“I’ve got the coolest boys in the world”…. Spoken by the world’s proudest Papa 😊

I love how focused and interested in getting the chores done the kids are and how well they know the routine and how to take care of the animals. Gideon is just a pure joy to see. I think becoming a big brother has helped him mature.

A little bit of homesteading and a lot of sell, sell sell!

I have been watching your channel since you were carrying Mr. Brown around on your back. I happened across your videos on chickens and was hooked. I have enjoyed watching you and your family and farm grow. You have so much useful information and very entertaining. Thank you. I have been praying for your son. God's healing touch for his up coming surgery.

I always wondered why it was call the holler house and not the Rhodes good to know😊😊😊

That area where you are trying to grow squash lolks like the wood chips are pulling your nitrogen there. That would explain the yellowing of the leaves as well. A cover crop would be amazing there to replenish nitrogen in the area. 😊

That was just lovely ❤️ You both have raised such beautiful humans. Seeing little Lilly in the kitchen and your big boys out on the farm on machines 😳 and Gideon really coming into his own. All that patience and love is paying off so visibly. Young Henry is growing so fast 🥰 and what an enthusiastic helper.
Such a pleasure to watch. Well done to you all ❤️❤️❤️

Love how you guys have made the cabin your home even if it is just temporary 🥰

Yo tambien = Me too
Tambien = Also or Too

Great video, Justen. It does not happen all at once that is for sure. The term you were looking for when you were talking about children, the business of the homestead and your needs was coined by Jim Rohn, “Enlightened self interest.”

[Willows]

Henry is growing so fast and such a ham. I looking forward to the Hollar building

[debrasnyder]

Hope Jonah has surgery soon. Sending prayers 🙏

Always enjoy you videos, Justin. You have an awesome farm, and an amazing family. God Bless you all, from Southeast Texas!

Hello. I have very much enjoyed watching ur family over the last 3 plus years since I have became disabled from a serious illness. When u said u didn't know how the weeds r growing so well in the little green house, I was thinking it was acting like a terrarium pulling the moisture up from the ground. I know ground plants grow better because they pull water from the ground and don't just get water from above. Thank u so much for sharing ur lives with ur YouTube family. B

We did a food collection of same day expiring food. It was to support people in need because a lot could be frozen and used as needed. One thing I thought was what if the salad bags (which you couldn't eat, it was too far gone) went to feed pigs. There's so much food waste but pork could be the answer.

Really enjoyed this. Very entertaining! 👍😂🤣😂👏👏👏

You do have the coolest boys in the world, Justin! You also have the best daughter and the sweetest wife! And you have an amazing homestead with such a history of hard work and love of the land. Rebekah, I used to listen to Dr. Laura Schlessinger, too, and really enjoyed how she would take people to task. I didn't know she was even still on the air.

🇦🇺Print a recipe book for each of your kids. I done this a few years ago for my grandchildren. I collected favourite recipes from my mum and each of my girls, husband as well. Appetisers, main meals and desserts. Now they will always have it. I personalised it with their name, Brodie’s recipe book 1. I’m in the process of making another one for Christmas gifts.

With the cottage you are currently living in, I hope you have another door that opens in case of emergency. I hope the front door is not your only exit

[CrystalsSimplySweetTreats]

I would add freezer alarms to the freezers below the construction area. It will notify you if the temp raises above freezing. I would hate to see you loose that much meat 😮

[allonesame]

Hey, Justin. It's interesting how you interpret and implement "permaculture".
