  • The pole barn addition shell is complete. The contractor starts trenching for water and electricity. Hilarie and I move piglets out to pasture, and shuffle the breeding pigs to different pens in the barn.

    Pete, I just appreciate the way you treat your animals and the way you run your farm. The animals are well taken care of and you have a profitable farm, you are an example for me!

    The new barn addition looks great! Love seeing you and Hillary working together, you two make a wonderful team. Also loved seeing all the animals, especially Billy the pig, he has grown. We love seeing you interact with the animals the way you do. Thank you for taking time to make the wonderful videos we all love so much. 😊

    The big shuffle for the pigs. Billy boy's finally got some company, no wonder he's all excited and breathing heavy. Brownies figuring out how to transition from pig to cougar. Piglets fixing to discover a whole new world. The monsters placing their order for their up-coming last meal.
    The barn addition is looking great, that's going to make life so much easier all around.
    So sorry to hear about Coco's still-born. Life delivers some hard knocks sometimes.
    About time to take your right hand helper to town for some ice cream. Date night is a good thing.

    Hi Pete. I have been watching your channel for a year now. I am not one who responds often but will do so now because I feel compelled. I am a 70 year old retired firefighter/fire protection engineer technician from two careers respectively. My boyhood past and present has always cherished living a life on a small farm, much like you show us. It’s too late for me to take up a life as you put forth for our enjoyment. I watch all the time. Yes it’s what you do that catches the attention of many of us. Don’t stop! Wish I could help out.

    Pete, (and Hilare) you are my #1 favorite channel on you tube. As such, if you run into a financial problem, (for example, recently when you lost 60 hens) I would not have a problem financially contributing to the channel. Just throwing it out there, all you need to do is ask, and I, along with (surely) others, would be willing to help.

    I grew up in the country part of Connecticut (specifically Scotland, CT) & watching this channel makes me so happy and peaceful. My husband's name happens to be Pete and we love watching this channel together since he grew up on a farm down south & we're about to buy & start a farm together. This is both of our favorite channel so we're so excited to be the next generation of what Pete (this channel's creator) wants to teach the next generation. We love u Pete & Hil!

    Dang Pete! You are doing a bunch of housekeeping! The farm is looking great. THanks for the explanation about the piglets on the same plot as last season? When the kids go off to college that drain field will dry up and you can go back to the annual rotation. Those brush piles and christmas trees past make great habitat for little critters and birds. Eventually - they return to the earth too, right. Both the little piglets were real singers! cute as buttons. Thanks for sharing Pete and Hilary ❤

    Thank you, Pete and Hillary for a lovely video. Animals do grieve, this week I have to take my dog to her last vet appointment, I'm bringing Fritz our other dog who is pretty close with her so he can see that she passed. I don't want to leave with Mimi then return without her, leaving him wondering and looking for her.

When I and my husband grew up, we had families that owned farms and loved playing in the barn. Our children missed out on that farm connection although we always went to the county fair. Your videos are fantastic and it’s wonderful to have that virtual connection to share with my grandkids! Thank you
