Living Our Dream Life on a Small Farm in Canada

[@TinaNYC55]

I’ve been binge watching this channel since I discovered it a few weeks ago. It the most wholesome thing I’ve seen in ages. My heart melts seeing how well cared for and loved the animals are

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Aww nice to hear that, thanks so much 😊

[@bobbipearcey2059]

I know Tina … I only “discovered” it THIS MORNING …and it has returned my faith in humanity after what we have been thru these past 3-4 years … 🥰😻❤️🇨🇦 I just love the “way” he says ….”BUBBIE”( Bobby ) …lol My heart is bursting watching it all .. ❣️❣️

[@459luker]

So have i! I can't get enough of seeing all of these happy animals living such a good life!

[@MargaretUIUC]

When I worked for a university, a grad student planted a small orchard one spring for his research project. That year, the farm crew didn't mow around the trees to save on expenses. When winter came and it snowed, the snow bent the grasses down, leaving a warm, cozy, protected place for field mice to tunnel, safe from foxes and hawks. They went from tree to tree, stripping the tasty bark under the weeds and snow. Come spring, the entire orchard had been girdled! Just one more good reason to keep the weeds down.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

@@MargaretUIUC Right on! 🤙

[@nattayawongrakmitr1025]

Love how you live and treat every single soul in the farm as a family. So kind , loving and generous. Bless you.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Aw thanks 🙏

[@colly1952]

This is my first time watching a canadian farmer, exept for one shepherd lady you likely know, whom I've loved to follow for maybe 3 years. The other farmers I follow are really fun, but it feels good to my ex translator's ears to hear good canadian English. Southern grammar sometimes sets my hair on ends, lol. Don't take that as meaning that I don't still enjoy watching them. Especially one who's had a cute children channel for about 3 or 4 months.

[@AlexK26496]

Chad, you and your Darlin continue to be the most inspiring couple I know ☺ All your critters are thriving and your flourishing farm a testament to your strong work ethic and dedication. Those little pigs, Molly and Olive make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside 🥰 Olive is so good with them. Thank you for the continued uplifts !!! Warm hug for Darlin ❤🐶🐷🐱🐰🐣 Have a great day !

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Thnx, fun to try an episode with 5 different storylines. It took 3 days to upload into KZbin 😂 these critters are our stress relievers everyday.

[@marcelolavoyer2627]

I am a farmer in Brazil. The growth process is so fast here, for the tropics, that the work is huge. Today I cut lots of tree branches. All day doing this. I did only 2 mango tres and a sapoti tree. Long stair, climbing equipment, wood storage, compost windrows, an enormous bonfire, bees and ants attacks... and there are dozens of trees to take care yet... Here, if we let them grow freely, the jungle invades the buildings...

[@cubington]

Wow, I'd dream of that. Here in Germany it's just weed growing over stuff...need to plant and fertilize if you want anything useful

[@gabrielacostisor-or3dy]

Thank you for creating this channel ! We really don’t have many homestead channels to learn from here in Canada ! We are beginners at becoming homesteaders ourselves here in West Nipissing area and we really appreciate your knowledge and tips on things! We drive by your area when we visit our family in Kitchener we might come visit your farm too if you don’t mind ! 😊

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Aww thanks. I’m happy to find people interested in following our journey. I appreciate you taking the time to drop a comment. See u around eh, Chad.

it was a very special vibrant fall season this year I just had to capture some of it on the right times to show off some good ole Canadian beauty. Olive is really something else with those pigs...it's almost like she think she's their mum.

I just found your videos quite by accident earlier this evening and now I'm hooked! I started with the video of you building your 1st version of your catio! It's really nice! Love how you added to it. Your kitties approve I see! 😊 ~Molly in Washington State

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Wow thnx for the comment and welcome to the farm. I’ll be creating a new cat cave for them too once I finish my new workshop, it’s gonna be fun.

[@donnamariebrown2478]

I'm further south in Ontario near U.S. border. Area around Barrie is gorgeous in the summer. Love those dogs.

Yeah the dogs just make the farm that much better, thnx for watching. 🙏

[@fantastica1652]

I love your farm. Born and raised in Manila before migrating to Canada in 1988, I miss having a province with many trees and animals. I started watching your videos and am now addicted to them. I also find your tools and machines amazing. I wish I could pet the animals.

[@sherylbartlett3871]

❤ i love what you have accomplished on your farm in only 2.5 yrs, but the most beautiful, natural amenity on the farm are the incredible Fall colors of the trees!! ❤ It takes my breath away when you show aerial shots.....JUST MAGNIFICANT! Fall is my favorite time of year (October birthday) and I like the crispness in the air and the earthy smell of the woods & trees.❤ Thank you so much fo taking us along on your journey and adventures on your beautiful farm. God bless....😊❤😊

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

That fall in particular was extra vibrant cause it got cold really quickly. So many beautiful colours. This year it’s October already but still have very warm days the leaves are only starting to change a bit.

[@miriammuskal5402]

Great job on the chicken coop and the cat house

[@rjfisher7926]

Just a note. Chickens LOVE Japanese beetles. In fact, chickens are the only animal I know of that will eat those darn pests. They used to ingest our strawberry patch until I let the chickens out and in less than a minute, seven chickens gobbled up what looked like several hundred beetles.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Good to know, I tried to give the ones in the trap to the chickens but they didn't touch it, probably cause most of them were dead and nasty.

[@milliealford8968]

Might be chemicals in trap??

[@paulawagner6058]

Newby subscriber from Virginia, USA. I very much enjoy seeing what it takes to build a homstead with gardens and animals. You have some good tools for getting big jobs done. Smart move. Thanks for sharing.

[@kimberlyhart3364]

14:55 'nobodies gonna know how excited i am to see mom' i think it's Olive? Looked like she was shivering- her whole butt was wiggling so much.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Yeah she’s a very happy dog, loves to play fetch and has unlimited energy 😊

[@wayneuynhan5624]

Just a suggestion, a clear plastic cover for the catio in winter would make the catio a lot less gloomy and at least your cat crew can still have a view of the snow and scenery during the winter. You can install it like a rollup curtain so that it can be put down fast dueing rain as well to provide shelter from rain. Make clips at the base to fasten it so you do not need to keep putting screws on and take taking the screws out all the time.

[@ainiarif6910]

Beautiful fall colour

[@patricksmart6678]

this just might be the perfect youtube channel. thank you for sharing your life on the farm with us. you're living the dream. i hope to get my own farm some time soon.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Wow, thank you! So nice of you. Buying this property has changed our lives…from the animals to Mother Nature it all has made a significant improvement to our lives and given clarity to its outlook. If this is what you’re looking for, good for you, just make sure you’re financially prepared as the tools and equipment needed pile up fast. Best of luck. Chad.

to help young trees get established without weed pressure you can use cardboard around the base and then top it with mulch or straw... I've learned this lesson over time. Also you may have to put mini fences around each tree to protect them from deer and rabbits. Lots of luck.

What is definitely good to see some good insights of how some people figure different things out that work for them in their environments or situations and everything and enjoying life in a resourceful, innovative and abundantly self-sustaining as well as replenishing and taking care of the land animals and the community theater near you physically or with you sharing your blessings and lessons for us to be able to enjoy as well as learned and either think about or understand certain things that maybe you weren't sure how to do or you needed to do you know such you definitely not just do well with put some TLC into your filming and editing expressing explaining and the care that you do with your animals it shows they're loved and healthy , safe and enjoying the symbiosis

30:30 looks like your chain needs sharpened. Your chainsaw should've dropped straight into that cut, and you look like you're making sawdust. You should be making some decent sized chips. When measuring out your logs, get yourself a 16 inch bar and chain for your saw so you can just but it up against the front of your log, give a quick squeeze and itll make a slight groove at 16 inches.when cutting in the woods, after you cut down your 1st tree, get 2 logs cut and use them in the feild as a saw horse so you don't have to drag the larger logs back to the house just to cut them again. Will save a ton of time for you, and im loving the channel

Old dead rotten trees are integral to good forest health. Pull over a percentage of live trees, roots and all. They will present an incredible ecosystem to fungi and bacteria, replenishing and renewing nutrients for a healthy forest. And opening up the canopy for more sjnlight.

Lovely property. One thing about the home-made covers from the old plastic bags. Not all plastic is meant for direct sunlight; outdoor plastics are UV-hardened and will not fall apart after absorbing UV radiation. Those bags may not last more than one year and as they disintegrate they will litter your gardens will tiny plastic chunks. Another KZbin channel, RED Gardens, has demonstrated what non-UV hardened plastic will do (I do recommend his channel as well; he's a Canadian).

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Thanks bud. Maybe, I'll keep an eye on them if they start falling apart...I don't want little bits all over the place. We'll see how it goes. I never thought about it though.
