I have started publishing my blog over on Substack you can still find it on our website homepage for those of you who don't want to be redirected to another site. I am really enjoying being on Substack and find it to be a very positive environment to share my writing. Please consider subscribing to my blog. It is free though I do have a paid subscription for those who choose to support my writing, but it is not necessary. |
Farm Stand
We are finally getting an abundance of eggs! We are anticipating being able to keep eggs in stock again, our own chickens are laying more daily, and we have a few new local farms delivering us fresh eggs weekly.
As we plan for the next year and how I can better keep the farm stand stocked with eggs I ordered a large batch of chicks and ducks and will plan to get the incubators running the beginning of March to hatch out more of our own chicks. Our flock has been dwindling and it's time to fill the coops back up! This spring we will have plenty of chicks and duckling for you to visit. We'll keep you posted!

Our Spring Workshops
We are starting off our spring homesteading workshops in just a few weeks! The first workshop is all about making yogurt at home, so you never have to buy yogurt at the store again. Homemade yogurt is not only simple, creamy, sweet and delicious, it is also so much healthier than the processed yogurt you buy at the store. Yogurt is they key to good gut health and for me making yogurt with raw milk took away my psoriasis. I had 5 different types of psoriasis on my body and for years the doctors kept giving me creams and wanting me to take pills or injections. I tried every herb, tincture and essential oil and none worked. I was never a big milk drinker but when I started making yogurt with my goats and cows raw milk and eating it almost daily my psoriasis started to clear up and completely went away. When our cows dried up it started coming back so there is no doubt it works.
I will give you the secret to making small batch jars that have the cream top. Homemade yogurt has a very long shelf life naturally without preservatives or sweeteners added. Take control of your own food and your health.
Sign up for our workshop today while we still have spots left.
