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, 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.

This is unbelievable!! I'm a kid, but my dream is to have a homestead when I am older. Since I can't do it now, I'm trying to learn all that I can about livestock, gardening, and building. That chicken coop/gazebo is beautiful, and so is everything else!
Thnx for the comment. You have a lot of time to do it right. First dream, then plan, learn and save. It's a very rewarding lifestyle choice and for u to be thinking about it at a younger age is AWESOME!!!
I suggest keeping a journal. Jot down ideas and techniques learned. Vital skills. God bless you
@@foreversettled9144thats actually a great idea, i love that!
He's right about the the chicken coop!! It's my favorite of the outbuildings. Second favorite is the old barn for Billie and Bobby. 🎉🎉
I’m also a child I’m hoping to be like you when I’m older your so inspiring
The LORD has blessed you and your darling with such a variety of skills and the result is your beautiful home.!!❤❤❤
Yes, thank you
I second that ❤️
Wow you two are an incredible team ….are you sure y’all aren’t related to Noah lol …those are some lucky animals so loved … y’all have come so far continued blessings wished…
Could have watched this for hours---Such a kind and gentle way of doing all this.
😎
Watched it for 8 minutes, until that kind and gentle headkick to the dog 😅
Your building skills are far more than limited at this point. Your creations/builds, garden area are all truly gorgeous. No one would be able to tell you're not a carpenter by actual trade. You & your darling are incredible. Topped off by all the genuine love & care shown to each & every creature that lives there. Can't wait to see how much you reap from the garden this year.
Aww thanks a million, hopefully it’ll be another record year in the garden as I have some more improvements to make.
The way you call her your darling is so sweet 🥹 your carpentry skills and creativity are astounding!
We’re married almost 30 years, I’ve just called her my Darlin ever since. Thnx for the comment 😊
I'm loving all that you are doing there.That octagon chicken coop,amazing ! Wow look at your skill!! All of your animals look happy and healthy & those sheep dogs🥰😍 beautifully groomed and the cats and kittens love them! Keep up the good work!❤
Great design for the whole farm! Your carpenter skills are amazing. Happy animals, happy plants and happy couples indeed. ❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Good lord, this man is a human treasure. 😅 Any person or animal in his care is a very lucky being indeed. It brings peace to my life of quiet, desperate nihilism knowing that even if everything collapses, people like this will make it and continue the species.
Godspeed, fine sir. You are living beautifully for the rest of us who perhaps cannot.
Aww thanks for the kind words 😄
11:33 That's a HUGE project even for a skilled carpenter. Amazingly done, Sir!
FANTASTIC!!!!!!! Excellent job!!! God bless you!!!!
Because you love animals, because you built them houses, you are a blessed man.
You warmed my heart and soul.
Right on! 🤙
I love how well you take care of the animals and the kitties, great job on all your projects, love it.
My man here is taking Harvest Moon to a whole new level.
We just bought 10 acres and plan on homesteading. I can tell you really love what you’re doing and care about providing for your wife. I love it. This has given me a lot of ideas for how we’re going to setup our small farm. Thanks for the video!
That’s terrific thanks for the comment, best of luck
where did you buy? For how much? Curious because 10 acres is what I want haha
This is the MOST beautiful farmstead that I have seen! You are a very talented handy man. ! love all the animals and how you take care of them. I hope that you get to enjoy it for many years to come. TYFS!
Wow, thank you!
I can't decide if I'd like to be one of your cats or one of your ducks. This was hypnotizing and very inspirational. Thank you!
All the animals hanging out with you while you build 😂 you're like a badass Disney princess
Haha YES!!! 👏
This is a dream! I have been smiling throughout this entire film. I'm loving this so much.
Loved the recap and all your projects. You have and are creating a beautiful dream space!
Glad you like it!
I’m a med student and some times, when I’m burned out, I watch your videos and I’m like “why don’t I do that instead of being a doctor?”! Love your work ❤
Small towns need doctors to. Why not do both?
I love the design of all the buildings that you have made for your animals 💚
Thank you! 😊
@@haiderAli-wy9bd I’d consider raising pigs for meat in the future but these are Juliana pot bellied pigs and are very small and slow growing by the time you get them big it would have cost too much to feed. I sell the babies as pets.
This is the best video I've ever seen. This is my and my girl's dream and hopefully we are able to do something like this in the near future.
Greetings from Portugal.
I’m sure the rabbits and other farm animals will also love the fruits of your garden. This is amazing!
Exactly, I have a video on that. The Animals Revel in Our Abundance

Hi, you did a great job ! We need more people like you on the world! Hallo from Irland 😊
Wow, thank you!
What a beautiful property and STUNNING chicken coop! Incredible work. We are getting ready to rebuild the coop that was on the property we bought, it had to be torn down. While I doubt we will do anything this exquisite it’s lovely to see and get the wheels turning! Thanks for sharing. 🐣🌸💛
Your love to the animals is warming my heart 🥰
Lots of greatings from Denmark 🙏
Aww thanks
Bunnies are good eating. Rabbit was sold commercially in California when I was there many year ago.
Amazing man...great job...great setup for yourself and family. 😊

You are living my dream life ❤, truly inspiring for a youth like me ✌🏻, what you have built over the years is amazing 🙏🏻, this is the first video I saw of your channel and I subscribed right away ❤️✌🏻
Lots of Love from India ❤️🇮🇳
Keep Growing 👍🏻❤️
Wow, thank you!

this is so relaxing to watch.
Gentlemen farmers amaze me! I never understand if it’s about beauty or health. But why not both? 😊
Loving this, Thankyou! 🌻🇦🇺
Glad you enjoyed it!
I just found your channel last week and I am so enjoying watching your videos. You have a very calming story teller voice. Your farm is amazing.
Thank you so much!
This is amazing. The Lord really has blessed you with fruitful land, fruitful animals, and more than enough means and resources to do it all. God created man to work the garden in Genesis and this is pretty close to it haha! What you and your wife are doing is amazing. And so inspiring for a young married couple like my husband and I. This is what life is all about and how it should be. We need to return to our roots as a society! ❤
Thank you to you and your love for taking the time to film all this, edit, and teach the next generation.
This is so impressive! What an absolute dream. We planted all dwarf trees (as second year whips)so we had fruit in about a year. Can't wait to have a real orchard. Much love from a fellow Canadian
That’s great. Food security first decades. We planted a bunch off trees some of which are dwarf too. We get a few fruits on them but that’s about it. Some issues with Japanese beetles the past two years eating all the leaves. We’re looking forward to all the fruit too. Thnx for the comment 😀
@HiddenSpringFarm yes!! We are about 2 hours south of you guys and the Japanese beetles eat everything!! So annoying
Your pets are living an luxurious life man hhh
Oh how i love this!
New subscriber here. I am amazed at all that you have created. Very happy for you.
You would make a good dad.
Wow! I’m amazed at how much you have accomplished in 3short years. You did all this and still work full time! I’m amazed. ❤️
Aww thnx. I’m a hard worker by nature so farm life is a good fit for me. Lots of 14 hr days and late night editing. Sometimes I amaze myself too 😆
FANTASTIC❤
awesome! totally awesome
Wow! Amazing!❤

😀
Amazing video, amazing homestead.
Thanks. I needed inspiration to get stuff done.
I LOVE the octagonal coop--such a smart way to divide them up. I'm thinking I may want to do something similar now!

Hey Chad! I (and probably many others) subbed after watching (and learning from) the airtag cat collar video, and wow, this channel and its journey has been such a treasure to follow along!
Big 👍👍 from the UK here. Love your work and way of life. I'm mostly a lurker but thought I'd leave a comment just to say how awesome these videos are & hope it continues to work well for you & the Mrs 😃
the Apple AirTags is how I found them too. I Googled Airtags on Cats and found the BEST .... I haven't missed an episode and I look forward to the new ones every Monday and Thursday
Aww that’s so awesome 👏
Thnx for the comment. As a creator you never know which videos people subbed from but a bunch of my barn cat videos have gained me a lot of new viewers. Thnx again.
It's awesome how you treat your animals. Love to see what you've built. Great vid :)
You are so kind 😊
The ducks love love you because you are blessed
Seeing Bobby the pig as a toddler was so cute! I must write this Chad but you and your Darling have given farmers so much more respect and recognition for all the hard work involved! I am like "WOW" and to see how much you have built on your own, you need to take a bow Chad,👏👏👏👏👏👏 you are fantastic and you did an equally fantastic job with your dream farm because it is a dream. Your sheepdogs, Molly and Olive are just heaven. My brother has always had sheepdogs and I have fallen in love with them because they are loyal to the heart and just beautiful animals. Sheepdogs=❤! And the love does not stop there with your ducklings, your chicks, those naughty geese are funny as hell, remind me of my grandmother when she would guard the kitchen and not allow us kids to touch the pies until they were cooled down😂🤣😹. Your two sets of piglets are a joy to watch and don't get me started with the Claw crew, total cuteness and adoration.😻I always look forward to watching your vlog because I learn so much and I get to dream and imagine "maybe I can do this?🧐". It's just nice to dream and your narrative is fun, you're hard working and humble, you care about the environment and your animals. Thank you for sharing and know that I always have you and your Darling and your animal family in my prayers, only praying for the best because you are deserving.👍👏👏👏😹❤️🙏
I was going to write same!! LoL can I just say DITTO!?? LOL🎉🎉
It’s very special and rewarding for us to be able to slowly realize our dream. Project by project this paradise is getting further developed, can’t wait share more.
💗💗💗💗Love this Farm and you are the best 🎎⭐🌟🌟🌟🌟🐾🐾🥇
You are so kind
Perfect life and video. Thanks alot

Hello from PEI . I just found your channel. We left Toronto and moved to the country in PEI. I shall keep watching bye
I really appreciate to not see this poor Cornish Cross breeds in a Northe American Homestead video, but old breeds instead. I really love your builds. They are unique, great built and a highlight on your property. And of course the garden: awesome!
