Hello, it's Sue with Get to the Farm, and I wanted to share with you a story about how a community of homesteaders came together to help one another.
I have to admit that I wasn't much of a person to hang out on YouTube before 2016. I would usually turn to it only for directions on how to take apart my dishwasher for cleaning. However, that all changed in the spring of that year when I was involved in a horse cart wreck some distance from town that left me with a broken leg.
Due to a runaway horse, my passenger and I had to jump out of the cart, and my landing was anything but graceful. It took me an hour and a half to get to the hospital, and I had to wait months before the swelling went down enough for surgery. It was a couple of years before I could walk "normally" again, and I still use an ice pack on my knee occasionally. If you want to learn more about my story, I'll link a video for you.

During my recovery time, I turned to YouTube for companionship since my family worked during the day. That's when I discovered Bri. She has been an inspiration to me since I saw my first video, "Why I don't buy organic."
/ @brifromscratch had been through a lot, from dealing with mold in their old farm house to having to move place to place with rentals. However, things started looking up when Bri's brother bought and gifted them a large house in a suburban area.
While working within the rules of her subdivision, Bri struggled to get her new garden in. Friends came by to till and get the area prepared and laid out in beds, but it was still a daunting task to get everything in while wrangling a herd of homeschoolers.
That's when the local homesteading community came to the rescue. / @thejustinrhodesshow brought his mini excavator and his hard-working kids. / @blackstropicalhomestead / @mikethefitfarmer / @thehollarhomestead Family the Folks at / @sowtheland and everybody from / @growingupholt pitched in and got her garden beds mulched and topped with compost.
That let Bri get the garden in for her large family and it's flourishing.
That's the wonderful thing about the homesteading community, part of the ol' Barn Raising spirit where many hands make light work. Homesteaders love to share: knowledge, equipment and community.
The support that Bri received from the homesteading community is a testament to the strong bonds that exist within the community. People are always willing to lend a hand, whether it's through sharing knowledge or physically helping out with a project.
