We're transforming this 90 acre property into a self reliant homestead and farm stay vacation rental. We're building infrastructure to accomodate future growth such as barns, duck house, 7 coop chicken house, water hydrants, planting an orchard, building a garden etc. Chickens, ducks, geese, mini pigs, rabbits, a bunch of barn cats and two old english sheepdogs make up our team here at the farm. Please follow along on our journey of transforming this place into something special.
Chunk is my favorite cat!!
Olive has such great fun playing in the snow, she's such a joy. I love watching all the cats, there so cute. The cats are friendly and cuddly. God bless you and your family. And God bless all your wonderful animals.
Chad, you have become part of my life. Thank you for taking the time to share this part of your life with the world. I've never been to your part of Canada, but I hope to someday. I've been to Baniff Springs and Lake Louise. Youre place in spring is awesome! You are appreciated....from NorCal 😊
Thank you so much for the kind words!
This is so sweet and wholesome to watch, very calming. I love it! keep it up!
Thank you! Will do!
We love all the claw crew! Sushi has adjusted very well! Bubbles is my new fav! ❤
Love from IndianaUSA! Love your vids! Give Olive n the cats a hug for me!!
🤗
I use pine pellets too!!! For anyone wondering how to separate it, there’s bins that are made for this type of litter OR you can buy two identical bins, and drill holes at the bottom of the top bin! the sawdust will fall to the bottom bin for easier separation and clean up!! ofc always deep clean your litter box once or twice per week depending on the number of cats you have ❤
Great tips 👌
You have such a beautiful place. The cats are so healthy ❤
All the animals are adorable. Olive is my favorite 🐕❤
@@jennifersutton3115 😁

@@Dtrtruelove 😁
I just love those cats!!!! I’m like u I can’t wait for spring!!! Sweet Olive girl❤️
She is such a sweetheart! 💕
We used the pellets for cat litter too, and also Catalyst brand which is wood as well.
Love seeing all the snow!
Sushi has the cutest little meow!
Hi Fozzy and all the critters!
Great Monday morning video Chad,. Good job getting that tree down, it could have caused trouble for you. Miss Olivia is precious, she does love the snow but then she seems to enjoy everything,she's a joy to watch.
Your cats are a joy to watch, too love them too. Keep up the great job!
Much appreciated, thanks for watching!
Great video and a good day on the farm. Love all your content and videos.
Thank you for sharing. Thoughts and Prayers always. Love and Blessings. Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘
Chad, I really appreciate all the work you put into your videos.
And I love all the barn cat shots.
I have 3 cats, wish I could have more. You have a wonderful day 😊
Thank you for the kind words. I’m glad you enjoy the content!
Is good to see the cats traying to walk in the snow. A lot of work to clean the pigs and the rabits. Thanks for the videos
@@JH-ml5cp 😁
Grew up on a farm. You're doing all the chores I used to!
Then you know they are endless 😆
I love the cats ,Olive loves to run and I love seeing her. You had a bunch of snow and we had 70 degrees temperatures this past week.😊
@@cathymcgee1674 we haven’t had this much snow in decades
Hi Chad! 🙋♂Grea day on the farm! @28:11, just as I predicted: Dexter is smitten with Sushi. 😻Yes indeed, he is besoughted and has the princess on his tracking mode. 😹 Can't wait to see all their adventures in the Spring. Take care!
She’s still playing hard to get 😂
Looks really cold!! Won't be long till you're
growing all your vegs and fruit. Loving the beautiful cats. Xxx❤❤❤
Happy Monday. What a pleasure to be with you and the barn family.
Dear sweet Olive. She is a beautiful pup.
You always have a list of chores to do. Have a great day. Always a delight to be with you.😊❤
Oh yeah, always things to do 😆
Awesome video, and you always choose the best music!
@@Alma_Kane 🤙😎
Well, well, we'll Chad. I think the city boy has totally left you.
My two cats dexter and chunk look alikes Al and Freddie sit on tv stand watching their buddies on the farm.
For the filming, you rock, dear sir. The time and effort you put into these videos is extremely appreciated by one of you, fellow Ontario Canadian.
Keep on keeping on
Haha I wonder after how many years of rural living can a guy actually call himself a country boy?
I wish I could send some warm sunshine up that way for you, Chad!
Watching from South Carolina ☀️
@@4ever-in-bluejeans we need it, even just to melt a bit of snow ❄️
Dexter has been so curious about Sushi since the beginning, I bet they'll be buds, as much buds that cats can be.... Lol. It seems like she is really adjusting well and establishing her ranking.
Yes I think she’s doing ok, she should be well adjusted for when it’s spring and time to go out on the farm.
Your videos are so relaxing to watch. A nice way to start the week. It's snowing here on the shore of Georgian Bay in Tiny. About 6 to 8 inches of snow to remove from the driveway.
Yes for us today too, another 8”. It’s gonna be a mucky mud season this spring.
Happy morning with your farm family.❤ thank you, Peace ❤
Have a great week eh
Hi Chad. My two favorite things in one video, chain saws and cats😊 My cats love you and like to watch when the hidden spring show when it comes on the tv.
That’s so cool, I can picture them just sitting there intently staring at the tv 😆
Olive has such a pretty face. Thank you for starting my Monday off well. It really is beautiful on your land with all the snow, but can't wait to see how it blooms out this spring!
@@donnac7057 it’s true this breed of dog has a cute, lovable, happy face even as adults.
I love Sushi’s little squeaks! Looks like she’s settling just fine and loves where she’s at. You do such an amazing job with all your animals. Have a fantastic week. Love from Oregon, USA ❤
Hi Chad ! Love beautiful Olive and the beautiful cats !! 💕
They're such sweethearts! 💕
We’ve had to remove a couple “rainbow trees”
from our forest road. They look pretty all curved over the road but they sink lower each year and ended up being in the way and a bit unsafe, especially with heavy dumps of snow on them.
And the tree must not be totally healthy too so it’s gonna just snap in the long run.
Lovely ♥️
Morning Chad. I too wish for spring.
Try to Have a great week eh.
I like how Olive waits her turn for you to toss the Kong when your with the crew! Do we have to wait until Spring to play with the red Kong again😄? Mango was an orange hoot today plowing through the snow the way she did. You did a smart chop, cut and haul with that tree today saving a bunch of time. The crew is so, so lucky to have you thinking about them and their needs, and I love you for that! 😻
Yeah the red one is lost for now 😂
Love seeing all the cats interact and check their new litter. Thanks for the video of them.
It’s amazing how curious they are!
Dexter bubby baby boy I wuv You! And every Bodies too😅 have a happy farm day! 🔆
🥰
Loving this channel, nothing more satisfying than seeing those cats and watching that log splitter.
Looking after those cats and the litters trays is nearly a full time job 😂
🤙
Love starting my day with you and the animals! Thank you Chad 🥰
Awesome!!!
The winter is hard for everyone. Olive seems to like the snow 😊. You cutting down the tree and splitting the firewood reminds me of my father.
I hope spring comes soon.
I love how she’s got that smile in her eyes.
Sushi might end up being a LOVE BUG!! ❤😊
Definitely 💯
So much work, but it's got to be a little bit of heaven!! I so enjoy your videos. Thank you! Man, that shpe vac is getting a work out! If your wife can sew, she can fix it.
@@lauraansara5066 yup, gotta love what you do then it’s not work 😉
Thank you for the video. Sushi seems to be integrating very well. Great job! 🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛
She’s doing great, it’s a big adjustment for a cat from city life to a farm.
Ah, I'd love some snow here. I can imagine the kids in my estate going crazy for it. 😄
Sushi is a top cat! 😻😻
She may very well be
You’re living the dream there in the Hidden Spring! Maggie is like my kitties - she’s not really into snow, eh? Good luck with your projects, and, be careful.
It’s funny, she usually goes out in the snow but maybe she’s not into how deep it is now.
Thank you for posting all your varied videos. Seeing that curved tree, reminded me of a term my grandfather used, "widow-maker." Safety First! 😊
Sushi is going to be the top cat in the future.
Love olive loves to play
Can't help it, Everytime I see the sawmill shed I remark to my Wife. " I really like that building". I am probably as proud of the construction as you are. After all we did help!!!!
Aww that’s awesome!!! 👏
I didn't know Mango is also a bit scared like Bubbles. I thought you could just pet him and everything.
Thanks for the video Chad!
Well, all of Maggie’s kids are not very social and it’s my fault really. They were born here in the cat house but at the time it was my workshop which allowed them to just hide all the time. I didn’t do a good job socializing them and wish I could do it over. Bubbles is the most skittish, then Mango and then Tango. Even Maggie is skittish but she came to us as a bit feral so she’s come a long way. I can pet and hold Tango when in the cat house or if there’s treats involved but usually outdoors she won’t come to me just like Mango.
@@HiddenSpringFarm Well, you didn't have experience with cats before and I know from experience that raising cats is not easy anyway. Don't beat yourself up over it, you'll be more prepared next time
@ no I don’t, always learning too. It’s just too bad cause Bubbles is such a tiny cutie it would be nice to be able to shoe her off. I haven’t given up anyway.
I love these videos so much, always curious about how things are going. We live worlds apart, I live in Florida just south of the Kennedy space center. We never have snow here and probably never will lol.
Yup, it’s never boring around here. Always something going on 😉
lol the cats arent so quick out of the gate in winter! i bet they also cant wait for spring!
@@459luker haha definitely
Good saw handling. Wife was impressed with using the pick to pick up the pieces. She really enjoys your videos.
I love the pickaroon, saves me from bending
Spotted a large round thermometer that measures both C and F at the Home Depot and thought of your saw enclosure.
LOL. My 3 dogs Hunt out in the yard for what the wild rabbits leave behind..ak..rabbit poop. But to the dogs it's rabbit truffles 😄
The cats love it too, did you see Chunk nibbling on them? So funny 😆
Loving your site and animals!!😂❤ I've been binge watching all night long!!!!😊
A chainsaw! Find some meat!
Feeling a bit sad for that tree being cut for just standing in the way. But the whole wood cutting setup is so cool!
Great to see the cats, as always 🐈
@@TheBrutalDoomer 🤙
I used wood pellets for litter too. You forgot one really good thing about it, it smells like a pine forest. It's heavy, but so is clay litter.
💯
I saw how upset you were with the tear on your sweatshirt and have an idea how to mend it. You can get an emblem patch of your fav sport team or even your farm's logo and sew it on top of the torn part. You can even add to the other side to match it. Won't clog the landfill with clothing! BTW, really love all your animals and your videos!
@@magnoliatree3271 oh no it’s not trash, it’s great for farm work. My wife told me to bring it home and she’ll fix it. I like the patch idea too 👍
Nice video
Much appreciated!
Me to !!!....Your my Favorite .
@@vin2760 ❤️❤️
Nooice! 😎 STOC
I think Dexter has a 💕💋crush on Sushie!!!
Looks like it eh 😆
Sushi has a sweet meow. She will blend in with the crew in time. Need to get a collar back on Mango. I like that litter u r using. I don't know if they sell that in the US. It's a lot cheaper than car litter for sure!! Lol😊😊😊😊😊love ALL of the cats🐱😻😸♥️give them a hug from me😊😊😘🐱😻😸♥️
I’m sure they do, it’s just wood pellets for pellet wood stoves, very common up here anyway.
@HiddenSpringFarm I'll try checking around down here (US phila pa) and let u know if I find it. I'm in the city so not much use on wood stoves or fire places unless it's older buildings. Most don't have them unless ur in the suburbs or in the country. 😺😺😸😸
You know Chad, cob webs ARE ugly looking, but having them is a good sign, because the spiders are taking care of many nasty bugs.
@@colly1952 haha I hear ya but I think our little barn here is at the extreme 😉
Hi Chad, your darling can stitch a doggie patch on the ripped pocket.
Yeah she told me to bring it home
I tried getting my cat Trigger to do the pellets vs. The litter after having him for a year...he had nothing to do with the pellets...wish he would. The litter is so expensive, like u said. Perhaps one of your viewers can help?! Love fir Olive's concern for when u tore your sweater!😅❤❤❤
Maybe he didn’t like the texture
@HiddenSpringFarm That us exactly it, Chad
Do u suppose I may b able to mix some with kitty litter n see if he will go for that. Glad u mentioned to others the inexpensive of the pellets. That will b helpful to others to perhaps convert to pellets or start out with if they get a new Dexter or Chunk, Sushi, Fozzy....! Wish I had a way to send pic of my girlfriend whom passed n I got her OES, Jaguire!!! And yes, she named a dog, basically a cat! Thx for videos n all you do! Hope things get better soon with new leadership for all of u n all of us! Also, do u or Mama speak french?
Author of Charlotte's Web, E.B. White, was fired from the Seattle Times Newspaper. Things worked out for him 😊
😂
Interesting trivia!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👋
Was there some catnip in the rabbits' hay? :)
And I see you solved the Peavey going out of business problem? Where did you source the feed from?
🇦🇺Can you change the colour of Tango’s collar instead of sushi’s? To make it easier to identify them from a distance in anticipation of sushi going outside.
I may have to 😉
How long before Chad starts writing "REDRUM" in the snow? :)
Well the title to the video had me wondering “Chainsaw and Barn Cats” 😂
That film gave me nightmares as a kid 😝
I wonder what farmers used before we had these products from a store.
@@user-fs6ou3fk9p I think about that often. Especially our driveway, I mean I guess a horse & buggy would just keep riding over it or maybe they were snowed in for a few months. Can you imagine clearing forest by hand to create a field for planting? Hard to imagine the amount of labour that would have been needed back then.
@HiddenSpringFarm I was thinking about access to liv3stock feed. My ancestors who came on the Oregon Trail to the Eugene area homesteaded and grew hops.
14:54 what about those lil bits of wood? Does it just become part of the ground? 🤔🤔🤔
What is the chain sharpener you used?
It’s a Stihl file that has angle guides.
Hey, would u plz remind me your n Mama's former occupations?
Just from someone that heats with wood-just curious why you cut it so small?
@@marysmolarz3741 you mean the length? it’s cut at 16” which is industry standard.
@@HiddenSpringFarm length is fine it’s width that seems tiny.
@ still don’t know what you mean. I cut the tree cause it was bending over into the driveway so normally I wouldn’t cut trees that small. If you meant when I’m splitting…I just do a variety of sizes, when I’m heating the workshop I want the fire to start quickly so I split some smaller.
Sushi still being stush..
I bet you are glad that tree is down now. Makes some good firewood 🪵 🪵 Have a good week Chad and the Mrs. ❤️❤️
All is ok at Hidden Spring Farm! 🥳 ❤️❤️
Yes I used to have to try and avoid it
