Justin, please, take a moment to close your eyes while outside... All that you hear and all the beauty that surrounds you-is your dad. Your children’s laughter, the chickens, pigs, goats & cows.... That’s all him! Thank you, for a beautiful vlog!
Ah, Justin. My husband passed away unexpectedly in his sleep last Friday. I got him hooked on your channel and he reminded me so much of a younger version of your dad. I used to joke with him that he would be just like him, in 15 yrs. I'd like to think they have met by this time & are looking down with a big smile, because they would get along like a house afire.
Justin, I don't know how many times I've cried with you over your dad, and other times from laughing! You've got a beautiful heart my friend! Something any dad, or in my case, Mom, would be proud of! You are my sons age. I have a very strong feeling, the life you're building with your children, you're going to be the same dad your children will always be proud to say "That's my Poppa!" You are loved by many!
Justin, my Dad passed away three years ago and even though I can’t hear his voice and I can no longer ask him questions or advice, I hear his answer in my heart. Your Dad is talking to you too just in a different way.
I really love your videos, I live in a tiny apartment in a big city in the center of Europe and I had a little window-sill garden. I grew tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, and a couple of herbs and it helped me a lot through though situations being connected to my food, growing my own stuff. Unfortunately, my landlord made me take everything down because they deemed it unsafe (I know construction and it wasn't, but there was no space for argument). That really got me down, and I struggled a lot...but sometimes I guess the TH-cam algorithm works in mysterious ways I saw one of your videos and watching you and your family grow food, learning about agriculture, got me reconnected! This season I managed to grow some salads and garlic...I'm on my path again. I hope someday in the future I'll have a patch of land, and finally grow a bit more. But I just wanted to say thank you for all the effort and sharing your journey with this very personal perspective! I'm glad I found this patch of green on the internet!
I hope you know how much you inspire people, not just farmers. I'm just a 50 year old backyard chicken momma (I have 5 hens) who lives in the suburbs of San Diego. I end every day with your family, watching you build, grow and prosper on your farm. I bought Joel's book "You Can Farm" because even though I'm getting on in my years, I have a dream to retire on a small homestead. Watching what you do gives me faith that I still have it in me to do a smaller version of what you do. You are a gift to the whole world.
Bless you Heart Justin and Family. When you think of your Father and you tear up, that's your father talking to you threw your Heart and not your ears!! He's smiling a grin from ear to ear at you right now!!!
It’s a club of which no one wants to be a member. Yet, most of us will, eventually become. I feel your loss. Not a day goes by I don’t hurt for the loss of my father. Yet, that gives me some solace, he is never really gone. Keep doing this noble and important work.
well you sure are going to hear from many of us whose lives you've touched by the way you treat your family and friends. I am particularly touched by the way you treat Arun. You are always kind and loving in the way you talk to him even though you are telling him what to do. You are a genuine loving person and you cant hide it. Thank you sir.
I was crying before you even started yourself. I’m trying so hard to make this work and with very little cash flow. And you know what? It is working. My builds may not be new materials or even pretty but by the grace of God my chickens and geese are thriving and happy. Now I’m building a pig shelter and saving every penny I can find to buy those pigs. I want to make myself proud. And even though you do not know me I’m always trying to “do it and make Justin proud”. Thank you Thank you Thank you. From the bottom of my heart ❤️. Justin you and your family are a gift from God to all those looking to be better.
Your father would be proud! I am sure I am one of thousands of young men that you inspire to be a better man, a better father, and a better human!! You are our Joel Salatin!
How can anyone dislike this video? I really don't understand what goes through some people's heads. But enough about them. Justin, I so badly wanted to give you a hug! Keep doing what you're doing, hes proud of you either way.
Please take this with love and blessings for your family. My father passed away 6 1/2 years ago and I miss him as much today as I did then. He does speak to me, but not in the normal way. He speaks to me with little signs that i know are from him. As adults it's often difficult to recognize them, unlike children, in their innocence, who see all. Not just my father, but all those i love who have gone before me. The best example is my very outspoken mother -in-law, who i adored. She had already been gone 5 years when my father-in-law passed. We inherited the house and decided to clean everything out and let my daughter and grandchildren move in. My daughter was very concerned whether her grandparents would approve and be ok with the changes. Now, mind you, we cleaned out everything including the closets. After they moved in, my young granddaughter had opened the hall closet and my daughter told her to please close it. She stepped away from the door and in her hand was an empty bag of tootsie rolls. My mother-in-law loved them and there was always a bag on her kitchen counter. My daughter was freaked out and called me immediately. I told her that was her sign that all was good. Your father can't speak to you with his voice but can show you through little things that he sees you. We often want huge miracles, which are easy to recognize, but it's the little things we miss. Look for the little things.
Subsistence farming is scary. However, it has been and will be the savior of humanity in dire times. You do a great job of lighting the way for others with spine to withstand the labor and the laughter of the city people.
I had no idea that I would be sobbing after watching a farming channel video. You are a wonderful man, husband, father, & son. You deserve all of your success and more. God bless you and your family.
Got notified a few days ago that mine is on the way. Can’t wait to dig in! Keep up the good work.My dad died when I was 21 and my mother died a year after... I’m 56 now and I still struggle with regrets, etc... even after all these years. Like Joel said, be grateful for how long he was a part of your life.
Justin..you get me everytime! Congrats and thank you for blessing me with the recognition I missed from my parents growing up. I'm proud of myself and often think my dad would be too. This from a woman who just lost her career due to covid and is finally back in the woods on her farm making plans for the future.
Justin a few years back when I met you I told that you were my hero...Well you still are and a Hero to most who farm and raise their family on great organic food...Your Father was your inspiration to lessons learned I'm sure.. But I think you were a hero to him also.. I could see the pride in him when he looked at you and the kids... So well done and keep up the great work.
Justin , YOU have blessed us ALL by listening to Joel , and passing that God given information to US !! You and your family are remarkable , and we ALL love you !! God Bless :)
Hi Rhodes-Family, First of all, I wanna thank you for your real and origin content. Regarding the book: We will celebrate the day it will arrive.... in Germany! Because it will assist and change our community’s abundantly life! We already bought tape measures in inches ;-) Thank You and keep up your inspiring work. Cheers Stefan
He is still watching everything that YOU are doing. He is in your soul,the land, every time he kids smile. We all miss the ones we loose. This new baby is from him. All the every day accomplishments are from the ones that come in the now and future are from your biggest fan. Love what your doing and your family is amazing. God Bless
Toughest thing is loosing a parent, you turn a corner and think, I need to show this to Dad or I need to ask Dad about this. Same when my mom died when I was eight. All the big milestones you think, wow, wish mom could of seen this. But...every time you show your children how to do something or find the wonderment of their world, you honor your dad and he lives on though you and your children. Pain lessens but it never is truely gone. All you can do is hug your kids, hug your wife...and love them the best you can. Thanks for posting and yes your Dad is proud of you.
Congraulations on the Sale of Joel's Book. Your Dad is with and watching over you and your family each an everyday. Know it doesn't replace the loss or sadness but hopefully it will give you a feeling of happiness in some way that he's with and watching. God Bless and Peace Be With You All
I am so proud of you from where you have come. I have no need for the book I am sixty had two strokes but you encourage me so much. I started in a bucket growing baby spinach,next spring I have a allotment. It’s not the big guy’s you reach it’s the little one like me. So Justin I say again I AM PROUD OF YOU and your family, we are truly blessed by all of you xxxx
Jousting you do hear your dad. Everytime his words pop into your head and heart he is speaking to you. You know in the end he was proud. Maybe he sends his words through Joel when you two talk about such things. I miss my dad terribly and I still have many issues with him even at the age of 62 but every time I think of something he would do or say I know he is talking to me. My brother and I always joke about the crazy dreams we have about our parents. They are visiting us. Sit quiet and l iui sten to him and smile. He is to you.
Wow that was real, I feel appreciation in my heart now and frankly I'm a little weepy. Thank you for all your hard work and determination and sharing your family with us.
Justin I can guarantee Boots is watching and is so proud of all that you have accomplished!! I can't wait to start reading that book, it is supposed to be here Wednesday.
I've watched your videos for several months now and have enjoyed and learned so much from them. This video was the most real and emotional one I know your feeling of loss and totally understand wanting to "hear their voice of approval and pride" thank you! Keep doing what your doing and know your kids are doing this with you and your creating those lasting memories with you. Love you and your beautiful family. God bless!
Justin you and your family are so precious!!!! The love of Jesus absolutely pours from the whole family !!! Thank you for being so real, so down-to-earth and forthright!!!! You and your family are a blessing to all of us!!!!!!!🙏❤
You had me crying too, my dad has been gone 29 years tomorrow..😞😞😞 i didn’t know I was craving the approval, maybe not approval but just knowing he was pleased would mean a difference 😊
Justin I lost my mom almost 50 years ago I was 16 years old. Sometimes it feels like yesterday still I have my days now and then not as much as I used too there few and far between now. I do the ugly cry eat ice cream get myself reset to go on because you have too.... He’ll always be with you just a thought or heartbeat way.❤️
Thank you for all that you do and all that you share. You have so much to take care of and so many people in your household that look to you, please remember to take time for yourself, especially as you approach the anniversary of the passing of your Dad. Here is my suggestion: take a day where, after morning chores are done, you go by yourself into your woods. Lay on the earth and look up at the trees. Focus on one leaf in the tree tops to empty out the busyness of your mind and soak in the peace.
Jamaica here great job Justin and family hello baby momma love how you and your wife grow your children it is a life long training congrats to you both keep the good work going may God bless and keep you all
Justin you are one amazing man.Your family is so lucky to have you.I wish I was a lot younger and had a wonderful not lazy man in my life,but that didn’t happen for me.And your children are being raised the right way.God Bless you in every way.
Im proud of you Justin farming life is not easy and all of us have watched you everyday non stop and now is paying off what a relieve am so happy for YOU PROUD OF YOU i dont know you but i love you send you a hug
Am grateful for your content. Always following from Uganda. Implementing local chicken, soon adding more animals on my farm. Thanks always. Joel is great.
Don’t feel sad ! I believe that every time the spring comes and warms the earth. It is our loved one way of warming our hearts and will be ok! Thank you for sharing your story. Many blessed to you and your family
You are amazing, you are a great father, husband, friend and homesteader not to mention son. Your father is shinning down on you now telling you how proud he is and how much he loves you. I am not a homesteader but only because I am ill and getting older but it has always been a dream which is why I watch your channel, I love you and your family. Great job and my tears are rolling down. I lost both my parents and I was daddy's little girl so that was hard to loose him and I was moms caregiver. Justin, good job.
🤗🤗. WOW WOW WOW. This was a piece of art and so thoughtfully edited and put together right down to the giant tree hug I’m certain so many felt. I’ve seen that some have stated they’re tired of all the advertising you’re doing for someone else’s book and tired of hearing nothing but Joel Saladin (?sp?). When someone has influenced you so much and for the better I say WHY NOT? Each day up to the anniversary of your dads passing you’ll relive each of those moments and Lord knows the tears will fall. Look around yourself and then at your kids and feel the Love your dad is still showing cuz he is .....maybe even more with your many successes. And then feel the pride and then share a tender moment with each one of the kids. THAT is keeping the heartbeat of the land alive from the time your relatives moved onto it. I believe your friendship has blossomed and bloomed more with Joel cuz your dad saw it and knew one day you’d need a friend to help you as your dad did just by praising your work and eagerness to keep the land alive. The feeling of loss and the longing to have just one more hour never goes away. Dang I still play the last message my mom and sister did before their untimely passing just to hear their voice. It fills my heart when I need a hug. Sorry this is long BUT this video touched me and I wanted to praise you for your openness. It meant a lot. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Justin since you are honest with us i will be with you. Every time you talk about Mr. BOOTS all I think about is my pa. They were so much alike. Mr Boots was your daddy and pa was my grandpa. They were both stern but gentle men. So loving and nurturing. Justin be proud because I know Mr. Boots is proud of you.
God bless Joel Salatin and his family. God bless you and your family Justin. To regenerating the earth, and bringing about God's will on earth as it is in heaven.
Wish I could give than one thumbs up. Congrats and well done on messaging that is, has, and will continue to change more lives for the better. Thank you.
I have lost both of my parents and understand the longing you have for your father. I remember Boots saying he was going to have you piped up to heaven. I know your dad is very proud of you in every aspect of your life. Hugs and love to you my friend. May you feel his presence and encouragement.
Justin, You know that I have watched every video on your channel, and Becky's and the Rhodes Bros too. It has been a great journey and a wonderful adventure to be able to spend time watching you all. Thanks.
Awwww man this video hit me so hard. Lost my grandfather around the same time. Nov. 18th 2019. You just touched my heart all the way out here in Tucson Arizona! Wish you nothing but happiness and success for your future man. Keep working hard. Love to the whole family. 🤗
thanks so much for opening up and talking from your heart . love your family. 60 years ago i was helping my mum and dad farm the same way you are bring up your children there were 4 of us kids and in our life we found that the skills came in play and helped us though our lives .all the way from New Zealand .
Such a heartfelt video. I have always loved the videos with your Dad included. I am so excited, I received notice I should be receiving my book on Wednesday and I can't wait to read it. Thank you for letting me know this book was available. Also thank Joel for writing it when you talk to him. After I read it I will be giving it to my young nephew who is undecided which direction to go. He has a wonderful understanding of nature and the potential way of farming, but I think this book will help send him in correct direction.
Love ur channel, yes my parents were teens in depression.... I'm in 70s n remember at Christmas we would be excited when Dad brought home a hand full of oranges.. a friend had driven up from Florida we lived in Hudson valley NYS... 90n of NYC. Country.... Helped mom can produce.... LOL we, kids, didn't like her catsup.. LOL.... OMG first taste of Organic catsup.... From store.... Brought tears tasted just like Mom made..!!!!
Justin I will say I am proud of you I watch your show and dream of what could be I know you miss your dad more than you know both my parents are going on now and it is true look for somebody to tell you you're doing a great job praying for your family blessings upon you
An altruistic act that made you reflect so deeply and here I am watching you grow into the older man that is going to make a young man say: no one can replace my dad, but I want to make Justin proud and to hear him say "thank you" meant everything to me". Sending hugs and blessings to you and yours. ☺️

Your Father was a good man.
How do I know this?
Because he raised a good son.
Justin, please, take a moment to close your eyes while outside... All that you hear and all the beauty that surrounds you-is your dad. Your children’s laughter, the chickens, pigs, goats & cows.... That’s all him! Thank you, for a beautiful vlog!

I really love your videos, I live in a tiny apartment in a big city in the center of Europe and I had a little window-sill garden. I grew tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, and a couple of herbs and it helped me a lot through though situations being connected to my food, growing my own stuff.

Just as you have people you admire, like Joel, we admire you. Thank you, Justin.
Stay strong, continue to make your father proud of you. We are proud of you too.
Your Dad may have laughed, but he was always in your corner!!

Didn't expect to wipe down tears today! Your family is such an inspiration to us. Appreciate you sharing honestly.
He will find a way to show you how proud he is💗 little reminders along the way 🦋

I completely feel for you. I lost my dad in July. He was supposed to help me build my chicken coop next year. ❤
I've watched your videos for several months now and have enjoyed and learned so much from them.

Keep doing what your doing and know your kids are doing this with you and your creating those lasting memories with you. Love you and your beautiful family. God bless!

Justin you and your family are so precious!!!! The love of Jesus absolutely pours from the whole family !!! Thank you for being so real, so down-to-earth and forthright!!!!
You and your family are a blessing to all of us!!!!!!!🙏❤
You had me crying too, my dad has been gone 29 years tomorrow..😞😞😞 i didn’t know I was craving the approval, maybe not approval but just knowing he was pleased would mean a difference 😊
Very emotional, I watch your channel since almost the beginning and I am glad about how everyone grew.
Hugs and peace to you and your family...
Justin I lost my mom almost 50 years ago I was 16 years old. Sometimes it feels like yesterday still I have my days now and then not as much as I used too there few and far between now. I do the ugly cry eat ice cream get myself reset to go on because you have too.... He’ll always be with you just a thought or heartbeat way.❤️

Jamaica here great job Justin and family hello baby momma love how you and your wife grow your children it is a life long training congrats to you both keep the good work going may God bless and keep you all
You’re making me a bit teary eyed.
Great job! We felt your love from your father!
Justin you are one amazing man.Your family is so lucky to have you.I wish I was a lot younger and had a wonderful not lazy man in my life,but that didn’t happen for me.And your children are being raised the right way.God Bless you in every way.
Beautiful Story!
I'm so proud of you Justin
That’s why those Christmas brown bags meant so much. We still got those in the 70s from our churches where I grew up.
Justin, Congratulations 🎈🎊🎉!!! Boots is proud of you 👍 thank you 🙏 💜
Well that made me cry!
Im proud of you Justin farming life is not easy and all of us have watched you everyday non stop and now is paying off what a relieve am so happy for YOU PROUD OF YOU i dont know you but i love you send you a hug
Am grateful for your content. Always following from Uganda. Implementing local chicken, soon adding more animals on my farm. Thanks always. Joel is great.
Don’t feel sad ! I believe that every time the spring comes and warms the earth. It is our loved one way of warming our hearts and will be ok! Thank you for sharing your story. Many blessed to you and your family
You are amazing, you are a great father, husband, friend and homesteader not to mention son. Your father is shinning down on you now telling you how proud he is and how much he loves you. I am not a homesteader but only because I am ill and getting older but it has always been a dream which is why I watch your channel, I love you and your family. Great job and my tears are rolling down. I lost both my parents and I was daddy's little girl so that was hard to loose him and I was moms caregiver. Justin, good job.
Awwww. Well done. You've helped a lot of people. Good job.
I hope so!
Bless you Justin. Bless your kind soul and warm heart.
Thanks for the tears man
You Rock Justin! Keep doing all the amazing things you do each and every day!
I am proud of you Justin Rhodes and your family been watching for three years and y’all are just an absolute inspiration❤️
🤗🤗. WOW WOW WOW. This was a piece of art and so thoughtfully edited and put together right down to the giant tree hug I’m certain so many felt. I’ve seen that some have stated they’re tired of all the advertising you’re doing for someone else’s book and tired of hearing nothing but Joel Saladin (?sp?). When someone has influenced you so much and for the better I say WHY NOT? Each day up to the anniversary of your dads passing you’ll relive each of those moments and Lord knows the tears will fall. Look around yourself and then at your kids and feel the Love your dad is still showing cuz he is .....maybe even more with your many successes. And then feel the pride and then share a tender moment with each one of the kids. THAT is keeping the heartbeat of the land alive from the time your relatives moved onto it. I believe your friendship has blossomed and bloomed more with Joel cuz your dad saw it and knew one day you’d need a friend to help you as your dad did just by praising your work and eagerness to keep the land alive. The feeling of loss and the longing to have just one more hour never goes away. Dang I still play the last message my mom and sister did before their untimely passing just to hear their voice. It fills my heart when I need a hug. Sorry this is long BUT this video touched me and I wanted to praise you for your openness. It meant a lot. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations to Joel and you for all the sales. Looking forward to getting mine !!
Justin ... bless you ... bless you ... bless you! I laughed when you kissed the tree :o)
Justin since you are honest with us i will be with you. Every time you talk about Mr. BOOTS all I think about is my pa. They were so much alike. Mr Boots was your daddy and pa was my grandpa. They were both stern but gentle men. So loving and nurturing. Justin be proud because I know Mr. Boots is proud of you.
Love this.
God bless Joel Salatin and his family. God bless you and your family Justin.
To regenerating the earth, and bringing about God's will on earth as it is in heaven.
Beautiful and heartwarming 🌼
I feel you Justin, stay strong
Can wait to get our copy we ordered. I know it will be a blessing to us and our little farm. Hugs!
Wish I could give than one thumbs up. Congrats and well done on messaging that is, has, and will continue to change more lives for the better. Thank you.
Much appreciated!
Thank you for being who you are justin ❤
I have lost both of my parents and understand the longing you have for your father. I remember Boots saying he was going to have you piped up to heaven. I know your dad is very proud of you in every aspect of your life. Hugs and love to you my friend. May you feel his presence and encouragement.
You did good, Justin.
Justin, You know that I have watched every video on your channel, and Becky's and the Rhodes Bros too. It has been a great journey and a wonderful adventure to be able to spend time watching you all. Thanks.
I'm sorry Justin, with great sadness, I can't afford the book. Way to go though! How exciting! 🐓
Your Dad is real proud of you Justin believe me.
Awwww man this video hit me so hard. Lost my grandfather around the same time. Nov. 18th 2019. You just touched my heart all the way out here in Tucson Arizona! Wish you nothing but happiness and success for your future man. Keep working hard. Love to the whole family. 🤗
Justin i just love your family and this was the greatest video to me blessed my ❤ give Becca and kids my love too. So proud of ya'll.
thanks so much for opening up and talking from your heart . love your family. 60 years ago i was helping my mum and dad farm the same way you are bring up your children there were 4 of us kids and in our life we found that the skills came in play and helped us though our lives .all the way from New Zealand .
Such a heartfelt video. I have always loved the videos with your Dad included.
I am so excited, I received notice I should be receiving my book on Wednesday and I can't wait to read it. Thank you for letting me know this book was available. Also thank Joel for writing it when you talk to him. After I read it I will be giving it to my young nephew who is undecided which direction to go. He has a wonderful understanding of nature and the potential way of farming, but I think this book will help send him in correct direction.
Love ur channel, yes my parents were teens in depression.... I'm in 70s n remember at Christmas we would be excited when Dad brought home a hand full of oranges.. a friend had driven up from Florida we lived in Hudson valley NYS... 90n of NYC. Country.... Helped mom can produce.... LOL we, kids, didn't like her catsup.. LOL.... OMG first taste of Organic catsup.... From store.... Brought tears tasted just like Mom made..!!!!
Justin I will say I am proud of you I watch your show and dream of what could be I know you miss your dad more than you know both my parents are going on now and it is true look for somebody to tell you you're doing a great job praying for your family blessings upon you
An altruistic act that made you reflect so deeply and here I am watching you grow into the older man that is going to make a young man say: no one can replace my dad, but I want to make Justin proud and to hear him say "thank you" meant everything to me".
Sending hugs and blessings to you and yours. ☺️
Big hugs from Florida!
your so special in my day to day dreams of wanting to live this type of life....god bless your life style and your wisdom you give willingly
I was still wAtching till the end.
Yo made me cry!
I say to you,,,,,THANK YOU , THANK YOU!❤️
Bless darlings.....
We loved your dad
