- Today we go over the measures we've taken to secure our natural spring as a potable water source that produces over 3 million gallons of water a year. These efforts will be combined to establish a collection point then install an off grid solar pump to supply the property with water.

Welcome To Heartway Farms!
Josh and I (Annie), and our six sweet kids, would like to welcome you to Heartway Farms. Life for us is full of giggles, skinned knees, work, and schooling but we decided life wasn't busy enough so we bought a farm! Yep, we jump in head first from time to time...and we like it that way. We simply want to grow/raise healthy food for our family and we hope to share these blessings with your family as well. As we take on new adventures please join us for the journey!

Wow so great! I had no idea you could do so much with springs. So awesome thanks guys!
Thanks for viewing!!
I have a spring now myself, I was building a walking terrace along a railway and water came up, now I have a mini 2 lane highway and im digging 2000 feet of levied canals, should be like 4 feet of water, bout a 10 foot wide canal
The spring has been active 200 years plus, but has only been delt with by my houses subpumps, I now see my basement is 6 feet under the water table
Great video, and great information. I grew up on spring water. No other water tastes as god as cold spring water.
The taste is worth it 😉
I had no idea,how to go about doing anything like this ! Great job.
I did this too but I used concrete mixture and bricks to form a wall before ballast and stones then covered it up with black polythene bag
You all make great videos! I always learn something new! Your lives look very fulfilling.God bless.
So much info here. Thank you for sharing!
That’s awesome! It sure beats having to put down a well.
I found a spring on my property in Winston-Salem, NC. I stumbled on this channel doing research. Thanks!
Awesome! Water is a good thing :) Welcome to the Heartway Family!!
Amazing we had one at one time on our homestead but we can't find it lately. Thanks for sharing how you prepare it. New followers here, much love and many blessings from GossMania Homestead
Thanks!!! So nice to hear from you :-)
It would be cool if you stocked trout in the spring branch. That would make some real good trout fishing in your backyard pretty much
Good info! Had no idea about these preparations. Cool!
We are glad you enjoyed and learned something :)
Thanks for sharing this is real good
Thank you. Great information
Great info.
Didn't know, that was even possible.
I would love to tap into a good spring in tx and build kabata system for house and garden.
Have several springs that Re keeping my land soggy, going to develop them
Good job! Thanks
Thank you 👍

Good job
I love spring water
Very good. Süper.
Good information, better than many on here regarding doing this properly to keep the water safe. One thing I would point out, especially since you appear to have livestock is that with groundwater springs like this it is important to always put a fence around it at a healthy radius to keep any animals away (yours or anyone else's) from it and possibly damaging and most importantly fouling the spring. :D
Is that 4 inch blk pipe as an overflow ?
Why does it need to be covered, gravelled etc. Back in the old days they just made a natural dam and put in a pipe. I don't know the issue with the open springs.
From our research... Covering the spring simply keeps the source less contaminated by restricting runoff from the surface and wildlife or livestock from urinating and defecating at the source. It's just an extra step to make the water supply cleaner so that when it reaches its destination it is as pure as possible.
This guy is great! best 🍯 and eggs
Also very informative video very well done
Thanks so much and we are glad you're enjoying!!!
I agree, he's great guy
was blessed with a Natural Spring in my property and I would like to know what I could do to naturally increase the water the runs (all year long) in these spring. Is there any plants/trees or soil work that would in the long term increase the volume of water that I get from this spring? Thanks for the great video!
The only thing that comes to mind is making sure that you are channeling all the water into one collection run so that it is not dispersing too soon. As for the volume there is not much you can do to actually alter it by messing around with the source.
My neighbor has a nice spring, which needs tlc.
Looking to buy property like this…
Question If it's a natural spring and it's always new water coming through how does adding bleach do anything?
I wondered about that too.
Did they ever answer you?
@@chadkeever9437 no

What happens in heavy drought. It still flows?
It has always had water throughout the seasons, yes.
@@HeartwayFarms My dad also has a waterwell 30 meters deep, and when you listen into the borehole, you hear water running below. Pretty cool.
Just out of curiosity, what was the result of the test?
It came back great with the exception of coliform bacteria. Which after doing a lot of research is in many of our water sources in different forms. Many people around the world drink water that has some level of coliform in it.
Isnt there something safer for downstream plants and animals than bleach?
I'd like to see you rebuild this without any plastic pvc pipes, lets avoid the microplastics / nanoplastics. Old school, brick, stone & copper pipe
shut up fella!!!! tree hugger alert ⚠️📢
utterly mystifying how the spring pond turned into two pipes, oh, why two pipes, one a corragated drain? any chance you got some pics from internet showing elements you didn't photograph during build. any rate, you know how we got drinking water from a spring? Built a 3 sided dam, stuck a pipe in it, covered it with an old highway bill board sign, dug out silt and leaves etc once a year. If you want to clean it up, use sand filters etc in the house, chlorine treatment if contaminated, etc.. Here's the danger with burying a spring, they move, not much, but bit by bit as nature fills pores with silt in some areas, where it erodes it out in others making water flow easier there, where a massive flood super saturates the ground and it comes gushing out blowing out the spring. Then there is the weight of the over burden you add. Water is popping out there because the water pressure exceeds the weight of soil over it. Should something underground become silt bound, there may not be enough pressure to force water higher. Silt comes from two directions, over ground, and from under ground. Once it's covered, it's going to be HARD work or $$$$ to dig it out, and using heavy equipment, with related compaction, ripping out too much soil and silt, contaminants dripping from equipment, all bad news. I can't see how one can safely enclose a spring without carefully by hand removing all organics a good 10 feet beyond any area water comes out of in the spring flood. Then layering up with smooth drain pipe with holes interspersed with gravel 50 / 50 , another foot of gravel above the pipe making sure there's good drainage of all pipe into an accessible pit to pump out silt slurry. I might even think about a fairly open geotextile under the pipe that silt can easily move through with water but would retard movement of rock or stickier elements in soil like loam and clay.
