WHO KNEW THIS WAS COMING

[@Jomama02]

I'd like to thank you for keeping this politically free. It's a great stress reliever watching good wholesome things and your family working together and being a family! And of course all the animals and veggies!

[@karenpruitt6833]

Ditto!

[@KS-ip5xn]

I loved those veggie "sweaters" the twins were wearing. How adorable the kids looked wearing them.

[@beanalupines5101]

I cannot put into words how good it was to hear the heartfelt, resounding "Bye Bye" again from the farm home table and folks. Also, thank you for taking the time to educate us on seeds Andrew!

[@thanchon1]

I had the pleasure of stopping by the farm market today (01/22/2025). Got to meet Mimi and Grandpa. What super nice people. I even got to ask all the dumb questions about the farm and saying how surreal visiting the store is in person a bunch of times. Thank you for making the side trip fun!.

[@leslienichols5268]

I would say that if I got to visit too!

[@NoName-NNISOTBS]

The calves running and jumping are so cute. Never gets old.

[@cassiebanks]

Love those precious videos where your family gets together. I remember the old days...when Pop Pop was always trying to find his comfy "I'm Home" pants and the whole family waved good-bye from the dinner table. Kids grow up so fast.😊

[@KevinXVito]

I live in Long Island but watching you is such a different life from anyone I know it’s awesome

[@nancyschaeffer569]

I am an old woman I live by myself but I feel so happy when I watch your beautiful and loving family.

[@Motorhead-bv5lu]

hi Nancy 😀🇨🇦

[@bobdubree4718]

Nancy, I'm in Iowa , canning and gardening is how I keep busy. Retired horticulture major, this content is Awesome. Wish you the best

[@pjmoody]

I always love your endings. What a lovely family you have. Thanks for sharing

[@leannekenyoung]

Wow it’s awesome to see you with your children at your parents for dinner again! I know it’s not easy with three kids in tow to be able to be over at their dinner table but it sure is heartwarming to see you all around the table. I’m sure Matt and Tracy are having a terrific vacation! God bless the veggie boys and girls! 🥰❤️🇨🇦🍁😂

[@MauriceHaseen]

I love the morning chicken choir before egg collection. The cows need to join the choir 😄😄😄

[@dianeking9724]

It put a smile on my face seeing you all together at the dinner table saying Bye Bye to all of us.

[@supplieshotline3388]

I'm an old man and I live on a boat. Currently, I'm in the Bahamas watching all the news about the snow and cold weather y'all are having. Burrr! I would like to learn more about your Chicken operation. How many chickens do you have, and how many eggs do they produce. What does it cost to feed your chickens and after their production drops, do you sell them or, well, you know, eat (some) of them and process then sell the rest? What do you feed them and also, very important (I think), what do you do with their droppings? Oh, and by the way, I also enjoy watching your channel. When things go wrong on the boat, which happens A LOT(!!!), watching your channel is like eating comfort food. So, I guess that makes this channel a Comfort Channel! Cheers!

[@katechildofgod2596]

You need to go back and watch all the videos! 😂 He’s answered all of these. I know they make their own feed, yes they butcher chickens , yes they grow them from chicks they buy, when production goes down they replace and I I heard right 18 dozen a day?

[@farmcentralohio]

Chicken litter is a very good fertilizer. Put it on farm fields and or gardens

[@suesmith5033]

Lucky you! Sounds like you are living the dream!

[@annettenewton6240]

After 2 years they bring in new pullets because after 2 years a chicken production goes down hill.They send those off to sell. The little chicks they get, those are raised as meat birds. They are a different type of chicken. I think they just do those mostly for their own family. They grind their own chicken feed which brings their feed cost down.

[@alfredmcintosh16]

I use the manure in my garden.

[@lavernfoy4591]

It would be a wonderful blessing to sit with the family for dinner. Love y’all so much. ❤️🙏

[@quarterlimit5838]

I love the info on the cucumbers. I try to grow a few new varieties every year to see how they handle the area I’m in. Your input is valuable as we have similar zones. Thanks!!

[@lindawoody8501]

Thanks for the idea of cucumber varieties to consider. Glad you got the little calves moved to their new pen. Glad too you got the work areas spruced up a bit and organized. Nice family bye-bye ending too. Liked those duds for the babies.

[@chikn2145]

Thanks for the the conversation on cuke varieties! As a fellow grower this is helpful to see your own choices backed up by fellow growers. Really appreciate your videos! I would also like to see videos on your philosophy about chickens as I have a flock also. Its really great to see your interaction with your babies, they will so soon be teenagers!

[@karinazhigaylo4216]

Hello Andrew and the whole family. We enjoy watching your videos and have been watching them for a long time now. We would surely appreciate you naming the varieties of vegetables you grow, like tomatoes and peppers, as we ourselves have been gardening and exploring good varieties. Blessings to everyone and your farm!

[@dwaasmikol]

Also thanks from the Netherlands and trying to be a small local farmer for the family

[@beanalupines5101]

Hoi! From Oregon!

[@BarBeeHoney]

I could watch you do chores every day on every vid- it’s therapeutic. I kno to most people it would seem dull & repetitive, but nothing is ever the same. Another great vid & you are lucky to have so much family! ❤

[@karenpruitt6833]

I totally agree😊

[@Redmapleleaf113]

Those fleece jackets are adorable! Whomever made them just made the babies officially the "Veggie Babies"!! Very kind of you. Very nice. And Pop Pop's hat is pretty cool too!

[@timfetner8029]

So glad to hear you go into more detail on the vegetables that you grow. I’ve had a garden for the past 30 years and I always like to know what varieties other folks grow. Love the channel and always look forward to your new vids. Keep up the great work!!

[@ErnestRusseau-k5d]

I love watching you feed the animals. The chickens give you guys a lot of eggs

[@Saoirse.n.Murphy]

Awe... the calves have made my week@ Love the farm. Thank you. Peace

[@joniwasson2866]

Thank you Andrew for talking about the cucumbers. I love making pickles every year, and i honestly never knew there are so many varieties of them. Did you share what picking cukes you grow? I may have missed that. But i love that you are talking about the varieties of seeds you use for your crops.

[@katiebarnes2232]

I absolutely love watching the orchestration of everything going on, on the farm! Have you noticed when you give the worms to the ‘ladies’ how quiet they get? Haha! Now that little calf must have known where he was supposed to be because it was standing right outside the pen it was to go in! Stay warm with that ‘bitter cold’ front moving in🥶 Enjoyed the seed, plant, yield education, please keep sharing!

[@joanneganon7157]

Hello Veggie People 👋. Your girls love ther new treats🎉. You calves are doing very well, move em in move em out👍. Enjoy your family dinner❤. Cute outfits! JO JO IN VT 💞☃️

Love seeing the family around the table 🤗, yummy dinner sure looks delicious. Nothing like getting the jobs done that you just normally leave ..makes you feel good. Take care x

[@billgraham5609]

I’m about to start all my pepper varieties this weekend here in Tennessee, then tomato’s in a few more weeks. Then start broccoli and cabbage so it will be ready for planting with carrots. If you talk about seeds and varieties in the same order of starting or planting in the season, that may give me new options or other people

[@beckyp9700]

Love this video! Thank you for sharing your seed catalog with us. I love learning about things like that. I get a catalog from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds They are in Mansfield MO. It is just spectacular! flowers/ companion plants, fruits and veggies. They really are just amazing. I do not know if they have a commercial side to them or if they are only home gardeners. Either way it is worth looking at. Thank you for sharing your world with all of us. Those coats for Ronnie and Lillie are just adorable. See everyone in the next one.

[@freedomranch5293]

Love the innocent and wholesome family content!

[@KenLamb-y5c]

Hi Veggie Boys and Girls, have you heard of a pickling cake called Cool Breeze. We go them in Manitoba and really like them. They have all female flowers and produce a lot of fruit. They don’t set seeds until late in the growing season, very good eating cucumber as well. Harvest at 5 or 6 inches and they don’t get bitter. Enjoy your videos, keep up the good work.

[@debbiedoyals2768]

Sure have missed the dinner table shots. Love your family. Thanks for sharing.

[@thekingtroll2]

Anyone, grow Santa Claus melons. A delicious fruit that even lasts a long time on the counter when picked. You can also sell those seeds to others. I actually bought three Santa Claus melons at the store for 98 cents each. They weigh 5 to 7 lbs. I gave my sister one and she went right over to the store and got a few herself. The first one rang up like $6.02. She told them that they were 98 cents. The manager walked back to the bin and came back and said "That is 98 cents per pound". She went back to look and he had just written "lb" on it. She came back up and told them that was not fair and for them to put all her groceries away. I saved all my seeds and have been growing them ever since.

[@davidchrisman855]

Thanks for sharing some of your varieties you grow for the ❤fields and to tray up to sell as starts. Great information. How did that calf get out? Did it get out again?

[@matthewgroff433]

Speaking of cucumbers, my mom and dad usually liked to plant "straight 8". They are a heirloom variety, a good all-around cucumber, good for snacking, slicing, pickling, salads, etc.

[@OregonBob1955]

How about doing some Atlantic Giant pumpkins this year? You got plenty of access to free “Manure Tea” which these species of pumpkins thrive on! You do it right and you’ll have some 500 pounders that will bring the customers in. Keep up the great work!

[@Naturebyjaz]

How many chickens would you say a family of 8 would need to supply all egg needs???

Talk about your Green Pepper Varieties next

[@LynnKorte-ve4qf]

We had our corn cracked before feeding it to our 400 to 500 head of feed log cattle,,and then dad would always run a few head of hogs with the feed lot cattle so to clean up the un digestive corn found in the cow pies,,after cracking the corn,that problem cleared up and the cattle then could digestively easier and break the cracked corn faster with more weight gain from a lesser amount of corn,, the clean up crews of hogs that were wandering around the feedlot waiting for something to drop down ,were goin hungry after that,,as there was no full kerals of corn remaining and left un digested and passed out sht in the cow pies anymore ck into that. Your grinder might be able to do it and you could bulk store the cracked corn in a bin

[@LynnKorte-ve4qf]

More weight gain with less corn after it was cracked increased quite a bit , as it also cut down our start to finish growing cost.

[@karenpruitt6833]

​@@LynnKorte-ve4qfI may be wrong but I think they harvested more corn than they could grind in feed & store. I think they kept the whole corn and are utilizing it. I may be wrong.😊

I keep thinking that they need to go to Home Depot and get some contractors knee pad’s for the comfort and cushion for their knees because it also prevents back pain too.

We do try to work on everything in the winter but we don’t have a heated shop. So when it gets really cold we can’t work for very long.

[@barbarabeagley6650]

​@@matthewochs8189 I think you should build a methane trap composter and use the methane to heat your shop.

​@@barbarabeagley6650that's funny, in the 70's there was a similar idea, it was called a poop gas generator. Now they're trying to control waste run off they're using the small 70's idea on massive scale.

Another great video 💪🏽🫡

[@JohnDeWeese-lq4pf]

The LSU Ag Research station had a cultivar Fig tree cross Theibold Fig tree (named after one of their more successful QUARTERBACKS!) and then there is a miscellaneous fig tree at the research station that someone found a dead cat near, and therefore the Fig Tree cultivar got named "Dead Cat 1" which, after fifty years, is STILL in production. There is even a fig tree called "The Godfather Fig" and if you remember Marlon Brandon being filmed in the God Father movie, and he puts the orange rind in his mouth and runs after his grandson scaring him (when he has a heart attack in the movie) he is running through fig tree branches. People took cuttings of the fig tree. Therefore, there is NOW a "Godfather Fig Tree" where cuttings were taken and sold from that tree. Crazy world we live in... Dead Cat Fig trees and Godfather Fig trees.

Hi Veggie Boys, I would like to know what kind of tomato is best for making tomato sauce. for pasta, pizza etc.

[@cindymoore9096]

Roma / paste style tomatoes are generally considered best for sauces. They have more meat, and less seeds & liquid, so they don’t take as long to thicken up as other types of tomatoes.

[@helen-r8l5d]

@@cindymoore9096 thank you for you time..

[@essaboselin5252]

@helen-r8l5d They sometimes go by a more generic term like plum tomatoes. Some heirlooms even have paste in their name, like Amish paste.
