Farm Vlog – Baby Bunnies, Rainy Days, Indoor Lettuce & Puppy Cuddles

Welcome back to Andersen Acres! In today’s farm vlog, we finally get a little rain—just enough to settle the dust and give us hope for more. Deli, our beautiful black Rex rabbit, had her litter today! We jump into action to make sure her newborn kits are safe, warm, and dry. It’s always a big day when baby bunnies arrive on the homestead!

I also started my indoor lettuce planting project. With unpredictable weather and curious farm animals outside, I’m trying something new this season. Lettuce indoors? Let’s find out how it goes!

Meanwhile, one of our farm kittens has decided I’m suspicious, but that won’t stop me from winning him over with snuggles. And speaking of snuggles—Tequila’s Great Pyrenees puppies are 10 days old today, and absolutely irresistible. These livestock guardian pups are growing fast and already starting to show their personalities.

If you love animals, hobby farming, or just want a peek into the daily life of a homesteader, you won’t want to miss this video!

Farm Vlog - Rain at Last, Baby Chicks & Quail, and Tequila's 9-Day-Old Puppies

After six long weeks of drought and wildfires, we finally got rain on the farm—and we’re celebrating every drop! In this week’s farm vlog, we talk about the much-needed rainfall and what it means for our homestead. I also got tomato seeds planted just in time to take advantage of the moisture, which saved me from having to water the garden.

Once the rain came down, we headed indoors to check on the hatcher, and guess what? Baby quail and chicks are starting to pop! Watch as we take a peek at the newest arrivals on the farm and talk about the hatching process for both chickens and Coturnix quail.

To end the day on a heartwarming note, we visit Tequila’s litter of Great Pyrenees puppies. At just 9 days old, they’re already showing their personalities—and they’re absolutely adorable.

Whether you’re into gardening, animal husbandry, or just love following real-life homesteading adventures, this vlog brings you a little bit of everything.

Farm Vlog – Surprise Kittens, Garden Work, and Farm Life When You're Sick

Welcome back to Andersen Acres! Today’s farm vlog is packed with the everyday ups and downs of hobby farming—including a surprise that made our whole morning! Our calico barn cat, Wildfire, gave birth to two adorable kittens, and we caught the moment on camera. While that was unfolding, Shadowfax, our white mini horse, had a field day munching on fresh grass trimmings, and our Great Pyrenees, Vodka, got in some much-needed grooming.

Even when I’m sick, the animals still need care. In this video, we talk honestly about what it’s like to run a homestead when you’re under the weather—because farming doesn’t stop for anything. We also transplant peppers, plant spinach and cabbage, and try to keep up with the endless to-do list that comes with homesteading.

If you love farm animals, mini horses, livestock guardian dogs, or just want a peek into the real life of a small hobby farm, this video is for you!
