As an 80-year-old black man in Arizona you have been a saving grace for me sometimes when racism and just playing meanness people you've been that spot where I could go to and feel I'm just another person thank you for that I mean that's sincerely thank you very much God bless you!
I have no intentions to ever build or rebuild a tractor in my lifetime, but for some reason, I can't wait to watch you as you tinker on yours. Let's face it, I even enjoy watching you spread cow crap, so I guess I'm here for the long haul. Thanks for sharing your lives with us.
Pete - keep your videos the way they are now with a mix of farm work combined with some mechanical episodes. To create an entire 2nd channel for the mechanical seems like a lot of work to me and if viewers only want the farm work, they can just skip that episode or fast forward through a combined episode. I love your upbeat attitude when things don't go exactly as planned. Keep up the great work! 😀😀😀
Hi Pete and Hillary I enjoy your videos I grew up in Wisconsin I started working on my neighbors farm when I was 13 to age of 25 they were some of the happiest times of my life .Your videos take me back to that time.Thank You
Hi Pete. Thanks for another great video. The catch in your voice when you announced the future of your pig line of work and the look on your face when you did your taste test of the roasted pork both sum up, for me at least, what makes your reporting on farm life so unique. Honest, down to earth simple truths. Please carry on lad, for so many of us.
Amen Pete your important , the way your life is lead is something most don’t live , probably many remember what it was like when 5hey were young , very important we love your animals and your sense of humour , thank ,Pete and Hilary :-)❤️😊
I purchase Chaffhaye for my goats and mix with dry hay..the fermented Chaffhaye makes whole quantity a favorite. I live on an island in Alaska and don’t have option of creating my own hay but fortunately goats love brush and tree browsing as well and can survive in summer on this if needed. (They don’t …spoiled ) Our goats consumed about 8 Christmas trees that locals donated when they found out they loved them…we were specific that they were locally harvested and free of tinsel or other things. Their naked skeletons are on display in a grouping near road for everyone to see how much they were loved.
Pete, I can’t speak for anyone else, but your channel is different than any other I know. It’s like hanging out with a longtime, trusted friend and confidant. Someone you don’t want to just listen to, but actually hear. You are the type of person one just wants to hangout with on the porch shooting the sh!t or while puttering around doing all the chores because, when you’re around, it’s all a bit more meaningful and bit more fun. There is so much to learn from the farming, cooking, building, mechanics, terrible jokes and business but by adding to it the kind, deep, open-minded and open-hearted, often philosophical, discussion that is an ever present current is what I find sets your channel aside from the rest on it own unique path. I think that’s why it’s so hard to pinpoint exactly what one “wants” from the channel… because it’s you, a rare find. Really, I think that myself and many others need, but are missing, that type of person in there lives and feel comforted and calmed by having you around. Btw, don’t say I said it, but I think Hilary likes you.
Dear Pete, in the last few minutes of today’s video, I think you FINALLY began to scratch the surface of how……important you are to so many of us, although you failed miserably, lol. You are important. Your spirit, comments on life, calmness, fortitude, humor, humanity, helpful ideas, etc. are so needed. Really, beyond needed, beyond important. No one can take your place. I often feel like such a “taker” because of what I/we get from you but have no way to give back. You bless us. Thank you, Pete!!
You understood correctly and I love watching and listening to you explain your day . Watching you fix your equipment an go into detail about the process. Hope you continue for as long as it it brings you as much joy as it does for others.
This was very well stated. You are a pressure relief and for me a glimpse of how the world should be: working together, working with the land, respect and friendship.
Hey Pete, I’m only in my 30’s, but some day I’d love to have a smaller scale farm. Your videos have made me believe I can actually pull it off! I have a bunch of older equipment I’ve picked up cheap an have been slowly working on each one. I can honestly say because of your videos I have gained some confidence in working on them. Let the haters hate, and god bless!
Im not gonna lie, I got a little teary eyed listening to your monologue at the end. Hope you keep making honest and heart felt videos displaying the peaceful, and simple farm life. Thank you.
I don't know about anyone else that watches your videos but for me you make me smile a lot in these times there is not a lot to smile about. Your calmness, dedication to your work means a lot I am sure to many viewers. Just keep doing what makes you happy. I'll just follow along.
Turn your gaze to Jesus Christ, put your faith and trust in him instead of this fallen/broken world, grasp onto the hope of redemption from sin and the gift of eternal life he offers. Then you will have much to smile about all throughout your days, throughout the rest of your life here on earth, as you are filled with the peace and joy of the Lord. God bless!
Pete, I am 70, a retired engineer living in north Florida. I am very fortunate that I have a great family and I had a great career. I am very grateful for both my family and my career. I really enjoy your channel, especially your relationship with your animals, the tractor restorations, and your interaction with your wife and family. I follow over 120 channels around the world and your channel is in my "Top Ten" favorites. Regarding the negative feedback, treat those comments like water on a duck's back. There will always be folks who have different views and opinions. You are a hard worker and have the unique talent to teach - enjoy both as life is to short. Take care and thanks....
Pete why people love your videos is you never go on about the weather. When you are stressed you never show it. Never swear I have never heard a bad word from you. We all love farming but can’t all have one so it’s great to watch you. Please keep them coming and farm your way. 🚜🐮
Pete I am, a pastor and small scale goat rancher here in North Alabama. Your videos are my go to for reassurance that I am not alone in keeping my familes hsitory of small scale self sufficient farming alive. We raise our own chickens and beef cows as well. You are my pressure relief from the stress of being a pastor as well. I think that most of the people you have the greatest impact on rarely comments because we are just happy to have you be a part of our lives. I know the mental impact of negativity and its hard. Know this, for every nagging negative person there seems to be hundreds that are content to watch, learn, be entertained and to just have your family be a part of our families for a few moments a week. Please continue with your videos, they mean alot to me. Thank you for sharing with us. God bless you
Pete, you "owe" no one, what you have given me is a gift. You share things and animals I can no longer do or go enjoy. You enjoy it for me. I smile and laugh, enjoy your cows, and you and your wife. She is a treasure. The years go so fast. Do what is best for you and yours in your life. I thank you.
Pete, you are wise beyond your years. Common sense and wisdom is so lacking in todays life. Just listening to your thoughts are so refreshing. Keep up the good work.
As a person who is homebound because of chronic illness with the inability to drive or lack of funds to actually get out, I find your channel so important to me. I love learning new things about living on a farm. Your sense of humor, sharing of knowledge and experiences, and the enjoyment of imagining I’m living for the moment on a farm truly enriches my life and washes away some moments of my lonely, long days. Thank you, Pete, and Hillary, for helping me enjoy life and not be so lonely. Words just can’t express my true appreciation. ♥️
As one who lives in a big city suburb surrounded by congested freeways and gunfire, your channel is much appreciated. Thanks Pete and Hillary! Love that cutie Ezra!!! 🐕💕
I love your videos. Even my dementia mom loves “Pete”. Your voice is soothing and your animals are so fun to see grow and live. Please keep your videos going. Even the tractor builds are interesting even if I don’t understand it all. Love you Pete and Hillary.
Pete and Hillary your channel here on RU-vid is a wonderful respite to me away from the lunacy that increasingly pervades our greater society. It never fails to give my spirit a little lift when I see that you have put out a new video. I retired from a public health and emergency services career several years ago and now manage my farm which has been in my family for 150 years. I understand your connection to the land of your ancestors and I admire the responsible, thoughtfull way you tend your land and your animals. I persoanlly think you and your lovely wife are wonderful ambassadors for the family farm community. I am so glad you received such overwhelmingly good feedback from your previous video. Keep them coming friend. You are making a positive difference in this world!
Pete I discovered your site about 16 months ago. I was recovering from heart bypass surgery. Little did I know that in the months that followed I would overcome a heart stent procedure, COVID and now battling bladder cancer. Through it all I watched and listened and learned. Your videos got me through tough times. It gave me something to look forward to. But more importantly your humble and honest messages provided me comfort. Thank you. By the way I worked in healthcare for many years. I’m still amazed Hillary left ICU to work on the farm. What a transition. God Bless you Pete, Hillary and kids. 🙏🏻
Thank you Pete and Hillary for sharing your life with me over the internet. I have cancer, I have been battling it for about 7years now. My dream has always been to be a farmer and it was taken from me due to unfortunate events out of my control. So I adjusted my goal to get back into farming some how, the result is flexible and the goal is broad. I want to raise cattle again, even if just a small herd. I want to have enough beef for my family, to sell, and to donate some back into the community every year. I feel donating some back into the community is essential after I was humbled by cancer.
You are an excellent teacher! No matter which way you change things on your channel I'll always be watching! Being disabled and unable to enjoy life the way I used to, I've turned to u tube and it's the best choice I've ever made! And your part of that enjoyment! I watch channels all of the world, craftsmanship, artists, off grid, farming, Video's have shown me so many amazing sights and beautiful scenery I would never have the opportunity to see! I have not watched tv in 4yrs, Don't miss it! Thank you for being you!!
You have no idea what a blessing you are. My uncle was an “old school” farmer, who loved what he did. As a child, my cousins & I took turns sitting on his lap, driving his Farmall tractor, slopping hogs, milking his cow & gathering eggs. Watching you reminds me of the idyllic childhood we had. I’m now a retired pastor. It didn’t take long to discover that every congregation had someone with the “gift” of discouragement. Don’t let the naysayers “steal” the joy you have in your work. To quote the African American Spiritual, “Ain’t gonna let nobody turn me ‘round.” As my uncle would say, “Stay hitched to the plow.” Galatians 6:17
Pete, you have no idea how much you and your wife have affected my life. Not only in the knowledge you provide in your videos,but in the way you live your lives. It’s nice to be able to watch your videos and learn things and not have to worry about clickbait and promotional advertisements put forth by most RU-vidrs. We can tell it’s all from the heart. You are my favorite on RU-vid and I watch many channels. Keep doing what you are doing. It is much appreciated.
Hey it's Awesome to see small farmers having influence on many people most of us city forks never have the connection to the land of farming and outreach through the internet has made so many see the farmers side of life Thanks for your sacrifice for us to enjoy the food we eat every day and May God Always Bless our Farmers 😊Amen
Mr. Pete, im in a wheelchair, my baby brother is legally blind. Both injured at 15 two years apart. I was shot and he had a stroke. Your videos inspire us to do what we love which is to mess with tractors. We both love your videos and watch every one of them. We have competitions to see who watches them first and remind one another "hey pete posted a video" i hope this little message is able to convey just how much we love your videos. Regardless of what you post we will watch. Thank you Mr. Pete.
Morning Pete. I was sitting in my backyard on Monday here in Cleveland, most likely when you were making this video. What a GLORIOUS day it was. Glad to see you first thing this morning. Have a fantastic day sir!!!!!! You are someone who puts smiles on MANY faces and a pleasure to learn from.
Pete, nearly half a million subscribers really enjoy what you do here is incredible. I am very grateful I found you and get to watch your electric fence antics and those Dad jokes to brighten my day. Thank you Pete! You are doing such great things here!
Pete, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate what you do on RU-vid. I enjoy everything you cover from haying, working with animals, mechanical work, painting, household, chores, cooking, farmers market, decision-making process, family, dad, jokes, economics of small farms, or philosophy. All of it well done interesting. Thank you.
Bonjour Pete J'espère que vous pourrez me lire/traduire. J'ai 28 ans, et suis paysan, éleveur au Pays-Basque, entre la France et l'Espagne. 20 vaches, 40 moutons, 250 poules, quelques cochons, et un grand verger. J'adore vos vidéos, et la ferme que vous avez bâti avec votre femme. Vous voir dans mon fil d'actualité RU-vid après une journée éprouvante est toujours un profond bonheur. Vous êtes, vous et votre femme, des mentors, bien au delà des frontières de votre pays. Tant que vous y trouvez du plaisir, continuez. Continuez pour des gens comme moi, qui trouvent en vous, par ces videos, le voisin, l'aîné, le mentor, qu'ils auraient aimé avoir au près d'eux. Longue et heureuse vie à vous. See you next Time
Merci pour votre français facile à comprendre. J'apprends le français comme langue seconde. Je suis ravie de l'avoir compris ! Une ferme prospère à vous !
I'm 68 yrs old, watching your video today reminded me the good feeling I got cleaning up areas and how nice it looks when done. I'm retired now so I spend time keeping the farm kept up. Working on line fences, removing brush and timing trees. I'll be so happy if you continue your repair videos, I'll never be to old to learn something that works better than the way I do things. god bless.
Pete, I've just loved the walk you take us on every week. Serenity, calm, humor, peacefulness of your day. Love to see just your every day, and your calm attitude as you approach your problems, and solving them. I look forward to your videos for those reasons. You asked us what we want to see, but the question is actually is "what do you, want to show us" that's the question from us. I think your doing a great job of it so far. The weird comments you get...well that's apart of presenting and feed back. Good and bad. Think of them as grains of Salt, my dad used to say. some comments overseen are disheartening. Most are positive. So look at the positive side, put water on the rest. Wash the bad things aside. Then continue your walk, just don't forget to take us with ya. Thanks
Pete, I live in an urban area and I want you to know that your insight on life has made a huge impact on me. I have learned so much about the importance of agriculture. Because of you, I now buy meat, eggs, and vegetables at the local farmer’s market - and the food tastes so much better. As a compliment, I say you are like the Mr Rogers for grown ups - you teach us important lessons while being completely entertaining. Keep up the great work. Your viewers appreciate you more than you’ll ever know.
Pete…. This is Don from “Bullard Ranch”, I switched to Straight Talk and can’t seem to merge my channel… but, brother, you inspire me and have taught me soooooo much, I’d love to meet you one day and bring you one of our shirts, you are definitely a teacher of men. Thank you for what you do, my fellow brother.
Pete You are more important than you actually know. I love your videos, farming, and tractor refurbishment. Your attitude and your calmness. Thank you for the ability to have a peek into you and your families lives. Have a great day. I always look forward to seeing your videos. Much respect, sir.
😂Pete and Hillary, I grew up on a mixed farm in northern Canada much like yours. We used old machinery that we fixed ourselves like you. We sold our milk in town for income. Now 60 yrs later, I live my farming roots vicariously through your videos. From BC, Canada I thank you from the bottom of my heart and encourage you to continue your good work!!!
Having grown up on a farm I so enjoy watching your channel. You remind me of my dad in the fact that, like you, he had and used tractors that were aged❤ He was a mechanic so he was able to fix whatever needed fixing! Thank you for sharing your life with those of us who enjoy and appreciate your way of life and how you choose to live it❤
Hi! I watch your videos with my husband and we enjoy them tremendously. You’re a calm voice in a world of crazy and we thank you. We will be retiring to our “few acres” soon and we are looking forward to watching your garden project. Please keep doing what you do and the way you do it. You have a wonderful and unique gift. Thank you so very much and your wonderful wife too. 💯❤️🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I'm so grateful to you and I couldn't be happier with your decision to continue with your videos. You are very understanding as to how you help so many of us. You nailed it right on the head. Thank you again, and thank you to all of the other viewers that have praised you for what you do for us. You are truly a treasure to this world. We need more people on this planet like you. I will be with you as long as I possibly can. May God bless you and your family with the best. See you later.
Pete, love that smile! Your quiet demeanor, zest for life, love of family and farm give me a warm feeling of hope. You are a great teacher. Thank you for spending your time with me. Blessings to you and Hilary ❤
Pete, remember that you cant see all the downvotes on negative comments. And unfortunately, neither can the trolls that posted them. The vast majority of us love and support your content. You’re a much needed voice of reason right now. Thank you for doing what you do.
Pete, I know exactly how you feel with the negative, and many times petty, comments that come across on your videos. I took over my Mom's RU-vid channel after she passed in 2020. She cared deeply for her followers who were effuse with support while she battled the cancer that eventually took her life. Mom asked me to keep the channel up and to add to it with my own (poor) attempts at cooking. I've since added my experiences returning to the world of flying commercial aircraft and even some thoughts on Bible verses I read. Comments I receive are mostly encouraging, but there are the occasional negative ones saying "I'll never replace my mother." Why would I want to? I point out that they're free to watch Mom's old videos and avoid mine to their hearts' content, but to leave the negativeness out. Those that persist get forever-blocked. Simple as that. To quote Michael Caine in "The Dark Knight," "...some people just want to watch the world burn." They're contrarians who live for tearing others down to make themselves feel better. Not worth the time to deal with them. What you do has encouraged me and fueled my eventual dream of having a "Gentleman's Farm" where I'll be free to work all my little projects that are constantly bouncing around in my head. Keep it up, Pete. You're a joy to watch. Steve
Thank you Steve. It's always nice to hear from others that experience things from the other side of the camera. Life's too short to let the malcontents have free reign. Best of luck to you.
Hi Pete, my husband and I discovered your channel over a year ago. Although we have never commented before, we look so forward to seeing your videos. We have gone back and watched most all of your videos. Your humor, words of wisdom, and calmness are so important in today's trauma-filled environment. I grew up on a small farm in Missouri (we now live in Phoenix, AZ) and seeing your videos reminds me of a lot of pleasant memories. We love the animals and seeing all the tasks performed on the farm. We watch the tractor videos and are totally amazed at your knowledge! We were quite sad when we thought that you might be winding down and were delighted to hear that you plan on continuing! Thanks for your positive spirit. You are a blessing to us and so many others.
You are by far the best channel to watch on RU-vid. Wait for your videos to come out each week. I love watching you work on your old farm it just the way I always would love to live but you’re doing great and I’m gonna watch you every week. Keep up the good work.
I derive immense joy from perusing the comments, witnessing the appreciation viewers express for your channel. Like countless others who follow A Few Acres Farm, I share the sentiment. The prospect of dedicating a week as a volunteer on your farm, immersing myself in the work, greatly appeals to me. Your unwavering commitment to your endeavors has a profound and positive influence on our lives. Sincere gratitude to both Pete and Hillary.
Thank you for your efforts and this channel. As I get older, and am stuck in the city, missing the country life, you give me moments each week of farm life that heals my soul.
Hi Pete! If you’d like one last ditch effort on the pigs: move the boar away from sow for about a month, far enough away they can’t hear each other. Then wait until she comes into heat and reintroduce Billy. The old farmers near me that grew hogs actually swapped boars, my uncle explained to me that because pigs are so social and intelligent it’s hard for them to breed with sows they recognize and are familiar with. It’s an instinct to prevent inbreeding. Not sure if it’s true but we never lacked for piglets!
I inherited some goats, and have an old billy that we were certain was past breeding. He is magnificent and was riding out his days as a lawn ornament. A neighbor gave us a billy that we were going to process, but he busted our gate and covered the does. Well ol' Willy got his mojo back, and re-covered the females and now we have seven kids that look like him. It took a bit of competition, but he is back in the game!
Well said, Pete-as always, in your beautiful, soft spoken, articulate way. A precious moment, with the chickens clucking in the background. Soothes my spirit in deep ways nothing else does. Thank you so much for all your many gifts, for sharing your place and your world with us. Sorry-sad about Billy.
Pete, please keep doing your videos as you do them now! I thoroughly enjoy the variation you put into them, I live in England, but I’ve been all over the world in my time, and as a retired person, I like your type of commentary on what you do. I’ve met people like you everywhere, keep up the good work
Perfect video; made my heart sing. Thank you Pete for sharing your life with us. I was so happy to see you smiling and relaxed. Spring is coming my friend. You may need a veggie plot.
As always, your videos, commentaries, and content speak volumes to who you are and what you believe in. Thank you for all you do and the effort you put into making this world a better place.
Pete I really enjoy your videos. Nothing like your video while having my coffee. This reminds me of my days as a kid on the farm. Spending time with the animals and watching my parents and the neighbors working together to harvest and trade with each other. A hand shake meant the same as your word. My parents taught me a deal is a deal and to always try to exceed what you had agreed to. Give it a 110%. We worked hard and played and had fun. Just like you most of the animals would follow us around and we knew they were there for food not just a pet. Please keep doing what you’re doing, it is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Pete, you are positively changing the lives of so many with simply sharing your experience and knowledge. Thank-you and please keep going as long as you can.
First thing this morning I turned on my TV to see if you have a new video. My heart feels much lighter because your video lifted me up as it always does. I look forward to seeing the tractor come together looking like new again. Pete, my dear husband has been ill for quite some time now mostly from age related symptoms. When he sits down to watch tv he always asks if Pete has anything. Thank you for what you do for us and especially for adding to his day. We love you, Betty in Michigan
Pete, my wife and I just started a small farm last year with cattle and have learned immense amounts from you! Every time we faced a new challenge there has always been one of your videos with knowledge and solutions. We truly appreciate you!
Pete I have watched all your videos and for me sitting here as a retired widower with a farming and engineering background, you put the "order back into a disordered world" that we now live in, and I for one thank you for all you do and share with us. Thanks from Scotland.
I discovered your channel about a year ago because of your tractor repair videos. At first I wasn't interested in the farming or every day life videos because I was only searching youtube for small engine (mainly chainsaw) repair videos but I noticed that eventually I started getting excited whenever I would see the blue dot signaling a new video was up and would (and still do) figure out when was going to be the best time to sit down and watch, I was finding the perfect time so I could savor your video. What you have brought to me is the calmness that I have missed in life. You and Hilary really have brought me back to feeling good again. Your positive nature, it's not contrived, it's not overblown, it's not in you face passive aggressive, it's just natural and honest. Thank you.
You are very inspiring, you have helped my drive my passion to start my farm here in Chenango forks, as well as sharing it on RU-vid. After meeting you, eating your steaks, I was sold on the lifestyle. Currently have 2 pigs that are scheduled to be butchered where you go. I found them because of you and I found some purpose in life along the way. I’m only a few months into this journey but it certainly has been a fun adventure. Building from scratch is a challenge, but challenges build character and I feel that is something most people as young as I am lack. Thank you for what you do.
You do a great job with your videos. It’s always so much fun to see the cattle and the pigs and the chickens and it’s amazing way to see how you guys have a nice peaceful life and how to see what you guys do keep up with all the great videos.
Pete, I found your channel because of your dexter cattle videos. I've stayed for something far greater. This is what you mean to me. I'm the youngest in my family. Most of the people that I looked up to growing up passed when I was a child or my early teens. I lost my dad when I was 18, he was only 53. That was 20 years ago. My mother remarried, and my step dad is a very good man, but he doesn't have the same interests that my father and grandfather had. You remind me so much of what I've lost. Your ability to do whatever you put your mind to. Your desire to learn new things and to share that with others. Your love for the land and how that love is displayed in your care of it. Your sense of reason when all else is going crazy. That was my dad. You have given me more than you know just by being here. As always, thank you!
Thank you Pete for continuing your channel. You, your family and farm are important to us. We are grateful for you sharing a part of your life with us. I hope this spring is a wonderful new beginning for you and the farm. That roast looks good.🐷 🙂
Pete, your honesty, heart, and even your humor are what makes your videos so great. We need alot more of those qualities in all our lives, today more than ever. For me personally I grew up in your area. I left there at 21, 63 now, for work in a big city. Your videos take me back to the fun days on my grandfather's farm, and you remind me of the quality of the people back then. While I'm watching your videos I can feel the tension of the day disappear, replaced by calm. You be you, and keep up the great work.
I traveled to 13 countries across three continents and 11 US states last year. Whenever I had Internet, I made sure to catch up on your channel. No matter what I was doing, I made certain to find out how you were doing. You do matter. Thank you. 😊
Thank you Pete,I hope you have a great night. Also you are an important person in a lot of our lives.I personally have learned a lot from you.I bet that roast tasted delicious.
It has always been difficult for me to put into words what I see, what I feel, what I believe...so I am thankful to hear you speaking about the comments you received because I can say, "Yes, that is how I feel. That is what your channel gives me." I am very thankful to the folks out there who shared with you as you share with us. A calm place to visit is so important. Just who you are means so much to me and inspires me to keep keeping on. I am so thankful to be out of the everyday job market dealing with all of the stress. You wouldn't believe that a public library could be stressful but supervising anyone is stressful. I miss the wonderful people but not all of the rules and the b.s. that I was supposed to enforce daily. Watching today has reminded me of my "escape" and I am thankful for my little corner of sanity and the humanity that I experience through your channel. Thank you so much.
You are one of the few channels I thoroughly enjoy. The farm life is so peaceful to watch. My daily grind is so stressful. This channel is a breath of fresh air. Keep doing exactly what you are doing please it's appreciated!
What you and your wife do for me is grounding. I grew up with my Grandparents a lot....in the busy years of life....we lose that grounding. The very roots we need in our daily lives to draw strength from is refreshed with your videos! ❤ You all bring back the memories, values and strength that was so important in our lives. Thank you so very much.
Hey Pete, This week while replacing fence posts, your comments on high dollar fencing really rang true with me. My morning coffee with you is always fun and frequently inspiring. Yes, what we do is to us mundane, but others find it enjoyable. Personally it demonstrates to me the difference in timing between the gulf coast and New England. Keep up the good work.
I think your decision is right on. REALLY appreciate that you decided to stay. Just remember, all of the whiners, cry babies and CRITICS are probably outnumbered a couple hundred thousand to one. Plus it's not just what you teach for me. I grew up on farms. A whole bunch of it is you(r) calm, controlled and easy going demeanor. At least it is for me. Love your videos and your channel Pete. Thank you. 👍👍👍 Oh yeah, I almost forgot. You're funny too! 3:00 🤣🤣
Well, I think I've said it before, but I'll say it again, just in case. Pete, you know how you relate to Joel? Well that's about how my home relates to you. We won't do everything you do because our situation is different, but a lot of the bedrock of how we operate, plan to operate, and plan to expand have been because of Just A Few Acres Farm. You've also stayed consistent and down to earth, with none of this, "to get started, build a $100,000 barn...", and that's something we appreciates about 'ya. I'm realizing that you're also the reason I've become addicted to smoking meats! I would love to have a repository of the sections of your videos where you cook different meats on the grill and how you do it. I have your "Somehow We Survived" video saved for your chop cook times. I know peace is what I'm after, and I'm certain I'm not the only one that watches because I'm striving for my family to reach a level of peace similar to yours, so it doesn't really matter what type of video you post up to us because it's all motivation. Thank you for continuing to share a piece of your peace with us, and that includes the turmoil too! My worst days working the land is still better than the time I'm tied to the day job, so I know where I need to go. You and your channel have been a big part of providing some nudges in the right direction. Oh, and I can understand the petty comments getting to you, but I've found the best thing to do is to laugh at 'em (or rant to myself)!
Mr. Pete we love and respect you and family, that's for sure for me at least 👍, and it sounds like you have seen that you help people just by your actions, and you we placed here for a reason, and with the world being so f$cked up you give us a small piece of peace and we thank you for it 😎👍, God bless you and your family and Mr. Pete Thank you for what you do, have a good one Sir 😎👍
It’s always the same. The few bad apples spoil the barrel. I’m sat here smiling that you are continuing YOU. I can’t watch you videos when I’m in a hurry. I have to sit and take it in slowly to make the enjoyment last. Keep it up. Thank you. 🙏
I'm so glad to hear that you intend to keep on the path you have been following with the channel. You give so many people a chance to vicariously experience farm life through the lens of your camera. As I finish watching your latest video, I begin wondering what you will present in the next. Thanks for sharing a slice of your life with us. Oh, I also want to express my dismay that Billy has not become the stud that we all expected. Maybe someday the veterinary scientists will develop a porcine variant of Viagra that will help guys like Billy.
Hey Pete been following you all since Covid and really love your channel, you are such an inspiration to the farming community, I’m so glad you have decided to continue on your journey, can’t wait to see what the future brings, keep on farming.
Pete, just want to say that your last video on this topic had me down because you seemed down. I'm glad you have realized the value of what you do. Not just the care of your farm and family, but as you clearly stated, the mental well being of those of us who watch and follow you. So, I believe that what you are doing IS meaningful and am glad that you have come to see that. I have been a fan for a long time. I will continue. Ignore the negative Nellies and embrace your true following. God Bless.
In England, Christmas Trees in coastal areas are used to form the foundations of dunes. They allow a rapid accumulation of sand, airborne and from the tides. The trees provide protection against coastal erosion for decades. Far more useful than a spectacular fire each New Year!
Hi Pete. I am so pleased you had such feedback on your site, its purpose and meaning to so many people. You have nearly 450k subscribers, so many "Likes" and viewings, Why? Because you are liked, admired, engaging and do what you do so well without "Bull". You just didn't realise you are a mentor to so many people as well as an instigator or reflection on purpose of life. Those comments that criticise your processes, methods etc are irrelevant and quite frankly rude and ignorant, there is a fine line between constructive advice and pickiness. The vast majority of viewers will watch and not comment because they are happy with what you do, how you do it and explain why etc. I am so pleased you seem to be in a better place, not just for you but for all of us viewers who really rely and enjoy learning from you.
Hi mate I went to my sans house on the weekend and he was showing me this real expensive meat. cooker and all this fancy other so called things to make the meat taste better and cook better then I saw you cooking that pork belly just a real good bit of meat cooked simple and it looked delicious why does everything have to be complicated in today’s world didn’t have the heart to tell me san that the meat wasn’t all that good with all that fancy stuff would of much prefer to sit down and eat yours 😂
Pete, I started watching your channel, because of the genuine, honest, and educational person you are. I was forced to retire earlier than I had planned, due to mobility problems. I thought my life was over, and worried how I would get around. Watching your videos has taught me that no matter what life throws at me, I should always do my best and be thankful for what I have. You truly help more people than you will ever know, mostly because of your thoughtfulness, and caring for others. Please continue to post your videos, I know I appreciate each and every one of them, and you will never know how much good you have provided those of us who weren't sure tomorrow would come. Thank you Pete and Hilary.
As I've said before, Keep on keeping on & don't change anything! You guys bring not only some common sense to this world but a type of peace many of us long for & something I miss dearly living on the land. Cheers from Australia !
It's been about 18 months. Maybe more since the last time I watched your videos for no reason other than my own personal life. It's refreshing to come back and see, basically the same Chanel, just with an extra 350k followers. Don't change. And thankyou.
I so enjoy your videos. Your voice is so calm and soothing. The videos are my release. Just sit, relax, and absorb wisdom. Thanks again, Pete, for all you do for us. ❤
