MORE ABOUT ME
I'm Anne of All Trades. In NASHVILLE, I have a woodworking, blacksmithing and fabrication shop, a selection of furry friends, and an organic farm. Whether you've got the knowledge, tools, time or space to do the things you've always wanted to do, everything is "figureoutable."
I became "Anne of All Trades" out of necessity. With no background in farming or making things, I wanted to learn to raise my own food, fix things when they break and build the things I need.
10 years ago I got my first pet, planted my first seed and picked up my first tool.
My goal is to learn and share traditional techniques and skills while showing my peers how to get from where they are to where they want to go, how to do the things they are passionate about, and what can be done TODAY to engage their own community and grow deep roots.
Whether it's carving spoons, making my own hand tools, restoring my antique truck or growing heirloom tomatoes, the farm and workshop definitely keep me busy and support - whether financially through Patreon, through shopping my affiliate links, through buying merchandise, plans or project videos, or even just liking, commenting, and sharing my content with others helps me GREATLY to keep producing quality content to share.

I have so much respect for your "no one wants to drink ice water when it's 8 degrees" comment. I see other farmers just break the ice in their animal's troughs and it has always bothered me. I'm with you...give them a nice warm drink! Even 50 degree water from my well would seem warm compared to 8 degrees or ice water!

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Preach!

[@TeriHarker-bp4te]

I always look so forward to your videos. You are so naturally funny, nothing forced, and you show the TRUE work that’s involved in farming. You wear ME out just watching!!! 🤣 you my child are blessed and obviously right where God intended. I’m amazed by you

Kevin Bacon is the best name ever for a pig. 🤣 I enjoyed watching this video. Thanks!

[@catdogky]

All this is so interesting to people like me who go work in an office all day then drive home to our house in a subdivision. Thanks for bringing the farm to my home computer!

[@charlesrichards1240]

My feathered babies are indoors all winter! I have 2 adjoining rooms in one wing of my barn that is heated to about 50-60 degrees with a 2000 watt heater in each room.If I am warm enough,so are they! One of the reasons is,that all my laying hen are in there and I want them to be comfortable--and some of the others in there are either nearing or above the 10 year mark--and my oldest just turned 16 years old! My young roosters are in another section,in the other wing(which is all totally enclosed as well)with the geese,and that one has 2 4000 watt heaters-its colder in there,but above freezing-they seem comfortable.

[@mamaholen5306]

I kid you not, my kids and I watched this video to start our day THEN I discovered a crushed egg in my pocket this afternoon. Children = dying 😂 "It's just like in the video, Mom." 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️🥚 PS Say hi to Jimmy from my kids! They LOVE his maker show.

[@Kraj28]

Most satisfying video on KZbin! Loved your farm and all buddies there

[@leonpse]

Reminds me of Mary Tyler Moore.

[@RYwoodview]

Glad you are doing all this and I just get to watch. What a lot of work! BTW, hot water freezes faster because the H2O molecules can form crystals ("ice") only in certain relative orientations. It is kind of a V-shaped molecule. The faster they move and bump into each other ("heat") the quicker crystals form because more of them click into the right relative orientations faster. Yeah, chemistry.

[@whiskeycharlie4031]

Also, heated water has less dissolved gasses. When stuff is dissolved in water it disrupts the crystal formation; salt for example, or gasses,

Welcome aboard!

[@elizabethcollins8817]

Well done Anne! Oh, I have to go and get some logs from my top acre so that I can make some vegetable/flower beds

[@trevelynbrown4444]

Tractor Supply sells heated water bowls. On their website.

[@EHCBunny4real]

You should use a portable mini electric oil-filled radiator Heater in your barn instead of heat lamps. They won't burn down your barn and they provide a lot of radiant heat.

[@kflorence2219]

I learned so much! Thanks for the video!

[@gilbertlane4522]

I think you need to rename your channel to the Incredible Ann of All Trades. You are literally incredible. You just make every day better. ❤ You mentioned you normally have to do this before work. I know you work 24/7, but do you have a 9 to 5 as well? Blessings to you and the Incredible Adam of No Trades.

[@daveb8598]

Love to see you using your hand a lot more! When I do put a heat lamp out in the barn I do hang it fairly high, and I also set it up so that if it does fall off its hook that it'll either hang by its cord or unplug itself as it falls. Just takes an extra minute to add a nail-in staple to secure the extension cord high enough for that to happen.

[@GrandmaKarenHasAFarm]

Our first hog was named Kevin Bacon, too!

[@marknahabedian1803]

Over the span of maybe 6 or 8 months I hand spun maybe 20 feet of two stranded yarn from what I brushed off of a long haired cat.

[@matthewwright57]

I love these videos on the chores, I would really love a farming plan on what the goal is of each animal on your farm, how do you pick what to add, what animals work well with each other, what resources to you spend and receive from the animal husbandry.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Coming soon!

[@matthewwright57]

@@AnneofAllTrades Awesome! I'm excited!

[@clifc6351]

Way to go Wolly Nelson! Thank You for posting this production. Updates on your golf cart that died; I wondered about it. Loved the video of your hard work. Thank You for producing this video.

This was us in Columbia TN - we’re right there with you! Learned a lot of lessons from last year’s arctic blast 😅 We stored our hoses in the basement to keep them from freezing. Our pigs LOVED the snow 😍

We never thought moving south we would be colder than back home lol glad you know how to prepare for cold you're animals thrived threw it all

[@christalasher4480]

I'm so excited to find this channel! I've wanted to have a homestead for ever and thought it was out of my grasp, but you're such an inspiration! I'm determined to start this year.

[@chaspruitt2610]

I really enjoy your videos Anne, thanks for sharing!! Best regards....😊

[@s-c..]

That looks like a whole day’s work! Anne, you have such obvious affection for the pigs, and the rabbit, which, umm, I can’t think of another farm use for so… knowing that you don’t keep pets, how do you cope with, erm, making them useful? Or do they have another use? 🤞

[@greatboniwanker]

You are a fantastic furr-Mama! Stay warm ❤

[@TradShowTom]

It's always fun to watch you guys.

[@dianaadamson2583]

The next time the lock on your gate freeze, pour hot water over it to thaw the ice. Us Northerners sometimes have to do that to our car door handles.

My favorites are the alpacas, Lucy, the goats and donkeys

My dog has one of those ducks and I always thought it sounded like a donkey😉

[@petecilione4166]

Anne, I live in the city and I used to Tnr cats. Whelp. They stayed on our property so we feed them. And shelter them. They keep rodents away. Agreed. Warm water and broth from fowl carcasses . I have a feral we had for 18 or 19 years. People tell me that’s not possible and yet here she is .. ❤😊~ Tammy

[@EchoHarmonic]

Been looking forward to this video! Specifically I wondered what you did with the chicken tractor, I was not disappointed 😂

Omg I live your animals

THats a loot of fluff n feathers to love =)

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

Those are some great looking hogs you have Anne.

Aren’t they so incredible? They’ve quickly become some of my favorites ❤️❤️

[@brendahoffer5534]

I order my chicken feed from Chewy lol! The Cozy Coop heaters work really well and don’t catch on fire! My rooster would knock it over and sit on it lol! I’m in SD so it may be a little colder here but I haven’t lost any of my girls yet!❤❤❤

[@michellejames5953]

Ist time watching your channel. Wow……so much work, but so rewarding😊

[@Building_Bluebird]

Warm water doesn't freeze faster than cold water, rather the rate at which temperature changes is faster when there is a larger difference between the body (of water in this case) and the ambient temperature. But if you put a bucket of cooler water out at the same time as a warm bucket, it will reach 32* and freeze faster than the warm one. Formula... Newton's cooling law formula Q= h x A x (T(t) -T(env)) Q = rate of heat transfer out of the body h = heat transfer coefficient A = heat transfer surface area T = temperature of the object's surface T(env) = temperature of the environment T(t) = time-dependent temperature

[@brendahoffer5534]

Anne I switched to electric duck waterers for winter. They have little cups that make it so much easier to keep clean and the red bottom portion is so much thicker than the chicken ones. It works pretty well until about -25 lol!

[@Horizon404]

8 degree and it's snowing, here in India 1 degree in winter (rarely) and still not snowing

[@GUNNER67akaKelt]

Maybe build a step (movable) by your goat milking stand. Easier for them to get up there. Easier on joints. Just a suggestion.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Good idea!

[@rawilson7768]

Jeffery at the end of the vlog looked like he was saying, “Who me?”

[@amykent6934]

Dogs can eat egg shells too. We crack the egg and feed the whole thing in a bowl and the dogs love them. I love your videos and I’m so glad we don’t get the weather you do but definitely hope we end up with the amount of animals you have soon. Although we will have 4 acres the first few years and up to 10 acres later so can’t have 7 cows 😂. But we have 2 horses, chickens and will get goats, pigs, ducks and sheep and we would LOVE 2 female highland cows too

[@megang877]

I’m sorry if this is in the comments already, but what’s the name of the bagged feed (I think it is fermented) Anne uses and where to get it? I would like to look into it! Thank you! Also, thank you Anne for this video!! I love seeing your farm.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

It’s called Chaffhaye- if you call your local co-op they might carry it for you, or check out chaffhaye’s website to find the dealer nearest you. You won’t regret it, switching to chaff was the best choice I’ve ever made.

[@megang877]

Anne thank you so much for your time responding to my question. I will definitely look into it!

[@LouisEmery]

That is some routine. Must take 3 hours or so. That is the life we all had 100 years ago. I can see one of my adult daughters do this sort of thing later in life. At least the rabbit part. 4:10 use a kid's sled for the hauling. 6:10 warm water doesn't freeze faster. 12:10 metal roosts? Isn't that cold to the touch? 17:20 I thought I heard the word urethra while you were milking. ;) I had to rewind to make sure I heard wrong.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

The routine takes about 30-40 mins with no talking. Aretha is the goat, when she’s being naughty I call her urethra ;)

[@williamwright8286]

Lots of feeding to do

[@erinevans4761]

Warm water freezes faster? Really? Huh…. Learned something new

Do you ever have to worry about your pigs falling in the pond. I just got 3 kune kune and we have some rough terrain surrounding our pond

Im not worried about that, no, they can swim :)

How much are vet visits? How much is the monthly food bill? Farming is not for the weak or broke, it seems…

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Straight up, farming while totally broke is totally possible, thats where I started 12 years ago. A lot of hard work, creativity, community involvement, sacrifice, constant pivoting and plenty of blood, sweat and a whole lot of tears (and some good luck for sure) got me where I am today. However, because I still work full time and love my job, the goal with the farm currently isn’t necessarily profit (though it’s great when profits come), the goal with the farm farm is to stay out of the red, to get better connected within my community, and to keep my hands and mind busy in my “down time” so I stay in shape and out of trouble. Farming helps me become the kind of person I definitely am not by nature: patient, consistent, intentional, active. I have a vet who comes to the farm for a flat fee, and barring emergencies, the goal is to have him out once a year. Our arrangement is that if he comes once a year ($350), he will prescribe meds and procedures for the animals at my request/I can call and ask questions and he’ll kindly advise. We came to that arrangement because I’ve proven over time with him that I generally know what I need and how to administer it myself, and that’s become a great arrangement for us. I do all my own farrier work, training, daily care and infrastructure development on my own or with the help of friends and neighbors which keeps costs pretty minimal. It would be far more expensive/ would require more $$/vet visits/farrier visits/ trainers/ other costs for someone who didn’t like to read/learn/research as much as I do. I definitely paid a lot more in vet visits and stupidity also known as learning opportunities when I was first getting started. My feed bill is no longer a “bill,” I actually *make money* feeding my animals, because growing up poor, I’ve become somewhat of an expert wheel and dealer, so I have a handful of side businesses aimed at helping other local farmers get feed affordably while getting my feed as cheaply/free/even making a little money as a result of feeding my animals as possible. There’s a short novel of explanation there but to sum it up, I cut and sell hay, I lease extra grazing land from neighbors, I take food waste from local establishments, I get spent brewer’s grains from local breweries and distilleries, and I recently became a wholesaler for the commercial feed we use which helps offset my costs significantly and earns me lots of favors from other local farmers. What the animals don’t eat/their own waste and bedding goes into my large scale composting and mushroom farming operation that creates other products I can sell locally. Livestock sales cover most incidentals throughout the year and I also work with several other farmers to sell dairy, honey and meat products/plant starts, etc. at various local markets. Though a lot of what I do with farming would likely be a whole lot more profitable if I were to scale larger and farm full time, but I have no interest in scaling (that generally involves less personal connection, more infrastructure cost and more machine noises that I prefer to do without). And while farm profit is nice, I love my non farming job, and plan to keep it as long as it stays enjoyable. The truth is, not only would it have been unrealistic to purchase the land/infrastructure I did without off-farm work, nor do I want to discount the huge part the valuation increase in the last piece of property I bought as a total dump, spent five years restoring, and ultimately sold, played in my ability to upgrade and move here to this property, it’s just practical to acknowledge that I can make a lot more money doing things I really enjoy working off the farm without having to do a whole lot more of the parts of farming I really don’t enjoy. Which, admittedly might make the farm more profitable, but would certainly make it less enjoyable for me personally. The balance of farm and off farm life keeps everything interesting, fun and there’s a whole lot less stress all around. That’s not the way everyone will want to do it, but it works really well for me.

I NOTICED THAT IS GOAT MILKERS FOR THE GOATS WHY NOT USE THEM... I HAD TO ASKED. IT WOULD GIVE YOU MORE TIME BUT I DO NTO NOW HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE TO CLEAN THEM ALSO AFTER EACH USE. OF EACH GOAT... THE REALSED THE GOAT IS HAPPY . IT IS CALLED BENIFITS OF MILKING IT DOES MAKE THEM HAPPY WITH IN.. BUT NOT ONLY DOE SIT DO IT TO GAOTS BUT ALSO TO WOMEN ALSO... DO NTO KNOW AOBUT COWS BUT I WOULD ALSO SAY SO ALSO...

[@AnneofAllTrades]

If you’re asking about machine milkers, I don’t use one for the goats because it literally takes longer to clean the machine than to milk by hand. I have a machine for the cows, but I only use it if I’m milking multiple cows at once, because again, it’s faster to milk by hand than clean the machine for just one cow.
