Chapters
Okay, happy day everyone. We are extra or special or really good at staying healthy on the road. We take our own water, take our own toys, air purifier, kitchen equipment, Yeti coolers full of our own meat and broth and all kinds of goodness. Becky made some waffles, butter. 7 hours later, we can go. Mr. Henry, he did good. Only one little pissy fit. Oh, stiff. Becky, you're a mean driver. GPS said we'd be here at what time?
4:45 this morning.
That's if we didn't stop. You made it here at 5:10 with a 45-minute stop. No, and a gas fill-up. Stopped twice. I don't know what view I like better, the view of the pasture or the river. What's y'all's hurry?
We want to see it!
I get to go first.
Is this how old people—
And we're all gonna walk real slow.
Yeah, Henry.
Oh, even Jonah's getting in on this. Yeah, you gotta take off your one shoe. Let me get on the couch.
There's cats for a bedroom upstairs.
They've already been up and down. There's gonna be a bathtub up there!
Huge! Lily, come see the bathroom up here. It's gigantic.
Whoa, I claim this one. Look at this. Good job, Beck.
Oh, wait, there's a soccer thing in.
Heck yeah, I can kick y'all's butt at foosball. Look at the jacuzzi down here. You guys can read the books. Read some books.
Go away! Read some books!
What?
The water's way closer. Oh my goodness, Papa, these stairs!
You know, it's good to get away from the farm. This is kind of a workcation. Work vacation. Came up a day early so we have tomorrow off before the event, and then we're gonna leave a day late so we have the day off.
Papa, I'm gonna go see the river bug!
All right, and it's a good break. Kind of that burnout season of the fall, and it gives us strength till the natural rest of the winter, the natural break that comes with winter. Whoa, Grandma and Grandpa want the room with the view or the room down on the main level? Well, we'll sleep up here then, bud. Grandma and Grandpa, the main level.
You guys the main level, and then you can just—
and then if the kids need somebody during the middle of the night, they can go to Big Daddy. No. Second thought, we have so much stuff, and Henry—
and Henry, I would be afraid he would— might fall down these stairs. No, you guys don't fall down.
We'll go on the main store. I'm pretty safe if you can grab this handle, which Henry can't do. It's the next day. I broke another 3-day fast last night. I would like to say I had as good of results as the first time. I didn't quite. But I'm not breaking back into just anything either. Doing a GAPS intro. Just meat. Just boiled meat, basically. And broth. How was the night last night?
Not very good. The bed's like hard. It wasn't the best, but—
What's wrong? You didn't sleep good?
Yeah.
Did you sleep good, Lily?
I didn't sleep very good. You know why? 'Cause the bed was like hard. Like hard. It's really rough. Like hard, hard.
What are y'all playing? Battleship. Looks like you're in trouble. Yeah, lost a couple of ships. You guys ready to get your butt kicked?
I want your kick, huh?
Well, first, first, me versus them two. That's a quick point for them. I won.
Okay, 7 to 10.
You guys actually did a little better than I thought. Okay. Now me and Lily versus y'all. Okay. That's not a good start.
That almost stopped it.
Lily, we have 9. Yeah. They have 6.
Yeah.
Okay, I'm going to play you with one hand.
No, you're not.
So that I can film.
Okay.
Okay, we're going to put a mean spin on it. Oh, it almost went in.
Boo!
Oh dear. Oh, they scored on themselves! The last point. The kids are wanting to show me the river. Apparently there's kayaks down there. Yeah, yeah. Okay, we're gonna go. Hey, we're gonna get you out there, Jonah. Yeah, he's wanting me to help him get into the boat. Gideon wants me to go on a boat with him. It should be fun. It's getting crazy. Single track, steep. Get around with those crutches. Get this out of the way. I think you load right here. On this end dock and shove in. We got his, uh, safety vest on in case, so I don't think it'd probably be hard to swim with that leg brace on, huh? Yeah, here I am. Here you go. Don't say can't, say how can I. Next up. Redmond's is throwing a mixer, giving us a dinner.
I want to see if they have Redmond's salt.
Oh, you know it. I do? I'm pretty sure because it's a Redmond's event. But first, we've got to go drop off our books at the event, and we'll check out our booth. You kids haven't seen our booth yet. Well, Mom, you haven't seen our booth yet.
No, I haven't seen the new tent.
Yeah, man, it's jamming. Look at there. How's it like to see us on a cardboard? Weird. How are we gonna flow?
So what I wanted to do was I want to have them line that way, and then they're gonna come— I have to make them talk to me, and then they're just gonna come wait here. So then they come in here. Buy another one of these.
And where are the people? We're here taking selfies. Yeah, behind that. Look at you, you're good.
Because I was also—
and that's an exit. I don't know how many of those walker things we have, but if the line could zigzag somehow, then people meet each other while they're waiting in line. Then we have a sense of community.
Yeah. I can try to pick. I have 6 of those.
We just drove through the boonies and we are there. You ready to eat, Mr. Henry? You ready to eat? Shawn and Beth Doherty.
Hi, Beth.
Hey. How are y'all? I'm Harvey. Hey, Justin.
Nice to meet you, Justin.
Hello. So are you. It's so good to see you. Look who's back. Hilda. What's going on, Hilda?
I'm so glad to be here. It's a little pre-party.
You travel. You get around, girl. I know.
I was just in France and I was like, but I'm not gonna miss HOA. Party vive francais.
Good party you're throwing. How'd you find this house?
Airbnb, and so logistically we're like, oh crap, it is far away. We hope people are okay with that.
Yeah.
But it's a beautiful drive.
It is. It is beautiful. It's remote.
So glad you guys could join us tonight.
My name's Harvey Scott. I'm with Redmond.
I've been with Redmond about almost 8 years now. And you guys all know Julie. So thanks to Julie for all the work that she does to do this.
Poor crying. Oh, Doug, how you doing, buddy? All right, good. Well, it must have been good. You must have killed it, my man. You're the Redmond Chef? Yep. You work for them full-time? Yes. What do you do full-time for them? What does that job look like?
Well, um, I get to travel with them and do fun things like this and cook for awesome people like yourself.
Homesteaders America, day one! You getting excited, Vic? We are up at dark and early. Lily's going with us. Boys are staying here, they'll catch up later. You see, Lily had the idea to sell jewelry here 2 years ago. It got canceled in 2020. This is your year, babe. You got your little jewelry.
It's a year in the making.
And she's quite the businesswoman, uh, Grandma said. She said she's been calculating how much she spent, which is what, $71?
$70.
$70. So you realize you're gonna have to earn that plus more to make money?
Yeah, I know.
It's pretty smart. I like it. Our little entrepreneur back there. No line, we got right in. They're really pulling people in efficiently. I am so nervous. 3 new things I got to do today, one that I've never done in my life. So one We're introducing a speaker, a sponsor. So Abundance Plus is sponsoring, introducing Jill. Two, we're having a showing of Abundance Plus during lunch, two shows. So introing that and just showing our shows in front of lots of people. And three, we have other contributors, Jessica Sowards and Jill Wiener, coming to our tent for meetups. So my hope is the tent is just going to be jamming all day long. And I don't know why that makes me so nervous. That one doesn't make me so nervous. I'm most nervous about introducing Jill. Very excited about the new addition for speakers. Speaker's bathroom. Very excited. Check it out! Lock on the door, sink, urinal. Or A, I like it. Amy, Homesteaders of America, good job. A few minutes later. All right, that was nice, super nice.

I know.
We got Australian retirees from the military all the way from Australia. It's 10:30 at night right there.
Wait, how long have you been on in this in this time zone?
Uh, yeah.
Wow.
Well, look, they're full-grown adults, no kids.
I know, they can sleep.
They just go outside. Oh, are they with you? They're not with us. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, that's why you can do this.
Okay, so they're in Mountain Shake Family Farms, and we just here back in September become the Spotted Pig, and we are farm-to-table food truck, and whatever we grow is sourced on the truck.
Do you have the Spotted food truck here?
No.
We wish.
Okay, next year maybe. It's a first. They had me sign somebody else's book, so that was weird. But there it is. I like it. It's okay to be weird. We gotta embrace that as homesteaders. You're crazy, but that's okay. Doesn't mean we're wrong, right? Here comes the energy. Here comes the energy.

I know, but look, girl, I was so excited. You know I was the first one saw you last year, right?
I was so excited. I saw you walking by and see us and you went and got online. I appreciate We're here with Justin and Rebecca Rhodes. If you had advice to give new homesteaders or people wanting to learn how to garden and homestead, are you going to answer this, Beck? What would your advice— piece of advice? Yeah, I got two words for you: just plants. Just do it. Just plant. Just stop studying and just go do what you just studied. Another two words: kale.
No, don't plant kale though.
Kale's good. It's totally overrated. So what did you choose?
I chose a little bracelet that said kind.
And, and, and why did you choose that? It's cute. Yeah, love it. Good job. You having a good sale so far? Okay, good. Yeah, first time doing meat birds because of us. You did how many?
I did 50.
How long did it take?
2 months.
How much weight did you get?
Like 369 pounds.
I'm telling you, see, Mom's They're the chainsaw livestock animals.
Yes, and I saved the livers, the hearts, the backs, the necks. I'm not really sure what to do with all that, but I'll figure it out.
Okay, you will. You'll figure it out. Good job. You might be a crazy chicken lady if you have a chicken purse.
You have a chicken bag. I love it.
Oh my gosh. I love it. What's up with you? What's wrong with you?
I don't know. Kelly Ripa hat.
Hey! Justin mini-me. I like it. I've done something right when I realized somebody could dress up as Justin for Halloween.
You know, it's a good role model to have. We appreciate it.
So thank you.
Chefie's Justin Rhodes. Yep.
What'd she say?
Chefie's Justin Rhodes.
Oh, okay. All right. Yep. All right. I love it. I love it. What an honor.
Awesome.
Rebecca and I are meeting people. Jess has come. They're getting to meet both of us. And look at the line. Jess is bringing a crowd. We just met a bunch of people, loved it. And now we need to step away, go see the sites, go to the bathroom. And Jess has taken over. It's great. That's what Abundance Plus is supposed to be, a network. And that's what's happening. Taking a little break in the speaker's tent. Look who's here. Lily, how much have you sold?
Uh, most of my stuff.
Did you make money yet?
Yeah.
Oh, you covered your expenses? It looks like you might. Looks like you might have $80 in there. Split it with me. No.
I made $178.
What? So that means you're $100 in the profit already.
Yeah, $178.
Sweet! Good job, honey. And you're not even done. All of us feel so lonely and isolated throughout the year, and then you come together with a bunch of other crazy chicken ladies and you feel totally normal. We have some goals. Well, we got Heckle Joe at Premier One. We've got to go see— there's a member in Abundance Plus that has a homeschool booth. She did homeschool curriculum. She was inspired. She came through our line last, last year and was inspired to do this business after talking with us. And now it's here today having a booth. Tubes.
And I want to go to the raw milk. I need a new raw milk shirt.
She found them in the directory. Now to the map.
That's a big milk bucket.
Maybe that's a pig scrap bucket. Oh, you want to get that? Dude, we should get that to replace it because our handle's falling off our pig bucket. You like that?
Yeah, I think it's electric.
Yeah, one day if we have a dairy, keep that permanently on a side-by-side. Next up, we got some Lifetime members. Have you listed your soap in the marketplace?
I have, yes.
Has it sold anything?
Not yet, but I only have like 2 bars, so I don't have all this.
Members, you got to get an Abundance Plus and check out the marketplace. Non-members, where do they go?
Uh, they go to www.adraciofarms.com.
Okay, it smells delicious in here. You make your own soaps?
Yes, we do, with our own milk.
Your own goats?
Yes, we do.
Oh my goodness, you're living the nightmare or dream, which Which one is it, the dream or the nightmare?
It depends if they've escaped that day.
Cross fingers for the farm sitters. Oh, devil eyes straight up. The raw milk guys. Do I see a chickshaw? I see a chickshaw. Pretty cool. How heavy is this thing? Not bad, not bad. Auto door, I like it.
I always watch you on our— all right, we have You on our TV!
Yes! Yes! You came by our booth last year and what happened?
Um, I came up to you and said I have this idea and I wanted to create homestead-themed learning resources and you said, do you have any of the product yet? And I said, it's in my brain. And you said, get it together. It's a great idea. Send it to me when you're ready. And within a week we went home and we started with the ABC cards. So we started with the ABC cards and then it just slowly developed more and more. People started asking for other things and, and now we have the Farm School Co.
Cute! How classy!
Look at this stuff. All of the illustrations are done by me.
Yay!
Then we brought in some educators to write some of the curriculum and slowly rolling out.
It's all a home farmstead-based curriculum.
Yes. So at the Farm School Co., F isn't for fish, it's for fermentation. O isn't for octopus, it's for opal. So—
oh nice, I like it. Yeah, they got a journal.
Okay. Yeah, this actually—
let's buy that.
That's brand new.
No, you didn't. So let's buy 4 of those. So what's your best seller?
Probably right now the garden journals. People love the garden.
Really?
And that's new?
Okay. And you, you put yourself in the Marketplace on Abundance Plus?
Yes, we are.
Okay, good.
Right away.
Okay, good. So folks can find it there if they're members. If not, where do they go?
We also have a 10% coupon off for your Abundance Plus members.
Abundance Plus members get 10% off.
Yeah.
And if they're not members, they'd be on the car stickers.
They can.
Oh boy. What sticker do you like?
Well, I'm trying to decide which one I want. So they have these—
they've got jars.
I know, I kind of like that.
They just have a straight up jar. I like The straight-up jar.
Like, I like it.
So classy.
JonesRoots.com.
Okay, cool.
It's all on our website.
Cool. Keep it up, guys.
So do you like this one? It says love, liver, liver, yolk, cream, and lard.
I like it.
Instead of, you know, the world would be a better place, wouldn't it? Yeah, every girl can dream, right?
Yeah. Wouldn't be going to an event without heckling Joe. We gotta figure out Some sort of complaint. I know, uh, some sort of chickens. You don't keep a running list. The fits ain't working and everybody's getting out. Oh, Justin, you set it up again, didn't you? Oh, he was ready for that. You having a good show, Joe? Yes. How can you tell? Uh, I haven't had time to be quiet. Okay, so it's been a good show. Good, keeping busy. Good for you, you guys deserve it. Just had an Abundance Plus showing in the big tent, big meetup too. I wonder if Jess is still trucking. People are crazy for Jess. Look at that, she's still got a big old line. We got another crazy chicken lady test. You might be a crazy chicken lady if you have chicken earrings. Beautiful. You just might be a crazy chicken lady if you're wearing chickens on your ears. Okay, look at these earrings. Egg basket. Oh, y'all together?
Yeah, that's why I said the chicken or the eggs.
You might be a crazy chicken lady if— if you hug your chicken. Have you ever hugged a chicken? I hug them, hold them. I usually get pecked. You know, you might be a crazy chicken lady. I can accept that. Pasture-raised, not pasteurized. Turn around. Oh, is that your stick? What does it say? Narrow Path Enjoyer. That's your YouTube? That's my YouTube. Okay, 11 subscribers strong. Let's help him. Maybe 12, maybe 13 by now. I've been handing out some stuff. I've been getting some fresh content up there, buddy. Yo, bro, I bet some of you know him. 1.3 million. Yeah, yeah, we're doing all right, we're doing all right. I'm about to hit a million. We're gonna be in the middle together.
That's awesome.
That's okay. It's Warrior Warrior Poet Society. It's us, man. I get to see people in the comments. Oh, you met my favorite other YouTuber! I like to see you two together. And we're together. Let's do some more stuff. Yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah, we're hanging out. We're doing the homestead. I want you to contribute some of your amazing content. Yeah, well, I'm learning from you. Gun use and all kinds of stuff. I'm learning. I'm going to learn from you. Rebecca and I just wrapped up our meetup again, and look, look what Jill has done. A lot of Jill lovers too.
Awesome. Thank you.
And somebody just came and told me that you did the best talk they've heard.
Oh, that was very nice.
And I think so, giving this line.
It's a good line.
Everybody wants to meet you.
There'll be nobody over there.
I know, I know. You never know. You never know. But look who's roping us in.
So we have right here, these are $3.50 for 18, the 18-pack that we have, right? And we just cooked them butter, nothing else, just right there on the cast iron. And then these are from a homestead about 15 minutes away. Good organic feed, everybody's happy, all the happy chicken stuff. Now the question is, I will— can you take a bite of each and tell the difference when you're wearing this blindfold? Wow, Lily looks traumatized by this whole concept right now.
You spent some time on that blindfold.
Yeah, I was sitting in my driveway all Wednesday waiting for the spray paint, putting the layers on. Yeah, exactly.
You put some love into these videos, that's why you're so popular. Do you know how you did? Does he tell you?
Oh yeah, he tells you.
Oh, he tells you.
She almost ate a live chicken too.
He did almost put a chick in my mouth.
I'll watch you back, I'll spot you. Okay, and they're all cooked the exact same way?
Exact same way. Control, scientific. All right, you not like it or you just suck?
She's afraid she got the— okay, okay, give me the other one. We are, we are stringent.
Okay, apparently way more stringent than— all right, you ready?
Way more stringent, yes.
Okay, here comes the second one.
It feels so weird. Open, Mama.
Ew. Okay, yeah. Oh, you—
whoa, whoa, that was quick.
The first one is the homestead one.
You can't tell her the results yet though.
I'll wait for Justin to do it. I'll tell you both your results at the same time.
So she thinks the first one. Because she ate it more. She spent more time on it.
It wasn't.
She spent more time on it. She spent more time. She's seeing the color. She knows. Based on the visual. It's obvious.
Chugga chugga chugga choo choo! So that's the first one.
All right, I think I got it.
Uh-oh.
Oh, the confidence melts away. All right, I got you. It's the second one is the home fresh corn. Fail! Oh my gosh, man, like big box store.
Wow, that was intense, man. I did not think I tricked both of you out.
I wasn't going on taste, I was going on texture and rubbery. It was more rubbery, it was more—
they were, they were cool.
They're also cold. See, I got it off texture. They didn't taste too terribly different, like they were both similar, but I— second one has an aftertaste, man, and I I can tell because the homestead ones were a lot firmer.
Did you win?
She did!
You're on a streak! You won the tomato one too.
I did.
You could tell from the tomatoes.
So often people make such a big deal of, oh, the differences between the two, and you boil it down to what are the differences. And when you look at it, right, the visual is so clear. There's like not even a question of it.
All day.
And as you start to look at the taste, most people preferred and could call out— most people, sorry— when you start to think about it, right? Picture these hens. They're growing up in a warehouse. They're not setting foot outside. They probably aren't even leaving a battery cage. Versus if you think about these, they're living at Kaylee's house in her backyard, and they're eating the scraps from her garden, living the happiest possible life. And so when you think about the dimensions of what makes a difference between a homestead, home fresh egg versus a factory farmed egg. You got to recognize taste is one dimension, but there's a whole lot of other things that come.
That's right. Yeah, exactly. It makes such a difference. I will say that farm-grown, homestead-grown food is not always tastier than what you can get at the grocery store. That's a good point. It's not always. Now tomatoes, it is.
Yeah, 100%. But sometimes grapes—
try grown grapes at home.
I'll even say it took me a while to appreciate grass- grass-fed beef versus corn-fattened beef, because I mean, it tastes—
so you have to accept that, that maybe it's not going to be as tasty because it's not all day over, like, homegrown all day over. And this is perfection. See, yeah, the chickens are a certain age, they have it dialed.
Well, it's machine production, and so yes, they can get something that's decent and consistent. And heck, if you threw some Tabasco or vegetables into it, you wouldn't mind it. But when you start to think about the true difference and why this is better, it makes a big, big difference.
Big difference. That was fun.
Yeah, thanks for playing, guys.
That is Morgan, Gold Shaw Farm. When's this video come out?
Oh, this video's probably been a week or two.
What's it gonna be called? Already, I know you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know you already have the thumbnail.
Can I fool— can I fool homesteaders with factory eggs?
Yes, the answer is yes, but don't tell anybody. We want them to click on the video. We are back home. Big day, 12-hour later. She's making tzatziki sauce. What a meal! Tzatziki, pita bread fried— we've recently found out that's the way to do it— and then salad. For me, I'm actually surprised. I actually think these meatballs held together. Rebecca, you don't need no— you don't need no stinking binder.
Well, the egg is the binder.
Oh, you don't need no stinking grain binder. I put some shards of bacon in it and I think it works. I got that in the short ribs. Oh my word, everybody's asking, how you doing? What do you say to them? I'm good. All right, I say you're pain-free, going to the doctor in 3 weeks, seeing if you can put weight on it in 3 weeks. I see what you go for first, cheese. Now he's going for the good stuff. Stuff. Laid back. Happy day. It's another day. It's second day. Home. What's the plan today, Morgan? We just had breakfast.
We're gonna be walking around, hanging out, watching more talks, seeing more folks.
Make eggs for people?
No, I'm not making eggs. I'll be asking questions. If people see me, you probably can get one of these buttons.
I'll have these. Hopefully a bunch of people got the buttons. Yeah, it was It's good having breakfast with you, and we're gonna head over there.
Yeah, let's do it.
Let's do it. My wife Sarah.
Hello.
Hi guys, it's nice to meet you. She is a role model. You are her role model.
Yeah, I am not a role model, but—
Rebecca, you got a big turnout already. You still got 15 minutes.
This is awful.
Were you hoping nobody would show up?
Yes, I was hoping no one would show up.
Is that worse? Yeah, no, you got a big crowd. Look at her, she's excited. You excited? I am very excited. Make eye contact with her.
Is she nervous?
Oh yeah, she'll talk to you all day long one-on-one, but not on stage. Oh, I understand that.
GMOs, obviously we don't want to be putting genetically modified ingredients into our body. Why, why do you, you know, why do you think that we would want to do that?
You did so good. You were much more relaxed.
I did better, I did better.
That helps that you were relaxed. You're just sitting on the table telling jokes, being real. That's what people like about you. You're just real.
You're welcome.
Thank you. You're like, do this point, but it sucks.
I know, it does.
Like cold plunge, but you're going to hate it.
You're going to hate it.
You weren't like this textbook, everything's pretty.
Yeah, no.
I want you guys to see this. They're doing the Q&A right now. Uh, I'm Joe Putnam with, uh, Premier Wood Supplies, and I have the privilege of introducing Justin Rhodes. But But before I call him up here, he's asked me to talk about Premiere a little bit. So thanks, Justin, I appreciate that. Woo! We got zipper pulled up, and the shirts are hanging out. Thanks, Joe. You guys watch the show? You want to be in the show? Well, scream and holler, act like you're still excited at the end of the day! Woo! All right, all right, you're in the vlog, you're in the vlog. How'd the talk go, Beck?
It went good. You did a really good job.
What do you think people learned?
That you really don't like kale and that we had a goat. Oh, and to say no. We admitted to a goat. To say no to free animals, or to say no if you, um, also— well, say no to free animals anyways, but kale no. But then also say no to, um, to it if it doesn't make your goal.
Yeah, to whatever. If you don't like it, don't like kale, don't grow it. Don't grow kale just because it's cool. Great meetup. It was good to meet all you wonderful people that came. I hope I can meet the rest of you guys somewhere. Oh, look, deer and a moon coming up. Well, it's 7 o'clock. Henry went to bed an hour ago. Mom just went to bed. I'm gonna get this footage off. I'm gonna go to bed. Thanks for joining us. Love you guys. Appreciate you guys so much. Good night. Next one, back on the farm, back at it.
