We're transforming this 90 acre property into a self reliant homestead and farm stay vacation rental. We're building infrastructure to accomodate future growth such as barns, duck house, 7 coop chicken house, water hydrants, planting an orchard, building a garden etc. Chickens, ducks, geese, mini pigs, rabbits, a bunch of barn cats and two old english sheepdogs make up our team here at the farm. Please follow along on our journey of transforming this place into something special.

Molly’s memory will be in our hearts forever. Thanks so much for all the support and loving words from you all. The critters on the farm are doing ok & this vlog is a good update on everything going on while we adjust to not having our best girl around. Enjoy the episode 💜💜💜

Morning Chad and darlin. We will never forget Molly. Glad to see you trying to cope and heal. It's good to see all of the animals again. Take care.

Chad, you are in the ‘stages of grief’ right now and it is indeed what it is. It’s hard to believe that one day the thoughts of Molly will bring smiles and not tears, but it will. Your land will sooth your sadness and give you back your zest for life. Patience my friend, you are not alone on this journey, but are in the hearts and minds of lots and lots of us.

Chad, my tears ran every day since Monday, i am so very sorry and miss Molly very much. I feel for Olive and the other animals as they know Molly isn’t there with them. I know your Darling misses Molly so much too. You and Molly were the center of the farm and always will be. Olive will want to run with you everywhere too. My thoughts and prayers are for you all!😢😢❤

[esthergerrish]

I’m sad for olive😢 being tethered. Maybe you can put a sign on your gate telling visitors that animals are wandering loose please use caution and slow down.

To allow Olive to roam around the farm get her a Halo collar - you can program it to where she can't go. They can be expensive - I would donate and I'm sure many of your followers would pitch in as well so Olive can still roam.

It's great that you have the farm, it's so important to keep going despite the grief and farm work is so therapeutic. Plus the animals are hilarious as always, they're the best medicine. Big boss Fozzie always makes me smile

[deniseellenburg]

What ifs won't change what happened. Sometimes accidents happen. Tragic as they may be, they are simply accidents. Don't punish the other animals and deny them the freedom offered by the farm out of fear over what might or could occur. It couldn't have been prevented unfortunately.

[cindyleonard]

I know you alwys do what is best for your animals
I hate to see Olive not being free to enjoy the farm. Gate and no cars on the farm
Love y'all and all your snimals

Oh my dear Chad, I choked up for years after my young cat George Clooney passed away, but talking about him, remembering funny things about him bought me laughter and tears and helped me breath better so keep talking about Molly, ❤ she is emortalized in all your videos never to be forgotten. Such a beautiful girl, bless you Molly. R.I.P. sweetheart, we all miss you so much especially your daddy and darling. Although your animals may not notice Molly's absence, they adore you, love those babies following you! So cute!❤ But you have all this abundance of fur love, enjoy them!!! Big hugs, stay safe and I'm so happy to see this vlog. 💙

Good morning Chad and Darling. I am so happy to see the two of you and the amazing animals on the farm. I, too, have cried so much and have hurt for you and your lovely wife. Molly is beautiful and will be truly missed. I think Olive is a blessing and things do happen that we can't explain or understand in this life. You two are such good and loving people it gives me great inspiration every time I watch your videos. I love the farm and all the animals and it brings me such peace. Until next time. God Bless.

Hello Canadian friend! My husband and I have only followed your adventures since moving in to our new and first home and farm. You, your wife and animals have captivated our hearts and I’ve gotten so much wisdom from you both on gardening and animals. When I saw what happened to Molly I cried with you 😭 Molly and Olive are amazing dogs and fur babies.

This morning, we were blessed to bring an 8 week old Australian shepherd into our home. Was not planned! I immediately thought of you and your beloved dog, so we named her Molly. She will be an amazing sheep herder. I shared this with you so that you’ll know in some small way, Your Molly lives on in name of another. Bless your heart..

[brendaogle-emif]

Chad another thought. Put signs up entering your property and along the slow no faster then 5 miles an hour. Animals running anyway something like that. Please don't keep Olive tied up

[denisegilmore]

I have no doubt the manual work you have to do will help you through this rough time. I hope Olive and the kitties will comfort you. ❤

[nokchilton]

I’m glad to see you back! Maybe introduce the speed limit for the guests around the farm to prevent the car accident like in the UK as it’s so unfair for Olive to limit her movement?

[Kitty_cat]

Chad I’m from central Victoria Australia & I watch your videos regularly & will always remember your baby Molly R.I.P. Please fence off the section where the visitors park. Thinking of your family & all animals ❤

[evelynfleury]

I’m so so sorry you lost Molly. The love you have for your animals and farm is incredible. I just ran across your channel on Facebook and on YouTube and it is honestly my favorite channel and I shared to my kids and special friends. I am called the cat lady here and have 16 barn cats and work with a TNR organization. My animals are my life now that my kids are grown with their own families. I truly can feel the love you had for Molly and it brings tears to my eyes and I feel your sadness. You are a very special person and I’m glad you were able to tell us all your story and know we support you and love you 💕

[catsaremylife]

Chad just an idea. It may be a big job but maybe put in speed bumps on the road/driveway? Also putting up signs on the driveway with pictures of Olive and the Cats stating to the visitors that they are roaming the farm.

[basicearth]

Its good to see you back! . Like you said it was a freak accident. Olive doesn't understand why she can't run and play, and go see Maggie too!

[ladyjay]

Number 1 ...I want to say I am so sorry you lost your beloved Molly. I send you prayers and hugs. 2. If you put a handful of rabbit poop on your raspberries, they will do great. Well take care, God Bless from Michigan.
