The Story of How We Got Our Farm

[@jamiedtrtruelove7104]

I love watching your videos alot

[@sabrinamcallister9842]

After going back to watch these older videos, it’s amazing to see all the wonderful progress. You really have a handyman’s soul and your wife is a great gardener too. Great combination!

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

@@sabrinamcallister9842 yes it’s really been a great adventure, I really miss my Molly girl though she was such a huge part of our lives for these 4 years. She was such a great dog.

[@moniquegreen180]

I love the Catio!!! You did a great job!! Lots of love on your Farm!!

[@DelightedAcres]

Nice recap video, Chad. Time has flown by. It feels like you just started work on the property.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

You got that right! a few projects here and there and you'd think we've been here for years eh. Thanks for all your support John.

[@Nonya6380]

It's awesome to see how much you've learned since you filmed this. Oct. 2024

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Big Time!!

What a beautiful place… you and your wife are doing an amazing job👍🙏❤️🙏👍👍👍so excited for what’s to come in the future for u!!!

[@BrittonFarmsHomestead]

Where there is a will there is a way. It takes a lot of work and determination to start a farm. Me and my husband sold everything we had to get our farm land and still working on building a house on it. Thanks for sharing your story

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Very true! as long as we're persistent in our goals eh. In the long run it'll all pay off in the end.

[@BookkeeperzJedi]

Good job.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Thank u Tena, it’s been really fun so far and we’re really enjoying what we’re doing here. Chad.

[@conservativeprodigy2604]

Truly blessed. I as well am happy about our purchase of our homestead 👍👍

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

It’s a great feeling eh.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Thanks for your encouragement as always Alex. Hopefully you’re doing well. Have a great one, Chad.

I sincerely love to see other people's happiness, growth and advancement, it warms my heart ❤ The happier and more successful you become the more positivity goes forth into the world 🌎 and that's exactly what we all need ! 💞💞💞 Godspeed friend !

[@BeckyinKC]

Great day at the farm. I truly enjoyed hearing about the Farm Stay's (never heard the term till you) beginnings. Can't remember what got me to start watching but glad I did. Becky from Kansas City

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

I’m very happy we have you as a viewer Becky as we try to grow and work on setting up this place. Chad.

[@tamrasant2792]

You are amazing. Enjoy 😊Your Farm

[@findingthepuddles9610]

You make me laugh. I have the same vision you do for land but I am still sitting on 1/3 of an acre in the village LOL I love watching your progress!

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

We had 1/4 acre in the city then upgraded to 1.25 acres now 90. Hopefully we can get this farm setup for our forever future. Thank u for all the watching and commenting you do, Chad.

[@findingthepuddles9610]

@@HiddenSpringFarm That gives me hope that some day it will happen for us then. Love your channel!

[@mohammedalanazi2033]

Very nice post.🌹❤ I am in the dreaming stage.... to get a farm.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Good luck! I can tell you from my experience this past year, that it is an amazing feeling and I only wish I could have afforded it earlier in my life. Better late than never though and this farm will be a great place to live out my days.

[@Michael-gu8ck]

Thannx for going into a little background of the who, what, how, why, wherefore, Chad. Happy for you and will continue to follow your saga. The initial draw for me was really the OLD English sheepdog, and cats. I'm sure you know that Canada, and Ontario breeds some of the finest OES in the world. Love your handi aptitude and problem solving on the fly. Get as much done as you can before the farm enters its polar tundra phase season :)

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

I wonder if if could be one of those fine breeders? Wonder what it would take to get a couple OES for breeding. I’m sure you’ll enjoy some of the fall colours here then the polar vortex comes in 😝

[@NvrEnf]

I have no idea how I found you. LOL. But I am really enjoying your progress. I may have to drive up from GA to spend a weekend. ;)

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Well welcome to the farm, thnx for joining us.

[@merriebadham6701]

Isn't Absinth made from Artemisia?

[@GrannySanny]

You might want to build a tiny hose for another rental. They are gaining popularity in the states. Since you have the capability to build it yourself the cost would be way less.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Yup that’s the longer term plan, tiny house, cabin in the woods, sugar shack and maybe a tree house. We’ll see, wishful thinking maybe. Great minds do think alike though.

[@Michael-gu8ck]

Oh, about the city, forget it, you can have Toronto!

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Yeah we were done with Toronto too

[@lee8300]

Chad, I don't know what you did for work in the City, but you are a great carpenter. I can't wait to see your chicken coop finished. I so enjoy your videos. May I ask, what are you and your Darling living in if you are renting out the old farmhouse. Also, are you leasing the field to your neighbors for the horses. I doubt you have much time to watch other Channels, but one I suggest for your garden ideas, is called The Veggie Boys.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Thank u Lee I just love building things as a hobby. I learned from books and HGTV, cause my mom and dad weren’t handy at all. I have another episode of the chicken house build on Friday. Roughly 5 years ago we sold our home in Toronto and. Over to a small hamlet called Midhurst. This was just a stepping stone until we found the perfect property. And I think we found it here AND it’s only 20mins away from our house. By the time we’re ready to build and move here the farm will be so much further ahead with all the infrastructure and animals. Never checked out Veggie Boys but I will.

[@lee8300]

@@HiddenSpringFarm , I will be looking for your video on Friday.

[@melbakayclark8337]

Are you living in the farmhouse?

[@evelynrogers7145]

If your renting out the farmhouse, are you still living in the city?

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

we moved out of Toronto 5 years ago and bought a house out of the city in Midhurst. Then we bought the farm property only 20 mins away and decided to rent it out while we were saving for our house build to eventually move to the farm. Hopefully it won't take us too long, but not really a big deal it's only 20 mins away. We're loving the farm though and can't wait until we can make that happen.

[@evelynrogers7145]

@@HiddenSpringFarm Yes the farm is really nice. Your talented. Really good at building things.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

thank u Evelyn and thanks for really watching all of our episodes, means a lot.

[@Michael-gu8ck]

Ever thought of keeping some of YOUR own horses up there, or having a horse boarding facility? You could make some money from boarders or even trail riders though there would be liabilities, i'm sure...

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Maybe but it would most likely be later in our setup. I was thinking of a huge Clydesdale pulling my sleigh collecting sap for syrup. Horses r super expensive to get and keep though. Gotta start small.

[@Michael-gu8ck]

@@HiddenSpringFarm So true, horses as i know from living on a horse farm combo are very expensive and labor intensive/farriers, vets, etc.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

@@Michael-gu8ck maybe some mini ponies to start 😆

[@DarElBarka]

to clean up the garden, get some goats.
