I'm into farming micro animals.. Mealworms, worms, crickets. Mealworms paid for my groceries last summer and a couple of tanks of gas!

[@SheratonParkFarms]

Nice! It’s amazing how you can make a little pocket money with a small amount of effort. Keep up the good work and let us know how it goes this year.

We are about to move back to my family farm in the next month or so to grow as much food as possible. We love your videos!

[@larrybenson3514]

That's my problem I love growing my own food and I always grow too much . I also enjoy sharing with family and friends. I do sell some but mostly I like giving a home grown chicken to someone who has never had one. It always amazes me how many people gave never had real food,as I call it. It feels good to teach people where food comes from and how good it is. I only have a 2 1/2 acre hobby farm but I produce a lot of meat. I enjoy you videos thank you.

[@BJSmith-ll3uw]

The real downfall to the egg production is that too many people sell them too cheap. Then folks think you are crazy when you ask $4 or $5 a dozen because so n so sells em for $2.

[@mom2two06]

I love your farm and the way you do your videos. We live on 21 acres in Ohio and plan to do a lot of what you're doing. It's exciting believing we're not only capable but that we can be profitable. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to every video!

[@SheratonParkFarms]

That is awesome! You can absolutely be profitable on a farm. Thanks for watching.

Aw man oh man! Rooseters and earbuds. Sounds like they're here..on my dinnertable..joining me for some coffee..while watching this awesum vid. Thanks for sharing..i do trading..with my chicken eggs..for avocados...its a win win. I also milk my goats..watend to introduce it to the neighborhood..but its so dang risky here in good ol' Cali. I only share with family..All looking pinky cheeked healthy and strong.

[@lunarrn]

Thank you for the realistic world of making money on a farm. I get so tired of those who claim this one crop or this one animal will make you rich.

[@ubuntunewb]

You talk about how it's not a rich adventure, but honestly if you want to make money(in town job) and buy good quality product, it takes away a good portion of the income you've been making and there is no real guarantee it's been raised/slaughtered ethically. So I'm going to see if it's possible to get a good balance raising these animals ethically and keep my day job with the possibility of selling stuff on the side to Friends and Family.

Nooice! 😎 STOC

[@brentprosser5563]

Really glad you filmed this right next to the chickens so I could hear them instead of all of your information. Lol

Thank you again. I am watching more of your videos and doing less farming. 😁

[@lizbarca5767]

amazing farm you have there you inspire me to start farming 😊 whats the size of your farm, btw ?

[@MetaMorphea]

Well that's all and good giving advice on what you can do. But I think many might need to know how to get from that one and a half acer (or maybe even if they just have a big garden) with no animals. What the best most profitable and quickest way is to get to the point where you are today. You already did the journey and I think that information might help others forward their dream.

[@DayTrader__]

That’s all in money management and budgeting.. got nothing to do with raising animals lol

[@brianboe3774]

Neighbors at one of my properties HATE roosters ... we are on 26 acres in the county. County judge ruled that the other neighbor can’t have roosters .... gotta build the fence then I’ll bee moving some roosters in.

[@kanditanner0713]

Can I sell my meat chickens to neighbors without any type of FDA approvals? I’m in Florida. Thank you. Great info!

[@RehoKevin]

Interesting topic, but I couldn't watch beyond 2 minutes. Way too much noise from the chickens. I keep a flock of 50 hens and I know they can be noisy, but they overshadowed your voice so I couldn't hear the content. Just found your channel and like it so far, looking forward to watching more of your videos.

[@SheratonParkFarms]

I completely understand. I messed that piece up on the video. Appreciate you giving us another chance on other videos and hope we share some helpful information. Thanks so much for watching!

Makes me wish we had more open land!

[@SheratonParkFarms]

I bet so! Be creative though. Bees are easy keepers on a small plot. Had a guy tell me yesterday he is going to do a "pick your own" herbs using hydroponics. I thought that was a cool idea and he lives on a 1/2 acre lot in the city. Appreciate ya'll watching!

@@SheratonParkFarms Hard enough trying to catch a milk goat on the hill! Either I am older or these hills are a lot steeper than when I bought the place. Right now looks like pigs n goats to me!

[@SheratonParkFarms]

They can adapt to steep terrain. Never seen one fall over myself. 😂 but it is fairly flat here.

[@jerryroberts631]

Love your channel, subscribed after watching your first video. You offered solid, down to earth advise that has a real value. I would really like to hear what you have to say but offering such advise in a noisy chicken coops is counterproductive. If ya need the effect of being in a noisy environment and have something important to say, a voiceover may be the solution. Just my 2 cents......................I'm gonna need those back, I'm a farmer too.

[@SheratonParkFarms]

🤣🤣. I’ll drop a check in the mail. Thanks for the feedback. I kinda dropped the ball on that one with the sound. Appreciate y’all watching

[@joelttrout]

Only problem is finding people that will pay $4/dozen for eggs, and $25+/ chicken, when eggs are under $2 and a whole chicken for $8

[@lond2835]

What about turkeys?

[@faroutgenetics59]

How do you have eggs to sell to eat with a rooster? I always was told if a rooster was on the farm them eggs will be fertile

[@SheratonParkFarms]

They are. We just eat them. Nothing wrong with it.

[@trevorstolz8580]

I am 4.5 acres in Northern Alberta. I have a miniature jersey cow. (Google them. They are so cute!) Just like there are miniature jersey horses, there are miniature cows. I kind of got into it because I was a bit intimidated by having a big honkin' dairy cow but I hate the fact that people are now scared to sell raw milk. We grew up in raw milk which my mother bought from a farmer. Miniature jersey cows are a solution. There are so many advantages to have a miniature cow. For example: 1) They eat less in winter; 2) The are kid friendly and non-itimidating; 3) They need less pasture because they are small; 4) They need less rigorous fencing because they are small; 5) they make less manure; 6) They give 2 to 5 gallons of milk day as opposed to 10 to 12 form a big cow, milk which you can't (legally) sell; 7) If you really want lots of milk, two minis are better than one big dairy cow. They are companions for each other and one can be resting while the other is producing milk. If one gets sick, they other might not be, etc. 8) They are expensive, at least $5000. Yes, that is an advantage. The calves which you sell will pay for everything you need to take good care of the cow and then some. I waited two years to get mine. One breeder I know of won't even put you on the waiting list unless you put $500 up front. Because they are so much in demand, you will never have trouble selling them. I once read that during the Great Depression in the 1930's, the difference between being rich and poor was as simple as having a family dairy cow (or two) and a few chickens. Cows, give you all the expensive things, milk, cheese, ice cream, butter, yogurt and beef if she has a bull which you make into a steer. As I am new to this, I won't have a calf and milk until the spring of 2021 but I am surely looking forward to it.

[@lilyc649]

Hi from Manitoba! Just curious where/who you purchased your mini from? And did you get a calf this year?!

[@trevorstolz8580]

@@lilyc649 I got my mini cow from a breeder in Alberta. I'd prefer not to mention names here. However, THERE is INDEED a miniature jersey breeder in Manitoba. The first three letters of her name are COR****. You can find her on "Canadian Miniature Jersey Enthusiasts", facebook page.

[@lilyc649]

Thank you!!

[@jaredrice9404]

to sell stuff like that do you have a business license or an LLC?

[@SheratonParkFarms]

We have an LLC and in NC we have to have a meat handler’s license. Business licenses would be dependent on the county of town you are selling in. Appreciate y’all watching

Well yes and no, these animals need feed, consider availability, cost and cost increases, I guess very pricy meat better than no meat. Of course if they die early....

[@no_handle_required]

I'll never get how someone can raise an animal and then kill it. Makes no sense. Matching the phrase "ethically raised" and then killed for profit is such an oxymoron.

[@how2alive79]

Look at the conditions on a commercial chicken farm and then you'll see the difference.

[@HEADSPACES]

The circle of life. Nature’s law is above all, including any squeamish modern ideologies. If the animals aren’t treated humanely in a healthy environment, nature’s law asserts itself with sickness, parasites, bad meat etc. if treated well till the end of their life cycle, which includes considering the impact on the land, then the whole ecosystem benefits and is more robust, strong and healthy. Nature makes the law, period.
