Welcome to Thompson Farm! We are William (Bill) & Michelle (Miki). We would like to invite you to join us on our journey into a homesteading lifestyle, where we are trying to implement the ways our grandparents lived - a hard, but simpler life.
"We moved into my grandparents homeplace, and I was raised up learning a lot about farming and livestock." (Bill)
"I grew up in the city and haven't had any farming experience, so this has been quite a learning process for me." (Miki)
Come along as we share our experiences on the farm - from gardening, to raising livestock & poultry, to simple country living. Share experiences you believe would be helpful for us to gain more knowledge. Learn with us as we continue to increase our knowledge throughout this process. Laugh with us through all the trials and accomplishments.

Love the Chicken Coop and you all did a great job on the new coop and I am so sorry for the loss of your Turkey. I don't have land but a city girl at heart and learning and appreciate your videos. I hope you posted the links to the channels, and I hope they will put them out as I only have so much time, but try to watch. God Bless you all. Great Job.
Your chicken coop is perfect. Love how you all have repurposed items. It is amazing how fast chickens are. It is so funny to watch but frustrating if you are the one trying to catch one. Love the laying boxes. Ours prefer laying under their roost
Do the chicks still dig him lol😂
Cute!! Hahaha…chasing chickens! It looks like fun..😀 For a city girl, you’re doing alright Miki. What a great coop! I love it! The nesting boxes for them is wonderful! Wonderful Bill….👍 Oh man…sorry about the Turkey😢. I love the name of your channel. You two do celebrate your farm life ♥️I will be there at Rules…I’ll for sure see the interview! How wonderful you too…I just love you guys..❤
It was a lot of fun! 😂 I'm surprised I rounded up some of the roosters, but I was leaving "Big Boy" for hubby! Thank you for the encouragement - it's a lot to learn, but I am enjoying it so much. I wish we would have done this years ago when we were much younger, but it keeps us young in a sense. We do love all of our critters ❤️ We look at each one as a blessing and so thankful to have them. We're so glad you will be watching the interview and appreciate the support. We're looking forward to seeing you there! We love you too! You've been with us almost from the beginning and we are so grateful you have stuck with us. Hugs to Baxter! 🤗❤️🤗❤️🐾
Now they're all trying to eat it..
They are like little kids - they don't want to miss out on anything! 😂 If one has something, they all want it.
@@CelebratingFarmLife They're all going to turn into pigs if they don't stop.😬
Good video congratulations on going over 600
Thank you! 😊 We are so grateful for all of the support and encouragement! Hope y'all are doing well. Looking out for you next video - we love watching! Take care and God bless! 🙏🤗❤️
Sorry about your turkey 😢
We were hoping it would pull through. It's always sad when you have a loss.
@@CelebratingFarmLife I've always heard that birds die suddenly and stress is often a factor.
We think that's what happened - it's the only conclusion we can come too. I just hate we didn't see or hear anything.
I keep a big jar of assorted bungee cords to use for odd things. And I also use plastic twist ties.
That's good! 👍 It's always nice to have them around. I always save twist ties too - they come in handy to use on a lot of things
So cute!
Thank you! 😊
Welcome to the new Chicken Palace, ladies and gentlemen❤
My thoughts exactly! 😂 They love it! It was nice to give them some extra space. I had to chuckle when I saw everything Bill used for nesting boxes. He comes up with some pretty neat ideas!
That last hen, good grief, Myrtle, such drama!!
She was full of it, wasn't she!!?? I didn't think I was going to be able to get her. She ended up going in the big nesting box and I cornered her in and got her. But she's loving her new space now! Bet she wouldn't have acted like that if she knew beforehand where she'd end up 😂 So, I'm going with that name and start calling her Myrtle - you named one of the chickens! ❤️🤗
@@CelebratingFarmLife I love it. Yes, I think Myrtle is a good name for her. And just think if she has chicks or lays a bunch of eggs, you can start calling her Fertile Myrtle. 🤣
That is true! 😂 Hopefully, no more chicks for a while! 🤞😲🐣
That’s a super nice chicken coop!!
Thank you! ❤️ The chickens are loving all he extra room. We are so excited to have y'all with us! Welcome to our FarmLife family!
Oh boy, you really made that one mad😂
Ha! Ha! 😂 We had a couple of feisty ones, but we got them all up! 👍
@@CelebratingFarmLife Y'all did good. And I love the new coop.
Thank you! I love Bill's humor 😂 The chickens are happy!
I guess it's out of the question to enlist your pack of four dogs 😅
It would have been nice if they were all trained chicken herders 😂 We could have just let them herd them all down to the new coop and save us the energy 😃 It was fun though - another new experience! 👍❤️
Y'all need some elbow gloves.😅
I was beginning to feel that way! I'm surprised Bill didn't want any trying to get ol' "Big Boy" up. He's a big rooster!
@@CelebratingFarmLife handling chickens and roosters can be scary. It always throws me off because I feel they are very fragile and I'm afraid to pick them up.
The hens I'm getting used to - I always try to pick them up without harming them. The roosters, now that's a different story - I'm always worried about them spurring me.
It was nice meeting you!! Thanks for the tour of your homestead! Loved seeing the animals!!
We really enjoyed meeting you and Chris - thank you for letting us join in on your Livestream - Love the idea of Marrisa+1 👍 I am looking forward to talking with you soon!
That was so fun to watch!!
Thank you! 😊
Hahahah that there is a goatchicken
😂 Loretta is all over the place ALL the time! You never know what she's going to do next. I've never seen a goat with so much personality 😂
I think i would watermelon that way too if it good
I felt this lol
We don't mind getting dirty, do we??!! We just get in there and do what needs to be done 😂 👍
Oh my goodness.. i love this.. had me jamming
😂 Thank you!
Get it girl!!
Thank you! I enjoyed doing this one and hope it helped to bring some comfort and encouragement in these stressful times 🤗❤️
Awww how cute!!!!
Thank you! 😊 That's our bull calf "Brownie" - if you can't tell - he is spoiled and has won my heart! ❤️🐮
Heard about y’all from @LenardMountainHomestead we all have to support each other yall check out our page if you haven’t already. Good luck and I’ll be watching
LOVE that yall reuse things to build other things. Its gonna turn out great. I just know it!! I love me somw peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I love welches grape and creamy jiff.. now im gonna have to try jam with a sandwich
Thank you! "Hubby" is the mastermind behind anything constructed around here. It always amazes me at what he comes up with. Repurposing sure cuts down on cost! Definitely try strawberry - it's delicious!
Hello. New to your page. Sent here by Rural2iC!! Love yalls stalls. Your animals are beautiful ❤️ Great video!!

I think those are really nice stalls.
"Hubby" did a great job!
@@CelebratingFarmLife and you keep the neeter that I've ever seen any stall!
@@lostribe5130 Oh thank you! I try to keep them as clean as possible to help cut down on anything that could get them sick or unhealthy.
@@CelebratingFarmLife I'm sure that really helps a lot.
They are pretty cows.
Thank you! 😊
I can see it’s very important to know your animals personalities. You guys are so good with your animals..❤
It really is good to get to know their personalities to give you a better understanding of how to handle them. Thank you so much! ❤
Good morning guys👋🏻♥️😀
Good morning! 😃 Hope you have a beautiful and blessed day! 🤗❤
❤❤❤
Thank you! 😊 Have a beautiful and blessed day! 🤗❤️
Love how you reuse and repurpose things. We turned a 12x16 workshop into a chicken coop when we got our chickens. You and hubby work so good together. love your videos
Thank you! 😊 It is always nice to have materials laying around that you can reuse when needed. It sure saves on expenses! Glad y'all found some good use for your shed - they make great chicken coops.
We are the same way here on Oathers legacy farm, “we need to save that we might need it” lol😂
That's right! 👍😂 You just never know!
Good job great video God bless
Thank you! 😊 God bless 🙏
Hi, they are not Japanese Beatles, because I had Japanese Beatles two years ago and they over ran my flower beds and gardens. They look like Kudzo but be careful with them and feeding to your animals if you sprayed for Japanese Beatles, because they borrow into your soil and will come back each year. Naturally is a lot of work as you have to cut the vine and chop the plant and weeds as they will also borrow in the ground. Tilling the ground untreated will let them live. I am so sorry you have this, the JB destroyed my plants but I am in PA and we are prone to them. Ugghhhh so annoying. Keep Strong.
Hey there! Thank you for the information. We took a picture to our local hardware store and were told they were Japanese Beatles. We did end up spraying and got rid of most, but noticed there were still a few when we went to do the video. This might be something else that came in after them or we were told wrong. But we will stay on top of it and hopefully get rid of them/and or both if that's the case. Sorry to hear about your problem with them. They are definitely a nuisance. This is why we love getting comments from our viewers - we learn so much from each other! We've never had a problem like this before, so this has been new for us. Thank you again for sharing this information not only for us, but others watching as well.
It must feel good to use up some old materials just laying around.
It sure does! It definitely helps save on expenses!
Them chickens will eat that frog!
Yes, they sure will! Thankfully it moved to the outside of the chicken coop. We love our frogs! ❤️🐸
I love peanut butter thick too with lots of strawberries….the best! But I’ve eaten all berry jams and I won’t complain ❤
Sometimes you just can't beat a simple PP&J sandwich 😃 "Hubby" loves jelly - he gets big spoonful's and puts it on his plate. Since I started canning our jelly, I won't eat store bought. I was excited to finally make Bill some homemade fig - that's his favorite!
That will work nicely! Good job you two! 😀
@cbass2755 Good morning! 😃 It's good to see you! I was getting worried about you and hope all is well. 🤗❤️ Thank you! 😊 Hubby is working on it daily when he gets home. I can't wait to get it completed and get some of these chickens moved around.
So adorable ❤
Thank you! 😊 They really enjoyed that watermelon 😂
❤❤❤ 🤩🙋🏾♀️
Thank you for all the encouragement and support! 🤗❤ Keep prepping and keep the faith! God Bless you and your family 🙏
OK y'all - you definitely have to check out Patara's other video she did to this song @appalachiashomesteadwithpatara I'm telling you - the girl's got some moves! Thank you Patara for playing along! I LOVE it!! ❤️🙈🙉🙊😂 Video Link ~ czcams.com/users/shorts91wrg2XDr44?si=xE8QDCVeGWc4pKrU
Your kitchen looks organized. During canning season mine has my canner, jars, produce etc on every flat surface. My kitchen is much smaller than yours so it looks so cluttered but I am too old to be carrying this stuff down the steps every time I want to can. Love your island! I used to sign for the deaf 40 years ago in the church we were going too. My best friend in high school was hard of hearing. I have always been so interested in the hearing impaired
Oh, thank you! 😊 It all gets spread amongst the kitchen and dining room 😂 Bill made our island when we remodeled the kitchen. The cochlear implants have made a tremendous improvement in his hearing! That is nice that you did that for your church. I can't imagine how hard it must be for anyone with a hearing impediment.
Sometimes you just got to be silly. Thanks for sharing
Yes, we do! 😂 We have to remember to laugh and have fun! Thank you for watching! 🤗❤
Love it!!
Thank you! ☺ I hope it gives some encouragement for these tough days ahead. Y'all take care! God bless 🙏🤗❤
I like your video
Thank you! ☺ Our Savior is coming! 🙏 God bless! 🤗❤
