I Can't Work In These Conditions! 

Hello, many have commented that Carrie is limping. She has a bad hip and is going to the butcher in 2 weeks.

Pete - You and Hilary are such special people. I always feel good, and peaceful after watching your videos. Thank you both for being so wonderful and sharing your lives with us.

Your house videos are just as interesting as the farm videos. You and Hilary sure are busy people. It is obvious you didn’t leave your previous position to relax. It makes such a difference in life when your doing what you love. Great video. Thank you.

Mornin' piggers, Mornin' cows. Mornin' Pete and Hillarie

I can't count the number of cords of wood I"v cut in my younger days. That's all we used to use for heat back in the day and I loved it. We were young, strong, and full of life and enjoyed every minute of it. load up the kid's in the back of the truck, throw in the chainsaws and a beer for after the work is done, and, go! What fun, what a life! Pete, in every video you keep bringing up new things that you and Hillary do or have done, and I appreciate the way you treat your farm animals. A kind man always treats his animals well to the end.

We had two varieties of wisteria in our place. Such a beautiful plant with ornate and fragrant flowers. I love your yard and Hillary made me laugh today!

Hope College alum here. Love the shirt. The Hope College Women’s basketball team are reigning national champions!

Hi Hilarie and Pete ! You were treading in dangerous territory Pete dumping those leaves on Hilarie as she held the ladder you wrre standing on ! Lololo ! Boy your days are full ! You both work so hard ! Thank you for taking the time to share your videos with us...we love your animals and the variety of personalities goin on there ! Piggies and cattle are so tame and comical! Names and all we know now as well ! Piglets are something else ! They've grown so much and warmed up to you !🐽 ! You're always so pleasant Pete...we enjoy every video ! Thanks so much ! 😊

I enjoy your segments often and wish I was closer to your area. This video was particularly enjoyable: you and your wife being playful while doing chores, visiting the animals and your upbeat and relaxed demeanor was just what I needed today Thanks!

I could never express how much I do enjoy your content. I was born in the concrete jungle in Brooklyn NY in the 60s. As a child I always wanted to be a farmer. Just like you. Thank you Pete, Hillary and family for getting me there inside my head.

That looked like a good day. I hope you enjoy the burgers. ❤

I concur with the other commenters, that you and Hillary are such special people. If it makes you feel better, the rest of us are always behind on chores, and never seem to have the time to catch up! But watching you two work together is always a joy.

Good day Pete and Hillary. thanks for posting! I hope to buy my own farm this coming year and your channel has been incredibly helpful in my journey. all the best wishes for you and your family.

Pete, I was relived to see that you were handling the cooking for dinner. After the whole gutter incident, you are wise to not let Hillary out of your sight to do any cooking for you! ;-) Another great video - thanks for sharing it! Take care and God Bless.

Messing with Hilary is the answer why the lunch she makes you for the market is missing ingredients. Thanks for the upload

Your channel is the best! Nothing but FARM life. The ONLY channel worth my time.

After my kennel chores, I come and sit down with my tea and watch a few video's from Just a few acres farm. It relaxes me and I can come up with a huge "honey do" list after that. I am so glad I put all my time and money into my house when I first bought it & I was much younger. Now as I reach past my senior years I'm greatful for the comforts and that I don't need to pay todays prices to do everything.

I’m not a farmer but I appreciate you guys. Great video Pete

Pete, I watched the soot fall onto the wall as you cleaned the stack. My wife would go ballistic if i didn't tape up plastic first. The rain of leaves was funny though 😂

I loved the series on the house restoration. Watching the piggers come to you reminds me of how they used to run from you! It’s amazing to see how they have cleared their pasture area, a before and after foto would show how a virtual jungle was stripped clean in a very short time!

Was Carrie limping on her back right foot? I love Hillary ❤️ She is a smart a**. She gives it as good as she gets it from you Pete! She is an extraordinary lady.

Your voice is very soothing. I always like catching up with you and Hillary and all the farm animals. Thanks for all you do!

We sure enjoy watching you. You two have such an Awesome disposition and out look. Thank you. Terry and Stephanie 🤗🤗

You and your beautiful family are the American Dream, in my eyes!!! Thank you for your devotion on this farm and how you all work together show the rest of the world how we should all live!!! Families are getting smaller and less. I miss my grandfather chicken farm. Built his own home and raised his family on Staten Island n.y. xame from Sicily. I Admire your tenacity , your knowledge put family first!!! 👪 blessings always!! Yo you and yours. I love you all yur perfect farm. Family is number 1 !!

your wife is an angle working along with you, Bless you all

It's nice to hear you and Hillary laughing with each other. I've not seen that many times in families I've known. It's a good thing.

Enjoyable as always, Thanks Pete and Hillarie!

So nice to see Hilary in your videos.....

Pete, love your stuff. Whether it's tractors, pigs, chickens, or just plain ole farm life. Love every minute of it.

I love that old farm house of yours. There's just a warmth that flows from an old farm home that takes me back to special memories of peace and comfort. I grew up on a beef cattle farm and a big old farm house. Good memories. Have a great day.

Pete, l need you to know one thing l have learned watching your channel. I have a whole new respect for farming. l thought l was a hard working American but you showed me l have nothing on you. Hats off to you and Hillary. God bless you and thank you for the fantastic content..!!

Nice to see the Hope College shirt!! Go Flying Dutchmen!!

You guys are great! It's nice to see you guys teasing each other.

I always enjoy watching and listening to you, Mr. Pete. It takes me back to when I was a kid working on a farm in Indiana, many, many years ago. Thank you and your lovely wife for the wonderful family, friendly content that you put into your videos.

You guys are cute together. Keep up the hard work.

First time I saw Hillary really laugh loud! You guys are a great team. Great video.

A city resident says thank you for some Country living. So enjoyable for many.

Those shingles look like my Certainteed ones after 5 years. The manufacturer paid pennies on the dollar under their "special warranty". I feel your pain.

how lucky are you your grand paa made this you spent your childhood there and now new generation will share same legacy only lucky once have this opportunity,

Hi Pete, just got my "Howdy Piggers" tee shirt , the adult kids loved it. We watched a Video and they think we need a "Come on Cows" tee. Just an Idea. Great Video.

Getting ready for winter sounds like a challenge. Nice to watch the effort and changing seasons on your farm.

I truly love the banter between you and your precious wife!

Hilary is great putting up with your antics

Love a wood burning stove. The smell brings back childhood memories. We used to mix coal in with our wood &.I really liked the smell of a coal burning.. But my mother hated the smell & the mess it made , so once my brother & I were big enough to get the firewood in , we stopped burning coal.. Love the autumn . The smell in the woods & it was also our hog butchering time.. I always loved the smell of snow... I thinks our memories are tied directly with smells .. Enjoyed it Pete..

Pete the burgers looked real good, bet they were Dexters of course. Nice vlog I love to see do all your chores, it encourages me especially when Hillarie helps. Take care ,enjoy your supper.

Love these videos!! You and Hilary remind me SOOOO much of my husband and me. We have a few years on you two tho. But we've been married 43+yrs, have worked together in our business for over 22yrs and are just retired one year now. But we enjoy each other and have many many laughs together. We now travel some in a travel trailer but pretty much just spend time with the two of us and our daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter. Life is GOOD!!! Thanks for taking so much time on your videos they are very professional.

Pete it’s a special thing to have a wife to help you. She should of pull your ladder when you was dropping leaves lol

Pete enjoy the program. You are lucky to have Hillary as a partner. You are also lucky she didn’t move the ladder!

Hello Mr. Pete! wonderful video! I'm surprised Ms. Hillary didn't rattle the ladder on you whilst you dropped leaves on her! You two are the best. I always appreciate watching the sun set at work, because you will never see an exact duplicate of that sunset. Each is unique and a gift each evening. I have watched the videos of when you two started restoration work on the house. That is definitely a feat that you can hang your hat on. Looking forward to seeing the tires put on the tractor. Take care!

Great video.....continue to love your interaction with the cows, and pigs......Glad you got the gutters cleaned out, and were finished with cleaning the chimney. That is always a messy job! Its Daylight Savings Time, and I am exhausted......from what, I don't have a clue, but I wanted to sleep all day. Hi HIlary! Hugs to family...(Make me a burger...they look great.) Bev in Maine

Thanks Pete. Nothing like a beautiful sunset.

I’m glad part of your motivation is to encourage young people to farm. Or to take on challenges and pursue dreams. Thrift and a good work ethic along with patience take us much farther than we might initially think. That’s been my experience and it seems to align with some of your ideas. I find your channel very peaceful.

Pete, this is a bit off top ic but you and Hillary are blessed by God to be together. What a wonderful

Hello and Hay to the Cows!

What a beautiful day to work on the house and farm. The cattle are looking good going into the winter. Carrie looked a little lame walking into the new pasture. Thank you for your diligence with producing these videos. Always enjoy them.

Everything looks so beautiful on your farm. Sorry to hear about Carrie. Sounds like maybe that was unexpected and that you will tell us more about it soon. I hope her calf handles the transition well. I’m new to pigs but mine really love to till… as long as the ground is wet! We started having rain a few weeks ago and have had some really big storms here in Oregon. So my pigs have been very busy!! It’s currently snowing but not sticking. Very windy. When my brother recently visited my pigs for the first time… he was shocked there was no smell. They are out on pasture now with shelters because we don’t get your type of winter…. Not even close! So even the pens they spent the summer don’t smell. I am always happy to point that out to people who are accustomed to feed lots and CAFO farms. Same with my chickens and I hope the same with my Dexters. Congratulations on getting through the turkeys and approaching the quieter time of year. Thank you so much for your example and important opinions. And I love your book💚

Fantastic job on the house! Love your goofy sense of humor. Y’all always make me laugh.

You’re admiring the pig’s hams. 😂😂😂😂

We had to put in a new Combi Furnace-Water heater last year. Best decision ever

Pete, heating with wood actually warms you three ways, you get warm cutting it down, again when you split and stack it, then a third time when it burns. Thinking about it, you could say cleaning the flue would be a fourth time as well? What do you think? Another Pete, Pete Higgins

I was thinking I'm surprised you don't have gutter guards just before you mentioned them. Interesting info about the pigs creating and keeping their bathroom areas separated.

Great video, and very enjoyable. Time for maintaining a house is something I would love to have more of too.

Hopefully the kids will be able to help fix stuff up as you guy's get up there.👍👍💚

as always a great video. Love seeing Hillary...

Hey Hilary.... when you felt the leaves falling, you should have shaken the ladder... LOL Bet the leaves would had quit falling on your head. Haha

It's grate to have green grass this time a year !!!!!!

Great video Pete and Hilary! Good change up and intellectual advise! Keep it up 👍

You're awesome Pete and family you make everyone watching feel like they're part of your family keep up the awesome job and positivity and thank you for being a good person

Just add my comments from a few below It's a pleasure viewing you both and your life.

When you saying how round Patty is almost on cue she looked behind her. 😆

One year ago today we had our first litter of piglets on the farm. Since then, we've had eight litters between 4 sows. Friday our first sow, Goldie, farrowed her third litter. Our second sow, Pinkie, also farrowed her third litter yesterday. Brownie, our third sow looks very pregnant with her second litter. And Rolly Polly just weaned her first litter. A total of 70 piglets from those 8 litters

Pete was Caries foot sore, she seemed to be limping? Thanks for a fun video 😊👏🏼

Love your videos. I'm learning a lot about a variety of aspects of the farm.

Happy Sunday Pete and Hillary 😍

Great video. Y'all are a breath of fresh air right when I need it.

Once again…a real pleasure, thanks!

Thank you for sharing Pete and Miss Hillary. There's always something to do on a farm. Your live stock look so Healthy. That's probably of the good care they get..

Sorry, l posted before l finished..So let me finish. You and Hillary are a wonderful team put together by God. Love love love your content. l find it so satisfying to watch every single vid. Love you guys..!!!

UGH!! you just reminded me! I have to go clean my Gutters too!. but mine are a lot easier than yours, only in one corner of the house and its a ranch style so I can get the job done from my 8ft aluminum step ladder. which is fine by me, I'm pushing 80 so not looking forward to too much high ladder work. All though I did manage to get the star up on the chiminy, and that required the 20ft extention ladder. but it was an easy climb. so that job's done and we have our Christmas Star ready to go for the season. Those bugers sure looked good. nice to really know what you're eating for sure. thanks again Pete to you and Hillary. for sharing your day with us. God Speed. ECF

Thank you for sharing the upkeep of your home and your farm and giving sound advice.

If you grind your own peppercorns, toss in some allspice randomly. Now that adds a little flavor all its own.

Good morning Pete and Hillary.

Love your videos! Also, like that you keep your kids' lives private!

Great video and glad to see the Hope College shirt once again before it gets too cold!

In ireland the 1970s single story houses like ours have concrete pan tiles ours are 51 years old and I don't doubt will last another 100. Due to bird flue by order no poultry or fowl can be kept outdoors. Some of our wild seabirds have suffered near extinction. The only cure seems to be slaughter.

I just love your story so much. It gives me memories of my grandma only getting electricity in the barn because it was depression time. Other people didn't get any. The milk house also got electricity too. then when I came along in 1954 the farmhouse started its improvements. I remember every bit of the major reports. Even today it's more repairs it never ends.

Sorry to hear about John. You are lovely people, loyal and loving to all your animals #justafewacresfarm ♥

Pete , i'm sure there are mornings when you wake up and wish someone else would do all the work, sitting by the stove on a cold evening wishing someone else would go out and do the evening jobs. There is a lot to be said for what you have and have built and run on a daily basis an d i hope it never become mundane. While i understand the commitment. guaranteed there a loads watching your vids that would love to switch (including myself) and hopefully that make you appreciate more than ever what you have,

Fingers crossed a shingles manufacturer or metal roofing company would like to sponsor you along with gutter guard too of course! We can hope. Never seen a stove pipe you can clean from the bottom love the idea saves some falls I’m sure. So enjoy your videos look forward to seeing them so much. Susan

Oh, Pete - that scares me! My husband fell last year doing that. He is ok but he was bruised and sore! We now have a gutter guard type product. You should have that installed!

Nice video! I'd never actually seen all angles of your home, so beautiful!

I find your comments about the pigs bathroom interesting. Many years ago I would raise a couple of pigs to eat. They always pooped in one spot, but that is not where they lived. People say "dirty as a pig", but given the area and opportunity, a pig won't wade walk live in their own poop. They will poop in their bathroom and live elsewhere. Enjoy your videos. Keep em up!!!

When you said that you were a chimney sweep, I truly expected you to go straight into a song from Mary Poppins....lol

Thanks for video, I enjoyed watching the video. I've never seen a pipe like the one on the house.we use to heat with wood but the pipe went from pop belly stove to see outside chimney. Good to see animals again. Take

Pete, you might have insulation blocking your attic ventilation, lack of ventilation will cut the shingle life in half. Even three tabs should last 25-30 years. Thanks for another great video!

you have a very pretty wife good job

Bossy Pig reminds me of a boar I raised for 4-H geeze that was in the 50s! You are correct BP does have great-looking hams!

Even the young pigs have a union rep. Ms. White/black spots(with the pretty hams). Good to see the 2 of you having fun and laughs. That is what keeps us all going. My husband retired this year and has taken months to discover he doesn't have to work like a mad man on the weekends to get all the work on the house and property done. It can happen every day of the week now. That might explain why he got a job!! He feels better now jamming all kinds of work in on the weekend. Go figure! More laughs coming up-we lost power for over a day so some fast canning is in store. Be good and keep laughing.

The first video of yours that I saw was your one about restoring your house. I subscribed and have loved watching the channel ever since

Two types of roundy-patties in this video. 😅 This was a fantastic video. Thank you all again for sharing. Now I’m going to go rake leaves.
