Calling it Quits for Now | We Took on Too Much

Sometimes in life we take on more than we can chew. Whether it's a bit too much pizza on game day, or saying yes to the chocolate cake when you're already way too full. This year we wound up doing just that, so we've decided to take a break...from just about everything!

Thanks Richard!

Duane and Lori, in my Mom’s era it took 2 adults and a “passel” of kids to make a farm work. You are awesome! Rest, relax, re-evaluate. Thanks for sharing your farm with us!

Winter is just as much an off season as the middle of summer. Don’t forget what you have now is what you wished for in the past. You two made a TON of progress this year, it’s insanely impressive. Enjoy the holidays❤

We know how you folks feel.....we got moved to our new farm and got in just in time for Thanksgiving....we have two ducks named Thelma and Louise also...lol...many holiday blessings folks!

[@EdgeofNowhereFarm]

So glad to here you guys are on the farm! Our Thelma and Louise are a crack up and very adventurous as I’m sure yours are as well given the names😊 Hope you guys can get some rest too and have a wonderful Holiday Season!

[@dunedainmom]

I just want to add, you guys have helped all of us so much, by posting these videos. Especially those of us trying to figure out this tricky desert climate. Yall have put an incredible, almost inhuman, amount of work into this farm, and into making this super high quality content, and answering every single question. Please get good rest! We can be neglected for a good bit. If you need a year off the internet, to focus on your more than full time farm and full time job. I feel like I have a lot on my plate, but compared to yall, I'm speechless. I just can't believe how you do so much and run a more responsive and amazing YT channel than any other I have seen. Yall are amazing. We don't want yall to burn out. If you need to go to once every other week, or once a month vlogs, or something, whatever it takes to keep on going to 100 like your Dad did on his farm (my new life goal!) You guys are my favorite channel on youtube. Its unbelievable you do all that you do. Praying for you!!

[@EdgeofNowhereFarm]

Thank you much for the kind words! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

GOOD! I like people who earn their keep, respect, trust and rest. Relatable, as it ain't easy being reliable, especially when running on what amounts to remnants of exhaust fumes.

[@EdgeofNowhereFarm]

So very true! Rest has been the missing ingredient for us these past 4-5 years.

Praying for yall!! Take a longer break if you need to! I will take the time to watch your older videos, there's tons I need to catch up on 😃

Hey Chauncey, glad you found the channel! Congratulations on your new land and starting your farm!

Rest well. See you next year!

[@EdgeofNowhereFarm]

Thank you!

[@Reciprocity_Soils]

A year well done! My favorite place on the Edge of Nowhere Farm: the sorghum zone. That grand patch of sorghum regenerates life in the soil, forestalls any wind and heavy rain erosion, and provides seeds and more for next year. Runner up of favorites: seeing straw mix with the "I want to be soil" dirt in the turkey enclosure. Thanks for sharing your hard work and accomplishments with us. And thanks for sharing your gorgeous sunrise over the farm at dawn. Best of health to you and family (and the happy animals) and everyone here. Enjoy your break. See you sometime soon.

Hi. I'm back. I tried to stay away. Couldn't do it. Miss you two and the farm. I also came back to double check whether or not you are putting down cover crops and a layer of straw across all of your pens and garden areas. Here's hoping the soil remains happy over the winter.

[@EdgeofNowhereFarm]

Hey there! Solid suggestions on the cover. Right now we're taking the easy route and covering with woodchips. We're trying to keep the workload down through Spring to recover a bit from the last few years of pushing.

So sorry. Farming is a lot of work. Thanks for all the info you’ve shared.

[@EdgeofNowhereFarm]

It's definitely been a long road to get here, so it's time to evaluate where we want to take things from here.

[@SouthernLatitudesFL]

Very understandable. Keeping up with the full farm, videoing, editing, social media, and jobs can be quite taxing. I find that while I enjoy videoing and editing.... then I get nothing else done in my house and I become overwhelmed very easily. We've had two hurricanes come over our house, plus I had two eye surgeries and other minor health issues. I am right there with you guys. Praying for you a wonderful, blessed and peaceful Christmas holiday break. See you in the new year!

[@EdgeofNowhereFarm]

It sounds like you know just how this goes. I (Duane) am facing some health issues right now as well and a lot of it has to do with all of the stress, so it's definitely time to re-evaluate things!
