    Can I ask if you Mill your own flour?? If you milled your own you would be getting 100% whole grain! If you haven't heard of Sue Becker, please look up her UA-cam video, it says it all!!

    • @TheHappyHomestead
      @TheHappyHomestead День тому

      Semolina is not gluten free....it's a coarsely milled durum wheat that is really good for making pasta (I only use semolina or Einkorn all purpose). My apothecary business is new, about 7-8 months now, and I just love it. Being able to create and help people is so fulfilling!

    You should "plant" an extra large mailbox in your garden. Use it to store extra gloves, handheld shears, etc. That way you don't have to transport them back and forth from the house to the garden. They're always in the garden and the mailbox keeps them out of the elements. Great video!
