Me, my wife, and 3 children live in east central Ohio on a small homestead. In February 2019 my son was diagnosed with Williams Syndrome at 3 months old.

This rocked our world and has changed everything. He is such a little inspiration!!! Because of him I gained the courage to start up a YouTube channel.

Having a son with a disability made me want to show everybody that it won't define him or us, so I named our channel "The Able Farmer".

I will try to have new videos out at least ONCE a week!

.You will see us working with CHICKENS, BROILER CHICKENS, RABBITS, TURKEYS, PEACOCKS, DUCKS, GEESE, GARDENING, MAPLE SUGARING, and MORE!!!!!!. I have many future plans as well that I look forward to bringing to you!

A moment of satisfaction seeing my honey bees pollinating the flowers of the chestnut trees I have planted to hopefully produce a plentiful harvest this fall!

A testament to rotational grazing. This poor girl looked worse than I realized in the spring when I got her. Being new to cattle I suspected she was thin but didn't know how bad. She looks great today!

We have 6 new baby ducks on the homestead. They were eBay eggs we hatched. The eggs had a rough trip through the mail but we ended up with 4 magpie and 2 muscovy

This is about how many eggs I am getting a day. Notice the olive colored egg on the bottom left. That egg is coming from a chick we hatched last spring. It is a cross between my maran rooster and an Americana and i have another one crossed with an Isbar. I am going to shoot a new video in the next couple days, stay tuned and stay warm!
