THE FARMHOUSE. A lot of talking. Getting a few things done. Changing into a Farmstead. Cooking.

Working on the fence line and getting a few things done. A lot of talking explaining how things are progressing.

[@georgemccoy5028]

Joe, I have been following you for quite a few years now and I have to say I admire your hard work ethic and dedication. I get tired just watching you LOL!! You are taking on more work just about every episode I watch, and you do it mostly by yourself with no help from anyone. Truly amazing. Keep up the great content!

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Thank you. I look forward to the day when the bigger projects are done and I can spend time milking the cows and spend time in the workshop. There is never a dull day here. Lol.

[@Cyclops1983]

Thank you for sharing your life. I watch your videos and have for years. I'm excited about the days and years to come. Plz just block the complainers.

You're killing me with those ribs, man, I can smell 'em all the way to Texas. Mellisa is such a great cook too! Stay safe. Can't wait until the cows come home.

[@lscblackwell9202]

You remind me of my husband so much. He always fixes my stuff like that. He will put new handles on things, weld things back together, repair furniture, etc. I always tell him he reminds me of MacGyver. He asks me every day if I have any projects he needs to work on so he can give them priority over the rest of the regular farm chores he has to do. That's why I love watching your videos so much. You and Melissa remind me of us and it's just like going around the farm with my husband. Thank you for your hard work to share these with us. It is very much appreciated! Y'all take care and be safe! 👍😊❤

[@robertmccullough4822]

Joe, As for the the gate for the cow shelter, (hotel, lol, JK). As a skilled Carpenter, (anyone that can and make a handle for a scrub-brush-WoW 😃😃) I'm sure you could build a pretty strong and functional gate as a project in your workshop during the winter when your "snowed in". Install it next spring, until then... use the chain. For the junk pile... Hire a local excavator to clean it up for you ( on camera,... it would make a good video... and probably a good deal😃). Just a few suggestions Sir. Have watched for years++ and I look forward to watching the development of the Farmstead. I am also looking forward to Melissa's new "Farmhouse" cooking videos...👏👏

[@kathleenlock8963]

For as long as you've had that guys trailer, I'd say you own it now. If he wanted it back, he would have answered your text. I can't wait for the cows to show up, it's gonna add a whole new dimension to your video's.

[@mircat28]

Not everybody wants to see work. They never go out, go to a movie, go to even a grange dance, have people over. Nothing social. Out has to do with killing animals. Maybe they have no desire to socialize but it doesn’t mean we don’t like seeing it on occasion.

[@user-zj7hp2mb4j]

Hey Joe, dont you just love it when people DON'T pick up their stuff after they either dropped of a trailer or the work camper van. It just means more clutter on your property that you dont need. Still, its great to see that you and Melissa are making huge progress on the farm. Angela from Australia.

[@user-ek5ol4sb7w]

Joe if you take a five gallon plastic pail with a lid and cut about three holes big enough for the ducks to get their heads in and about six inches from the floor up high enough for them to get water. They can put their heads in to drink without splashing the water all over.Also you should put a rock in the duck pool so the chickens can get out if they fall in. I love your videos . Just a few suggestions to help you out You work so hard.

Between all the firewood and new farmette, i think Joe will need a small dump truck lol. Good that he's getting all this new expansion done and returning the place back to a bit of what it used to be in a small kind of way. That lots of hard work that will pay off.

[@carolscott3868]

Joe, what about letting big chickens in the yard, then put the small ones in the fenced in area, so you can clean the coop....

[@cookingwithdalene1093]

You should plant comfrey around the bottom of all your fruit trees..just a suggestion,I really enjoy your videos!!!

[@mikenawrocki1837]

Joe your such a hard worker. I appreciate your videos

[@DavidC-1950]

You should mow the pasture areas now. That will promote regrowth of the grasses and provide better grazing for your new cattle.

[@robingreene8167]

Wow . a lot of work.

[@robinbenge1067]

Your garden looks great it's growing pretty fast to me. Also the pan that you use to make your potatoes salad or boil the potatoes in I have that same pan and it's probably a hundred years old

If you do bring those chows in the shop, make sure you have a good hose to clean them and clean up after them, but you know all about that.

[@1jmccray]

Great video as always. Just a suggestion on where you are planning on milking cow. Maybe you could utilize old gutter to scoop out cows manure and urine. Would have to change direction of where cow stands but having that gutter there could prove beneficial. Love your videos!

Happy Fourth of July Joe and Melissa, slow down y’all and enjoy that delicious food! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯

The Farm is so beautiful. Lots of thought, time and hard work makes for grand landscape views! I still can’t wait for when Melissa starts her pottery shop. I know it might be years away but you’ve gotten a lot done on that project, too! Always excellent videos, except when you over do it physically.😮

[@paramedicham]

Hey Joe, if you think you might lock the cows under the shed, you should probably put a 2x6 or something on the inner walls. The cows will at some point hit the other and push her into the wall and possibility push the entire wall down and get out. Keep up the good work. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for what you do. Jeremy

[@kenw9404]

Joe. Just put up barbed wire fences. It will work much better in the long run.

[@TheDobbermn]

I tried the fruit truck for the first time and got the peaches. I wasn't impressed. Maybe it was just a bad batch of peaches. Don't listen to the people who complain about the paid promo videos. They are informative in a down to earth way.

[@rw7247]

You could make a sliding gate like you see on a driveway that can slide right and it won't eat up much space and when you want to close the cows in slide it left

Whatever you do, you need to cut all those fields so the grass is the proper height for eating when your cows get there. Look up Joel Salatin on how to grow grass for herbivores.

[@zachcoleman4030]

I had the same issue with having too big of a gate to get into our garden area, I ended up doing two 4ft gates instead of one 8ft. I added an extra post to each side and offset them so the gates fit and would lay flat against the fence.

[@lutemule]

Tell the guy with the trailer that you are going to sell it if he doesn't come and get it and then give it to someone that will restore it for themselves.

I just woke up from a nap, Joe! You were in my dream😮... THAT 'S how much I anticipate your videos, and enjoy them! ❤ (not telling what it was about though🤭) lol QUESTION: What's your plan for the possibility of orphaned calves? Because it will happen.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

We may bottle feed them right from the start. It has advantages and disadvantages. We have until spring to figure that out. Once we start discussing that more I will add the thoughts into the videos. Right now the main advantage to having her on the mom is the fact that you can leave for a couple days and mom will be fine getting milked by the calf but there are several reasons that separating them right away is good also. With an orphan of course we will bottle feed. Now about that dream? Lol.

[@jakeschisler7525]

I kinda don't think the guy will pick up the trailer since that may have been his plans to get rid of it. I like to soak posts with diesel and used oil before putting them in the ground. Helps keep the bugs from destroying them.

The posts that I picked up are treated. A lifetime guarantee they will not rot.

Not sure if you’re interested, but since yall don’t use the 5th wheel trailer. You should make a nice secluded spot to set it up and put it on air bnb.
