SHARING OUR DREAM WITH YOU
This channel is all about the adventures, hard work, and farm lifestyle chosen by two city kids who wanted live the dream of modern farming, while preserving the quality of life found in traditional home cooking and living off the land.
Nestled in the fertile, mountain valleys of Utah, Ballerina Farm is named after Hannah, a former Miss New York City and graduate of the Juilliard School of Dance. Daniel is a history major and now holds his MBA to guide the ever-growing business. The children are wild, hardworking, and homeschooled by their mother as they learn to farm, rodeo, dance, and grow barefoot and free.
The best lesson anyone can learn from any of these videos is that this lifestyle isn't supposed to be easy, Daniel and Hannah give you a blueprint to how this lifestyle is possible and very satisfying.
Thank you so much for observing that. It's so much work and every day we are dedicated to improving things for our beautiful ladies.
Thank You for the opportunity to observe an automated derry. I hope you continue to put up videos, not just shorts of the business and your beautiful family.❤
….and expensive to begin. It doesn’t happen overnight. “So much work” doesn’t even begin to describe it all. “Seven years” in the making! Seven is a holy Biblical number-the number of completion. Congratulations, Daniel, Hannah, Kiddos, and all of Ballerina Farms! I wish I lived close!
Que maravilla y como los niños se involucran con los animales❤.que vida saludable. Saludos desde Argentina
I love all your videos because they have content like no other farming channel! I love how your family are so loving and friendly due to great parents!
Milked cows in Virginia for 25 years, organic, it's a very tuff life and you have to be strong and a strong family unit working all together, cows are amazing animals and every one has its own personality, you have been given a tremendous blessing, enjoy

With their zero experience in the dairy business there's a real good chance this won't go well.
Once upon a time Everyone who started farming started with no experience.
@@Otherrandomguy42they can well afford to buy AND pay for the experience knowledge and know how they don't have!! They probably have a manager on site!! BUT to be a cow whisperer takes a natural innate intuitive sense of how to doctor care for AND manage a herd!! They will gain as they move along if they are attuned and gracious in this undertaking!! The automation seems a bit sterile to me but it's the future!!! Now they will need proper approvals from AG to support and sell their milk products!!
@@Otherrandomguy42 I'm sure they hire some people to get it on track
I’m a dairy farmer, with a broken ankle so I’m watching instead of farming for a bit. Good luck to you. The work never ends. Make sure you’ve got a god relationship with your vet, they make be your best friend starting out.
Melhoras no tornozelo guerreiro
Congratulations BALLERINA FARM, from Australia (John). I used to be a dairy farmer in Victoria , Australia in the 1960's/70's. Daniel and Hannah you are to be congratulated on your achievements so far. Two things I see as necessary in dairy farming as mentioned in other posts, being cool, calm and collected helps you make the best/correct decisions & have your herd as calm as possible is only a good thing. The second thing is working closely with your Veterinarian. He/She is a godsend in making and keeping your cows/calves in tip top shape. Good luck guys and god bless...............
This was meant to be. The cows were so calm coming off the trailer. They knew that was their new safe and forever home. ❤
@@KariBartolone That’s a nice sentiment but the truck driver treated the cows very well, that’s why the cows were so calm. Kudos to the driver.
@ yes I also agree with that. The truck driver did a great job!
My Mom was raised on a big dairy farm in MN . 6 of her brothers took it over from my grandfathers generation ( their father came from Finland and homesteaded the home place) they turned it into a big operation with robot milkers and now some of their sons are running the farm. We lived in NH and every summer we got to go to the farm to visit and those are some my favorite memories in my life. Such a wholesome lifestyle and up bringing for children.
How many cows do they have?
@bluesky7288 in the hundreds, but I'm not for sure the exact number
@@lizlampinen5291 I know the family 😂 I'm from SD last name Seppanen
@@user-zu2bw7ig5v You should fly the Finnish flag. My best friend came to US from finland at age 10. Her parents ended up going back there in retirement saying they had better services there. A sister moved their and married and my friend later got dual citizenship saying it's a BETTER country!
@@user-zu2bw7ig5v wow small world 😀
I had the pleasure of working for Daniel’s father for 12 years in one of the best airlines in existence. Met him on a handful of occasions. I’m struck at how not only the resemblance to his dad, but the same demeanor. No doubt this farm will be super successful.
@@smffeb58 Do you know the Dad found out at age 35 he has ADHD AND SAID ITS LIKELY LOTS OF his family might have it too. He said he was never a good student and couldnt pay attention. Maybe some of Daniel's 8 kids have it and would NOT do well in traditional school.
@@bluesky7288 is that a problem?
That's so kind of you to say, thank you! 🙏
@@smffeb58 Ironically the Dad was fired from the very company he started. But he has moved on to more successful businesses
@@bluesky7288 Dull sky never disappoints, he is always jealous
Im so excited for all of you. What a journey, dream, and adventure. I am 70, retired 5 years ago, living the life on my little homestead. Dairy cows and goats, sheep, chickens, and two little donkeys made my dream come true. Best of luck.
daniel and hannah don’t hide that they have staff, people judging them for having staff, we should thank those who take care of the land for us ❤ thank you daniel and hannah, your land is beautiful❤
Why would people get mad that they have staff?? Why people if trying to get mad at anything, lol, they cannot handle everything by themselves.
@@itstheLittleThings9 looks like a desert to me
Do your lovely cows spend time out in the fields? Do you think they are frightened being in the cages and being milked like that ? 🩵🩵🩵
They are giving locals Job's...and that's Great...❤
@@itstheLittleThings9 God bless employers!
Warms my heart, God love you for showing people a sane loving marriage and family, this is good for people to see. Thank You
Amen to that!
You are so very right, our world has become so full of technological advances that is proclaimed to better our lives but yet things has worsened because society has been constantly compelled to trust the world system over God's righteous system, when I grew up on my grandparents farm in Virginia, people were moralistic and respectful and loving and families were big with 10 or 12 children, nowadays people are struggling to conceive one child, things has changed since the seventies.
💜✝️
I love this so much. It brought me to tears. Thank you so much for sharing your life, your farm, your family, and your work. Our world needs more people like you.
Congratulations to you all❤️
I agree 100% to be able to live this kind of life would be a dream come true for me. My mama and papa lived on a farm and milked cows when I was just a youngin. Helping papa go out to the pasture and get the cows to bring them in the barn to milk them. Then having that fresh milk to drink I absolutely loved it. But my mama had a heart condition and they had to sell everything and move to town to get her closer to the hospital in case she needed it. God's many blessings to you all !!
@@sammymakeitmakecents Hi princess
This is all a facade.....in reality she is in a really toxic situation...
@@sammymakeitmakecents Hi princess
And now the work begins! Coming from someone who grew up on a farm, seeing all those cows coming into a fresh new barn was an absolutely wonderful sight. I am very happy for you and your family. There is nothing better than to be raised among the animals, or so it seemed to me. You are doing a great job. Keep up the good work.

This is so beautiful! Congratulations. We have to sell our herd after 30+ years. We have a certified organic family dairy... They are over 30% grass fed. It's heartbreaking. But we can no longer make a living doing it. This gives me hope... Someday I hope we can try again. But I won't be the same cows that we've poured our hear and soul into. Skipping events for a difficult birth. Nursing the sick calves back to health or watching them die after hours of treating them. The sweet ones... The feisty ones... It's hard work but such a wonderful life! You will do great!

Seeing your little girls playing in dresses reminds me of my childhood.....
My grandmother (granny) would make dresses fom feed sacks that were pretty fabrics.
We children loved jumping from the hay loft into in the corn cribb, just like your children are jumping
into the feed!
Thank you for the happy memories!
Amazing! The kids jumping into saw chips reminds me of playing in soy beans while grandad augered them from combine to truck. Congratulations Ballerina Farm.
Se divertem as crianças
I was so sad when it ended. I am so intrigued by the whole process. Can’t wait for the next video. And the children’s interest is wonderful.
I am SO happy for you all! I grew up in the country with animals and I remember the excitement when a new group came in! Such a healthy lifestyle for your kids!!!

Y’all will be cleanin them up on pasture. What A Blessing for those cows. Congratulations. This is amazing. This is incredible. This is so inspiring. May God continue to bless you all because through your work you are blessing this country 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@danikajustine Is it a blessing for the cattles and pigs they send to slaughter? Why do only the cows get a longer life. Their milking value decreases after 5 years and guess what happens to them then?
@@bluesky7288 circle of life man. God gave us dominion over animals and made every moving creature for our nourishment.
@@user-zu2bw7ig5v Maybe you work in a slaughter house then. Glory to you

I really ❤❤❤ that they were met by a cow, instead of going in there blind. What a brilliant idea. ❤❤❤
(?!) 🤔🙄 la única diferencia con el resto es ...ninguna. Es sólo un vídeo
I showed Jersey cows! The best memories of my life was at the fairs. I hand milked 3 cows everyday twice a day. This a 365 days a year commitment. Jerseys have the best cream. This is really smart to have a mixed milking herd. These cows are beautiful. I wish you the very best in your journey. I also showed Guernseys. In 1984 my Guernsey Cow was undefeated in North America. She was Supreme Champion at every show. Usually Holstein or Jersey are Supreme Champion. Guernseys are excellent milk cows. Their cream is also delicious. Many blessings to you & your family!!
This is the perfect place to grow old. So much love, fresh air, healthy eating, etc. It is definitely the place to live life ❤

Anytime you guys want to share videos about the dairy and the robotics would be so wonderful. I love all your content but this video of the cows learning the dairy robotics and how it cleans the cows and barn is fantastic. Farms of the future!!! I love what you guys have done
Thank you so much! We'll be sure to make more videos about the dairy! The technology gives each cow a customized experience 🙏
Your lil mamma was so happy to see more cows! So precious. ❤❤❤
She sure was 😊 Happy 🐮🐄 good milk, ECT,ECT, ECT......
What a beautiful operation. Brings back good memories when I milked Double four herringbone. God bless y’all
How wonderful! #43 should be named First Lady.
Great name!

To farm with dairy cows is very hard work and a huge commitment. You are on duty 24/7. You cannot say later. It is always now, on time.
There head dairyman and assistant already quit after a few months. Was a very young man. Must not be paying much either.
@@bluesky7288 I don't believe anything you say....why are you harassing these people????
@@conniepitts8392 Its all true. Something is not going well at the farm. Why arent they selling the raw milk from the dairy cattle yet? What are they doing with the milk then?

Wow, how very uplifting this is. So many stories of family dairies closing, i have one of my own from years ago. This is so good to see. I retired three years ago, sold the last of my cows (beef) five years ago (I miss them terribly). It's heartwarming to see you starting off on this adventure. I wish all the blessings and will pray for you. From someone who grew up dairying, you will love those girls, they will become a part of you. And to be honest, I cried a bit too.
Best regards from Indiana.

I love this channel. Its my dream to have a small farm, and im glad they dont glamorize it. Having a farm is hard work, and the way the animals are treated is wonderful ❤ i love watching how its all coming together. Anything in life thats worth anything is hard work.

@conniepitts8392 I dont want a farm or a lot of children. I dont want to be a beauty queen or a Mormon. I dont care an iota about ballet. I like to cook healthy meals and live simply. So where might I be jealous of a woman making $7 million a year on social media showing a highly edited version of her life? Yet so many women fall for the fantasy. The farm is actually a huge money loser subsidized by social media money.

I absolutely love this. You guys are seriously living the dream.
I wonder how calm you guys have to be all the time. So much work and patience go into having a farm.
So fascinating to watch! Your excitement is palpable!
This is awsome and gives so much hope. In Europe, especially in the Netherlands, they are reducing farming by all means and by force, people loosing their family business of generations; and in USA entrepreneurship and farming meets freedom.
I am so glad for you both and wish you luck! ❤
I guess, some cows are Jerseys.
