The Harsh Reality Of Farming In The Victorian Era | Victorian Farm | All Out History 

If no woman were around a men did the job. I want to go back to the olden days where a woman would be put in the stocks simply for talking back. I miss those days

@@AK-dw8jo Who do you think did the mens work when men weren't around? That's right, women. STFU and go back to your basement.

@@genera1013 😂 get a life.

It's overlooked by society, never by good people.

It's literally the most complex and tedious jobs that are always given to women. More people should be forced to watch shows like this lol

You are absolutely correct.

Honestly love that they do that, makes it feel so much more real.

I LOVE how they included so much of the preparation as well. Rather than replacing the range, cleaning the house, clearing the chimney BEFORE production, we get to see how the cottage fared after 50 years. It would have been so much more polished if they had done all the repairs and restored the home THEN started filming with them walking into a perfectly restored cottage to start their year. They made the right decision for sure. It's incredible....im sure you are absolutely right about the unseen workers in this documentary. They did a fantastic job.

That living history is super important to not lose the details in processes.

My grandmother said that the washing machine did more to liberate women than the vote ever could have! She was quite funny about the innovations she saw take place during the 20th century. She really liked her wringer washing machine and thought the automatic machines were an incredible waste of soap and water.

@@earlnut I have to agree with the freedom aspect of beig able to plop your clothes in and go! How lazy i feel whe i cant be bothered to pulll the clothes from the dryer right away, my mom would stand there and pull out piece by piece letting it dry and roll as she carefully folded each item.

I agree on how we romanticize a "simple" life. But a simple life rarely means an 'easy' life, we got to remember that.

But there are an increasing number of people who are turning their backs on the modern life, the city life and going back to our ancestors ways of doing things as much as possible, raising their own x food, veggies, herbs raising food animals, sheep for wool for clothing, digging a well…. Using solar power or hydro electrical power for the electricity needed….. I’ve heard it called off grid or homesteaders .

@@gianna5869 I put my clothes in a plastic bend then put in the bathroom tub then add water and laundry detergent I wait for an hour then I take my clothes out squeeze it and lay it out to dry. 🙂

| am sick in bed as well, I will definately going to watch those after this! Thank you for the recommandation :D

My turn to be sick, and watch The Farm series. Hope everyone is feeling better!

@@jeepstergal4043 I hope you will feel better soon. All the best

It's even better if you eat magic mushrooms 😋

@@MargaritaMagdalena, 😂🤣

I agree😊.

Oh I agree i just found this and I'm looking for any i can get with the 3

Please share if you know of ways to see all of theirs

Fantastic program !! Boy they had to work so very hard at everything that they do !! Am Blessed to be in this generation !!! Such an amazing program . Thank You !!!

not sure what happened to tom

I love these kind thank you for posting this .God bless you to be able to to do this.

growing up, my mom eventually as a guilder(?) around Wessex over there found it harder and harder to practice her craft (her, e.g., spinning wheel broke? she'd had to score herself a blacksmith who still plied the trade as during William-Shakespeare times..etc., etc.), such that now long resettled on Corporateria's Isle of Montreal it has become interesting to see how *!wholesomely!* a forge down in the Old Port here has been fondly kindled -- the spiritedness revealed by the promos is what happens to be ringing bells by harking back to cozily tempered living 🍸 however, these actors -- more like _marionettes_ -- literally make me puke :brrrRrr: I helped mom with laundry or carding or dad with pottery or lace; we had no TV, no phone, no fridge, etc., etc.; and so this CORPORATEERED gushiness is wretching as far as reconciling alongside my FOND memories could ever go . . . :pfFt:

oof! I immediately broke into tears after this (patient) spinner had rummaged around her fleece samples for the 2nd time to pluck some wool from for me to sniff, because it smelled just like the untreated fleeces that got individually shipped to our cottage over there: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BBJ07-13-oQ.html I'm still tucking that sample she gave me for safekeeping 🍸

There are villagers living like this and homesteaders. NHK Japan, Japanology, and Insider Business So Expensive show people doing traditional and hand crafts.

Yes, it's so lovely.

My family on my father's side can be traced back to 1276. We have a huge old book in the town where our ancestors first came to this European country and it has names, dates, and other information about our ancestors up to my siblings and myself. On my mom's side they unfortunately lost everything in WWII when their castle was bombed. So much history and knowledge has been lost in wars.

I dont doubt that he was anticipating the ram's first introduction to the ewes as much or more than the ram itself. The pride in his voice as the ram struts to the herd is intoxicating.

@@michaelwebster3124 you're projecting, man.🤣🤣🤣

@@theCosmicQueen In what way?

He is so fast at his work aswell. Girls barely noticed 😜

He’s creepy to me.

If I had professors start the semester with "here's proof I lived this for a full year as they did" i wouldn't miss a class, pay attention and ask tons of questions.

I've had too many professors who apparently find joy in tormenting their students. Or are clearly incompetent and undeserving of their position and title. It's very frustrating.

@@Derek-no8fu quite rude, aren't you?

@@lacrosseman02 I've met that kind. They love blaming others but always ready to reap the rewards for themselves.

Me too! If only they were as pro-active as she is. She seems the exception rather than the rule. I'm talking from my life as a college student - personal experience, not data - so take it with a grain of salt.

Schrute Farm welcomes all

It woudl be cool

a week? I want to experience a full season if not more like this, would be amazing. Learn everything most modern people don't know about.

It would be AMAZING

Oh wow! What a great idea! Sign me up!👍🏻

I was thinking the same thing! Lol.

I think we're lucky to live in a world where a lot of this tedious labor can be automated by large machines. What I really think I feel is how satisfying doing something so difficult must feel and how that's probably lost in today's age.

Ironically right here in America there’s still plenty of farms and ranches that have to do most of these things daily. I know because I’m one of them😂

@@fyr3st0rm65 it’s not luck at all the way people are now is deluded lazy and without skills and talent. The literal definition of dependent and consumer.

Ain’t that the truth!

@Meaghan Symes he was in his 90s when he died and he was with his family when he passed. His two sons are now running the Acton estate. He was born there and died there and is buried in the Family Cemetery by his parents.

@@sadiekincaid5310what a life!

im so jealous how can i be you?

@@hollygarfield123 I started 30 years ago planting vegetables in the landscaping around my parents pool in the backyard :) Its a whole life-long journey and you can choose just exactly how self-sufficient you want to be and take either one or two giant steps to get there or a million tiny steps along the way!

@@karimonsterDo you have a RU-vid channel or something where you share your homesteading? I have a feeling it would be really interesting!

But who can give up that time? I mean I guess I would if the money was right but nah

they do it on purpose. historical interest. they have a LOT of old historic houses there and someone has to tend the antique stuff as well. they do get paid.

Because where modernists think themselves entitled, they will slowly unwound and forget blueprints of extremely important everyday pieces that they now pick up at the grocery store or supermarket. They think they don't need it. People today don't know how the pyramids were made. Historians make sure we don't loose our traits.

that is a man who truly enjoys his trade 😂

Thank you for these timestamps! Very interesting subjects

That sounds fascinating!

I thought she said "oh, flip an egg!". Lol

If you like this one, go find the channel "Absolute History". Its where this video is originally from, and they have WAY more.

I am from the US too. I agree with Violent on Absolute History.

I am 43 on the 11th, so in 2 days, and she is my new idol after watching this lol! So you are not alone, she is incredible! They all did a fantastic job playing the parts of Victorian farmers. I am from right outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and I found this fascinating. Ruth is incredibly knowledgeable, she really is a joy to watch.

@@floursandroses Happy Birthday!!!

Thank you! Just saw this notification for some reason. It was a great day! Thanks again ❤️

I’m 42 in July and I feel the same! Ruth Goodman helped me appreciate homemaking and all the skills we women have had through the ages.

They took home economics out of most schools. They claim it's not viable.

My boyfriend's family home is about the same age. They had so much old stuff in storage there. Some of it was junk but other stuff was really cool. They have old title heaters and a toilet that is just an attached outhouse that hangs in the air. That pee smelling wooden toilet (not in use) is not something I'm going to miss when it's torn down

Same is true today!!!!!

Squaller? Think you wanted squalor.

My mother said they really didn’t feel much of the Depression because they lived in the country.

@@williamwilson6499 congrats

@@vermontnative5676 old hank Williams song lyrics lmao, but yes ofcourse the poor folks in the country who didn't buy or sell anything could've went the whole depression without knowing.

Ruth is so enthusiast!!

I would be shocked if that cider wasnt all acetic acid and basically vinegar to be honest, I am a professional Winemaker and even today we have a lot of issues with stuff getting into wines and with cleaning stuff so i cant imagine how it would be with no sanitary practices and with wild yeast back in those days. Must have been half or all vinegar.

Wowww. Thanks for that. You can be very proud of her and your heritage. We certainly have an easy life these days,but I feel that it's far more stressful.

your grandmother sounds like an amazing woman, what a blessing it must’ve been to know her.

Humans wouldn't be extinct. There's villagers, the amish, and homesteaders by choice. They'll always be people interested in survival, farming, and history. I do think people should learn some survival just in case. And get physical books on things like edible plants. Cause the internet is unreliable if the power goes out.

@@user-gu9yq5sj7c That is why I said brink of extinction, not completely extinct. This video has actually inspired me to start working on some primitive survival skills, just in case, you never know when or if you will end up needing them. My P.S.R is about a 1.6 but I will get there eventually.

The participants themselves are historians that are part of the research. It means they already know quite a bit about what was done before they go in, and then are able to really recreate the experience. It's really interesting to watch!

The woman is a historian. The two gentlemen are both archeologists.

They do one about the Tudor era too. It's really great.

@@spicylagato2919 Is it with the same people? They surely didn't actually spend an entire year on these farms. That's a lot of time out of someone's life to dedicate to something like this and being apart from their friends and family and all of that.

@@spicylagato2919 And the Edwardian era and the WWII era-ALL very informative. Lots of info on how to survive lean times.

Except now working folks have to support the welfare do nothing poor and the schemer rich.

She looks like Victoria !

simplicity at is best.i could live like this.,but old 11B's appreciate any creature comfort.

😊😊😊😊😊

You can compare this with the Edwardian Farm series the team made. And also the Wartime Farm series. About WW2. A time wich my 96 years old father can relate to. As in extreme hardship. In an occupied country (Norway), where lots of elderly people starved to death. They had food coupons, only the grocers ran short of supplies ever so often. Like for Christmas 1944, the meat ration was 250 grammes of dry horse mince. My dad didn't get any for himself and his grandmother (born 1864), so had to snare thrushes. Love from Oslo 🇧🇻

Holmes County,Ohio has the largest Amish population. 50;000+ . Great place to visit .

Do you know the name of the apples they were gathering?

@@dreamerglinton5311 I believe they are crab apples but I could be wrong.

@@floursandroses thank you. I live in the Bahamas and have never seen those before....or heard of them. You were right I researched them. Have you any idea of the taste?

@@dreamerglinton5311 I used to eat them back in my tweens. They're quite tart and sour. Not sweet like a normal apple at all.

@@affsteak3530 ohhhh ok. Thank you for your reply.

That's the thing. People of all times had great hardships in life, but their joys are greater in different areas too. A fulfilling life can be found in any time and situation, and I've found that physically hard work makes for a good life balance.

@@chrisbolland5634 yes your right. And I believe they in many ways had it better. The family sat at the Supper table and spoke to and looked at each other. They played an instrument and sang on the front porch. They were interested in each other. But now they go into their own rooms with their cell phones. I feel technology is good for a lot of things but that the family has strayed apart. When I was a child we'd get real excited to go to the lake and fish a little. But Momma always made a large picnic. And somehow food taste better in the fresh air. Well I could go on and on. I have found the simple things are still the best things. But I am always drawn to these older time shows. I believe because they're more meaningful.

@@Marycedarcreek Have any of those things gone away though? Just because not everyone does them doesn't mean you can't. Supper tables and instruments and picnic tables all still exist, after all.

@@vadalia3860 yes, they still exist. That is why I collect antique crocks, antique butter crocks. Antique ice cream dippers. I could go on and on. And I use them. My mother didn't like everybody always sitting around the t.v. so she limited it. Of course as a kid I didn't like it. Now I see why. Now I liked this show. Shows that are heart felt scripts. Not shows just based on vanity. There is a bad agenda in some shows and good in others. There is good and bad almost everywhere because both exist. So everybody can choose for himself. So, I know what makes me feel good. And this type of programming I like.

@@Marycedarcreek I agree with you. I was born in the late 70's and raised in the 80's and early 90's. Before cellular phones were in teens hands.I had a second phone line put in my bedroom from my parents for my 16th birthday. Which I thought was the coolest thing in the world. I have 3 children aged 27, 23, and 19. I also have 4 grandchildren, a 5 yr old boy, 2 yr old twin girls, and a 2 month old baby boy. I wish they has gotten to experience the same world I had. Without every moment of your life spent on social media platforms. It the worry that any mistake, no matter how small, could be posted for the world to see. The pure freedom of playing outside with their friends. I wish they got to see that people didn't always hate one another. They believe people have always been like this but that isn't true. It was a wonderful time to grow up in. Technology is wonderful and it has so many huge advantages. Especially in healthcare and science. Unfortunately, in some ways, it has caused people to forget how to properly interact and respect one another.

Ikr? Its so delicious!

Delicious when well prepared.

Main ingredient in head cheese . A type of sausage.

Ewer’e so funny ,,,baaaa ! 😂

Hehe I saw that.@@VagoniusThicket

@@Onlyoneway. No kidding? It would certainly reduce the nasty smell! I stand duly corrected. Thank you! Now, popping into more current times (and what appears to be the age-old “Turkey versus Man” conflict), you absolutely must Google “Ada County Sheriff’s Deputy vs Turkeys.” The body cam video had me giggling to no end having myself been the recipient of unwanted attention from sassy Tom Turkeys and angry Banty Roosters in my youth! That Deputy definitely lost the skirmish and was close to losing his pant legs on more than one occasion! He certainly had a wonderful laugh but knew when he was out maneuvered!

I'm 70 and distinctly remember my grandmother pouring hot water over chickens to make plucking easier. So 10 out of 10 for us on that one 😂

Luddites. But you are exactly right

I would love to see more of these series! I love this kind of stuff!

@@Cook-hb2nf They also have a Tudor farm and a Wartime farm series!

@@Cook-hb2nf They also made a documentary series about a castle that's being built in France, I think it was a 12 parter

@@doredam8919 Thanks! Love these guys

Yeah ,,that’s why the average life expectancy was 50 years.
