Acres of Clay Homestead
United States
Приєднався 28 лют 2019
Welcome! We are a family of 6 living on Acres of Clay.
My husband (Kevin) and I (Ronda) own and operate a Dairy Farm in Michigan.
Although farming is our way of life, we are also
very passionate about being self-sufficient and living off the land as much as possible.
We raise cattle, chickens, and turkeys.
We also grow a garden and preserve much of the harvest.
We share videos of helpful ideas for homesteading, farming, do it yourself projects, gardening, and repairs.
We also post videos about gardening in zone 5b, food preserving, and recipes.
Our desire is to inform people of real-life farming practices and show you our life on the homestead.

Rye cover crop is growing and we need to get it fertilized before the rain comes. After several days of rain, farmer was able to get back into the seat of the excavator and drop a dead tree from our pasture. I make some whipped tallow, which is great for the skin. The chicks are out growing their little brooder and I need to move them into the bigger one. Thanks for watching!! Mackenzie and Set...

Beautiful job on the deck Rhonda, would you like to come and do mine ? Kenzie looks stunning ,are you sure she is not expecting ? Where an i get that t shirt ,my daughter would love it.
👍👍👍
Yanasa channel has been warning michigan dairy farmers about dairy cows and milk production. The gov seems to be on farmers backs. Is this true? They want to shut them down and buy farms?
I haven't heard any of this.
@@acresofclayhomestead check out yanasa then
Thank you for showing the twin calves being fed.
Me also like to work in your garden😊
Lifting water to artificial farm pond formed on an Elivated place 👍
Are The sides And other side already polished?
Not seen such a Dairy farm in India 👍
Happy Birthday 🎉🎉
Your garden is looking great
Thanks!
Always great team work and content
In the wintertime you should have a heat room to detox in. 🙂
Hopefully it's an easy fix!
What do you do with dead animals?
I can remember when i worked on a farm for 3 years every time we had to tube a calf seems like they either died any how or they just did real poorly
A true farmer comment, “you sacrifice some to get more.”
I watch all your videos very nice to watch. Thanks.
Glad you like them!
Hi
I love your videos on your family farm, and I love the color on your deck, good choice of color 👌
Thank you so much!
Great video!! It sure has been hot here on west Michigan! With AC it really makes it hard to get back out into the heat. AC is nice to have for sleeping the nights it doesn’t cool off.
Great family!!😇!😇!😇!😇?I!😇!😇!😇!😇
The heat wave is affecting many areas of the USA and a few parts of Canada. Calgary, Alberta is also dealing with a major water main break that supplies over half of the city. We have not had the hot hot weather like some areas of rest of North America. It is unfortunate that you lost a calf to the heat. Happy Birthday Sydney.
Bravo Rhonda and Kevin great viewing farm and your family the best blessings
I think GOD put you in this world for a special reason. Somebody has to take care of animals and human , So i think he chosed you. You are a beautiful and good person with a good family. May GOD bless you and yours forever.
Happy Birthday to Sidney. Great job on that beautiful deck. Your garden is looking awesome.
I hope your garden is doing well!
@@acresofclayhomestead fighting tomato worms lol
Ugh, always fighting something. Today, I saw my first cucumber beetle. 😞
@@acresofclayhomestead squash bugs usually wipe us out every year, but every year we still try. lol I hate them so much. 😂
Thanks for the tour.
That sky was interesting.
Looking Beautiful love you all. Gorgeous calves, great to see McKenzie Beautiful sunset sending love to you all ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Mackenzie.... exploding 💥 soap? That gives a new meaning to "bath bombs". 😂
😂😂
garden looks great ............all kids doing good!
I don't care about detoxing I just don't want to spend the money on central air conditioning even though I have it
We are the same fans at our place where I work but the wheels are always broken on them
Same weather here in the south suburbs of Chicago
We don't have air conditioning and are in VA where it is hot and humid, we are used to the heat and don't think about it.
blackberries reminds me of my childhood come home with a bucket load for pies
Thanks
carrot cake with cream cheese icing. yum
Some stains are way better than others. Trial and error until the one stain lasts more than one year outside in the rain and snow. The deck looks good and looks like it'll last.
Have to agree the ac is false air try to live without it
You should keep your bottles up to keep the air out of them
porch turned out great !
Thanks!
Happy Birthday Sydney.
hey i was just looking fore the soap Mackenzie makes and the price is fair it is 50 Kroner but the PP is 150 kroner, and then it gets way to ekspansive for me to order here in Denmark, but i wish her all the best with the sales :)
Hard work in the heat , but will pay back in the end. has Kevin got Irish roots ?
No he doesn't
Another great video!
Thanks!
I also live in Michigan 😊
