We just want to thank you all so much from the bottom of our hearts for being here 💗 Whether you’re an OG subscriber, or a new viewer. This crazy story of ours was so fun & nostalgic to look back on & compile a video of the last four years. Our time back home in Boston for the last month has been so amazing seeing family & friends & preparing for the BIG day & this next chapter of ours in about a month 👶🏼 (But we’re missing our Lolas Farm family SO MUCH) Hope you’re all having an amazing Labor Day, & we’ll see you guys next week where we show you what we’ve been up to these last few weeks 🥰

I love how many times I’ve heard “our” and “ours” and “we”. That’s a true team. A true union

Build my home in the woods 55 years ago and still living in it. And no mortgage and loving it.

I am literally crying from the beautiful story of this adventure! You are such lovely souls and the way you are truly living out the idea of "community"... giving away pieces of land, stewarding what you have, helping Rodrigo build his A frame.... wow. Thank you for showing the world how to be human.

You two remind me so much of my husband and I in our years together. We did everything together, so much so that he still thinks I’m an extension of him. He’s been my mate for the past 43 years. We’re now in the Virgin Islands and are planning on moving back to Dominica where we can grow our own foods. Here in St Croix there’s not much rain so our crops don’t thrive as we expected. Good luck.

My husband and I couldn’t even build a party tent without getting a divorce. So good for you guys!!

Jordan and Kaylee, the work on the structures is impressive, but your greatest achievement is the lives you changed on the farm. You have given hope to so many trapped in poverty. You have improved their lives forever, this will be your legacy after every construction piece is done.

I normally don’t watch vlogs that last longer than 5 minutes but this definitely kept things exciting and I couldn’t stop. Excited to watch y’all’s others and see what the future has in store

You guys need an outside communal cooking area for everyone on the farm, for when you all want to cook feasts together!!! That would be awesome!! Equipped with a grill, stove, who knows brick oven, etc...also a huge picnic table for the community!

Edit: it would have to be a covered pavilion since you never know about the rain!!

I started watching yall at a really rough time in my life ... and yall taught me how to take everything one step at a time and just keep swimming... such an amazing family yall are! Cheers.

I've been watching you're videos from the very very beginning. The bus build, the first test trip to Michigan, way way back. When I found your channel, I was newly sober. I had lived nomadically and had unhealed trauma which ended up in bad addiction issues. Finding your channel was a lifeline. Your grit, spirit, authenticity and humor lured me in. And the journey has kept me around.
I don't think I've ever commented even though I've watched every single one of your videos. But like others, this one is special and I'm feeling the need to make my voice heard.
I want to thank you for existing, just as you are, and creating real magic in this world.
My recovery journey started just as your journey did and something in that has helped me to feel fully connected to and invested in y'all.
In the time that y'all have accomplished these amazing things, I have become an herbalist and am working on converting a cargo trailer into a camper and apothecary. I struggle with energy and focus so my projects are coming along a lot slower than yours. But I'm finding my way and have found the thing that I want to do for the rest of my life (finally!) which is work with plant medicine. Land is my eventual goal.

Basically, I'm writing to let you know that you've had my attention for years. I've been giving you energy and love. Watching you grow truly has been an inspiration. And maybe we'll cross paths one day... I can't wait to hug you when that day comes.

It's so joyous that you found a community and are building a clan. Makes me tear up a bit. Much love

I'm so happy for you guys 💞 I have been trying for years to find like minded people who understand the need for affordable tiny housing that is also environmentally conscious. There are so many single moms/dad's families in need of simple housing that they can "own" and can be beautiful, efficient, and affordable! Thank you for inspiring me and everyone else that the impossible IS possible and we aren't alone in this journey. God Bless you all!🙏💞

This is such a beautiful gift for your little one. She'll be able to see your dedication and passion and know that Lola's Farm is a true legacy!

This couple was the first Van lifers that i subscribed to.

Ive followed their journey. Nomadic Movement : when they visited Panama with Trent & Allie.


Met other Van lifers: Eamon and Bec and Trent and Allie. Both couples have also set down roots.

Trent & Allie also have a little baba on the way.

In a way its like being a mamma watching her children grow, adventure, set down roots and start the next generations.

What a privilege and a joy.
I thank these couples for openly sharing some of their life.

Looking forward to the next season.

This has to be one of the most fascinating, interesting and engaging videos that the YouTube algorithm has recommended to me. I watched the whole video in one sitting! You two are truly an inspiration. Congrats on your dreams coming true and the expansion of your family! Can’t wait to see what the future holds for Lola’s Farm ❤️

[cassandravenegas]

I'm a newcomer and I'm so proud of y'all. God bless you and your "family" at Lolas Farm. ❤

[janepagel]

I’ve watched you guys for a long time! I don’t comment a lot but always check off how much I’ve enjoyed coming along on your adventures. I know this was a lot of hard work editing to make this so thought I needed to come on here and thank you for all the wonderful adventures shared! You guys are the Rainbow in this Pandemic Storm…thank you for the glimpse into your loving, fulfilled and happy life! God Bless on the birth of your baby and hurry back “home”❣️

[christic]

I love the care that you put into making the Lola sign. It’s obvious how much you love each other, your critters, your friends and your land. Great job♥️

I watched this yesterday morning and then watched about 10 hours of previous videos. I am loving watching the life you are building! Anyone else fall in love 2 min into the video??
