I am so happy to see you prospering. Kevin’s shirt says “Support your local farmer.” Please let me encourage you to support your local retailers as much as possible. A store is a brick and mortar farm of inanimate objects. It is tended with as much care as a farm. The people who own and work at the store are your neighbors. I know you enjoy the convenience of Amazon and make money as an affiliate, but think of them as a corporate farm. As a displaced retailer, I see the network of traditional local trade collapsing. I don’t mean to spread guilt, only an awareness of these dynamics. Please follow your own consciences, with prayer and thoughtfulness.
I totally agree-and I don't do AMazon at all anymore-or any other "woke" business. NO MORE. And God is faithful to be our source of provision at all costs. Support your local business owners.
This is so true! I see so many small businesses closing down. The cv didn’t help anyone either. I am so sorry to hear you are ‘displaced’ I worked for a couple of companies that shuttered while I was employed there. It’s a terrible feeling when you are in the middle of it. May God bless you and keep you in His favor.
Congratulations on your successful time at the farmers market. It’s exciting to see how well you are doing in your new projects. May God bless you and your family.
I'm so glad you guys got "American Bresse" and are sharing your journey. For years, I have known that they are dual purpose, produce a fairly high number of eggs, and are considered to have the best tasting meat among chicken varieties, so the Bresse have been top on my dream farm list. Today I learned that the Bresse grow a little faster than other varieties (I know Cornish cross are basically the fastest growers but they can't be bred and self sustained on a farm) and the Bresse start producing eggs a month or more faster than other varieties. The Bresse just keep getting better as I learn about them! Thank you! :-)
Oh my goodness, when the baby calf and momma cow came into view on this video.... I just sighed at how picturesque that was! Just the coloring of the cows, and the green grass... with the trees and landscape in the background...blue sky, what a lovely sight. I would love to have that right i on my own property! Just beautiful.
I am so happy to see Ginger enjoying being touched. I thought for a while, she might never get there. Kevin, as far as the key lime, they are really touchy with the cold. Great video this morning. I'm looking forward to seeing you start the spring planting!
Mine dropped a lot of leaves over winter. But I found my cat was pulling leaves off my key lime lol. Mine is an indoor house plant in winter outside in summer
I bought a dump truck of the best soil in my area for raised beds. The guys who delivered it kept showing me how fluffy it was. It was nice. After a season it settled. Nice yards I'd paid for had included a lot of air. Another thing I've found, that Kevin and Sarah have also experienced, is the top quality soil was lacking in nutrients. I thought it would be fabulous. I'm taking this year to build that soil with my compost. Cheers all!
I was able to get some American Bresse chickens from Bresse Farms about 3 weeks ago. I'm so impressed by how fast they're growing! I have them in with some Polishes, Americaunas, Wyandottes, and one week younger Buff Brahmas. The white bresse are growing faster than the black and blue bresse that I got from the same place. I think I might have 2 white rooster out of 7 white bresse chicks. This year's will be my breeding stock and next year I'll be hatching eggs from them. So excited!
Kevin and Sarah ever since I began following the channel I must say that I have been nothing but impressed with the ways that you manage your family farm and ways that you have planned for intentionally growing the Farm as a business as well. I so happy that you have been able to experience so many successes on the farm and in your business practices! I believe that you will continue to strive to do your very best, learning as much as possible also sharing a great deal of your knowledge and experience. May you continue to experience great blessings, growth, good health and increased prosperity. Thank you so much and may God continue to bless you 🙏❣️🥰
Great you found the Bresse chickens. With all the avian flu going around, having your own breeding stock will be great. I bought a Meyer Lemon and a satsuma last fall and put into pots. Lost mine in the ground during the Texas Deep Freeze. They were fairly new to being planted. This year, these will go into the ground. Planning on building PVC pipe frames to go over them with Christmas lights for heat next winter. They can actually take brief periods below freezing.
Look up "Walpini sunken garden", and how well you can grow fruiting trees and bushes, vines in these. Saw a video of a guy in Montana that grows oranges in the middle of freezing winter there!
It's the rabbit manure.. but you have been basically saying that all along. Yes that stuff is gold, great that you powered it, makes it easier to use, and store, and just plain easier. Lots of rich Nitrogen in it hard to go wrong with plants with that in the mix. Great video love it.
I had a litter of rabbit born, too. She had 8 and is an amazing mother, but............ RATS!! Chewed through the only wooden section in the cage and took one kit. The entire rest of the cage is 1x1/2 quail panels or hardware cloth, but that blasted rat found the one weak point.
You should get some of that stuff that Cog Hill used on Moody for flies, the beef cattle looked miserable with the flies around their eyes. Beautiful plants and the Breese are looking good.
The shot in front of your red barn would be a perfect pix for your Christmas card. Your shirt and Sarah’s hat just set it off. Of course you need to include the girls. I don’t know why I’m thinking about Christmas Cards. You are busy enough. TFS. I love watching. Much love💕from California 👍
With a little ingenuity, you could easily turn your salt tubs into self-watering pots. There are a couple of young men that brought life to the Global Bucket concept on UA-cam. That is where I got my start with them. Since then I have modified my 10 and 20-gallon pots into self-watering planters. For larger plants and trees this works amazingly well.
Do you have a video of how you do it? I know a couple of ways, but it's always good to see how others do it. I would put them up higher than the plants, to gravity feed the plants, then add a garden timer manifold to a male host coupling on the water container, then run spray or drip lines off the manifold. The timer will turn the water on and off. You can get a timer watering manifold with 4 outlets for about $75 on Amazon. (They used yo be about $40, but with inflation they've gone up a lot), and the manifold will generally last for years. Great idea! For small gardens, even a 5 gallon bucket used for watering with a drip line can be a big help.
Kevin and Sarah, thank you SO MUCH for your American Bresse video. I had recently made the same decision about breaking from the ‘beholden to a hatchery’ system, and had chosen American Bresse as a Cornish Cross replacement, but couldn’t find any. As it turns out, Northstar Farm is located in my state, so we made the 2.5 hour road trip last week and picked up our breeding flock! IT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED if you could publish a video describing your BREEDING PROGRAM. That process seems rather confusing and complicated. I appreciate ALL of your videos…you taught me how to render my own lard from my first pigs last year, Sarah!! Very exciting! Y’all are a blessing to the Homesteading Community!!
I have had a horrendous week with serious illness diagnosis. Watching your videos have provided valuable diversion. Great to see the progress of the growing season. Hopefully to the change of potting soil makes a difference to all crops this season.
Jimmy you are unfortunately not alone, but isn't watching homestead progresses a great relief from our own challenges? I wish you a much improved health & much inspiration in other areas too, blessings to you from a fellow watcher. In similar situation, so keep your chin up.
Looks really Great guys. I saw that Cog Hill Farm mentioned you guy's and your greenhouse, they just got theirs. And I noticed Jason got some wasp larvae that only eat flies and their larvae, maybe the cattle could benefit from this. 👍👍💚🐔🐂
Your tomato 🍅plants look beautiful ... nice thick stems etc! I just started seeds here in central Pennsylvania yesterday🌶🫑🍅🥒 I planted garlic 🧄in the Fall for the 1st time, and they are coming up pretty good. Good thing they are hearty plants, because we are going into what looks like a 4-day cold period .... then we should have clear sailing🛥🤞 Take care Kevin & Sarah ... best of luck with the Farmer's Market🚜🚜
I had one doe who had 13 kits one year. Fortunately the other doe I'd bred at the same time only had 3 so I was able to even the litters out and all the kits survived.
Those little white Hereford faces are precious! They were always my favorite. Daddy also had angus on the farm and they would crossbreed. Great meat, for sure! Thanks for sharing your day!
Oh my - my computer is doing mini-lockups, last just a second or so - when you said rabbit manure it locked, and I thought you said RAT manure! So glad it's just a computer glitch!!
Collecting seeds from the bok choy is probably a wise move. In the right conditions, unharvested fall bok choy self seeds well enough to look like a green manuer cover crop come early spring.
I've been watching your channel for several years and I just love how well your Video production has developed. Being that I'm a professional musician I really enjoy your use of music. The choice is one thing but how you use it to move your video along is spot on. It looks as if your homestead is coming alive with the Spring again. Can't wait to see it blossom this year...
A good frost, not too many freezing nights, makes the citrus sweeter. They actually like a bit of cold. I actually have a smudge (hot) pot like that was used in our orange grove in Cali. We also had a Meyer Lemon, a new Ruby red grapefruit, and two avocado trees in our yard area. Now I am trying to bonzai citrus in Virginia in a green house. Love a good experiment.
I got these based off your videos. I was able to get these from a local breeder. I do want to get a cockerel and couple pullets to ensure purity in my flock.
Have you considered growing figs? They should do very well in your greenhouse, and will probably do well outside. This is a major food crop. They are easy to grow, the bugs for the most part don't bother them, every variety has a different flavor, they are easy to propagate and could be a cash crop for your farmers market. They are easy to propagate from cuttings taken in the fall and start bearing useable fruit the second or third year.
That farmers market must be pretty popular, nice to move all those plants along 👍🙂 Calves are looking great, did you ever consider putting a Black Angus bull with them for some hybrid vigor ? Seems black Angus is pretty popular for meat at the moment. Spring is finally here, I'm so excited I wet my plants 🤣👍🇦🇺🦘
Well just found you , not even sure when this was shot , but loving what your doing was watching you hoop house chicken coop , wanted to thank you for that ! But it was on my tv so I had to find you on my phone and say my thanks! ❤️
Is it weird that my husband and I (from Michigan) are planning a vacation to Missouri to meet you guys, get a picture and getting ""Kevin and Sarah plants"?
Hi thanks for sharing what lovley cattle an calves good luck to ginger maybe she have her babies for Easter an oh those bunnies so so cute oh the chickens also lovely gardening plants now Happy Easter to you both an family an keep up the great work love your videos hope I catch up with a live some day take care good luck in all God Bless oh an also your families
Wow, these look great! Amazing how stout they look. So interesting to learn how you transplanted the seedlings. I've very interested in the American Bresse. Thanks for sharing. The calves are so pretty!
Good ☕️☕️ Morning Kevin & Sarah,your plants look so healthy!So happy to hear you did so well at the farmers market.Your hard work is amazing Kevin & Sarah.Have a great week! 👏🏻🌷👏🏻
Good morning and congratulations on your success at the farmer's market and all you new additions in your farm. Thank you for your videos, we look forward to them (packed with so much information). Blessings to the entire family.🤠👍
Kevin, please check out a Cog Hill vlog about using wasps that attack fly larvae. It looks like fly season has arrived there already. It doesn't harm bees. I hope that helps.
First time to have chickens. I was all set to get Cornish Cross for meat. After I saw you changed I started shopping for them. Ack! None local or at the hatchery you recommended. So I will be buying locally. Bresse is available and I won’t have to get a minimum thats more that my limit of 15 (per the city). I can’t have a rooster so being completely self-sufficient is out unless I can take my girls out for dinner and stud service. Watching you cut up the Bresse breast was awesome. It reminded me when I buy chicken I prefer the longer thinner breasts over the ones that are extremely thick on the end, so thanks for that! I think we will enjoy Bresse. Especially since it’s known as the best tasting chicken in the world! 😋
Hello nice to see you your plans look awesome I wish my look like yours and congratulate and selling the plans your farm looks awesome God bless you and lots of fruit and vegetables this year good luck.
So nice to have chatted with you at the Farmers market. You both are truly as sweet in person as on your videos. Your lettuce and cabbage are transplanted and doing nicely. The cookies were delicious! Tucker the dog says hello too!
I liked the cows and the updates of the chickens. The greenhouse, the soon to be mama pig, and the farmers market work you've done. Thanks for sharing everything.
Question: Are you going to have a spout house at the Farm or are you planting everything in the green house in the 🪣? Glad to hear you are doing so well at the market. Some people have “IT” some don’t. You both have “IT”👌🏻😂😁
I'm sure you already know this but watch out for pinkeye with the Hereford cross calves through the summer. They are more susceptible to pinkeye than other breeds.
Hey guys saw you two on a random add in face book today someone was trying to sell the planting square you use and there you both were busy as little beavers planting up your raised bed in your green house on the original homestead
I love watching your UA-cam channel. We bought American Bresse chickens after watching the first video you posted on UA-cam about them. We are very excited to getthem at the 1st of May. I was wondering what chicken feed you are using? From what I understand you shouldn't feed them just any type of feed. Thank you for all you do to share your knowledge!
Baby calf is saying more milk please. Do you give the nursing moms extra food to help them produce more milk? Looks like the grass is ready to be reseeded. Maybe throw in some extra goodies like spinach or other greens in shadier areas? Just a thought. Glad to hear you’re doing so well at the farmer’s market! I’d love to see a video of that and see what all else you’re selling lol. Yes, buy local!👍🏻
Looking great! WTG guys! Spring is definitely here! I'd stay aware of the bird flu, and your bio-security on the farm. Shoes & pants can be a transmission point of bird flu, so might want to keep shoes & pants you wear around the farm on the farm, and shoes you wear off the farm away from your farm shoes/boots. This is something everyone should be aware of. I knew a guy who worked with quarantined imported pet birds, and between servicing different bird cages, they kept a pan of 10% bleach solutions that they stepped in for 5-10 minutes before going to the next cage, and they also washed their hands between cages with soap. It slowed things down, but doing so reduced transmission of diseases. They also didn't travel to other places with birds, and would set off fire crackers if they saw wild migrating birds around the farm, to discourage them from hanging around. Biosecurity with birds especially now, is something we all need to think about, and keeping separate shoes/boots worn off the farm seperate, and washing clothes you've worn off the farm before wearing them on the farm only takes a few minutes a day, yet could spare an entire flock from disease. You may already do this, but for the benefit of others as well. Your Agricultural extension through your local university may have additional measures everyone can take to work together to reduce spread of bird flu and other pathogens. Quarantining any new eggs and/or birds, and any birds that show signs of illness is essential as well. Anyhow, great to see you guys doing so well! Those tomato plants look great! I planted a couple Romas and Serrano chilies the other day here in California. They look like they are already digging their roots into the garden soil. We planted seeds directly too. Lotsa basil! It's hard work, but pays off in a few weeks. Loving spring!
I saw flies on the calves. I really don't know much on what to do for flies, it's just that Jason from Cog Hill Farm put something on his cow Moody and he said he is not seeing any flies. Might be worth checking out. May be something you wouldn't want

Suggest you set up some fly traps near your cattle and maybe allow some chickens to follow behind the cattle to rid the cow manure of fly larva.
Congratulations on your successful time at the farmers market. It’s exciting to see how well you are doing in your new projects. May God bless you and your family.

Do you know why Cornish cross cannot be reproduced on the farm because they are obviously done to be sold to public. So why not on Homestead? Thanks

First time to have chickens. I was all set to get Cornish Cross for meat. After I saw you changed I started shopping for them. Ack! None local or at the hatchery you recommended. So I will be buying locally. Bresse is available and I won’t have to get a minimum thats more that my limit of 15 (per the city). I can’t have a rooster so being completely self-sufficient is out unless I can take my girls out for dinner and stud service.
Watching you cut up the Bresse breast was awesome. It reminded me when I buy chicken I prefer the longer thinner breasts over the ones that are extremely thick on the end, so thanks for that!
I think we will enjoy Bresse. Especially since it’s known as the best tasting chicken in the world! 😋
Very Good Guys. Careful breeding Bresse chickens unless you get them from different hatchery's.
Love that things are going so well for y'all. The ghost face calf is my favorite. God bless!
Hello nice to see you your plans look awesome I wish my look like yours and congratulate and selling the plans your farm looks awesome God bless you and lots of fruit and vegetables this year good luck.
we just 13 chickens they are really growing.
God bless you both and hoping you will have a great planting/ growing and harvesting seasons! Be well.
So nice to have chatted with you at the Farmers market. You both are truly as sweet in person as on your videos. Your lettuce and cabbage are transplanted and doing nicely. The cookies were delicious! Tucker the dog says hello too!
I think people are going to be doing more gardens now, due to the price of food going up & up. Glad you did well on your sales.
I liked the cows and the updates of the chickens. The greenhouse, the soon to be mama pig, and the farmers market work you've done. Thanks for sharing everything.
Question: Are you going to have a spout house at the Farm or are you planting everything in the green house in the 🪣? Glad to hear you are doing so well at the market. Some people have “IT” some don’t. You both have “IT”👌🏻😂😁
Your videos are always informative and so well done! Thanks!
I'm sure you already know this but watch out for pinkeye with the Hereford cross calves through the summer. They are more susceptible to pinkeye than other breeds.
It's really windy on our farm too. I get so encouraged by y'all. I just want to run out and plant something!
Hey guys saw you two on a random add in face book today someone was trying to sell the planting square you use and there you both were busy as little beavers planting up your raised bed in your green house on the original homestead
I love watching your UA-cam channel. We bought American Bresse chickens after watching the first video you posted on UA-cam about them. We are very excited to getthem at the 1st of May. I was wondering what chicken feed you are using? From what I understand you shouldn't feed them just any type of feed. Thank you for all you do to share your knowledge!
So excited for your success! 💪🏻
Baby calf is saying more milk please. Do you give the nursing moms extra food to help them produce more milk? Looks like the grass is ready to be reseeded. Maybe throw in some extra goodies like spinach or other greens in shadier areas? Just a thought. Glad to hear you’re doing so well at the farmer’s market! I’d love to see a video of that and see what all else you’re selling lol. Yes, buy local!👍🏻
I'm inbreeding how hard you'll work
Add peat moss or coco coir to your containers to make soil much more friable.
Spring❣️
I so enjoyed this weeks tour of what you are working on ❤
Looking great! WTG guys! Spring is definitely here! I'd stay aware of the bird flu, and your bio-security on the farm. Shoes & pants can be a transmission point of bird flu, so might want to keep shoes & pants you wear around the farm on the farm, and shoes you wear off the farm away from your farm shoes/boots.
This is something everyone should be aware of. I knew a guy who worked with quarantined imported pet birds, and between servicing different bird cages, they kept a pan of 10% bleach solutions that they stepped in for 5-10 minutes before going to the next cage, and they also washed their hands between cages with soap. It slowed things down, but doing so reduced transmission of diseases. They also didn't travel to other places with birds, and would set off fire crackers if they saw wild migrating birds around the farm, to discourage them from hanging around. Biosecurity with birds especially now, is something we all need to think about, and keeping separate shoes/boots worn off the farm seperate, and washing clothes you've worn off the farm before wearing them on the farm only takes a few minutes a day, yet could spare an entire flock from disease.
You may already do this, but for the benefit of others as well. Your Agricultural extension through your local university may have additional measures everyone can take to work together to reduce spread of bird flu and other pathogens.
Quarantining any new eggs and/or birds, and any birds that show signs of illness is essential as well.
Anyhow, great to see you guys doing so well! Those tomato plants look great! I planted a couple Romas and Serrano chilies the other day here in California. They look like they are already digging their roots into the garden soil. We planted seeds directly too. Lotsa basil! It's hard work, but pays off in a few weeks.
Loving spring!
Golden comet in a Cornish cross body 🤣 great video. Love the content the cows look great too.
I saw flies on the calves. I really don't know much on what to do for flies, it's just that Jason from Cog Hill Farm put something on his cow Moody and he said he is not seeing any flies. Might be worth checking out. May be something you wouldn't want
Looks like a great spring. Happy Easter!
