That was scary! Glad you are ok Amy. Great job getting the truck out of the ditch. Praying your next trip is safe and uneventful. Right before the truck went into the ditch, there was a small animal that scurried down the hill and across the road. Any idea what that was? Val C ❤️🙏🏻

wow, you two sure know how to deal with the challenges. i was able to exhale when i saw that truck come out of the ditch. yay! and it was nice to see that kitty cat hanging with you. brrr. ya'all take care

Thank you for sharing - it's helpful and interesting for me to see the reality of your every-day driving in snow. Peace and blessing to you and your family.

I eat a half a dozen cloves a day.

A question…just because I have no clue and even though I’m 59 I have never been that close to a chicken that didn’t come from the grocery store. I’m wondering if your hen that was not the Cornish cross if that hen would have been typical of what chicken was back in say my grandparents era? Because I know I’ve had some chicken breasts that are almost as big as a small turkey’s breast and I just wonder if that’s not the best meat to be eating. Of course it’s from the grocery store and who knows what kind of chicken it was or how it was raised. Only because I live in downtown Toronto and can’t get anything better. I love the idea of moving to North Carolina and staying in one of your long term rentals and helping on your farm. My husband and I would never be able to buy a homestead of our own but we are hard workers and I do a lot of pressure canning and I have grown my own food with hydroponics. I have a Facebook page called armchairgardener (realized what an oxymoron title that was after starting it) but I had tons of luck growing food year round in nutrient rich water. My husband and I built a DIY continuous flow system, and it allowed me to grow more then 98 plants at one time and I did a lot of herbs and various kinds of lettuce. In totes I grew sweet pepper trees that were over eight feet tall and four feet wide. The peppers were unbelievable I was hand pollinating them and I also grew an enormous tomato plant that produced all kinds of tomatoes. I would love to come for a visit and to see what your farm is about and see if we would be a good fit. But again it would be something that we would have to see what’s possible. Cause I’m not getting any younger and my husband is a few years younger than me.

Happy New Year! The wood stove is a challenge for sure. Ma Ingalls made it look so easy lol! Enjoyed seeing the footage of your farm and countryside. Val C

That was a big batch and it looks beautiful. I usually add essential oils to mine. I need to make some. Val C

happy new year and happy beautiful everything to you darlings

thank you. this is wonderful. is there a way to purchase some of that syrup from you? there are no elderberries near me.

Very cool!!! We have tons of elderberry. Shannon and I will definitely be making this next year! Thank you for that!!!

awesone. you got the goods my friends. take care

Hi, I came over from Fit Farmer and subscribed. May God bless all your efforts helping these folks. I’m 74 and lost my mobile home I lived in for 26 years. Due to Bidonomics I lost my insurance, but I didn’t lose my whole community. I can’t imagine what they are going through. I pray when the new administration gets in they will send help.❤🙏🙏

Sending love and prayers from Ocala, FL.

If you just wanna have no music and just nature sounds is good with probably a lot of folks. I'm loving your talking videos showing what you're up to.

Hey! Just discovered y'all after watching someone's video. You're my kinda folks, being tv free 11 years, so glad you removed them from your rentals. What you're doing is like a dream to me. What gorgeous views, and your dog so loves you, cannot leave you, so sweeeeet.

that egg nog looks so easy to make. I watched a video long ago with 4 couples talking about the flood and that's how I found you guys.

what a delightful video. thank you darling folks for being real

Beautiful view you have there!

What a blessing that you were able to pull up most of the buried wire by hand. I like how you don't rush around. My husband installs wells and pump systems and occasionally has to find a break in the wire. He recommends putting shallow bury electrical wire in conduit to protect it from breakage whether it be from putting a fence post thru it (done that) or driving over it. Unfortunately it is costly, which is probably why the previous owner didn't do it. I really like your background music, it is very soothing.

What amazing donations! You are a great blessing to your community. Praying your garden and greenhouse flourish. Your animal compost should be a great addition. ❤️🙏 Val C

nice. wishing you all the best. i hope to be meeting you some day soon

I agree, what they’re doing is not right. Thank you for sharing and for what you are doing in your community. ❤️🙏🏻Val C

God bless you for all you do. I am on the east coast of north carolina and I claim this as my state even though I was not born here, but I wish there was more I could do. Thank you. Couldn't help but recognize the marine corps emblem on her shirt. Thank you for your service and also no from one military family to another much love. My family including my son, goes back many generations, serving the military and the great people of this country.

My question is what are they spraying???!!! So much we don't know and aren't told by our government!

The wind moved your camera. Lol. I just discovered you guys through watching The Fit Farmer. Now I'm binge watching your videos. It was quite interesting to watch your content before and after the flood. No one could have prepared for Helene. I appreciate your humble acceptance of being spared and applaud your service to your community. You both have such a quiet and peaceful demeanor about you. I believe I will try to make some Jun.

He sounds like what I have heard about goats. Mischievous trouble makers! 😖😆

His name was Jerk?!!😆

I came over from The Fit Farmer after watching his video when they were visiting with you guys. I clicked on this video after reading your description/bio to see what you guys were about even though I planned on subscribing to your channel. I love learning about other's and how they got started on their land/with their journey. I enjoy finding like minded couple's channels. We see that craziness in our Texas sky too. It's frustrating to see that going on in our sky. It does need to stop. It should not have ever started. My husband and I have purchased raw land that we plan to move to/live on to get out of the city.

Interesting!

Yummy!

Looks like it’s gonna be good!

Oh my,so strong wind!😯

Now I'm homesick ~ for a place that I called home for only a few days 🥹

Donations are not meant to fullfill only immediate needbut until people have recovered to at least where they were. Housing and employment and supply chain all fixed.

😮

We are so looking forward to raising meat birds next year. Great job guys!!! Thank you for inspiring us!

Love the videos. Thanks for the updates on the needs of WNC.

Sure wish I could purchase fresh eggs from you!

😂Been there!

Thanks for the update, yall. Regular pruning of my sweet potato vines and feeding that to the chooks or putting the greens in salads or soups, is a good source of food for us and it promotes larger sweet potatoes at harvest. Poor ground has been good ground for them to grow, as well, so I put slips out all over the place.
