Finding my new Morning Routine | VLOG
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ก.ย. 2024
- Today, I’m taking you along as I find my new morning routine and share a glimpse into life on our farm. Each morning starts with getting our self-serve farmstand ready, which has become my daily joy. We stock it with seasonal delights like strawberry banana bread, cowboy candy, and honeysuckle syrup. It’s been thrilling to see how popular these items have become, especially after our grand opening where we sold out multiple times!
I'll also introduce you to the latest addition to our homestead - a flock of adorable baby chicks. We’ve got a mix of breeds including leghorns, Bard Rock, silkies, and more. They’re settling into their new mobile coop, which lets them enjoy the fresh grass outside.
In the garden, I’m sharing my watering strategies. We use an oscillating sprinkler system to ensure deep watering for strong roots. It's amazing how much difference a good watering schedule makes for healthy plants! T-Post Sprinkler: amzn.to/3VkILey
Lastly, I’ll show you around our beautiful pasture. The diverse grasses and wildflowers make it a serene place, though we do have to manage some wildlife, like raccoons, to keep everything running smoothly. Plus, I'll give you a sneak peek at our newly mowed paths and some surprises we’ve encountered along the way. Join me for a fun and productive morning on the homestead!

So interesting! Thx for sharing. Do U ship? I’d love to try some syrups. Love the farm stand! You two are such hard workers!
We may someday when we get our website finished.
Your patio day bed looks so cozy. I just sent picture to hubby as i want one for our covered porch.
Oh MAN, I am also enjoying your retirement!!
100000% ❤❤❤
Aaaahhh, the good ol' days when neighbors would honk as they passed by!!!
I know you retired but I think your year off from the garden has given you a new appreciation for your property. I didn't realize it was so huge and beauty as far as the eye can see. Breathtaking!
I was absolutely thrilled to see and hear about your Farmstand! I will never get to come personally so it was a joy to have you share it. I just love the enthusiasm in your voice.
Rachel, you are so poetic. And it’s such a calming walk in the morning with you. I appreciate your love of your garden and nature and you seem so calm. Retirement looks good on you.😊
15:30, I love the two veronica plants I have in the perennial flower row of my vegetable garden. My son and I will sit in the garden for almost a hour to watch all the bees it attracts. A definite favorite.❤️
Never obnoxious to talk about your dreams! ❤️ Fellow dreamer
Hello Rachel and Todd, Greetings from Australia! I love your new morning routine. Watching you inspires me to work in my garden.
In Queensland we have problem possums and occasionally my husband relocates one. We always cover the trapped animal with a blanket on the cage, before it is relocated to its new area early in the morning so it has time to find a new home before night. It upset me to see the raccoon in a cage in the sun. I'm trusting all worked out OK.
Possums are great for eating thousands of ticks.
Oh, Rachel, I so enjoyed this video. I love your paths and all the assortment of God’s blooms
I found once I retired I couldn’t figure out how I had time to work 😂. I think I move slower and at a more intentional pace. I love it!! Thirty five years was enough for me.
I´m so glad you´re loving your new life, it looks so peaceful.
When it comes to the Mulberry syrup, you could make a little sign explaining the numerous ways it can be used, the same way you described it in the video. That would help.
I think that’s a great idea. Or a printed flyer the customer could take with them. I bought sunchokes at a farmers market and they gave me a flyer with tips/tricks and a recipe. It was really helpful.
Maybe you could put a few small samples out so folks could try it and see how delicious it is?
Excellent ideas for marketing!
I love the pasture paths! Remind Todd that there are no true straight lines in nature!
I sure hope that you won't harm the Momma Racoon. Please release her someplace else. Also, don't leave the trap in the sun too long. They can overheat. Please be kind.
I love your pasture and the wild flowers! And your mulberry juice looks wonderful!
Oh I just adored the walk through. Congrats on the farm stand. You certainly look like your relishing the start of your retirement.
I haven’t followed your videos for over a year and wow-a farm stand how cool is that..can’t wait to go back and watch all your videos on my NoC shift tonight
THANK YOU, RACHEL for bringing us along for the tour. Beautiful, relaxing and inspiring. Thank you Todd for being patient with the editing. We don't want to miss anything. Lol. Blessings to you both.
We all are enjoying your retirement Rach!! I love to see what you put in your farmstead.
You're not obnoxious about your dream at all❤
Sorry, Todd but I really enjoy Rachel talking about everything.
Ditto
Don't listen to these people Todd! Lots of us love the package deal of both of you!
I think your new morning routine is fitting you well and you look amazing, relaxed and so peaceful!! Your farmstand is awesome, and please keep sharing your stand with us. I love watching a dream come true. Your garden looks great, and I LOVE walking with you through your beautiful pasture!
Love the flag! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Wish I lived close to come by your stand. It’s adorable. (And you are, too!) 😍
I love how you made the paths it’s so pretty and comforting/fun like!! I also love the colors of your home. I noticed them when you were on the porch. Your kids are so blessed to have you and Todd and such a home to gather in as a family through life.
I appreciate the peacefulness of this video 🤗☺️
Well, how fun was that? Your property is just beautiful. Thank you, Rachael. And thank you Todd.
I love your farm stand! Beautiful! I love seeing all your dreams come true! You are a blessing Rachel!
Starting out your day with the Lord is the best way to start your day ❤ Mornings are the best! Full of hope and peace.
OMG your farmstand looks AMAZING!!!! I am soooo jealous of the locals who can come visit the shop. You are going to be sooooo busy :)xxx
I love to see what’s on your farm stand everyday. Thank you for sharing it!
I love hearing about what you are stocking your farmstand with and what is selling well. Eventually we will have one up, its always been a dream of ours. ❤
I love that you start your day with reading your Bible . Finding peace through faith. Thanks be to God. Thanks for sharing your dream.
Rachel, this has been so fun seeing you as a retired lady! Your joy, peace & contentment, so lovely! I love how you talk to yourself while walking your property, I do the same thing when I'm in my yard.😂 My neighbors probably think I'm a little cuckoo! 😅 Don't care, I'm my own best company. 😁❤👍
You are looking soooo in your element. So peaceful, so happy. Retirement really suits you, Rachel. And I am so jelly!!!!!! If all the things line up, I am hoping to retire at the end of this year. Fingers and toes crossed. I can't wait!!!!
Your paths are perfect! Love them.
Love love your stand. & yes I also am loving your retirement😊
I love that you are doing your dream ! It gives us pleasure at watching you fulfill something you wanted to do ! So much fun! You go girl!
I appreciate your metaphorical and metaphysical approach to the garden this year. It's full of zen and whimsy and it sings to me! 🌸❤🌺
Thank you for sharing your self-serving Farmers stand with us! ❤ and congratulations on retirement 🤗
Thankyou for a view of farm stand !!!
You have a simple and attainable dream that requires your time and attention. Your love for your property makes that dream something you should talk about.
You glow with peace and happiness.
I love your retirement for you❤ What a peaceful way to spend some of your day Rachel!
I loved every second of this. Your joy is contagious!
So nice you are enjoying what you love to do, that's the best way to retire!! Enjoy your best life!!
What a beautiful place to spend time with God! I would so visit your farm stand if I didn’t live in Colorado.
Your farm stand is beautiful. It was nice meeting you both today 😊See you again soon. ~Jamie
I love mulberries. I had a tree at my house 3 houses back and hope I can have one when we hopefully buy property next year 🤞I love the chatty show and tell. I love seeing what makes people excited about their gardens.
Mulberry syrup is amazing! I even make iced matcha latte with mulberry syrup!
I do that too. I use a tuna fish can and when it’s full, I know it’s right to edge for sure.
I just made some buttermilk cheddar chive biscuits for breakfast sandwiches with my chives. I love using whatever is coming in ! And I love waiting for the next thing to come in. Your farmstand is beautiful!
The Farmstand is beautiful!!! ❤ Also, I love these exploratory & explaining chatty videos. I also like the meandering pathways! It brings intrigue 😅
OMG mulberry syrup sounds divine
I love this new wonderful life for you!
What an amazing retirement!! I’m so happy to see your little roadside farm stand!! So exciting! Love all your things!!🌸🌸🌸
Thanks Rachel, it was so lovely to start my morning with a look at your morning routine! Have a lovely day!
I love all of the talking! hahaa Super relaxing to start the morning with you .. New Subscriber here! TYSM
Oh Rachel, all the property is gorgeous.. I love you stand, wish I was closer. Enjoy...
I have sold 10 pints of my Cowboy Candy to a co worker . My coworkers love my canning .
The grasses mesmerize me too! I have the same fields. I love my cows but kinda wish they wouldn't come yet and eat it all😂 I love it when the wind blows❤
I just retired after 35 years and I appreciate your video!
If you are at the stand, give samples of the mulberry syrup. Tiny little plastic cups.
Really enjoyable video please please show your market stand more❤❤❤
I’m so happy that your farm stand is doing well, Rachel. Congrats on a job well done! Also, as an avid book lover, I really wanted to know what you were reading. I saw the Bible, but was wondering about the book we saw.
This is so awesome! I wish I lived close so I could come to your stand..
Retirement perfection ❤
So glad you are afforded a fulfilling retirement.
The space you share reflects your commitment and love.
I hope this is the best Father's Day weekend and your stand becomes a time honored tradition people enjoy.🌸🌻🦋
Love seeing you enjoying all the little beautiful things in life. Everyday I have gratitude for even the smallest thing I believe you do too. You just seem so peaceful. God bless
Love your front porch! So peaceful!
I didn't know lilies were edible! Love this live and learn stuff. I miss my neighborhood farmstand. It was such a Blessing when my transportation was a bicycle and scooter. The good old days. Peace and Blessings to you!🌻
Beauty everywhere you turn. Thanks for sharing Rachel and Todd.
By the way when you ate the whole thing, Daylily flower, I was surprised and amazed.

Hubby had to make room. I did not catch him. Just found the evidenace in the trash.
We are old so no biggie. We are blessed.
Your farm stand is beautiful, very good job Rachel!
Wow! Rachel the Earth Mother! I would welcome glimpses into the day to day operation of the farmstand!
It's always nice to see people doing their daily devotional and Bible reading. That's how I start my day as well. Wow, you two get so much accomplished every day! Your farm stand looks great and I wish I didn't live hundreds of miles away. Blessings to you and your family. 💙💙💙
I am truly jealous of your mulberries! We just don't have enough heat here for them, and they're so luscious. 💚
Rachel zen is contagious. This was the most comforting, relaxing, enjoyable video I’ve seen in a long time. But I will have to say the both of you have a very calming quality about you. Enjoy all your videos but this one takes the cake.
This is by far my favorite video. The joy and relaxation on your face says it all. You are truly relaxed and content. I could walk that paradise every morning! What a joy it is to watch a dream come true. Bless you. I’m thinking this would make a beautiful weekly video during the growing season. Morning Walks with Rachael.
I love when you share your beautiful farm stand. That is a dream of mine too! My daughter and I love to bake bit I never thought of selling our sweet treats that way. I need to find out if I need a license to sell baked goods in Illinois.
I am enjoying your new adventures with the farm stand, any and all baking videos will be wonderful. Renea over on Little Village Homestead, has a farm stand too, she sell all kinds of things too spice blends, cookies, brownies, bread, onion bread, bean soup.mixes, snack mix, with various cereals, jam, freeze dried soup mix, I guess the possibilities are endless.
I just love Renea! New subscriber here from Maine! ❤😊
Envious of your honeysuckle! They only seem to have lasted here a couple of weeks before we were able to harvest them for making ice cream.
Glad you are enjoying your retirement. I have retired in March and it's been tough to adjust for me. Yes I have a wonderful garden n pool. I love the outdoors. Harvesting a lot of things but truth be told I get bored some days.
Thank you for showing the farm stand. I just love it! Loved the walk through your garden/pasture. God bless you all!
Wish we lived nearby to check out the Farmstand. It looks great!!
I really enjoy you videos and I have learned and used some of you methods on our homestead!! Thank you!!
Are your mulberries very sweet? This is the first year at my house that my mulberry trees have actually produced fruit? I don't think they are very sweet, but I have heard that they have some good nutritional value. Exit ramps, too funny! Your retirement morning looks glorious to me!! I enjoy any day I don't have to be at work and I can be home. The more I watch people going out and picking flowers to bring into their home, the more I know I need to up my flowers as well. I have just mostly been concentrating on the food. I will have blackberries for the first time this year. They are all over my bushes and I'm just waiting on them to ripen. Looking forward to going out and picking them, even on the mornings I have to come to work. I'm so happy for you.
Oh my gracious! What a beautiful video. Todd the editing was fantastic!! Rachel you are an absolute doll. I am loving your videos even more, if that's possible. You two have always been one of my favorite channels. I'm just so happy to see you so at peace. Its beautiful. God bless and keep you both always. ~Lisa
Your farm stand is so cute! 🥰
Hi love this editing 💕 You inspired me a couple of years ago to up side down my life... so went from 120 000 canadian$ to ... hihi now doing the homesteading life present for my husband and daughter and maybe one day go back. I just wanted to let you know if you do see this that you and your husband do make a difference in this world. You are both beautiful people ❤️ thank you from the bottom of my heart ( sorry for the written mistake I'm avery French Acadian from NB canada) 😂
Also from NB here !! 😊
Yeah! What a beautiful province we have!
Love you talking and talking sorry Todd lol
Loving the STAND.
How lovely…..love your front porch!
What if you typed up a little card for suggested uses for the mulberry syrup? You could just stack them up by the syrup. People might be enticed to try it if they had a few ideas of how to use it. Just a thought. I love the farm stand!!
Love the meadow tour! Also the bird songs all through your video! Maybe you should release this as a relaxing video for all that need it! ❤
Rachel, you appear to be so joyful since your retirement. Praying for Gods continued blessings on you!
you look at peace with life
@Rachel put you a little picture and Note showing the Mulberry Plant and its usages and benefits, it may kick start some purchasing. INFORMED CUSTOMERS are apt to buy something they knew little about.
Never stop talking about your dream! We love the Farmstand!
I wish I was your neighbor! I'd be buying things from you often!! Have you thought about selling any of your freeze dried foods?? I love how you are spending your retirement!! You look soo happy!!
Omgosh your farm stand is EVERYTHING ❤ I’m curious what you guys did with the momma raccoon you trapped?
Love your stand😊
