Find you so wholesome! Have you thought about putting the piglets in the orchard? Will clear up all the apples and refresh the pasture?

@HiddenSpringFarm 9 ай бұрын

Aww thanks and yes I have thought of it, logistics and fencing is the issue cause the orchard is probably 1000’ away from the barn. The pigs will eat the grass too. BUT they can also ruin the pasture if left too long.

Just found you on KZfaq and was awe struck by your out buildings and verity of animals. Love the shape of your poultry house and the way you raise your rabbits, I never would've thought of that. I think I will be back for more ideas. Great channel.

Love the fruit orchard. On our little 1 acre suburban lot we have 2 apples, 2 cherry and a peach tree. We also grow 2 large veggie gardens and many flowers. We have been gardening for over 40 years. Love it. Also can many of the items we grow or freeze some as well.

Hi Chad! Thanks for the tour. The piglets are way less scared of you now than they used to be. Do the farm animals ever get any Thanksgiving leftovers? I don't know the traditional Canadian menu, but I bet the pigs would love pumpkins or squash or something!

Chad. You are a very responsible and thoughtful animal owner! Love seeing your animals doing so great. 🌺 Those white greenish apples are apples of my childhood. We kept them in cold storage and ate them even in February. Very good apples! Best taste when harvested after first frost.

@HiddenSpringFarm 9 ай бұрын

I ate one the other day and it was very hard and tart so I thought they might not be ready. I’m gonna get that last of them when it’s frosty out like you said.

We are collecting our 8 week old Old English Sheepdog this weekend from Scotland. We will travel from North Wales on Saturday. Call in to meet him and learn all we need to know and then stay overnight locally before we collect him Sunday morning. If he doesn't handle the car journey very well we will break the journey and stay in a hotel. He is so tiny and my last OES was 12 weeks old when I collected her. So excited to meet my new best friend. Calling him Benjamin. Hoping he isn't too stressed by leaving his mum and dad and the journey. His grandfather is the Dulux paint dog. Wendy

@HiddenSpringFarm 9 ай бұрын

That’s very cool, best of luck. I’m happy you’re going to have a new OES family member. We got Molly at 8 weeks and she’s now 3 yrs old and 93 lbs. i remember she whined for about 2 nites missing her mum and siblings but once she knew that I was a cool dude and feeds her our bond will never be broken. Benjamin must have a great pedigree then eh. Cheers.

Happy Thanksgiving Chad and Remy. And to the home stay family………welcome and enjoy your vacation and weddIng! We’re sitting between 13-17C out this way, so was surprised to hear how cold you guys are. I was checking weather in Ontario and it looked like you were much, much warmer than us. Haven’t had a lot of rain, but will have for the next few days. Dexter is definitely your man and you are so lucky to have him around you. Thanks for sharing today as I was feeling a bit blue and your channel always gives me such joy 😘

It’s been strange, working on the new shop it’s been 25 c but the past few days it dropped to below 10. Gonna warm up to 15-18c this week though. It’s good too cause I need more time to dry in the shop. Have a great week 😊

My s son (34) decided that this year Thanksgiving didn't really have a meaning to him, so no slaving in a hot kitchen of me I decided to go Cuba. To be honest I rather be in my kitchen. My trip was for 10 been counting the days. I leave tomorrow the 10th one more sleep. Happy Thanksgiving! I enjoyed your video as I always do. 💛from 🇨🇦

Homestead, farmstead, small farm are all so intertwined anyway. we do homesteading things so I dunno maybe we’re a farmstead. We’re a farm stay version I guess. Homestead is a nice searchable term for the algorithm too 😆

Benjamin may have a champion and famous OES grandfather but we just want a good natured family member. We were drawn to the breeder and Benjamin because they are being brought up in a family home with both mum and dad dogs fussing over them. Dad takes cleaning ears as his job. Both parents are well loved family pets and this is their first litter and was not planned. The puppies look confident and have been handled since birth. They have been really well looked after and have had veterinary checks. I was just really impressed how loved and cared for all the dogs are. I have so many lovely videos of them all. You have to be so careful as I would be horrified to come across a puppy farm. We spotted one litter of puppies that were definitely puppy farm dogs and all the little puppies looked anxious. Quite heartbreaking. We are so looking forward to taking him home. Wendy

Still hanging on in there as a sub (too good to miss) Adverts are doing my head in and I sometimes take several runs at watching one episode. Anyhow, it's neat to have a tour for each season each highlighting the changes from the last. Not seen that approach before. Be well.😉

KZfaq has been putting out notifications to us creators that starting in November they’ll be streamlining the ads somehow. Not sure what it means yet.
