Our videos focus on small farm life, and are targeted toward people interested in understanding more about small farming, sustainable farming methods, or who wish to vicariously live the farm life!
Just a Few Acres is a 45 acre seventh generation family farm in Lansing, NY, in operation since 1804. We are a diversified livestock farm, providing high quality, healthy meats directly to consumers in our community. All our livestock is grown using a grass-based diet, and we focus on a low-stress life for our animals. We operate our farm using sustainable practices, building healthier soil every year through innovative grazing methods. We believe a small family farm can still be a viable business in today’s “bigger is better” world, and that small farms supplying locally grown food to their communities can create a more resilient, healthy, and meaningful agricultural system.

Hi Pete, those bucket bushes are carburised hardened steel, the pins are induction hardened and probably chromed, you may get away with the home made bushes if you can select the right material, but don't skimp on the pins, I saw a cat loader get destroyed because an engineering company did a dodgy home made job on a set of pins. love your work, keep on keeping on mate!
Thank you for the garden update.
I was hoping you were going to say....let us get back to work..... 😂
Double the paper..
Overlay....
C&C Equipment are specialists for pins etc.
"watch Jr go" KZread channel got one of these 1020 tractors going that had been locked up on a hill for years. Theirs is a 1929 model.
👍
5/20/24..great to see you working the excavator & replacing the worn bushings in t bucket assembly. Hope to see more of your maintenance activities on this excavator...humm...at some future point, yur excavator may be inside your garage for other repairs⚙️🔩🔧& paint...Red? Anxious to see your vegies growing up vertically & bounding over on both sides; then your video edit takes us to the steaming bowl of those green beans with thin coat of melted butter running down the twisted 'nest' of fresh garden beans! Yummy!😋👍
Thanks Pete and Hillary ❤
Hello Pete,Hillary garden looks great nice work, enjoyed your video have a great day.
Fascinating, and amazing. Really good job.
I’m excited to watch you learn how to use/fix/maintain the excavator!!
Great stuf Pete enjoy your dinner
Not boring, efficient with energy investment in verbal communication 🤩
It just takes practice Pete
Be careful with walking into a trench. They can cave in.
What I have found with tomatoes once they grow to a reasonable sized I give them a little bit of sulphate of potash within a couple of weeks they will flower like crazy as we all know flowers are tomatoes
Boy have I got a job for you on that new toy,
When I need a touch of normal...
Thanks for the video, Pete. 👍👍
Hilary is the best wife ever!! What a project🤩
Keep the video's coming.
Hi from Dexter🏠Missouri

Not sure why you ask what we think, when you most likely have your mind made up.
What do they call alligators in Texas....cowboy boots
Well Pete I watch you on tv but I like your videos on here and tv.
It's great at your place, it's so good, it's nice.
I sure envy your free compost. Here in Arkansa, I go to a saw mill and pay ten dollars for all the saw dust I can carry. Then I compost it with coffee grounds, char left over from my burning old trees and even the shells from all the eggs I eat. I’ve already used this year’s compost. I have already started the one for next year and will start one latter in the summer for the year after compost. Yip I sure do envy you and your free compost. Later

HAIL to PITT! 😏
Came home from a long day at work... beat and so very tired. Got online and saw your newest video and boy did I perk up. :) Fixed me a fine chicken sandwich and a tall glass of iced tea, kicked back and enjoyed every moment of your gardening and piddling around the farm with your new excavator. What a great way to end the day. Thank you for the peaceful interlude. Good night.
Keep up the great work!!! Hope to see y'all this year. We made a trip last year but we had bad timing on our part 🤣🤣. We didn't get to see you. We're planning another trip to Ithaca in the next few months and I sure hope we get to see you this time. Even though we missed you we still had a blast at the market. What a great trip we had though. Looking forward to it again. ❤
Thank you Pete!
Thanks for sharing your day with us have a great day .
I love Pole Beans, here in South Florida in the sixties they would pick the fields then open them for U-Pick. I thought the bigger the better but mom would yell at me to pick the small ones, I learned. They had fields of Tomatoes, Green Peppers and New Potatoes. My mom would watch out for trespassers for the owner and in turn he gave us free vegetables, just for the family. When he would harvest the Potatoes, his machine wouldn’t pick up the smallest ones, nowadays you pay premium prices for Creamers. He would let my mom have all she wanted (Creamers). She would pull her sixty five Valiant into the field and we would literally fill the trunk, I don’t remember if we filled multiple loads or not. With those potatoes we would give them to friends and family, what we didn’t need. I can remember my mom would tell me to go pick a few Tomatoes and sometimes a Green Pepper or two. I remember getting in trouble ( all of us) one time when my mom caught, me, my brother and my cousins out in the Strawberry fields having Strawberry fights. That didn’t end well, mom believed in corporal punishment. Watching from Panama City Florida,USA. 🇺🇸🦅
My friends and brother always ask how did you remember that. When they needed a street or a name of someone they will still text me with questions like, where was that or what was the name of that place/person. I seems that I remember a lot from my youth. Just Sayin !
Man I can’t tell you how many times I’ve forgotten to turn my wireless mic on and lost videos. Great video regardless, and beautiful garden!
Nice size buns, did you bake them Mrs Larson??
What a great introduction and overview -- I look forward to enjoying the other installments, past and future.
Hey Pete on the Tomatoes, have you ever planted them laying down?
Gosh you'd think those chickens were starving the way they go at that food!
use the thumb more great to have that feature
I bought an excavator last summer, a lot of fun to operate! But there is a learning curve!
fantastic job , i renovated a house similar to that, it wasn't in as bad of shape but close. great work.
Pete and Hilary, Thanks for the great video. Your really making progress learning to operate the Case Mini Excavator. It take time to experiment with controls and how the excavator reacts. There's so much good information on You Tube and etc. on how train a person to learn to operate the machine. Like anything else when you learn the basics. It just takes practice to perfect your skills. If you study an excavator's function. It's like a hydraulic arm . Which function similar to a human arm. Springtime is a busy time on the mixed farm with multiple chores between fencing , planting gardens and pasturing cattle , broiler chickens and pigs. The Burgers look delicious .
Pete, your talk on feeding poultry and pork just proved once again that "Garbage in Garbage out" is true, even beyond the context of computer programming
Thank you and Hilarie for your time. Enjoyable video. Best of luck with the garden and the excavator.
Grass fed beef almost has a buttery flavor to me.
The burgers look great ! Great video, keep up the great work, love them.
Thanks for teaching us the art of practicing and patience. Love the video.
I have JD 26G that came with 24" digging bucket and I bought a 12" . The 12" stays on it 90% of the time. Just digs better. But when loading lose dirt or debris I use the 24". I love my machine just always loved the heavy equipment. And I keep my blade in front 99% of the time. Oh and I live in a valley (ancient river bed) rock rock and more rocks. Have fun I am Anthony in ALABAMA
