“I already have a couple of full time jobs”. LMAO-literally! You kill me Mike. I love your humor. Erin, your gardens are so beautiful from the aerial shot. Looks like the cover of a gardening book or farm to table cookbook. You are such an inspiration for me. Those were excellent words of wisdom, to start slow so you don’t get overwhelmed. But it’s difficult when there are so many things you want to do lol. Thanks guys and have a great day!
Great video guys....so much hard work and education for us all.....very kind of you to take us along the journey of farmer's market life....wonderful video! Thanks Mike and Erin!
i dont mean to be off topic but does anyone know a method to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost the account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
@Nicolas Abraham i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
"Rolliin' rollin' rollin', keep them doggies rollin', rawhide. Wind and rain and water, we'll all stay together, keeping them doggies by our side..." Every time I watch your channel, I can't help but start singing this... Wow, quite amazing! I wondered how y'all (aka, you's guys) grew stuff up there in cold Wyoming! Vinyl house, eh? Stands up to winds too, impressive. You know Mike, you gave a good description of farm/ranch life. It's really about the ranch. Keeping it going and providing food for people. Of course, I should have know that, but you describe it great for a city slicker like me. Born and raised in the city, I was. But coming from an old fashioned farming family, I think it's in my blood!
Speaking as someone that is on staff for north of 10 conventions and running a department or 2 at 3. The number of hours that goes into a event are unimaginable. With all the blood sweat, tears and sometimes very colorful words are all worth it when you see all the happy faces.
Erin, congratulations on your success. You are smart to grow your business via controlled growth. Growth is really important, but keeping your business from falling into chaos keeps you focused and makes it rewarding at the end of the day. I look forward to seeing more videos on your success!
You have great hearts, bursting with goodness. Happy to see all that hard labour reaps rewards for you and that you don't forget the needy. Great to be here and thanks for sharing. Wyoming looks so different to how it was portrayed on TV back in the day but I'm so excited to travel the ranges from the other side of the planet.
Thanks for all your work providing us with fresh veggies, delicious baked goods and home grown beef and pork. We're lucky to have such a great farmers market in our city. See you in a month.
Mike and Erin, Congrats on another successful gardening season! Something to be proud of!! I've got seven inches of fresh, wet snow this am. Hoping for a little Indian Summer around the corner!
I will be missing your farmers market videos too. Erin the veggies, baked goods and everything looks so delicious. When we were younger we did craft shows and I know that feeling of it being over for a while, but like planting a garden by spring your ready to get back to it.
Mike, I gotta tell you, I was introduced to your channel through Stoney Ridge Farmer. You are a great narrator and story teller. Congratulations on a good summer farmers market.
I love that you guys are always looking to, and learning to, improve your lives in all aspects of it! So many people(including myself.....) are quick to settle, when they get the point of surviving decently. It's quite awesome to see y'all going after everything, it's very inspiring!
Wow so impressed with you guys, Erin and Mike I am so jealous of your sustained energy level, you must have the EVERREADY SYNDROME. Really enjoyed this video, but heck I enjoy ALL of them. I wouldn't miss a single one.
What a fantastic video Mike some real heartwarming sentiments and the closeness of the farmers and the town is so evident please keep it up and I look forward to another year of watching your videos...God bless you Erin and the kids and a thought to all the people that you support and the people who support you.....
Wow u have a very nice display. U r doing it right . The main thing is to have everything nice and clean . And always take fresh stuff to the market . I'm from alberta . Edmonton . Good luck guys .
I love the farmers market videos! Along with videos of the animals and such. Seeing the farm market videos inspire me to want to do farmers market even more. Your displays are beautiful. Look forward to more from Our Wyoming life.
Where did you get that truck for $3000?? That is amazing. I love how the both of you work together. The cattle aren’t Mike’s and the garden isn’t Erin’s. Success and failure is best when shared.
You are very right, its all shared investment. The truck was a dumb luck thing. A guy bought a grader at auction and the truck was in the bundle and he didnt want it. Just sold it to get rid of it. Worked out for us. Thanks Misty - Mike
Since watching your channel I look at farms and ranches I drive past differently. I look at the livestock more closely....and look at the barn and wonder, how is this family doing?? It has made me very aware of my agriculture neighbourhoods ......thanks OWL and continue on with the education, it's working!
Hi again! Congratulations Mike and Erin on a beautiful growing season and all that you do to make it happen for not only for the ranch but for your community! Absolutely beautiful produce Erin but your baked goods and other treats looked delicious. Can't forget the mouth watering meats you raise Mike! You surely deserve a break Erin and I know Mike does too. So I'm thinking my idea of a mini vacation in the 90 weather of the hightower in the depths of your Wyoming winter sounds pretty fantastic! Kicking back in all that fresh oxygen with some refreshments and treats sounds perfect on a cold snowy winters day. Saw you got your snow already and it's there to stay s o I hope you all have a safe not so tough one. Thx as always for making and sharing such really nice vids and all the info that is included. Til next time...
You folks have grown the market business, and more importantly, the goodness through hard work and dedication. Your kids are lucky to have such good examples! Best wishes from Ohio!
Erin, what an awesome job on the farmers market portion. You have some amazing looking food to sell. So glad that you help with WIC since these people need good food but usually can't afford it. God bless you and your family. Hope everyone is doing well and I wish you all a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING
Great video, as always! I'm always interested to see other Farmer's Markets and how they run. Glad you had a good season! I really love how you guys never lose focus on "The Ranch" and it's importance, history and your heritage. Bravo! Oh yeah, I'm sitting here in Alabama watching this in shorts, t shirt and flip flops.....:)
I know the feeling you have of the season coming to an end and winter coming. It makes you realize that you have a short time to do a long list. I just planted some more hay ground yesterday, a month later than I wanted to.
Ahh that white stuff I just swept off the stairs this morning, again! You and Erin are very fortunate to have your farmer's market outlet, perhaps not so much for the income stream, but for the more important community aspect of life on a family farm Mike! Hope the weather tempers a bit to make sorting a little easier, give Erin a bit of a garden break, and grow your family farm in Wyoming just a little bit too. -Bob ...
I shared. I'm not really techy so I hope it worked. I love your story. It's America at its core. Thanks for being brave enough to share. God, Country, Family that's what life is all about.
U guys should b very proud of farmers market, n everything u do to, helping ppl eat healthy to donating to the needy.. all the work u guys put in it, is very hard work n time, so I say thank u to showing ppl working hard does pay off.. thanks
Watching on youtube ALL the many things yall do & how HARD yall WORK to make it as farmers. Yall do a GREAT JOB! Very Impressive! May yall be blessed with Good Fortune and Success!
Mike n Erin thank you very much for all the hard work u put in both on the ranch n the Farmers Market. Wish I was closer to enjoy it myself. Cinnamon rolls looked good by the way.
I am so totally impressed with you and your wife. I really enjoy being given the chance to watch your video's. Thanks for all your work. From a silent friend and a thankful consumer....................
I just found your channel today, but in watching several of your videos, I have to say I really, really like your content. What especially hit home are the farmers market ones. My wife and I started selling at our local farmers market this year. We had no expectations, but have been amazed at how well we have done. My wife does baked goods also, and sold over 100 peach and wild blackberry cobblers, along with many others offerings. We live in a very small town with only about 5 vendors at our market so we thought that was really good. Our biggest draw though is our homemade jams and jellies, pie fillings, and syrups (we tap our maple trees and have maple syrup, Shagbark Hickory syrup, and fresh fruit syrups). We grow a lot of the fruit here on our small farm, and get what we don’t have locally when possible. We have sold over 900 jars this year! We are still going to market each week in a nearby town who has an indoor winter market also. So, your videos were very interesting to us and we have learned from watching them today. Thank you for making such great videos and I look forward to watching many more! God bless!
Awesome video guys! You guys are such hard workers. That is one beautiful garden! Thanks for taking us along to the farmers market finale! Thanks Erin & Mike!
Great Farmers Market season - Congratulations to your family and to all the other vendors for their hard work and dedication. Great content in this video. Thank you.
Another great video by Our Wyoming Life. Thanks so much glad to here how successful the farmers market is. Not only for the Ranch but for the local economy as well. Hope its not to cold out the Its raining here today with temps in the mid 60's. Have a great day. God Bless!!!
Oh how I miss the Wyoming snow and winter storms!!! Here in the Seattle WA area once winter comes in it seems like you never see a sunny day until next summer! Wyoming is blessed with winter storms that blow in (and out) but the leave sunny skies and ‘creaky’ snow ... not endless gray and mush if it snows!!!!
Have you ever thought of aquaponics? It's a really cool way to grow plants and produce fish in an indoor greenhouse. For you, I think the biggest problem would be in heating the greenhouse since you're also heating water but you can produce vegetables in the off-season if you figure it out. It gives whatever you put into it-if you work on it full time you can make a living off of it and if you just do it as a hobby you can make enough to put food on the table every once in a while that doesn't typically grow in Wyoming. If you're interested I've got a playlist about it. It's at least something that's cool to learn about
This was a fun video to watch and you provided some great information about what it takes to be successful at the farmers market. One of the big pluses of the farmers market is that it can be an excellent pathway for a beginning farmer/rancher. I was lucky to be invited to set up a stand at a large and very popular market a few years back in Anchorage Ak. We had amazing success and usually sold everything we brought with us that day. Every week it was not uncommon to get into a lengthy conversation with a young adult with questions about how to get into gardening, micro-farming, selling locally, soil, organics etc etc. But just like you pointed out, there are no free ride or short cuts and I am always happy when the snow comes and I can take a break. haha
Parents will be flying into Gillette tomorrow; week of sight seeing & then dad heads to Broadus for a mule deer hunt. He started going out in 1987, I've been out twice. Beautiful country you live in, dream to live in Montana.
Awesome video! There is nothing like fresh and local grown meat and produce! It tastes so much better and it feels good to support our local farmers and ranchers. We live in Cody, Wy and try to get to our farmers market every week. Will have to try and get over to Gillette when market starts back up.
love hearing about your farmers market and how it helps people out im also happy that it helps your farm. Look forward to your next Video. thank you Erin and mike and little ones.
You guys have one heck of a deal going on there! Very impressive. Thanks for the awesome video as usual, and I look forward to seeing more. All the best from the Denny's!
A very honest presentation of what happens on the ranch. You are so right about the fluctuation of cattle prices and the impact it has on a ranch income. We hope you continue to persevere and grow at the farmers market. Thank you.
Snow falling, indoors farmer’s market and pumpkin painting, what could make a better day. Great video, on to more cold weather activities to come can’t wait. 👍🏻
More power to you guys. I don't have the patience for Farmers Market, or to tend to the high tunnels as well as Erin does. My Philosophy is if a few weeks at the end of the season don't hurt anything. But I'm not growing stuff like you guys are. That table at Farmers Market was gorgeous!
I'm loving your channel!! I'm a successful business owner. With 3 kids, there's never enough money!!! I have a booth at an antique mall that does very well (most months) and adds $$$ to our families budget. My point is, like you, it's critically important to make $$$ anyway you can!! By the way, your Farmers Market "spread" looked amazing...now I'm hungry!!!
Oh my Erin is a amazing baker they all look so yummy it sad to alot of people I want to see some snow already you guy produce alot of amazing produce you are a much better grower than we are
Awesome presentation on your tables. Great looking veggies! Pumpkin painting was a good idea! It's getting a little chilly here in Ct. It was about 40 this morning. No sign of snow yet though. I can wait... hahaha.
Glad to see your hard work is paying off Mike and Erin. Making a commitment like that is never an easy one. But definitely worth it all in the end. Oh just little recommendation for your guys winter high tunnel. You should try a strawberry called a Ft Laramie. Very productive, big fruits, and very resistent too the cold. Have a great week.
Hey what I'm about to say remember im not complaining when the ad pops up when I click on your video I always watch it to the end I never hit skip but when I watched it to the end instead of it going to the video it went to another ad if you are putting two ads up the ok but if its TH-cam that is putting the second one up because they see I watch the whole ad then thats not right
We arent adding any more ads, its all TH-cams thing. We get to choose if we have ads run before the video. I have never seen two in a row, that is odd and a pain in the butt. I get it. Thanks Josh - Mike
@@OurWyomingLife its fine I don't care how many ads y'all put up I'll watch every one of them it was just odd that it had two back to back and I wanted to make sure y'all were getting the money for both and not just one
You're both good in business fundamentals. I like that pumpkin painting idea. Mike that truck should do more then 55 check to see if there is a governor on it.
“I already have a couple of full time jobs”. LMAO-literally! You kill me Mike. I love your humor. Erin, your gardens are so beautiful from the aerial shot.

Sometimes I wonder how we keep up. Thanks Melissa, hope all is well - Erin
Very impressive! I'm exhausted watching you both. Thanks for the video.
And what a great story you two bring!! Thanks for sharing it with me!!

I'm loving your channel!! I'm a successful business owner. With 3 kids, there's never enough money!!! I have a booth at an antique mall that does very well (most months) and adds $$$ to our families budget. My point is, like you, it's critically important to make $$$ anyway you can!! By the way, your Farmers Market "spread" looked amazing...now I'm hungry!!!
Oh my Erin is a amazing baker they all look so yummy it sad to alot of people I want to see some snow already you guy produce alot of amazing produce you are a much better grower than we are
Thank you for always starting my Sunday off with such wonderful videos! This one goes to one of my favorites! 👍
Thanks for sharing another page of your story.
Tell a bit of the history. I enjoyed listen to my grandad talk of his life on the farm and things that happened and his dad.
Good idea thanks Charley - Mike
It's neat that you list every ingredient on the market labels.
God bless u n ur family sir.
Thank you very much Elias - Mike
I just find it amazing what you have accomplished. I built 2 horse farm with 3 horses. And have destroyed my health.
My hubby & I enjoyed this video! Beautiful products at your booth!
Thank you Lisa - Mike
Great video! Hope all is well on the farm! Have a great rest of the day - Everett and Lachlan
Thanks boys! - Mike
There is gold in these old videos
We have been binge watching your videos and this one is a favorite! Erin is AMAZING!!!!
Awesome presentation on your tables. Great looking veggies! Pumpkin painting was a good idea! It's getting a little chilly here in Ct. It was about 40 this morning. No sign of snow yet though. I can wait... hahaha.
Wow, winter comes fast in your neck of the woods.
Have you thought about wholesaling the left over crops to restaurants and local grocery stores?
Erin does some sale to restaurants and hopefully we can save all we can. Thanks - Mike
6:24 what a scene! Great video!
Thank you - Mike
Glad to see your hard work is paying off Mike and Erin. Making a commitment like that is never an easy one. But definitely worth it all in the end. Oh just little recommendation for your guys winter high tunnel. You should try a strawberry called a Ft Laramie. Very productive, big fruits, and very resistent too the cold. Have a great week.
Wow! Those vegetables are amazing.
Great videos and great ending
Thank you so much - Mike
Fun to watch, brings me to when I was a kid playing simfarm on my PC. Sure would like to get out of LA sometime and see Wyoming farm live for a week.
Hey what I'm about to say remember im not complaining when the ad pops up when I click on your video I always watch it to the end I never hit skip but when I watched it to the end instead of it going to the video it went to another ad if you are putting two ads up the ok but if its TH-cam that is putting the second one up because they see I watch the whole ad then thats not right
We arent adding any more ads, its all TH-cams thing. We get to choose if we have ads run before the video. I have never seen two in a row, that is odd and a pain in the butt. I get it. Thanks Josh - Mike
@@OurWyomingLife its fine I don't care how many ads y'all put up I'll watch every one of them it was just odd that it had two back to back and I wanted to make sure y'all were getting the money for both and not just one
I truly admire you.
Yes it is
Thanks john - Mike
I agree, very informative, well done video!
Thank you very much - Mike
Wonderful video, great tribute to all the hard work
Thank you very much Tony, Hope all is well! - Mike
You're both good in business fundamentals. I like that pumpkin painting idea. Mike that truck should do more then 55 check to see if there is a governor on it.
thanks for sharing the video
Thank you Jim - Mike
