Very unfortunate you feel the need to "justify" or explain your actions/decisions. Nothing but respect from MY end to Josh and Mrs. Stoney Ridge. Haters are gonna hate. Let it go.
Man this must have come out as cocky and condescending to some folks...was meant to be educational and help folks understand...tons of people have been asking about how it's all getting paid for...and most of them think it's some "trick" or "I'm lucky"....I just wanted to make it clear to folks that this is not "luck" it's hard work and dedication....planning and a dream....
Blessed.....yes......Luck? No ......it's called hard work and intelligent planning
Singleman well said. I can't understand why there are people who watch a vlog, only to criticize it. If the vlog involved something that you don't support, don't watch.
+Josh @ SRF....Just keep doing your thing and we'll keep on watching. I'm no Spring chicken. If you WERE actually "cocky or condescending", I wouldn't be here. ANY "successful" person is gonna have to deal with envy and "haters". Not only do we have to WORK to EARN what we have, we gotta FIGHT to KEEP it......Sigh.
+Will R.....Losers hate successful people because they remind them of their own inadequacies. So they spew hate to make themselves "feel" better. And NOW, the 'net allows them to do it anonymously without risking a broken nose.
singleman Amen to that.
Josh you and your wife are doing a great job.You will enjoy it with your future kids.Keep up the great job you are doing.You and your wife are good people.God bless you.
Laughing, learning, successes or failure. It builds character and wisdom. Loving the channel more and more. ...Heartbreak-Stoney-Ridge!
Good on you , bringing back the pastures !! Good management of woodlands is so important . better to have 100 healthy trees , than a thousand sick ones !!!
Recently found the channel through tractor time with tim, and trying to watch all the old videos. Minute 9 of this one gave me a HUGE amount of respect for you and your family. Best of luck to the both of you on this journey, and thank you for taking us along!
Thanks man...yep Tim is a good dude that's for sure....you won't meet a better guy...you can tell him I said it! Thanks again!
That is one great explanation of what you’re doing with the land. Even a tree hugger should understand what you’re doing. I respect what you’re planning to do and wish you and your wife the best of luck with your plan. God bless.
I m glad you told people to go educate themselves. Ignorance runs rampant in our society today. Love the video.
My hats off to you for making it all the way through the questions without a "It's really none of your business..." - and actually chose to educate your viewers... Kudos young man !
Love what you're doing here, Josh! Great thoughts on stewardship of the land. Thanks for taking us on your journey!
Thanks for taking the time to explain how management = conservation. Cant wait to see those beautiful pastures! Keep up the great work!
Good job doing what a working farm is all about. Enjoy seeing your plans in action.
Awh stoney, you didn't have to do any explaining to anyone. Your a good guy, keep up the great work.
awesome job! keep up the good work.
I'm lovin the journey Josh. Keep forging ahead with your dreams man. I'm gonna keep watchin
Josh, your videos are very informative and almost spiritual. As someone who grew up on a dairy farm, I am eager to move out of suburbia and get back to my roots. As Tom accurately stated, you're a good steward of the land. Wooo!
You make a lot of sense to, why would anyone complain about what you are doing. Hats off to you my friend
Awesome vlog!! Most people wouldn't go into detail on how you afford to do stuff like this. I think a lot of us that want to do something like this and watch vlogs like yours instantly think the vlogger had money to begin with so they can play or the land was given to them just because I've seen many where that's the case and it makes a world of difference. Not that it's a bad thing good for them for having been dealt a better hand than most but for most people the land is the most expensive thing, it's everything. Man keep up the good work and hard work and know that there are a lot out here that really appreciate what you're doing.
Thanks so much buddy...I really appreciate this kind of comment
Hard work pays off, you have done the right thing, I wish people would learn this lessons stead of waiting to be given things. Congrats to you 👍
Hi..... Thank you 🎥👍👍👍
I just recently found your channel but it's great! Love watching and seeing you be real on the farm. We're hoping to find some land and do the same in the future. Would love to come see the farm sometime!

Josh I love what you are doing g and what you and Mrs Stoneyridge have accomplished. I'm an old 25 year Air Force guy about to retire soon. My wife and I bought 15 acres with 5 acre pond. We're going to just grow our own produce and chickens. We also own 40 acres of timber we are about to harvest and replant. Thanks for your helpful and entertaining vidoes.
You are doing a outstanding job
Great video bud.
Good video Josh!
Good thinking Josh...plan your work and work your plan!
Josh just wanted to say that a month ago I made a decision to look for a piece of property to call Paradise ! I found a 10 acres here in Florida with 2 ponds a 4 yr old manufacture home and a gun range. I have been watching your channel ever since. Can't wait to move into my new life and thank you very much for giving me inspiration on how to do what I aways dream of !!
That's awesome!
Stoney you are awesome and you keep up the good work you do.
Thanks Josh! Things are looking good.
Thanks Dave!
Keep up the good work Sir.
Thanks for the knowledge
Man I just watched this particular video although I watched many other of your videos. I am a retired prior enlisted officer and give so much good credit for sharing your experience. Drive and motivation. Got lost of respect for you brother.
Stoney
That's called wisdom!
Thanks Errol
I fixed up a plate of insta-like.
Yum.
Enjoying The Stoney Ridge Farmer
Josh keep up the good work. Im a farmer from pa and enjoy seeing your progress.
I love what you’re doin Josh. Keep working your plan. The information you share when responding to the haters is fascinating but don’t let them discourage you. Man you’re a walking encyclopedia of information and experiences! You’re smart and hilarious! 😂. At some point here your subscriber # is gna take off. Thanks for all your doing! 👍🏻 Build that guest cabin(s)!
I was just going to say the same thing as Bill. My wife and I are going to look at 159 acres for sale tomorrow after I get in off the road. Love what you're doing and that's what we've been ben planning for a few years now. Like you know it takes time and patience for the right place to show itself. God bless you both.
You go Joshua.
Lmao love the intro song
You are a good man
One thing you might want to consider now that you have a lot of your trees pushed out. You might want to try logging a small spot your self you will more then double your profit . I did not have a choice when I started but you will like the job done a lot better.
Yep....I've though of this for sure....however we logged around 100 acres and have about 60 more to log. I'd rather get my check and let the loggers do their jobs....take the profit and clear the land in behind them. Logging is very very dangerous....I'll be harvesting trees for milling soon...but this project was way to much for me
Man I wanna do the same thing!!!! I wanna have my beef cattle farm and have my chickens. I’m only 21 and living in the city but your giving me hope haha! Love watching the series and giving me idea for my future farm. God bless you brother
Josh I think your doing great and I look up to you.
2:25 tree hugger
Seems like ppl try to find something to complain (wine) about now very easy.
Love your channel and keep doing what make you happy brother.
Good information and appreciated the financial details. Good to know for anyone considering getting in to this lifestyle.
Guy's and gals we are on Instagram now!!!!!! Stoney Ridge Farmer Instagram: instagram.com/stoneyridgefarmer/
We all need to go back home.
Josh, you are a good steward of the land. 👍👍👍👍👍
Is that Wayfairing Stranger? Really enjoying the transformation of such a beautiful place.
I'm a Civil Engineer- Like what I see (!!) a Plan and have all the right tools
Love the channel!!! A small market use for stumps and figured lumber is to wood workers, some may buy, some may not. Just a thought.
I can see both sides. I grew up in East Texas where we had a ton of trees and had to clear them and brush every year to help lower the possibility of fires, and to help some sunlight get to the ground. Also now living in NM where we don't have a ton of trees they're a luxury, and I would love to have more. We have forest fires every year up in the mountains because there's too much brush and trees. If I had your land I would be doin the same thing. Shoot I envy all your trees, and water. Wish we had some but we live in the desert.
Help a brother out ... Lol . Inspirational as usual. I've got 12 yrs to get to the point you're at in this video.
Keep it up. Thank you for educating me. I will work hard myself.
I could have put more than one thumbs up for this video.
Farm management is important for the farmer and the USA!
Good job Josh you tell em. I just cleared 10 acres it is my fun.
Hey Josh, I am from India.
Really love your channel, watched all your vlogs. Keep the Good work going👍👍👍
Great video,
Your living my dream. Have a few hurdles to get through and then plan on getting land in TN, eastern or central still not sure. Keep up the great work.
I think you have done a awesome job with your farm you have to spend money to make sure that the farm is going to work for you later to come. I understand what your saying and I really love the way you and your wife take care of it. God Bless you guys and I wish you all the best. Catt.🐈 Texas,
Thanks Catt
Good on ya man, Keep on $100 truckin!
You doing a great job brother
You made some great points on being responsible about planning, and follow through. I love seeing the progress!
Hi Josh your 100% right it’s your land and I have to say your making the best choices making rough land into a future investment. It’s your money and your choice and not anybody else’s. I have land and have done something similar (not on your scale) and it’s a great when you see all your hard work turning something abandoned into something great. Keep going mate it’s a life choice and I think your right. All the best Simon.
I have had large dogs. I always kept large dried pig's ears with in reach of the dogs. so when they get chewy they have some thing there.
My dogs love those pig ears too!
Woooooooooo!!!!HeeeeeeeeeHeeeeeeeee!!!Alright!!!!! 🤗🤗
Hey Josh, Great video as usual. Sadly i have to quit watching your videos. My family is making me because i sing and whistle your songs all day long. I cant get them out of my head.
Im just kidding about quit watching, but i do sing and whistle your songs. Really great music man, keep it up.
Good explanation as to how you can afford it. People keep telling me I'm lucky to own 80 acres at the age of 29, but there was very little luck involved. It's been my dream ever since I moved away from my parents farm at 18. I went to college, got a decent paying job and saved my money very aggressively. The newest vehicle I own is 21 years old and I haven't had a car payment in probably 8 years. My old vehicles are cheap and easy to maintain and repair. I have never had cable tv, don't own the newest high dollar smart phones or tv. Heck I haven't bought a tv in 10 years. I just never cared about impressing other people with my possessions. I eat out MAYBE twice a month and hunt for most of my meat and grow some veggies to keep food costs down. If you live the simple life, things are so much easier!
l like your video
Great job and explanation how you pay for. From a mexican guy.
Josh just tell everyone you won the lotto back in 2014 and your putting your money to work. P.s. thanks for loaning me that 30k. We bought a golden goose from keeping it Dutch. He said it’s in the mail....
I love the ending song I can’t remember what his name is but he played for the band white stripes and he played on the movie called cold mountain he’s a great Bluegrass performer when he sings bluegrass music he’s got another song a duet with Loretta Lynn called Oregon But anyways that’s me rambling Josh great videos
Josh, don't get bent about comments from people who don't know what you know.... not worth the energy....... but you did a good job of explaining the why's ... I'm trying to clear the land of my great grandfathers farm in northern New Mexico... clearing chinese elm sapplings with a chain saw.... next thing is to get the root stumps out..... just a few acres but alot of work...
I have a bunch of stumps i have pulled up with my excavator, and more to come. One thing i cant do here in NH is burn stumps. Which sucks. I guess its considered solid waste and its against the law in my state. I need to get creative on disposing it, recycling center wants to charge me some serious dough to recycle it, just for them to sell it as mulch. They should take it for free for that matter.
Once those windrows are burnt, that potash will be great for the soil. All the best! PS: tell the haters to stick it ... just say'n.
More power to you and the missus Josh, the ignorant are always there, if only they would educate themselves, unfortunately there to bloody ignorant/keep going brother your on the right track
Great job, I wish that I was Physically able to do what you’re doing, going on 60 years old and was physical limitations.
Oh, and most people don't understand that forestry and trees are just a longer term crop then corn.
Glad I found your channel
Me too!
Wow .....I can't believe the nerve of people telling you what to and not to do with your land! I just wonder how they would like it if you were to go over to their place and tell them what they should do with their home or what color they should paint their BMW or their living room.... of course not one of them would say anything to your face, they hide behind a keyboard and think they know everything and everyone of them show their ignorance in their comments.
Great video and I hope you and your lovely wife find nothing but success on your adventure, Lord knows you have chosen a hard but an extremely satisfying life! I don't know if you already have kids or not but either way those will be some lucky kids to get to grow up on a new farm and have such good role models to learn from!
I don’t know where your getting all that ambition, let me in on your secretbrother! I need a 55 gallon drum of it!
OH AN I REALLY LIKE YR MUSIC MAY I RECOMMEND THE BAND DEAD SOUTH
Mr Stoney , what are you going to raise on the pasture land ? Trees are long term investment for sure.Sounds like you bought your property at the perfect time !!
