- My Amazing Danish Ancestry and our Happy Original Homestead
In today's video I am very grateful to see my Great Grandfather Chris Jensen grew up on our original family farm in Denmark! I want to thank the Toft family, who were so kind to me during my visit. This was truly an incredible journey for me back to the homeland where my Montana family came from. I hope you enjoy my video, and thank you for watching! Don't forget to subscribe to my channel. Have a great day!

My Story…
Hello. My name is Kate Stephens, and I am an 18-year-old 4th-generation Montana farmer. My family has been farming wheat in north-central Montana since my great grandfather immigrated from Denmark in 1912 and homesteaded our land. My family has been teaching me about farming since I was two years old. I run one of the combines on the farm at harvest. I believe that it is important for everyone to know where their food comes from and the families who produce it. I love our farm, and I hope that my Farm to Fashion and Farm to Table products can help educate people about where their food comes from in a fun way. That is how Kate's Ag - Farm to Fashion became a reality. I hope you love my products as much as I do because this is an extension of our farm and the grains we have been growing to feed other families for over one hundred years.
Update 05-04-23. I talked to her and she told me she had some health issues and had to take a break form youtube. She will be back. She said she appreciates everyone's prayers.
Wishing her a speedy and full recovery
omg Katy😢❤❤❤

I thought something happened to her dad, glad he is ok and she is feeling better. Hope to see her soon.

Wow!!! That is so amazing! You are rich in more ways than one. This is an experience you will never forget. The older you get, the more interesting history gets. I am going to Norway for my 70th birthday this summer. I am pure Norwegian and this is the first time I will see it. I do not think I will see any of my ancestors places and don't even know where to begin to look. You will cherish this memory forever!! Congratulations!!
P.S. What a beautiful church
Thank you for your fantastic story and amazing kindness! I hope you have a wonderful time in Norway! You will love it!
Great to see your Great grand parents house still in use! Unfortunately, my grand & great grand parents homesteads have pretty much returned to nature. However, when we last visited, there were still a few remnants of the old log structures.
Thank you for your wonderful kindness and great story!
Mis Kate , Your family history is as beautiful as you are , Lots of love from Pakistan to you and all your family..
Thank you for your wonderful kindness!
Miss Kate, thank you for giving us a glimplse into your past ancestory. So spectacular. It is a shame that we don't take care of our past like the folks in the old country. You have been truly blessed. God bless you and safe travels as you head home.
Thank you for your wonderful kindness and blessing Mr. Davis!
Hi Kate, I hope you and your family are doing well. and continue very well in school
May you have a good weekend miss Kate the boss lady and your family God bless you all
Thank you for your wonderful kindness and blessing!
the crop at the back of your great grandfather is broad beans which looks good great to see you visit your ancestors farm keep farming and traveling
This is fantastic! Thank you, Kate.
Thank you for your wonderful kindness!!!
We miss you Kate and hope you are well. I'm hoping maybe over spring break you can bring us an update. Best Wishes DC
some years back, I had a chance to visit my great grandparents graves and I found it to be a humbling experience. I found it humbling to visit some of the places where they lived and travelled to. I imagine you were struck with that same sense of reverence as you travelled along the same paths that your great grandparents travelled also. it's nice to see how strong your bonds to family are.
Thank you for your great story and wonderful kindness! It was amazing!
BIG BLESSINGS...🇲🇽
Thank you for your wonderful blessing!
@@KatesAg YOU WELCOME.....
Hi Kate! Wouldn’t it be wonderful to meet a young man there and make some danish babies? Okay maybe not, but I think that place is beautiful and I love your old homestead! Thank you for sharing!
LOL!! Thank you for your wonderful kindness!!!!!!
Thanks so much for this. I’m fascinated with history and it’s so interesting to know where your family has come from.
Thank you for your wonderful kindness!!!
So nice Kate that you were able to see where your Grandparents lived in lovely Denmark . You are just the right person to make a report like this. Many younger people are so caught up in their own lives they would not care who their Grandparents were or where they lived. Every video I have seen about Germany and Denmark always showed Homes, Farms and Towns that were Well Kept, Clean and a people who had a strong work ethic.
Thank you for your wonderful kindness and huge compliment!
@@KatesAg where are you ???
Miss Montana !!!
LOL!!! Thank you for your wonderful kindness!!!
Wow! Such a treat for you Kate. Happy for you :)
Thank you for your wonderful kindness!!!!!!
Nice to see you again Kate 😊 ☺️ 🙂 😀 stay safe and healthy 👍 🙏 ❤️
Thank you for your wonderful kindness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Kate's Ag - Farm to Fashion you are welcome Kate 😊 🙏 🤗 😀 ☺️ take care
Very clear video of high quality, feels like I'm visiting, beautiful! Get back home soon, the USA is not the same without you farming on our land :)
Thank you for your wonderful kindness and great encouragement Mr. Paterson!
@@KatesAg 🖐
@@KatesAg you love me kaTtttE you love sekkxx?
@@KatesAg love sseekaas kaTtttE?
Kate has so much to offer to us non famous, non media types. We have zero complaints. Every 3rd Thursday of the month we have a big turkey dinner. We call ot our monthly Thanksgiving. . Even after 3 months of healing, their is no less enthusiasm in our home for Kates message than if she had made a video every day. On top of what we all have to be grateful for with our own family.m
It's so cool that you were able to trace back part of your family history so far and be able to visit this location.
As a point of contrast a few years ago I decided to visit all of my childhood homes and those of my relatives from the 1950's and 1960's and found they have either burned down or been demolished. Quite a difference between the US and Europe in that regard.
Thank you for your wonderful kindness and great story!
Awesome thus house is still standing ! I doubt anyone knows where my ancestors homes in Europe are you are so lucky!!
Thank you for your wonderful kindness and great story!
Hello from Denmark. The first crop you showed (the green one) were horsebeans, similar to soybeans, from your country, but horsebeans can grow in a cooler climate. The second crop was wheat without beards, very common in Denmark. It sounded so funny (Sorry) when you said "Bjæverskov" the town where the yellow church was. I live about 60 miles west of where your ancestors came from.
LOL! Thank you for your great information and wonderful kindness! I have a bit of trouble pronouncing the Danish names! LOL
One eighth Danish! And from a long line of farmers. Isn't the United States of America the land of opportunity for those who work hard so their families can prosper. This video package explains your whole family history. Good for you and your family Kate. Your family is living the American Dream and is proof that dedication and hard work is the road to success. 🤜👏🤛👊✊👍☝✌👋😀
Thank you for your wonderful kindness and great encouragement!
May you and your family have a wonderful week coming up God bless you all
This is super cool! Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Thank you for your wonderful kindness!!!
Wow, what a really great video. It must have been really great to see the places that your family was from. There is nothing better than exploring your own history. It was great to see the house, and that church looks beautiful. Thank you so much😊.
Thank you for your wonderful kindness!!! It was amazing!
Very nice Kate, it was strong motivated people like your great grandfather that built America.
Thank you for your wonderful kindness!

Thank you for your wonderful kindness!!! It was amazing and I love university!!!!!
Great episode Kate.... Very humbling....
Thank you for your wonderful kindness! It was an incredible experience!
I have visited Denmark many times since 1967! Yes, my enter family is Danish! As is my Last Name! This Michelson Family Branch is 110% Jewish, with deep ties to the Jewish Communities in both Denmark, and England!
WeDanishJews have a very long history standing in Denmark! As my family has, family ties to King Harold. Have a fab trip Kate!
Miss Kate, In case you are unaware Montana author and professor at UM Ivan Doig wrote several historic novels about homesteading the Two Medicine area of Montana in about the same time frame as when your Greatgrandfather homesteaded your land. Two of my favorite books of all time are titled "Danc'n at the Rascal Fair" about beginning a homestead followed on by "English Creek" about life in a homesteading community. Prof Doig led an interesting life in that his father was a sheepherder in the White Sulphur Springs area when he was born, his mother died when he was only 6, he was raised by his father and eventually his grandmother as well and he went on to graduate college and become a full professor. Check him out, you might find it very interesting.
Thanks for taking us along to experience where your family came from. Very interesting!
Thank you for your wonderful kindness!
Hello Kate ag from Montana, I not seen or heard from you in a while. I hope that you and family are doing well. You are missed, from Texas 🤠🙁
You are very lucky to be able to visit your family's past and get to know how you became you. The fact that you appreciate and are interested in your roots is a tribute to the fine young woman you have become. Really like your videos and find each one very enjoyable to watch.
We all miss you, like sunshine. 😀
What an awesome experience that must have been. I’m sure it will be something you will always remember. 👍👍👍
Yes it really was amazing and I am very grateful! Thank you for your wonderful kindness!
That area of Denmark looks beautiful and so peaceful too. The church and its grounds are clearly looked after with care. Times must have been harder back in 1912 to make people emigrate - Denmark’s loss was Montana’s gain. Good to hear that the ties between the two places are still in place and thriving.
Thank you for your wonderful kindness!
good video. When are we going to see more?
Miss Kate, It's so great you got to go to your Great Grandfather's farm where he grew up! My Great Great grandfathers farm in Austria is now a "teaching" farm. One day I hope to go there.
Wow that is really interesting! I hope you get to visit your family farm too!!!! Thank you for your wonderful kindness!
Happy weekend miss boss lady you and your family God bless you all
Amazing connection to family lineage and history, very well documented and tied into your own story. This episode provides depth to the Kate's Ag story connecting the present to the past showing a continuous dedication to the farming profession. Thank you for this opportunity to see Denmark through your lens.
Extremely interesting video, Kate. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your wonderful kindness and huge compliment!
Wow that is so cool that you can go back and visit your history! ❤
Yes it was so interesting!!! Thank you for your wonderful kindness!!
Lovely, just yesterday had to Google "Danish" thought it might be another term for Holland, but no, a country called Denmark, don't know much about it, thanks for educating!
LOL! Thank you for your great story and wonderful kindness! You made my day!
@@KatesAg You made my day by posting this, as well as thousands of others. FYI even if you are only 1/8 Danish, that is a vein of reason and strength (what a garden at that church!). This melting pot in NA requires common sense and reason, as well as foreign cultures to contribute sanity to ensuring America is the land of the free and the brave, you are very brave, I salute you and your family for your channel, kudos to your Dad, he rocks.
what an amazing vid Kate,good job😄
Great video. Nice to see a young person interested in their roots.
Thank you for your wonderful kindness!
Nice video. It is interesting that you were able to go find and see where your family is from. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your wonderful kindness! It was just amazing to see!!!
Hope all is well Kate.
WOW! It is a great honor to be able to go back and see where your ancestors lived, let alone seeing where your Great Grandparents lived. I’m so glad you were able to see where your heritage lived.
Thank you for your wonderful kindness!!! It was amazing!
