Hi! I'm a farm wife, mama to two and coffee addict - raking my way through life on the farm, inviting you along. I believe all of our stories matter and that they all relate more than we think.
My husband, two children and I work and live on a beef cattle operation in Milton, NC on the Central NC/VA line. No two days are the same around here and I use this vlog to show the good, the bad, the hard and the rewarding we find in this life. If you like what you see, I'd love for you to subscribe and tell a friend who might enjoy, as well. This community is growing and I love interacting with you all. Farm hard, live well.

Well that remains to be seen until you've seen it all haha. But thank you! I hope so!
Greetings from the UK. My wife and I love your videos and all the hard work that you all do. We live on the Romney Marsh in Kent UK and all around us are farms. I think your living room where your son was helping his sister with her spelling was so cosy looking, just as we would like it. Your husband is like me in a lot of ways, hard working and just getting on with it. My wife grew up with cows here in Kent. Good luck to you all for the future, you are very nice people.
a moment with a Man and his dog. special, very special. thank you Mrs. B. for bringing back those memories of those end of the day moments with my dog.
your cheekiness and fun loving attitude is just so refreshing Thank You and you family for bringing a little joy to this world
I hope and pray that Lawrence tells you EVERY day just how beautiful you are
Thanks for sharing this , it was fun to be with you and your humor this weekend and your smile. Hubby with the dog was great.

Hi Meredith, thanks for the introduction of cooked Collards. Yes, I'd like to try them. Also, thanks for your Mom's recipe for Sweet Potatoe pie. Wow, the calories but it would be fun. Sounds like you had a great family Thanksgiving -- as we did here in (snowy) Minnesota.
Hi Dean! Glad y’all had a nice one! Stay warm
Hope you had a good Thanksgiving.I laughed when I saw your cookbook I have a twin to yours with cover off too. Put out many years ago by our local
Fire Co. filled with my mother in laws, aunts, cousins, friends and neighbors recipes it's my go to cookbook .I managed to buy 2 in great shape recently at a local antique mall and was so thrilled to find them so I could give one to each of my daughters.
Those cookbooks are invaluable!
A man and his dog ! Melted my ❤. I lost my best friend (dog) back in September. Of course she was the best dog ever.
Sorry to hear about the loss of your dog. It takes a long time to get over missing them. Mine has been gone for almost a year and I still miss her.
I took a picture of the recipes.
I see you crimp your pie crust the same way I do. lol
It’s taken years of practice!😅
Hi I recommend look up portuguse cale soup your family will love it somerset mass.Happy belated thanksgiving .
Happy belated to you and yours. I've got my mamas cookbook also lol same layout as yours.. ☺️
One of my favorite places is the piggly wiggly in siler city about 20 miles from the house but so worth it ! I worked for Winn-Dixie in school but we don't have one anymore. I love my squirrel fried and then put in a big cast iron skillet of milk gravy.
Grandma ,would make a small test pie with the extra pie fillings. ,I'm..
Smart!☺️
Good eats. Hope y’all had a great Thanksgiving, God bless y’all. 🙏🇺🇸🧡🙏🇺🇸🧡

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. All the best y'all.
My Thanksgiving fave other than dressing is Pumpkin pie!! Love me some good Pumpkin pie! I loved the collard cooking lesson, weather anyone else did or not!!
Smoked cured hocks w/mustard greens, always on thanksgiving! Course I lived outside Reidsville in the country, actually Bethany. A pinch of sugar made the greens delightful.
Happy Thanksgiving, as you know I have a lot to be thankful for this year, Bruce
looked like some good collard greens
Why is thanksgiving so important in america ?
It goes back to the first thanksgiving feast between the native Americans and first colonists that settled here.
This Farm Wife - Meredith Bernard The great Beginnings Of many nationalities
We nicknamed them Hoggly Woggly’s where I’m from
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving from Hope Mills NC
And a Happy Thanksgiving to you too, Meredith!
October 31,2023’. I love small town stores. I used to pick up the old thick glass pop bottles and sell them at our Piggly Wiggly for 10 cents a bottle. I like your Thanksgiving cooking. Thank you for sharing your recipe. I’m Praying God’s Blessings for you and your family 👍👍🙏🙏🇺🇸.
GREETINGS AGAIN FROM SOUTHERN INDIANA… 38 DEGREES TODAY…Absolutely love your opening with Bonnie sleeping and snoring. She’s so content. Got to get me a rescue dog.
Yum, Yum, Yum. Any greens are heaven with corn bread and turnips cooked with them. Sweet potato pie, my favorite with whipped cream. Blessed Thanksgiving to all your family. Love the church cookbooks. Sweet lady you are just the best.❤️
Eastern N.C Small town here. Lots of Piggly Wiggly in Eastern N.C.
Love your collards and sweet potato cooking, the proper Thanksgiving meal, thanks!
Even thought I live in a larger town years ago the Piggly Wiggly was the place to go for groceries. And, after I got into high school I even worked there!
Great video, Merdie... it totally captured the Thanksgiving feel. You do realize...your daughter is going to carry all this on...as have you. And let's face it...that says it all. ;)
Thanksgiving Dinner: turkey, stuffing (made w/ chicken gizzards), mashed potatoes, turkey gravy, homemade cranberry sauce, mixed vegetables, homemade buns, homemade pumpkin (w/ whipped cream) & pecan pies (w/ vanilla ice cream), punch, and what I call "PuPu Platter" .... pineapple rings, spiced apple rings, black & green olives, midget dill pickles, bread & butter pickles, carrot & celery sticks w/ veggie dip.
When I was young I delivered newspapers to our local country store .. on the edge of town .. one half of the store was dry goods and overalls and things and the other half was groceries. It had two shopping carts. There was an old park bench "indoors" hidden behind the high back ice cream cooler .. where guys used to sit and talk whilst waiting for their wives. In the center of the store, by the main counter, was one massive heating duct on the floor, a grated duct people walked across where I stood to warm up during my paper delivery. There were large rolls of craft paper along with a ball of white string on a spindle .. at the end of the counter for wrapping things ... and, I recall that during the summer, that park bench .. was moved outside in front of the store for the guys.
My Grandma Raby would make pumpkin, sweet potato, pecan, and chocolate pies for the holidays.
I sure do miss her and her pies. Happy Belated Thanksgiving to you and your family.
How can you NOT like PIGGLY WIGGLY. You can't even say the name without smiling
I am not knocking your pies, but I grew up on pumpkin and even squash pie. I am not crazy about squash itself but love squash pie.
The pies looked delicious.I always have likedvsweet potato pies better than pumpkin,I'm going to have to try my hand at baking some,someday.
My mom and them would fry the squirrels brains, they loved them. Not me🤪🤪🤪. How about y’all?
My grandfather was from Missouri and his sister used to make a bean pie tasted like pecan pie and a oatmeal pie both were delicious😋, :Lick the juice with the biscuit" (dip the biscuit in the juice) Then eat the biscuit "POTLICKER" 😃
My old family recipes read the same way---Sweet Milk--which means DON'T use Buttermilk. I think you would like the recipe I have for 7 week bran muffins. (that recipe uses buttermilk and can keep up to 7 weeks in the refrig before cooking).
Great video as always. Thank you for letting us have a look into your family's life. Merry Christmas from Texas and the HTH Ranch.
If i worked for yall , i would not get anything done for laughing at you, or with you ,,i can see what LB saw in you, the wife and i thought the pound cake was hilarious because she has done the same thing lol , THANKS AND GOD BLESS
I love my collards and sweet potatoe pie. We had this discussion at our Farm Bureau meeting. I couldn't believe how many people here in South West VA, had never ate collards. My granny called any milk that wasn't butter milk , sweet milk. My mouth watered watching this video. Thank you for keeping the old traditions. God Bless your family!!!!
Ok with a straight face, tell us you and Bonnie don't have those moments. That's what i thought. Lol
Oh yes smells. My Dad used Sea Breeze after shaving. I can catch a whift of that smell today. 50 yrs. later.🥰
There ain't nothing better than Piggly Wiggly, Collards and sweet Potato Pie. And I do have to say them there Pie's look delicious. Expert job on the Pie Crust too, LOL !
Labas vakaras. Nepamirškite kad sunkiai dirbate gali tu kalorijų trukti. 😉Labas jaunimas kaip laikotės 👍Geras šunelis myli tave. Eisi puikios formos kaip mama tikrai gražiai atrodai moki sipsotis kad ir sunku. Esat graži šeima miela matyti ačiū 🤗❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹👍👍
Glad your Thanksgiving was good, though I'm a lifelong Connecticut resident, I love collard greens, and sweet potato pie, , everything looked so scrumptious, I've never had squirrel dumplings, but I'm sure I'd love that too, and of course those oatmeal raisin sandwiches looked yummy too, I liked seeing what you whipped up, thanks for sharing a delicious video
Here in Western Kentucky the Piggly Wiggly has changed its name to Food Giant.The store Manager told me the same company owned both and also the Sureways.
Gotta love an attractive woman with a sexy voice, beautiful eyes and smile, and who also loves squirrel dumplings. I grew up hunting and eating squirrels and know how good they are with dumplings, fried, or just about any way you cook them.
decorations go up after dec 8 and come douw on jan 6 here ...............
Up here in WI, we usually weed-whack things that look like collard greens. I hope you had a Blessed Thanksgiving with your family.
Meredith, I owned one of those country stores in the middle of Hickory NC for 36 years, from 1963 till 1999 , it was called Greens Market and we were known for our produce but also had a meat counter , gas pumps, a chicken kitchen, groceries and some miscellaneous items. We travelled to the farmers market in Colombia SC every Tuesday morning to buy produce we could not get local.
I grew up in Alleghany county, love to see those hills.
I grew up in Westmoreland county.
I lived there from 1978 till 1989 and Rick mabe got an 8 pointer yesterday
Miss Meredith,
A little bit of trivia that is being lost. In the early 1900's North Carolina trademarked the name "yam or yams". A sweet potato could only be called a yam if it was raised in North Carolina. I have had trouble verifying the when the trade mark ran out and why Carolina didn't renew it but apparently now a yam can be grown anywhere. You have mentioned North Carolina State on occasion, mayby your Wolf Pack frinds can give you teh real skinny on "yams".
Thanks for your You Tube shows.

No sweet potato pie is not a thing .sweet potatoes baked with butter and brown sugar on top is a thing or sweet potato casserole I suppose .casserole seem to be a big southern thing. I'm a Northern PA yankee so it was a culture shock when I moved to NC in 1987. First of all back yonder could be about anywhere without specific directions to yonder haha.
And I had to really get use to all the different casseroles and finally did.
Casseroles just weren't a northern thing. Our sweet potatoes were skinned, boiled in a big pot till they were just tender enough to get a fork in and out. Then put into pans on the stove.and cooked In butter and brown sugar and then marshmallows near the end .
Collard greens were not a thing where I came from. That's a southern thing as far as I know.
Mom always roasted a big turkey filled with gizzard dressing not bread dressing.
Cole slaw,baked brown beans from scratch, Waldorf salad, deviled eggs,
Sweet potatoes,corn, green beans, banana bread, big relish tray with different type pickles, OLIVES , cheeses , carrots & cranberry sauce.
Oh and Birdseye frozen squash thawed in a pan then once thawed add butter and brown sugar and omg one of my favorites.so good
Cherry pies ,Blueberry pies,apple pies & pumpkin pies .
Pecan pie wasn't much of a thing where I came from.
The one really
And we had enough to eat on all of it through 3 to 4 days of buck season. Oh I miss all of it and I belive I may do the whole dinner myself this yr.so darn yummy .
Enjoyed the vlog Meredith. Did you grow up in Raleigh? I'm from Rocky Mount, but I live in Asheville now. Was that enough collards? Sweet potato pie and pumpkin pie are so good, especially when you have some cool whip to top them with. I love chocolate eclair cake. That's a family tradition at Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. So much so that people get mad when she doesn't make it.
We never grew collards growing up, we grew Turnips, Kale, and Spinach greens. We cooked them in an old pressure cooker with ham hocks or salt pork. We always started with at least a half bushel of greens because they cook way down. We had them 3-4 times a week.
A butt or shoulder was always more of a luxury for us so we'd BBQ or cook it with homemade sauerkraut.
I plan on a Fall cover crop of mixed greens next year.
Sleet'n, snow'n up here, down right yuck. We do collards no stems with smoked hocks from local smoke house, and broccoli rabab same way . Pot liquor makes base for good gravy. Sweet potato pie is my brother's favorite and we use pum'kin spice also. Have a blessed Christmas season.
I grew up with the Pig! Good meats there. And I also did 5 bunches of collards Thanksgiving eve. They were sooo good. And my favorite cookbook is my home church cookbook from Green Level NC. Glad y’all had a good thanksgiving.
My mum always used the cabbage/collard/spring green/ water for the gravy, we do as well, always. A lot of goodness in that.
Just a question, but does the farmer live with you guys? I see him on a tractor doing this and that for the farm, but he doesn’t even act like he likes you with his mumbling half responses. He’s probably a great guy and a good provider but perceptions speak louder than words or mumbles. I really like you and your kids and how y’all interact for the flog. I watch everyday and thank you for your creativity, God bless you!!! 😊
I love Wesley’s comment about closing up the kitchen, “you don’t have a door “. 😂
Teach me all your cooking ways!!
LOL you can cook girl! Wish we were neighbors so we could have class together haha
Oh my , yall southern kids were abused growing up being forced to ear sweet potato pie.it should have been pumpkin pie .just another weirdo thing by the south haha 😄 😆
I was spoiled by my mom.
everything she made was so perfectly seasoned .in Northern PA.
I came down here to western NC and everything was bland, no taste.poot kids poor people just don't no what yall were missing your whole lives haha.
Seriously though. Even up there mom would cook for family reunions and church functions and every husband and kids would ask what mom brought and thats what they headed to.then the wives were mad & jealous of mom LOL. Some even gave in and asked for moms recipes for many things.they did the same thing no seasoning when cooking there food and alot of the time they just bought canned foods heated up in a pam and on to the table .never seasoned.so sad .
I did not think there were any Piggly Wiggly's left. I also didn't think they were that wide spread. Had one in my hometown in NW Mn when I was young. It closed and moved into a new building but I can't remember if it opened in that building as Piggly Wiggly but it has been Hugo's for as long as I can remember. Building still stands that was the old grocery store but has been a liquor store for years.
I haven't seen a Piggly Wiggly in 30 or 40 years here in Deep East Texas. But we had one back when I was a youngster. It was at the Piggly Wiggly where my sister and I first discovered a frozen food case. We used to stick our head in there and breath the cold air. It was a big deal to us. I also liked your comment about "smells" and how smells can bring back strong emotions. When I was a kid, my grandma kept one of her lower cabinets cleaned out so us kids could crawl in there and hide out. It had a unique odor, like really early days plywood, which we might call cheap today. More like particle board. Every once in a while, I'll be somewhere and catch a whiff of that smell and it just really makes me stop and smile. Awesome.
Sweet potato pies look good. Anything with sweet potato’s are good. Eat turnip greens. Never tried collards. Squirrel dumplings be good. Do put vinegar on collards. Put on turnip greens. Always had meat trimming put with the greens.
Another great family video Meredith ! Cant wait for more holiday videos with the Bernard family thank you .
Never been much for greens, cukkard or otherwise. Also not a big fan of cornbread, but, crumble up a piece of cornbread, mix it up with black eyed peas and greens, with some vinegar sprinkled on it, and that ain't half bad.
Did it again. Your family. Great great grand father and mother were servants of the King and Queen of Norway. Had to see if any of this hits your family. God Bless
Maybe you remember me Meredith, alaska 73,... I shared dinner with my neighbor who is 69 and one fine man cook, he says men are the best cooks which I tend to agree as a overall fan of good cooking as he really pours his soul into cooking. Many women sadly think cooking is punishment but far from it. Cooking is a expression of one's self as to making it the best meal ever! I like his cooking cause his cooking shows he cares about how things taste as i just dump stuff in a pot and simmer it a while then add meat and then simmer more till I have to eat. I have lost interest in food inn general and if it were not for my Rottweiler, Brody, I make each of his meals as surprises and he loves the juice off food same as me but whatever I cook he wants in on it. That's kind of what I mean by cooking.... each meal a surprise of flavors blended into each other with love and there it is, I don't love myself anymore. I call it force of habit. I love good gray squirrel.... interesting about how the little red squirrels get rid of the grays by sneaking up on the grays and biting the grays anatomy (family jewels) and leaving them impotent so they die out. Where ever reds are introduced around grays, soon the grays disappear. I hunted them in the Medford Or. area and then when the reds came into the neighborhood, the grays disappeared so I never hunted them but when I did see one, they would be huge.... five pounds or more and two would feed everyone at the table. Like you, an expression of love
Old recipes are always the best.
Thanks for sharing.
About 50 years ago as a young lad I was trying to make creamed chicken haddie on toast for my Dad and I. That is when I too learned that sweet milk did not mean sweetened condensed milk. He was a troooper and managed to eat a couple of pieces, claiming it wasn't that bad, but believe me it was terrible. Happy Thanksgiving
