    I watch each and every video you post on your channel no matter the content. I have fallen in love with the whole family. I feel like one of the family and I anxiously await each new video ! I wish I lived closer to your farm so I could volunteer to do small chores with you. I am from East TN - I’m 73 and I lost my husband to cancer last year - watching your family’s trials and tribulations has kept me going. Love you all and look forward to the next video. I always keep everyone of you in my prayers.

      Angie, same here. I feel like I'm watching the Grandkids I'll likely never see. Millennials don't seem interested in having kids 😢.
      Justin and the " lovely one " brighten my days with my favorite Family 💕.
      After watching you, I learned about Permaculture; watched Joel, Jess and tons of others.
      I then sold my condo in Miami Beach in 2023 and moved to DeLand, Florida where I'm growing fruit trees and veggies and flowers for the first time in my life
      .
      Thank you for giving my 64 year old life, new meaning. Thank you for offering your Family as an example of a loving family leading honest happy lives, providing for yourselves through hard work.
      Keep moving forward 🎉
      Michele ❣️

    Wonderful video, having followed along sat an cried prayed each time Jonah had surgery. Feel so sad for the Beautiful Ones feeling defeated...she does such a great job keeping healthy foods for the family.
    The Amazing progress and change at the farm.
    An that house plan is out of this world! Rebecca's dream kitchen will come to life, so happy for her.
    Lillian horse is so beautiful as well.
    Henry is growing up! Mr. Brown working so hard with his brothers.
    However the most wonderful is Josiah, his low key disposition, thinking man of little spoken words has just blossomed. Stepping up caring for family, farm as well caring for the animals. Rhodes ENTERPRISES CEO, for sure.
    Rhodes Family may each an everyone of you have a Wonderful Christmas, a very blessed New Year!
    Can't wait to see all the wonderful things 2024 shall bring!
    Much Respect and Love

    The family Allstars for 2023 have to be Josiah and Gideon. When Jonah had his accident Josiah stepped up BIG TIME! Rarely being asked to do things as he was already doing them. This quiet, contemplative young man went from being a farm boy doing his chores, to quietly picking up all the slack. Gideon too went from playing and complaining less to helping, even at times he was never asked to. Gideon also kept his baby brother safe and entertained many times, also becoming a good example for him.

You guys really feel like my family. I lived in NC for most of my 55 years and now I’ve just over the VA line since 2015 near the Martinsville Speedway so I’m not that far away and everything there seems pretty relevant to my homestead. ❤

    Thank you Justin, you are a caring father and husband. I recommend watching "Sow the Land" and "Living Traditions Homestead" channels for their awesome care of animals. Lots of space to enjoy life and be very happy animals, a good reminder that animals have feelings too. Stressed animals will get sick and crowded animals will get in trouble. Nothing wrong to give the best life to animals before they are harvested. God has blessed you, to Him be given all the thanks for giving you health, and wealth to live the homestead life. We can all learn from others how to give the best care to our animals.

    I have moved so many times. After we moved to Liberty, we lived with my grandparents for 3 months. Then we moved from the house at Crosby to a house north of Liberty, 30 miles away, and then we traded houses with the family who bought that house a year later, then my parents bought a house closer to the school and I walked to the high school, and they lived there temporarily for 42 years before they died.

    Fantastic compilation! As a viewer who cares, can you please take a chainsaw class?? Some foresters offer classes on different cutting techniques and felling techniques according to various situations and this knowledge is LIFE SAVING. Watching you fell those two locusts in the woods, especially the second, caused my heart to go into my throat because of the danger. PLEASE enroll your boys and yourself in a class on proper felling techniques, y'all are too valuable to risk being hurt again. A back cut releases tension on a tree AND controls the direction it drops. This can be the difference between a successful harvest and a serious injury. Sincerely, a concerned viewer

They would look so handsome with someone who knows how to do them right!! I'm so badly wanting to send them a gift certificate or something so they can get them done properly! I was so disappointed for them when they had them done!!

    I am amazed at the way you are all handling Jonah’s challenges! Kudos to these doctors who put us back together at all ages!
    I have had multiple surgeries in my life, starting with double ankle surgery at 15, after developing crippling bone spurs. It was hard watching my 8 siblings going to summer camp without me, and wearing orthotic shoes while all my friends were wearing pretty ones.
    As a 66 year old I needed double shoulder replacements, and a hip replacement after a bout of Lyme disease. Before I was able to get the surgeries, (Covid delays), over 2 1/2 years. (If you had viewed what I had to do to get through a day it would have been quite comical.) 😁 it was not easy, but it built things into me that will serve me well the rest of my days!
    I can tell you, doctors and surgeons can help you regain a measure of physical flexibility… but the most important ingredient to Jonah’s future happiness and fulfillment is the mental, emotional and spiritual strength and flexibility you as parents are teaching him. Farm life done right just builds that into a person, and know that if you can’t give him perfect health, you are giving him that. ❤️🥰

    Normal A1C is between 3.8 and 5.6. You are smack dab in the middle of the normal range. I have no idea why a Dr would even say that you were pre-diabetic. Just had mine tested earlier this week, and mine is down to 5.6 and is at the high end of normal, but my Dr was thrilled with my results.

      You can be normal at a fasting level. This doctor is correct

    Trotters- add some of your veg from your beautiful garden. Onion, bell peppers, celery, chopped - whatever seasonings your condition allows, chicken broth. Cook in slow cooker until tender - up to 3 hours or more.

    TO KEEP CATS OUT of your beds, place sticks that are about 9" tall all over, around the edges use longer sticks, place them between plants as well. Once the plants are larger, cats seem to loose interrest as they are just looking for bare areas to do their business. Easy peasy! I have a feral cat colony so I am extremely qualified to answer the question. Lol

    Here in Santa Clara Valley in California, formerly known as 'the Valley of the Hearts Delight" because of the acres of orchards, no Silicon Valley, we don't have a "frost line" worry for our bare root trees. We worry about having enough chill hours. Last year had great chill hours so our apple crops did extremely well. Our stone fruit blossomed during the rampant winter storms last winter so those crops were pretty diminished, especially apricots. I'm surprised you are worried about frost line because the trees go dormant anyway. Today our Santa Clara Valley chapter of the California Rare Fruit Growers, is having a scion exchange so we can collect scions to produce Frankentrees in our backyard.
