Dear Pete, in the last few minutes of today’s video, I think you FINALLY began to scratch the surface of how……important you are to so many of us, although you failed miserably, lol. You are important. Your spirit, comments on life, calmness, fortitude, humor, humanity, helpful ideas, etc. are so needed. Really, beyond needed, beyond important. No one can take your place. I often feel like such a “taker” because of what I/we get from you but have no way to give back. You bless us. Thank you, Pete!!
Amen 🙏 Amen 🙏 to that 😇😇😇🕊
Well said!! I agree!!
You understood correctly and I love watching and listening to you explain your day . Watching you fix your equipment an go into detail about the process. Hope you continue for as long as it it brings you as much joy as it does for others.
This was very well stated. You are a pressure relief and for me a glimpse of how the world should be: working together, working with the land, respect and friendship.
Hey Pete, I’m only in my 30’s, but some day I’d love to have a smaller scale farm. Your videos have made me believe I can actually pull it off! I have a bunch of older equipment I’ve picked up cheap an have been slowly working on each one. I can honestly say because of your videos I have gained some confidence in working on them. Let the haters hate, and god bless!
Pete, I think that you explained your gift of this channel perfectly.
I look forward to your videos as always.
Me too!
Nicely said - me three! 😉
Perfectly said - I agree wholeheartedly!!
As an 80-year-old black man in Arizona you have been a saving grace for me sometimes when racism and just playing meanness people you've been that spot where I could go to and feel I'm just another person thank you for that I mean that's sincerely thank you very much God bless you!
Pete, I am 70, a retired engineer living in north Florida. I am very fortunate that I have a great family and I had a great career. I am very grateful for both my family and my career. I really enjoy your channel, especially your relationship with your animals, the tractor restorations, and your interaction with your wife and family. I follow over 120 channels around the world and your channel is in my "Top Ten" favorites. Regarding the negative feedback, treat those comments like water on a duck's back. There will always be folks who have different views and opinions. You are a hard worker and have the unique talent to teach - enjoy both as life is to short. Take care and thanks....
Pete I am, a pastor and small scale goat rancher here in North Alabama. Your videos are my go to for reassurance that I am not alone in keeping my familes hsitory of small scale self sufficient farming alive. We raise our own chickens and beef cows as well. You are my pressure relief from the stress of being a pastor as well. I think that most of the people you have the greatest impact on rarely comments because we are just happy to have you be a part of our lives. I know the mental impact of negativity and its hard. Know this, for every nagging negative person there seems to be hundreds that are content to watch, learn, be entertained and to just have your family be a part of our families for a few moments a week. Please continue with your videos, they mean alot to me. Thank you for sharing with us. God bless you
Pete, I can’t speak for anyone else, but your channel is different than any other I know. It’s like hanging out with a longtime, trusted friend and confidant. Someone you don’t want to just listen to, but actually hear. You are the type of person one just wants to hangout with on the porch shooting the sh!t or while puttering around doing all the chores because, when you’re around, it’s all a bit more meaningful and bit more fun. There is so much to learn from the farming, cooking, building, mechanics, terrible jokes and business but by adding to it the kind, deep, open-minded and open-hearted, often philosophical, discussion that is an ever present current is what I find sets your channel aside from the rest on it own unique path. I think that’s why it’s so hard to pinpoint exactly what one “wants” from the channel… because it’s you, a rare find. Really, I think that myself and many others need, but are missing, that type of person in there lives and feel comforted and calmed by having you around.
Btw, don’t say I said it, but I think Hilary likes you.
Pete, you "owe" no one, what you have given me is a gift. You share things and animals I can no longer do or go enjoy. You enjoy it for me. I smile and laugh, enjoy your cows, and you and your wife. She is a treasure. The years go so fast. Do what is best for you and yours in your life. I thank you.
Im not gonna lie, I got a little teary eyed listening to your monologue at the end. Hope you keep making honest and heart felt videos displaying the peaceful, and simple farm life. Thank you.
You keep doing what you want. Im 80 and one of my best days every week is listening to you.
I agree. Pete and Hilary you are such a ray of sunshine. Thank you for all pleasure I receive from your channel. Thank you for all your efforts. ❤
Mr. Pete, im in a wheelchair, my baby brother is legally blind. Both injured at 15 two years apart. I was shot and he had a stroke. Your videos inspire us to do what we love which is to mess with tractors. We both love your videos and watch every one of them. We have competitions to see who watches them first and remind one another "hey pete posted a video" i hope this little message is able to convey just how much we love your videos. Regardless of what you post we will watch. Thank you Mr. Pete.
You have no idea what a blessing you are. My uncle was an “old school” farmer, who loved what he did. As a child, my cousins & I took turns sitting on his lap, driving his Farmall tractor, slopping hogs, milking his cow & gathering eggs. Watching you reminds me of the idyllic childhood we had. I’m now a retired pastor. It didn’t take long to discover that every congregation had someone with the “gift” of discouragement. Don’t let the naysayers “steal” the joy you have in your work. To quote the African American Spiritual, “Ain’t gonna let nobody turn me ‘round.” As my uncle would say, “Stay hitched to the plow.” Galatians 6:17
That's beautiful! Amen!
Yes yes and yes. In these crazy times, the time with you is so peaceful and calming. Thank you Pete and Hillary.
Pete, remember that you cant see all the downvotes on negative comments. And unfortunately, neither can the trolls that posted them.
The vast majority of us love and support your content. You’re a much needed voice of reason right now. Thank you for doing what you do.
As a person who is homebound because of chronic illness with the inability to drive or lack of funds to actually get out, I find your channel so important to me. I love learning new things about living on a farm. Your sense of humor, sharing of knowledge and experiences, and the enjoyment of imagining I’m living for the moment on a farm truly enriches my life and washes away some moments of my lonely, long days.
Thank you, Pete, and Hillary, for helping me enjoy life and not be so lonely. Words just can’t express my true appreciation. ♥️
Pete I discovered your site about 16 months ago. I was recovering from heart bypass surgery. Little did I know that in the months that followed I would overcome a heart stent procedure, COVID and now battling bladder cancer. Through it all I watched and listened and learned. Your videos got me through tough times. It gave me something to look forward to. But more importantly your humble and honest messages provided me comfort. Thank you. By the way I worked in healthcare for many years. I’m still amazed Hillary left ICU to work on the farm. What a transition.
God Bless you Pete, Hillary and kids. 🙏🏻
You are an excellent teacher! No matter which way you change things on your channel I'll always be watching! Being disabled and unable to enjoy life the way I used to, I've turned to u tube and it's the best choice I've ever made! And your part of that enjoyment! I watch channels all of the world, craftsmanship, artists, off grid, farming, Video's have shown me so many amazing sights and beautiful scenery I would never have the opportunity to see! I have not watched tv in 4yrs, Don't miss it! Thank you for being you!!
Pete, you have no idea how much you and your wife have affected my life. Not only in the knowledge you provide in your videos,but in the way you live your lives. It’s nice to be able to watch your videos and learn things and not have to worry about clickbait and promotional advertisements put forth by most CZcamsrs. We can tell it’s all from the heart. You are my favorite on CZcams and I watch many channels. Keep doing what you are doing. It is much appreciated.
Hey it's Awesome to see small farmers having influence on many people most of us city forks never have the connection to the land of farming and outreach through the internet has made so many see the farmers side of life Thanks for your sacrifice for us to enjoy the food we eat every day and May God Always Bless our Farmers 😊Amen
I'm 68 yrs old, watching your video today reminded me the good feeling I got cleaning up areas and how nice it looks when done. I'm retired now so I spend time keeping the farm kept up. Working on line fences, removing brush and timing trees. I'll be so happy if you continue your repair videos, I'll never be to old to learn something that works better than the way I do things. god bless.
Pete, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate what you do on CZcams. I enjoy everything you cover from haying, working with animals, mechanical work, painting, household, chores, cooking, farmers market, decision-making process, family, dad, jokes, economics of small farms, or philosophy. All of it well done interesting. Thank you.
Pete, I live in an urban area and I want you to know that your insight on life has made a huge impact on me. I have learned so much about the importance of agriculture. Because of you, I now buy meat, eggs, and vegetables at the local farmer’s market - and the food tastes so much better. As a compliment, I say you are like the Mr Rogers for grown ups - you teach us important lessons while being completely entertaining. Keep up the great work. Your viewers appreciate you more than you’ll ever know.
Pete, you should never worry about content, YOU'RE the content. Everything else is a bonus, cows, pigs, tractors..
Bonjour Pete
J'espère que vous pourrez me lire/traduire.
J'ai 28 ans, et suis paysan, éleveur au Pays-Basque, entre la France et l'Espagne. 20 vaches, 40 moutons, 250 poules, quelques cochons, et un grand verger. J'adore vos vidéos, et la ferme que vous avez bâti avec votre femme. Vous voir dans mon fil d'actualité CZcams après une journée éprouvante est toujours un profond bonheur. Vous êtes, vous et votre femme, des mentors, bien au delà des frontières de votre pays. Tant que vous y trouvez du plaisir, continuez. Continuez pour des gens comme moi, qui trouvent en vous, par ces videos, le voisin, l'aîné, le mentor, qu'ils auraient aimé avoir au près d'eux. Longue et heureuse vie à vous. See you next Time
Merci pour votre français facile à comprendre. J'apprends le français comme langue seconde. Je suis ravie de l'avoir compris ! Une ferme prospère à vous !
Pete, nearly half a million subscribers really enjoy what you do here is incredible. I am very grateful I found you and get to watch your electric fence antics and those Dad jokes to brighten my day. Thank you Pete! You are doing such great things here!
Awesome job feeding the community and restoring tractors. An American dream with hard work and family 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hi Pete! If you’d like one last ditch effort on the pigs: move the boar away from sow for about a month, far enough away they can’t hear each other. Then wait until she comes into heat and reintroduce Billy. The old farmers near me that grew hogs actually swapped boars, my uncle explained to me that because pigs are so social and intelligent it’s hard for them to breed with sows they recognize and are familiar with. It’s an instinct to prevent inbreeding. Not sure if it’s true but we never lacked for piglets!
I inherited some goats, and have an old billy that we were certain was past breeding. He is magnificent and was riding out his days as a lawn ornament. A neighbor gave us a billy that we were going to process, but he busted our gate and covered the does. Well ol' Willy got his mojo back, and re-covered the females and now we have seven kids that look like him. It took a bit of competition, but he is back in the game!
Having grown up on a farm I so enjoy watching your channel. You remind me of my dad in the fact that, like you, he had and used tractors that were aged❤ He was a mechanic so he was able to fix whatever needed fixing! Thank you for sharing your life with those of us who enjoy and appreciate your way of life and how you choose to live it❤
😂Pete and Hillary, I grew up on a mixed farm in northern Canada much like yours. We used old machinery that we fixed ourselves like you. We sold our milk in town for income. Now 60 yrs later, I live my farming roots vicariously through your videos. From BC, Canada I thank you from the bottom of my heart and encourage you to continue your good work!!!
Thank you Pete for continuing your channel. You, your family and farm are important to us. We are grateful for you sharing a part of your life with us. I hope this spring is a wonderful new beginning for you and the farm. That roast looks good.🐷 🙂
You do a great job with your videos. It’s always so much fun to see the cattle and the pigs and the chickens and it’s amazing way to see how you guys have a nice peaceful life and how to see what you guys do keep up with all the great videos.
Pete, I've just loved the walk you take us on every week. Serenity, calm, humor, peacefulness of your day. Love to see just your every day, and your calm attitude as you approach your problems, and solving them. I look forward to your videos for those reasons. You asked us what we want to see, but the question is actually is "what do you, want to show us" that's the question from us. I think your doing a great job of it so far. The weird comments you get...well that's apart of presenting and feed back. Good and bad. Think of them as grains of Salt, my dad used to say. some comments overseen are disheartening. Most are positive. So look at the positive side, put water on the rest. Wash the bad things aside. Then continue your walk, just don't forget to take us with ya. Thanks
Pete
You are more important than you actually know. I love your videos, farming, and tractor refurbishment. Your attitude and your calmness. Thank you for the ability to have a peek into you and your families lives. Have a great day. I always look forward to seeing your videos. Much respect, sir.
I discovered your channel about a year ago because of your tractor repair videos. At first I wasn't interested in the farming or every day life videos because I was only searching youtube for small engine (mainly chainsaw) repair videos but I noticed that eventually I started getting excited whenever I would see the blue dot signaling a new video was up and would (and still do) figure out when was going to be the best time to sit down and watch, I was finding the perfect time so I could savor your video. What you have brought to me is the calmness that I have missed in life. You and Hilary really have brought me back to feeling good again. Your positive nature, it's not contrived, it's not overblown, it's not in you face passive aggressive, it's just natural and honest. Thank you.
Hi Pete, my husband and I discovered your channel over a year ago. Although we have never commented before, we look so forward to seeing your videos. We have gone back and watched most all of your videos. Your humor, words of wisdom, and calmness are so important in today's trauma-filled environment. I grew up on a small farm in Missouri (we now live in Phoenix, AZ) and seeing your videos reminds me of a lot of pleasant memories. We love the animals and seeing all the tasks performed on the farm. We watch the tractor videos and are totally amazed at your knowledge! We were quite sad when we thought that you might be winding down and were delighted to hear that you plan on continuing! Thanks for your positive spirit. You are a blessing to us and so many others.
Thank you for your efforts and this channel. As I get older, and am stuck in the city, missing the country life, you give me moments each week of farm life that heals my soul.
Pete I really enjoy your videos. Nothing like your video while having my coffee. This reminds me of my days as a kid on the farm. Spending time with the animals and watching my parents and the neighbors working together to harvest and trade with each other. A hand shake meant the same as your word. My parents taught me a deal is a deal and to always try to exceed what you had agreed to. Give it a 110%. We worked hard and played and had fun. Just like you most of the animals would follow us around and we knew they were there for food not just a pet. Please keep doing what you’re doing, it is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I derive immense joy from perusing the comments, witnessing the appreciation viewers express for your channel. Like countless others who follow A Few Acres Farm, I share the sentiment. The prospect of dedicating a week as a volunteer on your farm, immersing myself in the work, greatly appeals to me. Your unwavering commitment to your endeavors has a profound and positive influence on our lives. Sincere gratitude to both Pete and Hillary.
Pete, my wife and I just started a small farm last year with cattle and have learned immense amounts from you! Every time we faced a new challenge there has always been one of your videos with knowledge and solutions. We truly appreciate you!
I'm so grateful to you and I couldn't be happier with your decision to continue with your videos. You are very understanding as to how you help so many of us. You nailed it right on the head. Thank you again, and thank you to all of the other viewers that have praised you for what you do for us. You are truly a treasure to this world. We need more people on this planet like you. I will be with you as long as I possibly can. May God bless you and your family with the best. See you later.
Pete, love that smile! Your quiet demeanor, zest for life, love of family and farm give me a warm feeling of hope. You are a great teacher. Thank you for spending your time with me. Blessings to you and Hilary ❤
Perfect video; made my heart sing. Thank you Pete for sharing your life with us. I was so happy to see you smiling and relaxed. Spring is coming my friend. You may need a veggie plot.
Hi! I watch your videos with my husband and we enjoy them tremendously. You’re a calm voice in a world of crazy and we thank you. We will be retiring to our “few acres” soon and we are looking forward to watching your garden project. Please keep doing what you do and the way you do it. You have a wonderful and unique gift. Thank you so very much and your wonderful wife too. 💯❤️🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yes sir, I think you understand. It is an awesome thing to have a gift to share with other people and an even more beautiful thing when you love sharing that gift. Thank you.
Pete, please keep doing your videos as you do them now! I thoroughly enjoy the variation you put into them, I live in England, but I’ve been all over the world in my time, and as a retired person, I like your type of commentary on what you do. I’ve met people like you everywhere, keep up the good work
Pete, so glad the lightbulb of your realizing what you mean to us is finally starting to come on. Yay!❤
Pete, you are positively changing the lives of so many with simply sharing your experience and knowledge. Thank-you and please keep going as long as you can.
Your videos are very comforting to me. I watch them all. This is the way I grew up. I wish we could all go back to the old ways. So much simpler.
Pete, I found your channel because of your dexter cattle videos. I've stayed for something far greater.
This is what you mean to me. I'm the youngest in my family. Most of the people that I looked up to growing up passed when I was a child or my early teens. I lost my dad when I was 18, he was only 53. That was 20 years ago. My mother remarried, and my step dad is a very good man, but he doesn't have the same interests that my father and grandfather had. You remind me so much of what I've lost. Your ability to do whatever you put your mind to. Your desire to learn new things and to share that with others. Your love for the land and how that love is displayed in your care of it. Your sense of reason when all else is going crazy. That was my dad. You have given me more than you know just by being here. As always, thank you!
We love you all
Pete, I'm 14 years old and I love the place that watching your videos creates.
But OF COURSE Pete.....you're U-tube's official "calming room" which many enjoy (especially of a winter's evening) so please keep on keepin' on!
First thing this morning I turned on my TV to see if you have a new video. My heart feels much lighter because your video lifted me up as it always does. I look forward to seeing the tractor come together looking like new again. Pete, my dear husband has been ill for quite some time now mostly from age related symptoms. When he sits down to watch tv he always asks if Pete has anything. Thank you for what you do for us and especially for adding to his day. We love you, Betty in Michigan
You are by far the best channel to watch on CZcams. Wait for your videos to come out each week. I love watching you work on your old farm it just the way I always would love to live but you’re doing great and I’m gonna watch you every week. Keep up the good work.
It's been about 18 months.
Maybe more since the last time I watched your videos for no reason other than my own personal life.
It's refreshing to come back and see, basically the same Chanel, just with an extra 350k followers.
Don't change.
And thankyou.
I traveled to 13 countries across three continents and 11 US states last year. Whenever I had Internet, I made sure to catch up on your channel. No matter what I was doing, I made certain to find out how you were doing. You do matter. Thank you. 😊
As always, your videos, commentaries, and content speak volumes to who you are and what you believe in. Thank you for all you do and the effort you put into making this world a better place.
Well said, Pete-as always, in your beautiful, soft spoken, articulate way. A precious moment, with the chickens clucking in the background. Soothes my spirit in deep ways nothing else does. Thank you so much for all your many gifts, for sharing your place and your world with us. Sorry-sad about Billy.
Pete, your honesty, heart, and even your humor are what makes your videos so great. We need alot more of those qualities in all our lives, today more than ever. For me personally I grew up in your area. I left there at 21, 63 now, for work in a big city. Your videos take me back to the fun days on my grandfather's farm, and you remind me of the quality of the people back then. While I'm watching your videos I can feel the tension of the day disappear, replaced by calm. You be you, and keep up the great work.
You are one of the few channels I thoroughly enjoy. The farm life is so peaceful to watch. My daily grind is so stressful. This channel is a breath of fresh air. Keep doing exactly what you are doing please it's appreciated!
You are very inspiring, you have helped my drive my passion to start my farm here in Chenango forks, as well as sharing it on CZcams. After meeting you, eating your steaks, I was sold on the lifestyle. Currently have 2 pigs that are scheduled to be butchered where you go. I found them because of you and I found some purpose in life along the way. I’m only a few months into this journey but it certainly has been a fun adventure. Building from scratch is a challenge, but challenges build character and I feel that is something most people as young as I am lack. Thank you for what you do.
Pete l totally agree with you. Watching your channel bring back my young days when I would go help my uncle on his farm. Thanks for that. Please keep it up.
Thank you Pete. Just ... Thank you.
Pete, you’re America’s (rural) neighbor. The kind you could rely on and feel comfort knowing they have your back.
Pete I have watched all your videos and for me sitting here as a retired widower with a farming and engineering background, you put the "order back into a disordered world" that we now live in, and I for one thank you for all you do and share with us. Thanks from Scotland.
It has always been difficult for me to put into words what I see, what I feel, what I believe...so I am thankful to hear you speaking about the comments you received because I can say, "Yes, that is how I feel. That is what your channel gives me." I am very thankful to the folks out there who shared with you as you share with us. A calm place to visit is so important. Just who you are means so much to me and inspires me to keep keeping on. I am so thankful to be out of the everyday job market dealing with all of the stress. You wouldn't believe that a public library could be stressful but supervising anyone is stressful. I miss the wonderful people but not all of the rules and the b.s. that I was supposed to enforce daily. Watching today has reminded me of my "escape" and I am thankful for my little corner of sanity and the humanity that I experience through your channel. Thank you so much.
Pete, you hit the nail on the head. We love the simplicity and pure joy of working on a small farm and raising two young boys on a small farm and raising them in the slow and steady, simple small farm life is so important to us. We loving having your channel to relate to and go to very often for advise on cattle, pastures, and old tractors (we have my grandpas farm all Super H). We APPRECIATE you!!
My friend Pete, my family has had farms, little farms, but I watched my Granddaddy and Daddy work so hard growing things, vegetables and hogs, during their “time off” from their real jobs. Sometimes we kids were volunteered to help.
Your videos take me back to a happy time. Don’t stop making them. And I truly, truly loved watching your hog raising. I know it was getting harder, but consider replacing Billy so you can have more pigs. The “piggers” are so funny. The Lord bless you and Hillary.
Pete, I love your videos because I grew up on a small farm. The sounds on the farm between the periods of silence are just so refreshing to the soul. The chickens clucking, the tractor running, the geese flying over, the birds chirping, and on and on. So peaceful.
The change of seasons on the farm seem to always brings about new beginnings and it sounds like the viewer comments to your video about approaching the end have refreshed your soul and reminded you of the importance of your channel.
Also, I think you were way too critical about yourself when you said you weren’t good at maintaining things in the prior video. Just look around at how well you maintain things on the farm and those beautiful reds tractors sitting behind you near the end of this video are a perfect example.
Thanks for all you do.
Pete we couldn’t be more thankful and excited to hear your thoughts. Watching these videos makes my wife and I so happy and give us a peaceful time at the end of our days. We love the farm life and until we buy our own, this is the next best thing. Thank you for all you do.
Pete you truly are a blessing to us that watch you. I don't catch all of your video's. But when I do, I so enjoy them. I'm going to be 74 this year and you bring back so much of what I grown up with. Was raised on a farm and not a lot of money. But it made me strong, and my husband and I are doing good. Keep doing what you do because you make so many of us happy. Take care and stay healthy.
As I've said before, Keep on keeping on & don't change anything! You guys bring not only some common sense to this world but a type of peace many of us long for & something I miss dearly living on the land. Cheers from Australia !
Pete, My wife and I are both aerospace engineers that own our own company. You are a guiding post for us. Your approach to farming brings back memories for me personally as I was raised on a farm in Howard County Maryland. There are so many lessons that you teach us! We’re always learning and we like your perspective on life and the farming culture you bring to the channel. We can’t wait for the next posting. It’s 1000x better than the evening news! Much continued success ! Dave and Terri Miller MERC Aerospace
Billy, Billy, Billy... ya got ONE job to do. Now you've violated the #1 man-card qualification. No bueno ameeeeego.
God bless you, Pete/Hilarie. Lookin' like you've survived one more winter. Warmer sunshine is just around the corner.
You are a breath of fresh air to many, I like your concern for your viewers trying give us a pick into your familys life. I appreciate you'll keep up the good work.
It’s always the same. The few bad apples spoil the barrel. I’m sat here smiling that you are continuing YOU. I can’t watch you videos when I’m in a hurry. I have to sit and take it in slowly to make the enjoyment last. Keep it up. Thank you. 🙏
Pete, you are an EXCELLENT teacher! You bring your family heritage - and the life shaped by faith, family, and farming - to a world that sorely needs it. The last 50 to 100 years, the powers that be have been hell bent on destroying civilization. Thank you for maintaining and passing the wisdom of your parents and grandparents to your friends your age, and those the age of your children and future grandchildren. Thank you so much and may God bless and protect you all
Showing the old dump in the woods brought back very strong memories . As children we played on farms outer boundaries. You didn’t mess with the farm the farmers never cared about you playing in their wooded areas. Later I hunted most of those spots . Always took a pheasant up to the main house.
Pete nothing makes me happier than seeing your videos pop up. They put me in the proper mind set as to how I was raised and what’s near and dear to my heart and where I hope to one day retire back to.
We’re new subscribers, but my Husband and I have been watching you for awhile. The one thing that stands out to us is the peacefulness in your videos. That’s a gift. You all also remind us of family. We were born and raised in upstate New York but have been residing in Florida for longer than we’d like. We love your corny jokes. They remind us of our Dads, which are no longer with us. Your family and your videos are a joy. Thanks for sharing!!
Pete, I started watching your channel, because of the genuine, honest, and educational person you are. I was forced to retire earlier than I had planned, due to mobility problems. I thought my life was over, and worried how I would get around. Watching your videos has taught me that no matter what life throws at me, I should always do my best and be thankful for what I have. You truly help more people than you will ever know, mostly because of your thoughtfulness, and caring for others. Please continue to post your videos, I know I appreciate each and every one of them, and you will never know how much good you have provided those of us who weren't sure tomorrow would come. Thank you Pete and Hilary.
Pete, your comments were spot on including the disdain for the pettiness that some have. I am one that will follow you regardless of interests or changing interests. Your (and Hillary’s) reasonableness, philosophical down to earth videos are very calming and brighten my days. The world definitely needs more like you. 👍
Thank you Pete,I hope you have a great night. Also you are an important person in a lot of our lives.I personally have learned a lot from you.I bet that roast tasted delicious.
PETE!!! It's soooo good to see your baby blues smiling again. In your previous video your eyes were so sad and it brought tears to my eyes. I'm sooo glad to see you uplifted and back on track! You certainly do impact many people from many lands. I live in Wesatern Australia in an apartment and dream to be on a farm! Your peacefulness and serenity is priceless to me. God bless you, your family, your animals and your purpose. Sending you much love. 😀❤ Here's to new beginings! 🌱
What a shame that Billy hasn’t discovered his calling, but so glad you have been rem8nded our yours! We love you & Hillary and thank you for the tidbits of wisdom & humor.
I so enjoy your videos. Your voice is so calm and soothing. The videos are my release. Just sit, relax, and absorb wisdom. Thanks again, Pete, for all you do for us. ❤
Oh Pete so glad to see you going around your farm doing your chores ❤thanks for sharing your day with us on the farm I love it …everyone thumbs up this video if you agree ❤
Good to see you smiling, Pete!! You make a lot of people's lives better through your channel. If you can do that and enjoy what you are doing, all is good!!
I really enjoy how happy the cows are when they get new bedding. It's kinda like changing the sheets on the bed. It feels so nice and fresh . I like your style Pete, keep on keepin' on.
Hi, I'm Glenn from Australia. I'm 68, feel like 28, you are the kind of tradesman I met as a 17 year old Heavy Machinery apprentice in 1973. Don't change. I love those guys and how they brought me up.
Pete, Im so glad that you have come to the realization of how important what you do and what your little farm means to your viewers. I find myself in the twilight of my chosen career after 30 plus years. I was lost and looking for the next challenge, when i had the good fortune to find you and you channel. You, your channel and your family enlightened me to what I think deep down i knew all along. I wanted to work the land, grow my own beef and be happy. Now i am working towards that goal. Thank you for what you do and sharing your wisdom and family with us. Never doubt the positive impact you have.
Double yes to your reflections on this video! What you do does make a difference to those of us who watch you. What you do is meaningful. Thank you!
Hi Pete we watch all your videos. And enjoy them. I am 65 years old and was raised in California, every summer I would go to my grandparents farm in Utah that was the best of times. So when I watch your videos it bring me back to the good days. We look forward to seeing your next video & enjoy life
Pete , you do a great job at simply showing us the true quality of a slow paced life enjoying the days , the seasons and the joys of working at what you love. You have a knack of bringing this satisfying life to a multitude of people. Ignore the negative thoughts of some people who will never see or understand finding the good in life by simply being content with your lot. I live in Australia and l have land but l just give it over to the wild life and my family three generations live here in love and joy at watching the seasons past and our boys grown. I am the grandmother and take great joy in that. Thank you for taking the time to share Chris from Australia ❤️
In England, Christmas Trees in coastal areas are used to form the foundations of dunes. They allow a rapid accumulation of sand, airborne and from the tides. The trees provide protection against coastal erosion for decades. Far more useful than a spectacular fire each New Year!
Pete, you are an inspiration to me, a shining light in an era lacking much. The farm and it's daily and seasonal chores create a rhythm of life that sustains you both. Keep going
You and your channel have definitely made a sorely needed connection with society at large. There is a crying need for honor, ethics, stability, patriotism, work ethic, humor and loyalty in our society. You, Hilarie, your family and your farm tick all of those boxes. It is a great responsibility. Thank you for taking it on and for taking all of us along for the ride. I hope that it will be as rewarding for you as it is for all of us. Take heart and stay strong. Thank you, Pete.
Pete, the real hero in your videos is Hilarie. Admirable how she takes your jokes, like today the one about the people who sleep in socks, or before the one about the guy who evaporated. At least, you spared her the one about the bankrupt trampolin company :-)! What I really want to say: Thanks for all your videos, be it about farming or about diving into the transmissions of the red tractors, they are priceless!
Farming is journey, not a destination and your willingness to humbly share yours with the world is a reminder of what it means to be a human being conscious of where the food comes from and what it takes to get from farm to table. I am forever grateful for showing me your ways...
Our cows were always exited for new bedding. They’d come in bucking , kicking, running around. Was fun to watch
Living nearby and having met you early on in your farming life, I've seen you do your thing and been a customer for a long time. I bought and read and passed on your book. My husband and I have watched your videos with interest because we are the age of your parents and have seen a lot of changes over a long life. My husband is a gardener; I grew up on a farm. We relate to your content. When I saw your last video, I was dismayed at first, but then, I read the comments. Wow! I was blown away by the width and depth of your CZcams reach. So many serious viewers responded, those who have been inspired to try farming themselves, and others who just love the easy rhythm of your videos and enjoy the content. One of the things that amazed me most was the number of people who have watched for years but never had NEVER made a comment before. Ever. About anything! I know a lot of people never comment, and the fact that they were moved to comment for the very first time said it all. They felt compelled to tell you how much they enjoy the videos and how much it has meant to them, lest you disappeared without knowing that truth. Amazing, Pete, just amazing!
Don't stop Pete, the world needs more of you guys. And more farmers who can teach that groceries don't magically come from the grocery store.❤
Pete, I am extremely happy for you and for we, the viewers, Thanks for sharing yourself with us.
Just keep being you. I love watching you and your wife, love watching you interact with the animals!!!
