The Farm Gave Her LIFE When Doctors Gave Her MONTHS to Live (Shepherds Hill Farm)

- Tarri grew up like most modern kids of the 50’s. Processed food and grocery stores were all the rage. She ate fast food, drank pasteurized milk, and knew nothing about farming. Then, after her first daughter was born, she began to have health problems that stumped doctors. She was ultimately told that her illness was unknown and that she had only a few months to live. She was 31 years old. Her last hope was to visit one last doctor. They recommended she grow her own food and see how she feels. It’s been 20 years now, and she hasn’t looked back. With her husband and daughter by her side, Shepherds Hill Farm tends a large garden, milks a small herd of Jersey cows, pasture rotates goats and beef cattle, and even processes their own broilers on the farm. They aren’t of Amish descent but they stay as close to the land as one can. They don’t have a cell phone or tv, but they are healthy and enjoy every second of it together.

This lovely lady is absolutely telling my story. I was down to 80 pounds when I changed my diet just like her. Except I don’t have a functional dr.
Wow!! That’s amazing! I’m so glad you’re healthy now! ❤️
@@BreakingNewRoots working on it! Like she said, it takes a while
❤️
Blessings and good health for al the family.
Thank you!
Love the stories about how they do things,🎉
Thank you so much!! I really do too!
What a lovely story from the land. Lovely people.
They were so great to meet!! They are such a wonderful family and their farm was so cool to see!! Their cows have more personality than I have ever seen! haha.
'Sow the Land' made the design of those chicken tractors. Jason has a lot of useful stuff and sells the plans.
If a cow is eating more calories than she is spending, she will be more fertile, unless she is TOO fat (a common occurance in grain fed cattle). If calving in sync with nature, the grasses will be lush while the calves are suckling and as they begin to graze, the dams with good epigenetics will be fertile, breed, and conceive. FMI on this, Allen Williams is a geneticist who discusses this topic in depth.
Oh yes. Good point!
You could use the wooly mat from the sheep to mulch around fruit trees or your garden area.
Oh that’s a great idea!!
Their story is so inspiring!
I agree!! Being at their farm made me want to go farm again! ❤️
Thanks for what you do,, farms are the back bone of this world,, I have great memories of my grandparents on there farm,, thank you again ,, from Louisiana ,,,
Since we were farmers it has always been our passion. We will farm again one day! We thought we knew it all, we clearly didn’t! 50 farms into this and we feel like we would do it completely different! We were in Louisiana not that long ago!
We farmed had a farm in the 70s. We read Mother Earth News. It had old articles on farming.
That’s a great newsletter!!
It would be awesome to detach from a cell phone. Productivity would skyrocket!!!
So much truth here! We have conversations all the time about if we could just go back to an old flip phone! I know they are making a push back! We enjoy the conveniences of being able to take photos of our kids!
This is the healing story I needed to hear! So much of the world of more holistic thinkers or people who are into this alternative ideal or that alternative ideal are still totally unaccepting of those of us who have to go farther to find health or have gone farther and have still not found it yet. It is incredibly discouraging to start paying attention to so many various groups all wonderfully supporting each other and then have them all just think and speak like militant vegans, unable to comprehend or accept when their ideal that they want to support isn't the whole answer that magically makes everything better. And for this lovely lady to actually be farming and succeeding and enjoying it...!!! I pray I can get to that. It can tempt that fearful mind problem when you can't get out of flareups and then no one believes that you could possibly succeed at such hard work as farming. But since most alternative farmers aren't going as far as I need and are generally unaccepting of the possibility of their being a need, especially since I now live in a different state, I still dream of raising better food myself! I want ducks first! Lol
Such an amazing family doing an amazing job with regenerative farming! It was incredible to see their cattle when called by their personal names into the head gate!
I'm really enjoying your videos from different farms and different things they are doing. God bless you and hope you continue your platform.
Hi! Thank you so much!! We are having so much fun meeting new people and hope we go as long as we can!
i sure enjoyed this video so much so good to see you sweet lady
So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!!
really enjoyed this video thank you
Thank you so much!!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!! We thoroughly enjoyed meeting them and learning about their story!
One thing they arent mentioning is that it isnt just what the animals are eating that you may have an issue with but also the medications they are given. I used yo think my youngest son was mildly allergic to milk (when he drank he would have an over abundance of phlegm and would have these massive coughing fits. However, while able to limit his milk consumption he loved it and would find ways to sneak it. Went to dinner at an elderly couples home and they knew about the milk problem we dealt with and they offered him some knowing he would be coughin, but this time there wasnt any coughing so he was allowed a second glass with still no coughing.
At work (at a hospital) the next day was discussing in the cafeteria trying to figure out why no coughing that time when a dietician at a nearby table to ask if the milk he drank the previous day was nonfat, which it was (it is quite common for older people to switch to nonfat). She stated that he could be allergic to penicillin which transfers in the fat/cream. Turned out he was.
Many will claim that is impossible because there are regulations requiring the milk to be dumped if the cow is on medication. I was dating a dairy farmer and went to the farm to learn his daily routine. During the milking when talking about meds he stated thathe didnt separate medicated milk from unmedicated except on days of inspection would be too costly for him. Turns out the person making inspections would tell him when he could expect inspections. I dont know if that is standard practice or a "deal" he had with his inspector. So even if 9 out of 10 dairy farmers are honest and follow all regulations, all the milk is mixed together when the trucks come to collect the milk from different farms for processing and processing doesnt remove drugs from the milk.
Another fact when you are talking about the meat is that even though dairy cows are kept for their milk, dairy cows are also used for meat. If a cow is injured or sick the farmer can sell the cows to a service that will nutcherthem as long as they are still able to walk onto the truck even if it reqires using a cow prod to "encourage" them to get up and move. Sometimes those cows have been on meds but if they aren't improving they will call that service. In some cases once they show signs of illness depending on age of cow or what they think might be wrong with them they wont even try to treat but will get rid of before they become too sick. This means that the meat you are eating whether hamburger or steak can be medicated or diseased.
If thos is happening with cows, it is logical that it could happen with any animals so itight not be a problem with being grain fed but if you are purchasing any animal product from the store you have no guarantee of what type of contaminate they may have.
Wow. What a story! I’m so glad you were able to identify the issue for your son! Unfortunately, what your are stating can be true at times. Another great reason to know your farmer and where your food is coming from. ❤️
Great info here. Also would be applicable for vaccines, wormers or hormones. All of that will affect milk/meat.
Every milk tank is sampled and tested (for antibiotics, protein, milkfat, water percentage,...) at the dairy processor. If a farmer sends tainted milk, that farm must pay for all the milk on that load, which is dumped.
@@user-kv2pt4lu9y so glad to hear that is the case in your state or county.
I love these stories!! New subscriber here ❤
Thank you so much!!! ❤️ we love meeting new people and learning new things! So excited to see so many more!
Quite enjoyed this. With a dairy background, I found this very interesting. Well done. Thank you to all for an excellent chat.
Thank you so much!!! I’m really glad you enjoyed it!! We feel very fortunate to have been able to visit this farm and loved getting to know them!
This was gold! I saved this video and subscribed! Thank you so much!
Thank you!!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I loved meeting them and getting to know their story. We put new videos out on Wednesdays and Saturdays. ❤️
GOD BLESS YOU. SE MICHIGAN 🙏
Lovely family.
I'm also severely allergic to corn. I can have a little bit and get achy but too much and I'm laid out with severe arthritis sometimes 3 days.
Oh wow! I’m glad you have it figured out though! ❤️
@@BreakingNewRoots there are 3 pages of 3 columns each of names that they call corn. Dextrose is corn. Etc. It's cheaper than sugar so all the companies are using different names to hide corn in their ingredients. There's no way to get away from it unless you do carnivore diet. I'm on Day 20 of this diet to get rid of all the poisons in my body. I'm so crippled up and angry and depressed.
@@nancyfahey7518 wow. I’m so sorry! I hope you feel better soon!
Gosh, you guys it seems like if you did managed grazing where you moves them every day. It looks like you have enough land that you wouldn’t have to buy pellets at all. I don’t know if you know if that method of like managed grazing holistic, grazing stuff like that butit’s really great that you turned your health around. I think that’s fantastic.
Oh for sure. They do managed intensive grazing. The pellets are for the cows to have something to eat while milking so they don’t get bored and move around so much in the stanchion.
Inspirational , thank you ❤❤❤❤
Thank you!!! She is very inspiring!! So glad you enjoyed the video.
Wash, rinse and repeat 😊.
❤️
Love this story.
If she can’t eat grain fed meat, do they feed organic hay and alfalfa pellets? I know alfalfa is a grass/hay, but there are lots of chemicals used in its productions.
Thank you so much!! Her story is amazing!! I believe they cut their own hay so they can control what goes on the field.
The sugars in green grass would boost production greater than the dry hay.
I was wondering if you could put the link up for the young man's video describing the life of a chicken from chick to dinner plate. You mentioned this during the video, but I don't see a link. Thank you!
Absolutely! We will add it to the description by morning. Thank you for asking!
Sorry we forgot to add the link! Here is the link! ruclips.net/video/esro99HUhbg/видео.htmlsi=w4U2WCOKxSkfBQA_
@@BreakingNewRoots, thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your videos. Please keep them coming!
One thing that I want to share about using pressure-treated lumber is that you need to look at the tag to see if it's rated for "ground contact"; only those with that rating will be able to withstand prolonged contact with ground and moisture. So basically anything that sits on the ground and is in contact with dampness regularly, should be the better type of pressure treating, which will carry the tag rated for ground contact.
Thank you so much!!! We put new ones out on Wednesdays and Saturdays. ❤️
Diarrhea can cause dehydration and calcium deficiencies. Too much protein is one of the causes of diarrhea. The top portion of grasses is sugar, the bottom portion is protein.
We butchered chickens. My husband dispatched and pulled feathers. Our little son brought the chickens inn. If you do this have them keep their hands clean. Our son got campylobacter.
Oh yes. Makes me think of Daniel Salatin, “if you have something on your lip, don’t lick it”. Can be a very dirty job but also so worth it!
The young laldy has a growth on her left ear that someone needs to look at.
She’s wearing earmuffs.
Metabolic therapy and fenben. Joe Rogan talked about it on his show
They could learn to STOCKPILE their grasses to graze in the dormant season. Jim Gerrish's books or lectures on Kicking The Hay Habit would teach this.
That’s a great book! I’m not sure how it would apply to their operation in such a tropical climate.
@@BreakingNewRoots i believe Alejandro Carrillo at Las Damas Ranch in Chuajauajaua Mexico stockpiles forages.
@@BreakingNewRoots what do the local wildlife ruminants, like deer or elk, eat in winter?
Oh okay. I believe they forage. But their uses are different. Deer and elk are eating to simply survive, versus by raising cattle for human purposes, we are asking more of them than simple survival. However, this is what I love most about traveling the country to visit small farmers. We are learning so much! Everyone has different ideas and how those things work for them.
@@BreakingNewRoots the deer and elk also wean their young, humans do not remove their young. Most farm animals have become epigenetically weak due to human intervention. Check out Allen Williams on epigenetics.
