To order Pete's book; "A Year and a Day on Just a Few Acres:" www.amazon.com/Year-Day-Just-...
Hello! from Ireland. So many people tell us we should sell a lot of the things we produce on our little farm. I tell them that people couldn't afford what we would need to charge to cover even a minimum wage of around €10/hr. We make cheese and butter and yoghurt and wine and sausages and all manner of beef. pork and chicken products. I'm fond of saying "We work like peasants but eat like Kings!".
Great saying! Where abouts in Ireland? I'm a Dubliner, city slicker but would love to know how Irish home farms operate - any channels on youtube you could recommend? Cheers
there are people who would pay to eat well...
Let em grow there own
What you should consider is having WORKSHOPS, teaching your skills. Gardening, Cheese, butter, & wine are all viable skills. As well as your processing (butchery) and food preservation methods. People in American pay good money to come to a workshop on someone’s farm and learn how to process chicken or pigs… making cheese is an art that many people are intimidated to attempt without some sort of hands-on instruction or mentorship. I have tried cheese a few times and, when my cow freshens, I will try again.. mentorship is a valuable “service”. Bread baking is also a skill that many struggle with.. These are all valuable, reproductive skills that could be an income source for you instead of the products themselves..
❤👍🇮🇪🇮🇪
The look on Hillary’s face when you begin to tell a joke is priceless 😊
Sometimes you see it, sometimes you don't. But if you do see it, you'll never unsee it.
My new favourite part of Sunday - no pressure Pete! :)
I woke up early, but yah, no pressure 😂😊
Somewhere along the way we lost our enjoyment in jobs in order to become more efficient. The only Few Acres job I would change is cleaning out the chicken coop. I always wish the building was taller and that bucket would fit inside so Hillary didn’t have to squeeze out the door with every shovelful. I’d still have her shovel!
I know you like to show the different things on the farm, the pigs, working on the tractors and such. But it makes my day when you show Patty. IMHO she's the farm's diva!!
All fingers and toes crossed Billy and Bossy get the job done! ☘☘
And we all know what's going to happen if they don't! 🥩
@@Jamestrent9 It happened. 🥓
Great conglomeration of chores . Never boring spending time with your family .Thanks for your time ,we appreciate you. Stay warm and God Bless
"I can't quite feel my lips all the way yet but, they're telling me its good." hahaha
I laughed out loud to only me and then felt sorry for poor Pete with his frozen self and splashes of mud on his face. Brave man. Blizzard #3 brewing in the NW headed for us out East. Brrrr.
"No, they can eat tuna". LMAO!!
100% agree. That line was fantastic.
A pig is not a garbage bin! Love your remark Pete!
Disturbing maama Henry with your jokes..😂😂😂😂. Legendary Pete.
Pete I really believe that your grandfather waits anxiously for your next video to come out just like we do! I am sure that he is so proud of you and what you have done with what he left you! Great job!
Thanks Michael. That truly means a lot to me.
@@JustaFewAcresFarm we are custodians of the land for future generations. I'm in Ireland and the land is very important ( remember the film The Field) My father handed over the reins to me several years ago as far as the land and livestock go. He sees how much of an interest in livestock my own son has and said he was glad to see another generation would keep it going
Wow Pete that tractor was pretty dirty. I’m glad you got it cleaned off.❤❤
This man god loves ❤️ he not allow out side inflowincers to take over his channle respect peter and family
Omg we got kissed by a cow! 😂
Pete, the smile on your face when one of your tractors fire up is priceless.
That is one clean barbecue lid. Finally. That is all I could think about for months now.
HAHAHAHA!!! So was it you who complained
Cross-stitching, Plato, several old clocks, all in a beautifully set up room that just says relaxation…
Every time you come back with not so good news about the pigs, I think about that huge renovation you were so excited about doing for a pig addition. I think you made the right decision making it into barn to house your beautiful 'stable' of tractors - along with the winter barn for the cows. That is so ideal! When you started pulling out the tractor I thought: "oh no! He's not really going to wash it, right!? Go back in the house and go back to your cross-stitching" lol! Glad it's done. :-) She looks good!
Hi, I am so glad I didn't do that too. Probably, if it weren't for YT and viewers' attachment to the pigs, they would be gone already, and we would just buy feeder pigs to raise each summer.
That beef brisket looks GREAT! 😊 you are certainly a Jack of all trades Pete
Beautifull cross stitch panel Mr. Pete. And yes , there is a difference. The machine could do it much faster, but it does
not enjoy it. And the book Ms. Hillary is reading is classic!
been following you for years. Going back and rewatching the old videos now.
Efficiency isn't always important. Often it's effectiveness that's priority. Reducing waste, saving time. Time for what though? The things we enjoy. If you enjoy those (inefficient) aspects of your work and its your time, who's to fault you? Enjoy life
Great spending my Sunday with Hillary and Pete. 😀
👍👍
As a cross-stitcher myself for many years now, I must say it is such a wonderful sight to see you working on a pattern... isn't it so wonderful and relaxing to cross-stitch..!!
You're following Rosie Grier, one of the biggest (in more ways than one) star players in NFL history. He also did needlepoint for stress relief.
I love listening to your wisdom. And, I love watching your animals and your machines that help you get your work done at the farm.
The only animal I have here is a squirrel, who looks for a treat every day, including during this cold. I feed him some apple and a peanut and pecan, his two favorites, most days. And, if I forget, he slaps his tail or knocks on my patio door.
Wintertime is a quiet time. Falling of snow ❄️ is beautiful.
The sounds of a farm are so relaxing. Just like cross stitching, which is one of my favorite retirement hobbies.
Thanks for sharing.
If everyone lived life according to these folks morals and ways,We would be all living in a peaceful paradise ,,
I love this channel so much. I laughed when Pete looked into the camera holding the grill cover before he washed it. I don't know what gets more silly complaints, that cover, or the giant bush by the door 😂😂
Best part of my Sunday. American Gothic and Sinclair Lewis rolled into one. Nice cooking lessons too. 🏆 for working with PW in the cold. ❤ to you, Hilarie and family for continuing a fast disappearing American way of life.
Wow, Pete… what a difference the pressure washing made!
Mr. Pete; Back in the day when I worked on Farmall in Rock Island Ill. tractors that came off the line were towed out into a staging yard. The tractors that were used for towing had a special three point hitch where the towing tractor would back up to the tractor to be towed and with the hitch would pick up the front axle of the tractor and then pull it out into the yard, stop, lower the hitch and then proceed to go and get another one. No climbing up and down on the tractor to hitch and unhitch, no chains to attach. etc.
❤🎉😂Blessings to you all and Thankyou sooo very much❤. Brisket looks Yummmies.
Everything and Babies are well.
Sometimes the enjoyment of the method is more value than the product.
Just wanted to say. You both have the greatest smiles!!
Old skool tractor deserves an old skool power washer... lol
Thanks for the peek at you cross stitching! It’s a wonderful relaxing hobby that I have been doing since I was eight or nine. I started with standard embroidery on seed corn bags my mother would soak in a bleach solution for a while then wash and lay on the grass for the sun to bleach out more. Iron on patterns you could buy at the dime store for a nickel. Life was simpler then. I just turned 81 and find I need cataract surgery now. Old age is not for sissies.
Love a nice and shiny grill cover 😂😂😂
A Clean grill cover is a happy grill cover. I bet you the meat they just cooked didn't taste dusty!!!!
I had to laugh at about 2:50. Hillary is reading Plato and you are doing cross stitch with a halo over your head.😄
There's so much Ezra in this video! One of my favorite videos so far!
LMAO , Cleaning the Lid , Because !
Thanks Pete. We enjoy your silliness and wisdom. Love to see your wife is reading philosophy.
You're right counter clockwise here in Australia. Living the best life is more important than efficiency any day of the week.
Love the clocks! Happy livestock. Thanks again for sharing your family and farm
As a fellow cross-stitcher, I appreciate the time and commitment of such creations, and I'm attracted to cross-stitch and embroidery when I'm in thrift stores. I hope one day someone might appreciate mine after I'm gone
I love your videos, love the way Hilarie looks at you and the way you look at her with love. Really enjoy the bad jokes and the cooking advice. I guess that I should say that I love every part of your videos. Please don't stop!!
Prayers for health and safety!🙏❤️🙏
❤️ Patti and her constant comments.
Yep, them eating keeps them warm. Same with horses. As long as they’ve got a lot of hay to eat then they’ll stay warm. Our horses live outside full time and have a cover with dry bedding. They don’t need stalls. In fact they like being outside. They get blanketed when it’s below 30 degrees. What you have to understand though is that if it’s above that temp and they’re blanketed, they’ll sweat and then can get pneumonia. Same as if they are wet you don’t want to put a blanket on them. And if you put it on when it’s too warm their winter coat will not be as good. Most horses you see blanketed have clipped hair for showing and dressage and stuff. We have quarter horses, drafts, and saddlebreds/walkers. Not show horses, and they get good coats
Clockwise!! Lol pretty funny 😁 😂
OMG!! I thought milking cows in this weather was bad. You're out pressure washing your tractor. Stay warm and safe-
So sorry Pete. I just watched " Working Horses with Jim" and got my wires crossed. I'll be sure to call you Pete the next time I see you.😀
Always good to see Ezra. That's a fantastic cat right there. 10F in Connecticut right now.
So I’m in Florida and we recently had our 1 week of winter this past week…a wet cold, lows in the low 20,s & a high of 48 ( I know it doesn’t sound to terrible to most) However, I tried Pete’s trick of emptying the water hose that water the horses, and even though it was 30ish the next morning- it worked wonderfully! I also had 3 heat lamps on the ground surrounding the pipe to the well to keep the water pump/ pipes from freezing. Thanks for the tip!!!
Pete so glad to see your winter blues have gone away. If you want a vacation from creating content may I suggest a video of the greatest animal characters from your old videos. We all need a little away time, especially a philosopher such as yourself. Take care.
I'm into tractor repairs but I have to say this channel has turn me into cooking in my kettle.
I love your cat and your tractors and your son and your dad and you and hillier rey
As much as I enjoy your videos, especially the tractor restorations, I think more Ezra videos would be completely appropriate!
Pete, can you imagine living without a front end loader?😊
Doctor Strangefarm: How I learned to stop worrying and love inefficiency 😂😂😂😂😂 I love doing things the way I like it regardless if there is a better way. I’m not close minded but if there’s something I like to do, I wanna do it the way I enjoy. Thanks for the video!
Hey hey hey thanks Pete! Peaceful calming informative entertaining ect.. ❤
Love this couple great people
I prepared beef brisket professionally back in the last millennia for roughly nine years. I must have prepared tens of thousands of pounds of the stuff. Never thought about keeping track of that particular statistic. Kind of like riding a bike, once you know how, you just know how. I imagine there are an infinite number of ways to end up with an excellent result. So much depends upon your equipment, climate, resources, and grade of beef. You're spot on saying that the brisket is a tough piece of meat. The "secret" used by many of us so called experts is a low fire and plenty of time. Once a good bark is established the meat is often wrapped in butcher paper and/or foil to steam in its own juices. This helps to tenderize the meat and prevent it from drying out too much. Looks like your system works well too. I don't think we'd string you up here in the Lone Star State for serving your style of brisket. I enjoyed seeing your method and enjoy watching the progress on your tractor restoration.....
Anyone notice Pete is left handed cutting up the steak?
And another thing i like on your farm is your cows and your green grass
you should know that i showed my coworker the dad jokes in this one and by the time you finished the second one the remarkable comment finally clicked in her head lol
I forgot to include that I always look forward to your videos.
I said to my wife as I was watching “I’m not sure about pressure washing when it’s 20degrees out. That may be really cold!” You definitely proved it but I’m glad your lips thawed out to eat that brisket! I laughed pretty hard on that episode! 😅 keep up the great work!
We've raised pigs all my life when I was young and fed a lot from the garden and waste from the table. Never had a problem with the way the pork tasted. That's all the old folks used to feed back in the day. Hence the old saying " slopping the hogs". Would never feed restaurant food unless I knew where it was coming from like a local bakery or local eatery. Those tanks heaters work excellent in that type weather
Now the neighbor's are farmers and they slopped their pigs the table scraps, but I'm certain that was a supplement to the feed the piggers were given. Still it saves throwing it out. Thanks, Mr. L.
Fine job on the brisket.
Thank you for saying that, about pig feed. During the cough cough one of thr providers of local pork must have done that, because the pork began tasting bad. I quit buying it. Now I see the local provider no longer carries it. She can be pretty fussy about receiving bad reports about things in her market. So, basically, sadly the pig farmer must have put himself out of business feeding the pigs junk.
I hope Billy Boy gets to performing. What a drag for your farm if he does not.
Pete and Hillary your the greatest!
We watch your videos on our TV. All of the family gets together. When you brought out the grill cover, never said a word just gave your sneaky little look into the camera, my whole family just burst out laughing. We could not stop laughing. We were kind of hoping you would never watch that top. But it was actually more fun watching you do without saying anything. Thanks for another great Sunday .
LOL "Let them eat cake! (Tuna)" Good stuff there. Keep warm you two, and thanks for the time shared with us.
That tractor doesn't look that big until you get up on it. Great tractor work all around today. Thanks for another fun, well created video.
WOW! A shinny, like-new, BBQ lid. I never thought I'd see the day, ha.
So glad you heard me shouting " Pete, don't forget to take the exhaust pipe back off!" Lol. Thanks for another great video!
It’s another channel that has it all thanks lovelies from oz❤❤❤
We fed hog feed along with cooked table scraps, and like you we grazed them in season. That was the best pork I've eaten. Possibly my mother's cooking had something to do with that.
It's alleged that my grandfather knitted.
Must be a Scandinavian thing.
Thank you Pete.
Excellent video Pete :) , Hilary :) Ersa The Farm Cat 🐈 , All Animals you have , yes Pete :) temperatures are wild this past week plus weekend to and Snow Monday afternoon too!
Thank you. Cannot wait to see more grilling in the future.
Thanks for the Video Pete. Enjoy that Brisket
Great video. Thanks for bringing us inside the house.
Only problem with that brisket: I would eat that whole platter by myself. Wifey would have to eat tuna with the kids.
He Pete and Hilary it's been a while!!! Always good to see you guys 🙂
Efficiency. You said that eloquently. Some things are worth doing because they feed the soul.
Omg! I love your videos, but you just got even cooler because you cross stitch! It is one of my favourite hobbies.
Cross stitch and tractor dirt for the win!
Pete, your one tough son of a biscuit eater. How you pressure wash in these conditions is just WOW. Thanks for the video !!!!
You're always tastes better when you light it at the right end😂
🤣
I wonder how did I miss this video I thought buy subscribing i was getting all the videos and this one just now popped up. A bonus indeed for me
I so look forward to your videos. I find myself checking your channel daily sometimes. After careers in the military and the railroad I wish I had gone into farming instead. The work seems so satisfying and like you Pete I would just like to be outdoors watching the animals most days. Thanks again for a wonderful video....peace
Dad always enjoyed watching sports on TV and mom sat nearby doing cross stitch and other needle work. She always kept baby blankets she made to give to new mothers.
On Iowa Country Girl they use baled cornstalks for bedding. Very good channel. Rachel is a sweetheart.
I agree, cold weather is better than humid and 90 any day. Unfortunately we get more 90 plus days here in Georgia than cold.
Another ER visit ...my urethra catheter froze up with blood..talk about pain...took I guess 3 hrs easy to pull the catheter..insert new one..hey I'm ALMOST 74 incredible had 2 high school friends die of pancreatic cancer gosh 15 yrs ago ..so u r blessed...
I suspect Billy's shooting blanks. You know Brownie's a proven sow.
My 2 cents about the ticking engine noise.....my 856 had the same ticking sound, and it was nothing more than the inection pump. The Rossa Master pumps have a fuel metering plate inside them that gets a little play in it and makes a clicking sound. Ran it that way for a couple thousand hours, never got ny better or worse.
I like/ love all farm videos. Either yours or some others. My Grand parents had a little one. A milk cow, chickens,ducks maybe a goat or two. So I've always enjoyed the videos. As I said I watch yours& other farmers!!!!! I enjoy all them. Most of the ones I watch are young couples on other states. There are only a few that have pets. Your s is one that has the old equipment runs,fixes & uses them. Just like the old days. You could not afford new,may you made due with what you had& got. As I said before. I enjoy all your videos!!! Brings back some bad& grateful memories!!! So thank you so much. Keep up the great work folks !!!!!!! GOD BLESS!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤ Ps I live in Pa,nearErie.
Pete, I get it. I could watch these videos at 2x speed to be more efficient, but I enjoy watching them at regular speed. I know its not as efficient, but that's the way I like it.
I watch Pete's videos a second time, while I do yard work, and let those ads run and run and run... 😉
