Thanks for watching this episode of life on our family farm!
Y'all be good,
Jason, Brooke, MaryCarl, Peaches, & Nugget
Cog Hill Farm & Homestead
Thank u I was one of those people who ask. PLEASE DO A DANCE FOR US. WE LOVE TO SEE U DANCE. DANCE JASON, DANCE.
Am I the only one who cried tears of happiness through out the video? I love these people.
I bawled buckets of tears, such joy
I cried a bucket SLAP FULL of tears of joy!!! 💕💕💕
For sure!! Wonderful family & human beings caring for animals of all types, caring for other people.🙏🙏❤🤗
Brooke, you do not give yourself enough credit and you would be surprised at how many of us would enjoy seeing you. Pick up that camera and play with it. Trial and error. You'll be amazing.
I agree! Just need to be confident and run with it. You can teach MC to edit as a school lesson. She could use that in the real world....you know, she's got to leave the farm some day.
Agree!
AMEN! Just do it! :)
Mary Carl could have her own kid’s channel for her chickens and flower garden . Jason you could teach her editing and all about business by getting her own merchandise. Kids would love to watch her channel.
Absolutely great idea
Thats a great idea!!
This crossed my mind while I was watching. Great idea!
YES!!! What a great idea 💡
YESSSSS
Jason, you will never regret this decision. The best to you all
We want to see EVERYTHING! LOL!
1. How you’re planning/building/laying out the new farm.
2. How you’re deconstructing the existing farm.
3. Cooking/recipes!
Yep! Show us all of it.... if you record it, we will watch it.
Blessings from North Mississippi
YES - what you said. We want to see everything. They’re pleasant to watch their journey
Admen !! I AGREE with the cooking videos and need to understand more about the dehydration system. Do you rehydrate the food?
All of it, I will watch
White board is a great idea.
Your channel is wholesome and calming. I love how you all treat each other with kindness and patience. I love listening to Jason talk to the animals. You are all a breath of fresh air.
MaryCarl should have her own kid RUclips channel. Teaching kids about chickens & ducks and what it’s like living on the farm
Hey Jason, I was also employed as a part time funeral dude! Picked up deceased, delivered flowers, washed cars, dressed bodies, drove families... It was truly an honor to serve people during such trying times for them. My full time job was as a firefighter. I retired from the fire department after nearly thirty years. My last shift, upon leaving, I sat out in my pickup and cried. When you work at something for so many years it becomes a part of you. Now I am blessed to get to spend all my time with my family. Jason you made the right move.
I love you so much. Thanks for providing the best of your family!
I don't think you will find anyone that will say no to another video each week but I would suggest, to begin with so you don't get stressed, doing a surprise (nonscheduled) video of the other types of videos you want to try (cooking, flowers, etc) see the feed back. You don't need to decide right now. Enjoy all the new "free" time lol
I think this is a good idea. Enjoy the time and work your way into this amazing freedom.
That is a good idea!
I agree! 🤔 I noticed this is the channel I enjoy watching the most but I am happy with the great quality of topics. If you have a video that is an extra/special one to share that sounds exciting 😲 if it not every week.
So happy for you guys! 😂 It's the only video both my toddler and I can watch. She loves all the animals. 🐔 🐽
Agree :)
This☝️
This almost made me tear up. Such a good father. Gos bless you brother Jason.
I'm the same way, got a little choked up watching this and seeing how happy they all are with the decision.
I did the same, I am so pleased to have found their Channel recently. What a lovely family.
Amen
@@sarahbrewer8945 have you ever seen Jason dance?? 🤣🤣🤣
No carpet!
Quit my job at UPS in January of 2020 after 23 years! I was terrified but looking back it was the BEST thing I have ever done! I’m HAPPY and the good lord has provided! God bless y’all I’m happy for y’all the lord will bless you! Enjoy your family and new adventure!
I quit nursing about 43 years in January 2020. Best decision ever.
I would love to see all of that content here. Cooking, teaching, vlogging, moving, growing, planning... all of it here. Can't wait to watch you all grow tremendously.
Jason is on the loose now. Run like Nugget and enjoy your family and enjoy your life. How perfect. Y’all are so blessed. 🕊❤️🕊❤️🕊❤️
"Run like Nugget" sounds like a Tee shirt to me.
@@christinedehn3257 WONDERFUL idea!!
I’ll buy one. Love Nugget.
Never loose that “I CAN” mentality
congratulations on your retirement and on your farm
I would love another video. There is never a cog hill video that I don't just love. New farm, old farm, chicken info, big O footage.... just family silliness...I just love them all. Can't get enough Cog Hill!! I'm so happy for your family. It's a beautiful journey yall are on and I'm so thankful you bring us along!
Congratulations on your new adventure. This deserves a dance party with Peaches and Nugget.
It is beyond wonderful to see good things happen to wonderful people. Y’all are the American Dream come true, so take it, run with it, and reflect daily on your successes. Proud of ya!!!
In a time when many will never be able to realize the American dream, too. Or losing the one they had.
I doubt there is a nicer family that I have watched on RUclips. I'm very happy for you.
Congratulations Jason and family. I think it’s funny how Mary Carl wants to eat dinner later 😂. Garden tours are always fun. But I’ll watch whatever you guys make for us. Your videos are always fun to watch but t this one especially brought a smile to my face. How did Peaches take the big news?
My wife turned me in to y’all a few years go and Jason, this made me tear up a little. I’m in the same boat. I want to do my channel full time and give up this day job at Dallas ISD as head mechanic in the small engine repair department. If I can hold out 7 more years then I can retire which is prob a better plan.
The way she looks at you. With such love and pride and excitement. Your a great husband and father. I look forward to seeing y'alls move and new home build and farm.
Heck yes!! A daily video from Cog Hill would become my new favorite series. This is better than anything on the television! 😃🥰
I am amazed at the changes you all have made in 3 years. Great progress.👏👏
Funeral director? Any spooky stories?
And Mrs. Coghill is absolutely right. We have this chance now to live our lives. Do what you Love, do what makes you a better human and a happy human.
I too homeschool and Homestead. Love this channel and wishing y'all the BEST
You have won the lottery of Life Jason. Such a well balanced, positive, loving family with the right priorities. May your hopes & dreams come true!
So happy for you guys like I've said live your dream while you can. Don't wait till your old and retire. It may be too late then.
That’s the true
Thanks for your endorsement Danny and Wanda. I know hearing encouraging words from you is a great benefit and comfort to Jason and Brooke.
Mr Danny and Mrs Wanda, y'all gonna have to give Jason and Brooke that nudge in the right direction to get them a "big boy" and "big girl" greenhouses so they to can be like you two and become "Undercover Gardener's"! 👍😉
I agree with you completely.
I completely agree with you!
Hey CogSquad, we are so, so very happy for you all. We love SydneySue's idea about a kids chicken and flower channel for MC and would love to see how you go about building your new farm from the ground up would be very interesting. You know, basically anything you both do will be worth watching. We watch you because you are such a loving and committed family. You respect each other, and your animals and your attitude towards life is so positive, uplifting and hopeful. Learning from you is a bonus! I pray God light your path on the next leg of your journey. Congratulations!!
Just rewatched this, 3 years later. Fun to see how everything has developed from these initial explorations.
A Garden channel could go along with the cooking channel.... like a HOW TO grow and eat it channel!
That's wonderful news!!! Congratulations to your family and farm! Well deserved...
I know you probably won't read this but i am so happy for you and your family. Just start living your dreams please just take it one day at a time it will all come together. Jason remember that video you did (I CAN VIDEO ) well my friend you are. 5 stars to you three.
Yes, would definitely watch. All the best to you on your new adventure working together at home. Just so beautiful to see a lovely family loving each other.❤️❤️❤️
I'm pretty sure MaryCarl can learn the editing and teach it to mom, then start her own channel about birds and flowers, saving the earnings for college or whatever...once mom learns the video techniques she can do the cooking channel....you're all so very talented and smart!🥰
Are you kidding!!! We want to see it all!! I would watch you every day!
It is so nice seeing these old videos, the last one I saw was MaryCarl being born and Jason putting that Pacifica in his bath that was so funny. I love seeing this.
I am so proud to watch your farm and family GROW. You gave us Cog Squad a GIFT with all your channels. And MaryCarl having your support. BEST IDEA for all of you. I am addicted.
Yay!Does that mean more videos for us?? Heehee 😎😁 ❤
Yes please that would be good.
Wisest decision you will ever make. I am so happy for you! I changed "careers" 6 years ago when I was 42, from an international corporation to homesteading. I have no regrets what so ever. Now I invest in my family instead of chasing an illusion of fulfillment.
I love how you emu runs around makes me smile planting , flowers it's all fun.
YES! Mini HOW TO about gardening subjects. 2-3 minutes!!!! You’ll be able to post multiple videos but film 1 whole process! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Brooke looks so happy! Congratulations, Jason. 22 years, I would say you retired early, to go to work on the farm. Hope you get a bit more rest. 👍🏼
His job has just started.
I was 45 years old when I got my CDL and began my lifelong dream of being a truck driver. You’re never too old to follow your dreams
Hell yeah! Good job.
I was 53 when I did it, back in 2010. Retired now, married a man who was also a truck driver, but local... gravel and construction. He FINALLY retired last June, full-time. The company he was working for, after he unofficially retired when he turned 62 (3 years ago), kept asking him to come back and help, and he didn't have the heart to say no, until last June when he decided he'd had enough of it.
long haul trucking is boring, you think you see a lot of things but you mostly just see the dotted lines going by
@@wavytiger1 Depends on your POV. I didn't find that to be the case. :-) I love to travel, always have been. No hesitation about jumping in my vehicle, and traveling cross-country on the spur of the moment, so long-haul was in my blood. Have done this since I was a child, when my parents would take us kids cross-country on trips. To me, growing up, that was normal. I'd wanted to learn to drive a big rig since I was in my 20s, when I worked in Safeway Stores' Distribution Center, in the Truck Repair Shop as a secretary (back then, that was the title... today, it's administrative assistant). So I was around the trucks, climbing in them to do some of my work that was required. I got promoted to Parts Manager and so it would be my responsibility to make sure those trucks got the parts needed for service and routine maintenance. That meant climbing on the rigs. So I wanted to learn to drive them. Because of the unions, I couldn't even start up a rig just for safety reasons, let alone just move it from one spot to another. The teamsters and mechanics had to do it. I was jealous. Not any more!
I'm OBSESSED with the idea of y'all having a cooking channel!!! ❤️
Wonderful 😊👍
I'll watch an extra video each week as long as Jason and Peaches are DANCING!!!
More, Everything, mowing, growing, hatching, building, designing, Smiling, Laughing, Ratting, Dancing. You film it , I'll watch it ...
My biggest Wish is that we could be real neighbors. Tears of Joy for your Family !!
An extra video each week dedicated to the new farm and building the new house would be awesome
Please, there are enough cooking channels. Love to see the new farm and the process taken in building it up from scratch.
If you made 3 videos a day 7 days a week I would watch all of them. I like watching the way all three of you interact with each other. No matter what you guys do I'll be watching along with all the other subscribers.
AMEN!! CANT GET ENOUGH OF COG HILL!
Mrs.cog hill given that big cheeker to Jason was the sweetest thing!!
Lol right 😆😆😆😊
Best Decision You ever made! I too was as happy as Ms Brooke when my Husband Retired 14 Years ago.. And Look at Y'all Now.. 40 areas and so many New Animals.. and Your First RUclips Break!!
Wow, Mary Carl is so cute at this age....love to go back and see the older vlogs...I am a huuuge Cog Hill fan!
Yes yes yes ! I would watch you 7 days a week 😀 The Cog Squad is going to grow. God bless all of you
I am so happy for y’all! After my Dad retired, he used to say he didn’t know how he ever had time to go to work, and he wasn’t nearly as busy as you are. God will bless you if you put Him first in your lives. Enjoy y’all so much.
I love your enthusiasm and the way you all work together. Brings tears to my eyes! Xx
I'm so happy for your family! I love how you prioritize each other. It's a joy to watch! I have no doubt that you'll be successful in whatever path you choose to go down. I look forward to seeing the progress on your new farm and whatever new videos that you post. Also, I have raised my five kiddos and it does go so very fast. But it's also rewarding to see them all as adults and know that they've grown into amazing humans! I believe that Mary Carl's childhood is going to be something that she will look back on and see it as magical! To have two parents that support her passions and devote themselves to her learning and happiness is such a blessing.
You two are so adorable! Just sending up so much praise! Does it not feel like a miracle?
Hiwmuch more beautiful our world would be if we had more fathers like you Jason. Bless you all with all the new doors opening, so super cool to see people living their dreams.
I've followed yall forever! Don't know how I've not seen this one. Brooke looks soooo young in this one! Oh my goodness! I LOVE THIS!
39 years later I still love my job. Did farm in my youth and miss farming. I do water my orchids everyday at 6:00 am. Keep enjoying your life style. Very cathartic to till the ground; plant; care for and harvest. Picked tomatoes in my brother's field recently. Nothing tastes better.
I grew up on a 72 acre farm, went into the military at 17 and retired after 23 years....I came home to my own homestead so I know how hard it is to make that decision with the fears of the unknown. But it's working for me and it'll work for you too.... y'all have a good day on the Cog Hill Farm 🐔
Jason, I will turn 65 in 17 days. You young man have many years left to teach Mary carl all you can and to drive Brooke crazy, lol. In 2005 I became disabled and can nolonger do the homesteading dream. But since i have found your channel, i started living that dream through your family.
I can't wait to see what you put on that 40 acres. I never required much sleep eather.
You can do alot in 21 hrs a day.
You asked what we want to see, more of everything. Your so fun to watch because of all the different things you do and take care of.
Congratulations
Brooke you do not want concrete flooring! it's not easy to clean. i went too many yrs on concrete. I'm so excited to have real flooring. I'm excited for you retiring early. can hardly wait to watch your growth.
you think you'll have more time ha!
@@ardenpeters4386 it's not about having more time. It's about working for yourself. And at your own pace. Working your own homestead negates the need to buy anything at a grocery store. And you can sell your own meat, eggs and produce. The farm pays you and itself...
@@ardenpeters4386 the modern concrete polish flooring , is easy to clean , and look so good , my son go in all the house , it is amazing , in Australia everybody now has it . You can make it look like a marble floor , it look good and it is super easy to clean .I highly recommanded it .
I'm totally gobsmacked - you are the third youtuber and homesteader that I follow who have given up their day jobs to full time homesteading. Congrats and very best wishes to you and your family -- Oh HECK YES - you don't realize how an old lady looks forward to your Vlogs.
Just made your egg Custard pie for the 1st time tonight. We had pork roast, Rosemary potatoes, greens, cornbread, & pie. It was a big hit. We love y'all! Bring on the coghill cooking channel or anything you want. We just love y'all and whatever you do, that's what we want.
I'm so happy and excited for you all! Recently, my husband and I decided that I will resign/retire in 2-4 years so that I can start my homestead dream. It's such a relief just having a plan. I can imagine it's a little scary actually handing in the papers though. Best wishes to you for continued success!
Mary Carl just won the lottery! Daddy staying home, too. It’s funny, 90 years ago almost all parents go loved in the rural “country” stayed home! They worked for themselves. God bless you!
Yes. A fan mail day blog once or twice a month. You don't have to read all of it, but just acknowledging your fans.
Oh this should necessitates a Cog Hill Throwdown Dance.
Wow, you have come a long way in just a couple year's. New farm, new dog, Victorian pigeons, and old tractor. Very happy for you.
I would love to see the whole process. How you plan, move, whatever you have time to film. I'm so excited for you all!
When I saw the thumbnail I was like “no way Jason was a car salesman. He’s wayyyy to nice” lol. I’m really happy for you guys
Mary carl can start a teaching video, she knows more than the average child!!!
Love you guys, i am in for whatever you choose to do. I will be watching every step. You guys are what America is all about, dreaming and seeing them through to fruition.
I call you my farm family!!! disabled living alone I get such joy by seeing your love for each other ....each of you're relationships with each other is absolutely precious I'll be tuned in every episode ❤
You should have a channel called "from the garden to the kitchen".
My fav is your transition from one farm to the other and your interactions with all the animals, I love listening to all of you.
Congratulations on your early retirement and giving yourself more family time, what more could you ask for, your a beautiful family and deserve all the love and enjoyment you are about to receive.... a loving fan from Scotland UK ❤
I would watch any videos you make. Love your channel. Every video is fun, entertaining, educational etc.... You made me cry when Brooke kissed Jason and your excitement is contagious.
Congrats!!! Gardening and flowers! That would be wonderful! Plus if Mary Carl loves flowers that would provide a side business for her!
Enjoy your new found freedom!
I'm so happy for you folks that your channel has grown enough to support you. I am not a creator, just a viewer & subscriber. I'm not wired to put the amount of time into creating that you all do. I'm 71 & worked in my career until last year. I'm done making money, I just want to relax my schedule & pay attention to my Grandchildren & my three adult Children!!!
I would watch a cooking channel if you use your garden produce and show us different ways to prepare things. I love the market garden idea. Congrats on “retiring” and look forward to what comes next for y’all.
Yaaas! But i would want the content be all on this same channel. I hate having many channels to watch for the same family . But i would Support a kids channel if his daughter decided to have one
I would be all for a Cog Hill Farms, Mrs. Cog cookbook. I would buy it!!!
Yes,yes,yes ! More ,more, more!!! Everything ! I love you all! Be Blessed Always ♥️
If you only knew how much we love you, or at least I do your compassion and your love for each other and all those animals my heart has grow 3 sizes since i have been watching. Love that your following your dreams ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love the idea of a teaching channel for gardening 🧑🌾.
The times that Mary Carl takes the camera is great!
I am watching this on June 26, 2024. I didn't know this information. I started watching daily when you were just living in the camper at the 40 acres...
If y'all had 7 days of videos, I would watch. Love watching your sweet family and animals. Especially Nugget.
I would watch 7 days if you posted them... I love to see everything .. the growth, the chores and the projects.... no need to build another channel, if you post cooking video's most will watch and you wont have to wait to grow before monetization
When I saw your tag line, I ran into the kitchen to tell my husband about your good news. We are both so happy for ya’ll! Couldn’t happen to a better man. Love your sweet family.
cooking, gardening, and flowers, to fuel the body and the soul
New Subscriber here as of yesterday. Stumbled across your channel and have been binge watching. I'm 75 years old and never tire of watching happy families do what they love. Showing my great grandsons your channel because they love animals so much. We are country folks living in North Carolina and look forward to keeping up with your guys from now on. Live your dream.
If anyone deserves to be able to do this, it’s ya’ll. There are no better people in the world to do this! I can’t speak for everyone but I can’t wait for a gardening series with ya’ll being able to show us your favorite gardening tips hints and ways! Or to watch you build your house!
Yes, me too! I looked into the barndominiums and they look awesome! Can’t wait to see them build it and not to mention the gardening whether flowers or vegetables! Such a great family!
I sure do look forward to the gardening lessons, you got me motivated to do my first time Ever👏🏼🤩🙋🏻♀️🌶GARDEN🧐🤔& l am a great- Grandmother Of 74 years young...l think l planted my potatoes upside down 🙃 And my carrots are tooooo close together 😂🤣But l will continue, it makes me Happy... thank you all & God Bless Your Family🙏🙏🙏👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🌹🌹🌹🌶🌶
It was my lucky day when I happened upon Cog Hill. This change reassures that you are not going to drift off. Congratulations. BIG CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
I absolutely love watching your videos. I live my homesteader life through you. I would watch them every day. What a sweet, blessed family you have.
Cog Hill Farm about to BLOW UP!!
Y'all are awesome I wish you great success. Your baby girl is blessed to have family around her.
I'm 71 and I just started a gourd farm. It's never too late to try something new.
great job and best of luck
Ah! “ I’m excited. She is excited. We love you” made me cry! You guys are so blessed!
Same!
So happy for your family. Jason, congratulations on your retirement. Your coworkers will always be an extended family. I know MaryCarl and Brooke are ecstatic!
You guys are my favorite farm family..yall are raising your daughter like I was raised..Amazing parents..Marycarl is so lucky to have you both . 😊❤
Are you going to start a Patreon? You would be surprised how many of us would love to support you and the channel. Congratulations!
This 👆🏻
Why do they have to have patreon to get support, could send a check in the mail or Facebook pay... And still allows free content for everyone else who can't afford patreon.
@@albanymountainhomestead It’s just another income stream for them. Almost all the homestead youtubers that I watch also have Patreon.
@@albanymountainhomestead It doesn't even mean their content will move, it's just an easy way to donate to channels. Some have special additional materials for patreons but still have plenty of content if not all their content still on the main RUclips space.
@@albanymountainhomestead well I would say different options for different people in how they are inspired to support them:)
When Brooke said, “ concrete floors”, i thought that a perfect home would be a BARNDOMINIUM..... A 👍 yup
Brooke we have an addition with concrete flooring that has radiant heat in it. It is the best thing! Wonderful heat so your feet are not cold!
7000000000000000000000000000504
I’m here from the future.. 🌈I’m loving going back on the videos on the old cog hill and now watching the cog hill 40 . ❤❤
I'm so happy for you all. I know MaryCarl and Mrs. Coghill will love you being home. I pray that everything falls into place with the videos for you. Have fun doing what you love. Stay safe, stay well!
