The way our farm generates revenue is very different than most farms do, but it is very much a business. If it were just a "hobby farm," I'd advise any sane person to find a new hobby. In addition to raising almost all our own food, I work in cooperation with several other farmers to sell items privately and at farmer's markets. I raise and sell livestock, dairy, meat and hay, but we don't do anything on a large enough scale to generate measurable income beyond covering all the costs incurred by various farming endeavors: the purchase of livestock, the cost of feed, seeds, other farm incidentals, the occasional small infrastructure and/or implement purchase. Big infrastructure/improvement costs, the cost of purchasing our land, and the cost of my time would bankrupt a small farm business like this in a hurry if it weren't for the real purpose of the farm, which is as a mechanism for my education business: I write for several magazines and travel the country teaching workshops about small scale farming, homesteading and self-sufficiency/traditional skillsets. It would be possible to generate more income from the farming endeavors, but there is a law of diminishing returns there. I enjoy the scale I currently do things, and scaling further would make it a lot less enjoyable for me personally, because I don’t really have any intention of leaving my full time job- the balance is fun for me.

What a beautiful geese. You even gave them name. That is indicating that how's much you love them

Love love your animal's names. Keep the name Butter. It's perfect. Your videos are both informative and entertaining.

I love all the names of all the animals. 💜

Jnull0 made a self starting fan for his rabbits using computer fans and a small solar panel on top of the rabbit pen. When the sun shines the fan turns on. Really looks good for keeping rabbits cool.

Thank you! I love seeing your animals 🐕🐝🌲🌻

Best commentary every. Was fun to listen to and also watch!!!

We had artisan growing up. Flow went to a giant bathtub, pump from the bathtub to the house with overflow to the pond. BEST water ever. AND we never were without water when we were without power. Many times we went with buckets and kettles to the water tank

Great video production Anne and Adam, love the tour and all the animals. Wonderful to see you and them all so happy and healthy.

Love ur energy towards ur animals ur blessed

Anne, what an amazing farm you have! Who would guess how much work it takes, you are amazing!

I like everything about your 800,100 animals,and above all,your sense of humour and Lucy.

I just found your channel after you did a collab with Goldshaw Farms. You talk to your animals the way I talk to mine and its so satisfying.

If you freeze water bottles full of water and drop them in the animals water supplies it helps..they will have ice cold water

This is like heaven to me tbh. I wish i could have a farm one day.

I love the idea of having your own farm and growing your own food and having animals :)

I love this video! Glad I found your channel.

I love your videos! I started watching you five years ago for the woodworking and now also for the homesteading!

Great tour, Anne. Thank you very much.

Love it! Thank you so much for posting this! It reminded of the time decades ago, that I got the crap beat out of me by three geese on my cousin's farm in update NY! Good times.

That’s hella animals. I raised rabbits at my mom’s house and chickens and roosters at my grandparents house growing up. My uncle raises chickens in his backyard.

Wow, what a way to start your day! Thank you for sharing it!

Oh my goodness, I enjoyed this video so much. Especially those names Aretha Franklin and Kevin Bacon. You're a hoot! Thanks for the tour.

Great video and animal tour, you certainly have so much variety and smart critters. You and Adam have put together an excellent tutorial of caring for all the managerie, thank you for sharing this!

I love how the cow at the end is just creeping up on you its so cute❤😂

Oh my … I thought I had a lot of animals Mad respect girl! Blessings on you

You can save you dogs hair for birds for their nests and you can spin it for making your own yarn!❤😊

You should try 45% vinegar to spray under electric fence wire so you don't have to weed eat all the time.

Oh. NO WASTED STEPS!. I think I remember having that conversation with you.

Hey Anne! It was so nice meeting you tonight at the VIP dinner. I’m sorry I was so emotional. I really like “Butter!” I kinda like Better Cheddar too though - it’s a little long though? Jeffrey’s a STUD! 😂 Let me know when it’s time to have kids! I’ll come help (and maybe relieve you of a couple if you’d like to sell some). We have 3 Nigerian dwarves now. We are still new to it - never kidded or milked…a goat. The clip idea is a pretty cool trick! I want jersey for dairy and dexter for meat too! I’ll have to work on the hubby for the dexter though. He’s excited about angus. The disease testing video was very informational and perfectly timed for me since I’m looking now for my dairy cow. I’ve done one farm visit but struggling to find a2/a2 no grain dairy lines.

Hey! It was so great chatting last year. Looking forward to this year! Shoot me an email marketing@anneofalltrades.com and we can get you on the list for some babies! When cow time comes, look into getting a Jersey/Dexter (Belfair) girl if you can, a2a2 is more likely in that cross, the teats are generally better for hand milking, and it’s way easier to keep dairy cows fat on grass without grain because dexters are much easier keepers than jerseys. Bonus, Jersey/Dexter beef is the best beef I’ve ever had, and you can do AI obviously, but if you ever have to get a bull, Dexter bulls are super gentle, but I’d NEVER recommend getting a Jersey bull. They’re a nightmare on small farms.

Fantastic

Just a small tip. The alpacas are less likely to choke if you place their food at ankle height. Gives them a chance to swallow before lifting their heads. That and soaking the pellets helps a lot!
