Touring our old dairy barn with dad--this is how it used to be done!

[@Happyhillsflowerfarm]

What a treasure this video is for your family…for generations to come!

[@MyFocusVaries]

It's amazing to me that the straw sat there for 50 years!! Wow. Interesting history.

[@Blossomandbranch]

Yes, speaks to the roof holding up! We did replace that roof a few years back to help preserve the interior!

Thanks Brie and Dad. My grandpa left school at 14 so that his family could keep their farm after his dad died in a farming accident. He had a hard life but sent all his kids through school and had a beautiful wife in Alta. They are always my inspiration when I get tired and discouraged ❤

I loved this video! It’s so important to remember how it was “back in the day” and how much everything has changed. ❤ Thank you for sharing!!

[@aimeesgardens]

My great great grandfather was a dairy farmer in Kansas. I've always wished I could have met him and had these conversations with him. You are so lucky, especially since you now have this video with your Dad. I don't know why, but it brings tears to my eyes.

[@e.manshreck9850]

Thank your Dad for the tour. It's good to pass on the family history and appreciate how it was done in the past. Thank you farmers for the food we eat.

[@mistygeller3193]

Wow!! This is absolutely fascinating!! How incredible, to be able to document such a wealth of information! Your dad seems like a sweetheart ☺️❤️ He has to be so incredibly proud of you and the messages that you are sharing with so many people 🥰 Your grandfather truly was amazing and ahead of his time!! Finding your channel has forever sparked something in me that I treasure! I always had an interest and curiosity about soil health but didn’t really know what questions to ask. I’ve always been taught by my dad, that you are you eat, and what that animal or plant eats as well. I’ve grown up seeing all of the cover crops and crop rotation that he’s been doing, as well as planting pockets of things specifically to feed the wildlife through the winter.

We finally were able to access pasturized milk by the time I was 7 and my stomach was so thankful for it!!

[@EmmaH81]

This is so cool! A great little snippet of your history. My husband & I are managers of a dairy farm in New Zealand, we really enjoyed this video!!!

[@Blossomandbranch]

It's so interesting to see how it used to be done!

[@ourmontanahomestead8880]

Awesome tour! Thank you for sharing. It’s so cool how advanced their farm was for the time period.

[@LisadeKramer]

Thank you for the tour. There is a lot of history there.

[@uteberg4781]

Very interesting! In the cow-stable many things are similar to my old stable on the farm I bought last year in denmark! 😊 And: I just wanted to add, that if we love the old times, then we should be aware that the prices for food were relatively high at that time, compared to the average normal income. Food had a completely other value at that time and wasn't that much vasted. That it is cheaper these days has an impact on many things and brings not always the best results (for example for the farmers!). But at least many peoole nowadays can afford "some" food, even if not the best produced, more expensive one. If food were more expensive maybe also more people would be starving. Just a thought. 🌞💖🤗

[@jillrenier3194]

Loved hearing the farm history. Thanks for sharing and thank Dad for his input in this video ❤️ so cool how your Grandpa had that dairy barn working, ahead of his time for sure!

[@GardenMoxie]

I loved every moment of this tour. It surely would be interesting to know what your Grandpa would think of not being able to keep his own seeds. Well done!

[@beaverrunfarm]

Nice video, tell Dad he did a really good job!

[@Blossomandbranch]

Thank you!!

[@grisespino5342]

Admire your grandfathers vision. The watering fountain and manure contraptions. 😮. I find this so interesting. Thanks to your Dad for sharing with us. 🫶👩‍🌾👨🏻‍🌾

[@SuzanneCerrone]

So interesting. Thank you for sharing. Your dad is lovely and what a gift to have this documented.

[@Blossomandbranch]

Glad you enjoyed it! He had fun talking about it!

[@Laurie-lv2pz]

Beautiful and informative tour. What a legacy. Proud to be an American.

[@Blossomandbranch]

Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@ellenmchale6103]

Absolutely fascinating. My grandpa had dairy cows in California. Different, but, boy, I am remembering, Thank you to your dad! So cool.

[@Blossomandbranch]

Glad you enjoyed it, it really is so much work!

[@carolleimbach6407]

I really enjoyed the video. Thank you for taking us along!❤

[@fraukeg.facchini2691]

Thank you for the interesting tour. Your grandfather was a great forward thinker, and I think that you have inherited that trait. 😊👍🏵

[@Blossomandbranch]

Thank you!

[@sarahtrew9331]

This is fascinating, thank you to you and your dad for sharing 😊

[@tamararobinson2069]

Loved this. So interesting!! Excited to see and hear more.

[@SarahFluffyErica]

This was such a cool video! I can't wait to see the next one 😊

[@Blossomandbranch]

More to come!❤️

[@emilymimikos4756]

This was fascinating to watch! 👏

[@kimmy0868]

So thankful for our farmers, it’s Hard work, much harder back then. This video is an absolute treasure for your family for generations to come❤ I grew up around backer barns (tobacco) till I was about 10. They were the best places to play! Thank you for sharing😎

[@tashaking8907]

Wow that was a big job.

[@Blossomandbranch]

Sure was!! I’m still tired haha

[@eyrerosecottage1970]

I can't wait to see what's next!

[@Blossomandbranch]

it's CRAZINESS! I'm freaking out a bit!

[@denisebritton2414]

Thank you for this! Very interesting.

[@ColleenMaher-u6b]

This was quite informative. Thanks.

[@fraukeg.facchini2691]

As a child, my chore was to go to the farmer in the evening to pick up the freshly milked raw milk. My mother would collect the cream that rose to the top of the milk. Nobody ever got sick from this raw milk. 😮

[@Blossomandbranch]

That's great! It is very risky though, bovine TB is serious and cows can easily catch from wildlife!

[@fraukeg.facchini2691]

@@Blossomandbranch True, but these cows didn't have any opportunity to come in contact with wildlife (sadly), so my family survived the raw milk. ;)

[@ryanwendinger]

I am originally from southern MN. Ibwas rasied on a farm near New Ulm. Where did you grow up or where is the farm? Moved to South Dakota and monoculture ag keeps heading west with improved genetics in seed. Definitely a changing landscape.

[@Blossomandbranch]

This is just north of Austin MN, near Albert Lea!

[@shelleybell7411]

This was very interesting to learn about, thank you for sharing 😊

[@Blossomandbranch]

Thank you for watching, he really enjoyed doing it!

[@albertnett7864]

Great tour.

[@Blossomandbranch]

Glad you enjoyed it, dad enjoyed giving it!

[@TheSmokyMountainFlowerFarmer]

Yay! First one! 💚👋🏼

[@TheSmokyMountainFlowerFarmer]

Cleaning our barn is always my least favorite chore but it is always so rewarding when it is done! I always forget to wear a mask and I pay for it later. My allergies appreciate a mask!

[@Blossomandbranch]

❤️🎉 hope you like it!

[@TheSmokyMountainFlowerFarmer]

@@BlossomandbranchI do already! 10 minutes in and so impressed with the whole operation and I now know where you get your talent for explaining things so perfectly! Your Pops is such a sweetheart! 💚

[@WhiteOakHollow]

Where do you get your daughter’s prairie dresses? My daughter is obsessed with prairie dresses and bonnets.

[@Blossomandbranch]

We get them from etsy, a shop called "gathering of goods"!

[@takingtally]

Hi. I am a subscriber to KZbin so that I don’t have to watch ads. I wonder how this affects those whose channel I follow and watch 🤔 Regardless, I cannot see a way to subscribe to a paid subscription for your channel on KZbin . Would you be able to put that link in the comments on the videos? ? Thanks for all you do! It’s worth it and many are watching what you’re doing here. ~Janelle in Ohio

[@smellslikedirt525]

My family owned a large farm on the east coast. (property is leased out to farmers now.). The government is slowly squeezing them all out. Mega corporate farms are turning us into a socialist country and no one seems to notice.

[@Blossomandbranch]

Yes, small family farms are definitely fading away, it's becoming harder and harder to stay afloat as a small operation, sadly.

[@MarisB-b8z]

Why are the shelters always looking like prisons in North America..why not an open field in the outdoors where they can run free....

[@Blossomandbranch]

They pastured outdoors, the barn is where they were milked and slept. Cows need shelter in cold zones.
