If it's not the roosters crowing, it's the cat howling 🤣. Pure wholesome entertainment from the Stivers Homestead. I'm loving all of your videos.
How do y’all work health insurance?
(ps - love your channel)
Also curious about that
Was also wondering-as a person knocking on the “Vintage” years…
Good question
Was definitely wondering the same thing…
Same here
I'm living on my dream homestead, paying a mortgage! I was renting prior to this. Rent was more then my mortgage!
So happy for you all. God is good 🙏
I guessed in December you were going to quit your job. What are you going to do for health insurance? Good luck and sounds like you have a great plan. Diane Hartley
I have all the faith in the world in Jen & Zach will do a great job!
Congrats Zach and Jen. I'm so stoked for you guys. May the path rise to meet your feet along this new journey.
Love that saying! ❤️
every time the rooster crowed and you ran the pic across the screen i lmao! funniest thing ever! more! more! with the other animals too!
I am so excited for you!
Great video as always- rooting for y’all
This is so exciting! Congrats!!
CONGRATULATIONS!! A true blessing for you and your family. Looking forward to your adventures. Sending love and light.
So happy for you guys!
Congrats good luck!!!!
Congratulations praying for you all 🙏🙏🙏
You're very thorough and makes sense!!
Y'all got this! Have faith in ya.
I wish you the best of luck on your next chapter in life!
Looking forward to seeing more of you all
Wishing y'all the best ❤️
Congratulations 🎊!!!
Congratulations on your decision. Bless you with great sucess. Love the videos.
Congratulations to you both. Best of the best ! God bless 🙏🏻
Enjoy your videos. Good luck you can do it!
So Awesome guys! Thanks for being such an inspiration.👍❤️👍
Great video!
Gonna have to get that dehydrator. Thanks !!
Congrats on your new beginnings 👍🤗❤
I’m rooting for you and Jen 100%! I hope you all succeed and your business is prosperous and gives you everything you’ve ever wanted, needed, and dreamed of. I love that you all are so family oriented and put family first. I’ve purchased from your guys Etsy store and Jen’s cookbook from Amazon. I like to support local, and small family businesses. Years ago Walmart put my dad out of business. He owned a sporting goods store. He couldn’t buy in the quantity that Walmart could which meant he couldn’t sell merchandise for the same price they did. So definitely keep your money local and in the small ma and pa businesses. Those corporations have enough money! Thank you for sharing this journey with us.
Zach and Jen Wishing you both the best in your new adventures. Can't wait to see all the videos
I'm really excited for y'all and behind you 100%❤ Faith over Fear!! 🙏
Really happy and excited for y’all.
Good on you guys, proud of you. Appreciate all the info you share. I continued my $20k/year job in order to farm lol.
I BELIEVE YOU GUYS WILL BE FINE🤷♀️❤️💯💯💯
I love this video….well said!!! God Got Yall Back!!!😊
You’ll killin bro! You’ve been through a lot and you just rising to fight another day. God bless.
congulations. i wish you and your family the best. info given is helpful.
Congratulations 🎉 It’s awesome when you get your hearts desire Gods Blessings.❤️
I'm gonna have to check your stuff out!
A great big CONGRATULATIONS!
Blessings, julie
I just want to wish you Good Luck. I will always be watching and liking your videos.
hugs from pam and john keep it coming on video
OMGoodness...I was cracking up when you were adding your roosters pic randomly as he crowed. So funny! OH...and Congratulations on your pulling the trigger on the life adventure!
Love your show. I would love to hear Jen talk more :)
Hope you are happy with your plans! Time will tell.
Best wishes! I will be looking to support you all in the ways I can! You two are an inspiration to many of those who want to live a simple lifestyle but with your hearts in the right place, faith, family and hard work! God bless and keep you! 🙏❤️😊
I am proud of you both...l from Kentucky too..
I am in corporate America and I'm envious, excited and grateful ya'll can go all in on your endeavors. Prayers for much success.
Great video. Good luck to you! I'll keep watching! If you don't mind, I'd love update videos about how it's working out. Are you growing as quickly as you hoped (maybe in 3 months or so)? What's been most effective, etc...
Lol Zac it was the greenhouse video that got me hooked! I have gone back in history some- and plan to watch more of the history - but I haven’t missed a video since the greenhouse video! Glad you are finally making the jump to live the full dream!
GREAT video. We’re a new channel that is seeing some decent growth. End goal, quit my full time job and go full on into the farm life. I appreciate you sharing your experience, what you thought through before making the decision, and what revenue sources are going to help make up for your losses. Even better that you are here in Kentucky! Thank you for posting this. Just subscribed!
Loving the content, thanks so much. In one of your last few videos you mentioned that Jen has this all mapped out on a white board. I was wonder if you or Jen could do a video on how she uses a white board? Thanks again
Good sound advice w/o the frills. It’s a big jump and teamwork is also key 👍. Great job 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Zach I’m praying for abundance of income for you and your family.
It’s all about marketing your products and business! It sounds like y’all have a great plan! May God bless everything you put your hands to! ❤
Jen and Zack you have your faith, make sure you keep it always.
Awesome! Mrs. Myers came to my house today via Amazon.
AMEN 🙏 So proud for your family. GOD will provide. I remember where you came from and all the hard work you have put in to be where you are today. GOD bless 🙏❤️
Zack and Jen...so proud of your decision to be with your family, Zack and Jen that you two make the decisions together. You are a great example for many of us. Blessings from San Diego.
I admire you for taking the leap!! I would love to see y'all put together a 3 month pantry book with recipes! For example my daughter has no clue what to do and then orders a pizza saying I just can't do it.
Yes!!! Jenn's stuff in the hardware store!
That rooster crowing each time you were talking was hilarious. I wish you and Jen the very best in your adventure and Zach I am sure it has been the best decision for the two of you.
That was funny, when the rooster kept crowing 🐓 he wanted everyone to hear him. Thank you for sharing how you and Jenn are making things happen so you all can be self employed. I am very happy for all of you. It is cool that you can make it happen with your family.♡♡♡
You all have quickly become one of my favorite channels. I'm praying for abundance for you all and to have great success in your new journey! I'd love for more people to be able to do this. This is the way life "should" be lived. It seems so much more "natural". Right now I am out of a job and I have this massive dream sitting in my heart. I hope and pray I can achieve that dream someday very very soon. I would love to be as brave as you all in my journey. Bless you all!
I’m very proud of you! I’ve been watching since you’ve had less than 600 followers here. Really enjoying watching your growth. I made that move years ago but my fiancé who I was with for 7 years worked a great job but we hoped he could quit too. Sadly he passed away last year and knocked me into full time farming without the security again in an instant. I’m making it work and I know You can do it too! I’ll be doing more videos again now too!
The first greatest thing you did was have Jed edit your videos 😂🤣. So proud of y’all! Praying God keeps you and prospers you more and more.
You are generous to explain all that, you’ve already been successful, so apparently you know how to do it.
I am so happy for you and your family. I love all your videos. I actually live my life through yall. I bought 13 acres in North Carolina with the plan to farm and have animals and a small garden. Well it seems my life partner was not on the same page and cares nothing about getting ahead or providing just enough food for us. I watch a lot of couples on youtube and they seem to work well together. I have tried and tried with no help from him. I am 57 and have been here for 10 years but can not seem to get ahead by my self. So today I put my place on the market for sale. I wish nothing but the best for you both and keep those videos coming so I can continue to dream, lol.
Love you STIVERS 🥰🥰💙💙
Jeds killing the edits 🤣🤣🤭🤭🙌🙌
I am so excited for you and Jen. You make a complete team. I have know for awhile,your heart is on the farm and living independently. Keep doing what you’re doing. Jen is GOLD in heart, and intelligence. Listen to her as much as she listens to you and you’ll make it bigger than the green sponge and bag lady. 🙏👍❤️
Frickin' T-Bird. 😂😂😂 Jed's editing for the win! Congratulations, again, on the break from corporate America. Y'all will make it just fine. I'm convinced of that.
Congratulations! Gary at walker family farm retired too!
So proud of You!
I just turned 56..I'm hoping I can full time gardening/animals in next couple of years.
Bread pudding..croutons..bread crumbs..
Hahaha Jed..love the rooster scrolling across screen!
I pray great successes for you and Jenn and your family.
I sure wish we would have done so much differently. We are under a great burden if debit. No we have now vehicle payments and we have paid off quite a bit; but this home and land we bought I don’t think was a smart decision-but we are here now and will try to make the best of it if it doesn’t kill us first!
God Bless
I've been pulling for yinz for a long time.
I just lost my job last week thru a layoff based on the mortgage industry being so slow.
It's scary and uncertain if we can do some self sufficient job ideas or if I need to find a regular work job again.
I appreciate you guys and the info and inspiration you give us.
Well I just wanted to let you guys know. I made the bagels it was so easy. Tytyty. Keep up the good work. I'll buy more when I get back to work
With God all things are possible ! Prayers for your great hope at becoming a successful business
You guys are BLESSED! Prayers that Hod continues to bless all that you put your hands to! Remember to keep God in the planning for He truly is the One that directs our steps! Proud of you guys!!
As I said before I'm really happy for you both... committing to each other and working together to live your dreams and best life takes a leap of faith... I know that you are on your life's path. Some who are contemplating doing something similar may be curious how you solved the health insurance issue. I know when I retired at 63 I didn't factor in the date of my retirement and the end of my Cobra insurance so I had to pay out of pocket for a few months until my 65th birthday. That wasn't the smartest thing I had ever done... 🤦.
Loving the editing Jed. Mad me laugh. Love this channel always have but you have added your touch to it. ❤
😂 made me laugh too.
Jed🤗s
Keep rocking it
Enjoyed the video
We still can your spaghetti sauce recipe….It’s delicious! Jen share your recipe for the zucchini bread please 🙏🏽 😂 Thanks Great Video!
Zach and Jen Congratulations on the move. Please send me the link to apply for Humana
Jed, love Tbird inserts😂😂
Thank you, I just discovered your channel today.
I'd love to learn how to do the social media thing and leave my job!
Please do videos on the ups and downs of trying to do the social media thing. Along with homesteading tips and profiting off that as well.
Also, how do you deal with the haters and stockers once you grow your channels? Protection is key!
Look up NuLove goatsmilk products. They started at a tiny farmer's market in Comfort Texas!
We are ROOTING for YOU!
Wishing you the best. That is a scary decision.
I hope it works out for you. We are 20 years older than you are and wish we'd started our channel sooner.
You'll be happier and bet you could save some of that 6 figure previous income. I left the medical field after 20 years and was self employed for 12 years, sold my business and now enjoying farming. Best leap of faith I ever took! All the best to you and Jenn! Be happy and remember it's not how much you make it's how much you keep and what you do with it. Enjoy the journey!
