Chad - I love your channel. I love the way you explain everything. Giving great advice and sharing your story ( but only what you want to - that’s important because people don’t need to know all. Most are terribly intrusive and criticize from what I’ve discovered over years of watching). It’s a peaceful life you and Remi live and share. That’s the best thing about your channel. Very little drama of negativity. You’ve had your share of heartache, but not the staunch drama of anger, ridicule etc. that’s been permeating many channels lately. And I always learn something new - from gardening tips, to forest care, to animal personalities, to life in Ontario. Enjoy your day and thanks ever so much for being a peaceful place I can always look forward to coming. They’ll come a time when I too can visit your farmstead and see all for myself. Maybe even stay in the hobbit house after you build it! ❤
I completely agree. And even though people will always wonder about your private life, it really is off limits. Some show and tell more than others, but its their choice not ours how deep they go. I LOVE how you broke all that down. What you give us is enough. You and your lovely wife are very loving and caring to your animals and us. So thank you 2 for what you give. 😊❤
@@StephanieMcCamon I got tickled when he said, "it's really none of their business!" When referring to what he did for a living or for work… and I whole heartedly agreed with him… it isn't anyone's business where he works or what he does other than The farm stuff he shares with us… I’m just glad to along for the ride :)
Compared to others I am newer subscriber. What I love most is this is real. No lies no changing the name of the video to get people to click on the same old stuff. It is so comforting and for us seniors it gives us a chance to enjoy stuff we can't do anymore. You do a great job!
Maintaining a sense of privacy is important for everyone! There's so many cases out there where people broadcast *everything* and it's a mess for them emotionally. It's not safe to have no boundaries or filters between yourself and your audience. The world's full of crazy folks, you never know what could happen. We're already very privileged to be here, having you share your lives with us. :)
@@CreditR01 yes I’ve seen lots of stories out there. TH-camrs kids being followed at school or random people just showing up at your home etc. people digging through your trash to find personal info too. In our case my opinion is if it’s farm related then it belongs in the channel if it’s not it stays out. A lot of farm channels have their kids in their videos and that’s ok, it’s their choice and of course it’s all part of their plan. Some of their kids even have their own channels now and have an automatic 100k subs just cause of their parents and that’s ok too it’s their choice.
I can't think of a harder working and deserving person/channel than yours, Chad. And apparently you're doing this while also maintaining a separate job. That is amazing! You're right, it's none of our business what you do in your private time. I have said it before, and I'll say it again; I hope and pray your channel makes it over that threshold of making you enough money so you can do this full time and can concentrate on the things you WANT to do rather than what you HAVE to do.
You have the best channel!! Tiny Homes are a big thing and would go great in your forest in the future. You have a kind and big heart. Don't let any subscribers be ugly to you. You're doing a wonderful job. Just don't let it become a job. Know what I mean. You keep being you. Love and best wishes for you and wife. Kisses for Olive and all the great kitties.
What a way to start my day! Father Goose can just stop anywhere, and any number of sweet, sweet animals seek you out to let you know how loved you are😎! You are pretty special, Chad, because animals always tell the truth ❣
You fill in your vlogs with enough content and energy and enthusiasm one doesn’t need to hear the background details of your private lives. You lead a productive and meaningful life that we can learn about without having to know every step you take outside the farm life.God bless.
@@Itsonlyasmr aww thanks, I do try to show such a wide variety of small farm life to keep everyone interested consistently. Still trying to always make improved videos
Yes you have changed, and yes, for the better. I enjoy very much seeing your beautiful farm - especially in the autumn when the leaves are all in color! Love the duck pond and how you treat your animals with such love and care. And what a joy to see your garden do so well. You are so creative with your buildings - there is much to learn and we all learn with you.
Your channel is doing well and always attracting people with animals particularly cats and dogs!! Certainly with me!! Fozzy is always helping you too 😹😻!
Good morning Chad and Remi, thank you for sharing todays video. Your channel is awesome, educational and fun.(my mom grew up in Mexico and she lived and work hard on the farm. ) I think of her when I watch your channel. Thanks for sharing! Greetings from USA🇺🇸
I hope you never feel like you aren't good enough, because you absolutely are the best how you are! Your farm-stay videos are the only ones I care to watch among all the other channels, and its so comforting just to see the same loving family of animals and people each time. :) so impressed with all you've created and so excited to follow along while you further your dreams on the farm.
I am falling head over heels for your channel. All of the animals are awesome to get to know but it's you and your beautiful wife that keeps me coming back! Bravo!
I just recently found your site and I am enchanted. I love what you are doing with your homestead and I particularly love how much you love your animals. Thank you for being there. Love your optimism
Great video as always. I think the reason why many people come back here is because of how genuine your content is. We're not looking for fancy mansion tours or your latest Lamborghini. I'm personally tired of watching people that turn up to just be terrible humans. By just you being you, and posting that lifestyle on the internet, it hopefully inspires more and more people to focus on what's really important in life and how wholesome a simpler life can be, so we can all stop thinking we're not doing enough by just living the best way we can. Don't pay too much attention to the negative trolls that roam the internet, even though I haven't seen many in your comments, I'm sure they will pop up and try to spoil the mood, if you focus on all the great comments I think those silly ones fade away. I dropped you a message request on the farm's instagram, I offered some more insight about the patreon route for your channel if that's something you'd like to read. Long time follower here and my husband and I continue to watch every single video of yours! 😊
Oh was that you eh, yes I did see it just haven't had any time to digest or think about it. Always so many things going on. Being able to inspire others just as I was inspired is one of the coolest effects of the channel. It's a great feeling knowing that somehow I can touch another's life in a positive way.
We love your videos so much.. thank you for sharing. Don’t know what else to say but your funny, caring, love of your wife. The animals are so lucky to have you as a furr and feather daddy 💜ps hi Dexter and olive ❤☺take care, remember so many of us adore your channel
Good morning Chad, Darlin, Ms.Olive, Claw Crew and all the animals of the Farm. I am recovering from surgery and watching you and all the animals bring such joy and peace to me. (I am doing fine) It is enjoyable watching you and your lovely wife achieve your dreams one day at a time. I really like seeing the results of your garden. Looks delicious. I don't follow any other channels as yours is the most interesting and of course, theirs doesn't have Ms. Olive and the Claw Crew. lol Don't stress out on replying to all the comments as you can spend that time with the animals, the farm and your Darlin. We know you care about your followers and that is good enough. Until the next time have a fun weekend. My Felix says MEOW to the Claw Crew.
Just a suggestion, catnip can be a happy spreader. The seed will go all over. I would put the catnip around the catio and it won’t become a nuisance in the raised beds and borders. Happy gardening!🦋🌺🐸
I really enjoy your videos, don't change them to much. Theres something really good x clean, with lovely content with your channel, i love seeing the Claw Crew x all your great animals ect. Thank you so much.
Bravo ! 👏 🎯 A very unique undertaking ! Thanks to your postings '' Inspiration Creek " still - flows ! IF you keep this ⬆up you'll be on the cover of " Better Farms & Homesteadz " 👨🌾👩🌾 . Stay PRIVATE , its Your Right ! Good Health 🥳
Morning Chad. It's wonderful seeing you interacting with your animals, especially the cats. You could probably make a killing on the 🍁 syrup biz. All those trees you have and with the lumber sales. Good to see you and Remi working hard. 😊
❤ I came across your channel on you tube by chance quite awhile back & became a subscriber. Now, I have my first grandchild who is 11 months old now and he loves watching your videos with me . He especially loves the kitties, but really likes the ducks and actually learned the word duck from me telling him what each animals are when you let them out the their enclosures. You & your darling have a wonderful farm with lovely animals, its so nice to watch your videos with my grandson Brixton. Would love to visit your farm & you & your darling seem like wonderful people.
I love your content and the way you take your time explaining everything. My favorite is when you film the cats and Olive, absolutely enjoy watching you interact with them. I also agree that it's nobody's business what you do for a living, only share what you are comfortable sharing. Thank you for keeping us up to date with your farm,
Fozzy, We had a cat just like you whilst on combat operations in Afghanistan. We called him bullet magnet as he always seemed to attract a fire fight when he came out on the patrol with us, a extremely loyal, trusting cat though 🏴
I’m not sure how you get any work done around the farm, I’d spend all my time just following the cats 😂 I know we don’t need to know but I really hope your in some sort of educational position, you have the great attitude and the patience that I’m sure we can all agree with would be an ideal way to learn 😊 Enjoy your holiday weekend !🇨🇦
I must admit, I am impressed with your being able to establish and expand your farmstead, take in guests, and work an outside job. Man, I wish I had your energy. Love your product mostly because you are so original and not at all fake. Good Luck.
Funny you mentioned that you changed....I have recently been re-watching your videos from the beginning. I wish TH-cam would show the Playlist in order of the posting date. That is on my phone or the TV, not on my computer. On saying all that, you really have come into yourself while doing these videos for the better. Love all your content . Love your dreams, might I suggest you have tree houses or even a parking spot for an RV. I know my daughter would love that. Keep on keeping on eh. From your TH-cam friend in Casselman Ontario
I do think there’s a way to watch in chronological order. If you go to the channel page click on videos and you see an option for newest, oldest and popular. Click on oldest and you’ll get the first episode ever.
Good for you! You are only the 2nd creator among many I watch, that believes not every part of your life is our business. Sure we're curious but I think you do it right. And I hate how most channels think it's ok to tell and show everything especially animals that have died. I love how you and your wife love your animals. Keep up the good work and do it your way
Lisa not Bob I have been watching for about 4 months. I love your care for your animals and how you talk to them like they know what you are saying and I bet they do. Yes I was curious if you had a job because it is so much work to run a farm and I’m amazed that some of the Chanel’s I watch can do it all. Thanks for making your Chanel 😊
Thank u Lisa, it’s not easy. Actually a lot of the farm stuff does get neglected further a while as I’m busy with TH-cam. I’m glad you found us and it’s always a pleasure 😁
I like watching RV camping and I think camping sites, some small tiny cabins for glamping vacations would be great. Maybe a small fishing and swimming hole. Love your channel.
I can honestly say that staying at Hidden Spring Farm has made me enjoy the channel even more. Watching the videos and knowing where everything is located on the property just makes it more enjoyable. If you are a fan of this channel, and if you are able, it is really worth the visit.
Great video, wonderful start to my day! I like what's in your head about future plans (especially a cabane a sucre)! I've told some family and friends about your channel. I have wondered what your career is, but I'd never ask, because you're right it's nobodys business! 😁 Have a great day! 🥰
The cats and the bucket were so funny!😂. My cats do that kind of stuff with something different in their space often and it gives me a real laugh. I think it’s actually FOMO😸
Your Airbnb business will be great if you make unique experiences. Excellent dream! Be sure to create a way for your guests to book without Airbnb too. Love seeing the animals eat. Is that weird of me?
OK, so: - farmstay - sell eggs (for eating or hatching?) - cut and and sell firewood - lease horse paddock - lease hay field - TH-cam - *and* jobs outside the farm
oh well welcome to the farm. Thanks for joining us, along with the 800+ earlier episodes I have new episodes in the morning every Monday and Thursday. See you around.
I have been following your channel for over a year now. I love your channel. You always have great content and lots of variety. I love your laugh. I always have a smile on my face when I watch your videos. You and Remi are such wonderful people. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Thoughts and Prayers. Love and Blessings. Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘
New subscriber here! Discovered your channel by recently buying ducks and needing to learn about how to care for them. Love your energy and of coarse your beautiful farm. You guys certainly are blessed by the Lord. Cheers!
As a member of Gen Z, I find your channel so refreshing. It seems that every channel nowadays is wrapped up in some drama or something or rather, but its not like that at the hidden spring farm at all. I have been a consistent viewer of your channel since the beginning of the year and have also watched many of your previous uploads, I just love that I can come to your channel to learn something, hang out with the cats, and overall enjoy a peaceful environment. You, The farm and the channel have come so far and I know it's only a matter of time before you get your big break here on youtube. I'll be watching every upload till that happens.
It’s very tough to handle when so many things in our life constantly reminds us of her. From things Olive does to the TH-cam videos to certain spots of the farm where she used to hang out. We’re doing better but not healed.
I use 5 gallon buckets to catch rainwater for my houseplants and my cats love to drink water out of them to. There must be something cats love about drinking out of buckets. Enjoyed the video. Have a good day.
I stumbled upon your channel with the first video being you taking chewy and bubbles. I really enjoy watching and am sorry to hear chewy is no longer with us.
@@andreahuot6675 Chewy was coming around so well too, I was so close to reintegrating him with the crew. So sad. Bubbles still hasn’t really gotten better all this time though. She’ll have one day where she allows me to pet her and she’s making cute little noises being comfortable but then there might be weeks she weeks where she keeps her distance from me. I continue to help her know I’m a friend but it’s a work in progress. Appreciate the comment 😊
If I had to think about ideas for the channel, I think what I enjoy most is farm/building projects that may span several videos, day in the life videos, and veggie garden videos. But I think that covers what you’re already doing so I’m not sure that’s helpful! Hahaha
@@HiddenSpringFarm Nice! Also, I looked through your channels SocialBlade and noticed that it seems whenever you have Barn Cats in your titles those videos do particularly well. But I’m no TH-cam expert 😅
Your flower garden next to the house is beautiful wonderful background …….sure enjoyed all the animals in the video ….the neighbors horses were great to see also and the drown view of the farm spectacular just a beautiful place ❤hello to your darling…….
Thanks for this channel I found this about a month ago and I'm doing an intensive 40 hour a week distant learning course (which is rough) and your vids really calm me down. I love the way you call the animals out it reminds me of childrens books like roald dahl. When I have my new career and I'm quids in I might have to hire out your holiday let and come over from the UK.
Hello Chad, it was very interesting to watch about your sources of revenue. I’m new to the channel and wondering: you let out the farm house, where do you live? It’s a great source of income but wouldn’t it be great to enjoy living in the house yourselves? 😊
What a great farm you have , especially with all the different animals! Cats and dogs are really the best companions. Another great idea about constructing Hobbit homes for rentals, coming from someone that lives near Hobbiton in NZ. The people you meet that come to stay etc would be a great experience. I dream of having a large piece of land to then develop, and run like a B'n'B or farm stay, Permaculture...everything about learning farming. You're a lucky man
That’s so cool, we toured Aus & NZ several years ago and we had a stop in hobbiton. That’s where I got the idea from, I looked at how they were built into the hillside and once we got our property I realized a lot of it is a hillside as well so it could be done. Kia Ora.
I picked up on your channel after my cat Sebastian disappeared. He has now been missing for two months but now have some better safeguards for my two kittens. They have been microchipped but they probably Wil be kept indoors. Have not let them out because I do not want to chance them going missing.
No word on him eh? just disappeared without a trace? There are stories of cats being gone for months or years and returning home out of the blue. We have a lot of predators around here out in the country so If a cat disappears I always think a predator got them.
@@HiddenSpringFarm I had had heard of those stories before. I had him for about five years and he had never went about being gone like that before. He has had been gone out for a few hours but was typically back after sometime. He is neutered but he was a very avid hunter of birds, mice, rodents. He went after a king snake and chased a buzzard at some point. There are woods back behind my house and across the street from me there is a constant bunch of cars going in and out. Probably some weed being distributed. He may have possibly gotten hit by a car and maybe somebody picked him up and took him to a vet and possibly keeping him or he may have been killed or had died soon after but have went about the neighborhood and had not found any remains. He could have still left maybe because of the disruption of the two kittens being dropped off here but hard to know.
Great video, thank you. I found your videos about 3 weeks ago, have watched a bunch and I love them. Shared them with my son to watch. He loves cats. I love your idea of doing Maple sugaring. I used to do it with a friend for many yrs. Smells great and you can give for gifts or sell. Many people that do it will allow others to go watch and learn how to. Just a suggestion if you have not done it before. Another way to make money if you make trails is letting people ride horses or donkeys on the trials. All around where I live people will rent out to let others keep their horses on their property of course you would have to build a barn with stalls, or work together with your neighbor letting people ride with you or them. Love the thought of a Hobbit house too. You have some great ideas.
That’s so awesome, thanks so much. By the end of the forest projects (probably many years) we should have at least a few kms of meandering trails so riding might be something we can offer. Great suggestions
Yes you’ve changed and grown more confident with your approach to your online persona but honestly I miss those first days when you started each episode with a cup of coffee in a different cup each day. It became a good way to start - to see what cup you would start the video with this time.
Haha I thought I was being fun and comedic but it wasn’t for everyone. My viewer retention was at about 30%. Now cutting that stuff out and editing different for retention my average view duration is between 40%-50%. Lots of people watch the whole video but also lots of people watch just a few minutes so it averages lower. Gotta keep making better content simple as that right 😉
Chad - I love your channel. I love the way you explain everything. Giving great advice and sharing your story ( but only what you want to - that’s important because people don’t need to know all.

+ Positive approaches all - around ! 🎯 Determination = by example ! 👍
That's an awesome viewpoint, I love it.
Your one of two I watch. Love you all.
The cats had me smiling over the water one or two having a little fight you are so wonderful with all your animals they all love you❤❤❤
yeah they were super funny about the water bucket, its a different bucket but a bucket nonetheless. I thought it was a comical segment.
❤ I came across your channel on you tube by chance quite awhile back & became a subscriber. Now, I have my first grandchild who is 11 months old now and he loves watching your videos with me . He especially loves the kitties, but really likes the ducks and actually learned the word duck from me telling him what each animals are when you let them out the their enclosures. You & your darling have a wonderful farm with lovely animals, its so nice to watch your videos with my grandson Brixton. Would love to visit your farm & you & your darling seem like wonderful people.
Aww thanks, that’s so sweet to hear! 😄
My son is also a content creator. Being true to who you are is key.
Fozzy,
After a hard day at work, watching you on the blog simply cracks me up, gets rid of my stress.
Your so chilled out dude 👍
@@JamesR5 Fozzy has the knack of just relaxing everyone 😉
I love your content and the way you take your time explaining everything. My favorite is when you film the cats and Olive, absolutely enjoy watching you interact with them. I also agree that it's nobody's business what you do for a living, only share what you are comfortable sharing. Thank you for keeping us up to date with your farm,
Fozzy,
We had a cat just like you whilst on combat operations in Afghanistan.
We called him bullet magnet as he always seemed to attract a fire fight when he came out on the patrol with us, a extremely loyal, trusting cat though 🏴
🏆 Gr8t story !
Haha Bullet Magnet, I Love it. Badass cat to be out in combat with you guys.
I’m not sure how you get any work done around the farm, I’d spend all my time just following the cats 😂
I know we don’t need to know but I really hope your in some sort of educational position, you have the great attitude and the patience that I’m sure we can all agree with would be an ideal way to learn 😊
Enjoy your holiday weekend !🇨🇦
honestly every video I film has so much footage of the cats that I can't use it all lol
@@HiddenSpringFarm I guess atleast your ready for the next video
Enjoyed the visit today. Have a wonderfulday!
I just subscribed 😊 for the cats ❤ love watching your videos
Such a "feel good" and uplifting video.. thanks, Chad.. you and your darling (and animals) are an absolute inspiration.. xx 👍💚
I must admit, I am impressed with your being able to establish and expand your farmstead, take in guests, and work an outside job. Man, I wish I had your energy. Love your product mostly because you are so original and not at all fake. Good Luck.
Funny you mentioned that you changed....I have recently been re-watching your videos from the beginning. I wish TH-cam would show the Playlist in order of the posting date. That is on my phone or the TV, not on my computer.
On saying all that, you really have come into yourself while doing these videos for the better.
Love all your content .
Love your dreams, might I suggest you have tree houses or even a parking spot for an RV. I know my daughter would love that.
Keep on keeping on eh. From your TH-cam friend in Casselman Ontario
I do think there’s a way to watch in chronological order. If you go to the channel page click on videos and you see an option for newest, oldest and popular. Click on oldest and you’ll get the first episode ever.
Good for you! You are only the 2nd creator among many I watch, that believes not every part of your life is our business. Sure we're curious but I think you do it right. And I hate how most channels think it's ok to tell and show everything especially animals that have died. I love how you and your wife love your animals. Keep up the good work and do it your way
My daughter shared your website with us and we have been glued to your videos every day since. Keep on keepin on. Thanks.
@@doki41 aww nice, that’s so awesome thanks 😊
Lisa not Bob I have been watching for about 4 months. I love your care for your animals and how you talk to them like they know what you are saying and I bet they do. Yes I was curious if you had a job because it is so much work to run a farm and I’m amazed that some of the Chanel’s I watch can do it all. Thanks for making your Chanel 😊
Thank u Lisa, it’s not easy. Actually a lot of the farm stuff does get neglected further a while as I’m busy with TH-cam. I’m glad you found us and it’s always a pleasure 😁
I like watching RV camping and I think camping sites, some small tiny cabins for glamping vacations would be great. Maybe a small fishing and swimming hole. Love your channel.
Exactly, lots of possibilities for us. Some fancy glamping tents or domes would be very cool.
I can honestly say that staying at Hidden Spring Farm has made me enjoy the channel even more. Watching the videos and knowing where everything is located on the property just makes it more enjoyable. If you are a fan of this channel, and if you are able, it is really worth the visit.
Glad you enjoy it! So happy you and Kathy had a great experience. Olive knows the red kong is "Bruce & Kathy's Kong" and she plays with it everyday.
Wonderful hearing from a guest
Beautiful tree!!! !love All the history behind the ornaments. Momm V You have done Amazing work of Art❤😊
I love your farm and life. Y’all are truly blessed. ❤
Great video, wonderful start to my day! I like what's in your head about future plans (especially a cabane a sucre)! I've told some family and friends about your channel. I have wondered what your career is, but I'd never ask, because you're right it's nobodys business! 😁 Have a great day! 🥰
Aww thanks so much for recommending our channel, it'll help us grow that's for sure.
I like the touches of the blooming flowers around the farm!
The cats and the bucket were so funny!😂. My cats do that kind of stuff with something different in their space often and it gives me a real laugh. I think it’s actually FOMO😸
I have about 10 mins of footage of the bucket scene but had to cut it shorter, they are so funny sometimes.
Your Airbnb business will be great if you make unique experiences. Excellent dream! Be sure to create a way for your guests to book without Airbnb too. Love seeing the animals eat. Is that weird of me?
OK, so:
- farmstay
- sell eggs (for eating or hatching?)
- cut and and sell firewood
- lease horse paddock
- lease hay field
- TH-cam
- *and* jobs outside the farm
Fozzy is such a chunk 😂 …… just barely found you channel and loving it!
That’s great news. Fozzy Bear is a big star of the HSF. He’s so cool and chill and has his own speed.
So grateful i found your channel. ❤❤
oh well welcome to the farm. Thanks for joining us, along with the 800+ earlier episodes I have new episodes in the morning every Monday and Thursday. See you around.
I have been following your channel for over a year now. I love your channel. You always have great content and lots of variety. I love your laugh. I always have a smile on my face when I watch your videos. You and Remi are such wonderful people. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Thoughts and Prayers. Love and Blessings. Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘
A year already eh, that’s great. 😃
@@HiddenSpringFarm 👍
Incredible amount of nonstop work you and your darling do to keep this homestead running. Definitely the sugar shack would be awesome
Yeah never ending 😉
❤❤❤ olive. She's so cute and smart. Love all your animals and how you interact with all of them. You're a kind soul.
I love to watch these videos of the farm. Hard work but a great life.
Glad you enjoy it!
You have a wonderful place. Keep up the great work. Love the ideas. YES, it's nobodys business...keep it private.
@@olindapaul7333 ❤️❤️
New subscriber here! Discovered your channel by recently buying ducks and needing to learn about how to care for them. Love your energy and of coarse your beautiful farm. You guys certainly are blessed by the Lord. Cheers!
Awesome! Thank you! how are the duckies?
@@HiddenSpringFarm Getting big fast! lol
I enjoyed watching your cats and animals keep making videos and say hi to you darling I’m Filipina in Alaska . Luv your plants and flowers
Hi kumusta?
I enjoy watching! New to the channel. 😊
We’re so glad you’re here! 👋
Very inspiring.
Glad you think so! cheers
The Shire ! As a huge LOTRs fan I think that would be amazing. I really enjoy your videos.
As a member of Gen Z, I find your channel so refreshing. It seems that every channel nowadays is wrapped up in some drama or something or rather, but its not like that at the hidden spring farm at all. I have been a consistent viewer of your channel since the beginning of the year and have also watched many of your previous uploads, I just love that I can come to your channel to learn something, hang out with the cats, and overall enjoy a peaceful environment. You, The farm and the channel have come so far and I know it's only a matter of time before you get your big break here on youtube. I'll be watching every upload till that happens.
That’s so awesome, I hear ya too. It’s like they create drama just for clicks. I try to keep things real. Thnx for the words of encouragement 😁
@@HiddenSpringFarm too right, but peace is worth more than money every time!
Hoping you both are healing and will consider another k9 companion this winter.
It’s very tough to handle when so many things in our life constantly reminds us of her. From things Olive does to the TH-cam videos to certain spots of the farm where she used to hang out. We’re doing better but not healed.
I use 5 gallon buckets to catch rainwater for my houseplants and my cats love to drink water out of them to. There must be something cats love about drinking out of buckets. Enjoyed the video. Have a good day.
@@crystalakers9817 yeah they were so funny today 😆
I love your channel cause it full of courage and good information ❤
I appreciate that!
Hidden Springs Farm is the only homestead podcast I watch! None of the others compare ❤
Wow! We’re that special eh, that’s so cool
Just found your channel. I’m enjoying your videos a lot. Thank you.
That’s awesome thanks. Welcome to the farm 👨🌾
Im enjoying thouroughly yr videos just joined earlier on..
Greetings from South Africa
Howzit? Thanks for following along
I just love watching all animals and your builds the whole farm
Awesome, thanks 😊
I stumbled upon your channel with the first video being you taking chewy and bubbles. I really enjoy watching and am sorry to hear chewy is no longer with us.
@@andreahuot6675 Chewy was coming around so well too, I was so close to reintegrating him with the crew. So sad. Bubbles still hasn’t really gotten better all this time though. She’ll have one day where she allows me to pet her and she’s making cute little noises being comfortable but then there might be weeks she weeks where she keeps her distance from me. I continue to help her know I’m a friend but it’s a work in progress. Appreciate the comment 😊
If I had to think about ideas for the channel, I think what I enjoy most is farm/building projects that may span several videos, day in the life videos, and veggie garden videos. But I think that covers what you’re already doing so I’m not sure that’s helpful! Hahaha
Oh cool, you’re gonna enjoy Mondays episode then cause it’s the first for the sawmill shack build 😉
@@HiddenSpringFarm Nice! Also, I looked through your channels SocialBlade and noticed that it seems whenever you have Barn Cats in your titles those videos do particularly well. But I’m no TH-cam expert 😅
I love the construction vids too.. when Chad built his cat house I was in awe (and always am) of his talent! 🙋🏻♀️👍
Your flower garden next to the house is beautiful wonderful background …….sure enjoyed all the animals in the video ….the neighbors horses were great to see also and the drown view of the farm spectacular just a beautiful place ❤hello to your darling…….
I love your Leafs hat!!
YES!!! Maybe 2025 will be our year?
Thanks for this channel I found this about a month ago and I'm doing an intensive 40 hour a week distant learning course (which is rough) and your vids really calm me down. I love the way you call the animals out it reminds me of childrens books like roald dahl. When I have my new career and I'm quids in I might have to hire out your holiday let and come over from the UK.
Yup gotta be quids in 😉
Hello Chad, it was very interesting to watch about your sources of revenue. I’m new to the channel and wondering: you let out the farm house, where do you live? It’s a great source of income but wouldn’t it be great to enjoy living in the house yourselves? 😊
The cats are so cool!
What a great farm you have , especially with all the different animals! Cats and dogs are really the best companions. Another great idea about constructing Hobbit homes for rentals, coming from someone that lives near Hobbiton in NZ. The people you meet that come to stay etc would be a great experience. I dream of having a large piece of land to then develop, and run like a B'n'B or farm stay, Permaculture...everything about learning farming. You're a lucky man
That’s so cool, we toured Aus & NZ several years ago and we had a stop in hobbiton. That’s where I got the idea from, I looked at how they were built into the hillside and once we got our property I realized a lot of it is a hillside as well so it could be done. Kia Ora.
Love the channel! That looks like a full time job.
I love the cats so much 😻
Love this content !!
I picked up on your channel after my cat Sebastian disappeared. He has now been missing for two months but now have some better safeguards for my two kittens. They have been microchipped but they probably Wil be kept indoors. Have not let them out because I do not want to chance them going missing.
No word on him eh? just disappeared without a trace? There are stories of cats being gone for months or years and returning home out of the blue. We have a lot of predators around here out in the country so If a cat disappears I always think a predator got them.
@@HiddenSpringFarm I had had heard of those stories before. I had him for about five years and he had never went about being gone like that before. He has had been gone out for a few hours but was typically back after sometime. He is neutered but he was a very avid hunter of birds, mice, rodents. He went after a king snake and chased a buzzard at some point. There are woods back behind my house and across the street from me there is a constant bunch of cars going in and out. Probably some weed being distributed. He may have possibly gotten hit by a car and maybe somebody picked him up and took him to a vet and possibly keeping him or he may have been killed or had died soon after but have went about the neighborhood and had not found any remains. He could have still left maybe because of the disruption of the two kittens being dropped off here but hard to know.
New subscriber here....❤
Glamping is a huge business in the UK, look it up Chad
Great video, thank you. I found your videos about 3 weeks ago, have watched a bunch and I love them. Shared them with my son to watch. He loves cats. I love your idea of doing Maple sugaring. I used to do it with a friend for many yrs. Smells great and you can give for gifts or sell. Many people that do it will allow others to go watch and learn how to. Just a suggestion if you have not done it before. Another way to make money if you make trails is letting people ride horses or donkeys on the trials. All around where I live people will rent out to let others keep their horses on their property of course you would have to build a barn with stalls, or work together with your neighbor letting people ride with you or them. Love the thought of a Hobbit house too. You have some great ideas.
That’s so awesome, thanks so much. By the end of the forest projects (probably many years) we should have at least a few kms of meandering trails so riding might be something we can offer. Great suggestions
I think you both have a wonderful life there on the farm
Yes you’ve changed and grown more confident with your approach to your online persona but honestly I miss those first days when you started each episode with a cup of coffee in a different cup each day. It became a good way to start - to see what cup you would start the video with this time.
Haha I thought I was being fun and comedic but it wasn’t for everyone. My viewer retention was at about 30%. Now cutting that stuff out and editing different for retention my average view duration is between 40%-50%. Lots of people watch the whole video but also lots of people watch just a few minutes so it averages lower. Gotta keep making better content simple as that right 😉
