Hilltop Acres Homestead
United States
Приєднався 10 бер 2020
Homesteading family located in Central New York. Hilltop Acres Homestead was established in 2018. Fredrick was born and raised on a dairy farm. While Vanessa was not raised with animals even though she had a love for them, she grew up in the country learning all about gardening. Our family decided to raise our kids with animals. We got out first grade Nigerian dwarf does Nancy, Cocoa, and Fedora in March of 2018. Shortly, after that we got a purebred Nigerian Dwarf doe and a buck. We now have 14 goats on our homestead! And we are working towards becoming a self-sufficient homestead. Watch our channel to see our everyday life on the homestead and our cute goats!

What breed of goats are those...
How do you cool the milk once pasteurized?
Tomato 😂🤔
It looked like you had it on keep warm mode for almost ten minutes before you took them out and I've heard keep warm mode is pasteurize temps. Do you think this is important?
These look delicious! I wonder if I individually wrapped them they would freeze well for an easy to grab lunch item too. Have you ever tried freezing them after?
We have not tried to freeze them yet. I bet they would make a great freezer meal though! I would probably recommend baking them after you take them out of the freezer so the tortillas don’t get soggy 😁
Great video. I might have to try making some at our house.
I’m going to have to try this one day. Tried making a chicken broth once and it didn’t taste all that good. Thanks for the receipt, Ness.
Are those bees on the top?
Yes bees 🐝 and honey combs 🍯
Hello, I'm sure you have answered this question before but, I was wondering how you quickly cool your jars down when you pasturize goat milk? I am nervous to cool them down too quickly and the jars break due to rapid temperature change. I know that the milk has to be cooled down as fast as possible from what I've read.
I set mine in the sink full of ice water and have never had a problem with jars cracking 🙂
Try jars which are for making pickles which means durable to high temperature
Love seeing the whole family get involved
Great idea to use the bundt pan for cutting the kernels off.
My sister swears by goats milk soap for eczema. She also gets a goats milk oatmeal bath blend from a friend of hers. Very nice and easy soap process, Ness 😊
What are you growing in the soil blocks? I'd love to see a video on how they are made.
I did not know that goat's milk soap was a thing. Very cool process thank you for sharing.
It’s great for eczema! When our son was little he had really bad eczema. I used a light fragrance like lavender and it helped wonders!
lol "Fred is not going to be happy but their my favorite, so I brought the ducks in the barn"
The garden looks great!
Great DIY gardening project. Thanks for sharing!
Your goats are so adorable!! All the quacking from the ducks made me giggle.
Love it! Apartment life won’t allow this for me but sure would if I had my own house and yard to house chicken! Loigaë 😉
All I see is your elbow!
Wow your goat is a trooper... pushing out Two at once is impressive...they are beautiful babies congratulations! May I ask what the sex of the third baby is please? Thanks
super cool with the put butter!! We tried without it did not work
Looks very fine and went well
Push and hold pressure on the needle insertion spot right after you pull the needle out! Keeps it from bleeding or hematomas.
How dumb can one actually be? The reason you NEVER use this method is common sense! The friction creates intense heat which can damage nerves not to mention is extremely painful to the animal. So E people shouldn’t own animals as this video clearly shows
Great attitude-it's sad how quick we are to insult others. Many people use these. You let them cool and you can use a blade and the dremel. Hope u can find it in you to be a bit nicer.
I've tried this one. Good but takes time as it gets hot fast on their hooves.
Yeah. You barely touch their hooves w that and the material is gone. Got to be light handed and careful.
I'm worried about not being able to reach my hand in to grab peppers. Did you have any problems with this?
I don’t have a problem but I have small hands!
@@hilltopacreshomestead3010 wonderful! Thank you
Helpful. Thank you. First year gardening.
Your welcome. I hope you have a great harvest!
Can't see what you're doing.
Banana rack is genius!
DO NOT ATTEMPT! True pasteurizing is heating and cooling. I tried this to make it easier to cool faster in smaller containers and had one jar burst inside the instapot and they were so damn hot we could not get the lids off so we were unable to cool rapidly. Please do your research on how to pasteurize you need to cool rapidly after the instapot, not just heat!
I did this and all 4 of my jars burst 😬🥲
If your jars burst you tightened your lids too tight, also buy a $3 jar grabbed so you don't use your hands to touch hot jars. Basic canning knowledge goes a long way here☺️
Thanks for the video, and I imagine this works. However... pasteurization is a very specific science (at least if one doesn't wish to ruin the finer qualities of the milk'...think shelf-stable ultra-pasteurized cow's milk). So my question is, how did you arrive at this time and temperature formula that best preserves the qualities of the milk' and carries a high assurance of sterilization? For instance, during my research I came across a formula of holding the milk at 145° F for 20 minutes...I think that was it...but that is a specific time and temperature formula. Strangely enough, I was researching pressure cooked fried chicken also (I'm planning to open a restaurant on a homestead... essentially), and I found that the cooking time is cut in half for the fried chicken if using a pressure cooker. My hypothesis is that milk pasteurization would follow the same formula: same temperature, half the time under pressure. So, long story longer, I am wondering about the time and temperature formula of your method. Unless you happen to already know this information, a good place.to start is how did you learn your method. Again, I do think your method is solid, but I would like to use some such method for a restaurant, so I need hard data for food safety in a commercial setting. I expect that, for better or worse, I will be really getting to know the health inspectors. Thanks. PS, I'm thinking that the pasteurization process and heating the milk up to the proper temp before introducing the rennet could be merged, eg, heat the milk to pasteurize it, and then just bump the temp up from 145° to 165°, introduce the rennet, and off you go. I think this process would facilitate higher quality cheese as the milk is only heated once.
It tells you how to do it in the owners manual
Great video. We will be drawing labs soon.
Why do you have such small birthing stalls
These were only temporary birthing pens. That year we had changed our barn plans from multiple pens to one large pen for all of does. This past kidding season we built new larger birthing pens. There is a newer video showing our new pens
very informative...Thank you for sharing
Did the milk reach 145° F in the InstantPot ? The milk should have been held at 145° F for 30 minutes to ensure that it was pasteurized.
I commented the same thing and then saw your comment. I think pressure cooking could cut that time in half but some research needs to.be done to verify it.
Chevré is pronounced “Chev”. The R is silent.
Doing this for the first time today. Thanks!
Can you do this with cows milk?
Can I Cannin Milk in my instant Pot Max?
Can you do this with Milk?
Is that milk straight from the goat or did you do anything in between. Like was the milk in the fridge before this or anything?
Great and informative video
Il parto di un treno frecciargento
Hi dear, its very informative, but i would like to ask that how it can be made at home.
Please, I like your videos. It is related to handling of lambs. I most humbly request you to talk.
Nice, I am from india
um.........ok
Your goats are so cute
The gender change fairy strikes again! I have a Coco due any day now also. 💕🐐
I cannot tell you how helpful your videos are. Compared to other "channels" that have thousands and thousands and thousands, yours has answered every question that has been properly or INCORRECTLY answered time and again. Thank you for coming back and posting videos again. I am sorry your winter/fall was so rough. I hear you on the personal loss though mine was a few years ago now. It took 4 months to resolve and longer to physically heal. This past winter and fall we lost our Friggé, a doe for no reason to be found, and her son Bälder via accident 😭😭😭 Then our herd sire Gandolf, possibly old age. We are still reeling. Thankfully Ivan is here, we have Evie, Genevieve, and Gweneviere. Gwen could go anytime and hers would be Gandolf's offspring. Evie may have quite a while yet, hard to say for sure. Hers may be from Ivan. All full Nigerian dwarfs. Praying we can stay on top of things and we are going uphill from here. Also picking up selenium this afternoon. Already been copper bolusing and have good goat minerals...... Definitely NOT for the faint of heart😔💗💗💗
