Farm Vlog | Hand‑Cleaning Sunflower Seeds on a Calm Day at the Farm

Today’s vlog is all about one of those simple, peaceful tasks that make farm life feel grounding and real. Not every day on the farm is filled with tractors, heavy work, or big projects. Some days are quiet—slow moments where the rhythm of nature sets the pace. And today was exactly one of those days. With no major tasks waiting for me, I decided to spend some time harvesting and cleaning sunflower seeds by hand, using nothing but one hand, a sack, and the natural breeze.

There were a few sunflower heads left standing in the field—dry, golden, and full of seeds ready to be collected. I picked them carefully, feeling the rough texture of the dried petals and the weight of the seeds inside. Sunflowers have a special presence in the field; even when they dry out, they still carry the warmth of the sun. Bringing them back to the work area felt like carrying a piece of summer in my hands.

I placed the sunflower heads on a large sack and began separating the seeds using just one hand. There’s something incredibly satisfying about this process—the sound of the seeds breaking loose, the way they fall onto the sack, the earthy smell rising from the dried flower. It’s a small task, but it connects you directly to the plant, the soil, and the season that produced it. Every seed is a tiny reminder of the cycle of growth, harvest, and renewal.

Using one hand to clean sunflower seeds might look simple, but it requires rhythm and patience. You press, twist, and pull, letting the seeds fall naturally. The motion becomes almost meditative. In that moment, it’s just me, the sunflower head, and the quiet of the farm around me. No noise, no rush—just the soft crackle of seeds being freed from their shells.

Once the seeds were separated, I spread them across the sack and used my hand to press and loosen the remaining pieces. After that, it was time to clean them. I used a fan to create a steady breeze, letting the wind carry away the light shells and dust. Watching the chaff blow away while the heavier seeds stayed behind is one of the most satisfying parts of the process. It’s a traditional method, simple but effective, and it always feels good to rely on natural elements like wind to finish the job.

This vlog captures the beauty of ordinary farm work—the kind of tasks that don’t always make it into big videos but are essential to the rhythm of rural life. Cleaning sunflower seeds by hand is more than just preparing food or storing seeds; it’s a moment of connection with the land. It’s a reminder that farming isn’t only about machines and large fields. It’s also about hands-on work, patience, and appreciating the small things.

What I love most about days like this is the calm they bring. There’s no pressure, no deadlines—just the steady flow of simple work. These moments help me slow down and appreciate the details: the texture of the seeds, the sound of the wind, the warmth of the sun on my back. It’s easy to forget how meaningful these small tasks are, but when you take the time to enjoy them, they become some of the best parts of farm life.

In this video, you’ll see the full process—from picking the sunflower heads to separating the seeds with one hand, to cleaning them with the breeze. It’s a short, simple vlog, but it carries the heart of what real farming is all about. Not every day needs to be big or dramatic. Sometimes, the quiet days are the ones that stay with you the longest.
