I’m reading these comments and can’t believe that people have known about your show for so long and am jealous that I haven’t seen it sooner. My husband and I (and kids when they are awake)started watching the show at the beginning of the summer. Whenever the show is on, we will stop what we are doing to watch and just crack up! You two are so funny and I find you two to be unpredictable. Unfortunatey I keep missing the ending of the episode with Josh’s birthday. So I don’t know if you celebrated his birthday after the wedding. but I’m assuming he got the table. I would love that kind of gift from my hubby. I enjoyed the way you described the importance of the dining room table especially since you inlcuded children. Thanks for the fun show.

Hi Brent and Josh!

I just finished watching your Thanksgiving TV episode and enjoyed seeing your fabulous table in use. It’s nice to see your family and guests gathered around such a large table — and with room to spare with nobody’s back to the camera!
You guys are so blessed to also have the perfect dining room to place it in and be able to enjoy a beautiful fire in the fireplace. Thank you for sharing your holiday, your friends, and your parents with us. I am enjoying (and thankful for) every episode!

I was on your site this morning looking to plan a Saturday jaunt to the mercantile when I stumbled across your words on the table. Tears welled in my eyes because you described the significance and love that a dining room table brings to a home so accurately. I am blessed to be sitting at my own dining room table that was passed down to me. The table initially belonged to my great grandmother, who was immigrated to Chicago from Sweden. I live in an area which celebrates Stickley, so it’s fun to have a Danish modern piece that attracts many compliments as well as my own fond memories of family dinners and gatherings.

Maybe I should design one?! I don’t know if it would be even half as beautiful as yours! I actually called two woodworkers in my area and we have appts set for Sat. Thanks for the thought….and yes, I will send a photo once I have the fist pounding, crayon fearless, perfect table!

Hi, Brent the table was just stunning, what will you do this yeat? It’s going to be hard to top that. We never miss your show, you have inspired us to want to grow our own fruits and vegs. We have yet to read Josh’s book or try any of the products but can’t wait to do both. Do you guys give tours of the farm? The reason I ask we are going to be in your area in Aug. and would love to see the farm.

Send us a photo when you find, Frances. Maybe you should design your own!. I’ll bet there are lots of woodworkers in your area who would appreciate the business

Dr. Brent:

Love your show and love your blog about your table. My mother has her beautiful table covered with a tablecloth and plastic cover for fear my children, (6 yr & 14 month old) will scratch it or spill something on it. It made me sad and I could never put it into words or explain why to my husband. After I read your blog, I knew why. Tables are meant to be used. They are to be used for fist pounding and crayons. They are meant to be used and not looked at. Thank you for putting into words what I could not. Now, my husband understands. Now, my husband is in search for the perfect table.

For that, I will be forever grateful.

When I think about our dining room table, I think about all the dogs, past and present that have managed to find their way underneath it. Always waiting for that elusive crumb to drop or for someone to senak them a bite. They always ate whatever was handed to them “under” the table, no matter what it was. We went from a home built in 2006 in GA to an old home built in 1845 in Misouri. We too have goats and instead of a llama , we have alpacas. Our turkey are blue slate, not bourbon red but I see alot of similarities in our farm and yours. When we moved here, we were the “odd” couple. My husband is black and I am white. Not many black wannabe farmers here in Missouri . Not many people that give up jobs in the city to try and live a more sustainable healthy lifestyle. But we did and are loving it. Not sure if this will be our final stopping ground. I do miss the hustle and bustle of the big city ( Miamian here) I love the look of Sharon Springs and the fact that you can hop on a train and be in NYC in a short time. who knows, you may run in to us someday in your quaint town.
