Break Heart Orchard
United States
Registrace 24. 05. 2019
We are a Small orchard farm in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia. Our progress so far is the result of years of hard work, fueled by a lifetime of dreams. In 2015 we purchased 54 acres of forested land and started the process of clearing, and carving out a farm, orchard and Cidery. We are currently in the middle of a DIY home build.
We like to share some of the things that we are learning along the way, in an effort to pay back some of the great knowledge we have found on youtube from others.

Goat rescued from temporary fence
zhlédnutí 1,8KPřed 19 hodinami
We nearly killed our new goat. We used some cattle panels to fence off an area of the barn and one of our new foundation Does got stuck in it. I was drinking coffee and looking out at the field when I saw it. She could easily have choked to death or Broken her neck. Sometimes good ideas aren't really good. We were lucky, and it didn't get as bad as we thought it might. Break Heart Orchard is a ...
New Goats have arrived - Building our KIKO herd
zhlédnutí 2,5KPřed dnem
For years now, we have been planning to build a herd of goats. Jefanna has been reading and studying about Kiko's even before we started building our house. Some of our day trips and getaways were visits to a local farm for their "goat days", and impromptu road trips with stops at petting zoos to see and feed the goats. These are our new 100% New Zealand Kiko goats. We were lucky enough to meet...

New Barn got Hit by a Tornado
zhlédnutí 8KPřed měsícem
We had a tube frame metal barn built to hold our new goats. And out of a clear blue sky, a little tornado dropped down and twisted up some of the siding. It ended well but was quite a surprise. And a reminder that Mother Nature plays by her own rules. We were very happy with the installers, Dino Construction LLC. They did a great job with excellent attention to detail.

My DirtyValentine -Broke my Camera

One of the hard parts of clearing and managing land is getting rid of the debris. Stumps are especially challenging, but if you let the dry for a bit, and get most of the dirt off of them, they will burn. It just takes a little bit longer. It is very satisfying to get rid of the debris and also enriches the soil when you spread it out. Break Heart Orchard is a small farm that we are carving out...

Am I Tough Enough to repair this Mower?
Hello ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I love y'all's fur babies ❤❤❤❤❤❤
All you can earn from goats is patience
You can always judge a person by how they treat animals. Great family you have there...
Thank you.
Thank my friend. Extremely helpful
Please have a vet look at him to be sure he recovers fully 😢.
I love y'alls big hearts! That poor pup. Shame on those "so called" breeders for whatever they did or let happen to him. God bless you for rescuing him!
Step # 136, get your local Mormon missionaries to help you move furniture into your house and save your back.
Moving is always a drag
I am glad you are taking a risk on Hopper, he looks like he is fitting into the pack well.
Nice story.
Great name! Hopper the predator stopper! 🐾😉
Hahha. I love it so much.
Well done guys, he is a "doer" he will prove to be an asset for the property in the long term. Good choice
Welcome to the orchard Hopper.
God Bless you Sir; dogs truly are a man's best friend!
❤ Hello 👋 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ love y'all ❤
❤
Hi there I take my hat off to u for taking him on looking at him he needed alot help and love and u r the right family for him as well he will follow the other dogs in what they r doing around the place I was thinking what would happen to him if u left him there poor thing so sweet. X
❤
Good for you to take that puppy away from that breeder. Here, in the Netherlands, that breeder would most likely get reported to Animal protection and get his other dogs confiscated because of animal neglect/abuse. Rules here are pretty strict in that regard. I am fairly sure Hopper will work out great for you
there are some people who should never have animals but this dog can thank you for coming to a good home
Awww, what a cute puppy. I'm so glad he found a great home. He'll probably be the best dog you've ever had.
I think I would have done the same thing. I'm one of those people that sees an animal and I'll fix them up. Even if I can't keep them but I will make sure I find them a good home. I think Hopper is gonna make a nice edition to the farm.
They say you can judge people by how they treat animals. You guys are hero’s taking this little guy . Hoping all good things come your way !
Hopper will grow up in this loving family and will become a wonderful shepherd dog. You have done a great job.
Thanks for saving it from the terrible breeders. That poor puppy did not look like a normal happy puppy.
Hello 👋 ❤❤❤❤
Hello 👋 ❤❤❤ I love y'all's video's prayers ❤❤for speedy recovery ❤

Philippians 3:20-21 King James Version 20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. God bless
Look's like your having lots of fun with those animals ..lol
As we were told in the military, every day is a learning day. It’s not like goats, dogs or child come with an instruction manual. Lots of books and vlogs but as you know it might work for them however it doesn’t mean it will work for you or your animals. Another useful and great vlog.
True.
yes get some animals and they tell you what to spend money on🤣😂🤣
So true
That was crazy how you had to get the goat out of the fence panel. Good job!
Crazy about sums it up. Not a lot of “dull days” yet.
@@breakheartorchard4761 keep up the good fight. You will get there!
It's amazing how strong they are for being so small!!! In my experience, once they get their head stuck in the fence, they just keep doing it over and over again. Now all my fencing is 2x4 horse fencing. Next they will learn how to ignore the hot wire, and walk right through it.
We have one who always is looking for a chance to squeeze out. She may have to take a ride to town.
What is your plan for these goats? Will you be milking them or using any for meat? I am surprised that I still enjoy your content after you finished your house but I am enjoying the farm now. I also agree with you on doing what you want to do now.
Meat production. Thanks for the compliment. As we finished the major part of the build I wasn’t really sure if I had anything worth making g a video about. But it seems like this place keeps providing interesting things to talk about.
Why not now!?!?!? I love watching your goats and dogs. I have so much admiration for you both.
Wow !!! Lots of progress… cute goats. Looks wonderful. Heal that shoulder
What happened to your shoulder? I have been searching videos to try and find out, but no luck.
Old injury. Finally had to get it fixed.
Your living lawnmowers
It really is amazing to watch them work
If the bucks are with the old girls, then they are 1000% pregnant by now.
Yes, they seem to be getting well acquainted .
Well done guys, your selection of new goats looks fantastic. Enjoy yourselves going forward
what did you do to your arm
Old shoulder injury finally caught up with me.
2 Peter 3:9 King James Version 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Gods blessings over you .
Boy, they are beautiful goats. It's never too late.😊
Good for you guys in chasing your dreams. Go go goats!!
So schöne Ziegen
It looks like you going to have you hands full for a bit while you get use to having the extra animals. As always wishing you both the very best
Love the video. 16:16 i know this is a bit random but what is that white thing in the sky?
Probably just a contrail from a jet. It was on fast frame so slow things like clouds moving, look pretty fast.
I did see a shooting star the other morning when I was drinking my coffee. That was pretty cool.
