Is It Weird That I Don't Live On My Farm?

- I get a lot of questions about where we live. Hopefully this video will answer those questions and so much more of our vision for the property. #farmstay #vacationrental #shorttermrental #farmstories
Love when you say ‘it is a choice.’ Absolutely right. When you make choice, you single-handedly go for it. And in the end you reap what you sow.
That’s what Jason @coghillfamilyfarm has done, lived in a Fifth Wheel trailer, while building their home of their dreams for the future…they have 40 acres. Their previous home they built and was gorgeous but they only had 7 useable acres out of 15…not enough room to grow vegetables/fruit and add animals.
Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise with us, Chad! Here’s hoping the orchard geese mentality comes back soon! Cannot wait to see their new home 🏡
I hope so! I have a design idea in my head...gonna be fun. The sooner I can get them on grass the better. Thanks u so much Leona.
I hope things ease up soon in Canada and the U.S. My husband and I would love to come stay at your farm stay. Our passports are up to date, but we are still concerned about COVID restrictions and unrest. We will vacation in the states most likely this year once again.
Yeah us too we haven’t gone anywhere since the mandates. It’d be pretty cool if anyone watching our channel stated at the farm. Fun times ahead.
Cool walk around mate, very nice improvement to the property. 👍
Thanks 👍 and thnx for the visit.
Glad to see the story. Fun times following you around. Thanks for sharing. Becky from Kansas City
Our pleasure! Always fun for me too.
Tractors are super expensive! I'm glad you and your wife took the leap to live this amazing life, in spite of its challenges.
A couple of years ago I rented a cabin with my family and it had a fairly large bathroom, with a large panoramic window and a jacuzzi. You could sit in the tub and enjoy the spectacular view! The rest of the house was nothing special but we still remember that bathroom. I don't know how expensive an investment like that would be, but it might be something to consider if you're building more rentals. I think it makes the place very attractive.
Very Nice 👍👍👍Thank you for sharing. Be safe. LOL Those geese biting the hand that feeds them
Haha yup, I hope they chill out a bit after nesting. Another issue is the 2 ganders are fighting over 1 female while the other female is left alone.
I have already much enjoyed watching your progress. We just sold our 5 acres we designed for horses and grew fruit and organic pollinator gardens. It was an amazing experience. I would love to visit one day!
That is awesome!
This was great!! Thanks so much for the tour! We look forward to visiting at some point
Thnx Darren. If this darn snow would melt I could get started on this new goose housing I gotta build...then the rabbitat. Always fun.
@@HiddenSpringFarm Can't wait to see what you do for the rabbit!!
@@ThorHavenFarm ha well I have a start of a plan but my unique visions keep making things more expensive. I’m trying to keep things in check. 😝
Good video, sir. I've been researching the farm stay vacation idea also. I'm on 38 rural acres in the foothills of the Ozarks NE Arkansas. I had already planted some fruit trees before learning about permiculture. This year we'll add the supporting layers for them.
Geese are aggressive. My mother told stories about how they were used to protect the watermelon fields in the Osceola, AR area in the early 60s. Mean little buggers! 🍉😱
Ozarks are beautiful, good tourism too right. We’re 5 mins from the ski hills. The rental is where we make most of the revenue on the farm. The geese used to just follow me around but this is their 1st breeding season and they’re getting a bit hot. I used “Inermis” honey locusts as nitrogen fixers cause they have no thorns. It’s just the start though I’ll be adding to it as we go. Appreciate you watching and commenting, thanks. Cheers, Chad.
Thx Chad, now I know the whole scoop of your farm, great plan! Sure makes sense to me.😍
Perfect!
Super video dear friend
Thank you so much 🙂
hahaha We're farmers who don't live on our farm! Nice to meet you! We have a flock of sheep and chickens at our 'home-less' homestead. 😬 We're also waiting to build our home there... You're pretty entertaining! Good luck on your channel!
That is awesome! Thanks so much for stopping by. I thought we were the only ones, but I guess it more common. Good luck to you folks.
property tax must be insane!
We’re in the same boat, but yours is stuck in an ice jam and ours is sinking in Spring rains…. We bought 45 acres in East Tennessee and we don’t live there either, well, not full time. We have a house we just built in Williamsburg, Va when we decided to upend our lives and become more resilient. I spend half my time in TN building infrastructure for the farm, while my wife finishes up her career at the end of this year. So, we won’t have any of the animals until 2023 and won’t be getting any cheeky geese after watching this. I’ll shoot Canada (sorry) Geese in the flyway for our meat. Like you, we have a renovated old (1860s) farmhouse on the property which we are thinking about renting when we build our retirement home starting either this year or next. In the meantime its focus on the food forest, apiary, pond, solar power generation, etc and you are right, it’s expensive getting back to the basics. We subscribed, and look forward to your journey. Cheers, Dan and Elle
Thanks so much. Sounds like you folks have a solid plan. I like the apiary too, our orchard and gardens made need some pollinators so bees might be in our cards too. Those geese used to just follow me around but that’s what nesting season does…very protective. Hope they go back being chill geese. Good luck in your journey. Chad.
It will be nice for you When you get your home built
Yeah my Darlin can't wait for that. It'll be cool to get to that stage, hopefully soon.
Nice place Chad. People moving out of the GTA has forced land prices up so fewer can afford this dream.
Very true Dave and they keep clearing farms and forests for housing developments. Thank goodness I already have my own little private piece of wilderness oasis.
Just tell your geese "I'll see YOU in the oven" (picture it). You'll discover those geese understand English :)
😂
Ill come work on the farm for free ❤
The feet on those birds would make some great bone broth. Though, I like to add beef bones and lamb bones if I can find them.
Ooooooo...this is a speziell situation.... you have our dream homestead.....but you live not in our dream homestead....😬🤔
I hope for you and your wife.....your dream cames soon.....
It must be exhausting ...to go to work ... and you drive 7 days a week..20 minutes ....to the dream homestead.....i hope ....you have enough energie🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks....for the honest story❤️
🇦🇹🙋♀️
We’re ok for now coming to the farm everyday, especially since we’re earning an income in the farm stay. Eventually we’ll build our own house somewhere on the property just not sure when.
@@HiddenSpringFarm i hope for you and your wife....our dreamhaus come soon....so...you have a Dream live ...in the dreamhaus....on (?in?) your dream homestead 🤩❤️❤️❤️❤️
🇦🇹🙋♀️
