2 YEARS of HOMESTEAD Progress (in 60 Minutes) — Ep. 142
Four years ago we were searching for a homestead. Two years ago, we found a piece of land that really spoke to us. And now is the time to reflect on what we've been able to accomplish in the last 730 days of being here. For those of you who have not been following our group's journey—this is a perfect video to catch you up on everything! Let's call it a "highlight reel" or a "year in review," or in this case—two years in review, including all those gardening and renovation projects! Enjoy the video.
