Welcome! We are a family of 6 living on Acres of Clay.
My husband (Kevin) and I (Ronda) own and operate a Dairy Farm in Michigan. Although farming is our way of life, we are also very passionate about being self-sufficient and living off the land as much as possible.
We raise cattle, chickens, and turkeys.
We also grow a garden and preserve much of the harvest.
We share videos of helpful ideas for homesteading, farming, do it yourself projects, gardening, and repairs.
We also post videos about gardening in zone 5b, food preserving, and recipes.
Our desire is to inform people of real-life farming practices and show you our life on the homestead.
Check out our social media links below Merch coming soon 🔥

Rhonda, recently my wife and I discovered your channel and we really enjoy your format and content. We are semi-retired, in Wichita KS having grown up on farms just west of Wichita you all provide us enjoyable memories of family and farm life. We know it takes a lot to generate, edit and post these videos. Thank you to each of you for sharing. We have a great appreciation for what your family and all farm families do to feed our nation! Best regards to you, Kevin and family... you ALL make a positive difference in this world!
Happy belated Father's Day to Kevin!!! Will we need to wish Seth and Ethan a Happy Father's Day next year?!?! It is frustrating when you just get something fixed, and the same thing happens again. Aren't all farmers supposed to have a pocket knife with them all the time?!?! (Ha!Ha!)
Enjoyed your video, couple questions if you don’t mind. How many acres do you farm and how many cows 🐄 do you milk? Thanks. Btw you have beautiful blue eyes.❤
I'm sure a lot of viewers will be sending you knives to be permanently kept in the cab of the tractor to help deal with such issues as twine cutting. Excellent thinking outside the box! A tape measure saved the day.
Years ago I swathed a patch of brome. I got to last strip across the field. A coyote come out , if looks could kill I'd be dead! A couple weeks later I swathed the patch of Sudan grass next to it. The coyote come out , trotted away from me , sniffing the base of the windrow. It caught something , ate it , trotted away!
I have ran a few fawns through a conditioner. Always hated that but you can’t see them from the tractor seat and when they get scared they just lay down as flat as they can instead of running away.
Those hydraulic hoses can be a real hassle, my youngest son and I have a lot of older equipment and we're dealing with a broken-worn out shoe on his discbine, so we just bent it down and finished the field he was in. Us farmers just do our best, given the circumstances. Good luck on the rest of the season, I hope all goes well and I want to wish Kevin a Happy Father's Day!
I had to turn off the channel watching you and a jacket was making me sweat. It’s 90 here in Central Ohio with a weeklong heat wave coming on not sure where you’re at and why you’re wearing a jacket that tractor must have awesome AC.
What a sweet lady; "I slow down and watch for baby Deer". Those bales are pretty big not sure what they weigh or how many small bales they equal, but it would be a lot easier to pick up because you use a machine!
