Happy anniversary Pete and Hillary! Thanks for being who you are Pete. You seem like a very good man. Don't let how others act get you down. You set the standard! I am not a farmer but I really enjoy all of your videos. I appreciate all that you share with us viewers. I hope you have a better week this week. Also happy birthday to your daughter.
Yep what Jim said
Jim does have it right! You set the standard. I'm not a farmer either, but I look for any and all your videos. I most of all love watching with my grandsons, when I can.
Hi Pete and Hillary congratulations on your 27 years my wife and I are celebrating 55 years eight look forward to your channel every week I did notice she didn’t post last week because of your honesty and integrity I’m glad you shared it with-viewers. I listen to your advice I’m 78 years old very active I don’t take advice from too many people but like I said honesty and integrity always get me keep doing the wonderful job keep giving us posts from that wonderful farm . And trust your emotions you’re a good man Pete.
Ditto from Oklahoma!
Happy anniversary
I have never gotten the impression that Hillery is pushed to do the work she does. She really seems to love it. I love seeing you two work together and stir up those memories. Thank you both for sharing!
In a world full of nastiness, you are a shining ray of hope and goodwill. Thank you, Pete.
Congratulations on 27 years together. I love your channel no matter what you are doing. Poor John...I know you will miss him. Pete, I love how you respect all of your animals. I am so glad I found you and Hillary's channel. Ezra is such a great cat..thanks for showing him too. Blessings.
We need more “Few acres Farms” run by guys just like Pete. God Bless
A whole country of them would be nice.
@@robinstuyvesant7187 We used to have a whole country of small farms run by people like Pete. For many economic reasons the small farms were put out of business, and one big reason was government policies that made it difficult if not impossible to continue. I grew up on just such a place.
I'm not exactly Pete, but I've been heavily influenced by him, and WE are setting up OUR new 40 acre homestead and farm on our channel right now, if anyone wanted to come support us too 😁
When you told them they had to go all the way back up and around, the silence was deafening. :) They were like "Are you kidding me!?" HAHA
That was funny! I wish I had paused longer during the silence. I could hear square gears trying to turn.

The couple that cleans poop together, stays together😂😂😂! May God bless you with many happy years together!
I want to thank you again for the very enjoyable experience you offer us through your channel. You all are good people and that is increasingly hard to say in this era. Happy anniversary and congratulations on raising your family and filling everyone and everything with LIFE around you. I love learning from you and crack up when you and your wife do the unexpected shows. Your humility and humor are priceless. We probably all feel quite attached to your livestock because we see them through you. Anyway, thanks and may God bless you!
You’re human and things are not supposed to be perfect… you’re always an uplifting person don’t let things get you down for too long….always love watching your videos especially tractor builds !! 👍👍
Social Media and stuff sometimes really stinks. But keep your head up Pete. You guys do great work. My family really enjoys your videos.
You and Hillary are the BEST Pete! Keep the jokes comin!😁
Sticks and Stones may break my bones, but words...unless I've invested myself in you, mean nothing. Keep on keeping on Just a Few Acres Farm!!!
I love the way you handle the challenges you face, whether its with the farm or just life in general, and the fact that you're willing to share them with us, your audience. I hope you find peace with the problems you're facing with social media... I too just shut it off when it overwhelms me. No matter the length of break you need I, for one, will be here when you come back, every time.
Pete is a special man full of love and goodness. He has helped me overcome so e obstacles in life by his sage advice he freely shares on this channel. Today, you could see and feel his loving-kindness and how affected he was by the fighting. As I get older, I realize the error of standing on a self erected pile when I should be helping others to create their own. Thanks Pete for sharing your personal journey with us.
Happy Anniversary Hillary & Pete! Ignoring it is the second-best thing to do, and you naturally do the best thing: you set a better example for us all and give us a wonderful place to spend some time. Thank You!
Your videos are super & so varied. I am always waiting for the next one .Stuart in England
Hear hear!
The world needs more people like you Pete . I always have a smile on my face from watching your channel. Thank you for sharing your insights. Congratulations on your anniversary and your daughters birthday!
I loved how they all stopped mooing when he told them they would have to go back down and around...it was like they were thinking about when he said LOL!
The mooing actually would be a great phone ringtone.
Happy Anniversary, you two lovebirds! Keep doing what you're doing, and never stop. Your fans love you and your family.
You are a wonderful man, Pete. You and your family brings light into my life.
So sorry for your loss of John. Any animal who helped you so much is tough to loose.
Pete, keep on, keepin on! Thank-you for the honesty and truth. After the dust settles and the manure is cleared out, we will all be on the same path again.
Happy Anniversary and congratulations on the great day at the market. Your so right. We need to find the common ground with each other not look for the differences. Love your channel. Keep up the great work. 😊
My grandfather was a small farmer, farming on shares and raising six children in Indiana. He was 50 years old when I (his first grandchild) was born and I new him for 36 years. I spent a lot of time with him and worked alongside him whenever I could. I never saw him angry. Never mad at an animal, nor a piece of equipment, nor another human being, the weather or his lot. He never had a harsh word for me, even if I deserved it. I've often reflected on his life and I'm sure it was his patience and humility that gained him love and respect. He's gone now 36 years but he's not really.
Thank you Pete and Hillary for caring about others enough to be affected by the political division, and building a Channel that provides a wholesome environment away from the vitriol❤️
Amen to your monologue! Social media enables people to say things to others that they would not say to them in-person. And, it only promotes more poison. Love your channel.
Sorry to hear you had a rough week. Fortunately your channel is a great antidote to a lot of negativity. Keep up the great work. Congrats on 27 years. That’s a wonderful milestone
True. In 1942, the women were cleaning out the coops all by themselves. Also, happy anniversary! Life is good.
Pete, take solace in knowing that sometimes adversity can be a good character builder. Also, note that your parents did a wonderful job in bringing up a hard worker with good morals. Happy anniversary to you and your life partner. She's definitely a keeper.
Hi Pete. I like your choice for John. We have laying chickens. We let them live their lives out to the end. Some are 9 years old. We bury them on the property. All our pets have a place here forever. Happy anniversary to you both. We are 47 years together
Pete, your channel is one of my very favorites! You make me laugh, reflect, question things; all in a good way!
I’m so sorry that trip to the mall upset you. What you do in, with and for your farm, family and community is so much more beneficial and important than anything you did as an architect!
Everything from watching you tear down and rebuild a tractor to your impression of Patty yelling at you are priceless to me! I absolutely love to watch you at the farmers market!
And please, don’t let the knothead farmers out there upset you. They will weed themselves out.
You and Hillary and your channel are truly a blessing to me and many others! Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary!!!
Pete, My wife and I love your channel and have been watching for a long time. The farming and animals are a great thing to see, but our favorite part is you and Hillary. If the world had more people in it like you guys, the world would be a far better place. Do what is best for you and your family, we will be here when you are ready.
You and Hillary are my little girls favourite people! Now we have pigs and chickens 😳 and she’s been looking the sales ads for dexters thank god she’s only 9 and is monitored on my phone! We wish you a happy anniversary you are beautiful amazing humans! Love the Townsend’s
Happy anniversary. Fantastic video once again Pete . JOHN was a great bore and he's had a great life. As far as UA-cam channels fighting with each other I agree it's no good and The decline of civilization directly related to the emergence of social media is undeniable . Then I see your channel and it gives me unbelievable joy I actually feel calm and feel warm and happy after I've watched your videos. It's no wonder why you are at 333k subscribers. It's humbling too know that at least a good chunk of those 333k have the benefit from the effort you and Hillary put into these videos
Hope all is ok Pete, what you do matters, hope you can continue to find the good in the world to enjoy and share that joy with others
Congradulations Pete & Hillary on hitting 27 years. My wife and I just celebrated our 51st anniversary, having missed 50 due to the world's health crisis. I also share your outlook on trying to find common ground, an important attribute. I spent 36 years as a civil servant managing opeartions and the people who work to keep things running and safe for employees and the public. A necessary factor when opinions and politics differ. Now retired I find solice working on restoring my old cars and scratching in the soil. Partially eliminating my exposure to some of the craziness in our world. Enjoy your content
“She was eight…before She was seven”, your killing me!!!
😂
Never ever be sad and apologise for being down and not putting out the regular amount of videos you do. You are an amazing man and I admire the things you do for me and for so many others. Everyone can get down in the dirt and we all know that's when we need to get back up. But it may take a little while to find our feet. I am happy you told us thou cus I did truly miss your videos. I am currently struggling with cancer and your videos are so important to me. At least I get to see the life I wanted to get back to but then I got the cancer.
I thank you for every video you put out but never ever feel forced. Do what you love, I am here for it all.
Happy anniversary, I am glad you have a good strong marriage and that your spirit was lifted 🙏❤
Agreed, Pete. We are surrounded by negativity and it's best to avoid it. But despite our best efforts, it does occasionally get us down. Good on you for recognizing it, processing it, and focusing on your blessings to get yourself back on track.
Happy belated anniversary to you and Hil!
You are a very honorable man Pete! Thank you to you and Hillary for being you!
I love the way the cow was yelling at you. Beautiful.
Happy Anniversary Pete& Hillary! I stopped uploading, or going out of my way to upload and keep my channel going. The social side of things really became too much. Internal family jealous lead to family feeding, my uncles and their wives thought I was being favored by my grandparents and they were missing out. Meanwhile I was just taking care of my elderly grandparents, my grandfather had cancer. Naturally there was some benefits to being in their home everyday and keeping the farm running for them. The other part was viewers. A small percentage for some reason always seem to be angry, and it was incredibly hard to keep my mental health in proper order. It ended up taking me a few years to be back on track, and the person I need to be for my wife and children. Part of that healing process has been to not continue growing my channel. Stay healthy, that is more important than a UA-cam channel.
I watch your channel because you are not only upbeat but realistic. The channel you are referring to has a lot of ego and often disdain. He is what we would call a gentleman farmer, not earning his living by farming but playing at farming. There is not much value in criticizing his attitude, these days there are few that are objective or willing to listen to other views. Farmers are the most independent of our society and represent basic values, such helping your neighbors, that have been lost in this world of social media.
I too, get a little down sometimes by the crazy stupidity of the world that we now live in, but my awesome, hard working, down to earth wife of 47 years, always makes me smile & brings me back to sanity, as I do the same for her. Thanks for sharing & keep the faith in humanity
I love that sound. That cow with the horns was looking at you like, we just came from down there.
Thank you Pete for the chat at the end. I am 71 and my husband (51 years together) and I enjoy your channel more that I can express. We love that you remain upbeat, honest and direct. I don’t say it often enough but thank you for all the hours of entertainment. Also, I’m with Hillary on the hard work aspect of living. I mow and edge the lawn right alongside my husband and we share in the work of all the projects. So thankful for Excedrin, Tylenol and Motrin!
Thank you for the video Pete. Don't watch that youtube channel that put you in a bad mood anymore. That is what I do when that happens to me. Thank you for your positive nature and uplifting videos.
from a retired ranchers wife I do enjoy your talks, great seeing the animals etc.
Having sold at flea markets, I know how uplifting it is to sell everything you brought. Congrats- and it is heartwarming that you have a happy marriage. The best to you and Hilary always.
Well, I hope you guys had a wonderful anniversary and that all future ones are even better.
Thanks for being there for us.
Pete.
I always enjoy the days when I notice that you have posted a new video. We need more people like you in this world. Easy going, hard working and happy. I'm sorry that life threw you a curve ball last week. Your wisdom and demeanor seem to serve you well. Glad you are back to your old self. I appreciate you and what you do.
congratulations on 27 years together. My wife and I had our 50th earlier this year and we've been hanging out together for 52 years. I've been watching your videos for over 2 years.
You just explained why I watch your channel. No BS just farming. Thanks
Don’t let the gremlins get you Pete they are everywhere. It is no longer possible to have a private, personal opinion. Too many nay sayers to take one on. Glad you are doing better, if you need to take a week off take one. I don’t let my life revolve around whether or not I get a particular video. When you’d show up I’ll watch and enjoy them. In the meantime congrats to you and Hillary.
At fourteen I worked on a farm one summer. My dad told me that as long as the farm couple was at work, I was to help them. They got a lot of my energy, but not my intelligence. But I learned to work.
Hi I am so lucky that I found Few acres Farms. I want to thank you and your family. Please continue you help your viewers . we do not have to endure negativity.
Love your channel pete been 👀 since the begining
Well said pete. Happy Anniversary. Love your channel and your message keep up the great work
It's "anti-social media" Pete - you're reading it correctly. Keep being you, Amigo. Blessings to you and yours. Andy
Words are hard things to walk back. Especially in a forum like this. It is good to be reminded that the things we can say can create animosity where previously none existed. Where is the good in that?
Thank you Pete.Your channel provides something that is missing a lot in this world and that's wholesomeness. Did you hear about the cannibal's daughter? She was are before she was seven.😜
Pete and Hil … congrats! Don’t let another UA-camr phase you. You are providing great content. Speaking of which why don’t you show the processing of chickens/turkeys? I know you can’t show the dispatching but the actual processing would be interesting … with a warning/disclaimer.
He has said before, it is a liability for his farm. He doesn't want some small detail causing a law suite or other problems.
Yes, a happy belated anniversary to Hillary & yourself, Pete. My wife & I just celebrated fifty years together in September and along with a lot of other things, it proves how time really does fly. Here's hoping you have many more years to add to the 27 you've already shared together.
Pete and Hillary Congrats on your 27th many many more blessed years
I totally agree with your opinion on the downside of social media Pete. It’s such a brilliant forum which can do so much good, I live in England you live in America. A few years ago it would have been impossible for me to sit and watch your day to day experiences. It makes the world seem so much smaller. From the daily news, to areas of social media, we are bombarded with sensationalism, exaggeration, and doom and gloom. Watching channels like yours, reminds me there are still good honest people out there in our world, just living ordinary caring lives like me. Keep the videos coming Pete.
Traumatic times Pete, there’s no need for an explanation, but thank you for sharing your life experiences. You’re a fantastic human being Peter, if only I could have a little bit of your discipline. Great transparent episode in the farming life, thanks buddy.
You and Hilary are gold, Pete
Please keep shining. 🍂🍁
I heard a song from the 70's the other day and thought, "Boy, how times have changed".
That song? "Love is in the air, everywhere you look around".
Today's version? "Hate is in the air, everywhere you look around"!
Both individually and on a Global Scale.
Thanks for bringing some sanity back to life Pete and congratulations on your anniversary. My wife and I (51 years married) both grew up on farms and that certainly brings a different perspective to life.
Happy Anniversary! We're at 26 ourselves. As to skidsteers etc, we've decided that the only way we can farm later in life is to make everything on the farm accessible by equipment. As I build and replace sheds and infrastructure I'm designing it around a skid steer or tractor. I've already got shoulder issues, so for us it works to change slightly to accommodate making farming possible around limitations we're facing. As to the other channel, guess I "missed" it, but whoever it was and whatever their issue is I'm glad I didn't partake. Thank your for all your sound advice.
I’m in my early 30’s and have been doing the same thing. Do all of the chores on my own, already have a bum shoulder and back from auto racing accidents, and am building for when I’m in my 60’s without having to redesign stuff.
I started off buying round bales and rolling them out of the bed of my pickup onto the ground and putting the feeder around them. Skid steer was the single best investment I’ve made.
@@rustyrelicsfarm2406 absolutely! I had a 460 with a loader prior to my skid steer. It worked great for the buildings I’ve put up, but was a tight squeeze in the preexisting buildings. I was able to sell it and get an older, one owner Case 1835 for pretty much nothing out of pocket so I’m happy!
I can see why you both are in good spirits 👍
Congrats on 27 years Pete & Hillary
Glad you found your way back to us. Never feel obligated to respond to us in the comments - I post because the engagement helps you with the YT algorithm!
I absolutely love your channel the content is so across the spectrum of farming and what it takes to keep the farm going. Always wonderful to watch. Thank you.
Pete, I love how real you are. It really inspires me to be a better person and I love that you always explain what you think and let others know that its okay to express your feelings, keep doing what you're doing and happy anniversary!
We get ya Pete! That's why we love @Just a few Acres Farm❤️🐂🐖🐔🐓🍁🍂
Happy anniversary Pete and Hillary. When I was in Grade School, my brother raises "Spotted China" if that is how you spell it. He was the only one that called his sow. Charlie. They always tell me, be yourself, the media stinks, Pete do what you feel is right. Today world sucks.
Happy Anniversary!! I really enjoy getting a glimpse of your life. I don't homestead or farm, but I appreciate those that do. I also enjoy your mechanical work and your monologues.
Congrats on 27! You guys seem like such a good match. Either that or you cut our all the scenes where she's chasing you with a pitch fork or rolling pin!!
Hang in there on the social issues. Theres a lot of anger out there. Most of my closest friends have differing points of view from mine and we do exactly what you do. We look for things we have in common and build a bond there. Keep up the great posts!
The world is ugly… but there’s good everywhere. We just need the right perspective. Thanks for being one of the good guys Pete, and happy anniversary to you and Hillary!
Just a few acres and Farmer Tyler Ranch are my favorite channels.
Happy Anniversary 🎉 You both compliment each other nicely. Rise above that which brings down and serves no purpose. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family. 😃
I think I knew your brother Re-Pete.
Pete, you're a stand up guy and it says a lot of good about you, your integrity, and morals that you don't want to become involved in any mudslinging or name calling! I'm sorry that it affected you as deeply as it did! Just keep being you and people will continue to admire you! Congratulations to you and Hilary on your anniversary!💗
And older friend of mine always says. (He has his faith and everything going on around him is just noise.) Always in a good mood and doesn't let this world's issues get him down. He has a Peace in him that almost glows. Hope I find that peace some day. And you all as well. God Bless.
Happy Anniversary! Pete I agree with you on looking past the difference and finding the commonality.
Happy Anniversary to you both. I am sure you are aware of the 2 rules to life but i will remind you.
1) Dont sweat the little stuff
2) Its all pretty much little stuff.
Thanks for you being you Pete.
Ignore the ugly and keep focused on the beauty that is surrounding your family. Orton oh my goodness! He is a big baby. He loves you Pete, well, they all do! God bless! Been missing Ezra! Yeah!
You're back at it. Twenty year old, blasting off into the adult world ... hold on tight. And, Congratulations on 27. Thank You, for your videos.
Great video. Thank you for the transparency. Glad you’re feeling better. And happy anniversary! 🎉
Congrats on your anniversary! May you have many more! And, yes, just best to ignore all the crap in todays world. You’re on that farm for a reason… the peacefulness and joy is part of that. Thanks for your videos Pete & Hil.
Pete is right about social media. The sad part about it is, too many people throw civility out the window when it comes to differing opinions. I was raised with the ideology: I may disagree with what they say but I will ALWAYS defend their right to say it. But let me update it by adding don't become a keyboard 'warrior' when they do.
my goodness, you literally went on a walk with cows. They seem to understand you and they surely follow your lead. Amazing!
Who's got the $$s for a skid steer? We are farmers not millionaires!
But you are still a legend Pete! 😊
I get lifted up by watching your videos. I enjoy hearing about your life, love and dedication of farming and family.
There is something honest and pure about farming life. I first noticed that when I went with my Dad to his home town in Nebraska.
I love the way you and Hilarie work together.
Congratulations on your 27 years
I know something that should lift you up and get this month started off on the right foot. I ordered one of your hats and commuter cups.
I wish you and your family all the best. Every day
We love you man !
Great video you guys really look great together my wife and I are going to celebrate her 28th anniversary at the end of this month I have three wonderful children to help me on my farm about to have our first grandbaby. My part of the farm is 33 Acres of the original 240 that was bought from the state years ago enjoy your videos very much
I have the same problem with rocks pooping up everywhere! Keep the jokes coming. Hillary and you are a great couple. Love watching you both working together
Patty always makes me laugh with her yelling. Certainly makes her opinions known.
Congrats on your anniversary, and I’m glad you ended up having a good weekend after a rough week. I really appreciate how you run your channel and that you avoid the unpleasantness that social media can bring as much as possible.
I actually look forward to leaving a hard day at work to go home and ask my husband if you have posted a new video! We love your authenticity. We love learning and thinking. You are a reflective life-long learner and we truly appreciate the content you share with the world! All the way from the state of West Virginia, we Thank you!! 😊
Pete, don't you pay attention to any of them, your successful and there jealous, they don't know you, your an educated man, and have taught me and alot of your viewers, I only watch you and only you, God bless you and Hillary and congrats
Pete, my wife and I just bought a home and some acreage. The home is old and the land needs work. We probably paid too much for it and it feels like we have mountain to climb and descend before we are close to where we want to be. We had agreed on terms verbally this summer but didn't have anything on paper. I almost asked my wife about backing out. After a bad personal experience at a place this summer, those feelings only grew stronger. I started watching every single one of your videos after that. Your videos helped bring me out of a dark place where I felt unworthy of this opportunity. In a community and platform like UA-cam, it is so easy to get caught up in fighting and where we disagree. You do such a wonderful job of staying measured and, more importantly, staying true to what you believe.
Happy Anniversary please don't let people bring you down! You guys are the sweetest hard-working couple around!
