  • Join me for a special behind-the-scenes look at a day in a 140-year-old house on the Old Byrd Farm. In this video, I am joined by my teenage farm intern, who is spending the summer working at the farm. Instead of our usual tractor driving and farming activities, she's learning the ins and outs of filming and creating a UA-cam video.
    We tackle some clean-up tasks around the old house, and the video is filled with fun and funny moments as we navigate the challenges of maintaining a historic property. Come along and enjoy a day in the life at the Old Byrd Farm, where history, hard work, and humor come together!

    Robert, your intern/daughter is adorable and a natural fit at the OBF. Hope you keep her. lol...There's something special about little girls and their daddy's. They grow up so fast so cherish it but remember this ~ that little girl will always belong to her daddy and she will cherish those memories when you're gone.... From a 70 yr. old little girl at heart who had a great and wonderful daddy. 😄

    OMG! When you were in the closet and picked up the little yellow and green barrel shaped item, I almost screamed! When I was a little girl, that was the salt and pepper shaker on our table. I believe the pepper was orange and green. My mom is deceased, so that reminded me of my mom. Now, I’m going to look for old pictures of our dinner table to see if I can find them in the pic! Thx Robert!

    Interesting information online…”Historical Note
    J.H. Filbert Inc. was founded by John H. Filbert. In 1917, John Filbert died. His wife, Martha Filbert (the namesake for Mrs. Filbert's Margarine) then succeeded him as president of the company until her death in 1954. In 1979, J.H. Filbert Inc. invented I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! They were acquired by the Unilever company in 1986.”

    Your Old Byrd Farm artifact collection looks very cool. That would be awesome if you did an update on it. The inside is looking great. I bet it feels good getting more rooms cleared and finding family treasures hidden in the trash and junk is always rewarding. I really enjoy the progress on making the old historic house and farm a beautiful place again.

    What a busy day.! It was delightful to watch you and your "summer intern" she did a great job and everything was interesting and fun. The oleomargarine box brought a lot of comment,and there was lots of controversy over it's use and consumption. It was actually invented by a french chemist in 1867 his name,Hippolyte Mege-Mouries. The history of this substitute butter is quite the read. I'd keep the box, just because. Continue to stay cool and looking forward to more interesting living at the OBF summer of 24'!😄Love from Ky.
