Man y’all- editing this video I realized how intense my ADD was filming this 🤣 Sorry for all the moving, hair touching and squirmyness in this video! 😉
There are no apologies needed for you being you! I don't have a farm and never will, but I adore all of this content. Living vicariously through you
No need to apologize for being you, for days when you're squirmy, for days when your hair or makeup isn't done... you're a mother and a farmer. 'Nuff said. Also, I think "critters" is a southern thing. (I've heard it my entire life!)
It makes it easier to watch, in my opinion. Nothing more boring than watching a statue talk at a camera.
Heather🇨🇦
I noticed it and I thought, "Angela, you look fine!" "Did she have to run out and come back in and she's fixing herself?" It was distracting, yeah but seeing this comment and you noticed it, it made me laugh. No worries! From an ADHD viewer.
I've been watching ye for a long time love it from Ireland just thought do ye have any cats don't know if I saw any
I just love you. That's all. I love when you say "Hard isn't always bad and good isn't always easy". Such a great mindset to have and instill in your children.
We too have a farm and 8 kids (ages 1 - 15) and have learned to be very selective with the animals we bring onto our farm. The temperament and history of an animal are so very important when you have children who are going to be helping and learning around them.

26:12 - Is better to buy plans for a chicken coup and build one or buy an already made one?
27:04 - Do all the barnyard animals get along? Do you think you will need to separate any?
27:57 - What homestead channels have you been following for inspiration on the farm?
29:46 - What is it like to have 8 kids and a mini farm? Can it be stressful?

Thank you!

Thank you!!! :)

I respected the fact that CR turned off the video when your daughter told him not to in the last vlog Mad props to him for listening. Not many 'family vloggers' do that so if your children aren't in the video that's fine. I just like you guys and seeing the farm.
"if I farted I would just cut it out", this is 100% why I watch your videos (for the zings, not the farts :))
Hahaha I loved it to 😂😂
And with a straight face!
I would love to see a q and a with the girls!
YOU GOT IT
I’d love that too! But Angie has said in the past that not all of her children like to be on camera. I’m just guessing based on the frequency we see some of the older kids (for example we see Jonah and Shelby a lot more than Kennedy and Noah) that some of them wouldn’t feel comfy with filming a q and a.
Me too!!!
"CR and I 'brown chicken, brown cow'..." Oh, Angela... I haven't laughed that hard in a long, looooong time and I needed that. You are always such a fun person to listen to/watch. I love your channel(s), your family and your lifestyle. I'm a 50yo disabled single mom of one (now 20yo) daughter, so we couldn't have more opposite existences right now, but man you are the life I wish I'd have been able to live. You are a bright light in my day when I see that you have posted. So, thank you so much for sharing your lives and telling your beautiful, busy story.😍
Heather🇨🇦
"Hard isn't always bad and good isn't always easy." I love this and I needed this!! I am going to make a cute picture and frame this quote ❤
Are your parents still planning on moving on to the property?
hi! just a comment about the kids wanting reptiles (from a herptile keeper)... you mentioned chameleons, although they are "cool" they are not kids pets and they're definitely not for a beginner reptile owner. not very friendly and don't like to be handled either. geckos are okay, but pretty fast. I'd recommend looking into bearded dragons!! They're very hardy lizards and make a great first reptile pet! they're also super friendly and eat mostly vegetation as adults, so less bugs if that's something that freaks you out😂 they're super cute little guys, they'll bond with their owners❤
You're amazing. I got tired just watching you build your garden. When they are adults, your children will cherish memories of roaming free on their farm!
I am on the same level as you when it comes to shelter animals. A lot of shelter animals come with pre-existing issues / baggage. And most of the time if people read the requirements for adopting a shelter dog most of the time it'll say "does not do well with children" or "does not do well with other dogs" or "does not get along with cats needs to be in a quiet home preferably a single person" like, you can't just go and get a pet and bring it home. It's not that easy. I wish it was, but they need to do what's best for the animal and a lot of these animals come with trauma behind them and a multi-animal home filled with loud screaming children isn't always the ideal situation for the pet. ❤️
But that applies to adopting children too..
Do you know what time stamp she discussed this? I watched the whole thing but I must have missed it!
8:15
Love all your content, kids, critters, and all of it. You don't owe any of us anything, so whatever you choose to show we should be grateful to see. Thanks for all you do
I really appreciate your honesty, openness, and that you actually look at all sides before you make a decision rather than just go with "popular" opinion. I love watching your videos, you make me want to be more productive while also looking at the reality of situations, Thank you!
Love the dream you shared to possibly use your farm for therapy for foster kids. Love the heart behind that! 💗
I’m avoiding work perhaps 😆 by commenting throughout my viewing 😆🤣 I just want to say how happy it makes me to know that you are raising some amazing humans who will be awesome adults! Thank you!! The world needs people like you raising humans!
If you ever get the boys I recommend finding an adult bearded dragon. A baby is super high needs, but the adults eat mostly veggies and are pretty personable!
*a reptile
Bearded dragon owner here and totally agree. Or at least a juvenile. They are so fun by the way 👌🏼🥰
When others are sitting at their boring jobs you are working on your beautiful farm and doing what you love plus you're around your precious family which is so important. Great video 💖
Amazing! I had to write down your words, “cultivate the life you want.” Simple & perfect! Need a tee or sticker with those words! Thank you for a great channel to watch.
Thatd make great merch
Love watching you grow and thrive in your dreams. I also run a hobby farm, and it was something I wanted my whole life. I also wanted a large family. To a lot of people I sound and look crazy but I don't care. You are such a joy to watch.
Oh, my word! From "opinions and a-holes" to "I didn't fart" to "Brown chicken, brown cow"....this has to be the funniest video to date and one of my favorites!!! OMG too funny!!!!
I LOVE hearing stories about Lottie! She’s hilarious!!! I keep telling people I know about her! 😆
You told Lottie she needed a middle name so you could scold her. (Last video other channel). Since her name is Charlotte and she lives on a farm, I think of Charlotte's Web. The young girl in the book was named Fern so how about Charlotte Fern Braniff? That would be easy to remember as she likes to chew plants! Lol! Great long gab session with this video. Thanks for taking your time to be so open.
Omg. I just love how blunt and genuine you are. Feels like I'm listening to a friend. Great video!!
I love watching your farm content! While not something I think I could take on, I really love seeing everything from the daily tasks to each new project. Thank you for sharing!
PS- I am also voting for a children’s book about Poppy! I love that she is doing well now!
Angela 🙋🏻♀️ No need for an apology, I think that’s why you are so enjoyable to “have a chat and coffee time with” your natural and comfortable presentation is easy to watch. Your content is so interesting, I just love to hear all your thoughts about the critters- by the way I love that word! Can’t wait to see the chicken run and duck run. I am thinking you will give me plenty of great ideas for my chicken run! 👍🏻☕️🙋🏻♀️👋🏿
Are you getting too much going all at once ?
Don't get burned out, set your boundaries, take care of your health.....
God Bless
I'm all for rescues when it fits. I lost my 14.5 year old Shepherd to cancer last June, I have birds in the house that are not caged 24/7, I needed to get a puppy so it would learn to leave the birds easily. Still a risk, but a rescue dog not only required home studies and large fees, but it was an older dog whose training I had no clue of. My puppy is not purebred, he was an accident and he literally was being raised in a camper. It was getting cold out and the people just wanted money for propane for heat. So my pup cost 60 dollars. He is a hunting breed and shows interest in the birds but does not go for them. He does hunt mice and squirrels and other things though, which works out great being a country dog whose off leash at home. Long story short, would've loved a rescue but it simply did not work with my home, property or other pets.
Honestly I don't count "accident" puppies/animal babies as getting them from a breeder. They'd either live in odd living situations or be brought to a shelter at some point anyways. I always wanted to get an old cat from a shelter, but 1 German shelters are strict as heck, and 2 a friend of mine found a pregnant stray cat. So I adopted two "accident" kittens.
My dad was a horseman and always said horses are like babies. The attention, care etc that they require is like having a baby.
I agree so much with your opinion on hard work being beneficial. And you're right "Hard is in the eye of the beholder", we all have different limits and perspectives. I personally am capable of enjoying my life even when I'm working hard too. They can go hand in hand!
can you do a house tour? Id Love to see the home now that you are all settled in
The Qs & A’s are so much fun! The beat part about your channels are that you keep it organic.
I pictured Lottie jumping through your window and literally lol.
😂😂😂. I love your Mom’s take on opinions. 😂. I’m totally using that.
"that wasn't a fart" made me cry laughing! Love your transparency!
Never been so early! SO happy for this hour long Q&A!!! :)
We used to have our own lawn care business years ago & I did most of the mowing because I loved using our zero turn mower! He did the weed eating/edging etc. It was actually really fun for me 😂 You should learn to drive the zero turn, I think you’d enjoy it - it was quite therapeutic for me! I hope to buy our own home soon, mostly so I can get & use a zero turn mower again! 😆
I'm a preschool teacher and I sometimes call the kids "critters!" Of course, it usually only happens when we're playing and being silly, but I prefer it to calling them "things." Example: "Aren't you a sweet little thing?" vs. "Aren't you a sweet little critter?"
Do you compost on the farm? How sustainable is the farm?
Yes, they are compositing I hear them say their taking things to the compost pile.
I’ve watched your videos for so long and the path you guys are on is so inspirational.
What about turtles?
You are really truly doing a great job! There is nothing more satisfying than working all day... then sitting with a glass of wine or a beer or two and looking at what you’ve accomplished! You are setting a perfect example for the kiddos..😉 Don’t forget to use the old horse manure for fertilizer on the garden!
Thank you for constantly putting in so much time and hard work to deliver such amazing great quality content, I feel so grateful to get a sneak peak into all of your life's you're an a amazing woman and mother you're doing better than you think 💝
Hubby and I had to google “brown chicken, brown cow”. Wow! Trace Adkins schooled us! 😳😂
Critters is the perfect word for your menagerie 😊
Laugh my butt off at your husband injuring himself after running from wasp!!! He’s so right about his theory on getting old.😂🤣 My husband had a bad experience as a kid with wasp and gets crazy if wasp are near.
Absolutely great video! It's always so good when you are able to live intergenerational. So many lessons to be learned from our elders. I wish I could have learned more from my grandmother. So way to go in making your dream becoming a reality.
I am just loving your channel! I was raised on a farm and I feel like growing up with chores and having to work in the fields from planting to harvest taught me invaluable lessons and gave me such a strong work ethic that I have had throughout my life!!
P.S. A word of advice... don’t get geese!!! They are mean and chased us. We were terrified of them as children!! Lol 😂😬😱
You get what ya get and don't throw a fit! People are ridiculous! Your sweet natured to share what you do! Hugs from Missouri 🤗
You could do what Justin Rhodes did a bit back. he had a map of the property and he was laying out where he wanted to have his paddocks to move the cows, pigs, sheep so on. it really helped me see how his property spans the road and how much is on each side.
Love your style! You are such an inspiring woman 🙌🏼🌻🌷
I’m 3 weeks post partum and you inspire me so much. I have a newborn, two year old and three year old. You give me motivation to get stuff done and know I can still have a life even with lots of kids. If you posted more motherhood videos with advice etc it would be so helpful
❤️ Congrats on all your babies!! 3, 2 and newborn at once is really fun!
Just know I so appreciate what you do and enjoy hearing about what you all do. We just moved to east Tennessee from California. I was so surprised to know we had poison ivy in the backyard. Would love to raise chickens, having a hard time finding out if we can have them. We are considered in the city limits. I am curious are you in a zone 6 like us? We are not to far from eachother. God Bless you and keep you all safe.
I love your q & a’s 🥰
Farm mama here too. 4 kids in 4 years.
Ang- there absolutely NO REASON why you should have to spend one minute trying so show certain kids on each video. That’s not how life works. You’re creating content and if a child, CR, your an animal pops into the screen well that’s all it should be. Folks need to be more realistic and they need to stop attempting to control YOUR job. I wish people would just quit complaining and trying to tell you what’s wrong or right 🤬
Well now I have to know. How often do you have to edit a fart out Angie 😏 Thanks for the laugh!
No joke, I use the Marco Polo app to keep in touch with my girlfriends and my mom (grown so close to mom since doing this!)... I ALWAYS fart when I Marco after dinner- there is NO EDITING! 😆🤣 much laughter in response.
Get the girls to look into deap mulch bedding for the ducks and chickens. We do it in winter works well. Saves a tone
I love following your family via your vlog. It is bittersweet as I miss my seven kids being so young; but also enjoy vicariously living a farm life through your family. :)
Also, you are so elegant yet down to earth! Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Thank you for taking the time to answer questions. Thanks for all your hard work.
OMG! The "opinions and a-holes" saying made me spit my orange soda across the room! I laughed so hard at that one! I knew I liked your mom!
I love that your children get to run and roam around the property. Growing up in an apartment in the city I was always scared of animals and really didn’t get much outside time. It would be great to have part-time help around the place. Perhaps a college or high school student or an older “ALICE” to help with the household chores.
I love guniea pigs and I had one in high school---so cute. We "had" a fish and now have a pet mouse and they are both so hard to remember to feed and change bedding for. I agree.
i'm sorry but the brown chicken, brown cow had me laughing so hard! I love the way you phrase things at times x
Hello from France (Paris),
it's crazy how an hour-long video can feel so short! It's a good late afternoon, commuted back from work type of video to watch (on the subway)
Loved your Q&A and love all of your videos. (even more when you try to speak French !)
I really love your Q&As! You answer so many great questions. Nothing worse than a 5 question, generic boring Q&A video lol
Hi from Portugal 🇵🇹, thank you for being part of life 😊
Omg your sense of humour is so refreshing 🤣🤣🤣
I was at the feed store today and saw some ducklings. I was really tempted to get some more. We butchered ours a few years back. Love their eggs and meat but don't like how messy they get. They would have to be penned in or they'd be in the cow's water tanks! But man they're so cute when they're little.
Have u ever thought of getting a donkey
Okay so Lottie slaayyyyys me. It's seriously hilarious whenever she shows up in a vlog, always unexpected, and she keeps surprising you two. Sooo hilarious, gets my goat 🤣🤭😏
Thanks for all the content Ange!
ps: thanks for including us for feedback with the cabin floorplan. Wondering if the striped couch could fit under the left 2 front windows and then push a round cafe table with 2 chairs up against it and the wall. Almost like a 'cafe lounge' vibe. You might love something like a rectangle ottoman that can be pushed around the room to be used for whatever purpose you need. 🤷♀️
Anyway... So excited to see what you come up with! 🤓🤣
Love your points of view
Love your farm life ❤
I loved it. It’s real. I love hearing about all the animals and projects. I’m living vicariously through you and your family. 😉
We lost our 14 year old Pyrenees last June. In late October we brought home a labradoodle from a breeder and omg when I posted it on my FB page, some of the comments weren’t so nice. I have 4 kids and 2 have autism so we just had to do what was right for our family. (Nevermind we have two rescue chihuahuas)
Brown chicken brown cow!! 🤣 that is so funny to me!!! And I’ve been married for 20 years! Just never heard it like that before. 🤣
I can’t wait to use that!!!
You mentioned that a birds eye shot was unlikely, but would you be willing to draw us a little map of the farm. I just think it would be cool to see the layout of how you set up. If that’s not something you are comfortable with either that’s cool too.
We're from Ohio and we are used to "Critters" LOL ALL kinds of critters :D
Yes I should see all 44+ animals in every photo you post or you don’t really love them 😂😂 imagine that photo though, it would be a sight 🤔😂
U asked in another videoi definitely take off one of the sofas and add the table u mentioned it will be cozier
I love your family, started watching you for your adoption videos and now that you have a homestead/mini farm I am loving it even more, very similar to our lifestyle, adoption, homeschool and homesteading!
I also lose my voice when I talk to my best friend who’s overseas. So I sympathize ! Awesome video thanks 😊
Just an idea since you made these videos for people refer back to when they have a farm question and I know it’d be a little time consuming, but you could add time stamps for each question so people can go straight to that question instead of watching two videos trying to find it! I mean, I’m gonna watch both hour long videos but, ya know, some people have a lot less free time than me 🤪🤣🤣
Love your content ❤️ I always wait to watch when I’m cleaning my house to keep my mind busy! You all are doing a fantastic job with your little farm and the proof is in how happy your animals are. I had rabbits and chickens as a kid, but I can’t wait to get out of this apartment and into a house with some land so we can have a hobby farm too!
I hear you! Someone beat me to it in my last q+a and I’m kinda hoping they’ll do it again here! 😉
If u touch the upper right part of the screen where the 3 dots r, u can choose the playback speed....I hope that helps !!
Love your shirt. Anthropology?
Your farm is coming along so nicely! I’ve really enjoyed learning about the animals. I’m not sure I’d ever want quite so many, but It seems like you and CR are doing a great job with all of it. I agree with you about the skills that kids are learning/need to learn. We moved to a suburb area style home for now for several reasons but I dream of land and an older home and a small hobby style farm some day I wish we were able to do it when all our kids are young but that’s just not possible especially with a child with intense special needs- this is a different season of life so we roll with it, right?
This shirt is gorgeous on you. It accentuates your coloring & features.
Think you’re doing a great job, you help inspire me to keep a good attitude and do better in my overall life!
i’m dying just from your thumbnail so funny!
Omg there is a local beer place called Drakes and their logo is a duck... And I never understood why until this video 😝
The Elliott Homestead is a great TH-cam channel to follow.
I'm loving the mentions of CR's fear of large birds 🤪
Like that you call them critters thats what my children called all our critters, like watching your videos
If your boys want a reptile maybe you could consider a tortoise! They make amazing pets, are generally hardy, and since you live in a warm climate could be outside in a enclosure at least part of the year! I have had two in my life and loved them so much! I could totally see a tortoise cruising around your yard with the rest of your animals :)
There is a farm open to the public.near us called the Critter Barn. I never picked up on you saying critters lol normal for is to hear.
Thanks for sharing your farm life with us!
Now everytime you cut, I'll think it's cause you tooted! Thanks for the giggles
We switched our dog to a raw diet after she had to have some teeth extracted. It definitely is worth it if you can afford it. I agree, it’s very expensive. But what a change it’s made in her health in every aspect. ☺️
Do you think lottie prefers people or goats?
I would say people 😆
Will your parents ever be living on the property with you or will they always be living separately? I thought the original plan was to have a family compound.
Taking in rescues is great but they often have special needs that you might not be able to offer with eight kids. Most of the dogs that I know who are rescues have animal PTSD. They would not be comfortable around kids or other animals. They need extra care and love. Also in our case we have a niece who can’t have most kinds of pets do to allergies. So she has to get pets who are guaranteed to not mess with her health.
I am also not used to the word critters. I guess it's not really taught in English as a foreign language.
It is a new word for me as a Swede but when I translated it the meaning in Swedish is small animals. I guess it is more common when you have actuall farms. Funny though critter and critters is two different things, critters is small bugs. 😃
Its a more Southern term, but it is used all over the US.
@@weronicaswonder8156 It is the same word in english, critter would be one, critters more than one. Most people use it as an affectionate term for animals.🐴🐇
