Love you guys! Isn't it wonderful to make new friends! I haven't crossed over the "M Bridge" in a very long time. I grew up in Memphis and lived there again for several years before moving here to Mississippi. That view of the bridge brought back fond memories. I sincerely hope to see you next March at the Deep South Gathering hosted by Deep South Homestead, Danny and Wanda King. This past year it was more of just a meet and greet with just a few speakers. Don't know if they have bigger plans, but it sure was fun to meet like-minded people. I'd love to meet you and person and give you a huge hug!
Im new to your channel an you are so inspiring.Its my dream to live in the country an have a garden an time to spend with family an the simple pleasures of life .God bless you
Yes you are at one of the most beautiful places in North Carolina. I used to own a blueberry farm just a few miles from where Art & Bri live. You will see stunning vistas and sites galore there! I miss my farm there so very much! Welcome to North Carolina! You will never forget being here! Journey On!
This is such an encouraging message. We are SO close to finally realizing our dream to homestead (sometime next year, hopefully), and I plan to share the journey of starting from scratch here on YouTube, but it's sort of intimidating to think that my viewers would see me as more of an icon/symbol than a person. It's so encouraging to see that y'all are still just people, because it encourages me that I can still just be a person once I get there too. It's also just so fun for me watching you go to these conferences and stuff and see all the excitement you have and the sort of fangirl giddiness. I see myself so much when I watch you, and it encourages me that I can do this one day too. Thank you for sharing your life and for answering so many of my fears with truths!
Awesome video. Hope to meet you guys one day!
Wait, what? All my faves in one video ? Only the Fouch family is missing! Love it!
Lovely moments captured. Sweet family and beautiful country for sure.
The Carolinas are beautiful…love Arkansas too…I am Missouri girl through and through…but you know wherever a person settles and grows roots…there is beauty there too….
All of you are such great inspiration…. every day I ask myself "what would I do if I wasn't afraid…" The answer is the same – and yet I haven't taken the leap.
The honor was ours! Please come for a longer visit and we take you to the tops of the mountains! -Bri
That is awesome you all were able to visit them! As someone who (while we have chickens, a dog, and a barn in much need of more animals), I feel I "watch from the sidelines without a channel" AND/BUT I think it is simply amazing the community that has organically grown among homesteaders. Love it. Thanks for all the inspirations, thoughts, ideas, and help!
Behind on these videos. I adore Art and Bri and I adore your channel. Such a sweet combo. Thank you both for sharing some of your time together.
LOL And did I hear you say you dont touch fuzzy catapilars? That's funny to me. But I can't talk, I'm not afraid of any spiders except those slight non frightening basement spiders.
art and bri are amazing so is justin and rebecca i found them so long ago and now with you and miah its a great trio hugssssssss
Few people get to live in awe of their reality so that is a pretty amazing feeling if you do.
You're in my state of NC! Yes…it's beautiful from the coast to the mountains!
I love seeing those freckles under your eyes
I already love your cousin and I'm only 30 seconds in ❤️❤️
Such realness and rawness…it inspires me and puts me in awe watching the beauty of the world through others eyes. Friends are such a blessing and we are so happy to see those friendships you find through the camera lens for us to see and experience.
Being an Arkansas girl my self, I love how you ended the video!! Listening to the guitar music really makes me want to learn to play!
farm kids unite <3
I love Art & Bri’s Farm beautiful beautiful countryside view is outstanding ❤️❤️
I once had cats just like Art & Bri's cats they were named Calvin and Hobbes. Love this trip thank-you you! Just found you around April so binge watching your older videos.
Glad you enjoyed North Carolina. I live in Asheboro NC. I feel about it the way you feel about Arkansas. Love you all. Bless you
Art Bri’s property is so beautiful in from a flat state so no mountains here but I’m always so amazed by them
As I watch this video 2 years later, you are at 407k subscribers. I pray the Lord takes that number well past 500k this year to further your future homesteading dreams.
Amazing my sister lives in Front Royal. SC sisters ❤️
"I don't know that we will ever leave the state of Arkansas" .. LOL. If only you knew!!
