Busy time on the farm! The skills your children are learning means they’ll never go hungry. Great job mom and dad!

[@sarad2083]

I love how the young kids are so unphased by all of this with the animals, they are the true pioneers ❤

[@ms.royahrens8777]

No snow to speak of yet here in my part of Idaho, but it got down to 15 with the wind chill night before last! Today the high was in the 40’s. Discovered the heated bucket for the chickens isn’t working so time for a new one! Thankful it happened now instead of Jan.!

[@Omequa1]

This is so awesome to see everyone helping. These children are being raised right!

[@RetiredLovingIt]

I remember so much of this. My grandmother raised chickens. I was a plucker. It was a family affair for us as well.

[@RetiredLovingIt]

We had to pluck by hand after scalding

[@jennysfarmsweetfarm7726]

So impressed by how your kids all pitch in and work right along side you! You are instilling great values, morals & character in those fine young people! Good job to you mom & dad!👏 Thanks for taking us along as you prepare for winter!

[@ChildofGod98765]

Thanks for sharing. This was beautiful to watch. It feels like I’m losing everything over declining the vaccine my job as a social worker soon my home. I’m now working in fast food making 8 dollars an hour instead of using my two degrees that I’ve worked hard for. It’s scary how my life changed over my decision not to put something I don’t want in my body. I didn’t want to take any chances because of my lupus and heart disease. I’m already in a lot of pain. I feel ashamed and all alone. I am a single mother with two beautiful autistic children both non verbal. Im having a hard time providing for them at this time. But I still have FAITH that God will provide for us.

Please apply for assistance with the state, you would certainly qualify.

Prayers for you! Stay strong.... you are not alone!

[@juliabrown5948]

Prayers for you, good for you following your convictions.

[@kathysparks6338]

Enjoyed the video, thank you for sharing, what a blessing to have a family that works and plays together and helpful friends, God bless.

[@robinnelson4516]

I enjoy the work ethic of your family. Everyone helps happily.

[@juliabrown5948]

Yes, this!! So important and so rare nowadays. I'm trying hard to install this in my children, even though we only have chickens and a garden right now. Such a hugely important life lesson.

[@hottlehaus8959]

Its always nice to see a family working together!!

[@libbyhicks7549]

We like your videos because everybody's workin. Keeps us motivated. We are making rugs out of old sheets today. Gettin crafty on 'Revolution Eve'. Tidings to you all.

[@janetgrooms4008]

I sooo enjoy all your videos

[@markfields8092]

I put the turkey in the chicken plucker the same as the chickens. What I do is hold the turkey up while the plucker is going and then flip it over and do the other end. It does it quickly but you cant just put it in because the weight will keep the plucker from spinning.

[@lindalagarce8996]

I hear you, November is busy for us too. Preparing for winter, making sure pipes are wrapped and covered, getting dead leaves and limbs cut and composted, any repairs before winter sets in, and we aren’t harvesting chickens this year! Lol praying y’all get it all done. Hugs and love from Texas!

[@tammygagnon996]

Oh I wish I could be there to help!!

[@PetroGP]

Thanks for sharing! God bless you all!!

[@Sadie0710]

So funny talking about how needs done and you have someone relaxing in chair behind you!!! Lol!!!

[@HeartwayFarms]

Ha ha, they relax when they can :) We are just blessed that they all actually like being involved and doing some of the work when it's time :) Blessings!

[@Sadie0710]

Awesome family!!!

[@edsauer5870]

Another great video folks. Noticed during the chicken processing the tables are standard height didn't know if ever thought about making leg extenders for them. I made several sets out of pvc pipe 1 1/4" dia and about 12" long. It really helps with the back strain. Wishing you folks a wonderful and happy holiday season!!! 😀

[@ggarden8432]

I'm starting winter prep today.

[@tonijurkones9797]

Good morning ☀️

[@lornasleeper7262]

Love your videos!

[@countrymousesfarmhouse497]

What a beautiful video. You're all giving your best and bonding as a family, I love that.Ive now lived in this sub tropical state for so long that I forget what it takes to prepare for winter. 😬 Instead our problem around butchering animals focuses on whether we can get a few cool days to do it and we have to hire a cold room because its too warm even in winter to hang them without it. Thank you for sharing lovelies 🥰🤩

[@melissakalloway1916]

Busy, but productive time, getting the homestead in shape for winter. I winced watching you carry those wire rabbit cages. You need some work gloves, girl! TFS (:

[@sallylignitz3327]

Great video

[@joyarnett6570]

Im new to your channel I enjoy your videos you all have a beautiful farm...I live in Kentucky..

[@justpatty7328]

Great video, showing the real deal. I love your barn! Such great history! Blessings to your family ❤

[@garagestory]

Ya’ll stay busy for sure! I liked the closing time lapse with the sunset.

[@ljmproductions1]

The time lapses added a nice touch; I agree!

[@dr.rev.lindabingham]

Blessings to all!

[@teribartusek2359]

Great job yall! God bless!

[@jackieburnett6881]

Y’all really had a lot to do! Enjoyed watching how your entire family works together. That is really good training!

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

Love your videos. William is an awesome worker!!!! A handsome hard working young man.

[@HeartwayFarms]

He is such a blessing and truly enjoys the farm life!

[@juliabrown5948]

Love this!! Would love to see a freeze dryer video with you and your chicken friend, was her name Natalie?! I got a freeze dryer last month! Ooh and I'd also love to know where Julianne's camo coveralls came from! I need some like that!

[@preppingmama]

We process chickens, too. Honest question, why do you have everything so spread out? That’s a lot of walking and lost time! Cheers to filled freezers!

[@benniesteffey7487]

GOD Bless u

Who was spinning in circles in the intro background? Hilarious 😂

[@HeartwayFarms]

Ha ha, Elise is enjoying herself prior to the start of all the activities :-)

[@Adventureswithamy18]

I really enjoyed watching just some of what y’all have to do to winterize your farm! My Dad was raised on a farm and he talks about some of the stuff they did as kids. Makes me wish my boys could have lived on a farm.

[@zombiemom5088]

My husband and I love lamb but my kids haven’t acquired the taste yet 🤣😂🤣 but they do love deer 🦌 and elk

[@JillRB]

Now I’m worried. We have an order of 40 Rudd Rangers coming next week. We chose them, because I liked that they like to free range like our laying hens. We did Cornish Cross Broilers last time and it kind of grossed me out how little they were interested in moving around. I knew that the Rudd Rangers would take twice as long to raise, but I had no idea that they wouldn’t be the same size as what Cornish crosses are at the end. Watching from Becker, Minnesota. I’ve really been enjoying your videos!

[@HeartwayFarms]

I think if you provide a "free-range forage" with full access to supplemental feed they will grow very well... Just make sure to keep feed available to them ALONG WITH free-ranging.

[@kathy3178]

For years canning intimidated me. After watching your videos, I don't feel so intimidated. I have been getting everything ready for my husband. When he gets home, he runs the pressure cooker outside on a propane stove.

[@zombiemom5088]

You can totally do it!! If you make a mistake just try again!! Remember if a kid fails you can give the food a 2nd run in the canner in a fresh jar and lid . Or just eat it !! I’ve been canning for years .. kid failures sometimes happen and sometimes a jar breaks in the canner .. don’t get discouraged it happens to all of us occasionally 😊

[@yvonnepoe9926]

Such hard working kids.Do you all get to rest some in the winter`

[@juliabrown5948]

Quick Question about leaving the lambs hanging, does it need to be below a certain temperature to do that?

[@HeartwayFarms]

35 deg to 40 deg is ideal :)

[@lorivarak6931]

I love your videos, I'm always happy when a new one pops up! We raised our Thanksgiving turkey too, but this will be the first time we've butchered one ourselves. Is the gutting process essentially like a chicken, or are things we need to know first?

[@HeartwayFarms]

Hello! It is much the same as a chicken.... We just dry plucked the turkey 🦃 instead of attempting to scald it. Have fun and happy Thanksgiving!

[@lorivarak6931]

[@tammywheeldon7767]

What state are you in? We have had a couple freezes here in southern central TN but no snow

[@HeartwayFarms]

Hello! Northern Illinois

[@sarahspencer3737]

You said hanging the lambs helps the meat taste better, what does this process do that helps it taste better? I'm very curious lol. Thanks for these wonderful videos

[@HeartwayFarms]

Hello! Most animals such as dear, cattle, lambs, are hung up and aged for a period of time. Some people hang cattle for as long as 21 days at around 40 degrees plus or minus. This process helps to make the meat more tender and has other benefits to it.

I'm so sorry if this is offensive but I'm only coming from a curious heart. This is the first time I've seen one of your daughters wear pants. Do yall wear both?

[@juliabrown5948]

I am also curious! It's hard to work on a farm in a skirt!!

Will the puppies be for sale?? 😬😁🙏🏻🥰

Yes they will :)

Shouldn't the rabbits be up off the floor so droppings won't be in the bottom of the cages freezing
