I can't imagine doing even half of what you do in a day. I can see your hard work in the children too. What a wonderful family. God Bless.
Maybe the seal is worn out.
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences, knowledge, and wisdom. My girlfriend from church told me about your channel a few months ago and I have been watching ever since. I rarely comment but I want you to know that I have learned so much from you about gardening and other things. Also, you have such a good attitude about your life, it shows in your smile as you are speaking. It made me think about my daily attitude and I also want to reflect that joy of the Lord you have so others in my life can benefit from it. You and your family are a great example to follow and I am truly grateful! Thank you!!!
Awe thanks for these kind words!!!
🥰
Me too. I am blessed with your sharing.. i have vlog, too..
😘
I want to go with your farm.. ☺️🥰 I know that it is imposible.. but my daughter likes your place..we are also in the farm.. more on coconut trees and rice field.. we have also cow but we do not milk them..We ate from the Philippines.. I am blessed also with you, because you praises the Lord our God.. God is good.. God bless🙏🙏👏👏more power..
Love Love Love your channel...but I'm exhausted after that day of work you and your children do!! Never ever believe ANYONE that tries to make you feel less, in anyway!! Most of us couldn't hold a candle to you! WOW... beautiful job and video as well!!! GOD Bless you and your family, you have it done right! You are raising amazing children that will carry on your teachings and will be great! As an older retired woman, I am in awe of you!! Wish we were neighbors and friends. I am happy to just get a look into your amazing world!! Thank you! That chicken drinking milk with the kitties was awesome!!
I'm 68 had a heart attack last week of January 2023. Currently looking for new Cardiologist! My husband of 50+ years will be turning 74 next month and currently a 4 year cancer survivor. We raise a garden do canning an put things in the frezzer, make homemade meals mostly based on what we raised. W don't have any livestock; husband's family never had a place of their own and no experience with live animals except we did have Rabbits for a while. Sure wish we had a dairy cow for milk, butter and by product of buttermilk. 😊 but these are all things I buy. Love making bread but need a soughdough starter had one years ago by that was back in the days of me working outside the home two children and my drive was an hour twice a day. Our children both currently live in other states 4 to 5.5 hours away . Love your videos and family is everything.
What a wholesome and caring family. Families that work together stay together.
What an incredible sight to see children actually playing with their imaginations and not electronics. I grew up on a farm and we raised our children on a farm. There is no better life. Your children are so blessed.
Phew I am tired watching you. When do you relax? Are the beautiful flowers along the fence grown from seed ?
What a great hardworking crew you have. Beautiful family.
Yes, i love how all your children take part in the chores. I hope they realize how blessed they are to grow up in this kind of down to earth life, I always dreamt of giving my kids a life like ypurs, but never could. Now they're all adults.
I always find myself smiling during your videos, doesn’t make to much difference as to what video, it’s your smile when you talk and just how much you love your farm. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you!!!
As a suburbanite with 1/4 acre lot and small family garden, no livestock except our house dog, I absolutely LOVED seeing your family’s day in the life! It’s refreshing and inspiring to see your kids wholesome upbringing. Great job having chores for everyone! I’m definitely exhausted watching everything you do to take care of the family, but everyone is involved and helps and looks so happy. Well done Mom!
Each time I see a video that includes the kids, it looks like they've grown a foot! I remember those days when my boys were constantly starving! I was very thankful that most years we had a great garden, and I made bread everyday, and always had a cinnamon raisin loaf in the oven when school let out. That with Honey held them over thru homework time. Back then, Bread Machines had just come out, and in the summer with the heat, I used that a lot! My kids are all married now, and have families of their own, and each one, still does what I did when they grew up, along with some new things brought in with their spouses. It's wonderful to watch all your hard work as parents come full circle! We home school now, however... because every States school System has become what we feel is Indoctrination and not education. My 7 with their spouses each live in a different State, and it's fun to visit and see America and my Grandkids at the same time!
Got bless you!!! And yes!! We go through lots of food!!!
"Of course they needed more nourishment before a long night of rest..." 🤣
I love watching your little boys do their chores and play. They are the sweetest things. Have you ever told Kendrick's story? I totally understand if you haven't. You are raising some great young men and women!
Love how you are so diligent with making sure that your boys & girls do the same chores, it’s so important to teach all jobs to children it makes them independent & appreciate what it takes to run a household. Fabulous job raising your family ❤️
Thanks for a great day. Retired dairy farmer wife in Wisconsin watching and enjoying you videos. I am still hanging wash outside, froze 63 pints of sweet corn this past week and pickled 18 pints of hot peppers. And waiting for tomatoes to ripen as they will be the last of the big garden haul to can. Brings many good memories of raising our two daughters on the farm. We have plenty of sauerkraut from last year and pickled beets so no need to can this year. Will can tomatoes until all my jars are full. And I am mostly barefoot too! ❤
How wonderful!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
I love how the whole family works together to help get everything done such a close knit family & such an inspiration ❤
“Mom, can we EACH have a little one”? There is so much to this comment…..it warms my heart to see kids being raised this way ❤
Blessings
Ruth,
This gets more ridiculous, my name is Brenda and you have a cow, named, Brenda. That is neat!
So great you have a farm for your kids. And these skills are good for them to learn and have.
You and your husband are doing them a big favor by making them learn these skill and chores, because you are teaching them how to work and work hard.
My parents did the samething with us four kids!

You are an amazing woman.The family runs so well,and prospers because of your wisdom.Your walk of faith makes this all possible.Thank you for sharing your life!
I did not know that about picking the corn early in the morning. Thank you for teaching this 63 yr old something new!
Now I know why my corn does not freeze well. It was not picked that day when processed. Will give it another try. Thank you.😊
I give you so much credit with all that you accomplish in one day with a large family! When my children were small I thought I was busy, but I guess not after seeing what you do! I love your garden and all the beautiful flowers - my husband and I are in our 60's and just moved to upstate New York and are starting our own homestead on 20+ acres. I hope some day to have a beautiful vegetable, flower and herb garden such as yours - certainly not as large because there are only 2 of us. I thoroughly enjoy your videos - thank you for sharing!
I enjoy your videos so much. Your family is always busy and very productive. You have done a great job of raising your children to be willing to work hard and not complain. We always enjoy visiting with our Amish friends because they, like your family, live a very simple and uncluttered life.Going to their homes is like taking a vacation for us. Have a great week and thanks for sharing.
Thank you!!!
Thanks for letting us get a glimpse into your life. I really enjoy your videos and the motivation they bring me. Sending you all love and positivity from a fellow Iowan❤
Thank you so much!
You and your family are very much appreciated. God bless all.
Enjoy watching your homestead life & your hard working adventures w/your land & animals! May God be w/you all! Beautiful garden…may he continue to give you a large abundance of harvests! Keep well & be safe! 🫶🙏🏻🤗
Thank you! You too!
I love your channel. I just found you!!!! You have a great family and your a superwoman lol. Your that proverbs 31 woman!!!!! What a great influence you are to so many. I have raised my kids, but love everything about your approach. You are preparing and raising great human beings!!! BRAVO!!!! We need more people like you. Your homestead is beautiful and bountiful. Those kids are precious. You motivate me to accomplish more at this stage (64 years old) lol. Blessings!!!!
I absolutely love how your children are such a huge part of your homestead. And you my dear have so much energy to get everything done in a day. I love your videos…thank you so much for the invitation to spend a day in the life with you!
Whew! I’m exhausted just watching … but what a well oiled machine!!! Busy hands are happy hands❣️ Welcome back🎉
What hard workers! Especially mom 👏 I can see how the editing would seem like doing it all over again! I felt tired just watching. 😅 Thank you for showing us your busy, amazing life!
It's so so sweet that you have the children keeping the flies off the cow with a branch ,as your milking her.🌷💕💜
❤I'm glad to see other families have a corn day, too! We have a silker machine that uses roller brushes and water to pull the silk off the corn - it's a fabulous time saver! In our area, the mennonite/plain community often have someone who makes them or who will rent theirs out for the day. It's a lot of work, but so delicious.
Yes my sisters use that too. But we don’t do quite as much corn so as long as we are done in a day I don’t think we will rent it
Great video, as always. Thank you.
I didnt know that about picking corn in the morning and sugars and starch! Every year I buy a couple 50 lb bags of corn from our local farmer. It sits at LEAST a few days before I can process all of it for the next year. I've always wondered why it doesn't taste the way home grown corn should taste, especially when we know the practices of our local farmer! So basically, it won't ever taste the way it should because I won't be able to get 100 pounds blanched fast enough. Ugh. I still appreciate your knowledge! I'm even more amazed at how much work you get done every day! ❤
I love watching your family work together. Hadassah, I think your name is wonderful!!
I've only watched a few videos so far and it all started because I was curious about canning. I'm SO GLAD I clicked on your video. I hardly want to watch every one of someone’s videos, but I can't wait to get through yours. I hope you continue to share! I didn't grow up knowing about really any of this stuff. I'm hoping to learn and share with my family and gain the abilities to live as close to this life style as possible! Your videos are great and I'm happy for many reasons that you didn't quit posting because of a few negative people! Thank you for sharing with us all!
I’ve followed you on Instagram for quite a while, but rarely take the time to watch RUclips- tonight my toddler seemed to have gas pain or something keeping her awake and I decided to try a video for distractions, the cartoons didn’t work, but you and the animals sure did! She very much enjoyed making the sounds for each animals she saw! I love your way of life and wish I could be more like you in so many ways- thanks for being a great role model in the sea of mediocrity that is the internet! I know I’m just another random commenter, but I often refer to you, when I talk to my family/friends as “My favourite Instagrammer” and wish I could be your neighbour or little sister 🤣
This afternoon I was sewing, found your channel, and have had it on all day! What an inspiration you and your family are ❤. Love the children and how helpful they-good work parents! What enjoyment watching all the animals, the chores, the garden, and cooking. What a delight! Thank you🤗
Love how all of the family works together. Thank you for sharing your life with us. It is very uplifting.
Watching you and your family takes me back to my 😮youth on the farm. Picking, husking and cutting the corn /freezing was always a family affair. We sat in the back yard with wash tubs of corn. Thank you so much for the wonderful memories.
I love how the family works so well. You are so lovely with the kids. Thanks for the video. God bless you guys😊❤
I LOVE your shirt!!! Thank you for these videos. I enjoy watching them and learning a thing or two along the way. My kids are grown but I have grandkids and very much agree with your ways of parenting. I pray for you & your husband as you strive to raise godly young men and women. The world needs them!!
🎉You all are great,i Love the team work. Did you know that the hairs on the sweet corn ,is great for kidney health and man prostate issues.🎉 Awesome job and i am learning skills by watching you. Being raised in violent house, and then on streets Nice to see who people love n treat each other.❤
God bless you!!! I’ve just recently heard about the silk of sweet corn as a medicine.
When the milking cows were being led to the shaded area, it was so wonderfully picturesque!
It’s my favorite milking place!!
@@Ruthannzimm it's heavenly!
I do appreciate the tips you give like when to pick corn an how to process for freezing. Thank you God Bless
OMG you’re so lucky to have a good health to do all that work every day, it’s nice to see children being busy with chores and watching the smaller boys playing together after.. thanks for sharing your daily life…I’m 72 years old, I find it very interesting to watch ..God bless you all 🙏❤️🙏
Wow, I absolutely enjoy peering into the daily routine on your farm and how you interact with your children. Thank you for sharing.
I just found your channel on RUclips .I have to say it is such a joy to see the whole family involved in helping. What a true blessing you have.
Thank you so much!
You’re Homestead is amazing. I am amazed at how much you do in one day. The fact that you walk around barefoot which I love, because you are being grounded all day. It makes me think that you must sleep like a rock. You exude health and happiness, and I wish more of us could live life like you do..
Such a gorgeous family!
Thank you for sharing your day with us. I remember the days when I had the energy you display. I’m 73 now and still working my gardens and orchard even though they are smaller now. My children are all gone and have children and grandchildren of their own. 😊
You are one very hard working woman. I don't know how you manage to do so much every day. Your children are good workers as well, a testament to your teaching .
Great to see a family working together
Watching your family gives me hope for the future generations. Sending 🙏 and warm wishes your way.❤
Definitely right about the corn. It’s got to be eaten or frozen as soon as it’s picked. My husband helps me cut and freeze corn every year because he loves it so much.
So much goodness in this video. Life is about. Hard work, hard play, good food, responsibilities, family stability all grounded in God!
Your family is a well oiled machine ❤you’re a great mom
Growing up, we were raised exactly like your household. Watching your videos brings back lots of fond childhood memories. Our cousins used spend a weekend or week with us and still say our family was like living with the Waltons.
Great video, love seeing the family working together and seeing you in the garden amount the beautiful flowers again.
Thanks so much
This gives me a joyful heart. Thank you and your family for sharing. 🤗
I really enjoy watching your videos. We have our granddaughters 11 & 15 with us about every day - they also live on a farm and help out a lot with farm chores, which they enjoy because they have 4H projects. But, they are not real good about helping mom inside with the house chores, so I’ve really been using your children as examples…..I think we are getting somewhere. When they go home I always tell them to “be like the Zimmerman”. We also live in Iowa , about 120 miles south of you so that makes us even more interested in following you. We have a pretty good garden this year and things are finally reaching the harvesting time. Thank for all the great instructions and advice, you and your family are truly a blessing.
Thank you for these kind words!!! God bless you!!
I love the sun tea jar! I have one and use it all the time. Your family is so sweet. What great values you are teaching your children. God bless you.
Watching your videos makes me want to be apart of your family. A family that works, plays, eats, and pray together stay together. Your kids are the best, and you can tell they love their life. Blessings to you all. 💚💚🙏🙏
Thank you!!!!
We have a homestead with dairy goats geese and chickens. We raise a garden and fruit trees, vines, berry bushes, etc. I really appreciate your clear instructions and narration. So helpful to understand how you do things. We are currently dehydrating and canning like mad, a daily occurrence. Our apples are up and now it’s Asian pears and regular pears, then grapes and so on. There are just two of us so harvest can be very busy. So happy I found your channel when I did!
Oh boy, Ruthann. We too had corn day as I was growing up on the farm in Minnesota and it was the hottest, longest day day, lol. Not sure we had it even close to done before noon, so kudos to your organization and the family pulling it together as one. The skills you teach will last a lifetime as you know. I have lost myself in your videos, reliving my own farm life experience to the point that I don’t want your day to end because then my reminiscing ends too. I know the force a calf can have when feeding, the smell of the barn walking through door in the morning and certainly how a headstrong cow behaves when a lesser experienced milker starts to sit down, lol. Thank you for being who you are and sharing your life with all of us. You enrich us and we need that.
Thanks for these kind words
Hello ! I am new to your channel, and let me just say....What a Blessing you are to me :) A true answer to prayer. I feel like I have found a new, true friend !! You are so open and Honest and those are qualities that are very hard to find in people nowadays. In the video I just watched, you mentioned a viewer's comment that you seem uneducated. You don't seem that way at all to me....but maybe that's because you Are Very Skilled !!!! I look forward to learning more from you. May God bless you and your family :)
After harvesting beans and cukes and canning pickles. Sat down to have breakfast (at 3pm) and watch your day and you wore me out. I need a nap and you should take one too.
You run an incredibly efficient home. God has truly blessed you.
I hold the corn cob upright, bottom resting on a wooden board , helps to have a small circle cut out to rest it in. and then cut top to bottom, rotating the corn as you cut . Seeing you in your bare feet, we have a square dish pan outside, with soap and nail brush to clean up feet and hands and a small towel. Always warm water in the hose in the sunshine.Also editing could be taught to the older kids?
I use a electric knife and a angel food cake pan to cut corn off the cob. That's how Mom did it.
@@duffydukette4528 what a great idea.
I have one child, who now as an adult , feels that I was sooo strict as a parent that I traumatized her with my need for a clean and orderly home and the chores she had to do, which consisted of only washing dishes in the evenings and cleaning the bathroom once a week starting at the age of 11 to 18 when she moved out. And now married with a 3yr old and a tiny house, she blames me/the trauma for her being a slob. I never hit my child, never to rarely yelled nor hovered. My sister thinks I was way too soft as a parent. My mother told me that I was a great parent and better than her, and my mother is not one to compliment anyone over the age of 5. All this to say that I'm in awe of your parenting and your crew and how much they participate and do.
You are amazing at editing! Hat's off to you.
Sounds like you did a fine job as a parent.When you are an adult,as she is,it is on her.IMO.Pray for her.
@@hollytaylor6858 Thx for your kind words.
Love this! You’re always an inspiration to me, makes me want to do more and just keep going to the list is completed. Thank you! 😊
What a productive day! So much fun to watch and so inspiring for us to move back to a more rural area. Thank you .
Thanks Dave for all you do to keep us informed! I appreciate your common sense approach!
Holy cow I’m exhausted! Bless your heart. Thanks for sharing your day. ❤
If not using a refrigerator, you might want to store dry coffee grounds in it to keep it fresh and stop mildew. This is what moving companies in Canada suggested when a move was done back in 1968
I recently found your videos and I am so impressed! I am from Iowa and my family moved us to California when I was 2 years old. But my soul has always been in Iowa and I have always wanted to live a life just like yours. You rock!!!!! Your children are amazing, no sassy attitude and they do their chores without issues. You must be exhausted by the time it’s bed time. Thank you for allowing your viewers to enjoy living your life, even if it’s on video.
I love watching your videos on Saturdays while I'm making bread. 😍 I don't get up early to milk cows (yet), but I do what I can in my stage of life. Your videos are a great weekly reminder of what I'm working towards. Thank you!
Love that!
I recently stumbled on to your RUclips series, I am so pleased and amazed on your homestead life. The way your children are being raised, the way you take care of the family and the farm is just amazing. I'm a city girl who recently started to be interested in farm living, It's so pure, and it's surrounded by God's beauty. God Bless you, and your family and also thank you for sharing your wisdom.
Welcome!!!! Thank you for subscribing!!! We appreciate you!!!
I absolutely love watching your videos. I have a tip for you when doing corn. I put a small bowl upside-down into a bigger bowl and cut the corn off that way, I run my knife downward. It works great.
RuthAnn, another great video! Look forward to watching your family every week. Hardworking family! Great to see you are teaching your children a strong work ethic. Wow, Tom and Jerry are really growing. Have a wonderful week. God is good!
Thanks so much!
You have a beautiful life, a lovely home, amazing children, pretty flowers & plants everywhere… ahhhh…. God IS good! Many blessings may He give you & your family!
Thank you so much!
What a hardworking family, your corn looked beautiful!
Country living from the land is hard but with great rewards. Children working together learn how to work together, work ethic muscle, compromise and have great negotiation skills. Love your channel.
I would love to eat at your house with all the fresh produce. 😂 Corn is my absolute favorite!!! I just realized I used to live in Iowa...Burlington and then Middletown...everyone grew corn in their back yard so I always had corn in the summer. I was so young I didnt know anything about canning...lol...I so didnt know about picking corn early in the morning, I always learn something new with every video you post...Love your cows.....😁
In another video, you said that some people commented that you're uneducated. You know more real-life skills than most Americans! You're a smart, hardworking woman who's such an example. Keep doing you! Don't let the haters get you down. May God bless your hands!
Ya'll are a awesome family. So many memories being made. Thank you for sharing your life with us. God Bless
That brings back memories! My daddy would pick 100 dozen ears early in the morning, and Mother and I would cut the corn off the cob with knives, then scrape the "cream" out. Yum!
A country girl stuck in the city for the time being your videos are the fresh air I crave. Your flower garden is my dream for one day. Loved seeing the pigs 😂
So much work! Super cooperation and great attitudes!
Ruthann, I so love these videos! I always learn something new. Each one is such a blessing. Thanks for all the work you do to bring them to us and for sharing your sweet family with us❤️
I love watching your family all working together! So brings back many memories of my childhood! I wish more families were like your family. Your children will have such beautiful memories to pull from. God bless you.
Love seeing all you and your family does. Such a hard working group. Thank you for sharing your farm and family with us💗
I loved this Ruth Ann thanks for sharing with us! It’s really nice to see all your children (well most of them!) and a glimpse at your life.
"Mom, can. we each have a little one?". I loved that!!!
That was an amazing day!! You sure got so much done and have so much energy, which I attribute to the healthy foods you all eat. I love that you explain when you should do things and why. I’ve learned about corn and carrots. Thank you!!
I don’t see how you keep up with everything.. Your vegetable garden is neat and beautiful, you flower garden around the house is neat, beautiful and well-kept, your house is orderly and clean…. HOW is this possible??!!!
Awe thanks!!!
Thank you for sharing. After big weeks, im taking five to watch how others do it. Outdoor corn / large pots makes sense
I recently found your RUclips channel and I am enjoying watching all the videos. I, too, was raised in a Mennonite home and, like you, have left that culture, but still hold the values and work ethic near and dear. Thank you for letting us share your life and livelihood.
I just love watching your channel. Reminds me so much of how I grew up on the farm! I've recommended your channel to so many folks!!! So glad I found you!! ❤
Incredible blessing to see all of you working so hard and loving it! Your children are blessed to have you as a teacher and mother. ❤
I'm pretty new at this. I value your example - being a role model. You live a wholesome lifestyle and you keep active throughout your day - that is praiseworthy. God Bless you with health, wealth, and strength!
I’ve followed you for a good while on IG but first time watching something on YT. You have such a peaceful energy and I love watching and learning from you. ♥️
My husband watches you and I just saw one of your videos. You are the hardest working woman ever! I'm the furthest thing from a farm woman but I watch you and I am in awe of how sweet and hard working and just how you are just such a beautiful soul. May you continue to spread such joy.
Awe thank you!!!
Love your kids . They have such respect for you and their Dad and each other .Nice to see ❤️🇨🇦
I love spring gates
Tom and Jerry are growing nicely
Hogs look awesome
