    All you boys are very MATURE and very knowledgeable! The fact that you all love what you do and you love each other must make your Dad very proud of his sons! And none of you is afraid of hard work! It is how your parents raised you! They did an awesome job! I like your cheery attitudes and Andrew your interview with Matt was great! ❤

    I was just thinking about how you guys technically never get a day off. The animals need to eat everyday & then their areas cleaned around as well. Your job is truly hard work. I love that you all help each other..including Dad & Grammy makes meals etc...awesome way to work together ❤️ I absolutely loved the interview part where your brother said he couldn't imagine doing anything else. It's so rewarding. I'm going to plant just a few things after we move into our new home in the next few months. I can't wait.

    Tell Mathew I have been watching ya'll videos for awhile now. And I can see how much effort ya'll put in all that ya'll do on the farm. It shows in your animals, the care you put in the store, and all the vegetables plants. When Andrew takes the camera out to the fields and we see all the plants, how green they are,how many veggies you pick off each plant, and how ya'll worry weither they got enough water or fertilizer. Keep up the good work it's very much notice.

Would love to learn more about how everyone is related to each other. Perhaps you could do a video explaining which Aunts and Uncles are from which side of the family. Oh and which cousins are their children? From memory Rhonda & Dabby (Joel’s Mum) are your Dad’s sisters?
    P.S. We love watching Joel’s channel “A Stable Life” too.

    So to Matt and his Greenhouse wishes, have you thought about doing some winter lettuce in one? I know you guys don't heat them in the winter, but with temps for them needing to be lower anyway, the prices going sky high (mentioned in the video talking about no longer buying califlower from the wholesaler) and the short growing time it could be worth attempting a small trial run one year. Plus it'd be a great out of the house activity for Cali and you can use that as leverage as favorite uncle against Dan.
