This is unbelievable!! I'm a kid, but my dream is to have a homestead when I am older. Since I can't do it now, I'm trying to learn all that I can about livestock, gardening, and building. That chicken coop/gazebo is beautiful, and so is everything else!
Thnx for the comment. You have a lot of time to do it right. First dream, then plan, learn and save. It's a very rewarding lifestyle choice and for u to be thinking about it at a younger age is AWESOME!!!
I suggest keeping a journal. Jot down ideas and techniques learned. Vital skills. God bless you
@@foreversettled9144thats actually a great idea, i love that!
He's right about the the chicken coop!! It's my favorite of the outbuildings. Second favorite is the old barn for Billie and Bobby. 🎉🎉
I’m also a child I’m hoping to be like you when I’m older your so inspiring
The LORD has blessed you and your darling with such a variety of skills and the result is your beautiful home.!!❤❤❤
Yes, thank you
I second that ❤️
Wow you two are an incredible team ….are you sure y’all aren’t related to Noah lol …those are some lucky animals so loved … y’all have come so far continued blessings wished…
Could have watched this for hours---Such a kind and gentle way of doing all this.
😎
Watched it for 8 minutes, until that kind and gentle headkick to the dog 😅
Your building skills are far more than limited at this point. Your creations/builds, garden area are all truly gorgeous. No one would be able to tell you're not a carpenter by actual trade. You & your darling are incredible. Topped off by all the genuine love & care shown to each & every creature that lives there. Can't wait to see how much you reap from the garden this year.
Aww thanks a million, hopefully it’ll be another record year in the garden as I have some more improvements to make.
The way you call her your darling is so sweet 🥹 your carpentry skills and creativity are astounding!
We’re married almost 30 years, I’ve just called her my Darlin ever since. Thnx for the comment 😊
11:33 That's a HUGE project even for a skilled carpenter. Amazingly done, Sir!
My man here is taking Harvest Moon to a whole new level.
Good lord, this man is a human treasure. 😅 Any person or animal in his care is a very lucky being indeed. It brings peace to my life of quiet, desperate nihilism knowing that even if everything collapses, people like this will make it and continue the species.
Godspeed, fine sir. You are living beautifully for the rest of us who perhaps cannot.
Aww thanks for the kind words 😄
Great design for the whole farm! Your carpenter skills are amazing. Happy animals, happy plants and happy couples indeed. ❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much! 😊
FANTASTIC!!!!!!! Excellent job!!! God bless you!!!!
Because you love animals, because you built them houses, you are a blessed man.
You warmed my heart and soul.
Right on! 🤙
All the animals hanging out with you while you build 😂 you're like a badass Disney princess
Haha YES!!! 👏
I'm truly enjoying watching your progress
I love how well you take care of the animals and the kitties, great job on all your projects, love it.
We just bought 10 acres and plan on homesteading. I can tell you really love what you’re doing and care about providing for your wife. I love it. This has given me a lot of ideas for how we’re going to setup our small farm. Thanks for the video!
That’s terrific thanks for the comment, best of luck
where did you buy? For how much? Curious because 10 acres is what I want haha
This is the MOST beautiful farmstead that I have seen! You are a very talented handy man. ! love all the animals and how you take care of them. I hope that you get to enjoy it for many years to come. TYFS!
Wow, thank you!
I love the design of all the buildings that you have made for your animals 💚
Thank you! 😊
@@haiderAli-wy9bd I’d consider raising pigs for meat in the future but these are Juliana pot bellied pigs and are very small and slow growing by the time you get them big it would have cost too much to feed. I sell the babies as pets.
I’m sure the rabbits and other farm animals will also love the fruits of your garden. This is amazing!
Exactly, I have a video on that. The Animals Revel in Our Abundance

When rich people play farming. It's nice to watch.
That part.😂
😂😂😂 true, this game is for rich people
When I get rich, this is what I'm gonna use my money on tbh😭
This!!! I was thinking "dang he must have spent millions on this!!!"
@@pettybee3860 same, i would also make a huge greenhouse.
What a beautiful life!
Loved the recap and all your projects. You have and are creating a beautiful dream space!
Glad you like it!
Your wife is so blessed
This is the best designed homestead I have seen so far.
I’m a med student and some times, when I’m burned out, I watch your videos and I’m like “why don’t I do that instead of being a doctor?”! Love your work ❤
Small towns need doctors to. Why not do both?
This is the best video I've ever seen. This is my and my girl's dream and hopefully we are able to do something like this in the near future.
Greetings from Portugal.
It's amazing you built a beautiful homestead alone 👍
Thank you so much 😀
This is a dream! I have been smiling throughout this entire film. I'm loving this so much.
You would make a good dad.
I'm loving all that you are doing there.That octagon chicken coop,amazing ! Wow look at your skill!! All of your animals look happy and healthy & those sheep dogs🥰😍 beautifully groomed and the cats and kittens love them! Keep up the good work!❤
Wow! Amazing what you have done there! Your living everyone's dream!!! I laughed when you said your not a builder! You two have accomplished so much and I love how you care for your animals! You are very hard workers, which is what I look for as inspiration! Thanks for sharing! Just wow!!!!
Absolutely loved this "then - now" video. Thank you so much.😊❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
I had an Old English Sheepdog, she was the best breed dog. She was playful till the bitter end. So friendly and loving.

What a beautiful property and STUNNING chicken coop! Incredible work. We are getting ready to rebuild the coop that was on the property we bought, it had to be torn down. While I doubt we will do anything this exquisite it’s lovely to see and get the wheels turning! Thanks for sharing. 🐣🌸💛
Love your woodworking creativity with everything you are building.
What a beautiful informative video with Excellent narration! Excellent work. ❤❤
Going to have my hubby watch this and he will most likely be impressed with your hard work and hopefully we can follow your lead.? .👍🌻😊
You two are a cute couple! That's a dream lifestyle.
Wow! I’m amazed at how much you have accomplished in 3short years. You did all this and still work full time! I’m amazed. ❤️
Aww thnx. I’m a hard worker by nature so farm life is a good fit for me. Lots of 14 hr days and late night editing. Sometimes I amaze myself too 😆
I am currently 15 year old and when I become older I really want to have a homestead
Right on, it’s great to develop a solid plan while you’re young.
I watched the whole video and I'm enjoying all the fun and amazing work you are doing
Awesome! Thank you!

Hello from PEI . I just found your channel. We left Toronto and moved to the country in PEI. I shall keep watching bye
I just found your channel last week and I am so enjoying watching your videos. You have a very calming story teller voice. Your farm is amazing.
Thank you so much!
Love watching CANADIAN Homesteads! Wonderful job so far and best wishes for the future!
YES!!! 👏 🇨🇦
Seeing Bobby the pig as a toddler was so cute! I must write this Chad but you and your Darling have given farmers so much more respect and recognition for all the hard work involved! I am like "WOW" and to see how much you have built on your own, you need to take a bow Chad,👏👏👏👏👏👏 you are fantastic and you did an equally fantastic job with your dream farm because it is a dream. Your sheepdogs, Molly and Olive are just heaven. My brother has always had sheepdogs and I have fallen in love with them because they are loyal to the heart and just beautiful animals. Sheepdogs=❤! And the love does not stop there with your ducklings, your chicks, those naughty geese are funny as hell, remind me of my grandmother when she would guard the kitchen and not allow us kids to touch the pies until they were cooled down😂🤣😹. Your two sets of piglets are a joy to watch and don't get me started with the Claw crew, total cuteness and adoration.😻I always look forward to watching your vlog because I learn so much and I get to dream and imagine "maybe I can do this?🧐". It's just nice to dream and your narrative is fun, you're hard working and humble, you care about the environment and your animals. Thank you for sharing and know that I always have you and your Darling and your animal family in my prayers, only praying for the best because you are deserving.👍👏👏👏😹❤️🙏
I was going to write same!! LoL can I just say DITTO!?? LOL🎉🎉
It’s very special and rewarding for us to be able to slowly realize our dream. Project by project this paradise is getting further developed, can’t wait share more.
Beautiful work…….
Love your videos. 😊 great job . Keep up the great work.
Oh how i love this!
Loved this! A pleasure to watch
Bunnies are good eating. Rabbit was sold commercially in California when I was there many year ago.
FANTASTIC❤
A lot, A lot , of money has gone into this place , good job on the set up . Very nice .
Wow! Amazing!❤
What a masterpiece ❤
Love your channel 😊
Hello from france, juste wanted to say that this is trully incredible, im 17 and i know what i want to do in my life ! Love the little ''chateau du poulet'' :) Love you two and yall work !
That’s great that you know at such a young age so you can start your plan early. I only realized this is the life for me about 10 years ago. Right on!
Seeing you build all of that free hand was epic! They look so cool! ❤ huge inspiration (seeing you run from the geese were kind of funny tho lol)
By far the coolest chicken housing ive seen! Incredible
Aww thnx it was a labour of love 😊
Wow i love them all❤❤
If you have moles or voles you can put hardware cloth on the bottom of the raised beds.
Hi friend! We're about to make this same journey but to Newbrunswick. I'm excited and I'll be using your channel for your wonderful tips. :)
Best of luck to you, NB is very beautiful.
I really appreciate to not see this poor Cornish Cross breeds in a Northe American Homestead video, but old breeds instead. I really love your builds. They are unique, great built and a highlight on your property. And of course the garden: awesome!
this is so relaxing to watch.
Amazing video, amazing homestead.
awesome! totally awesome
AWESOME! Bless you and your BIG family and ALL the fantastic projects.. ❤
Love the dog, soo cute
Love to see others live your dream
It's so cool what you did for the cat!
Perfect life and video. Thanks alot
Beautiful video 👍🏻
Gentlemen farmers amaze me! I never understand if it’s about beauty or health. But why not both? 😊
Amazing 😊
Thanks. I needed inspiration to get stuff done.
Hey Chad! I (and probably many others) subbed after watching (and learning from) the airtag cat collar video, and wow, this channel and its journey has been such a treasure to follow along!
Big 👍👍 from the UK here. Love your work and way of life. I'm mostly a lurker but thought I'd leave a comment just to say how awesome these videos are & hope it continues to work well for you & the Mrs 😃
the Apple AirTags is how I found them too. I Googled Airtags on Cats and found the BEST .... I haven't missed an episode and I look forward to the new ones every Monday and Thursday
Aww that’s so awesome 👏
Thnx for the comment. As a creator you never know which videos people subbed from but a bunch of my barn cat videos have gained me a lot of new viewers. Thnx again.
love your cats～～
This is beautiful! Wonderful work such care for the animals that provide for you as well as giving back to the earth man. Grew up kind of like this with my parents an moved into a small town of 600 that allows none of this was a culture shock for me. Refreshing as heck to see your video
