Congratulations! It will be. A lot . Of work. But, the joys will be much more! Good luck! I had to chuckle, we are looking at buying a 160 acre tract in NW MT of timber land to build a homestead on. Friends keep asking what we will DO with 160 acres? I tell them, worst case will be that the timber land just continues to grow. We plan to live there, raise gardens and animals, use the timber to build our house and out buildings and any other infrastructure we need, also to build furniture for our use and to possibly sell. I laugh, WHAT will we do with the land? :) Blessings to you on your next path in this endeavor to provide for your family!
I grew up about 40 minutes south of Pittsburgh of course that was 70 years ago. You will love the rolling hills I missed it so much I bought another farm about 10 years ago. Good luck on the move and also the white tail deer
Just so you know! We are moving in two months too, to a 40 acre farm that we are currently renovating and So you’re story is super helpful! I don’t have as much to move just the chickens but... I’ll be setting up at the new site and adding things . Can’t wait for the upcoming videos!! Btw mr. .....your wifey ... she’s my hero! An absolutely inspiring and beautiful woman! I love how intuitive and skilled she is at all the animal and garden stuff, at our little homestead I’ll also be taking on that same role. ❤️thanks to you both for the incredible and informative content!!
Haha my dad bought me a horse when I was 15 years old to try to keep me away from boys too. I'm 30 now and have had the same horse for 15 years. I boarded him at a stable for years and I finally bought my own 5 Acres with a log home and now he's in my backyard! You guys are very lucky to have this opportunity and I wish you the best of luck!
What a wonderful blessing! Being close to family is such a blessing! Being supportive of family is also a wonderful blessing! God is so amazingly GOOD!
Congrats on the new homestead we have a 60 acre homestead in rural Arkansas and are about 3-4 years into developing it into what we want it to be. I always enjoy your videos.
So glad you're taking livestock with you. This is so exciting for you...a lot of hard work but you are so fortunate to have this offer given to you. Good luck and sending prayers for a smooth transition. Hugs
Oh thank goodness. I saw the title and I thought y'all were done. We're in the process of buying our first farm so we've really enjoyed watching your videos to learn what we're getting ourselves into!! Thank you for the great videos!!!
it's going to be a wonderful adventure. Anxious to see how you move the livestock. I was fretting over moving ducks & their pond & catching the loose turkeys...& my almond tree & peach tree & apple tree & grapes & berries & cherries...but really, your move makes mine seem minuscule! Love to see how your subscriber moves fruit trees if you see/hear of it. Let the adventure begin!
With all those breweries, craft breweries, wineries in the new region, this is a good option for gaining post-mash for livestock and fowl feed. And if any of them have their own restaurants you also tie back in your goods with their restaurant menu for additional options.

Welcome! We have some of the cleanest soils available anywhere. Because of our hills and valleys, huge agriculture hasn't been willing to farm (and contaminate) here as much. It's easier to find clean soil for organic growing, something I hope you will pursue.
I'm so excited for you all! We moved 3 times in a year! I love packing. If I lived closer I would help but I'm up here in WI. Can't wait to watch your videos!!
I'm continually enjoying this good news! Some of my favorite podcasts are those who are a husband and wife team doing it together. The chemistry always shines through and makes it that much more special. (not that yours isn't already special....I feel like i'm digging myself a hole here...) Regardless, excited for the new ventures!!
Wow just Wow!! What an adventure. I am a little overwhelmed just hearing all that you will be moving. You are young and I know you can and will do it. Good luck, this will be so interesting to watch you accomplish all that needs to be done.
Pam Hartley we’re not getting any younger, that’s for sure! My energy pales next to my six year old...but now is the easiest time for us. I feel for my parents who will be moving into a newly constructed house. But they want to do It!
Hi ya'll! Watching your channel and listening about ya'll homestead news about moving to a beautiful state, I wanted to wish ya'll luck and wait for ya'll videos about how ya'll are going to all your animals and everything else, can't wait to see how ya'll are going to do this, I have already got a picture in my head how it's going to go and I'm laughing. I think ya'll are awesome family and funny. The best of luck to everyone.
We are getting close to our announcement. By the way, we brought two freezers full of meat from Oregon to Pennsylvania but it was January and was -7 when we arrived. So Everything was still nice and frozen.
When we moved we purchased a converter to plug into the cigarette lighter and some long extension cords and we were able to keep the freezers at to proper temps. It was extremely heavy. But we got it taken care of with a couple of extra hands.
Welcome.!! We just moved to PA a year ago on 10 acres near Codorus State Park. We are just getting started with the homestead but we both work fulltime so a little slow. Exciting move - looking forward to seeing more about your journey. :-) If you're ever planning to be in the area let us know. Good luck to both of you.!
Congrats, that is going to be SO awesome for you and your family! My family comes from Washington PA, so it's not too far from your area. We are in north-central Ohio, now. I look forward to watching your move and progress on your new farm! ~~Leslie
Enjoying the videos, new to the channel this week. What a blessing that has come your way. Just a thought, you can rent refrigerated truck...might be a good way to get all your freezers and such to the new home. Will be interesting and exciting to see your journey. My grandmother came from western PA, really beautiful country. GB
Good luck to you all, I enjoy your videos hope to see lots more about your new homestead adventures ... My husband and youngest son and I moved from a 180 acre in Minnesota to an off grid home on 40 acre homestead in Wyoming
I'm a new subscriber. I was raised near the area that you folks are moving too. Western PA is very beautiful country and a great place to raise kids and farm. I spent my early years about an hour east of Pittsburgh in a little town called Jeanette. We then moved to SW PA about an hour south of Pittsburg. A little College town called Waynesburg. It's spitting distance from WV. I get homesick from time to time as I still have relatives up there. But I don't miss the winters. We live in TX and due to health conditions, we don't get back to PA very often. But I'm sure that you will love the area and the folks. Sounds like you're moving near Somerset PA. Best of Luck on your move. Will be awaiting your vids on how things are going. God Bless
1timby I have friends in Jeanette still 😊 thank you for the kind words! We’ll be traveling south for vacation some winters I’m sure. This winter has overstayed it’s welcome!
I am pretty excited about the adventure of it all . I am in a 5 yr pan to get my homestead so I am glued to this channel for all the learning be it good or things learned and not so good (hoping for it to be awesome) but I am excited to see how things get along
You guys will love it! I have deer all over my property, and I love it. I have also had a funeral for chickens because they were my kids chickens lol! I'm excited for family's journey.
+Homesteady I am new, 3/4 days in to your channel, and immediately I found myself enveloped into your lives! I think you both are just wonderful and beautiful people! I’m excited for you guys with the new journey you have coming soon, and I am excited that I get to come along for the ride, watching all the joyous, and complicated moments that I’m sure you’ll go through, but all for gain! Bless you guys... from British Columbia, Canada 🇨🇦
Loved this. It is hard to move, write lists! Arrange for your living creatures and yourselves 1st. Including your stored food. Best of luck, will be following!
Maybe you should make smaller trips moving, take things like the winter clothes, half of the kids toys and half of the kichen items that you can to make moving less stressful.
I’m new to the channel. Just watched the video telling us of the move. This is exciting. Looks a lot like what we had planned on doing. It’ll be interesting to watch how it develops.
It’s sad to see the only homestead channel from my state of CT go but I’m extremely excited for you. CT has way too many restrictions and is completely too expensive I am honestly not shocked nor can I blame you for doing this. This is going to be an amazing experience for your entire family. Can’t wait to watch how it all unfolds. Best wishes.
So very excited for you guys! I'll be watching, encouraging, cheering! The only question that remains....what structure are you guys going to dwell in? Is there a house already there? Will you be living in the parents house and building your own? I was shocked no one asked where the 'human barn' was going to be! Smiles and blessings...
Lisa Vanvalkenburgh we’ll have a house and barns. The house is one my dad designed and built, I grew up in it. They’ll build a smaller, more accessible house for themselves.
I will be tuning in! Please video lot's of detail in your process. I have a homestead that I have put a lot of heart, soul and money into. I know down the road I will have to move to another farm location and want to take all of my homestead with me and not have to sell and have to buy it all again.
The family farm sounds idyllic: potential for rotational pasturing, 'shrooming, hunting, maybe fishing. What a great place to grow up. I'm so glad you are taking all your animals with you. How is the internet service on the farm in Pennsylvania? Specifically, what's the upload speed like in such a rural area? P.S. All that work will be so worthwhile.
Yep, exciting but a little scary too. Looking back on my life, that was the most challenging thing I ever went thru was moving and it was literally only 5 miles from previous residence. I don’t do well with change.
Can the meat then you don't have to worry about the meat thawing when you move it will also enable you to make meals quickly when your in a hurry and will last for years without freezer burn,raw pack makes it real easy
KAREN RIGGLE I agree! Canning IS the way to go! We get storms that take out the electric! FAST meals! Bee Blessed Danny and Rita in TN on Rooster's Ridge
well once again we can see how some are bless...over bless if i may say...while some of us have been just struggling and trying and dreaming to have a small farm..nothing turns out...congratulations...
That move is going to be a lot of fun to watch.!!.. I'm really looking forward to see y'all struggle trying to bring everything you own, but I know you won't .. it's impossible.!.. One frustrating experience I've had when I move, is that it looks easy enough until you start packing. Turns out you had way more stuff than you thought. So, the laws of physics mandates that some things or stuff you love, must stay behind. Count on it.!!
SO happy to see you BOTH happy about the move! Love your videos! Love the camera work! I love the cows, sadly, I have COW ENVY!! No antibiotics for THAT! The goats are coming in a close second. WOW! I was mesmerized by your piano skills!! The sound inside the truck was GREAT! Bee Blessed Danny and Rita in TN on Rooster's Ridge
Just a tip from a packing pro: get a small tote for toys and put a few toys you want to take in the car in it. Then pack up the rest of the toys. Make this the first order of business and you'll skip tripping over and cleaning up toys as you pack the rest of the house
When I was a kid we moved from east Texas to LA, California. We had a freezer full of food. My dad would stop like every day and get dry ice. All our stuff stayed frozen hard.
My earliest years were spent on a 38 acre farm about an hour outside of Annapolis, MD. Parents moved us (closest brother in age, me and mom/dad) to SW FL when I was 10. Have missed that lifestyle ever since. Met my husband there (he's from Worchester, MA, so yes..go PATS). We settled down in SW FL for 10 years and then ended up in NW GA. Wanted to get property there but parents talked Us into coming to there property in the Fl Panhandle about an hour above Panama city. Didn't work out for us, my parents are almost 80 and hard to live with or next to. So we bought 7.5 acres in the next town over and are Finally starting our Homesteading adventure. Had chickens for years, got about 40 now, 3 tky's, 2 ND goats, and 4 pigs. Sheep and dexters to come eventually. Good luck on your move. My grandpa mined out that way in his youth, beautiful area! You'll love it.
We arrived at the California border in 3 VW vans. One animals, one household goods, one a homemade freezer built to fit inside.We were only moving a small portion of our homestead, the original would continue a few more years with my sister and I would be on the new one. eventually the old homestead was sold because the waterfront was as valuable per front foot as what the whole farm cost in 1944. The California homestead was traded for the farm I am on now. It was nice to have oysters as one of the farm crops growing up.
2 milking Saanen does, 5 Peking ducks and some rabbits. Rhubarb and comfrey roots. The school house was at the junction of 4 mile square fields. We had a street light installed which collected all the crickets from the 4 square miles at night which fed the ducks. The summer heat was to much for the rabbits but they multiplied in the crawl space under the concrete school house. The girls room was the goat barn and the boys room was the milking parlor. The coat room was the feeder pigs pen.
Hopefully your new land is already perimeter fenced & posted "No hunting/trespassing" - if there are loads of hunters around there, many don't pay attention to signs, I'd get orange vests for Luna and Ladybug because they are pretty much the same color as a deer... Your new land has been "ignored" for many years, so the soil is probably once again clean enough to be organic.
We lived out by DuBois a few years back, before buying our current homestead. Congratulations on your new place and the move.
Congrats again! I spent a lot of my childhood on my great-grandparents 150 acre farm. It was awesome. What a great opportunity for ya’ll!
Congratulations! It will be. A lot . Of work. But, the joys will be much more! Good luck!
I had to chuckle, we are looking at buying a 160 acre tract in NW MT of timber land to build a homestead on. Friends keep asking what we will DO with 160 acres?

Claire Claire did it work with keeping the boys away
Lee Barbarah Ha ha no. But I've been with my bf for 10 years and my dad really likes him so he's happy.
It didn’t work for me either...but you do learn some very valuable life skills dealing with a horse before a man 😂
Welcome to Pa! I grew up in Freeport and now live in Shelota near Indiana Pa.
What a wonderful blessing! Being close to family is such a blessing! Being supportive of family is also a wonderful blessing! God is so amazingly GOOD!

Congratulations! I am from northwest Ohio, so you are getting closer to me. Be sure to check out Lake Erie, it is beautiful!

Tabitha Jaycox good idea!
Homesteady we had 2 deer and a side of beef. I didn’t want to have to replace all of that.
Homesteady couldn’t afford to lose the amount of meat I had in there.
How wonderful for you guys it’s going to be great for the kids God’s Blessing on your next chapter.
I hope you show a lot more videos of the farm. I live in Ohio and have been to Pennsylvania many times , it is a really beautiful state.
Yeah ! You’re taking the animals !! I’m so looking forward to this. Kay please try and join these live podcasts, when times allow!❤️
Diane Charles I will 😁 as long as no one minds a breastfeeding baby 😂

May this adventure be blessed.
I’m from east PA! Was living about 45 minutes from Pittsburgh, love the content man! Cheers to PA!
Also be careful wearing your Pats stuff! We’ve always joked not to wear our Phillies stuff, that could be dangerous lol.
Best wishes going forward. I'm so happy for you and this outstanding opportunity before you. God bless
Happy that you are taking the cows with you when move! How excited are the kids about moving?
I'm so excited for you guys!! Congratulations! This will be such a great adventure for your family.
Grats on the "new" homestead. Have fun with it is my biggest advice. Be safe.
It seems as if God has opened the doors of blessings for you! So happy that you accepted His challenge. What a blast it'll be!
Congrats, that is going to be SO awesome for you and your family! My family comes from Washington PA, so it's not too far from your area. We are in north-central Ohio, now. I look forward to watching your move and progress on your new farm! ~~Leslie

It's just beautiful. What an enormous blessing. I look forward to watching you work the land.

Really looking forward to watching the progression. Good luck and God bless. Should be fun.
I am excited to watch your new adventure. Lots of time and work ahead. 💕
Good luck to you all, I enjoy your videos hope to see lots more about your new homestead adventures ... My husband and youngest son and I moved from a 180 acre in Minnesota to an off grid home on 40 acre homestead in Wyoming
Wow! From 10 to 100 acres!!! How lucky are you guys.

Moving canned goods is best moved in a big stock tank with oats surrounding the jars
What an incredible opportunity! Wishing you all the best!

This is so exciting for your family! I’d love to hear stories from K about growing up on a farm!
Chantelle Thebault 😊I’ll try
Good for you guys, i expect even greater videos now!!!! Best of luck guys, Rico
Maybe you should make smaller trips moving, take things like the winter clothes, half of the kids toys and half of the kichen items that you can to make moving less stressful.
Amy Delp yes! We plan to do this in April. Hopefully it does ease the load
From 10 acres to 100 acres 😮 Blessings, congratulations! 👨🌾💚 I'm so excited for you!!
What wonderful news, good luck and God Bless!
You two are blessed, may you always be thankful.
p.s you could always start dehydrating all your frozen food; much lighter to move.
I’m new to the channel. Just watched the video telling us of the move. This is exciting. Looks a lot like what we had planned on doing. It’ll be interesting to watch how it develops.
Good luck on the new adventure.It will be rewording.
Good hunting too Aust! So happy for you guys
This is going to be great. We're going to be neighbors. Portage County, OHIO
Live in Eastern PA about 2 hours East of State College. Welcome back to PA.
It’s sad to see the only homestead channel from my state of CT go but I’m extremely excited for you. CT has way too many restrictions and is completely too expensive I am honestly not shocked nor can I blame you for doing this. This is going to be an amazing experience for your entire family. Can’t wait to watch how it all unfolds. Best wishes.
212GREG it’s a beautiful state and we will miss some of our favorite spots.
So very excited for you guys! I'll be watching, encouraging, cheering! The only question that remains....what structure are you guys going to dwell in? Is there a house already there?

When I was a kid we moved from east Texas to LA, California. We had a freezer full of food. My dad would stop like every day and get dry ice. All our stuff stayed frozen hard.
Looks like you guys have a nice little family. Just found your channel. The place you are moving to looks beautiful.
I so enjoyed this video.
My earliest years were spent on a 38 acre farm about an hour outside of Annapolis, MD. Parents moved us (closest brother in age, me and mom/dad) to SW FL when I was 10. Have missed that lifestyle ever since. Met my husband there (he's from Worchester, MA, so yes..go PATS). We settled down in SW FL for 10 years and then ended up in NW GA. Wanted to get property there but parents talked Us into coming to there property in the Fl Panhandle about an hour above Panama city. Didn't work out for us, my parents are almost 80 and hard to live with or next to. So we bought 7.5 acres in the next town over and are Finally starting our Homesteading adventure. Had chickens for years, got about 40 now, 3 tky's, 2 ND goats, and 4 pigs. Sheep and dexters to come eventually. Good luck on your move. My grandpa mined out that way in his youth, beautiful area! You'll love it.
You're going to be in the Appalachias. GORGEOUS area of the country!
We arrived at the California border in 3 VW vans. One animals, one household goods, one a homemade freezer built to fit inside.We were only moving a small portion of our homestead, the original would continue a few more years with my sister and I would be on the new one. eventually the old homestead was sold because the waterfront was as valuable per front foot as what the whole farm cost in 1944. The California homestead was traded for the farm I am on now. It was nice to have oysters as one of the farm crops growing up.
Hans Quistorff that’s amazing. What kind of animals did you bring?
2 milking Saanen does, 5 Peking ducks and some rabbits. Rhubarb and comfrey roots. The school house was at the junction of 4 mile square fields. We had a street light installed which collected all the crickets from the 4 square miles at night which fed the ducks. The summer heat was to much for the rabbits but they multiplied in the crawl space under the concrete school house. The girls room was the goat barn and the boys room was the milking parlor. The coat room was the feeder pigs pen.
This is so exciting for you
Looks like I discovered your channel at a perfect transition time.... Looking forward to watching :)
Hopefully your new land is already perimeter fenced & posted "No hunting/trespassing" - if there are loads of hunters around there, many don't pay attention to signs, I'd get orange vests for Luna and Ladybug because they are pretty much the same color as a deer...
Your new land has been "ignored" for many years, so the soil is probably once again clean enough to be organic.
congrats! im in Ct also and we are sick of this tax infested state! looking into east Tennessee!
