Farm Vlog – Shadowfax Roams Free, Puppy Adventures, and Pizza Night on the Homestead

Welcome back to Andersen Acres! In today’s farm vlog, we’re embracing the chaos of hobby farming life. The fence is down in the horse paddock—but Shadowfax doesn’t care, and honestly, neither do we. This white mini horse has claimed the entire yard as his kingdom, occasionally peeking in the living room window like he owns the place (which, let’s be real, he kind of does).

Even though he technically belongs to my son Tristan, Shadowfax has definitely become my heart horse. While the humidity clings to everything and the rain can’t be bothered to do more than spit, I still had to get out there and water all the plants. Homesteading waits for no weather!

We also got the Great Pyrenees puppies out for some outdoor adventures—slowly introducing them to the wide world they'll one day guard. And, of course, it’s Thursday… so that means it’s pizza night. Because some traditions are sacred.

If you love farm life, animals, and a little slice of homestead reality, this one’s for you!

Farm Vlog – I Lost My Phone and There Were No Eggs Today

Welcome back to Andersen Acres, where today’s farm vlog is a shining example of how real hobby farm life isn’t always exciting. First, I lost my phone. For over 12 hours. That meant no filming, no updates, and a whole lot of frustration. By the time I found it, the day was almost over—and when I finally got outside, there were no eggs to collect. None! Just one of those days.

The rain that was promised never showed up, so instead of getting a break, I was out watering the plants myself. Luckily, the farm had one highlight: kittens! Our barn kittens were racing around and being absolutely adorable, so I spent a few moments just enjoying them. I also took a minute to explain why you shouldn’t re-home kittens before they’re at least six to eight weeks old. It’s important for their health and for the mama cat’s well-being, too.

It might have been a short vlog, but it’s a real one. Sometimes hobby farming is just like this—quiet, unscripted, and full of small moments.

Farm Vlog – Baby Chicks, Fluffy Kittens, and Adorable LGD Puppies!

Welcome back to Andersen Acres! In today’s hobby farm vlog, we’re checking in on some of the cutest little creatures on the homestead—baby chicks, fluffy kittens, and snuggly baby bunnies! Everyone’s doing fantastic, and it’s always such a joy to see how quickly they grow.

Even though I didn’t get any writing done today (oops!), there was still plenty of farm work to do. With no rain in sight, I spent a big part of the day watering all our thirsty garden plants. Dry weather makes things tough, but we’re doing what we can to keep everything green and growing!

We also locked down some chicken eggs and quail eggs in the incubator—fingers crossed we’ll have a successful hatch this weekend. And of course, no day is complete without visiting Tequila’s sweet Great Pyrenees puppies. They’re almost three weeks old now and absolutely thriving. These future livestock guardian dogs are going to be incredible!

If you love animals, homesteading, and all things hobby farming, you’re in the right place.

Farm Vlog – Town Errands, Kitten Goodbyes & Puppy Mayhem

Welcome back to Andersen Acres! Today’s farm vlog takes a little detour—literally—as I actually had to leave the farm (which, let’s be honest, is not my favorite thing). I took my youngest son into town to book some big milestone appointments—one for opening a bank account and another for his written driver’s test. We even stopped for lunch before heading back to the chaos waiting at home.

Back at the farm, it was an emotional goodbye as little Patches, our sweet gray and white kitten, went off to his new forever home. We’re thrilled for him, but as always, it’s a bittersweet moment.

And then… the puppies. Oh, the puppies. I built a fence. I tried to contain them. But eight five-pound pups working together? Yeah, they totally destroyed the barricade and had a full-on puppy party in the house while we were gone. Absolute nonsense—and we love them for it.

This vlog captures the unpredictable beauty (and chaos) of hobby farming life.
