    I know this isn't gardening, but it is fun. We saved up five gallons of milk and I took it to my friend JD's place so he could turn it into cheese!

      All Health skill survival related. Grow food, raise animals make CHEESE! Dave if your not not under contract, I'd contact Joe from Grow Big TV the garden community is awesome there. Would love to see you interviewed. They had a few big names on there already You probably know everyone. Guys can pick a topic " How I started, Biggest problems with store foods vs gardening, or just your experiences and what boils your eggs modern day" You're a GEM of a human and we love you. Think about.

      This is sustainability. It's an extension for many who appreciate gardening because it allows you to produce for yourself. Very useful and interesting. Thank you. This is something we also personally aspire to.

      Yep it's very similar! In fact you can use kefir grains (a major resource in natural cheesemaking) to make hard cider by simply letting them soak in fresh apple juice for a few days!

    I could use a Cow just for cheese, we always have about 6 or 7 different varieties that I use almost daily because I cook all of our meals from scratch, usually there is cheese involved like for Alfredo Sauce, Creamy Caesar dressing, White Queso etc.

    Great Video. I am a cheesemaker (and hoping to have a dairy cow within the next year). My only comment is most cheese recipes say don't mix the rennet for more than 1 minute because it will already start to make curds and may mess with the curd formation. But it does look like it is going to come out great!! Thanks for all you do - definitely helping me on my tropical farm.

  • @betty8173

    Well done. Did you use animal rennet, or vegetable rennet, please? Lol, I just watched part 2 and can only assume animal rennet, after seeing the lard well spread on the cheese. 2 months will seem long, but, oh, worth the wait!!

    I've had dairy goats for forty years, and got pretty good with all of the 'easy' cheeses, like the ones you mentioned at the beginning of this video (I love the kefir cheeses). But I never had any luck with the hard aged cheeses, which made me sad because we really like cheddar and parmesan. I think it was because we didn't have a cheese 'cave.' I now have a small refrigerator that I plan to try using as a cheese 'cave,' and am just waiting for my goats to kid so I can start milking again.

    Reading Grocery Row Gardening. I know more about you and your family now than I did when we met last year during Antiques in the Garden for UA-camrs meet and greet in Jemison, Alabama at Petals from the Past. Since then my husband and I have moved to the country just under 30 minutes from Petals. We actually live 10 miles away from Jason and Brooke Smith at Cog40. We don’t get to see them or even talk since they are so busy. I’ll be a vender I guess you’d say, at the Antique in the Gardens in April. I’ll have my own booth in the Barn. Basically I’m selling a mixture of things this year. Several vintage pieces, jewelry, clothes, dishes, maybe some coins, etc…. Not sure if you plan to stop by this year, but if you do I’d like to talk before you leave. The name of my booth should be HIDDEN BUT YET SEEN treasures. Bernadette from Verbena Alabama 😊

      I can tell you how we do it on our ranch. We have a bull. The cows get bred when it naturally occurs. The calves get mamas milk. Cows make more than enough for humans too. Calves get raised until 30-32 months and they are humanely slaughtered and don't know it's even coming. Mama cows live good long lives looking forward to getting alfalfa while getting milked and grazing pastures all day long. It's a good life for all of them. And very different than commercial methods.

    I was a huge cheese person and giant fan of dairy. However, don't kid yourself that it is a "wholesome" food (except for baby cows, sheep and goats) . I didn't know what it was like to have regular eliminations and not be constipated until I gave it up in my 30s on the recommendation of a naturopathic doctor! After giving it up I also doubled my energy and reduced the amount of mucus in my body.
    I still like it but If anything I have it once in a while a few times a yearas a treat and that is all. It is terribly hard to digest and is extremely obstructive inside the GI tract and extremely constipating as I learned over 30 years as a regular daily consumer of cheese! It is also extremely mucus forming. My nose was constantly running,
    Any kids who are candidates for having tubes put in their ears can avoid that procedure if they simply give up dairy including yogurt. Certainly anyone with asthma or respiratory issues should give it up.
    It is at the top of the list of foods to avoid for those diagnosed with any serious illness especially cancer or heart disease!.
    Any of the supposed "benefits" are nothing but propaganda. "Milk does *not* do a body good". Indirectly it helps Big Pharma and Big Medica though and it helps Big Agra of course. "Dairy is NOT a good calcium source as its protein actually leeches the existing calcium in our bones out! Also all the hype about protein is jut that- hype..
    Human breast milk contains just 6 percent protein which can be found in fruit and vegetables. That is all we need. Don't take my word for it. Now even mainstream medical doctors are finally beginning to recognize this. As much as we don't want to face it, what we put in our bodies *does* greatly impact our health.

    • @emilybh6255
      @emilybh6255 11 місяців тому

      @@davidthegood I'll give you that it is better than homogenized but it is STILL dairy and very obstructive to the GI tract and is very disturbing to the GI system and the entire body by virtue of all the mucus created by the body to protect the rest of the cells of the body from it.
      Just look at how hard it is to clean cooked dairy off of a pan it was cooked in. Imagine your GI tract surface like that pan.Compare that to how easy it is to clean a pan you steamed or boiled or poached vegetables in. It is like night and day.
      Even raw dairy is nowhere near as healthful as raw fruit and raw vegetables or as a distant runner up to raw steamed or boiled veg.

      Wrong. RAW milk is awesome and has reversed my tummy issues. It has helped me so much!! It has helped my own momma tremendously as well. She was suffering so much with her stomach. Now, as long as she drinks raw milk every day, she has ZERO issues. So you do you, and let everyone else live their lives.
