I would love to know where you are. I am in south central Kentucky near Lake Cumberland and preparing to do a Shed to House and I am looking for land to lease to put it on. I grow a lot of the food I eat already. I have a lot of seeds saved as well.
My family has been homesteading in ky for 6 years. We’ve decide to move to South Georgia northern Florida zone 9b. We just find that 4 months of not being able to grow food too cost prohibitive. Also,we don’t want our kids and us to be inside for months each year. So we’re starting to look for some land near the fl Georgia border. We’re really excited to be able to grow citrus, Avocados etc. so much more flexibility
We plan on building a green house to help with growing. The summers are hot and long and find sometimes you have to stay in just to stay cool. Some summers are really terrible.
New subscriber here! I am making the same transition. I live in East Kentucky in a small town on the Ohio river. Thankfully my current home and car are paid off. I moved here from Colorado in 2016 because of the lower price of living. I am looking for a place in the country to get started. I may have found one hopefully and my kids are going to move out here to help make it happen.
Great job being debt free. That's the first step to freedom! If I were in your shoes, I would build a root cellar next. Your canned goods need to be in a climate controlled room. Root cellars are inexpensive and don't have to have electricity. If not, insulate the shed and add heating/cooling. You have a lot of rust on those lids and need to use things up before the seals break. I do have a few jars of older things but try to preserve 2 yrs worth and rotate some crops every other yr or just grow enough for fresh eating in the off year. It saves time canning.
I was talking to my husband about doing the root cellar when we clear the area we intend on building the house. We have to rent the machine and we go ahead and dig the area we want to put it.
We’re in the similar position, just bought a 70 acre farm in Elliott county debt free. Working my tail off in another state to pay for a house over the next year or two. Best of luck to you!
They are making it harder and harder for people that won’t to live this way. They want people to stay in debt but won’t help when people lose everything.
You are my soul sister! I am a nurse practitioner who decided to retire early when Covid hit. We have 2 1/2 acres and I am slowly learning how to farm. I really enjoy the process and look forward to following along with your journey.
Lots of KY folks on here, and glad to hear others moving here to do the same. We just bought 4.5 acres. 12 acres… I’m jealous. We got our barn built and planted our first fruit trees and bushes to get started. Check us out on YT if you like. 🙂
Me and my little family will be homesteading in Eastern Kentucky...he is born and raised there, I'm from Kansas...trying to find the right property or owner financing home has been tough... God bless yall! 🙌 #KentuckyForLife ❤✝️
Thank you for watching. Kentucky is a beautiful place. We also struggled finding property with owner financing that we could afford. We came across this property but was raw land. I’m sure during this time it’s much harder. I hope you are able to find what you are looking for. It differently is worth it.
With the cost of lumber using your own lumber seems like the best way to go. Looking into renting mobile sawmills when you have lots of logs to cut up. You should be able to store a lot of lumber over time slow letting it dry. Slow and steady and smart!!!!
Thank you for Watching. That is a great idea. We have talked about buying the mobile sawmill. There are some really large trees on the property and would help a lot with cost.
I love the sincerity of your message and your video - and have been contemplating homesteading myself. Moreover, I am curious to know what criteria you and your husband decided upon when it came to selecting your particular parcel of land - and also, why you chose the state of Kentucky? Perhaps this might make a good follow-up video. Thanks (new subscriber) !
Thank you for watching. I have a friend that lives in Kentucky and that’s why we decided to look in Kentucky. Being from Conway SC only miles from Myrtle Beach I wanted country.
Man my wife and I is in my uncle and Aunt are in the market now to buy a hundred acres in Kentucky to homestead by next year we hope to have our property and start building our off grid homestead can't wait
Just bought land in Kentucky and did owner financing too. My cabin will be delivered in about four weeks and I will be there full time then. I'm excited.
New Viewer!! I also live in Kentucky. We are in Bourbon County so only about an hour away from Lewis County!! Good Luck on your new adventure! WELCOME TO KENTUCKY
Just found your channel. We.are heading to the danville area again this year for 2 weeks to look around and find our new home. We enjoy central New Mexico but it is time for water , green and a joel salatin model of agriculture.
Wow, what a great success story! In the beginning as you spoke about financing your property and financing the trailer and all of that I was thinking, oh no, bad idea. That’s because it takes real, true, dedication to do what you’ve done! So you have a lot to be proud of and your family can benefit for generations. I’d like to add some thing that may be controversial, but I believe in the long run it will help you a great deal. Please forgive me if this is not acceptable. In your story you talked about looking for a piece of property. You looked for a piece of property here and you looked for a piece of property there. Then you found a piece of property in Kentucky. What I’m proposing is you drop the word piece. You did not buy a piece of property, you bought the whole property and it’s yours! There is no other piece that you didn’t get. Words are powerful, accept in your heart that what you’ve done is powerful as well. Best wishes
You are a rockstar in your story. I hope everyone can see it and learn from YOU that when you want something, you set your mind to it and you make sacrifices to achieve your dreams! I’m just amazed at your accomplishments. My story has many similarities and understanding the struggle. I now have land near the great Ohio River. You have to keep your eye on the goal and preserve, and that’s what you’ve done! We all can learn from each other, some might learn bad habits, while others learn that you set a goal and work towards that goal, never giving up! Your story just touched my heart. You are a great example for your entire family.

Where at in Kentucky are you, I live in Kentucky as well and would love to come visit and help you guys some time. I would love to go off the grid and live off the land.
Thank you so much. We live close to Maysville KY. Once we get more established to have guest in the future we wouldn’t love to have help. We are hoping in the next couple of years we will be here full time.
Good for yall! My wife and I are in the process of moving to Kentucky. In the saving process now to buy the property, and hoping we can sell our house and come out on top of it. Glad other like minded people are getting out of the city and turning toward simpler times!
Thank you for sharing your story! It’s so awesome that you are debt free! We are looking for property in Kentucky and hoping to connect with other folks there that homestead. I look forward to watching more of your journey. Subscribed! 😊
I like the 4 seasons. I was born and raided 18 miles from Myrtle Beach and it’s so hot. SC is growing so rapidly and KY is such a beautiful area with smaller towns and less regulations .
@@NewStartHomestead Kentucky is quickly sounding like a great place to Homestead. How is the states view of homeschooling? Also, how is local gov’s view of homesteading, do they leave you alone? God bless you
@@titanart6225 no problems with homeschooling. Just have to make the district aware and we have no problem with homesteading. Depends on what areas you live in but where we are we can build what we won’t without permits. Taxes are cheap. We love it here.
Thank you for watching. Our market is located close to Myrtle Beach SC. I was born here but it’s growing so much and that’s why we bought our property in KY. Hope one day I can have a market in KY . Until then we come back to work for 6 months.
I promised my late husband I would buy property for our children to homestead on!!! Yay I did it! And learning so much....
Thank you for watching! I think that is great. We can all learn together.
That is cool congrats

This really hit home with us. Were looking for offgrid property in KY and just now getting into the thick of it! ❤
It’s challenging and you will have your ups and downs but in the end it will be worth it! Hope you find your forever home!

Thank you so much. It definitely is hard but will be worth it in the end. Best luck to you as well!
What part of Kentucky are ya'll? We're selling out in SC/are looking for property for home steading.
Northeastern part. We are on the Ohio river. It’s a beautiful state.
Which county? I had my eyes on a piece in Breathitt and got con into Missouri. Now selling and planning for Kentucky. (Retired Military)
We are in Lewis County. Kentucky is a beautiful state.
What you're talking about is the real American dream that's slowly me and taking away from people
They are making it harder and harder for people that won’t to live this way. They want people to stay in debt but won’t help when people lose everything.

Thank you for watching! This is a dream I’ve had for a very long time.
Welcome to KY! First off let's hear the debt free scream!! Congratulations! We have a 12 acre homestead in central KY.
Thank you for watching and it’s the best feeling to have that stress off my plate. Kentucky is a beautiful place.

Respect your dedication to pay the loan off. How did you like the area so far?
I love the area. It’s small and mostly farms.
Hey this is Trey from RK I got your tractor.. T-Rex outdoors
Cool
Sold my home in Arizona and used the equity to purchase a home on a lake in Kentucky, it’s the best thing I ever did.

Thank you for helping others

We love KY. We travel back to SC to run our market for 5 months and the rest of the time is in KY. I can’t wait for the day I can be there full time.
Impressive accomplishments.
Hard work but we were determined to make it. Thank you for watching!
Amen sister congratulations
