We're transforming this 90 acre property into a self reliant homestead and farm stay vacation rental. We're building infrastructure to accomodate future growth such as barns, duck house, 7 coop chicken house, water hydrants, planting an orchard, building a garden etc. Chickens, ducks, geese, mini pigs, rabbits, a bunch of barn cats and two old english sheepdogs make up our team here at the farm. Please follow along on our journey of transforming this place into something special.
There is something so relaxing about just watching animals go about their business, ducks swimming in ponds, just being themselves. Seeing their personalities and habits...that's just so special. Thank you so much for sharing. 😊
Yes I feel like a need a bench to just hang out by the pond
I love coming to your farm! It makes me chuckle when the ducks are coming out of the Ducky Bunky!
Haha I call that the duck parade 😂
Cats are enjoying sunshine and rolling around on the earth 😻😻, they are on holiday break 😹😹. Pigs are being the pigs 🐷
😍👍 How is Bubbles doing?
OMG FIRST! I love the HSF channel so much! 💗💗💗💗
Yay! Thank you! 😊
I love your personality and the animals 💓🐷 thank you for sharing
My pleasure
regarding the dust etc on your wire , i get a spray bottle and lightly damp the dust and then just get a brush and go over it .....i love your dogs and to see them jump over the fence is fab x
Oh I can try that. That’s Olive the high jumper she’s a great athlete. Molly is the bigger girl and she can’t do that 😝
@@HiddenSpringFarm let me know how u get on with the dust
etc
💕💕🎶🎶
I laughed how the pigs love to stay dirty. The dad is just letting the baby pigs know the rules. All the animals are such a joy to see. I think the shirts and all will go great for you. I liked all of them lol. The pond is beautiful. ❤😊
It was a fun day overall, thnx for the comment.
I love your videos soooo much. They are so relaxing, cheerful and inspiring. And you speak very clearly, so I can practice my English listening skills. Thank you so much, Chad!
Right on 🤙 Glad you’re enjoying
Chad fun video 🤗Soooo happy Billy got to go outside ❤Kitties enjoying the sunshine 🥰🤗The horses are beautiful ❤
It’s always nice when the suns out ☀️
I appreciate your content and very much enjoy the videos.
I am currently working in my garden while listening and watching your video. It's definitely one of my favorite go-to channels.
Thank you 😊❤😊
Oh wow gardening already eh, we have a few weeks before planting but have a bunch of stuff to do in the garden this year. It’s gonna be fun. Happy gardening 🧑🌾
I was putting astro turf on the walkways. The only thing sprouting right now here in Southern New Jersey, US, are my white potatoes. Going to start planting the rest soon
Your welcome.
Daddy Pig ! So harsh! 🐽
Thanks for the enjoyable video 🙌🏼
Haha yeah he’s just making sure they know he’s in charge 😂
Saying hi from Austria! That was a great day on the farm with you, Chad! I love the duck parade as you said you call it, they are just so cute when they waddle and wiggle out of the duckie bunkie, they know exactly where to go and them duckies are fast too, lol!! 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆Billy will be so happy to be able to go outside again!!
I enjoy these days as well. The duck parade is one of my favourite things to film. Fun times.
@@HiddenSpringFarm Glad to hear that you enjoy filming it, we love watching it!! 🦆🦆🦆Duckies are really cute animals and there's nothing better than a duck parade, lol 😍
There territorial. All males are .
S nice day to be out .thankyou .
Yes and they like to show dominance too
you need a turkey townhouse
Love all your animals on your farm❣️
Aww thanks, I try to always make it fun 😊
My fave internet guy that I pretend is lowkey my dad woooo
YES!!! 👏
My baby loves your videos. He laughs so much at 3:43 when the cats are rolling around, so we rewind it a million times for him! 😂
That’s too funny 😂
@@HiddenSpringFarm he started off watching Ms Rachel on CZcams and his grandma found your page, now he watches your videos on repeat every day lol He loves all the animals. 😊 Hopefully one year my family will make it out to Canada from Australia to see your farm stay.
3 years!!!!! Use a brush on the chicken wire.❤❤ I could never be on a farm/ work or own. I would drive the animals mad by cleaning and washing them 😅😅
😬
You should put a cat cam on one of the cats that would be fun! ❤️✌️😻😻😻😻😻😻
I can try that.
I can't put into words how marvelous it is to start my day with those lovable characters at the Farm. Thanks!
Wow! That’s so cool for you to say, cheers.
What a pretty black cat named Dexter
He’s a very cool cat 🐈⬛
Good morning everyone ☀ The entire animal crew is reveling in the sunshine 🌞 Pigs are in piggy heaven, except Bobby…….poor guy 🥴
The suns always nice after the cold winter. I have a someone interested in the piglets so hopefully it can work out and they can go to a new home.
Thank you Chad. Beautiful day your having there!! Of course we love you!! Look how many followers you have!! You have great content!! Always!
See you next time sending love and support from Florida 🌺✨✨✨
❤️❤️❤️
That chicken wire needs to have the brush attachment used on it…. It will clean up really nice if you use the brush attachment! 😊
I know I lost it sometime during my workshop move, gotta be here somewhere though 😉
You mentioned that you didn't really want to expend a lot of $$$ on fencing just to protect new grass seed ... but you might as well go ahead and get fencing, especially if there should be a good deal on it!
Let's face it ~ you will always need fencing for repair work or holding in a critter that just showed up & it needs to be kept separate from your guys
for guaranteeing purposes !! And the list will go on😳 So if you see a good deal, go for it!! If you need fencing, you need it, so never let a good deal slip through your fingers 👍👌🤔😉
Agreed, I ordered some poultry fencing a few days ago. I was thinking the same thing, I use it for something at some point for sure 😁
Heavens you can't plant till the middle of May! You may need to build your wife a hoop house to extend the growing season. It just might give you 2-3 weeks on each end of your growing time. Especially useful for the cool season crops if you like greens & things.
I have a cool looking greenhouse design in my head. Don’t know when but one day I’ll build it.
This looks like a AuDHD paradise
😁
I just got notification of your video a few hours ago so I'm late to the party! Another fun day at the farm! Billy is looking so good. It's great when a plan comes together. Moving the pigs turned out not to be too difficult.
Yes, you never know with pigs but it was definitely easy that day. Billie has pretty much regained all the weight she lost from nursing her babies.
those pigs are getting, but so cute
😁
Just plant grass seed, then put straw on top and wet it. It'll be fine
Another great morning! Loving that spring has truly sprung. ❤️
It was a fun day 😀
Love how you are so enthusiastic with your animals. Warms my heart there are good people in this world..
Hi Fozzy!!
Mango have his collar on yet?
Duck house looks great!
I try to enjoy everything too and soak in these kinda times. Relaxes me too.
No I haven’t tried to get Mango’s collar on, he’s keeping his distance from me.
@@HiddenSpringFarm oh no!?
Hey Chad, I'm glad that spring weather has reached the North Country. We got some pretty heavy thunderstorms here in parts of Massachusetts yesterday.
Yes it’s been nice. Trees are starting to sprout their leaves.
G'mornin Chad! I bought a shirt or 2 from you 😁 Can't wait to wear them 😉
Oh that’s so awesome, thanks so much cheers 😊
Hi chad, your ducks and geese and chickens and pigs and cats nice pond
😁
You are welcome chad
U should make more vids!! Maybe 3 times a week would be good. I love watching all the animals enjoying the sunlight. Makes everyone "Happy"!!! 😊😊
Love the new merch. Would like to see more colors on the tshirts though. I only see the one black shirt with , i think "Fozzy"!?? So that's the only one I'll purchase
Also I just purchased the Fozzy t-shirt and the big tote bag !!! The tote bag is a little overpriced I think. Maybe $22 would be better and would sell more..aljust a thought😊❤😊😺😺😺😺🐱🐱🐱
Also a T-shirt with all of the cats or separate because u only have "Chunk" and " Dexter" and "Fozzy" and the doggies of course, Molly and Olive. 😊
Now to get the rest of the gang their merch too!!
Love the vids but wish they were longer. 😊😊😊😊♥️♥️♥️♥️😺😺😺🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱😺😺
I would love to but I really need to balance my work/life/youtube stuff, not enough time in a day for me 😉
I was going to suggest that you get a pool net so you could drag the bottom of the pond to get the big stuff that the filter can’t handle,,, GMTA… 😂 your pond is looking really nice… you did such a great job!
The water is turning green already from an algae bloom
@@HiddenSpringFarm OI VEY!!! That’s not good!!! I never even thought you would get an algae bloom problem up there in Canada this time of the year! I didn’t think the water would be warm enough yet!… but now that I think about it, you did use that thick, black, plastic liner and that bugger will not only attract heat, but retain it too… sooooo…. You should get yourself a couple of Plecostomus (sucker mouth catfish)… they love algae and will keep your pond clean… just don’t use chemicals in the water… to keep the Reese from eating them, you might need to put some of hose large rocks on the bottom as well a some dead wood so they can hide from the geese… when the fowl comes, they will hide and when they leave, they will do their job and clean clean clean…
Howdy from west Texas!! 🤠
👋
Lovely…love the shirts. Good luck friend!
Right on! Thnx
Spring has sprung! So nice to see all the critters enjoying themselves on a beautiful spring day 😘
Feels good to see some sun 🌞
New here🇨🇦 love the content but from Quebec, way poor! Watch to ignore our horrible politics & inflation 🐷 please do more farm & le$$ advertisement ☮️🦋💜
Great content as usual. Keep it up!
Appreciate it!
jeeeehaaaa greas from Swiss... Nice i love new stuff from you
❤️❤️
Use the brush attachment for screens in ducky bunky.
Haha I would I just misplaced it during the shop move. I’ll find it eventually.
Me again-Great video. Who is the artist who plays the song when the cats are rolling around? I loved it. Central Victoria Australia 🇦🇺
Morning Chad. Heck, I don't blame the cats for not wanting to work. I'm the same way with sunny, warm weather. Even the piglets are zooming around. All is well at the Hidden Spring Farms. 🌞 ☀️
It was a great day, i want to hang out with the cats but have to pull myself away to get things done 😆
I am new to your channel and I am binge watching your videos as I find them so calming to watch. I wish to have a homestead as well, in the future maybe when my kids are bigger. I guess your wife is a Filipino as you mentioned Filipino veggies like ampalaya and sitaw. Hello kabayan 👋😊
Oh thanks for joining us and welcome to the farm. Yes my Darlin is a Filipina from Laguna originally although she’s been here in Canada for a long time. We’ve been married almost 30 years now and I’ve been to the Philippines probably over 20 times. She always likes to grow those Asian type veggies that she loves. Fun times. Salamat eh.
Cats were all "Fizzing"... Lol
Love it❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I’d buy some merchandise but I live in the uk, so it’s not easy sadly.
But I do love the design
No worries, no pressure either. Some can do it some can’t, it’s all good.
Hey Chad, I've never commented on anything on CZcams before. I really like your content, I would buy one of your shirts if it just had Hidden Spring Farm, no cats or dogs. It's not that I don't like cats or dogs, I would just like a plain shirt that supports your farm. I think other guys out there might like that also, just an idea you might want to try.
I’ll keep it in mind, I can appreciate that. I made one with a green tractor how about that with the HSF?
Maybe sod is the answer in that little area.
Could be. I was at the home depot today and 1 roll of sod is $9, awfully pricey… and I have a few big sacs of grass seed in the cat house so I’ll most likely try that. It’s the best place to keep the seed cause a mouse would need to have a death wish to mess with the cats 😂
You mentioned in a recent video that you're in Horseshoe Valley, Ontario. That sounded familiar, so I looked it up.
Turns out you are close to the Horseshoe Resort where I honeymooned with wifey in the summer of 2004.
It had a different name back then.
We drove up there from Southern Maryland (south of DC). Small world EH?
Totally, we’re just down the road from the resort. We always get farm stay guests of people coming up to ski.
I laugh every time I see the ducks running out of the ducky bunky! I love seeing all the animals, even Bobby and the piglets wallowing in the mud and poop!💩
I call it the duck parade 😂
When is Bubbles going to enjoy outside life? boy oh boy, you had better finish what you started around the pond first. That liner will get moved without heavy stones, not stumps , on it. Make your life easier, put a brush attachment on the vacuum.
Hopefully this summer but I’m very uneasy about it. I’ve done a bit more work on the pond so it’s getting closer to completion.
Just love watching the zoomies with the piglets, so stinking cute 🤣and the ducks and geese love watching them.. your dogs are adorable.. but I do love watching the cats the most.. thank you so much, and yes will be buying a hoodie very soon, love your channel 😊😻
You are so kind, I sometimes have to pull myself off of watching the cats to get other things done, I just enjoy watching them work.
I live in 7a-b in NM. Our planting season stars June 1.😮
You could brush the chicken wire while vaccing.
Really? I would figure New Mexico would be warmer. Are you in the mountains?
@@HiddenSpringFarm A mile high.
@@lisanowakow3688 wow 😮
Great video as always. I am happy that Billy got her pen back. Bobby is showing dominance to the piglets. I am happy the ducks enjoying their pond. Thank you for sharing. Love and Blessings to you all. ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏 Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘
I have a lead on a couple who may be interested in the piglets so I hope it all works out soon.
@@HiddenSpringFarm 🙏👍
Hello! It looks like a beautiful day on the farm. Nice to hear all the birds in the background. Always enjoy your video's, until next time have a great day.👍😄
Yes, all the songbirds have returned from wintering down south. Nesting season is upon us.
Yep, piggies have some of the best noses there are! That’s why they get used to sniff out TRUFFLES!!!!
Exactly!!
For the landscaping, I would plant the seeds, then get a piece of fabric like a sheet, cover and fence the area so nobody bothers it😊😊😊😊❤❤❤
Yes I’ll have to do something like that or the new sprouts will just get squashed
Great video as usual Chad! I love "being there". The pond is looking really good too. Btw, you made me lol a few times. 🥰 ❤
That’s good, I’m doing my job then 😂
I love the western background music!
I do try to match some music for the scene, glad you’re enjoying.
Your pond looks fantastic , I am amazed that you were able to do that by yourself!!!
Yes, it’s really coming together
i used to work on the farm with some pigs, was really fun, they are very smart animals ❤
You must have had a great experience
@@HiddenSpringFarm i did! was really fun, i do miss the country life
They are all so happy
😀
At what time in the morning do you start to let the animals out?
I love seeing all of the animals on your farm. I regret selling our geese. We still have muskovy ducks and chickens. I will need to get some more geese and guinea fowl too! Great video! 🌱🌻
Guinea fowl are great insect control I hear.
Olive and Mollie are cute
Yeah, they just complete the farm 😊
When will you let Bubbles come out?
Hopefully I have courage to try her this summer but I’m really worried about not being able to get her back in.
What do the cats think of the pond?
They are very curious when there are no ducks or geese out there, otherwise they hunt elsewhere 😆
May I ask how many hours do you spend at the farm every day? And how do you manage to eat, you cook there or you bring some Tupperware with food from home?
Differs from day to day, depends on what I have going on at work. Some days I start at the farm, go to work & come back to the farm, Weekends I’m usually here long hours filming and doing other things to keep up with the farm. My Darlin packs me a lunch, could be a sandwich, could be hot food too cause I keep a small fridge & microwave in my workshop 😉
@@HiddenSpringFarm
👍Very impressive. You should take a little nap after lunch time to time!
The spring weather is great. Even the animals are enjoying it. 🫶💕🫶
All the trees are sprouting their leaves. I’ll be complaining about the heat soon 😂
@@HiddenSpringFarm Ikr ☺️
I’ve tried searching online but I don’t think I’m spelling it correctly and Alexa had no freaking clue, what does tanuganaw mean?
Haha it’s “Tulugan Na” and it means go to bed in Tagalog. I thought it’d be funny a few years ago to teach the ducks some Filipino in case I have a hard time to get them back in for the night.
Chad I have a feeling you may be overfeeding Billiy. I don't think she should be this fat unless you want to make bacon out of her. Is this healthy for her? I'm not a farmer all I know is from watching Utube, lol. I''m basing my comment on what I saw on another channel. Cog Hill farm had to take their pot belly pig, Peach, to the vet and then start à new feeding regime for her.
Of course they're down South where it's warm to hot most of the time. Their cold is our balmy,lol. So it your pigs may need all that fat to combat our Canadian Winters.
Could be, not sure. She is a pot bellied pig and should have a round belly. The pigs get only a scoop of mini pig chow everyday and whatever fruits or veg we have. I honestly don’t know if I’m feeding too much but you’re right that they do need more fat to help them deal with the cold. She’s gained back all the weight she lost from nursing her babies too so it may seem like she’s gaining weight but I think she’s ok.
