In this family vlog, the household tackles a day of outdoor chores and indoor cooking. The parents coordinate the containment of escaped chickens after a poultry‑wire failure, repair the fence, and discuss a family member’s recent mastitis. They assign tasks for checking a cow’s udder and a pig’s health, then move on to preparing a 1,200 sq ft garden plot: marking beds, installing sandbags, and using three broadforks to create straight paths and beds. Throughout the work, they trade responsibilities—sandbag placement, tarp setup, and line marking—while keeping an eye on the weather. After a productive day, they transition to the kitchen to make chicken fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and green beans, delegating breading, peeling, and table‑setting duties among the kids and adults. The vlog blends practical instruction, family interaction, and a casual, enthusiastic tone, highlighting both the challenges of small‑scale farming and the joy of shared meals.

There's a turd floating in that.
Uh-oh.
All right, remember how yesterday I raised this up to cool them off? The chickens don't miss a beat jumping up and getting out. Or do you think you guys let them out accidentally this morning?
No, I doubt it, because I don't really want to close that.
Let's herd them around and then through here. We'll leave that door open while we're over here. This is today's project. Flipping this garden bed, getting as far as we can. So let's get these chickens in, let's get the chores done, and let's do that.
Even with it shut though, We've, we've come up—
we've— our poultry wire's come off. Let's see how long we have to get the staple gun. You're gonna stretch it down. So that's where they got out. Maybe it wasn't these top— no, it wasn't. Although they can jump that high. See, they can jump that high. Did you see the rooster just jump on that? Hey, look who's up! How's your mask status?
It's much better. I still don't feel great. I feel just weak from it all, but I feel much better. Much better. You didn't see her in the vlog yesterday because dealing with mastitis.
You poor thing, and the sacrifice you make for the chiddlers. Hey bro, I need you to go do the cows please. Hey, why are you so anxious to get started on the garden? Because he is not a garden fan. All right, go do the cows please. What do you think, Mom? Looks like she looked a little red around the udder.
Which one is it?
Is it udder on It's not a— is it an udder on a pig?
I think so. Yeah, she's got a ways to go. Yeah, it's looking real juicy looking at her vulva.
Yeah, it doesn't look inflamed, like red. A lot of blood back there.
I think she's closed.
Ties the twine line from there to there. What are y'all doing?
We're playing horses.
Okay, take a break. Take a break from playing horse.
Can you put this in for us, Papa?
Sure, but do this. I'll do that for you, you do this for me. Over there, put the tarp down and put more sandbags on it.
Okay.
2 sandbags each. Go get more sandbags. The sandbags are towards the house. They do something for me, I'll do something for them. Thank you, guys. We got our posts up to mark our 42 inches, 12 inches for a path, 30 inches for a garden bed. Grandma's calling though, she's missing something for the cream separator. Note to self, I absolutely must prune that today before it starts sprouting. Sprouting? Budding.
I can't get this one open.
Okay, that's a tough one.
Yeah, I wonder who put it on.
Grab a rod for Put it to use, okay?
Okay.
Broadforking is the bottom here, and we have 3 broadforks. Now we'll do a line across so that we can dig our path straight. Let me show you what I want here. I'll show you how easy it can be. You don't even have to stand on it. Just put one foot on it and go back and forth. The temptation is like that. That's not how these are designed. Keep it back and forth.
Okay, we did it, guys!
We did it! 5 more beds. We're gonna leave plenty of room here to walk by so we don't have to walk in our drainage system for our greenhouse. I'm gonna have the kids— kids cover it up. They say we're out of sandbags. Oh wow, we are out of sandbags. Here's one, 2 more. Just use the ones we have. We're gonna have to hope it works. We have a good productive day in the office. Time to make supper. Oh, it looks like it's gonna storm, huh? Yeah, Mom and I have been hankering for chicken fried chicken since we saw it in a show we watched on Saturday. They had the classic chicken fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and green beans. There we go. Although, do we have green beans?
Yeah, in the freezer.
Okay, you're in charge of the breading. Josiah's peeling the potatoes. Where's your charge? Oh, peeling potatoes. Hey Gideon, could you do a better job watching the baby? Come on, get off the screen. Come on, you interact with him. Maybe pull him from the corner. The beautiful one's gonna teach us a trick.
Well, I don't know if this is just filleting chicken breasts.
That's just a trick. This is just what I do when I'm cutting weight on it and cut in half.
Yep.
All right, there you go. So how much is a pound? Do you think a half a breast like that is a pound? I don't know, it's probably pretty close. Think about it, it's 4 or 5 pounds. In your freezer. Well, that's— how did you know how much to do bedding?
I just did some.
I just rolled it. All right.
And then you did— she wants you to drag it back and forth.
Get the cookbook, y'all. Yeah, I just did some.
I just did— I just did some. I can make more if I need it. All right, good. What I felt like.
That looks delicious. She did a good job. Mashed potatoes. There's your plate.
