It's so cool that you allow your cow to roam free. She's truly a family pet.

[@gloriagodfrey3899]

I am so glad that you are the type of person that likes to reuse the old wood and can see the value in it.

[@phyllisstrider2998]

Your son takes a breath before he milks because he gets abstracted. So cute.

[@lisaholt3627]

I have a thirty-six year old daughter who has autism, and her name is Monica. She smiles when you say her name when talking about your little goat. Can't believe how much beautiful wood Art is getting out of the barn.

[@benjaminfreyman4273]

The dog is top notch in the beginning. Loyal and true. Take good care of this one. 🐕 Well at your kids ages they are your entertainment to some degree. Time invested into them ,reading to them teaching etc.

[@theveggieboys]

I’m part of the 6th generation on our farm. When we go riding around with my dad and he sees these barns that are falling apart it just breaks his heart. If these barns could tell stories... I couldn’t imagine what they would have to say. Thank you for reusing some of them materials, I’ll definitely be showing my dad.

[@egsuperduty]

Physical and mental satisfaction is priceless.

[@jonabriggs8829]

I loved seeing that Baby Boy kiss his Beautiful Momma's hand while she was talking, that's how ya know a Woman REALLY takes care of her kid's MIND's AND body AND Souls...she just does it ALL

[@conniewilson5531]

OH DANG! God bless that little man's heart. What a tough luttle guy. I hope he feels better quickly.

[@sarahworkman3223]

One more benefit of raising your own food is the peace it brings to you knowing you are not dependent on others. Also it is hard work and stressful at times but my garden is also my place of peace and satisfaction. 💜

[@millermdiehl]

I can’t believe it’s episode 800. I remember when episode 500 came and it was such a big deal. Just love the little ones and every day life on your farm. Such a beautiful farm and family.

[@loissouthard5619]

I remember episode 1. I have been watching these sweet people for a looooong time.

[@dagmarking3974]

This video had me smiling from start to finish. I still can't stop smiling. Thank you for everything you're teaching us. God bless you and your family.💖💖

[@oldnorthstateoutdoors2002]

Kinda broke my heart to see that old barn coming down but I am so glad you're saving the lumber. Really enjoyed watching you're family interacting.

[@debrabooe901]

The first thing I thought of when you were discussing the "what you save or spend growing food" was the many expenses you won't have because of being healthier, happier people! All those medical bills, prescriptions, etc. that you WON'T end up spending money on because the food you grow is so much more nutritious and not actually detrimental to your health, as is the case with much of our food from the grocery store.

[@kavabean]

Not to mention the physical exercise, the natural vitamin D, the grounding/earthing from constant work touching the earth, the clean air, and just the sheer happiness of a life of connection with the planet and with your family. All of those things are priceless on their own but their effect on your health is also incredible.

[@ronsmith1364]

best 'organic' food is what you grow yourself...

[@patacake4997]

It's sad to see that old barn coming down,but with the lean,it would be dangerous to leave it.Love to you all.

[@metoo3821]

That was a very old barn, probably dating back to 1880 or thereabouts. I used to play in the barn at my grandparents which was built before 1920 (I have a picture taken in 1920 of the barn and it was already quite weathered. It stands yet today used by a cousin who still farms the land. Not a pole barn though, that's why I think yours was a lot older. It was painted barn red when I was a child but hasen painted for many years. There is an old buggy still in it that my grandpa would hitch a mule to and drive the family to town as he never owned a car. Needless to say those are really happy memories.

[@jillbrooks4738]

Always love watching videos of your precious family and farm. Today was a hard day with the sudden passing of a friend. Watching your beautiful day on the farm was good medicine. Thanks. ❤️

[@anitawalters5672]

I still can't get over how smart the baby is, not saying the others aren't though.

[@livinglife8333]

Who else is so happy that Art shaved off the facial hair? Looks so much younger 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ardenpeters4386]

Me!! No offense but he looks sraggly & unkept with facial hair.

[@ardenpeters4386]

Me

[@mariadelaney2583]

Just thinking the same thing,

[@loissouthard5619]

Art is a handsome man and he should quit hiding behind that beard.

[@lifebeginswithaseed]

I'm a beard girl. I prefer a beard on my husband. Both look nice on him Art, though.

[@danamama6766]

Awww bless his little heart. That big tear drop. But being so brave. Hornets hurt. Love the mommy fix spit and kiss. I am getting excited for the baby calf as well. So glad you are going to try to use the barn boards in the new house. That is beautiful.

[@annaking9213]

I love Wilder, he is so loving and ask such good questions.

[@Kelleena1on1]

Amen ,Lord Jesus i love when someone lifts his name high. :) you all have a beautiful piece of land

[@heatherd.9390]

Congratulations on your 800th episode! That must be an incredible feeling knowing you've filmed, edited, created, uploaded and shared that many videos. I am proud to say I think I've seen each one. It may not be exactly when it's uploaded, but they get watched. Like today, I am a couple of weeks behind but I'm okay with that. It just means I get to watch likely a full hour of Art & Bri in one sitting! xo Heather🇨🇦

[@MrsPink64]

I get happy with many garden smells. Strawberries, marigolds, basil, camomile, and even mulch. Thanks for shaving Art!

[@janan3382]

I just want to add a couple thoughts to the discussion of growing your own food. I live in town and have a small lot and limited space (I would love an acreage- someday!). I need a place to live anyhow so why not make the most out of that space? I grow as much food as I can, make my own compost, collect rainwater, and have added chickens this year. My goal is to make my yard work as hard as it can to benefit me. Why have a perfect lawn I need to mow when I can feed myself? Am I saving money? Hopefully in the long run I will but I cannot buy the quality of food that I am growing. My mental health is definitely better when I am digging in the dirt, walking around my garden observing my plants, and laughing at my chickens' antics. I have the opportunity to bring fresh lettuce and peas to my grandparents (who are delighted to see the next generation gardening!). The benefits are overwhelming! :)

[@cherylanderson3340]

So good to be sharing your harvest with friends & family too.

[@vickigill6825]

It would be amazing to step back in time and see the barn being raised.

[@vietnameraveteran8207]

Art and Bri this is one of your best videos ever!

[@nancyhayes2561]

You are so blessed! The view you have is breathtaking. I would love to be able to just wake up and see and touch that land!! What a gift!

[@srqlisa7881]

Just another great day on the homestead. : ) peace

[@Ray-xv7rh]

Nice :)

[@kimberli2391]

Busy, busy, but satisfying for you all. Fun to watch.

[@debbieschaffner2581]

Chamomile is time consuming to harvest. When you have that much it's worth it to use a Chamomile Rake. Johny's Seeds has them. Chamomile is fantastic for more than tea. It's so healing! You can add it to a herb blend for a foot or bath soak, wash a fretting baby with a tea to calm, use as a eye wash, add to cookies for your kids, and a lot more! I love the lifestyle you are living! You are saving a lot of money when you consider how your lives are affected over a lifetime of good food, living so close to nature, and amazing family time. Blessed!

[@kristineturner8067]

I love watching you with your children....what a great garden!

[@loridavis1823]

Nice to see all the hard work and fun going on sorry about the sting I'd been crying too. Cow goats people all looking good garden looking amazing prayers hugs to all

[@kathycagg6531]

A delectable day! What a great description! Always love getting to share a bit of your day!

[@julieowen5874]

I think that there is nothing you could be doing better for your family. Especially now. Everyday is an adventure, and it's your adventure. Plus the kids grow up so fast, I wish I could have had mine around longer....

[@MM36577]

Oh i loved that 😂 dad is distracted by the other kids, Wilder is like “mwahahaha...I’m gonna steal his hat!!”

[@maryjemisonMaryjay1936]

Wilder 💋

[@AlpacaMade]

Lemon Verbena & Rosemary for me, in that order. I didn't get nearly enough Wilder but patience is a virtue. So good to see you all happily working the farm after such a sad winter. 👍

[@tonisangel5024]

What a beautiful feeling it must be to grow your own food I grow herbs and get such a good feeling from just that!! having a garden would be wonderful!!

[@balconygarden3902]

Thank you for sharing the day, it really is a special life you are living.

[@joannewilson6847]

So joyous watching the video. You are such a happy, happy lot. The homestead is full of a atmosphere of happiness. Enjoy your family meal together.

[@jodyflores601]

Food savings account=security and health. Your chamomile is beautiful Bri. Thank you for sharin', blessings all. :)

[@beckysmuck8771]

Reishi mushrooms ... I make tea out of them... they are lowering my husbands PSA. He has prostate cancer. Even his Oncologist is impressed and has his dad on it now because it’s working so well for my husband.

[@shermdog6969]

I used to sell barn wood while living in Connecticut. That's easily $10k in wood. I watched someone burn an old barn down once and I almost cried.

[@deborahfromdcspetersoncity9213]

I almost didn't recognize you without your mustache. Looking good.

[@terribethreed8464]

Hopefully you & your nephew take notes, photos & pay attention to the construction of the old barn because it's a wealth of information that you could use to build a new barn or other structures. Imagine being able to recreate a new barn using the same techniques they used over a century ago. I wish I were younger so I could do it. I'd love to be able to do things like that.

[@reesekolcow6136]

I have to admit - I can’t wait to see how your house turns out - the reclaimed wood will be amazing, I’m sure!!

[@ronsmith1364]

Reusing some of the viable large timbers, oh man... Flutylick is a master of repurposing & reuse. He has done some really neat things.

[@donnamays24]

Mustache out lol...sad to see that old barn come down. So glad your gonna reclaim the wood it is spectacular. Blessings🙏🏻💖

[@lidascarbro1773]

Thank you for sharing.

[@bonniebarnekow1415]

Happy Father’s Day !

[@robertadurnan8082]

God Bless You All.

[@LoriG75]

You are such a precious family! Wish you were my neighbors 💕

[@ccharsley5567]

Thank you Art n Bri for sharing your day with us 💕 You both have a wonderful family and a very productive way of living Cheers Claudia from Australia 🇦🇺

[@missmartpants2269]

What lots of people don't get...is how entertainment is actually there to keep you distracted from doing exactly what you are doing. So it being your entertainment to grow food and family is Gods plan and society and gov tries to keep us from that. Just a perspective I guess. God bless!

[@gailhotaling2960]

What a wonderful family ❤️❤️🙏

[@susiessoapstuff1459]

Mint is a lot better if you freeze it than dry it. It retains more flavor. Just pick the leaves off the stem, wash it, and stuff it by handfuls into a freezer bag. Push the air out and put it in the freezer. I put enough to make a gallon of mint tea into a quart bag so that it is ready to go when I need it in the winter.

[@polkcellar]

This video is another visual stunner! Thank you Art ,Bri & Kids, & Critters ! Bri, when I have extra abundant herbs, instead of pulling individual blossoms, I take the top foot or so off the plant with sheers. Hang them upside down in the barn in rubber banded bunches with string till dry. Then crush them off the stems in a big tub or wheelbarrow and bag them up in labeled paper sacks. (Good kid job )? Those extra mature ones would be great just cast around wild areas to seed. That much chamomile must smell like heaven! Such a beautiful property you have there! I think you are already busy enough though! Lol.

[@saritalejeune4960]

Those scruffy whiskers were hiding a handsome man! Clean shaved looks 100% nicer on Art!

[@hollyjane4835]

I sure hope you use some of the recycled barn wood on your home renovation. It’s too beautiful not to.

[@ciaobella8963]

That's the first time I've seen Arthur without facial hair. What amazed me is how much Grace looks like him. Of course you guys know that already haha. Your homestead is a true paradise. Thank you so much for sharing your lives with all of us. May the Lord continue to bless you all in every way. Hugs from the hills of northern Tuscany.

[@tonimitchell9930]

Your cow looks so good. You should have Art make some ramp things for the goats to climb and play on.

[@rebccarae7669]

Barnwood is a much sought-after product a lot of people use it for decorations they use it around the chimney and decorating their living rooms I've seen somebody that used Pebbles to decorate the chimney with and instead of paneling or something like that he used all Barnwood it was absolutely stunningly beautiful

[@maryelkins736]

Plus all the benefits that you that is nutritional value.Just knowing where your food is coming from and what chemicals are in it, to me that's it's worth its weight in gold. I think you guys are doing an awesome job all the way around between the garden with kids everything you do you look at it and you can just see all the love and hard work you put into everything. You're amazing

[@kimmahu6868]

The goats you bought seem like they are really good goats good milkers and good natured.

[@sandyj6099]

I love your family this is how we should be .Keep up the good works

[@allonesame6467]

Growing your own food is an asset beyond money and financial concerns.

[@walterlang151]

My son's great grandmother on his mom's side had a stone used by her grandparents to fasten the milk cow to for grazing. The stone was slightly oblong and maybe 10-14 inches long. The cow could move it some, but didn't go far due to the weight of it. They didn't have to worry about her wondering away. The stone had been well rounded over the years and you could tell where the rope was tied, and which end had rubbed the ground. She called it a grazing stone... Have you ever heard of something like that??

[@polageorge1348]

Miss you guys so much please come back.

[@nathanaelcard]

Ugh. I love that aged lumber. Great trade!

[@lindanash3269]

Need to buy a hornet trap we did and it worked great, they didn’t come back. We bought it at Menards. Beautiful family and very entertaining.

[@fionar1656]

Chamomile is very good for your nervous system you can heal it if you regularly have it. It also can be good for digestion if you regularly take it.

[@RobinsFamilyHomestead]

You’re also saving a lot of future money when it comes to your health. A lot of the food we get from the store can cause major health issues when you’re older because of the chemicals they put on the food in stores.

[@l.williams6249]

Bri, I feel the same about the smell of tomato plants in a sunny garden. Just makes me happy☺️

[@hillarys.k8518]

Vlog 800 that's amazing!! Really enjoyed all of it .

[@ginapaquet909]

Bri/Art you are raising incredible kids. I love how your little man was calm, tears, but calm about the hornet stinger... not in the city... they would just be screaming. I know what you mean Bri about smelling the chamomile .. just a dream !!!

[@mimiann2372]

It was great just watching. Love camomile too!! Just watching your videos makes me happy and rested. Thanks for sharing. Have a beautiful day

[@sylviahilxebrant7141]

Always enjoy the closeness of family on the farm videos. Growing up on a small farm in PA I remember everyone pitching in ---- ah, always had something else to do when it came to canning though. 😙.

[@misty4782]

Art, you really look good clean shaven. Hope you continue doing so. Love to watch you and your children playing. Blessings.

[@theunsteadysteader]

Oh my Art, you look many many years younger w/o whiskers!

[@DizzyIzzyMom]

Wow beautiful wood...how wonderful to even have the tobacco poles....

[@aprilwaller123]

Ya'll are livin the life. Bri can you do a show and show us what you do to you'r flowers ect.. that you dry and after drying what it looks like?

[@user-re7eu9hq6r]

Here in 🇨🇦 one Cauliflower went from $4. each to $8 within the coved crises! Organic is $12. Love you guys, your children are precious! You have to sell some if that barn wood to an artesian to make some art! Or old wooden frames! Your glowing Art, that old wood is a treasure, can you do a video on the ancestry to your place! Apple cider vinegar on a cotton ball works great for stings! Fat and sassy and happy, pregnant mamma!

[@polkcellar]

Ice on a sting works great!

[@lifebeginswithaseed]

Wow! That chamomile is impressive! Mine has never gotten that big. I now have chamomile goals. Lol!

[@peterellis5626]

On the cost/benefit front, you also need to include that you cannot go to the store and buy food equivalent to what you are growing/raising yourselves. If a person is just trying to survive at the lowest possible cost - buy the commodity food products at the stores. But if a person wants to eat extraordinarily high quality food, you can't beat growing your own.

Bri I googled can goats eat chamomile and I found this.. Quote of a google search. ".Used as a wash Chamomile will also deter mosquitos and other biting and stinging insects. Attaching a small bunch of dried plant to the manes or tails of animals like horses, mules and goats, (goats will eat it if they can get to it,) it will help deter pests like flies, horse flies, gnats and black gnats.Aug 23, 2010

Bri you may try a berry picker for the chamomile! It’s like a little rake on the front with a bucket attached. Use it for harvesting blueberries too!

[@lmd2454]

That old barn wood is like gold! You could sell that and make a mint!!

The thought that the wood from the old barn will bring life to new projects is overwhelmingly pleasing. It's part of the circle of life and it's a beautiful one. Many blessings to your family.

[@SuziePG]

Enjoy all your videos. Bri looks so happy amongst the Chamomile. Such joy with all your kids, just simply being around their parents and playing on the land. Now that's great parenting. Didnt he get stung a few weeks ago, also?
