thanks for watching! If you're planning out your garden next year, potatoes are a fantastic crop to grow that gives you a whole lot of bang for your buck! Garlic is another one that's very worthwhile to plant-- you can get the scoop on that here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmP2BvHfkIE&t=6s

You may find this an odd comment, but that is one of the most wholesome videos I have seen. Three young kids (and their dogs) having fun on the farm helping their mom do chores. That's the way to raise kids. More of America needs to be like this. 👍

No better place for children to be than in the sunshine and dirt!
-
Thank you for putting your children to work and letting them know the absolute joy of riding in the back of the truck! 🥰 Awesome momma!

Those kids will never forget those memories. Remember "The mind never forgets what the hands have learned"
-
Your kids are living a charmed life. They dont know it. Mud, dirt, splashing in all if it plus riding in the back of a truck!!!!

lol, I laughed when she said child labor, it reminds me that the reason we have spring break for school kids is so they could help with the farm way back when everyone farmed.
-
OMG! I LOVED doing this as a child. It was like finding buried treasure. And gathering eggs was a close second. I have the greatest memories and that was some 50+ years ago. These are the luckiest children. ♥️♥️♥️
-
I remember helping my Grampa plant potatoes. He'd always say " make sure you put the eye up or they'll grow down to China". Good memories
-
This is so wholesome. Families like yours are the heart and soul of America, IMO.
-
I like that you have your children learning real life math, organization, and problem solving skills.

I have always stored my potato harvest in dry sand. Carrots, onions, beets, potatoes etc (any root crop) stays fresh like you just picked it when stored in a dry breathable container layered with produce, dry sand, produce, dry sand. This is the way our great grandparents did it and it has worked for hundreds of years. Just forgotten but sad...
-
seeing that boy reach down and munch on that spinach got a laugh out of me, if no one tells you, youre doing it right mom.
-
I love that the kids went right for fresh picked spinach as a snack! Great job, Mom!! 👍
-
"Why is your face so dirty?" "Cause." One of the best answers in the world for a child. Good job mom.

Being 31, I never thought I'd comment like another did on this video. Incredibly wholesome family. Adorable kids helping, storing grown food in the homeschool house, with complete self-sustainabIlity. Coming from a tiny town, and learning to garden myself over the last 10 years (while thinking about children with my fiance), this video really gives me hope. I'm really glad you're homeschooling your children with everything going on as of late. Much over from our home to yours❤️

Watching this took me back 40+ years to my own childhood. Hard work but happy. We did have a root cellar, I dreaded when it was my turn to go fetch something because I feared the cellar spiders. I don't know why I was ever scared of something so small. Thank you for sharing your beautiful life with us.

Country kids are resilient than most city folks. Natural-born survivor🇳🇿👌

I’ve learned to start on the far side of whatever I am doing, and work towards the closest, so that when I am getting tired, I am walking and carrying a shorter distance.

Watching this from Ireland and I really enjoyed it. It did my heart good to see these lovely wee kids mucking in .It was great to see them nawing at the raw potatoes with their muddy hands building up their immune system this is the way it should be. This was very informative and a breath of fresh air. Thank you.
