    As soon as I saw you two girls together, tears immediately rolled down my cheeks. You two are my favorites. Guess seeing you together was just so wonderful. ❤️❤️

    It is always great to connect with other farmers, or homesteaders. But the greatest connection is meeting another brother and sister in Christ.

    Man. I love how your channel reminds me how so much can change in only 5 short years. It’s truly so life affirming for me ❤ thanks Jess. I know my story will be so much better in 5 years. God bless

    My great-grandparents would take me driving in the Fall as well. My great-grandmother always told me that the leaves changing in the Fall were God's coloring book, and now as a 40 year old grown woman, that is always my first thought when I see the changing leaves. Glad you got your pigs. They are so pretty.

    Oh my gosh! You two are the two homesteaders, or should I say 4 homesteaders, I watch all the time. So glad you got together. Both of you have great common sense and are wonderful teachers. I am not a homesteader and at 72 I will never be one, but I do some container vegetable gardening and have gotten tips on these 2 channels. Both of you make my online days happy. Thank you.

    Thanks for sharing this adventure with us. We really enjoyed it, we’ve been following Living Traditions Homestead for a while now but just subscribed to your channel a week or so ago and we really enjoy your videos as well. We started living the homesteading life in 2017 and love it, and we just started our TH-cam channel a month ago, it’s slowly growing (100 subscribers as of today) as we are learning more about creating, editing and sharing our videos. Looking forward to watching more of your videos and working together with all of our TH-cam families. Love those pigs, wouldn’t mind having a few of those myself. Glad you guys had a safe trip. 🙏🏻😇👍🏻 Pastor Lon Howle ( Harmony Acres Homestead) Hartsville South Carolina The Homesteading Pastor.

To see you two side-by-side is like seeing two of your favorite rock stars together on stage. Then to see that sweet family with all those furry pigs. I never knew pigs could be so fuzzy.

    That was a cool video, I also loved the one you had just done with Living Traditions when you visited their homestead on your way here to get your pigs at the Honeysuckle Farmhouse. They also look like a very lovely couple. There are so many great & sweet people on youtube, if they haven't started a channel I hope they do soon.

    Omgoodness those pigs are cute! I just got my 2 American guinea hogs back today from the butcher! I’m blown away....we ate pork chops tonight and they are soooo good and tender! I don’t make videos but I put one up today just to show quantity of meat and lard from these pigs. Can’t wait to see your journey with pigs.
