Nestled in the fertile, mountain valleys of Utah, Ballerina Farm is named after Hannah, a former Miss New York City and graduate of the Juilliard School of Dance. Daniel is a history major and now holds his MBA to guide the ever-growing business. The children are wild, hardworking, and homeschooled by their mother as they learn to farm, rodeo, dance, and grow barefoot and free.

    it's very refreshing to see you guys talking about some of the real life stuff that happens on a ranch/farm.. A lot of people dream about the "homesteading life" without taking into account that there's a lot of death and a that it's a whole lot of work. Thank you for educating and not glamourizing. You guys are my favorite thing on youtube these days, and you help me formulate my dreams. Keep uploading often!

    LoL their whole channel is glamorising traditional farm life without telling you that they are million dollar trust fund babies - I lived on a proper dairy farm - I can tell you real farm life looks a lot different if you don’t come from a family that owns multiple airlines 😅 And I am not hating on them - they doing a good job there are worst millionaires out there but this has nothing to to with refreshing real farming

    No entiendo nada porque no me manejo en inglés pero adoro ver cómo esta familia se maneja perfectamente bien en todos los ámbitos, cómo los hijos crecen de forma amigable en mitad de la naturaleza y de forma más bien tradicional, y hasta he conocido ¡¡cerdos negros!! y gran comedero de gallinas; por cierto, todos esos animales muy bien criados, a juzgar por su apariencia. 👏👏👏👍👌😃😃♥️♥️

    Could you talk a bit about breed and pricing? What does it cost you to raise them? What is the return? What is your take home after taxes? How many pigs do you have? Are they Berkshires? Why that breed? I'm a first generation farmer thinking about raising pigs right now and I'd love to see a video from you all on your experience.

    They are intelligent so I get what your saying but the beautiful thing is that they is a rancher that takes such good care of his animals and gives them a good life. I wish more ranchers had this integrity. Because regardless there will always be a demand for meat so why not support the people that give there animals good lives and respect them.
