Hidden Spring Farm is a Homestead in the making. It's also a Farm Stay & Experience startup. Created by Chad & Remy Smith in 2020, Hidden Spring Farm is a super private and tranquil 90 acres and perfect to start an operational farm stay vacation rental. With a little tlc, hard work & creativity, we're hoping to turn this farm into a unique and amazing farm stay experience, while allowing us to share this property's beautiful qualities with others. It's going to take a lot of work on our part to create an awaiting adventure for people to enjoy on the farm and boy do we have some big plans for this place. Subscribing to our UA-cam channel that chronicles our own unique adventure as we try our best to go from city to country while starting up this farm stay will allow you to follow along on our journey.

I sooooo enjoy your channel, I find it to be relaxing. And speaking of Heat Domes, hows about Thundersnow and Gorilla HAIL, I had never, in my 60 some years of living, ever, hear those words when I was growing up. Oh, how the weather has changed. Blessings, Laurel 😁
I always did love a cat house
Those are not new terms for weather, just the non professional weather people didn’t know them back in the day. On the other hand news is intended to tantalize and even scare us. It probably is worst now.
we used to have pineapple expreses in BC which was rain now their called atmospheric rivers lol...adult rats might be too big for the cats mine dont mess with them
May Jesus wrap His Strong, Loving arms around you and give you comfort.🙏❤️ There are so many of us who understand your pain, as we have felt it, and are sending you bushels of hugs, dear sir.
And like smart dogs they know when my wife is down the road in her car coming home. They start honking.
I love your channel. I have a question. Why does the pond have foam? Have you ever cleaned the pond filter?
Yes I’ve cleaned the filter but really I don’t know why. There seems to be a lot of algae maybe that’s it but I’m not sure exactly. Truth is I don’t even know if the filter will work the way it should in this kind of setup with waterfowl. Time will tell as I figure it out. Also water fowl feathers have like an oil to them so that could contribute maybe.
You did an awesome job on the catio....they will love being in it and feel safe.
Wonderful video, one of the best! 👌🏻
Very kind of you 😊
Your place is looking great! Good work!
Aww thanks 😊
I put fans in with my bunnies
Truly enjoyed this video without the music 😅
Chad… with all your young fruit trees, removing the fruit will allow the trees to produce more foliage. Young fruit trees sell better in the nursery at the expense of future growth.
Yes I’ve heard that too
There's not really anything absurdist about what's happening to the world, no need to fearmonger..
The fact that us Canadians have to pay carbon taxes that does nothing to save the planet is not absurd to you?
Then you have, non-working cat, like mine for instance.
You need to protect the saw mill from snow in winter!, it will freeze up, so maybe you need to build an entire shed for it
thats the plan, although I don't believe it will freeze up. I just want it last long and not get rusty and beaten by the weather.
Chad everything looks beautiful ❤👍Your gardens will only get more beautiful as you and Remi grow your farm❤Your next build will have to be a farm stand🤗👍
😁
Sending all my strength and love 😢I’m so sorry to hear this - you and your wife are good people and do not deserve this heartache but life isn’t always kind, accidents happen. I hope you can take the time you need to heal from this ❤
👍👍💗💖🐕👀✨🌞😊
Hi chad I really enjoy your videos specially because you speak very clearly and I can understand almost everything. Thanks for helping me to improve my English skills
That’s so awesome, thanks 😊
You are truly blessed to be able to live your dream and have such a wonderful homestead.
Chad i just love checking in on the animals and projects. Thank you for your videos. 😊❤
Glad you like them!
That thunderbird dome was cool
The garden and pond are gorgeous!!
This is such an awesome video, they love it!
Oh I like those rain barrels.. do you have a link to those? I need some
They look nice but I haven’t figured out a way to join the two barrels yet. I think they’re made to only be used as singles. I’ve had these for over two years though, pretty sure I got them at the Home Depot.
They also eat there own poop. 😆 🤣 😂 🤢🤮
I'm curious, you talk about seeing coyotes, but do you ever see bears?
I’ve seen a bear only once, it was a fairly small black bear and at a distance. I’ve also never caught a glimpse of bear in any of the trail cams.
for pig fence , you could use the current pens to train them to respect electric fence by running 1 strand down each side of the dividing fence. once they learn respecting electric fences it should be simple to poke some little posts in wherever you want. Critical to teach electric in a solid pen so they learn pull back vs push through when they get a shock. Looking good .
If you are going to start promoting climate change denial theories, I'm going to have to unsubscribe because I dont support that. But I won't stop commenting because I can't stand by and watch my children's and my future grandchildren's future being destroyed without doing anything. I would say, though, that it would be a sad thing for me to do, because I have come to look forward to your videos and I have taken a liking to your farm and everyone who lives there, and how you and your wife do the daily work, but also improve and develop. I have developed a profound respect for your tenacy and love and care for the animals. Chad, please, please be reasonable. If you don't believe me, then seek information from other sources. When it comes to energy, I highly recommend the reports, statistics and briefs from the OECD and IEA (sister organizations). Most of the info is free.
You do whatever you think is right but don’t get me wrong, I’m not a climate change denier. I recognize we need to change, but I don’t agree with taxing our people into oblivion while huge corporate polluters are exempt just cause they donate to their campaigns. I do balk at our carbon tax which has only contributed to Canadians being less fortunate and done nothing to lessen Canada’s 2% pollution rate around the earth. We Canadians pay an absurd number of taxes and instead of our leaders managing the money they have…they always want more…and now under the guise of a tax. Our gov and msm regularly promote fear regarding the earth just so they can get more money from us. We should be investing in green renewable initiatives and ideas not mandating your citizens to only buy electric cars. Let me say this though, I don’t really talk politics or religion on my channel but I also can’t prevent people from unfollowing cause they don’t agree with me.
I always enjoy your videos !! I like your relationship with the animals. You talk to them and pet them. As an animal lover I appreciate what you do!!
Can you show how you resolved the cat litter/ poop problem from before? Your farm looks wonderful. you do an excellent job.
Ok I will
Have you thought about growing tubs of grass to put in with the pigs occasionally? You could take the tubs out afterwards.....?
Loving your lifestyle and your channel! Thank you!
Glad you’re enjoying 👌
I enjoy your thinking and how carefully you say it 😁👍🏻👏🏻
You're living my dream. I'm so glad for you that you were able to go out of the city and have a farm. I'll never be able to afford that. I hate living in the city, but at least I have a garden and can grow veggies.
Hello! Another amazing video. Always look forward to your videos. Thanks for sharing.👍😊
Glad you’re enjoying 😁
The reason we have polar vortex, and heat domes, and all that is simply because we have better science and better equipment to see in detail what is happening with the weather and climate. It's not because it's the "scientists", it's only because we're getting better at understanding nature. Given that there is still a lot to understand.
All that is probably a good & proper assessment but for me it’s a combination of the two. Here in Canada our PM wants people to pay a carbon tax cause as he says “Canada is burning” with all the wildfires. But he and the experts on the news always fail to disclose that over 90% of our fires are caused by humans and not the climate crisis.
But *_humans cause the climate crisis_* I'm sorry to see that you pass so uninformed judgement, you need to inform yourself better. There are a lot of good sources available online, but if you are one of those who don't trust peer-reviewed science, I don't know what to say. Then nothing will change your mind. Carbon tax is an excellent proposal, and it could still be designed so that the income goes back to people with the Canada Carbon Rebate. The climate crisis is real, just ask the forest owners who have seen their life savings vanish with the attack of Mountain Pine Beetles, their epidemic spreading is a direct consequence of climate change. And even if the wildfires are caused by humans, there have to be the "right" conditions for them to spread like they have been doing (drought, for example). When you shrug off the threats of climate change, you are contributing to dooming the future for the coming generations. If you have an audience on the internet you need to be responsible about that. I'm not trying to silence you. I just want you to look into facts and then pass judgement. And yes, I'm the same government expert whose previous comment you erased.
God Bless you Chad and Remi! You have worked hard and saved hard to get where you are today! You deserve to take pride in that. Thank you for bringing us along.
😁
Beautiful property. Enjoy 🦋👏🎉💙
Thank you! 🤗
Thank you for another wonderful episode! I, too, wish I could buy your produce. What an amazing accomplishment ❤
So nice of you
I also would buy produce from you and Remi but Kansas is a little far away. I have visited Canada many years ago on a camping trip with my parents. So long ago but wonderful memories with loving Christian parents. Do you and Remi have kids? You never mention it. I think your a very wise man Chad. My guess is your a computer or network guy. I know someone who is network and makes a six digit figure salary and some days can work from home. Curious what kind of work Remi does too. Understand if you don't want to share to much info 👍 Anyway I very much enjoy your videos. I heard a saying.....the most capable hand is the one at the end of your own arm 😊
Heat dome and polar vortex are not new terms but unfortunately have in recent years have been popularized and misused. Glad the heatwave has broken and the rain has finally let up. Happy gardening, looks like you are off to a good start!
What a great morning I just had. ❤
So glad!
Love Billy girl and that sweet snout! Homesteading is not for the faint of heart, but so worth it if you put your heart and sweat an unending patience that you and your Darlin’ seem to have done so lovingly. Hope for many more years of blessings for you!
I so agree 👍
What ever you do do not take hear say as fact. Google everything if you can. My mum's dad brought up turkeys. domestic were not bad but the wild breed, leave them alone. The stress of not being able to run to the woods for protection can kill them. Might not want to keep talking to them, not like goslings. then again, that is what gramps said, could be wrong.
Love your farm! Animals and plants are so great to have!
Love your cats.
Hi Chad and Remi, I’ve been watching for a few months now and I’m OCD so after seeing some videos in a scattered timeline I’ve started at the beginning though I do watch your newest videos as they pop up. Great attitude and feeling from your videos, they make me happy and while I’m stuck in HOA hell here in Texas i can watch you do the things I wish to do. I just had an idea you could consider for another source of income if you choose. You like making unique structures, have you considered (and maybe this was covered in a newer video I haven’t come to yet) building your designs in some type of CAD program and selling the designs (include scaling up or down possibilities)? The chicken house is so different that folks may buy the plans to build their own. Hopefully this idea is helpful. I also wanted to ask: do you and Remi have regular jobs as well as the farm and airbnb? I know those alone are tons of work but from your videos it sounds as if you are still working elsewhere. What did y’all do for work before getting your far? More backstory if you are ok with it? Sorry if that is too much
My goodness!! You have just put my entire way of thinking into words! Thank you! ❤
Great minds think alike eh 😉
