Country Rose Farm
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 10 มี.ค. 2018
We have a 5+ acre homestead in East Tennessee which started when we bought undeveloped land in 2013. After saving up some cash, selling our city house, and drumming up our courage, we moved into a 200 square foot camper June 2017. We really felt we were on our way!
Till, well... we began to work toward adding a new member to the family. To make a long story short, we spent 30 months building a house. November 2019, we completed this task and began living mortgage free on our farm. Good thing too, 'cause when the pandemic hit, we felt we were well prepared. Our farm was established with livestock and infrastructure, we had an emergency fund squirreled away, and we could sustain our household on just one income.
Watch as we try to put our skills to the test in getting our farm kicked into the next level.
Check us out.

Corner Garden Work Begins
Yes, another tree felling video. That's how exciting things on the farm are these days...
Nah, just kidding. We took out nine other trees earlier this year on our own. The front yard is still recovering from the stump removal.
But it is a thrill to see that the vision for the corner of our farm... which is right at the curb for everyone to see... is getting some much needed attention.
Sarah hopes it will not take another two years to get that wisteria on the trellis!

Cowdog Hank
มุมมอง 131ปีที่แล้ว
Looks like one of our cast members is developing a career in the cattle trade! Is it true that some dogs just know what to do when it comes to herding and guarding livestock? In the case with Hank, I'm am at a loss for words. He is just two years old and naturally knew how to play fetch. That was impressive. Hank has always been good while around my chickens and also not bolting around on the h...
Just to catch y'all up...

Life happens everyday... well, at least it has so far. Sarah breaks through the riggamaroll to provide y'all a status update on the farm and homestead. Just a brief one and then a garden update! yay! just what the masses have been requesting. Right? :)
Ground Work Training for Stonewall
มุมมอง 109ปีที่แล้ว
Stonewall is just a very months pass two years old. In order to let his growth plates in his back develop to their full potential, we don't want to put a lot of weight on him or make him pull loads. But that don't get him out of some training on the basics of driving. Plus, it looked like he needed some reminders on how to be polite when it comes to his halter.
Honey Harvest - Stage 3
มุมมอง 43ปีที่แล้ว
Now be honest. Have you watched Stages 1 and 2? Well, now we have the finally! Richard has bottled all the honey for this year's harvest. Did you guess right on how many quarts get filled? Plus, check out our wax haul. We were very pleased. Of course, we're all chopping at the bit to get a taste!
Honey Harvest - Stage 2
มุมมอง 44ปีที่แล้ว
Now we move on to the next stage of the honey harvest... probably by far the stickiest stage! Richard and Brasco again have control of the camera as they slice off the wax caps and slide the frames into the honey extractor. Note how many times Brasco tries out samples of the goods as he debates if the darker honey has a different taste than the lighter toned honey.
Honey Harvest - Stage 1

No time like the present to be robbing the bees! Watch as Brasco and Richard bring in the harvest here at Country Rose Farm. Richard says how we're small time, but hey... you got to start somewhere! Also looks like the mudroom is going to be tied up for a bit... just sayin'.
Getting some help around here.
มุมมอง 1292 ปีที่แล้ว
This is the garden update I didn't want to post. And you'll see why... ...but hey, I throw in a lot of positives too. Like how we got a new farm hand to help us out, how we cleaned up that sorry looking dead tree, and how we're doing on our honey prospects. It's all good.
The kinda whiteish Stonewall
มุมมอง 6942 ปีที่แล้ว
Everyone's gotta start somewhere, and here is our youngest horse Stonewall getting his start in the sometimes unglamorous world of being a homestead horse. Though plenty of attempts are made to keep him ready for the camera, Sarah's just one person. Today, she takes you behind the scenes to see what it takes to get the 2 yr old gelding presentable. ...honestly...we should have named him Pigpen.
Trimming... and something sneaky going on
มุมมอง 126K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Curly, our senior halflinger gelding, gets his hoofs trimmed by our resident farrier, Richard. One of the shoes already popped off this morning, so we decided to take all the shoes off for now. Watch till the end to see what Sarah caught on camera! Looks like something sneaky is going on.
Trying Out a Different Disc
มุมมอง 9892 ปีที่แล้ว
Richard drives a different disc that we purchased off a near by farmer who rebuilt it. Not sure what make this one is or the year. But if anyone out there recognizes it, comment below. As you'll see, Richard did try out the seat, but he opted to walk beside the equipment. We're not sure we're going to keep this one, but good to try new things right? Holly, our Saddlebred, once again is seen 'co...
Plowing a Raw Field
มุมมอง 4.2K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Our Saddlebred and Clydesdale get hitched to a riding plow on a beautiful Tennessee morning. This ground is raw, as in it has not been cultivated in so long that the sod has become well established. During the event, we discovered that there was a large tree that had fallen many, many years ago in this section. So much time has past that the tree had sank into the soft ground and preserved itse...
Richard Prepares His Garden
มุมมอง 9382 ปีที่แล้ว
Plowing with his team of horses... that's been Richard's dream for the homestead. The portion of the land he is setting up was a pig pen last year! The hogs did a great job eating away the vegetation, so the weed stress is much lower than in Sarah's garden in the front yard. The last time this garden was plowed was back in 2018 when we had our Percheron , Hannah. She was an old horse, but she g...
The Garden in May, All Natural Y'all!
มุมมอง 452 ปีที่แล้ว
Tour the Country Rose Farm garden that has been planted in the front yard... so it's gotta look good! See how Sarah is single-handedly managing the weeds and just what she has popping out of the earth. There's no store-bought chemicals at all used in the garden. Just elbow grease and on-site sourced compost. This method of growing food can be done, but it takes dedication...lots of it!
