I don't know how your channel was in my feed a couple weeks ago but I clicked on your video and watched it. Two weeks later I think I have almost watched all of your videos. Such a nice channel and so calming to watch. It makes me think about home. Being so far away it's nice to be able to watch and smile. Thanks for the great content. I'm happy to be subscribed and look forward to more videos. 😊😊😊

So happy I was able to meet you yesterday! The Eggs were huge and fantastic, and the Chuck was amazing. Made a really nice Steak and Ale pie!

No surprise on the *_’record day’_* sales, you’re such an engaging fella with quality produce. So pleased it’s all come together for you, though it’s no happy accident. You reap what you sow.

Pete, it's great that you take the time to promote the Ithaca farmer's market and the other vendors. Rising waters float all boats.

Wow!😳Pete, At 70yrs,This brings tears to my eyes seeing so many happy people finally out living their beautiful lives again! Thank you and your lady for all you do to make to make a difference in so many lives! God Bless!

The first 40 years of childhood are the toughest.

It’s a good thing to go home empty- it makes packing up a lot easier too!

Pete, You are probably the very first rock star of locally grown produce, seriously! 222K views WOW. Love you and your lovely bride Hillery. You guys make me smile a lot, inside and out. Take good care of yourself. You do good work.🤩

It's so refreshing to see this cozy market with people conducting business the old fashion way. It's such a nice change of pace from the rat race. It looks like you need to expand the operation to satisfy all those customers.

I check KZfaq anxiously about every other day waiting for your videos. I grew up in a farm in Argentina and now live in California where owning one is nearly impossibly expensive. But I relive my childhood through your content. Thank you.

People are at the farmers market because they want to be there, it is a social event. not unlike the supermarket where most need to be there out of necessity, and everyone is in a hurry.

I once worked for a company that bent over backwards to take care of customers. The owner's philosophy was "take care of the customer and the money will follow". He built up one store into over a hundred stores throughout the US. We need more folks like that who care about people. Thanks for another great video.

we lived in Greene NY for 7 years right next to a dairy farm. We only had 2 acres but had a large garden where we would grow all our vegetables for the year. We now live in TN and have a 15 acre homestead. Plan A was Greene and Plan B is our current homestead. love the channel.

I am in Bklyn NY and I work among very negative people that are not nice to me...so yes I do understand what you said and working on finding another job out of state so I can go to farmers markets regularly and meet nice positive people like you and others. God Bless!

Hi Pete and Hilary ! We love you fine people of country view acres ! Forget the dysgunction of those responding wiyhbanytjing but admiration and gratitude for what you are doing and working do hard at to provide quality in everything you do and raise! You are a great humanitarian Pete and we acknowledge your wisdom, teaching, and sacrifice to reach out to those of us truly interested in your efforts ! God bless you and know you are a great american farmer ! Just to be willing to share your personal life as a farmer with us is a very great gift to share with us ! Dont ever let the negativity interfere with what you work so hard at to reach out to us to enlighten us in the life of a small farm farmer ! You are and your devoted Hilary are amazing ! Keep on sharing and keep on farming ! The only thing my 98 yr old dad...my husband and I have to question is ....WHERES YOUR JOKES. ?! You always made us laff and when we shared your jokes with our kids and friends they too got a laugh from them ! You're a good egg Pete !

The wood floors and open trusses really add to the nostalgia of the place. Of course being and older person just hearing “Ithaca” reminds me of my favorite shotgun, the famous model 37.

From the looks of things, you could have sold almost twice as much. What a great day!! What a nice clientele you have built up! Rewards for all that hard work you put in!!

I think that the most glaring impression that I have of both you and your family is the incredibly wide-ranging skill set that you have. The extent to which you have those skills indicates the effort and time that you must have spent, and are still spending, to hone them. Thank you for your always informing, interesting and entertaining videos. I was in a classroom from the age of 5 to the age of 61 and I think that you are an excellent teacher! Greetings from Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.

I wish I were there. I would have bought the beef liver.

Me and my siblings summer jobs when we were in elementary school was tending our 1 acre garden and going to farmers market every Saturday to sell all the produce

I am in Utah. And we have some farmer’s markets. But NOTHING like this! I would be out at yours shopping every two weeks for groceries. And your meat would be top of my list each time! If I am ever that far over in the country, I plan to stop by. We really need something on this level here in my state. To see so many people shopping for good, quality meat and produce like this, is really cool. 👍

That’s it. I’m moving to Ithaca. Awesome video Pete.

The smile on your face throughout the market day says it all!

Thank you for sharing Pete! Your comments at the end about having a record day and saving for the slow times in the winter is wisdoms we can all use in all of our lives. Again, thank you!

one bad encounter with a customer can ruin your entire business, I like your logic Pete.. Thanks for sharing

You are such a joy to watch! Thank you for taking us along to the farmer’s market!

My family loves the channel Pete and the content you bring us. It was nice to see the market place again and all of your fans coming to show their support and getting to meet you. Love the channel and the content Pete, keep them coming. 10/10.

I must admit, the tips you provide on engaging with customers and positioning of product against competition as real time experience is even more appreciated than the wonderful farming tips.

When your children get old enough they can bring you things that you are running low or out of to Make everyone happy 😊

No jingle bells music in this channel and I love that.. simple and educational

I learned why so many local farmer's markets are small and unlike the size and variety of Ithaca's. It takes years to produce enough products to support a market the size of Ithaca. Thank you for educating us about small farms.

I'm impressed with the Ithaca market. The aisles in front of the booths look to be about 20' wide and that gives the public a lot of room to walk the market without bumping into each other. They did a good job designing it for the farmers and buyers, to have a good shopping experience.

All I can say is that God has a plan for all of us and nothing we go through doesn't grow our story and our legacy. I can see how your architectural background gives you good perspectives on angles for your video production. You help us see what it's like to really be there. I appreciate these videos as a new, first generation farmer trying to farm full time. Im working hard, but I've not made the switch. It'll be a year for us 9-22. Thanks Peter!

Nice going Pete.....best day ever and it wasn't raining again!!!!

"Hair & Makeup", too funny! ROFL 🤣

Ways to go, Pete! Glad you sold out on so many items and you had a record day. Thanks for taking us to the market with you! 🇺🇸🚜👍

Makes Me happy to hear you sold out. It’s also good to see lots of road construction and signs up everywhere looking for people to higher. Good for you and good for our over all economy.

Yours is one of my favorite youtube shows.....

Hey Pete, I'm glad to see that you did really well at the Farmers Market.

with the skyrocketing food, feed, and fuel prices, i hope you are successful in the lean times coming.

Pete your success is a representation of the dedication that your family contributes to the farm. So glad that you are able to exceed expectations when it comes to farmers market. Sure wish everyone had your point of view!

Congratulations Hillary and Pete for a record day at the farmers market! You are rewarded for your hard work and organization; that i call justice! You also rewarded me by speaking of the important skill that you brought from your career as an architect that helps you sell meat.

I wish more people had some connection to their food sources. Awesome.

I stopped by and said hi, briefly, at the Farmers Market on Saturday. Thanks for the great video. Last night, I was grilling some meat I'd gotten a few weeks earlier at IFM, and I noticed that that meat had a note about where it'd been processed. It made me wonder about the different processing options. I know that a few years ago, finding space in a processing plant was a huge challenge for local small farmers. You've shown videos where you do all the processing yourself. And as you noted in this video, you have some fresh chickens at each market. But in many cases, farmers are required to sell their meat frozen, right? Any chance you can discuss the different ways in which you and other farmers manage the options around meat processing? Thanks again for the very interesting videos.

I think your market videos should be watched by all existing and thinking about it benders and market managers. So good!

Loved meeting you last week Pete! And the pork chops were amazing! Mom-approved!

If I where closer I would buy you beef liver, nothing better then liver and onions. I live in Salt Lake City, Ut. I was Born and raised in Cheyenne, Wyo. I am glad I found you and your wife, love what you do. Miss those days on the farm. God Bless

Pete, put up a sign at your stand to I’d your channel. I agree that you must feel so much satisfaction at bringing your products to market.

thanks pete for the positive videos on the internet, showing friendly people who work hard every day and get rewarded.

There is just something welcoming and calming about a Farmer’s Market. Thank you for sharing.

We live in South Africa and grow avocados at our farm. Have watched a good few of your videos. Enjoyed them immensely. Wish we could be at your market to buy your products. You have a lovely personality. God bless you.

Coming up to Syracuse for the state fair at the end of August. Hoping to stop by and pack my cooler.

Such a nice P.O.V. about exchanging stressful careers for a positive response career!

My son and I both spent years in sales we enjoyed supplying people with what they want.

So glad it went well.Local farmers selling at local markets is so important.I wish more would do so and I wish more of the population would start shopping the local markets instead of grocery stores.

I believe that one of the main reason that the buyers don’t complain is because of the quality of the product is way above what they have been getting from the big retailers over the years. You get what you pay for quality over quantity any day. I wish that we had big farmer’s market like this in the UK

I hope these videos are increasing your sales at the markets. You're a great guy Pete, with a beautiful family. Congratulations on your success. I'm tempted to make the 5 hour trip to shake your hand and buy some of the best meat around. Thank you for your videos, along with all your positive life advice. I love this channel more and more EVERYDAY. God Bless

Love you Pete !!! You are a good man 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻👌🏻👍🏻😀🇦🇷

I hope the market gives you a discount on your annual fees for all the promo you do for them. Great video, as usual.

I enjoy your being at the market once in a while on your videos. And you or your father aren't old yet. I worked for AT&T 35 1/2 years and now I have been retired 20 years.

My brother sells at 2 Farmers Markers and 2 days at house which I run. We opened a new building that is air conditioned and our produce stays better longer. We have instances were we limit certain items so that all the regulars get our produce. Our sales have gotten better this year with more people spending more for fresh and grown without chemicals. Like you we promote a diverse atomosphere for all things to survive. We companion plant and replant to have same produce the full season. Brother is a hard working man and only has the help of 1 young man 3 days a week for 3 hours each day when we’re getting ready for markets. The one thing most people don’t understand that there is a lot of work that goes on outside of selling.

I’m so glad you had a record day! The video I watched yesterday told about the permanent devastation to your daughter and your recurring dreams of work n failure. It was really sad.

I love see viewers visiting you.

I was actually in ithaca yesterday and almost stopped in to the farmers market just to see YOU. But rt 13 was soooo busy I just kept going

Pete, It is time you talk about the big picture and how and why you do all this online. I think you are very serious about and steadfastly helping other people and areas to connect their local customers and farmers and understand the future importance of those relationships.

Pete, if you leave us just a little more time at the end, I think you'd get many more likes! 😃

We raise pastured chicken and turkey on our homestead and the reason we do so is because of a visit to a farmer's market. We actually went to the market in search of bulk vegetable seconds for preserving and, although we didn't find that, we did meet "Farmer Rhonda"~~a farmer who has become a good friend. She was selling herbal soaps, various types of eggs, and pastured chicken. I had never visited a large-ish farmer's market and didn't have the first clue how her chicken was different than grocery store chicken, so I asked her: "Hi! I don't know anything about pastured chicken. How is it different from what I buy at the grocery store? Educate me!" And she did. We bought 3 frozen chickens and some herbal soaps (I've since become an herbalist!). I made the first chicken in a crock pot and it was delicious! One taste showed the difference in anemic grocery store chicken and pastured poultry. Farmer Rhonda also mentioned a couple of documentaries to us~~one being Food, Inc. We went straight home and watched it and loved it. It got the wheels turning for us. We eventually toured Polyface and met Joel and our son earned an apprenticeship there. We've now been raising pastured poultry for 7 years and we love it! All this to say that a friendly farmer at her booth at a farmer's market made a huge difference in our life! I'm sure you've had the same effect on many folks. God bless!

I love the Farmers Market videos and I wish we had one close by that was open on Saturday. Thanks.

That's a great looking market y'all have there Mr. Pete! I think one reason why you do so great is not only your customer service skills but also the fact that every stage of the production is done by you and Miss Hilarie. No doubt, the quality of your meat can't be beat by any grocery store around. 😊👍👍

Love these videos! Makes me feel there is still so much goodness in the world. Very grounding. Thank you!

Thank you for your words of wisdom. They are coming at a very important part of my life. I just need to hear what you have to say. Thank you for taking the time to touch on very important issues of life.

Hey Pete im from westchester aswell. Im glad people from out here are watching your channel I thought i was the only one

Agreed I worked as a vendor for four months, and it's a great environment. Even though I have a full time job now, I still work the markets on the weekend sometimes if they need help. The people are always nice and it's a great environment.

What a great video. So informative and pleasing to watch.

Glad you had a record day! Couldn’t happen to a better person. Hard work pays off.

Pete, I totally enjoy your videos & your general outlook on living a better life. I also believe it's time to go back to a simpler way of life. Sometimes the answer for the future is looking back in history & see what worked when there wasn't much to work with. Len

great videos take a drone shot of the farm and put the picture up in the booth

Hey Pete,you are such a big motivation and inspiration.My dream is to be a farmer just like you!!

Absolutely enjoyed the video! Thanks for taking the time to make these!!!

Very cool farmer's market. Nice work environment.

Greetings from Chicagoland, I can't make it to the market but I just wanted to say that I really do enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome. Love your logo. I wish i could buy some of those🥩 .

Thanks for taking me along..

Your videos are great, keep showing those farm market ones.

I feel proud, from when i began watching your videos to now I’m essentially invested in what you do and to see you have a ripper day at the market puts a smile on my face. A little bit more in your back pocket for the extra time and hours you invest in KZfaq videos. Keep up the good work.

Yes! Another farmers market video

Love getting your view of New York state.

I LOVED THIS VIDEO AND TOUR @ LUNCH.VERY KOOL💖THANKS

Definitely the go to channel. Very addicting! Have learned a lot about the quality of farm raised vs store. The comparison is remarkable. Thanks for showing that

How do you not cringe from the things some ppl say and do. Horifying! Just keep on smiling.

I am a vetran living in Azerbaijan British Army Combat medic 23 years service then 20 years oil exp[oration around the world from Cape Horn too Sakalin Island yhep around the world and now have a small holding in Azererbaijan dont ask long story. But I grew up on a small holding and always wanted my own your show has bought back so many memmories of our local farmers market back in Worcester keep up the great work.

I’m heading to a multi-generation birthday party in upstate NY soon and look forward to a little detour to the Ithaca Farmer’s Market. I want to support you because I believe in the type of farming you do.

I just love your content and videos. Thank you from all the way in Paris, France.

A breath of fresh Air. TY.

Glad to hear your breaking records !!!

Hi Pete from Nebraska. Started watching two weeks ago. Really enjoy it.

So happy to see you and your livelihood thriving Pete. Your videos are always a welcome break in my day.

Hey Pete, love your rainbow bag and your videos.

Hi Pete! I couldn’t agree more with your comment about getting energy from customer engagement at the market. Last spring I started taking my eggs to market. Now I draw so much energy, inspiration and motivation from that market time every 2 weeks! Even on the weeks where I don’t feel like packing up and hauling all the things to market, I come away at the end of the day both exhausted and rejuvenated at the same time from that special customer interaction. Something about being around like-minded people who truly value your efforts is just electric!

Thank you for sharing the Ithaca farmers market vendors and your knowledge! It can get a bit crowded sometimes when I go but it's nice to see so many of my favorite farmer booths still hustling!
