Hello from across the Pacific! We are a missionary family watching from Manila Philippines. God Bless your homestead!

[@HappyBurrowHomestead]

Thank you much!! So glad to have you join us!! God Bless!

[@Alteori]

Beautiful! 😍 We just bought 20 acres of woods. I never thought of using pigs to till the land.

[@HappyBurrowHomestead]

Congratulations!! Certain breeds of pigs can clear really well!!

[@heatherd.9390]

[@jeffbee6090]

oh how cool... you are living my dream ...uhhhhmmm, wait there's something wrong here-- Best of luck to ya! can't wait to see more!

[@HappyBurrowHomestead]

Thanks so much and thank you for watching!! Excited to share more with you!

[@grdelawter4266]

What a great starting point! I bought my farm of 20 acres without any fence and no barns. I had to do extensive renovation on the house too. Fencing is expensive, very expensive oh yea, I need a barn or two too! and I guess underground water lines to water the animals no to mention the cost of animals and their feed. I’ll stop there.

[@HappyBurrowHomestead]

It was definitely a blessing to have some of that done already! It sure can get expensive quick! Thanks so much for watching!

[@erinstraub5710]

Indiana…that’s where I am. That’s a massive property! Good luck!

[@HappyBurrowHomestead]

Thank you!! And thanks for watching!! 😃

[@peterellis4262]

Welcome to the adventure! My wife and I moved on to our twenty ,wooded, undeveloped, acres in Michigan in 2017. If I might suggest something, have a look at Greg Judy's work with managed grazing of cattle. It dramatically improves pasture quality ;)

[@HappyBurrowHomestead]

Thank you for the suggestion! We would really love to improve our land as naturally as possible! We will definitely check out Greg Judy! Thank you!

[@grdelawter4266]

I’m also in Indiana, down by the O River

[@HappyBurrowHomestead]

Thank you for the kind words!!! ❤️ and thanks for watching!! Wishing you the very best!

[@zerotoleranceforsataniceli4794]

Thanks for sharing! Lovely place! May I ask - 5.30 in Why did you get rid of the honey suckle completely? It's beautiful. It smells great. It attracts insects. Butterfies love them Bees - I think do. Insects are good for birds etc etc and our ecosystem. Also you have enough space to allow some things to exist purely for its' beauty ! ❤️🙏

[@HappyBurrowHomestead]

Thank you! As to the honeysuckle, it’s very invasive and blocks a lot of the sunlight where it is on the hillside. We are allowing it to grow wild in other areas of our property for all the reasons you mentioned though!

[@mio.giardino]

Love your land, so beautiful! The bank barn 💕 so much covered space will be so useful! I’m sure you’ve been told this before but letting cows near/in the stream area will rip up the banks.

[@HappyBurrowHomestead]

Thank you! That’s a really good point! I would like to retain the banks but find a way to use up the grassy area. Maybe a smaller animal?

[@mio.giardino]

@@HappyBurrowHomestead I’d go as big as chicken or ducks? I’d look at where the water is coming from and going to, you want to be a good stream neighbour. If you want to use the water, perhaps a solar pump to lift it up into a trough that overflows back into the stream? On the same thought, pumping a small amount, slowly, into IBC totes to use if the garden needs it during a dry spell?

[@HappyBurrowHomestead]

@@mio.giardino those are great ideas! I’d love to use the water for gardens! I think I see a project in our future! Thank you for the suggestions!

[@oldmechanic9685]

good video

[@HappyBurrowHomestead]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kl1958]

You have a beautiful flock of chickens. What breeds do you have and what hatchery do you purchase your chicks from?

[@HappyBurrowHomestead]

Thank you!! Our current layers are Rhode Island Red, ISA brown, leghorn and Wyandottes. They are all from Rural King (a local farm store). Our “little” chickens, that haven’t started laying yet are mostly barred rock. There are a few that we aren’t sure of their breeds yet. Those were all from a local school that hatched them out for their kindergarten class and they came from a 4H group. And our meat birds we order from McMurray Hatchery. We did Cornish cross last year and this year we will do them again and also red broilers.

[@kl1958]

@@HappyBurrowHomestead Sounds great! Thanks again!

[@kl1958]

@@HappyBurrowHomestead Very beautiful family flock. I have been away from rural life and some of the breeds I knew but not all. They sure get along well together. I live in south suburbs of Chicago and am in the process of looking for rural property. Still have many family members and friends that farm or have homesteads in the country.

[@HappyBurrowHomestead]

@@kl1958 good luck in your search!! I hope you find what you are looking for!

[@AaricHale]

You guys got a awesome homestead ! I just found your channel . I'm glad to see other fellow Hoosiers make KZbin videos . We are in Sullivan county . What part of the state are you guys in ? Thanks for sharing and have a great evening !

[@HappyBurrowHomestead]

Thank you and thanks for watching! We love seeing other Hoosiers too! We are more central Indiana 😀

[@jerrylovinjesusrhoades6197]

I just saw you're in Indiana. Wow. I was stationed at Grissom AFB in 1972/73 to 1974. Really liked it there. Grissom is near Peru, Kokomo, and Logansport.

[@jerrylovinjesusrhoades6197]

Like your homestead property anx wish you well. Wondering what state you're in?

[@HappyBurrowHomestead]

Thank you! We are in Indiana :)

[@punjabseth260]

nice

[@paulatwood998]

That was a very nice tour with potential more livestock Etc. It appears to be hilly land. Are you in the southern part of Indiana?

[@HappyBurrowHomestead]

Thank you! We are very excited to add more livestock in the near future! I think the hilly land is kind of unique to our property. We are more north and it’s mostly flat in the surrounding area. 😀

[@E.I.C.C_Onwer]

What's inside the cute little cabin

[@HappyBurrowHomestead]

The cabin is from the 1800’s. It has a large open space with a fireplace and a loft as well. If you haven’t yet, check out our newest homestead tour, kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKeteZtnf7Sea9k. We talk about it a little more here. Thank you for stopping by!!

[@zaneymay]

What part of Indiana are you in? I lived in Indiana most of my life. Between South Bend and Kokomo.

[@HappyBurrowHomestead]

We aren’t too far from there! We sure love it out here in Indiana!

[@zaneymay]

@@HappyBurrowHomestead So you are transplants to Indiana, not home grown?

[@HappyBurrowHomestead]

We did not grow up here but we have lived in Indiana before and decided this is where we wanted to grow roots. 💗
