Hi! I'm a farm wife, mama to two and coffee addict - raking my way through life on the farm, inviting you along. I believe all of our stories matter and that they all relate more than we think.
My husband, two children and I work and live on a beef cattle operation in Milton, NC on the Central NC/VA line. No two days are the same around here and I use this vlog to show the good, the bad, the hard and the rewarding we find in this life. If you like what you see, I'd love for you to subscribe and tell a friend who might enjoy, as well. This community is growing and I love interacting with you all. Farm hard, live well.

WOMAN!!!! you made me tear up seeing that boys of your driving the tractor. I'm 67 and got 6 kids 21 to 38, 4 girl 2 boys and I know exactly how you feel. Just had 2nd son, his wonderful wife aand 2 yr old grand son (Levi Noah) here today and watching him tear around on his little bike and following me around and calling me "pop" was wonderful, then I watched your video and saw you son driving that tractor - tearing up again - thanks for sharing - God bless from Australia.
Love your family Dynamics, everyone working together. Nice to see responsibility on a young boy. Makes for great men.
Thanks for sharing
So grateful for independent farmers like you. It's salt of the earth people like you who made America great!
Hi Meredith, I’m a city boy born and raised Tx. I’m a railroad engineer and see many rural areas/farms/lands etc... I do not know anything about farming and just wanted to watch some videos of ppl farming. Now I have found your page and am really enjoying it! Ty for the vid’s
You are just such a happy woman, doing whatever comes along. You approach each chore with a little caution which is a good thing. It helps keep you safe.
Hay season, grinding corn all brings me back to my growing up on our family farm.
God bless your farm and family. Please stay safe.
Thank you! Hope we come out of silage ok lol
Your such a pretty farm girl Meredith and you and your family work very hard. It’s really fun to watch everyone work together as a family.
I grew up outside Ashland, VA working on a hay farm and a Berry farm but I left for the USAF in '92 and haven't been back since. I miss that accent!!
Hi Meredith! Just recently found your channel, and can't stop watching. I was born and raised on a farm in Idaho, growing potatoes, grain, and hay. My uncle had a large sheep operation, that I helped with in my spare time. My dad sold the farm when he retired years ago, and he and my uncle have both passed on. I live right in the middle of some of the most beautiful farm country you can imagine. Even though I no longer farm, I still go on evening drives and enjoy looking at the crops, and the area that I grew up in. Once it's in your blood, it never leaves you. I miss farming dearly. I enjoy so much your videos, it brings back so many fond memories every one I watch. You are truly a beautiful lady, with a wonderful family. I feel at home, and look forward to each video. Thank you so much!
Aw, thanks for the kind words and for sharing part of your story. I can imagine it's something you miss dearly! Take care and thanks for being here
Had a good time watching. Takes me back to my younger days on the farm. Loved the time I spent with y'all.
wish the farmer I worked for in 1970's had the equipment they have now, we had 4 guys on the ground and 1 on wagon stacking, but I still loved it I was 14 and he paid us 2 bucks an hour, that was good money back then for a young kid. LOVE your videos. like seeing your kids helping on your farm.
Those are good memories and a great way to learn the advantages of hard work!
What a lovely honest hard working life. Love you both. xx
Meredith you are the ultimate farmers wife. My mom was my aunt was and they are very very special. God bless y'all! We're in Oklahoma we have kin in Hendersonville North Carolina. I love the blue ridge mts.
Thanks Joel! I love the mountains so much!!!!
you are a good wife and you have a good husband . your children are beautiful . keep doing what you are doing and people will love you and your family !!
Your land and sweet little town is just beautiful. Ours isn’t like it was when we were your daughters age. We are so sad. My husband and I grew up together and own 30 acres, we have brangus cattle and several horses. I have enjoyed watching your vlogs.
It is awesome to see your kids getting interested and farming early! I love seeing young ones in the fields learning. I was lucky to get to spend alot of time with my granddad and dad in the fields. I soo wish I was still on the farm! Keep up the great down to earth videos.
Jim from Scotland..glad to see u lass..you are looking well and your family as well and bonnie.. work rest and play gets in the hay..💖 from a hot Scotland..
There seems to never be a dull moment with you
I just want to tell you I have been watching you for a couple of months now and I love watching you and your family. I just want to say if there was more people in the world like you and your family the world would be a better place. Thank you for what you do and keep the videos a coming .
Thank you so much for this comment! I really appreciate the kind words and I appreciate you being here.☺️
I'm learning so much about the rural life in the US from your videos. Educational and fun - you are a natural communicator. Thank you for sharing your experiences and the lives of your family.
You are blessed with a bodacious life, and life style. I was raised on a farm, also worked on another till I graduated. Wonderful honest life. God's Blessings, Chuck
It makes me feel good to see your son operate machinery. Like the song goes, “Country boys will survive.” They learn many, many things by just using their hands while their Dad teaches.
Your energy is just too darn contagious. I always feel better about things after watching your videos. I hate to say it, but as a northern boy, it has to be your southern voice. Love it.
Aw thank you! That makes me happy!☺️
Nice ,learning a lot about corn,never knew about the dents in the corn, team work and Grace makes the dream work,Thank you God,Thanks Meredith and Lawrence, you guys are the best, BigAl California.
its called a" beaver slide" for a reason!!! lol because beavers made it!!! its nice to see the kids helping & learning how to do things!! thanks for sharing with us
What a great video! You will not have to worry about your kids future, you guys are teaching them what farm life is really about. Work hard and use what you have to work with. Brings back a lot of memories driving along the edges of the field to check things out. And then going to the Mom & Pop store to get refreshments for the family. With all the fancy equipment that is all over CZcams, it’s great to see what the American Farmer is all about!!
Good stuff! Reminds me of back home. Sucks that people see stories like this and hate thru comments or social media, etc. i grew up in SW VA just like yalls place and miss it everyday. Keep on tellin the stories. If only we had video stories 100 years ago, we could see all the good stuff.
That's so true! I wish we had those videos too. Thanks for being here!
Just discovered your channel and am enjoying it thoroughly. I used to be assigned to the National Weather Service office in Volens, VA (1987-90) and we lived in Halifax. Small world.
You always look like your having so much fun! I must admit I love doing the farm chores more than the indoor chores.
That’s a cute little country store ! I see why it’s your favorite!
Meredith, I love everything about your family, keep the videos coming, What a lucky, lucky man to have you !!!!
We got just over a 1/2 inch of rain yesterday here just south of Pekin, so thanks for sharing! 😊👍 maybe more rain this weekend... hoping so ... thanks Merideth
Thank you, young lady...! You do videos exceptionally well..! Your candidness is very refreshing..! Keep on, keep on....!
My mom and dad had a party store \ gas station for forty years. Growing up was quite an experience.
Great vids Meredith they always make me smile, remembering growing up on the farm and hay time and harvest, it's the best life ever. Sure your mama is smiling down on you, go girl your doing it right. All the very best from the uk. Will.
Thank you!
Lawrence, YOU ARE A VERY POWERFUL CREATOR AND MEREDITH IS OVER THE TOP. WHAT FUN AND TOGETHER Y ALL CO-CREATE.
THERE IS GREAT LOVE FOR Y'ALL.
Thank you for sharing be safe out there 🚜👊✌️
You are very good at all this farm work. Keep smiling.🏃🏻♀️🌻🇺🇸
It's always a delight watching your videos.
Thanks as always . Enjoyed going to the country store with you . One of my friends in North Carolina liked to get a couple of hotdogs in the store ( in Rocky Mt , NC ) and nabs . Fond memories of the country stores .
You are right about the little mom and pop stores need more of them instead of the big box stores. Great young man wanting to learn he might be mommas job of raking hay for farmer dad. Some really nice looking hay need a good shot of rain to help the hay. And yes you can drive the dump truck cause you are using it for farm use and not for hire so I say go for it be a great video dont be shy lol. Keep up the great videos
Kenny Mysak thank you!
A very busy morning! We could sure use some of that rain here in central Illinois! The corn is curling and stressed...Great vid Meredith!
Marty Helfers wish I could share with you!
I love the sound of those older tractors. I am enjoying these videos. Thanks 👍👍👍❤️
I love that sound, too. Thank you!
Just found your channel. Takes me back to being a child on the farm. It is so much work with so much uncertainty but so rewarding and always centered around family. Watching you husband tackle the break downs reminded me of all the skills and experience you need to be a successful farmer. I'd also forgotten how rain the rain can be both a blessing and a curse for farmers. Thanks for sharing you lifestyle.
Thanks for being here!
Another great video and great to see you have the farmer talking 🍻
I can't explain why .. but, the air-brakes of that dump truck blowing dust in the wind made me smile .. actually, it made my day. I believe it represents freedom, for those air brakes to just be themselves, as they set, hiss and engage and live to their fullest. ~b
Ha well that a neat thought!
I love watching your family! I want this life for my kiddos! We’re homeschooling& doing the natural everything but I need a farm!!!
Thank You for another great day on the farm.love the Farm Life.❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for watching!
OMG Marnie. I am a Marine from the Vietnam Era. You made me remember. Going to Granny Carr's in Virginia. Was caught up in the Corporate game. You made me cry. Back to basics. Love You, and your family. Keep sharing, you make a difference.
Thanks for saying so!
Thanks it was a fun video to watch. Made me smile
Glad to see you guys did well with the hay and the corn is looking good too! The channel is growing and no one deserves it more than you. You are the hardest working person around.You are the cook,the maid,the grass cutter, the calf feeder,the tractor driver,the caring mother,the story teller,the author, the photographer, the camera man, the editor, the comedian.Lol and it goes on and on!
What a nice comment. Thank you!!
My father in law has 2 huge combines up in Michigan and so expensive they are. I love the corn fields that go for miles up there. He works so hard and I don't think his kids are in to farming, shame. Thank you for the video. Stay safe.
Thanks for watching!
My grandfather had a country store. He closed it up in 1979. I have a lot of good memories of that store.
I'm in Nogales Az 119 degrees. Just watched the video I'm home sick for bama again. If I was there I would drive the truck for you guys. Home sweet home! Great video!!
Aw well we could use you!
I just love your life Meredith God bless sister
Been following you a little over a month now, and you're about my favorite videoer. Love happy Southern ladies with their Southern accent and wearing their tank tops. You have such a happy disposition all the time. This was one my favorite videos. I grew up in Middle TN and now live in SE Alabama, but I did live 4 years in New Bern teaching in a Christian school. Y'all git 'er done!
Oh neat- love New Bern! My mom was raised about 30 minutes from there in Aurora. Thanks for the kind words and for watching!
I had no idea where y’all were from until you pulled at country boys, I’ve been in there hundreds of times. I lived on the farm most of my life across 58 next to Brockway glass. Enjoy you videos. I have close friends down your way, The Hunts , was just there not long ago. Keep the videos coming.
I have just found your channel and being as far from a farm boy as you can get, I am lovin’ your videos. I love seeing how you and your husband work so well together and how you’re always smiling. Love seeing your kids as well...your daughter is as personable as you are! Keep the videos coming!
Tom Rinehart this makes me happy! I love to hear someone not familiar with farming that enjoys watching. Thanks for being here! And thank you, my girl is a sweet mess ☺️
Hey Meredith,
I saw a documentary about a year ago now about a small town, I believe it was in Kentucky!
It was about practically the whole town, which was only about 50 people, and the problem they were having with tooth decay, and rotting teeth, and their consumption of their favorite drink which was "Mountain Dew!"
The folks there were too poor to go to the dentist, so a dentist started going to the town, and seeing people for free, or for very little, and the dentist supplied the whole town with toothbrushes, and dental work, but when they did a survey on what was everybody's favorite drink, everybody came back, and said it was "Mountain Dew!"
Anyway just a little fyi about Wesley drinking Mountain Dew!...👍
Nice video REALLY GOOD SHIT right there Have a wonderful day you guy's
Well thank ya
I love the way you are mastering the farm equipment! I really wanted to ride in the dump truck with you. It always amazes me when you get the Hubby in a vid at how much he doesn't say. :) You and I probably say enough for him too. Thanks for the vid!
I have said many times that there are no good women any more, you prove me wrong. You are a wonderful lady, wish I could find one just like you.
Man and Boy can just be thrilled with Meredith.
Wow seen the tree falling, That’s was cool 👍
nice work again. congrats on your son learning the tractor. he will have some fun for sure.
Thank yah Meredith for recommending this to me just another day in the life of a country girl yes I know all and well about those Ford backhoes and dump trucks I have owned a few my self and will be running one tomorrow installing a culvert .
Thank you! And you rock for doing that!
There seems to be no end to your talents, live the life you love with joy in your heart.
That’s so sweet. Thank you!
Really like the Ford Louisville dump bed. You guys have gotta be proud of your son taking on more responsibility. Those are big days for a young man. I have a feeling Lawrence is a great teacher for a young farmer. Thanks for the time and effort you put into your videos.
Very proud of him! And thank you!
Word of the day. "swampy". I think I will use that! Great stuff Meredith!Chuck
It's a great word!
Great Video Merdie...
Thanx for sharing...
Loved the Bit O Honey.
Your husband is such a hard worker
Your video's always cheer me up. Thank You. Watching Ur Boy drive the tractor reminded me of my childhood doing the same. It's the best life. If Ur husband sez it's beaver I would bet money he know. All the best to U & Urs...wayne
Thanks Wayne!
Great video has always Meredith like the hay hauling
Like your videos so real life , wish you make more in week , you all work together no arguments
Meridith you are such a superstar, you know this time of year I really appreciate a good root beer float.. I'm so happy I found your channel when you first started, you always make my day better. Have a great day
I like coke (or pepsi) floats! And now I need one lol
Meredith you look wonderful !!!
Hand signal training....LOL! "My left or your left?"
Looks like my van. All the paperwork on the dash.
Atkinson’s peanut butter bar. Loved them! Now I gotta go get some. Cracker Barrel has them.
That is real good that you can raise your own corn to feed your cows. My dad had to buy any grain we fed any animals. But we raised a lot of hay. That is mostly what they got in the winter except the bull he always got grain.
Yeah we feed the ones we sell for beef and also feed our cows over winter after they calve in fall
Up here in the Mid Hudson Valley we had, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Atkinson "Peanut Butter Bars" and NECO Nut Crunch, not sure how it was made but it was peanut based our last little "Country Store" closed 5 years ago. Miss that place.
Ha y’all I just found your channel a few days ago, my wife and I have been binge watching your videos and we are loving them. We live in a “ holler “ here in south west area Logan co. Wv. Just wanted to say hello to you and your family and thanks for all your work. Keep um coming
Thank you! So glad to have y'all following along :)
I love watching your videos. Thanks for sharing. 😁. Jennifer Mock
Matthew Mock thanks for being here!
Hey, Meredith. Enjoy the videos you upload. Plus its nice to see a local farmer on CZcams. Only like 15 mins from y'all. I live at the Rox! Yeah the big city of Roxboro hahaha! Keep up the hard work and videos!!
Oh yeah we are neighbors! Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed your balling video. We had a country store where I often worked in the summers. It was an interesting experience especially when the men would stop by after a hard days work to get something cold to drink and talk. Glad you got a good rain. I noted your husbands filling system on the dash. Thanks. Jim, TN
Yes the best filing system 🤪😅
Good afternoon Merdie and family

Yes, get the young ones out helping/working as soon as they are able. I started at eight years old, turning bales so the gophers wouldn't eat the twine.
