That’s a lot of chickens! ❤

thank you for watching

Bought 34 acres in Tennessee 4 months ago and will be giving the whole homestead thing a run! Thanks for the information. We also have a RUclips channel documenting the entire journey!

Look into regenerative agriculture. If you move your animals the poop isn't a problem. It's fertilizer.

A well-deserved vacation for sure! I’m glad you guys got some R&R

You are living my dream...but, I am coming to realize that I am just too old.

The bees are still very, very active, and they made to latter part of November

Wow...

Never a dull moment!

Thanks for watching

Looks great!

thanks for watching an please leave a comment

Brady the goat. 6x champ!

What animals should we get next?

Thanks for the tour.

So cool

And if the down tree is inthe pasture in the summertime you have to get rid of the leaves before they wilt and the cows find them. They ate deadly to cows once they wilt.

Fascinating! Thanks so much for the tour!

Hi Accidental Famer! It’s your neighbor two doors up from you. Very cool video on the basement! As a point of reference, our basement is much smaller than yours. We have similar support beams; however, they run horizontally across the floor boards of our 19th-century shoe shop, which was eventually turned into an addition to the house. (It’s now my office when I work from home.) We also have a center arch chimney base identical to yours, although ours is not as easily accessible; it is slightly blocked behind our gas furnace. Surprisingly, we have a different foundation! Ours is field stone with bricks on top. The only granite we have is along the foundation of the shoe shop. Regardless, it's a very cool video. You should come “up the street” and check out our house so we can compare notes. Love your videos!

thanks again all for watching

More fun when you have to come up with $500+ A week just for mortgage.

Hi. I just found your channel and sae that you started at 60. well I did the same and with no money but good credit in the bank ans steady income from fishing insurgence in Iceland. I said to my son, lets go to Portugal an start a new life and he said, yes dad lets do it, we have no money left from our company after tax. After two years we found the farm of my dreams, started building and we are still building, slowly. Yes it is like you said, wake up in the morning, cafe and enjoy the critters, feed them and get them ready for the day. Evenings I sit outside and watch them making their way in, my dog stands guard over them all day and guards the farm at night from predators. It is a good life and hard sometimes but I am never going back.

So much history in this old farmhouse!

thanks for watching.

There seems to be the natural divide between those who gravitate toward animals and those who gravitate toward plants. It's common to not know which side you're on until you have tried both. That said, it's probably not a good idea to try both the first year. Getting production of one going is hard enough, then marketing/selling? Then doing the same for the other?!?

I bought 10 acres of land in the country 5 years before I retired from my career as a scientist and slowly developed an orchard so that I would have something to do in retirement. Now 2 years into retirement I really enjoy the satisfaction of nurturing the living at a slow pace, it is often hard physical work and lots of expenses but because I chose not to raise animals (just trees and vegetables) I am not subjected to the inconveniences and stress that you highlighted, one dog is enough for me. 🙂

Curious- why do you or others have sheep and goats, I don't see any profit in them. I enjoy my little (500 sq ft) garden but can't emagine acres. Thanks, Ben

Im a lobsterman from Maine. Drive that way often. Im looking for land in kentucky to farm just a little, rraise sheep,(hair sheep), and bees. Looking for to watching your experience as i will, with any luck, be doing same in not too long. As close as you are, im in midcoast, perhaps next summer, i can drive down.

this was helpful I want to build one for next year. thanks.

Thanks all for watching

They were not happy to see me

That looks like great late summer honey!

You can extract the beeswax by heating the remaining wax and honey in a double boiler, letting the wax rise to the top. Repeat the process a couple of times to purify the wax.

It really helps to use an electric "bee knife" to de-cap the cones.

Those bees did some serious work! Looks awesome! 🍯

A great way to kick off the fall season

Can’t wait to taste it

Hi neighbor! It's very interesting that the layout of your attic is similar to ours. We do not have remnants of an original roof, and most of the plaster on our chimney was lost in a fire in the 1960s. However, we do have builder markings on some of the attic floorboards and visible wooden pegs holding the support beams in place. Looking forward to the basement video (Our is a hot mess!)

Thanks for watching, the basement tour coming soon

not one peg holding anything together? We had a house buiilt in the 1790s and the attic was full of pegged rafters. no nails

What a beautiful morning in the backfield

Busy bees getting ready for winter

Lots of projects done, lots of progress made!!

What a year

What to do with this wool?

I love it Ron!! Congrats!

The best of friends!

A beautiful morning

Back field mowing was not ll that bad but next time ear protection

Farming is one of the hardest jobs due the relentless nature of caring for animals when you have livestock. It is also oddly enough one of the most fulfilling. I have looked at buying a farm for retirement and concluded that I would never survive the work required with livestock -but I am ten years older than you. So, I think that I will finance a microgreen and mushroom grow facility in an urban area, cover off the sales, have paid employees planting and harvesting and play with my dogs. I would LOVE to play with your tractor but will be working more with a hydroponic water distribution system. At least I won't have to get up at 4:30 am. Thanks for sharing and I do not think you are nuts; I think that this is nothing but fun work (but probably a little more fun in your twenties and thirties). Congratulations.
