The early morning choring starting with nothing but wide angle shots or full frames and only morning sounds and build up, leeding into the morning breakfast was just stunning to watch
love the loyal boy too

My wife has been trying to convince me for that last two weeks that we need to buy a hazelnut farm that's for sale on a nearby island we'd love to live on. Her idea was to inoculate the trees with truffle spore and convert the operation into a truffle/hazelnut farm. Your video is making me seriously consider it. Lovely work. Top stuff and all that!
I'm very curious if you have bought that farm? cheers :)
Did u buy the farm ?
My blood pressure has dropped by 50% watching this and listening to the scerene voice over. Lovely.
Learned something new today. Thank you FRL. All the best to you and your menagerie.
Fascinating. So interesting to learn about truffles. I had no idea.
Such a joy to watch and learn from you. I knew nothing about truffles. Now I want to know more. I'm excited that another sailing channel has purchased a farm. Looking forward as Malin, Johan, and Vera join you and bring farm life from Sweden 🇸🇪 and you from Australia 🇦🇺. Wonder which sailing channel is next to buy a farm? Thank you for sharing truffle farming and your morning farm chores.
Yes Swedish farm life will be lovely to watch.
Amazing cinematography, I could feel the chill in the air just watching the end of the video. In Canada summer is coming to an end, and while the forecast is for a high of 29 c today, the crisp air of fall can be felt early in the morning and evenings. While I detest winter in Canada, there is something I absolutely love about doing chores in the morning with that kind of crisp air and bite of an early morning frost.
Thanks, it looks like that unique touch that you have is still alive and well. (From the sailing videos)
Hi guys thank you for taking the truffle farm That was wonderful love your videos keep up the good work Cliff from Logan city Queensland Australia
Leanne is amazing with her truffles 😊
Nice Video - Thanks for Sharing your experiences - Very peaceful / Settling
THAT was VERY COOL!!! I Have never Tasted Truffles This was a VERY cool Episode I Learned More than I ever knew about Truffles... THANK you SO Much for this Episode VERY Interesting NOW I want to try Truffles🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hello again. Haven't seen you guys in quite a while. Glad to see you're doing well. I didn't realize that it ever really got that cold in Australia. Best wishes from Tennessee. Y'all b good. 😁
Fascinating, I also didn’t know it got that cold in WA.
Absolutely love all your videos! Really appreciate all the work and time it must take to film and edit your lovely lives to share with your followers. I started watching your channel when you were still sailing and fell in love. I am so grateful you have continued to share your beautiful life. Thanks! I always get excited when I see a new one pop up.
Sending much love and admiration from Texas
That was so different, brilliant video about something I knew little about, thank you.
Truffles have always confounded me... I love them... My Gran used to make truffle butter and oil .. I had forgotten about storing your truffles with your eggs... Yummy!! I've been away camping.. found many yummy mushrooms foraging on my trip...we looked for truffle but no..lol!!
Thanks for sharing your lives with us ✌🏼💗😊❣️
Nice one. Strangely calming watching the silence of morning chores.
Very interesting subject with outstanding footage...
another FRL unique and very interesting episode, thanks!
Heya, oh wouw a truffel farm nice. I never thought about freezing temps in australia, that's new for me
Great to watch you two
I do the same thing with my chook eggs, straight into my jacket pockets. Problem is on the way back I walk past things that need doing and get side tracked. Then later in the day stick my hand in my pockets and get a handful of what could be used for scrambled eggs, except for shell, assorted grit and fluff
Yes 1 egg was harmed in the making of this video and prior to the eating bit 😂
The stretch from 12:40 ish to 16:20 ish is just by far some of the most relaxing content I've ever watched on TH-cam. That filming style and "quiet natural homestead, here's a morning with the animals" vibe is something I adore when Simple Living Alaska does it, and it warmed my heart so much to watch you two's take on that style here too!
Cheers you two. Keep up the incredible stuff :)
What I (Pascale) have seen of the Simple Living Alaska channel I have loved. Maybe I took some inspiration in putting this one together from them both. I am planning on incorporating more similar footage in future episodes. So glad you appreciated it and thank you for your support on Patreon Josh!
PMSL at Troys complex analysis at 17:21 gold! Thanks for sharing another great Ep!
Peaceful
Very interesting to say the least and the end of the video shows off the life of a busy beaver tending the livestock which is the never ending cycle of farm life. You two have really got it going. Thumbs up to you.
Wow! Awesome video. I remember having fresh truffle risotto back when I used to frequent my favorite steakhouse. It is a truly unique experience.
Superb photogaphy and editing, beautiful colours around the edge of the log. You rarely fail to amaze. Good Show.
Love that little black dog following you around everywhere. It seems once it figures out what you're doing he says "all okay here" and then goes back to it's business.
That's Troy's mum's Staffordshire Terrier, Dax. I've lost my shadow now he's gone home after his 6 week sojourn at the Ranch.
As alway, Thanks for sharing. It's always a pleasure to see you both. Stay healthy and happy, see you soon. Cheers
loving your new adventures. This vlog was brilliant and verry interesting.
Thanks!Have watched all your videos and find them highly enjoyable as well as informative. I loved the sailing videos, and now love the homestead videos just as much. You are two very admirable people living a very admirable lifestyle, on the sea and on land. Please keep making the videos, they provide a welcome alternative to most of the videos out there.
Thank you so much for staying with us Jcat and giving thanks for the video! We put a lot of effort in to produce a professional episode each week and it really means a lot to us when folks like yourself give back in appreciation.
Cheers to you. ..
What a fascinating and informative insight into Australian truffle farming 😊👍
One word - idyllic 🥰
Frosty morning #FarmLife ASMR 10/10 🤌
Super informative and insiprational truffle adventure, I would absolutly want to leverage the tree crops for additional income. Small boutique vineyard and cellardoor winery would be a perfect venture along side the truffles. Make friends with a local Cheese maker and you have yourself a great lifestyle business, add in a cabin and some camp sites and leverage the tourists.
I'm living the dream in my head right now... 🤤
Absolutly killed it this episode my friends, out of the park!
Hi Troy & Pascale, love your videos, they’re varied and so interesting. All the best from the UK.
Love you guys.
Fascinating
Another fantastic video guys! Thanks for sharing with us!
Funny coming from Canada , I never think of Australia being frosty, but here u are….
Nowhere near as cold as Canada but that was definitely a frosty week for sure..Hopefully that's behind us until next year
Excellent as usual!!!
Very interesting video.
Outstanding!
Great video as always
Never had truffles. I will be hunting for some. May be difficult in Montana in late summer.
Lucky ,lucky you
Ive never had any truffles but I hear nothing but good things from those that eat them, In France they use pigs to find them as well as dogs. I don't think I would relish taking a truffle from a hungry pig though...Great Video !!
Agreed
Very interesting. Can you describe the taste? Never had one but my imagination is fired up!!
They tend to taste different to everyone. They taste "truufly" It's actually more of an aroma than a taste. Like trying to describe how fesh herbs taste is hard.
Nice goin m8s, truffles are something, I haven't thought about much. I saw a vlog about a pig hunting truffles, the same as the curly dog. The pig trod on a few toes. Keep up the good work and stay vertical Eh!
I always wondered How could yo l you stop a pig eating the truffles? They are just so greedy
Such an adorable truffle pup.
Very interesting vid guys, 👍
You still have at time of filming frost, and in my part of Canada we will within a few short weeks. Now I want to try truffle eggs. :)
Hopefully the frost has lifted now coming in to Spring. We shall see
Thanks guys for a great and informative video. Never had the pleasure of smelling a truffle and not sure if I would like it or not. If its anything like a mushroom - I love them cooked but cant stand them raw, nor the smell. I have fibromyalgia and am super sensitive to smells...maybe I should come back as a truffle dog in my next life? BTW goats like to climb. if you dont have that toolbox where it is for a reason maybe you could move it so the goats can stand on top of that other log. They might try to climb the box but it would be slippery with their hooves. cheers from closeby.
i had to stop the video and look up what truffles are .i guess i'm not much of a farmer myself. thanks for the hunting experience
Informative!
Just asking when you two going sailing again
17:47 I will name him "Sad Eyes Von Give Me Food"
Quoting someone quoting someone quite a few episodes ago: "How's the serenity."
240223 Still very interesting. Thank you again.
Believe me, mashed potatoes made with truffle oil is wonderful!
Potato gratin with sliced truffles also delicious
So what's the plan guys.? Inoculated oak saplings.?. An idea I picked up when last in Uk, was cultivating mushrooms using short lengths of apple wood. Splitting 75mm diameter branches and applying the mushroom spores of your choice, oyster, shitake, button, whatever, the length of each half, and clamp or nail the 2 halves together. Place in hot water cupboard, until they start appearing, then sell at your local Farmers Market....not as mature mushrooms, but still as immature product. The feedback I heard was the customers seemed to get a buzz out of seeing the mushrooms show up to the point of harvest. Yep you can call me the
fun-guy. Thanks again for sharing your experiences Troy and Pascale. I'm loving these episodes of "The Good Life." Until next time, take care.
We have ordered some mushroom plugs and no shortage of blue gum branches to inoculate this Spring. Watch this space!
I came for the sailing. I stayed for the real.
Tea: I've switched to using Argentine loose leaf "yerba mate" instead of black, green or herbal teas. It has mild caffeine and is lovely w lemon. Brewed just like loose leaf tea instead of the whole prescribed Argentine gourd and bombilla method. Mmmmm👍🍵🍋. Is it available in W.A.? P.S. Now are you thinking training your pup to hunt truffles like Sully?
I will look into it. No plans to make Jet a truffle dog, yet
You typed free range SAILING in the video title. I guess you are missing the sea. :)
Haha old habits die hard
I hope they achieve good prices, given the astronomical prices to the public.
They do ok but they are beholden to wholesale price before grading. They will do better once they can sell direct to the public next year.
@@FreeRangeLivingWhat wholesale price do they get ?
Seeing the labor involved in keeping a farm with animals, how much free time can be found in a day? With the frost on everything now, is the garden a thing to prepare for the next growing season, and was there enough to keep until next year? Two questions of many, but most will be answered by watching. This is a very enjoyable experience for me to do. Thank you.
We're definitely pretty busy looking after the animals, filming, editing, growing food and fixing the property. There are frost resistant crops you can grow but we've only just started a garden this spring. We'll be exploring that next winter!
just a word of caution those goats horns can so easily cause nasty eye injury when they throw their head back castrating rubbers can be one way of removing them
She is a very placid little goat so we don't plan on removing the horns at this stage
Divinely Yummylish !
Pasqui doing all the work... Some bearded bloke pointing a camera.. wouldn't happen at my place!
Camera was on a tripod! Troy is normally doing all those morning chores but was injured in that frosty morning so I had to pick up the slack!
Excellent Doco guys. Far too good for youtube imho. (edit. West Coast Eagles esky only good enough for holding batteries?)
That's right. This season anyway 😜
15:20 - Brrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Now you have goats and cats. Did I miss an episode where you introduced them?
Yup. Introduced goats last ep and cats the episode before that.
😎👍
Pre historic dinosaur turds.
While evolution has given us morels.
The finely crafted #1 place in the mushroom rank.
Whatch the movie Haute Cuisine for the love of truffles. Free Range Living is far more interesting than free range sailing. The clips with no talking are fantastic. Your growth in movie-making is impressive.
That depends on one's point of view.. for the most part, I find the sailing far more interesting. But then, I can't imagine anything worse than being tied down in one place.
Oh thanks so much. We are enjoying our new direction very much and we're glad it shows in the videos.
@@FreeRangeLiving - Don't get me wrong.. I also do enjoy watching your new direction, and learning new things from you both.. it's just the sailing speaks more to my wanderer's spirit.
If everyone wanted the exact same thing, we'd have even bigger problems! We understand this won't suit a lot of fans, though we are happy with how many have stayed 'on board.'
Did the two Boys call each other first to make sure they had matching shirts, jeans and shoes?😂

I really don't enjoy the smell of truffles, it's a smell that is far too strong for my tastes. I lived in rural France for a few years and at a certain time of year some areas reeked really bad, when I found out what the smell was I couldn't believe that people enjoyed it although they didn't seem to notice that the woodland and surrounding areas smelled of truffles ! When I found out they used dogs to sniff them out and pigs too I was surprised but never tried to find any myself because I couldn't bear to be near the smell !
They aren't for everyone!
The truffle lesson was extremely interesting. Thanks. To return the favor, here is what any decent holistic veterinarian or book about holistic/naturpathic cat care will tell you regarding what to feed cats.
Give them wet food unless you want health problems (urinary tract/kidney issues) down the road. People need to give their cats as close to what they would get on their own in Nature. Raw home prepared muscle meat, liver and other organs and bone or bone meal is the closest to optimal/ ideal. I give 90 percent muscle meat, 5% liver and 5% other organs and one teaspoon of bone meal for every 1pound of the meat mixture and I always add water because a freshly killed prey animal is going to be mostly water. At another time I give a tablespoon or two of raw cucumbers chopped up or steamed or boiled broccoli, zucchini, summer squash, winter squash, sweet potato or winter squash or pumpkin.
You can find Raw food for cats that has been freeze dried and all you need to do is add warm water to let it re-hydrate and serve it. Or there are companies that make raw frozen food that you defrost and serve as needed. Next best after these three options is canned food without a lot of additives. Look for a brand with as few additives as possible. Save your semi-moist and dry food to give them as a treat. But I would just throw them out. I use cold cuts - usually turkey slices from the deli as treats. Also do NOT give cats dairy. Dairy is TERRIBLE for their immune system and respiratory tract.
I know from experience. My first cat as an adult I did all the wrong things: fed dry food recommended by the orthodox vet, had the cat neutered too young; had him get all the vaccinations and he developed a terrible urinary tract conditon (FUS) and had to endure excrutiating pain being cathetarized when his urinary tract blocked. He only lived to 9 years of age.
My next cat I adopted at 3 years old had a history of FUS also except with him, I did the OPPOSITE of everything I did with my first cat (fed a raw diet; avoided the vet and vaccinations except for one rabies vaccine which was bad enough) and he lived to be 18 and would have lived longer if he hadn't had to experience inexperienced incompetent veterinary care (long story). All subsequent cats have benefitted from a raw diet and whole herbs when necessary. This works so well that they are even able to fend off fleas due to having a healthy immune system where most people have vets give their cats a toxic spot on flea repellent program.
Thanks for this. The cats and dog get raw food at night but I give them half a cup of kibble in the morning. Once they are a little older I might skip out the kibble and give them all just one raw meat meal at night.
@@FreeRangeLiving If kibble in the AM is the best you can do, at least DRENCH it in water before you give it to them. Make sure each piece is soaked in water. I would only give one or two pieces of dry cat food as an unhealthy junk food treat. It is safe to say that dry kibble for kittens who need good nutrition is the equivalent of a Lucky Charms breakfast for human children.
Miss you on the water.
😀👍👍👍❤
I just wonder who the first person was that saw this thing that resembles a large turd and then smelled it and ultimately ate it ?
Are these truffles native too Australian or are they invasive ?
They are introduced from Europe
Notl more invasive than all other farmed fruit and vegetables in Australia
So how long will it be before the first Free Range Truffles?
Not 1 Fun Guy (fungi) joke out of Troy?? Opportunity missed lol
I know right
:)
Hey but lagotto romagnolo come from romagna were i live......ciao
Amazing. They are a very cute and clever dog!
Jesus is Alive he love us all you heard the loud voice that you couldn't see get white and look up to heaven
