Arguing with Turkeys (Evening in the Barn) | Homestead Family VLOG

[@lajohnson1967]

I know you have a lot on your plate right now, but would you consider writing a kids book featuring your goats?! I think you could use them to tell a story about the importance of excepting everyone no matter how “unique” they are. Every time I see the white one with her buck teeth I just see a fantastic character for a kids book.

[@CynBay]

FANTASTIC Idea! I would buy one for me😊

[@RobinFabel]

Yes I would buy two!!

[@ria9881]

ooh, or you could have Morgan do it! It could be a collab! lol I love this idea!

[@baileywright3113]

You should write it!! ❤

[@anastasiawuellner2344]

I think Bear would be a great main character, too!

[@09echols]

My great uncle use to say mean pigs taste better. I asked him why and he said because you don't care as much when you have to take them to the butcher.

[@FranklyFranky]

I love when Jess ironically asks are you talking to the turkeys and Maya 100% genuinely respond yes because that is totally me. I’m 100% having a full bickering match with group of turkeys.

[@emilydebary4738]

Same here! I had just come inside from begging two of my hens to come down from from a huge oak tree about 40 feet up. They wouldn't listen. Just sat up there talking sassy back to me😂😅

[@ria9881]

Ben, you're a boy after my own heart! I'm a knife girl. Jess, we have been having a real mild spell up here in CT too. Very unusual, but I got to throw some garlic in the ground for the first time ever so I'm excited about that. Fingers crossed🥨 that they grow! I know that the boys aren't going back to homeschool quite yet, but I can SEE a difference in them. Since you moved they haven't been as active when they were in your videos. Today they were excited about it. My heart about melted when they helped you bless us. I'm so happy for your family! Blessed Be!💖

[@cherylmcnaughton7287]

I am too! I love good knife craftsmanship. Between my guy and me we have a ridiculous collection - some beautiful, some just everyday tools ♥️

[@Mphscat]

That's the most precious child. Ben wants to be a part of it all which will help him his entire life. He's a self professed professional with a knife he says ❤. It's so great your kids will be able to learn real life skills with home schooling to come and will be better for your animals as well. Great decisions have been made indeed.

[@patchworkfarms5327]

The barn footage is like a balm to my soul. One of these days, I have faith I'll have a family and a farm all my own!

[@starlingwarrior]

"Listen, you don't wake a momma up from a nap without giving her a snack" 🤣💖

[@reddirtgreenthumb3553]

I love watching Morgan Gold do his daily farm chores, I don’t live on a farm, but I live vicariously through you guys. So I absolutely love this video. I love watching you walk around and visit all the animals, it feels like we are there with you.❤

[@bridgestew]

Ditto! I loved this video, too. It was so heartwarming to see the animals looking so pretty and loved by this family.

[@Asalinn999]

The title of this one gave me a much needed giggle 😅 thanks Jess ❤

[@LeahNess-t7o]

I've never won an argument with a Turkey yet...😂😂

[@lauralynnedyer]

I had my gates closed, so I did not expect anyone to knock loudly on my door. Scared me to the core. I did not answer the door. When I finally found out what happened I asked the guy who had walked down the hill to my house around my gates why he did not leave a note? He said, I couldn't, your turkey was attacking me. Good boy, I thought in my mind after a 24 panic streak in trying to figure out who ignored the no trespassing sign. Ah, the beauty of guard animals! So much for all 4 dogs, humpf.

[@robynearl]

Growing up, I had a sorrel mare named Ginger. I barrel raced on her and taught her to pull a cart. Oh the fun we had. She was one of my greatest loves ❤️

[@southsidecarly7427]

My horses name was Ginger!😁It’s almost 4:30 here and it’s dark already. I live in Washington, and we’re having a wind and rainstorm.

[@g.gideon7819]

Such beautiful horses! 🐎

[@victoriaspringle4873]

I was into collecting pens as a child, I think collections are good for children. My collection sparked an interest in story writing for fun that I still do at 24

[@kimscrafttime9184]

I love all the interaction with the farm animals.

[@linsanders3984]

I love Gabriel. He's one of my favorite of your crittes

[@joycehennequin8469]

Beautiful relaxed video ❤ Thankyou Jess

[@ElizabethBarnes2Warrior]

Oh, the sight of y’all in the barn with the horse and cats and all just touched my heart, recalling the days and years before the dream being lived!

[@katherineb6102]

I love Bens shirt. Great movie and Bennie is the hero.

[@Shoshi770NYC]

Next time can we see what the shayakis look like growing on the logs? thanks Jess, i wish all the homesteaders realized growing these are so good for you & taste heavenly. I love them since i was very young, like a rich mushroom soup!

[@lesliemelby7633]

Evening Jess. Enjoy the Golden hour. It looks amazing

[@karenm5681]

Just look at those magnificent horses! Livin’ the dream!

[@raversmead]

Of all the animals on this planet, horses are by far the most beautiful ❤

[@krystalgrubbs181]

Loved this video with all of the animals!

[@ginnysulya9805]

Today was a beautiful 59 degree Fall day! We could have snow by next week, so enjoying it while I can! Enjoy the sunshine, I am! 🤗

[@kaleegertcher8822]

I love Ben's sandlot shirt. I love when you post because it's a peaceful and inspirational time of my day.

[@barbarabartlett2804]

When I saw title I started lookin forward to you and your sons were talking. Get it...turkeys for sons...lol

[@cherylmcnaughton7287]

I would love a winter tutorial about how to grow mushrooms!!! This is wonderful. And Ben is such a great little man.

[@growingdreamshomestead3814]

My 12 yr old son and I found a mother load of turkey tail mushrooms in our woods over the weekend and harvested them together ❤️ so nice to build these memories together.

[@janw491]

Thank you I really needed bit of a chuckle ‼️

[@Theyorkshiregirlsfarminsc]

It was a beautiful sunset.

[@lesliemelby7633]

OMG he is adorable

[@sharonpack4696]

BEST video EVER well, again this week. lol. Animals are my favorite when the garden is sleeping. Plus seeing the kids interacting with you two, is fantastic. God Bless. Miss the three oldest 💖💖💖💕

[@tamaraprevitali1990]

Luv the ending with your boys 💙

[@kimberlymullins828]

Great to see you and everyone!

[@laurieweideman9607]

It’s amazing to look around your property and think how it wasn’t that long ago when it was all just a big open field. I imagine one of those pop up books… you open it up and out comes your farm.

[@virginiamschatz5180]

Have only loved in the city, so really enjoy just being with you as you do the "farm thing"...thank you for sharing....the Lord is so good!!

[@ErlaTheGreat]

Loved these past few vlogs

[@inspiredclips8245]

That was such a nice visit! Thank you!

[@heidiDonato]

Great video we had 50 degrees today

[@rachelmick4051]

All of your critters look so healthy and well cared for and your barn and pens look great. I love to see good animal husbandry. Thank you for being such good stewards of your blessings!

[@MelissaJohnson-s7k]

Great video thank you for 😊

[@chrissiehart22]

Maih is just so funny I love it! You see his natural personality shine through your channel. I can see it coming through on his channel too. Have a good week x

[@marykeffalas3700]

I love how you are building memories with Ben. They grow up so fast. Enjoy this time.

[@robingreany899]

It was exciting watching Ben with his knife. And he is an expert at cutting things. The mushrooms looked great even tho you didn’t get many. Your horses are beautiful. As are the cows, goats, and turkeys. Have a marvelous night and please stay safe and healthy and Hearts and Flowers coming your way. ❤️💐

[@Lordyn13]

Thank you for sharing!!! ❤

[@jessbuck7067]

I have missed seeing your boys around the farm and in the vlogs. It’s great to see them involved again! Ben was a teeny guy when I started watching 😩

[@cassieehrsam6158]

Loved this so much, all those animals and humans enjoying the evening. We love our Pyrenees so much too 🥰

[@jeas4980]

This weather is just nuts. I had enough dandelions blooming to start a gallon of wine/vinegar, an entire 2nd harvest of Raspberries... I'm just glad my broccoli hasn't bolted. But it's abnormally warm and dry for mid-November in my neck of the woods. I'm not complaining.

[@deewinston5651]

Thank you for sharing Jess. Ben and Toby are really growing up. It was good to get to see them. Your farm is so beautiful but at sunset, it’s stunning. Lord bless you and yours.❤️✝️🙏🇺🇸

[@dawndolinski768]

i really enjoyed this video, smiled all the way through, love the beautiful animals & wow the horses are absolutely stunning! & fantastic personalities, especially Bosco lol... when i was a kid we went to alot of farms, i guess friends of my parents, i love the smell of the barn, loved the animals.. it was an experience.. enjoyed the video🙂

[@pamjamnik4122]

Wow,Bosco has a fantastic gait ! You could put a glass of water on his back and not spill a drop ! I love Ben's shirt, my brother tells me that all the time !!!

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

He is surely my special horse. I adore him.

[@samanthahoos9827]

❤The first time I visited a college friend’s family dairy farm I fell in love with the smell. The sight of my suburban boyfriend (now husband) in the mud with chains helping pull a calf out of a cow kinda told me he was a keeper. 😂 I just love your videos! Thank you! 😊

[@HalleluYahfarm]

Enjoy it while you can! It was pretty dusky by 4:30 today here.

[@judithsmith9319]

Here in South Central TN, today was our last day of the season to butcher turkeys.. just under 100 and with the amazing warm weather those babies were 17 to 27 pounds! At lunch we were discussing how amazing the entire season from late April to today, weekly chicken butchering has been the best year ever in regards to weather, usually by now we are freezing especially because we work with water... cold tap only, nothing closed up only screen windows. One day we had sprinkling rain but no down pours which makes a muddy, bloody mess. 400 plus or minus is the norm each week. The months of July and August are the break taken because the chickens do not grow as well and we get a break from the intense heat. So all that to say today was a great ending to a long season with this gorgeous weather.

[@WelcometomyCapeCodlife]

The weather has been somewhat warm, we haven’t had a hard frost yet, which is unusual for Cape Cod Massachusetts . My cherry tomatoes are still blooming and trying to produce fruit. My fall garden is doing well which is a blessing. Still I’m getting ready for the inevitable winter weather. My farm is just a backyard but I still find much joy in it. Nice hanging out with you!

[@TheHandmadeHomestead]

Your videos always feel like a visit with a dear friend. Thank you.

[@barbaramix1683]

Ginger was the name of my Jersey cow. She came from a dairy and was culled because she was so small that the other cows were picking on her. She was so sweet. I miss her. God bless you too.

[@tamara4557]

Older shiitake that are woody can be used to make broth with. It's delicious.

[@deannawilson6570]

Your son’s shirt is top notch!!!! Best movie ever.

[@marykeffalas3700]

I love how your pig was having a conversation with you.

[@camicri4263]

Sounds like somethink I would do , lol! Blessings!

[@sheribristol2826]

Tack, horses and horse feed. Beat smell EVER!

[@abbazabbadoodle]

Was driving through Arkansas yesterday and my dog had to get out of the truck for a minute. Found myself on a stretch of road in cotton fields in Beulah and chuckled a bit because I instantly thought of you folks. ❤😊

[@jillsarcasmo]

[@aprilmathews7195]

Hi jess. It's been a bit rainy here in South Alabama and I have mushrooms popping up all over the place. I've been looking on KZbin about foraging for mushrooms. I am very new to mushroom ID. I feel like I'm being wasteful not harvesting them. I've learned so much on your channel, need to go back and find some of your earlier mushroom videos. Be blessed, sweet family.

[@melissamatthews6174]

I do believe Mama is my spirit animal.

[@MargieBenson-dv9ek]

Awesomeness ❤❤❤

[@jadedarkrose]

I love using dehydrated and powdered mushrooms. I love to sneak it into things because my son doesn't like the texture but doesn't mind the flavor. They really add flavor and thickening to gravies, savory oatmeal, sauces and soups. Oh yummmmmmy!

[@pearlmoore7969]

I really enjoyed this Informative.l video!

[@cathykillion6544]

[@suerenshaw2728]

Hey Ben I have a horse named Ginger Snap. I call her Ginger!

[@RandesFaveVideos]

Woohoo! LOVE this video; so relaxed! Could you please send a link on what you were feeding the goats every few days to keep up with the worming & nutrition? Thank you Jess!! ❤

[@mlee7037]

We live in central NC and usually have at least a light frost by the end of October. It has been the longest fall. I don’t remember ever having pleasant weather this long. No complaints for sure. Just sad I didn’t have tomatoes this year after the heat and drought of the summer messed them up. I did pick the last of my shishitos yesterday. The prediction is lows in the high 30s by Thanksgiving. Still no frost in sight. The garlic thinks that spring has come, but hopefully, they will be ok. I purchased garlic from Luke at MIGardener this year. Usually use my own left over, but there is no left over this year. I always love any content you guys make. I would love to visit your homestead one day. In my heart, you and Miah are my kids. 😂Have a blessed week and a fantastic Thanksgiving!❤

[@april5666]

Mushroom inoculation -- not something you hear every day :) Love your family dynamics, relationships with your animals, and videos anytime. Thank you :)

[@karenwood8300]

I love the wisdom of giving mamas a snack if you wake them up. That’s the least that they deserve.

[@miseentrope]

Bless you for the horse content. It soothes my soul to drive around my county and still see horses and farms in what's rapidly becoming an overdeveloped spawl of banks, car-washes, and fast-food nonsense.

You doubted Ben's throwing arm when he's wearing that shirt? You're killing me. ;)

[@jadacaniford7300]

She is not happy you woke her up. Lol

[@PaulaFischer-rj8bc]

When you start home schooling the boys, you won't need to pay any attention to the time on the clock! That will be great.

[@TRuth.T]

We have homeschooled for 30+years our 6 children....

[@Teschibleuz]

Thank you so much for sharing your farm, life, and family. I cannot express how happy it made my heart this morning watching you and Ben. His comment about being a professional with knives made me smile with delight. Reminded me of my son when he was young. And your comment to him ‘you can’t wake a mama without giving her a snack’ will stay with him forever. 😊 Y’all have no idea what joy you bring folks. Again. Thank you. 🙏🏻

[@HarvestingFaithHomestead]

Will you freeze dry any of the goat milk after the babies are born, when the production is really high, so that you have some that stores when you dry them off again?

[@trinapellegrino621]

🙋🏼‍♀️🕊. Just in case , you all don’t know , mushrooms are danger to Dogs . Also 🍇 grapes. Blessings to your family. 💞🕊💞🕊💞🕊

[@janicecrain7783]

Cool watching you harvest mushrooms! How much land do y’all live on?

[@Grannie7420]

Do you have a video on growing mushrooms?

[@selfhealherbs13ms]

Do you have a video on turkey Jerky or just Jerky. And how to best storage. Thank you sweetheart

[@ehlyzabeth]

what are the pellets for the goats?

[@vickimontgomery5271]

Jason of Sow the Land says never trust a pig. 😂

[@Asalinn999]

When Jess was talking about Gabe, what ever happened to Rafe? I know I didn't spell that right. But the little puppy that was going to be Gabe's buddy in the pasture

[@lesmohr6289]

How would you process horseradish

[@Emily-qo1gw]

for some reason, i recall there being two guardian dogs. Didn't you get a puppy while in SC? Time is a blur, so I could be wrong, but I just wanted to check. I love the Gabriel check in :)
