So cool to see all children not on their phones, but helping with all preparations!

Justin, at some point, could you do "The story of Arune (sp?)" It would be neat to know how he came to the farm, what his arrangement was, and if he always planned to go home. Thanksgiving blessings, g.

So happy to see hay, and even grass in the rabbit cages, it will provide enrichment, and improve their overall happiness, and health. Definitely a step in the right direction. Happy Thanksgiving!

Because of you Justin, my daughter and I raised and processed 20 Cornish cross chickens this summer and that's what we are having for our Thanksgiving dinner a roasted chicken plus canned green beans from our garden.

Glad to see the rabbits got some hay to bed on. I bet Jonah could make some nice boxes for them to climb in to sleep and lay on top of for rest from the wire. Happy to see the improvement.

We are on the way back to Charleston from Tennessee and we passed through y’all’s area and I told my two boys, 6 and 4, this is where Justin Rhodes lives and they freaked out. The oldest one wanted know why we didn’t just come see y’all lol. Thanks for all you guys do!! Our whole family adores every member of the family! We can’t wait to watch the new videos together.

Love how you two involve the children and how the children really help. They will very likely grow up to be independent, responsible, resilient, and very productive adults. Little Henry keeps the smiles going too, ha, ha. Happy Thanksgiving!

Justin, I cooked my turkey in the oven this year with bacon on top, it was so juicy and so good, I will never cook my turkey any other way again, thank you for showing us that way

[erinnstreeter]

On year, I made smoked broth, it was pretty great. We would use it as a base in things like chili, rustic chicken and wild rice soup, as a braising liquid for pulled pork in the Instant Pot - anything we could think of that could accommodate that smoky flavor.
