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.

Thank you so very much for sharing those beautiful heartfelt stories about your lovely family and your mom.
Your MAMA is always with you. She touches you everyday in the morning sunshine falling through the window and the breeze brushing your face as you enjoy your coffee on the porch.
Oh my goodness....when you can get your hubby to start talking heâs so cute! I love his comments
Your MAMA is right beside you.
We are source energy and all that have "crossed over" are right beside y'all.
I visit with many who stop by to visit ...always reassuring me that they are guiding and "helping".
Y'all are WONDERFUL...PRECIOUS TREASURES
A very lucky farmer. And I'm not talking about the crops.
What are you talking about Larry?, now don't be shy lol.
I thought he was her Father:(
So Sorry for the loss of your mama at such a young age, I'm all to familiar to the pain that lasts a lifetime. Lost my daddy when I was 7
Love your content, I grew up on a sheep farm in Australia, and watching your beautiful family hard at work reminds me of my upbringing. Good times and hard work. The ups, the downs, but always the family. Keep up the amazing content đđ»
It must be a blessing to wake up in the morning and go to the restroom to wash your pretty face and see your momma. You look sooo much.like your momma. I feel your pain though because my momma's my angel now too after passing on many years ago. The pain is still there on a daily basis. God bless and stay happy. That's what your momma would want .
We love Lawrence. I could shoot the farm stories with him and a cold ice tea for sure. He's right you do stay cooler
Yes, you could!
Todd Reynolds
- I'm 61 almost 62 and I could sure enjoy spending time talking North Carolina farm life with Lawrence. man's got history to share.
Hope your getting your rain last night/today. We are
@@toddreynolds8875 - not here yet but I have every confidence God will provide. thank you for your thoughts concerning my need.
My dad used to say. You have a truck, drive it like a truck. Lawrence is a gentleman and a genius. Blessings from Ohio...
Wesley, thank you for allowing your mama to share you and your world with me. I grew up a wide eyed country boy over here in Wake County so I can so relate to your world. when those two dogs jumped into that Suzuki with you they were yelling just how much they love you Meredith. thank you so very much for sharing your part of my precious North Carolina with all of us.
One of my many favorite videos. A home full of love is the perfect size home. Godbless you all. A very beautiful momma. You both are.
I have said a prayer for you and your family for you to get the rain you need and want for your crops and the grass! I wish you the best of luck with the rain.
As I'm reading this I hear rain hitting the windows sideways! Just started. Thank you!
Brent Evje
- thank you for your prayers to help another in their time of need.
Have to agree with LB on the shirt deal an old farmer told me years ago that what keeps out cold will keep out heat GOD BLESS THE farmers in the USA đșđž
Mer,they dont make women like you no more,your husband is a lucky man,and you got 2 sweet kids love you show ,I lost my wife at 37 yrs old with cancer,she was alot like you ,love you guys I have a positive attitude now about things. Because of you,I learner a lot from you,keep up the good work and keep smiling,
Iâm so so sorry you lost your wife! That was way too young. đđ Iâm glad you enjoy watching. I appreciate you being here.
I asked my grandpa that same question one time because like Lawrence he wore bibs and long sleeves year round. His answer was the sameđ Live your channel cause I grew up very similar to how you live and the memories bring so much joy to my heart!!
Your husband is the model for the "Good Old Boy" and I mean that in the best possible way. A palm leaf hat, long sleeve wrangler shirt & jeans are the official dress of the cowboy. Also mumbling when you talk is expected. I'll also bet he isn't much on having his picture taken?? Thank you for the tour & some history of the farm, I loved it. Seeing Ur kitchen & mementos was a special treat that warmed my heart. Long live the cowboy way & John Wayne...đ€
P.S. absolutely great video.
Thanks for these words! He's a cowboy's cowboy ;)
@@ThisFarmWife_ I like the video keep it up God bless you girl you look good keep it up
@@ThisFarmWife_ I like the video keep it up God bless you all
Kinda looks to me like your husband robbed the cradle. He is one lucky man.
@@ThisFarmWife_ Meredith, my dad wants to know if Lawrence's back gives him trouble? We say it does because my dad's walks/stands like Lawrence.
Larry is a cow whisperer. All in a day's work.
Real life, real drama!
I love the fridge pics! Your mom was so pretty. Now I see where you get your looks from.
You certainly have your life and family focused clearly.
Thank you!
That's exactly what my dad said he worn long sleeves. He stayed cooler.đ
Your picture gallery in the house made me cry...I can relate!.....hugs! Came back to these older videos from the future of Aug. 2021 God bless....
Omg, your channel is amazing, I am in love with your story of life on a farm , especially being in N.C. I had commented on one of your channel which was the first one I've watched of your, that my Grandparents lived on a farm in northern Missouri by the Iowa border. I had kins on my step father's side that lived in N.C. and I have always had a soft spot for Carolina Tarheels⊠I could see myself being a regular on your channel now that I discovered you. God Bless.
So happy for you ! No more going to town sitting in parking lots uploading videos. Also thank you for the shout out! I wasnât expecting that. Let Wes know he can call me anytime.
The dogs competing for the co-pilot seat was funny.
I learned to drive a mule to a wagon, hay rake, one bottom plow, etc (drive?) on our farm until we bought our first Farmall. Lotsa fun. And wore the same clothes for the same reasons. God bless you and your family.
your husband is my kind of man, wears what suits him, pretty much does what he wants, a hard worker to keep the place running and really doesn't give a hoot or dam what other people think. dam near a 24 7 thing when you have livestock.good luck to you and your family. love jim akcanfive
Loved the video. John Wayne was a hero to me when growing up. Sorry about your mom. She looked happy. My wife passed from cancer when she was only 57. She was the best. She said damn twice in 30 years of marriage and took care of everyone.
Aw Iâm so sorry for your loss. Way too soon. Iâm sure she was an amazing woman đ
A godly wife and mother. The Lord has bless that family!
Love those scriptures Meredith!
God bless!
Chuck
So sorry for your loss I know you must have heard this so many times but at least she didn't suffer and I can see that you have your mom's beautiful looks you and your family keep safe âŁïž
John Wayne might have been a western star but his real life love was sailing. And your husband was right about long sleeves. my dad, brothers, sons,and husband all wore long sleeves year round.
Love seeing your husband on video! Really got choked up when you were talking bout your Mom.I lost my Mom 3 months ago and my healing process is a roller coaster right now.Love watching your videos & I can't stop doing that cow call now,it is stuck in my head
Oh no, I'm so sorry for your loss. :( Losing a mom is so hard. Prayers for you and your family. And the cattle call is something he has down! ha
@@ThisFarmWife_ Thank You for the Prayers!
Farmer's prayer, Lord gives us rain, a little luck, and we'll take care of the rest...
All real famers wear long sleeves and big boy paints year round. Next to the snakes and skeeter's, a little heat doesn't seem so bad.
Put up some cams and you'll see them all the time. I've got a 3 legged Coyote (missing left rear leg) that makes it rounds here almost every night.
Hi tomorrow is 73..
Best John Wayne movie, Big Jake.
That's true!
So sorry to hear about your mom!!!! đąđąđą Moms are the best!!!!! â€â€â€â€â€
My grandfather would never even roll up his sleeves,just stubborn,did't acknowledge heat or cold,tough times,dry years or poor crops just kept going forward,the farmer way I guess.
Meredith, I love your channel, your farm, your family, and your country lifestyle. You did much better than I could have when showing your mother's photo. My dad also died much too soon at 56 while I was in the Navy and 20 years old. He had a heart attack while on an EKG with four of the best heart doctors in Kansas City standing next to him. In 1967 CPR was not known.
The DUKE, heâs my favorite cowboy/man. Love all his movies.
He is very correct, a working man knows how to justify what we need to feel comfortable, not a church day to impress any one. Keep up the good work...enjoying this
Enjoyed the video! Farmer is a lucky man to have you riding shotgun on the farm!
Your mother looked like an lovely lady. Sorry you had to lose her so young.
My mum passed away a couple of weeks ago and I have to do the eulogy next week.
Iâve written it but every time I try to read it I struggle to finish it. Itâs hard....
Even though I worked with my dad, I think I will miss my mum more, as she was always there for us.
Lovely video again. Thanks Meredith.
Oh no, I'm so sorry Mark! :( It's so hard to lose a parent, I'm so sorry you've now lost both. I read at my mom's funeral and I think God really just got me through it. Hugs and prayers to you. xx
Thank you so much,thatâs really nice of you to reply. I will do my best.x
Nothing like a tomato and mayo sandwich in the summer. Glad to see I'm not crazy!
Nothing crazy about it except it's crazy good!
@@ThisFarmWife_ Even better with bacon and lettuce!
anselb2000 I love Hellmanâs real Mayonnaise with my bacon lettuce & Tomatoes sandwich đ„Ș đ„°
Mator sammichs are the best! Your Mother was a beautiful lady. Now we know where your good looks come from. Sorry about your mom. My mom has been gone now for 33 years and I still miss her. Pictures are the faces of our past. The Duke is the best! Hereâs hoping yâall get rain soon!
This the kind of person you be driving behind in the country and he's all off the road because he's looking out in the fields đđđ
You have to watch skin cancer people. I worked in the sun a lot 30 years ago getting sunburn on my bottom lip ...now I have an anomalies on my lip that needs surgery. No body bothered much on time....I be happy to keep my bottom lip. Love your channel Miss Merdi. Now we know the shirt mystery đđ Keep Smiling Possums from Jeff and Ella in Australia
Thanks for being a positive voice here Jeff and Ella!
That sandwich looked delicious, hope you sat on the porch for lunch
They have been a staple and they are so good!
@@ThisFarmWife_ have you ever tried banana sandwiches?
While bread
Dukes mayonaise
Bananas
Equals
Yumminess
Your husband is so right to wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants working in the summer air. I usta also wrap a towel around my neck too, to suck up my sweat under my long hair. I looked crazy, but I felt so cool working in that hot sun!!
They're actually following him đđđđ
Dixie Mae I know just like Children đ unbelievable until you see real people in real life â€ïžâ€ïžđșđžđșđžđșđžđșđž
Awesome video of everything happening there. At my farm we have gone from too wet to can't by a rain. Just finished my first cut hay about 60 days late. I understand the loss of your mom. My mom passed away at the same age.
Poor corn looks like dessert yuckka plants instead of picking corn. Sure wish you folks would get some rain
God Bless your mommy and itâs comforting she left in her sleep peacefully and had a blast with her friends the night before â€ïž
Great video. You made my day!
Aw thank you!
Just watched this older video " Coyotes, Cows and Corn " in which Wesley confessed his love for John Wayne. Tell him my favorite John Wayne Quote is ""Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway." This got me through lots of years in the military and law enforcement.
The more sun hitting the skin makes it hotter long sleeves is cooler you better get out and do the rain dance before your corn Fry's up LoL đ đ very nice video Big like I love corn on the cob keep it up
So sorry for yâall loss. She was way to young. God Bless yâall
Meredith is a goddess. A farm goddess. Uh huh.
what she doing with a old man
Having kids and being a farm wife.
I just found you. O.M.Goodness !
I really enjoy your family and farm.
Thank you for sharing your life.......
The neighbors tobacco field ... that must be Virginia because I thought after jesses helms passed đđ»đđ»đđđ«đ«đđ NC was barred from even mentioning tobacco let alone grow it
My grandfather would wear a jumper (cotton denim coat/jacket) in the summer to plow with his mule. Once it got wet it was cooler than a short sleeve shirt. At the end of the day it would be white from the salt in his sweat.
I started watching you because you are pretty, I still watch because you are beautiful. Down to earth is how I would describe you.
Thank you
Always love your videos. They cover a lot of the farm and country living.
Thank you!
No disrespect intended..BUT I thought that was your father... As Attractive as you are I was shocked!! Bless you for just wanting a good man and not going for a jock or studly looking guy. You have given us older men hope ... You have such a Sweet personality pretty voice and are incredibly Lovely!..I absolutely Adore youđ
Thank you! Yeah, we get that a lot ;)
@@ThisFarmWife_After watching more videos and getting to see more of Your husbands personality, learning his background growing up, work ethic and all the knowledge of equipment livestock and farming.. he is Really cut from a different cloth .. a very impressive man to say the least. So awesome to see you 2 running that farm. Thanks for sharing your experiences on the Farm all that nature and scenery is so beautiful to see.
My Gramma said about peoples stupid, unwanted comments.....if you get poop ( well she said S...) on your sheets donât rub it, youâll smear it...just hang it out and when the sun gets hot itâll just fall off.
May dad was the same, long sleeves and same everyday of the year. Always wore coveralls, even in the summer on the combine (no cab) and D-6 (no cab).
Always wear cotton, stay cooler.
Seems to work for Lawrence :)
How long have yâall been married? How did u meet?
Another busy day on the farm. We have the John Wayne museum and birthplace here in Madison county, Iowa. Your son would like it, its cool.
We met when I was selling livestock feed, then he helped me with a horse I was afraid to ride after breaking my arm. Th rest is history. That was 15+ years ago
We would love to see that museum!
@@billdutton2873 Bill, I have been to the museum and it was a great day. Also loved the covered bridges of Madison county. Thanks
Them clothes are comfortable . We all got them , anything for comfort .
It's a work truck ... đ€·đ»ââïž
watching again to remind me of summer. so much good stuff to see in this one and inside your house with really homely kitchen . I pray laurence shares your faith in jesus too & wthout you his life would be dull !
Amazing woman!!! VERY lucky hubby!!!
Short n sweet,....another stellar production of âThis Farm Wifeâ. Enjoyed immensely..! Thank you n yours...!
Thank you so much!
The farmer is lucky to have married a woman 20 years younger than himself or at least it looks that way.Your family and life is awesome and I love the videos!!
21 ;) Thank you!
My dad and grandpa, and all the older guys. Alway had long sleeves shirts and pants in the summer. They said when you sweated the air/wind coming through the shirts would cool you down. đđđđșđžđșđžđșđž
That's what he swears by!
Meridith this is your chance to talk Lawrence into getting you a drone LoL, I have to agree with his shirt (air-conditioning) .. I took my kids shopping for clothes and they wanted to buy jeans with holes already in them, $100+ I about lost it, I have a lot of pride in the holes in my clothes LoL and I'm so happy the pool noodle is still working LoL
Thanks Jeff! The noodle is working great :)
i'm with farmer on the long pants at least as we have lots of mosquitoes, people bug me about wearing rubber boots (wellies) all year long, from 35c down to --40c. sorry your mum passed away so suddenly, i bet she loves where your life is at now.
Thank you
So sorry for your loss of your mother. I also loss my mother in 2001 . And I used bacon grease a lot. Lol.!!!
I know if you play a musical instrument cows will come running lol but it's true . You have a good husband who works hard .
I absolutely love your choice of background music. Me and my band played mostly all Country, back in the day!
Thank you!
My dad used to always wear long sleeves when was a kid as I got older he started wearing jeans and short sleeves.finally got him in a pair of shorts because my wife bought them for him.
Good for him for trying!
Thanks for sharing the picture and story of your Mom, Mere. After seeing it, one can easily see where you got your beauty from. . .!!!!
Hope some of that East Coast rain is finding its way to your area today!!!
Thank you and we are getting the rain now, yay!
Its my thinking you could almost fry a doorknob in Bacon Grease and it would be good to eat lol almost and as far as your Kitchen not having a lot of space, when you have all that love and memories hanging on the walls it will always have everything a home needs so tell the Farmer i said hi and hope Y'all get the rain the crops need and God bless and great video
Yes, fried anything is good haha. We are getting good rain now. Thank you!
I had a shirt like his and it was so thin from all the wear that it was actually pretty cool in the summer, it finally got tore up to much to wear. I had forgotten about it until now. Lol. Thanks
Ha, you're welcome!
There was a large farm just north of me about a 1/2 mile that used Mules and sharecroppers till 1965 they raised cotton corn and Cattle
Good evening Merdie and your husband always love the riding around on Yâalls Farm and the history đ€
Sorry for the loss of your mom I can relate because my mom passed when she was 45 and it saddens me because my 3 daughters and son never got to meet there grandma. Love yâall đ
I'm so sorry you lost your mom so young, too. I wish my kids could know their Grandmother, too. Hugs.
i love it... all of us Gwinns wear cloths that are warn out. they are comfortable its what we wear too.
that is so cool they follow your husband knowing he feeds them.
aww prayers to your mother
I know a lot of cattle ranchers that always wear Wranglers and long sleeve shirts. It's a way of life. Heck, most people in the middle east wear long sleeve dresses with pants on under them every day out in the heat. lol.
This is a awesome video ! You depict the country life to a T.... I love the age gap between you and your husband it shows true love donât have to be based off a number ! Beautiful and great video as usual !
Thank you!!!!
I think that the two small building next to the mule barn were used to dry tobacco. Hang is up to dry and that is why the walls have spaces in them to allow the air to blow in and out
I love watching your videos! I am writing on my wife of 43 years, (July 16th), page. We both grew up on farms and ranches, Montana (me) Oregon (her) and I can totally relate to your lifestyle. Robert Douglas
Well thanks for tuning in! Glad y'all can relate. :)
i am 58 years old, and i also wear the same long sleeve shits and geens year round as well a them plead bush jackets. day in and day out, holes and all, and yes, it i much warmer in our 40 below winters and cool in the summer, i get asked the same thing all the time in day to day life as well in my videos
I love your family, I have none, thank you for sharing
Hopefully y'all get some rain soon. Will keep you in my prayers. Here in Ohio it rains just about twice a week sometimes more. It was the end of June when we got our first cut of hay in. Wishing everyone all the best and thank you for sharing another great tour of your farm.
We are getting really good rain today!! :D Thanks for watching
well we finally heard it straight from the farmer's mouth about holy shirts and jeans.lol.love the bernards.
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. May she forever Rest In Peace
I agree with him đŻ about the shirts & jeans
Hey Meredith, hope yall got some rain today! We sure did. You should have gotten the same front that came across here. I am so sorry about your mom. So young too! You just don't never know when your time is up. This was a good video, really enjoyed it! Hope you and your family have a great day!
Thanks! Back at you.
Much enjoyed the farm tour . Your husband is right that long leaves in cotton are better in summer. The older the shirts the more comfortable on a hot day. Tell the farmer I use , used dental floss to sew my shirts and work pants when they get holes. The sew job holds up longer. I also plowed a mule when I was a boy. We had a lot of mules for the logging and farm. I still love the smell in a tack room with harness and saddles. We had several river places and big rains required us to ride horses to get the cows up to the barn. Thanks for showing your walls and pictures. Your mom was good looking and sweet looking as well. Thanks for sharing your life on the farm with us. I miss those days and your videos bring it back to memory. Jim, TN
Thanks Jim! No better smell than tack and leather. I appreciate you watching.
Did they still use Mules in the 70's or late 60's ??
Banjo Benson , I grew up in rural America during the 40's and 50s. We had mules for farm work and logging in the 40s and early 50s and they were replaced in the 50s however the mules continued to live on our farm in retirement until they died. Mules were still used for gardens and by some farmers who could not afford a tractor. As a young boy I would work with some of the older farm hands and they would let me plow. I was not strong enough to plow a straight row so my plowing was limited to the kindness of the workers who let me have the experience because I would ask. I remember an occasion when I was a young teen ager watching our log crew trying to haul a load of logs up a hill. My father had the Cat operator pushing from behind the truck and when that was not enough my father had some workers hitch a team of huge mules in front of the truck and the combination of the truck, the Cat pushing behind and the mules got the load of logs up the hill to the gravel road. I remembering struck by the event as I watched my father as he took over the huge mules and coaxed them to pull with out any force but simply talking to the mules. I never saw that again on our farm or in the woods with the loggers. Forgive the long answer and thank you for the query. Jim
Without sounding goofy, I'm so glad I discovered this channel, you always inform, keeping it light at the same time, love seeing all your acreage, buildings and equipment, I always end up feeling better, thanks for sharing another slice of your life
Aw, well thanks for saying so Tony! That makes me happy :)
He's right, cotten gets wet with sweat and keeps u cool n the summer. Raced motorcycles when i was young and cotten jerseys were much cooler than nylon as u moved thru the air. He does not worry about holes n clothes cause he has work to do and they will just get dirty and torn more. I c it that way cause thats how i am. Lol
I would give just about anything in the world To live back in a holler In a log cabin house free I love your place I think it's great keep up the good work and stay healthy God-bless
What He Says About Long Sleeves Is All Correct. It Did Not Take Me Long When I Was A Youngster Working The Hayfields In Summer To Take "My" Farmers Advice about long sleeves . We Bailed Big Square Bales and the hay would scratch The Dickens Out Of Your Forearms Real Quick Like Plus ,Yes The Sweat On The Shirt Would Act Like A Swamp cooler of sorts when you were bailing in the Breeze...
Always enjoy your video's, it reminds me of growing up and we never worried about the things we didn't have. Life on a farm is a very rewarding life It can be hard work and sweaty, and as a kid not fully appreciated but it teaches many things about life you can never learn in the city or schools.
Yes, i agree with all of that! Thanks for being here
Yay!!!! Four wheeling through the ferns!! Lol
haha...yes!
Well dang, my wife is from Caswell County and she grew up on a tobacco farm. Salt of the earth people.
How about that?! :D
Super Great video Meredith ! I think it's the Best one since I've been following you're channel . I am close if not a year older than you're husbands age and I remember our garden being plowed with a mule, 4 legged not a UTV Lol . Thanks for the tour of the farm you have a Very nice place. People in the city don't know what their missing out on in life, it's the Little thing and the Simple things in life that mean the Most !!! ... PS Thanks for honoring my request :) Meredith you Reilly Rock !!! ... you're husband is 1 Lucky man ... you GO girl.
Thanks Robert! You're welcome. I'll try to share more like this.
