      @@northernbeachesguy3245 You don’t think learning new things, getting a fresh perspective, and being inspired will help? Do you try to make money at your job? You don’t think it’s ok for somebody to help people, teach people, provide a service, and make money at the same time? Might wanna tell all the schoolteachers, coaches, and farm consultants.

      @@morethanfarmers It will help you, that is all. These people that you casually respond to will never do anything with their lives outside RUclips and you know this. Your so called objective is counterfeited as 99.9% of people watching your videos will never wake up early like you and I do to feed calves, chickens sheep etc. But hey, perhaps you'll prove me wrong and put a call out to one of these wide eyed youtube watchers to see if they'd like to spend a day or so on your farm to truly experience what we do on a daily basis. All being said, the careers you listed above are indeed careers. You're RUclipsrs with a job that you'd happily forego once you have enough subscribers which will inevitably happen due to these doe eyed, lazy watchers who "hope to be one day like you" LOL. You're not teaching anyone anything, you're providing content for money. Plain and simple but just own it and good luck to you all :) Peace!

      You are incorrect. I currently live in a suburb and want to have a small homestead when I retire. I’m learning how to garden now (in a small space) and plan to grow more of my own food later on. I watched one of their videos to figure out how to cure the onions I grew for the first time this year. I will also store my carrots in plastic bags in the fridge like Michelle did this year and I am going to try thinning them more in my fall garden so they will grow bigger. Definitely watching, learning and putting things into practice. Maybe the majority will watch for entertainment but there are absolutely people learning too.

    (Here via the sidebar.) This was wonderful. Even though I try to have as realistic a view as I can, this is still my dream life. I know it's endless work. I'm sure there's much frustration, stress, and tears, especially when you're starting out and trying to learn everything. But I would be willing. Alas, my life situation doesn't make it possible. I'm 50+, single/no kids (not by choice), taking care of elderly parent, and barely working part time. But I love to see people doing it and I wish your family the best. Your kids have no idea the blessing they have. They'll appreciate it when they're grown!

I am so glad I found your channel and you are so encouraging, we don't have the energy we use to so today I hired a friend to help me start putting our garden beds into winter mode, it went so well, we have 3 more beds to do as they are harvested and I am so happy with the progress today. I am in Ohio and heard you mention Berlin Seeds, I have never been there so last Saturday I went to Keim Lumber then to Berlin Seeds, neat store and will be going there often. We live on 5 acres also and get alot done, thanks for all the videos.

    Thanks for doing this video. What people need the most is the TRUTH, the whole truth and the simple truth. People have to remember that you didn't start out with all of this but grew into doing all of this over several years. It's called learned skills for a reason. Look, children doing chores and having responsibilities and it didn't hurt them!!! Chores are the best thing in the world for children!!! I think that break during the day is a great idea. I garden in the morning, then a bath and a nap before moving on with the day. (I'm 70) the heat takes a lot out of me. God bless y'all and keep growing.

    I'd love to see a video on chores for kids and how you came up with that. I'm the homesteader of the family and though my husband is supportive of my urban homestead, I'm constantly overwhelmed since I work full time. I have 1000' of garden and do all of the gardening and preserving, plus everything else in life and I'm drowning. I overthink everything and then get analysis paralysis so just end up doing everything myself 😂🆘

    • @morethanfarmers
      @morethanfarmers  8 месяцев назад +6

      We get that. It's really hard! We've always worked together, and we still ended up getting burned out. Don't let it get that far. It's not worth it. Take on what you can handle, and grow into more. Hopefully your husband will catch the vision 😉 We considered doing a video about the kids chores, but we are also trying not to showcase our children too much. We try not to give em too much, but try to give them enough to at least be a little challenged. It helps them grow in their responsibility. We also pay them. It's not a lot, but enough that they feel rewarded and are motivated. Blessings on your journey!

I thought it was impossible for two guys to clear a 2500 square meter field, and plant out new fields with up a 1000 seeds or seedlings - now I do so on my property here in South Africa, on a much smaller scale. Every day I spend the early mornings and late afternoons outside and do not consider it a labour and the rewards are amazing. You two are an inspiration. Thanks for the brilliant videos.
