I follow Cold Antler Farm blogged by JennaWoginrich who also wrote "Made By Scratch." http://coldantlerfarm.blogspot.com/ She wrote about the BBC series of Victorian Farm. I watched it last night. It is about three people who bring back an 1800's farm to a working order. It is just wonderful. It showed the good and the bad about farming. The best part is that it is free on the internet. You just keep clicking on the next frame when you finish watching one. It is perfect for a cold winter day/night. I loved the cooking on the coal burning stove. Enjoy and also Jenna's site is great for the beginner homesteader.
Oh, SUZIE! That is one of my dreams - to own a Victorian Farm!!! I went to the Cold Antler Farm blog and couldn't find a link for the BBC series, so then I did a websearch, and it seems the video is no longer available online through the BBC(?). Please tell me where you found it online - I would LOVE to see it! Thank you so much for sharing! - Nini
God gave us two hands... one to help ourselves, and one to help others!
On Cold Antler Farm site http://coldantlerfarm.blogspot.com/ look at Nov. 12 and click on the youtube picture of rabbits hanging on trees. That will kick you to the site. You can go to youtube and search Victorian Farm and the videos will come up. good luck
Oh Suzie! Thanks for the tip about Green Valley! I also follow Jenna's blog everyday and have been watching Victorian Farm - wish we could get it on DVD here! I would watch it straight through! :) I'll have to check out Green Valley. Thanks!!!
I just now read this little post even though it was waaay back in Novemeber. (I am still playing catch up on the forum.) But anyway, Thanks so much for posting this! I looove these shows. And I have been wanting to see this one. I know what I am doing today lol.!
I've watched all the shows they have about the Victorian Farm. They have a Christmas show as well. They are great. Puts into perspective how easy we have it now in some ways and how chaotic in others.
Give thanks to yourself everyday for all the wonderful things you do!
