Thx for sharing. I’ll be passing this on to my Gen Zers! Happy, happy birthday! I know it will be as you spend it on your bounteous land in your beautifully-crafted Amish barn with your bunnies, chickens and cats! 🎂 🥳🎉

I've been so inspired by your homesteading journey, and I can't wait to see what 2025 has in store for you!! Meanwhile, I'm watching, reading, planning and preparing for starting my own little eastern Pennsylvania homestead...hopefully not too far off!

:) It gives a whole new meaning to "Farm around and find out"

I'll be learning and taking action. Thank you for your continuous efforts and for sharing it.

I’m very excited to have purchased 6.7 acres this year and it already had a two story well built “garage” on it. Five acres had been farmed for years but with your input I’ve connected with USDA and have the ball rolling for next grant period to have pollinator plants, protective trees and vegetables. It’s on a creek with a 20 foot waterfall as well. My son is creating his woodworking shop in the building and will eventually build a small house by the waterfall which has a woods there for privacy and protection. We have plans for beekeeping and bunnies. It’s actually in Village, on boundary to Town but we hope to have chickens if we can get a variance.

I’m so grateful for your research and reporting. You have lit a fire under us with all of the helpful information you share. I’m telling everyone the story of the farmland situation in this country and will do my best to get more young people into having some land.

Happy Birthday Alex. It’s a year to celebrate for all your accomplishments and spreading your enthusiasm and information to others. All the best!!!

Happy birthday. Have you seen or read a Bold Return to Givinga Damn by Will Harris II? It addresses some of the topics you write about. I'm learning a lot from it.
