Living Our Dream Life on a Small Farm in Canada 

Aww nice to hear that, thanks so much 😊

I know Tina … I only “discovered” it THIS MORNING …and it has returned my faith in humanity after what we have been thru these past 3-4 years … 🥰😻❤️🇨🇦 I just love the “way” he says ….”BUBBIE”( Bobby ) …lol My heart is bursting watching it all .. ❣️❣️

Wow, I'd dream of that. Here in Germany it's just weed growing over stuff...need to plant and fertilize if you want anything useful

Thnx, fun to try an episode with 5 different storylines. It took 3 days to upload into RU-vid 😂 these critters are our stress relievers everyday.

Aw thanks 🙏

This is my first time watching a canadian farmer, exept for one shepherd lady you likely know, whom I've loved to follow for maybe 3 years. The other farmers I follow are really fun, but it feels good to my ex translator's ears to hear good canadian English. Southern grammar sometimes sets my hair on ends, lol. Don't take that as meaning that I don't still enjoy watching them. Especially one who's had a cute children channel for about 3 or 4 months.

So true!

I need a job. Can l come work on your farm?

"You become what you focus on."

it was a very special vibrant fall season this year I just had to capture some of it on the right times to show off some good ole Canadian beauty. Olive is really something else with those pigs...it's almost like she think she's their mum.

Glad you enjoyed it

Yeah the dogs just make the farm that much better, thnx for watching. 🙏

Wow thnx for the comment and welcome to the farm. I’ll be creating a new cat cave for them too once I finish my new workshop, it’s gonna be fun.

Aww thanks. I’m happy to find people interested in following our journey. I appreciate you taking the time to drop a comment. See u around eh, Chad.

You are like the marines by getting more done before noon than most people do allnday😢😊

Hello, how are you? How is Home Steading going?

Very nice, I’m glad. I do have an episode on the ultimate catio build somewhere.

Good to know, I tried to give the ones in the trap to the chickens but they didn't touch it, probably cause most of them were dead and nasty.

Glad you enjoy it! Welcome to the farm. ✌️

❤️❤️❤️

Wow, thank you!

Yeah it’s a special relationship between Olive the sheepdog and Billie the mini pig. They’re good friends.

Very cool, welcome to the farm. Northern Ontario is very beautiful too with a lot more wildlife eh. Best of luck in your adventures, hope to see you around the channel.

It really is!

I did a video explaining my simplified version of biochar last summer, I need to make some more this summer too.

Nice, glad to hear 😊

Appreciate the kind words 😊

Happy to hear that!

Maraming salamat eh 😉

Glad you enjoy it!

😊

Thanks bud 🙏

Wow, thank you! So nice of you. Buying this property has changed our lives…from the animals to Mother Nature it all has made a significant improvement to our lives and given clarity to its outlook. If this is what you’re looking for, good for you, just make sure you’re financially prepared as the tools and equipment needed pile up fast. Best of luck. Chad.

Amein 🕊️🤗🙏🏽🧡🧡🧡✊🏽😅✨🌌🕊️

😆 yeah my Darlin makes a lot of soups, chillies and stews to warm us up. Once my face and fingers are numb it’s time to get inside 🔥

Yeah she’s a very happy dog, loves to play fetch and has unlimited energy 😊

I was thinking a bridge to a little tree house in the big tree out front the catio 😆

@@HiddenSpringFarm perfect. Would be so fun to watch them lol

❤️❤️

Sometimes even I can’t believe it. 😆 we just try to build a solid plan and buy by but follow through. I can’t even picture us going back to Toronto now…too many people 😝 Building up a RU-vid channel is a whole other beast too, so much work but so much fun. Plus we get a kick out of seeing everyone’s comments and such. Thanks for all the watching you do, Chad and the gang.

It's true Evelyn, I'm not sure if its because I handled them when they were young but I feel lucky considering some of the horror stories I hear.

Thanks for saying that 😊

Aww thanks. Maraming salamat 😊

Thanks Leona, thought I’d try a longer episode that someone could put up on the tv and relax.

Go for it! So far the best part of trying to live this lifestyle is how incredibly rewarding it is. Best of luck.

Oddly I have been notified of your response now as it says a month at the least since I communicated,.. that you for the comment back and encouragement. HalleluYAH God willing, when it's time it will be. What is definitely good to see some good insights of how some people figure different things out that work for them in their environments or situations and everything and enjoying life in a resourceful, innovative and abundantly self-sustaining as well as replenishing and taking care of the land animals and the community theater near you physically or with you sharing your blessings and lessons for us to be able to enjoy as well as learned and either think about or understand certain things that maybe you weren't sure how to do or you needed to do you know such you definitely not just do well with put some TLC into your filming and editing expressing explaining and the care that you do with your animals it shows they're loved and healthy , safe and enjoying the symbiosis

Thanks a million bud, I just keep plugging away at this RU-vid thing 😝

@@HiddenSpringFarm @lyer boy Abroad Chad, keep plugging away at utube!!! You are already doing an Excellente Job!! I really have enjoyed the beauty of your photography work on this Video and a couple others I have already watched!!! Have a Great Week !! 🤗♥️🙏🏼

@@kimfrommn7162 🙏

😊

It sure is. The chickens do love those Beatles.

Thanks bud. Maybe, I'll keep an eye on them if they start falling apart...I don't want little bits all over the place. We'll see how it goes. I never thought about it though.

Yeah she’s a big girl now, just turned 1 last January.

Right on! Happy to know u. Welcome to the farm

Yup our cats leave me their trophies all the time

Thank u for always watching 🍻

Thanks so much for following along. I release new episode every mon and thurs and mix in some fun shorts whenever I can. Appreciate you taking the time to comment, Chad and the gang.

Haha sometimes my Tagalog slips out 😂

At what point do you do it though? They’re about 6’-7’ right now I feel like it’s too early to prune. I was thinking maybe 12’-14’, then I want the tree to fill outwards not upwards. I’m not really sure though.

This for watching 😉

Appreciate that, thnx for checking it out. 🍻

Aww thanks 😊

Awesome, thank you!

Thank you so much 🤗

I appreciate the comment 🙏

Not sure where Fisherville is but we’re up in Horseshoe Valley area close to Barrie & Orillia.

Oh that’s awesome, glad you like them 😊

Chickens eat them 😝

@@HiddenSpringFarm wow that’s some good eating!😂I love your work and your content man it’s beautiful to see you build your happiness I would love that life👏🏻

Yeah they’re fairly docile compared to a lot of stories I heard.

Same to u and the family Johnny. 🍻 What’s for dinner this year?

Turkey 😆

@@johnnyharperscoutstable5386 nice!!! Did u see all the wild Turkey at the end of the video? They were looking pretty big.

Yeah bro. You got yours lined up my friend. I get mine for free from the hotel on Monday.🐸🍺🔪🔥

@@HiddenSpringFarm That was a big flock of wild turkeys.

Best tip is to understand that most fruit trees require some kind of cross pollination from the same fruit but different varieties. We have apples but varieties Honey Crisp, wolf, golden delicious, Fuji, cortland. If u just have one apple or one pear tree it most likely won’t fruit.

I think it’s just a really old variety of wild pear. It hasn’t fruited much even after the pruning, I think it needs more cross pollination from another pear variety. The pears are small and green last year it only gave a few fruits. I’ve planted 2 more pear trees close by but they’re still young so maybe a few more years they’ll help cross pollinate.

Cool! Keeping my fingers crossed for those fat red ones tho!

@@deboraharmstrong3002 in the orchard we’ve planted Bartlet, Anjou and Flemish Beauty pears.

Always good to hear folks helping to grow our channel for so long from the beginning, thank you. Even when I look back at what we've accomplished it's amazing, but imagine where we'll be in the future. The cats will be fine, they have my workshop which is now the cat house and the protected outdoor catio area plus inside the cat house we have a heated tent that fits 4 cats and I'm waiting for another one on order so they'll be nice and toasty on those frigid nights. But honestly most times they only go in the tent for a warm up and then they go out. That's exactly what I intended for this much longer episode to be...a stress reliever (for me AND the viewers lol)

Yeah it’s like our own piece of paradise.

Cartoons, books, movies…the possibilities are endless lol. 🍻

Oh yeah of course we both still work for a living. The farm business doesn’t bring in near enough to be sustainable yet not too mention all the startup costs.

We keep 3 roos, MJ, Big Red & Elvis. 3 different breeds. I find the hens are actually happier too. Roosters allow us to breed and hatch our own chicks for sale, meat chicks and fertile hatching eggs for sale. Roosters will also defend their flock when free ranging which I'll hopefully build my setup this summer.
