I'm probably never going to homestead. The knowledge I glean from your videos Justin are transferable to other aspects of my life. I watch you because I enjoy the way you and Rebecca and the kids too, tell the story of your experience. I am a crippled great gramma living on a beach in Mexico. Life is good and usually feels even better after I watch your show
Jonah did such a great job, and he should feel great! You should be so proud of him for his tenacity, taking initiative , and fully completing his project!
Sweet, precious Josiah! What a good attitude he has, and he always seems to be such a kind helper with little Henry. My second born son was always that way growing up, too.
Oh just wait, Rebecca and Justin! I had three very creative sons who made all sorts of things during their childhood. My favorite thing they made was a trebuchet to throw pumpkins and watermelons! Children are so clever! Keep encouraging their problem solving and creativity.
today i harvested from my own little suburban yard. my backyard grocery store... eggs, bananas, chard, collards, mint, green onions, parsley, basil... yep ! zone 9B is in full swing.. i sowed seeds last week.. and some are popping already... so thankful
I'm from Bangladesh. I'm 22 years old. These days i'm thinking about homesteading a lot, thanks to you. You inspire me lot. Currently we live in a city but I hope one day I can move to country side and homestead like you. Every time when i see your video I want to do it even more and more, like now 😅😅. Hopefully one day I will. God bless you and your family 😊😊.
That Jonah is a smart young man. And looks like Josiah is falling in his foot steps. Love watching all the kids. And we'd like to see Rebekah's recipe for gluten free biscuits. My wife has allergies to wheat. She could add it to her channel. We're still subscribed to it also. Love you guys take care.
Justin, please watch your little back buddies head....he gets whipped around pretty good. :^) Thank you for everything you are teaching us. We really appreciate it. And yes, we appreciate your honesty.
That's awesome! It's a day in a life of a homesteader, nothing it's always smooth sailing, things do happen so we have roll with them. This kids of yours are amazing! Great job you guys!🤗💜🤗
Cool Justin! This was a great video of how you make things happen for us that have Abundance+. I hope you aren't embarassed anymore about things going "wrong" on the farm because like you said it happens to all of us. I love that the learning curve was short in that all you had to do was bring out the alfalfa. We learned that lesson when our pigs got out. Just use food to get them back inside instead of running after them, that never works. You should have seen use trying to corral the ducklings that got loose on us once. That bike that Jonah made was awesome! Rebekah was cooking up a storm. It all looked delicious! Those people from UScreen all were friendly and seemed very down to earth. Thanks for this Rhodes family!
Thats how I started.. I build stuff that i want because we don't have enough money to buy toys so I make my own toy and I really enjoyed it.. Now 21 years old studying Mechanical Engineering and 2 year more to go. Jonah and Josiah's Idea about building go cart and e bike can make a difference to their future.
I think it's valuable for you to film/vlog the "mistakes. That way we can see it and watch what you do about it. I don't farm. I'm a suburban house wife...but someday I might have some chickens. And I'm learning from watching you all. So thank you. I would never have known you felt embarrassed about the animals getting out. You all seem so calm and cool about it.
Thinking about the cattle panel. Can always be replaced,but There is always a cause an effect to everything we do from the simple to the very difficult. People need to not only have a good idea but to weigh the cost of promoting your idea.
I’m so happy for you and your family. This is something I will continue to support and has so much value I’m my life and mindset. You all motivate me and make me want to do better. I love the Abundance + community. Thank you for all your heart felt efforts in sharing and teaching. You are such an inspiration for so many.
You have such a great family. I love watching Lilly skipping along and Mothering the lamb. The children are thriving with good work, good love, good food and lots of laughs. I'm so happy you parents both seem to be feeling good. I call my time spent watching you all as "checking on my family in N.C." Thanks for sharing this time with your followers. My picture is of my recently deceased husband.
My deepest condolences on the passing of your beloved husband. Lost mine back in Jan2008. He was a real treasure. All his older family passed within a year or two, parents, aunt, uncle and families. Blessed I have his brothers and families to keep in touch with. Prayers for healing, comfort and strength to you and yours. God bless.
I really enjoyed watching how that day on the farm changed the CEO from Maryland's life. His whole demeanor softened and now he's starting a farm!!! adorbs :)
Those were two brave young men to just come onto your property and start corralling big cows with horns!!! Justin, I love your family, you are soooo real! We love you too " Uncle Justin"!
what you should have said to jonah when he cut the cattle panel was great job but next time try to save the big material and use up small stuff if you can. he cant learn if you dont tell him
Agreed he's way smart did you see the video where they were building the pole barn and he got the ladder to get up to the bucket. Yep that boy's got it going on good job little man!!! Good job to the parents too!!!
Great show as usual Justin. I'm probably never going to fully Homestead either, as I read another commenter say that, however, I am planning on some horse trough type of gardening, this spring/summer, I'm extremely excited about it. Thanks for everything you've taught me in watching these videos. Blessings Laurel 👍😁
Justin I'm looking for some advice. After suffering from crazy symptoms for almost a year, I've gotten the diagnosis of Lyme disease. It has affected my ankles and hands. I'm a nurse and really am having a hard time wrapping my brain around this. Thank you and Rebbeca for sharing your lives. The good, bad, happy and sad times. Much love from La ( Lower Alabama)
I burst out laughing when you called the cow (Flossie?) "Babe". That was very cute. Thank you for the morning laugh. I think your vacation was great for you and the kids. You all seem refreshed! I'm glad you were able to take that time.
The electric bike is awesome! Great build and very excited to see how the remaining go-cart develops or adjusts. We have a "please don't look" porch and chase cattle, equine, and poultry/fowl at our homestead too 😉 hugs!
Jonah, is so much like me. When I was 14 or 15 I converted a riding lawn mower in to a little gocart type thing. I'm now 18 and still enjoy those kind of things, but I like carpentry, stick, and post framing better. Not to give him any bad ideas, but I would encourage him to start messing around with a small engine if he hasn't already. It's good to know how they work, and it's so fun! Tell Jonah I would love to meet him someday! Have a great weekend!! God bless!!
@@HollerGramma Thank you so much. It's hard to find suport for a young man these days trying to serve the Lord. Thanks again to you and Uncle Justin's for being another good example for me to learn from!! Have a great weekend! God bless!!
We all get embarrassed when our animals don’t behave. Mine ran out of the gates over into the neighbors yard and decided to feast on their lawn and newly planted flower pots. It happens. Then we do better. I have learned so much from you. I thank you so much!
You are so funny, talking about being embarrassed, made me laugh. I was thinking as I was watching that you are all doing well, health wise, what a blessing. You've come a long way, and continue to share what you are doing and learning with such enthusiasm, because it's the way to be! Blessings from Ontario Canada
I’m really excited to see the show! Your kids are so impressive! First the go cart now the bike! Pretty sure Jonah could run circles around me in the shop 😂
I love gleaning how to be a more supportive parent from your videos. I know I would have said something about the cattle panel. I love that you didn’t. That taught me a lot.

@@Vicki_C.123 Arun Kumar was working at the farm and lived on the beautiful small family house, the original one, with his wife and child. I found out he is in India for 3 months now. He has a ytb channel. Seems he left not on good terms and that's sad. He's coming back to North Carolina but not to the farm. Someone commented that it was sad how he left without a fairwell from the Rhodes or acknowledgement of his help and departure. He cooked once a week Asian food in the Rhodes home and when they had guests. They seemed close. I believe Justin's dad liked Arun a lot. No idea what happened... He seems happy and enjoying family times in India. Hope when he comes back he finds a place and a fulfilling occupation.
What a thrilling vlog! Nothing like getting a group of visionaries (including Josiah & Jonah) together! I’m looking forward to the podcasts. I also adore seeing Rebecca feeling so good-she’s an inspiration! I reside in a 55+ community downtown Lancaster, PA. I’m currently growing microgreens and wheatgrass inside my loft apartment. And making a ton of bone broth weekly to share w/neighbors. A version for dogs. And a version for their humans.

Thanks for all of the excellent opportunities to learn! I truly believe food is medicine. 🌱🐷🐝🐓🦃🐄
Okay... Animals get out. Plan on it. My husband was a "country pastor". You haven't lived until you have a neighbor call the church to say, "pastor, your cows are out and running down the road". Believe it out not, we MISS those days. My husband is 79 and would love to be back on the farm. We both enjoy watching your family activities and the kids growing up. Glad you have a successful homestead. 🤗
I will never homestead. I'm 67, unable to walk very far and live in a retirement village, by the sea, in New South Wales, Australia.... My parents retired at around mid 50's to a farm and became farmers for 20 yrs, then retired to live by the sea... I was a Registered Nurse. I grew back yard veggies with my boys. We did pretty well but it was fun growing, not serious. I do lettuce, tomatoes, etc in coffee tins, a little fresh produce.... What you and your family have achieved is news worth. You combine homesteading, child raising and education, together. Not an easy task, however your family are successful, healthy and happy.. You are showing a diverse audience how to do farming, with integrity and love. Thank you for all you all do for us, your avid watchers.....Bless.......
Thank you Justin I'm really happy that you mentioned that we are all people i know y'all thought non homesteaders thought you were crazy not so we love what you guys do ..someone has to buy organic foods...lol if everyone was a actor there wouldn't be an Audience.... We all can't be homesteaders... But you make us all want to be homesteaders.
I have to say as you talk about failures!! I appreciate it, because I am sooo not perfect, but one day I needed a laugh and you had a calf with its head in a bucket, it gave me a great belly laugh I very much needed and enjoyed! So thank you for being imperfect and working through the pain as I limped my way through my day after my sciatic nerve dropped my leg out from under me and I twisted my knee, so I appreciate the tough imperfect side.
I learned long ago, when you have animals they are going to get out, the problem is they can always tell when it is "inconvenient" when you have an appointment and are short on time EVERYTHING goes wrong. If you are dressed up to go out I can guarantee that one of the animals will get hurt that calls for a call to the vet and copious amounts of either blood or feces' all over your "good" clothes. That is LIFE especially if you CHOOSE to live this lifestyle. You can get embarrassed, you can get angry or you can just accept it. Accepting it causes much less stress and upset and much more joy and laughter in life.

@@HollerGramma - Saw you on camera, washing dishes, and you look great. I hope the new knees are working out. One day, maybe, I'll get up there to visit you and Bruce. Ya'll have a fan in me. :-)
I love all your videos and I just want to say that Yh showing what happens on your farm the great and the challenges are what make this so great as you videos are so real and you get a better look at a farm life then most tv shows as it’s not easy but so rewarding. Animals are soooo unpredictable it would be amazing to know what there thinking haha x Love your channel and your amazing family I dream of having a farm one day
Awesome that the boys are allowed/encouraged to build and experiment! Re. lamb... NOBODY KNOWS HOW TO PREPARE LAMB!!!! I remember when I was about 5 or 6 and Dad bought lambchops and Mom fried them up like you would a pork chop. (Seemed reasonable. Right?) I remember TRYING MY BEST to force it down and Dad broke the silence. He told us to get ready to go to town. We went to a diner and had hamburgers. LOL Dad fed the lamb to the dogs. They both petted on me for not complaining and trying to eat it even though the face I was making was COMICAL. Mom told me about 10 years ago that she so wished she had a video camera to capture that moment. Sounds like a video series for The Beautiful Life.. HINT!!! HINT!!!

You pronounced Iran correctly,👏🏻👏🏻. Most people pronounce it “I Ran” but it is “E Ron” with a light flip of the tip of your tongue.
Where can you watch rooted
I love all your videos and I just want to say that Yh showing what happens on your farm the great and the challenges are what make this so great as you videos are so real and you get a better look at a farm life then most tv shows as it’s not easy but so rewarding. Animals are soooo unpredictable it would be amazing to know what there thinking haha x
Love your channel and your amazing family
I dream of having a farm one day
I need specs on that electric bike.... thats genius lvl.
I'd love to see how he did it and where he got the parts because I want to build one too!
Right
Don't be embarrassed, animals have a mind of their own.
Awesome that the boys are allowed/encouraged to build and experiment! Re. lamb... NOBODY KNOWS HOW TO PREPARE LAMB!!!! I remember when I was about 5 or 6 and Dad bought lambchops and Mom fried them up like you would a pork chop. (Seemed reasonable. Right?) I remember TRYING MY BEST to force it down and Dad broke the silence. He told us to get ready to go to town. We went to a diner and had hamburgers. LOL Dad fed the lamb to the dogs. They both petted on me for not complaining and trying to eat it even though the face I was making was COMICAL. Mom told me about 10 years ago that she so wished she had a video camera to capture that moment. Sounds like a video series for The Beautiful Life.. HINT!!! HINT!!!
WHAT'S THE BISCUIT RECIPE!!!! LOL GREAT JOB...
