We are currently boondocking it in a fifth wheel in the middle of the woods. It's not our land, but it's a step in the right direction. We've been here for 1.5 years, trying desperately to scrape money together to buy property. This is our second year gardening, I am doing a garden share at two different locations and learning tons about what choices we will want to make when we do get onto our own land. Just trying anything we can do get to the next step. Thank you so much for this video! I really appreciate it.
You are so very welcome Danielle, THANK YOU for watching and for your wonderful comments! 😁😁
Hey Danielle! We just bought 40 acres in East Texas 3 months ago... to help you out by giving real world examples, we had to come out of pocket 22 thousand dollars for this 40 raw acres. There is no home at all on it, never has been, its RAW land but has electricity to a pole and meter... that's it lol. But yeah, 22K down on 40 acres with no structures on it.. if it had a house, it would have been quite a bit more to Close.. insurance, mortgage stuff for the house, taxes would've been higher.. right now, its 48 bucks a year taxs on this raw land 🤣 WE'RE LOVIN' IT!!
We're 5th wheeling it too but with a teen girl! We're at a park for $550/mo while we are looking for land as I need internet for work & teen in HS (for now). Currently, i just have a potted mini garden, but started practicing in the yard of the house we recently sold.
@@royaltm3420 I work in I.T. myself, and since the panny i only accept work that's fully Remote (since its never mattered where I sit.. I've always helped people who mostly were not in the same building or state or even country I am in) So, it DID take a year on a waiting list, but I had to get Starlink internet. We ordered it before we even sold our original Suburban Homestead to go find our new land. It would seem that its my only real option anyway, but I've been using it for work for over 9 months and its worked great the whole time, even with THREE Teen and young adult gamers all doing their thing at the same time. I can still remote control a computer in South Korea while chatting them on a Teams call and don't have issues too much.
Hope you find what you're looking for! We did, but it took awhile and it didn't look how we envisioned exactly either... gotta be open minded. Ours turned out better than we hoped, here's to hoping you have the same luck!
@@suburbangardenpermaculture3117 That's good to know. I will look into that! Thank you! 😊
Thank you so much!! This is just the video I needed. Building a homestead seems much more feasible now, just need to get the snowball rolling
Thank you so much for such an informational vlog.
Wow, can’t thank you enough for putting together this video. This was such an encouragement!!!
Thank you Estephany!!! If you could, please help us share this video on your social media platforms. Especially if you’re in any FB groups. We want to help as many people as we can!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Great video. I have been wanting to get land and homestead but really didn’t have any idea of what to do or how to do it even though I’ve tried to research in my little spare time. I’m still wasn’t sure where to start first, period. I needed this video.
Oh wow THANK YOU Justine!!!
Hey, if you wouldn’t mind helping us out could you share this on your other social media platforms? It would be a HUGE help!!
Yes! This video gave me some much needed basic information! He breaks it down into easily digestable steps. I'm so thankful for this!
Excellent content! Great job.
Thank you so much Nate!

Thank you again!!
You gays are a miracle and definitely give me hope great hope and insight. I’m done with this high stress living and I’m an 8 year veteran with high stress and depression from all Ive endured as an active service member. Me and my partner plan to make this move within the next year or two because we think this would be good for our souls and we just want to spend more time together doing things that matter. Both have tragic loss in our lives so time is valuable. What’s a better way to get to our roots and live a more happier, healthier and debt free lifestyle. Thanks for the channel.
thank you for sharing your tips excited to get started
Thank you for the feedback.😊
You are very welcome!
Fantastic video!! (Laura)
THANK YOU LAURA!!!
Oh, if y’all wouldn’t mind, could you share it on any homesteading groups that you are members of?
This video is a little lower viewed, but we would love to help as many people see it. And we get banned from sharing on Facebook too often. Haha
Great information. Thank you very much! 🙏
Thank you so much! If you could, would you mind sharing this video on your other social platforms!
We really just want to help as many people return to the land as possible!
Absolutely, we would be happy to. 🙏
I'm not sure WHAT steps we are on lol... we already Figured Out we NEED to Homestead, we've SOLD the Suburban Garden Homestead, we've BEEN in a rental for a year, and we HAVE purchased 40 acres of East Texas Timberland 😀, and we HAVE found an old doublewide mobile home FOR FREE, and we HAVE started renovating it (our current videos)... we have paid and the city has laid Water Lines... we have Electricity but not to the trailer, and we got LAND FOR DAYS!! 🤣
IT'S SO FREAKING AWESOME OUT HERE!!!
Thanks guys!!!
Good idea. Basics could differ for every one's needs. I grew up on a fruit and vegi farm. My parents also grew their own meat live stock. The last farm we had, was a diary farm. Again my parents grew al our own food. It was super hard to learn to adapt to town living after they have sold our farm to start up a general store in town. Growing your own food is only one step to having and building your own farm. You wil also need some good building skills. To build and renovate buildings on your farm. Also how to build your animal pens, ponds and watering systimes. Get your basic plumbing and ellectrical scills in order. Deside what kind of fruit and vegi garden stile you are going to practice. Then learn and practice al your new skills in your town garden first. Learn al the preserving skills you could find. Learn how to make butter, cheese and yogurts. Learn how to process your own life stock in to meat products. To watch video's is always a good idea, but you wil have to practise al your new learned skills before you head out to buy a farm.
Absolutely!!!! You are 💯 correct!! Well said. 😁
Awesome 😎
Thank you so much! If you could, would you mind sharing this video on your other social platforms!
We really just want to help as many people return to the land as possible!
The first minute of this video is literally me 😅
Oh that’s so awesome David THANK YOU! Please be sure to share the video!!!!
Trying to get 3 acres now. I know its not much but I've never had more than .2 lol.
Hey, 3 acres can bust your BUTT!!!
@@BetterTogetherLife I bet!
The only home we've ever owned before the pandemic, was our 1/3rd acre Suburban Homestead that my channel iis named after.. we bought 40 acres 3 months ago lol... we have stepped DEEP into it!! 🤣 it's beautiful but overwhelming at the same time.. we have enough land to host ALL our inlaws and relatives if we or they wanted to group up and live on the land together ❤ 😉
@@suburbangardenpermaculture3117 hellava chunk of land!!
@@Rubio_Eric so far!! Its not flat land, it has alot of character which is nice. Dallas is basically flat.
Incredible video!! Thank you so much! 💖
We are in the process of saving to buy land and start our own homestead and this video contains so much helpful information.
It feels overwhelming some days so we greatly appreciate channels like yours 🙏🏼
What is the best way to contact you guys for business inquiries?
Hey Araya! You can email bettertogetherlife@gmail.com
Hi..... Thank you for showing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🐕🐈🐄🐖🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍
How does VermiCompost work in a normal Compost bin (such as your pallet) ? Or are Bin's the best way?
Closed Rubbermaid type bins
Where did yall get red wigglers from? Also, I am having difficulty finding fodder and avacado trees 🌴. The website BTL bought from is SOLD OUT for 1 year right now and not finding them in local garden stores either. Any other recommendations to get these trees, please share. much obliged 😁
Yea, the fodder trees are a little tougher.
We are hoping to sell cuttings on a future Etsy store, but probably not until 2023.
But maybe check Etsy now??? You know, I could even buy some and see if that works. Maybe could be a cool video! Haha
@@BetterTogetherLife I will most definitely buy from yall. Our community thrives on supporting each other especially locally. We are in central texas. I was driving around looking for land today in bandera county.
Plus, It would be epic to see yall try growing some off of where ever yall buy and etc. look forward to video if yall are able to do it 😁🤗💜💛💚🎥
Quick question, does anyone know what they did with the chicken coop in one of the first chicken clips?
What do you mean? Oh….. that little one on the ground? That was just something we used when they were chicks to get them on grass.
It was an old rabbit cage.
@@BetterTogetherLife Oh cool! I thought it was some type of mobile chicken coop of sorts to move them around on grass.
Nice T-Shirt. Where can I find one?
Oh thank you! They are available on our TH-cam store:
TH-cam.Com/bettertogetherlife/store
@@BetterTogetherLife thank you, Sir. Just ordered one! I am wanting to make the move from Houston too. I was looking at properties in Central Texas and everything is through the roof. Any suggestions on towns? I really liked Kerrville and Llano, but pricy! Cheers and blessings
Wow THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH Emanuel!!!
You just supported our little homestead. THANK YOU! 😁😁😁😁
Wow THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH Emanuel!!!
You just supported our little homestead. THANK YOU! 😁😁😁😁
Lands in Texas. Honestly, everything is expensive right now. Sorry.
But if we go into a recession lands will come down for sure. So make as much money as you can and start SAVING UP!!!!
I wanted to download the list... but it is not showing above.
Oh THANK YOU so much Marjory, something got broken with the link. Can you check this link and let us know if it works?
www.bettertogetherhomestead.com/apartmenttohomestead
@@BetterTogetherLife That link worked for me!
And quit spending money on beer and pot.
That will probably save you some money, right?! Hahaha!!!
And cigarettes and snack foods and Starbucks coffee, and cold cereal, and buying lunches.
@@janshuster1426 yeah
Neither of which are getting less expensive I'm sure 😆
Oh my goodness!!! infinite levels of epicness 🤩🌈
THANK YOU!!! I have other videos yall made like this saved to a special playlist, notes written in a notebook 📔 and on my computer 💻. This is like cliff notes of all those other videos jammed into 1 💜💛💚🗝️🔑
Yesterday I bought 2 small banana trees and sitting on my porch 😁🌱🍌
I am also growing some herbs, handful of veggies, elderberry, and some pollunator plants 🦋🌻🐝
I was quite confident with the progress I have made up to this point. The list showed I am almost half way there. Slowly paying off debt and looking for land with a realtor now.
I am so excited for the rest of the list, yall just have no idea, bursting with passion 😍
I knew about the worms. I have been so fixated on debt, land, growing a garden to where I didnt think "Hey! START worms NOW"
I initally planned to start chickens and meat rabbits. Well it was a blessing in disguise for now with feed costs and heat. I wish I would have thought to start worms earlier this year at the time I made the decision to hold off on chickens 🐥 & rabbits 🐰. I was so bummed about having to hold off on that and focused on making progress in other areas to where worms didnt cross my mind.
Thanks again 🤗 I share yalls videos as often as possible to share the love and knowledge.
blessed be 🌛🌟🌜

Are great choices for buying the worms. Hopefully I can make some worm videos this coming fall once we get over this crazy heat wave down in Texas.
Thanks again!
@@BetterTogetherLife much obliged 🌟😊
