The Drummond Family Releases New Docuseries
Not long ago, Ree Drummond announced that a new YouTube series called Drummond Ranch was on the way.
Ree, who’s known as “The Pioneer Woman,” has been sharing glimpses into her family’s life since she started blogging back in 2006. Viewers got to know the Drummonds even more through her long-running Food Network show.
But this new series comes with a few changes. Her kids are now grown, and unlike her previous show, Ree will be more of a supporting character.
Drummond Ranch focuses on the day-to-day work on the ranch, led by her husband, Ladd, his brother Tim, and the rest of their crew.
It also features a familiar face, their daughter Paige, who has now joined the ranch full-time.
The First Episode Of Drummond Ranch Has Been Released
Not long after the show was announced, the first episode of Drummond Ranch was released.
The seven minute video is an introduction to their life on the ranch. Paige, Ladd, and Tim talk about what the ranch means to them and walk through their daily routines.
“It’s a pretty special thing we have going on out here,” Paige says. “Me and my siblings, we come from a pretty long line of ranchers…and not a lot of people really get to see things like this, a big family kind of working together.”
Ladd went on to explain how their ranch came to be.
“We got our start here based off some stuff my dad bought in the ’70s,” he shares. “It’s some of the best land, grazing country, in the United States.”
Ree also makes an appearance in the episode. She opens up about how special it was to raise her kids on the ranch before they all went off to do different things in their lives.
“That’s what I miss, is just being there when they were little, you know, and over time we all got busy,” she says. “Of course, I got busy with my show and writing cookbooks, and the boys got busy with football, the girls had volleyball and soccer.”
Ladd shares how much his wife has contributed over the years, saying she always made life on the ranch as fun and loving as possible for their family.
“I always enjoy having her around,” Ladd says. “She shows up, she’s got a smile. I always tell my kids, you need to be more like her and less like me. I mean, you never see her mad, or see her with a bad attitude, and that makes life more enjoyable.”
And now, the Drummond Ranch may not be exactly the same as it was years ago, but it has changed in a postivie way, with just as much care put into it.
“It’s fun to know that part of our lives isn’t over,” Ree adds. “Life goes on and it just looks a little different.”
