Morning Chores FARM TOUR! | Meet All My Animals!

[@dvalente6178]

Anne thanks for the great tour! but is this a hobby farm or there is good revenue coming from it ?

[@AnneofAllTrades]

The way our farm generates revenue is very different than most farms do, but it is very much a business. If it were just a "hobby farm," I'd advise any sane person to find a new hobby. In addition to raising almost all our own food, I work in cooperation with several other farmers to sell items privately and at farmer's markets. I raise and sell livestock, dairy, meat and hay, but we don't do anything on a large enough scale to generate measurable income beyond covering all the costs incurred by various farming endeavors: the purchase of livestock, the cost of feed, seeds, other farm incidentals, the occasional small infrastructure and/or implement purchase. Big infrastructure/improvement costs, the cost of purchasing our land, and the cost of my time would bankrupt a small farm business like this in a hurry if it weren't for the real purpose of the farm, which is as a mechanism for my education business: I write for several magazines and travel the country teaching workshops about small scale farming, homesteading and self-sufficiency/traditional skillsets. It would be possible to generate more income from the farming endeavors, but there is a law of diminishing returns there. I enjoy the scale I currently do things, and scaling further would make it a lot less enjoyable for me personally, because I don’t really have any intention of leaving my full time job- the balance is fun for me.

[@dvalente6178]

Anne thanks for your prompt response. This clarifies a lot

[@marianmartin9441]

@@AnneofAllTrades you have all of my respect!

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

@@AnneofAllTrades I was going to as you the same:) Always keeping my mind open for passive income, but after current expense and investment, I am not sure small scale is sustainable with the price of feed and livestock (and all the ranch structures) these days. I understand your in a CSA type venture, have you considered or used any VAPG eligibility? Thanks for the great video and insight:)

I was reading an article from somewhere and it was saying that if you plant herbs around the ducks, geese and chickens homes, it will cut down on the amount of flies near them.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

that is true!

All I can say is WOW!!!!! You are amazing! Your farm is amazing. How much you must learn everyday. I wish I could join you! The work is never-ending. Have fun. So glad I found you here! This is more fun than gping on a shopping spree~

The farm tour was a delight! 🐓🐑 Watching the morning chores and meeting each animal really highlights the love and dedication it takes to run a farm. Thanks for sharing this inspiring glimpse into authentic farm life!

[@raeleneneilson3179]

Great video production Anne and Adam, love the tour and all the animals. Wonderful to see you and them all so happy and healthy.

[@harrietpeabody2118]

Thank you! I love seeing your animals 🐕🐝🌲🌻

[@christinefrances5598]

Love love your animal's names. Keep the name Butter. It's perfect. Your videos are both informative and entertaining.

[@mistyfrogskiss4614]

We had artisan growing up. Flow went to a giant bathtub, pump from the bathtub to the house with overflow to the pond. BEST water ever. AND we never were without water when we were without power. Many times we went with buckets and kettles to the water tank

[@robingalloway3541]

Buttercup. Probably too late. Have to say, you are an inspiration. Seems like farming is a lost art in younger generations. You are a breath of fresh air ❤ I could never hop a nylon fence the way you do! I'm just too old with hip issues. Love your dogs!

[@TimPiggott]

Wow! You two have really up'd your game! These videos are great 👍🏻 ❤

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Very nice of you to say. 🙏 Thanks for watching, Tim! 🙌

[@remymanfre-valdes3810]

I just found your channel after you did a collab with Goldshaw Farms. You talk to your animals the way I talk to mine and its so satisfying.

[@thesplinteredfinger]

Anne, what an amazing farm you have! Who would guess how much work it takes, you are amazing!

[@laurajanethrivasgonzalez7745]

Love ur energy towards ur animals ur blessed

[@KaltrinaDemiri]

I love the idea of having your own farm and growing your own food and having animals :)

[@townrurallife]

This farm tour was such a treat! 🐓🐑 Seeing the morning chores and meeting each animal really makes you appreciate the work and dedication that goes into running a farm. You can feel the love you have for each animal, and the variety of personalities in your animals makes this so fun to watch! Thank you for sharing such an authentic glimpse into farm life-truly inspiring! 🌄👏

I love all the names of all the animals. 💜

[@madalyngaultier258]

This lady is awesome!

[@CuriousCat19892]

So I clicked on one of your videos about goats, about 2 hours ago, and I'm still watching more of your videos. Fantastic job. Your genuine care and love for your animals. the way you are incredibly organized and the fact that you have such a sophisticated system is remarkable. I live in the country but don't have enough land to farm animals. However, if I ever move and decide to do so, I know where to come for guidance!

[@tonyburelle6633]

Great video and animal tour, you certainly have so much variety and smart critters. You and Adam have put together an excellent tutorial of caring for all the managerie, thank you for sharing this!

First video we have watched of yours. Love the way you talk to the animals! Cracking us up. Too many animal sanctuary types treat the animals like their children, it is great to see you treat animals as loved....animals! The little jerks! Lol.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

I love them a whole lot and they probably live better than lots of people do… but they aren’t humans. They have jobs and serve a purpose, to feed, clothe and support our community. This isn’t a petting zoo or a sanctuary, it’s a working farm.

[@pcsofourfarm5476]

[@HealingNatureClips-yz4rn]

Great, I discovered your channel late, but is fully motivating, I think I will catch up

[@Xassaw]

I just happened upon your video and I am enjoying it so far. You got me to thinking about how to keep the hawks away from your chickens though, because I have the same problem. And it just occurred to me that putting up fake owls might be a solution so I googled it and sure enough, according to Google fake owls will help keep your chickens safe. I wish I would have thought of it for myself a few years ago but it might help both of us now. We had two jerseys that were nearly identical to yours and their names or cinnamon and honey respectively. Keep up the good work.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

I have used the plastic owls and it’s tough to quantify how much of a difference they actually made, but happy to report since I brought the chickens closer in to the buildings (and closer to the LGD’s that guard my goats) I’ve not lost a chicken to a predator of any kind in a couple years.

[@Miauwies]

I didn't know you yet, KZbin played your video after another was done. You had my attention right away and I subscribed. 😀💜

[@AnneofAllTrades]

So glad you’re here!

[@Cowboy340]

Anne I must say, you are adorable. I say this not to be an oddball viewer, but in reference to the attention to detail you yearn to achieve. Post it’s, gate latches, door widgets, gravity Fed details, the love for each living creature you are in contact with, gosh the list goes on! Thank you for the professionalism you Strive for. Faithful follower👍🏻

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Thank you! I take that as a huge compliment. My animals have helped me become the kind of human I’ve always wanted to be. Consistent, reliable, efficient… someone who pays attention to details ;)

Jnull0 made a self starting fan for his rabbits using computer fans and a small solar panel on top of the rabbit pen. When the sun shines the fan turns on. Really looks good for keeping rabbits cool.

"Devil's Armpit" LOL! Currently living without air conditioning in SW Michigan during some of the worst humidity I can recall. (That's half a century of summers!) I can only imagine what a whole summer season must be like in TN. I've visited that fine state in the summer. Also smelled the musk of a buck goat on a hot morning. (it was a fainter or a Nigerian, I'm not sure which) Smacked you in the face when you opened the door and made you wish you didn't have a nose. Years later I got goats of my own - go figure. You're a hardy gal facing the crock-pot heat and caring for all those animals. I started today with your "weeds are good" video and had to stay to watch a few more.

Just a small tip. The alpacas are less likely to choke if you place their food at ankle height. Gives them a chance to swallow before lifting their heads. That and soaking the pellets helps a lot!

[@TheFarmJourney-x5k]

Thank you!🥰

[@jenniexfuller]

Hey Anne! It was so nice meeting you tonight at the VIP dinner. I’m sorry I was so emotional. I really like “Butter!” I kinda like Better Cheddar too though - it’s a little long though? Jeffrey’s a STUD! 😂 Let me know when it’s time to have kids! I’ll come help (and maybe relieve you of a couple if you’d like to sell some). We have 3 Nigerian dwarves now. We are still new to it - never kidded or milked…a goat. The clip idea is a pretty cool trick! I want jersey for dairy and dexter for meat too! I’ll have to work on the hubby for the dexter though. He’s excited about angus. The disease testing video was very informational and perfectly timed for me since I’m looking now for my dairy cow. I’ve done one farm visit but struggling to find a2/a2 no grain dairy lines.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Hey! It was so great chatting last year. Looking forward to this year! Shoot me an email [e-mail] and we can get you on the list for some babies! When cow time comes, look into getting a Jersey/Dexter (Belfair) girl if you can, a2a2 is more likely in that cross, the teats are generally better for hand milking, and it’s way easier to keep dairy cows fat on grass without grain because dexters are much easier keepers than jerseys. Bonus, Jersey/Dexter beef is the best beef I’ve ever had, and you can do AI obviously, but if you ever have to get a bull, Dexter bulls are super gentle, but I’d NEVER recommend getting a Jersey bull. They’re a nightmare on small farms.
