“Useless Farm” in Ontario goes viral with its hilarious herd of animals

Many of us turn to social media to find entertainment, or provide it ourselves. During the COVID-19 pandemic, one Ontario farmer did just that – and has since amassed more than 3.5-million followers and nearly 100-million likes on TikTok.

The viral videos of Useless Farm's animal antics have even garnered the attention of Canadian singer Michael Bublé.

No such thing as a Useless Farm. It is obviously a haven for these wonderful animals. Thank you for taking them in.

"Our emu that is absolutely miserable was named Karen before Karen was a thing" That was a good chuckle!

I love the irony of the name Useless Farm. Its such a needed and welcome relief in a time when there can be a lot of sadness. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful creatures with all the world! ❤

She is a national treasure, as precious as the animals she cares for.

At a time when many of us could use extra smiles, this "useless farm" has become so USEFUL in bringing those smiles to people far and wide. And the fact that these critters are enjoying the good life is a win-win for all of us "critter lovers".

Please never quit sharing your precious animals . I just recently came across "useless farm" and I can't get enough. Of course, Karen is my fav. I love how you accept her the way she is. Still don't quite know how the yellow hat works on her. 💓 from West Virginia.

Amanda is a true sweetheart. The videos are a great way to lift your mood when you're feeling a little down.

I love Michael. He is a whole mood. If he were human he'd be a hippie with beads hanging in the doorway, peace signs everywhere, and a loyal grateful dead follower. Loyal to the devil's lettuce too🤣

It really lightens people's lives to be a part of your useless farm and its forever animals. Their antics and your narrated responses are hilarious. 💕

We need to protect her, and her farm. So future generations can learn from her.

Amanda is brilliantly funny and she takes great care of her animals. I love watching her YouTube channel daily. ❤

God Bless her for helping animals! We need more like her.

[MrOwl]

This is Canada! Honestly she’s sums up as a true Canadian big heart! Bless her and her family

Standing ovation to you, for what you do and sharing it all with the world.!

How do I sign up to live on this farm? I am also useless, miserable, anxious, and would just be happy to be involved

[melindam]

The Farm has made me laugh and smile a thousand times. Thank you.

Everyone has problems, even animals but what's interesting here are the different personalities they have. Plus, I think the smile factor here is very important because it also fosters a unique sense of compassion. 🙂

Nothing could be better than watching joy and love between humans and animals while being sincerely themselves 💜
