Randolph is the man his chuckle brings me a smile everytime and he is not afraid to get at it even if its somthing new (and i dont think i have ever seen him without a smile)❤
In the north, NOTHING grows in the winter. So we would starve if we didn't buy or put up food that is grown in the summer.
Hey check out Eliot Coleman. He doesn’t winter garden, he winter harvests. He lives in Maine so his techniques may get y’all in the north at least a little longer growing season depending on where y’all located. Hope this helps!
@@jmessick8163 LOL Maine is VERY different from Saskatchewan. Yes they get snow and storms etc but they do not get -40. I can barely get out to look after the chickens in our winter, forget frost blanket tunnels, those would collapse under snow here and even if they didn't, how do you handle that with huge mitts on and pick lettuce that way? Not happening. I can grow small amounts of lettuce and a tomato plant in the house once we get more organized and move the living room wall back.
I am excited for all your doing and going to do, I watch every day!
@Justin Rhodes honestly at this point, why don't you invest in some milking equipment. You can always still milk when its convenient by hand, but it sure would make it a lot more feasible to integrate more milk cows for cheese production without burdening the family with more chores.
Get yourself a couple of banana pups online from Nick's fruit trees in Central Florida. Put in pots and grow in your house. Bananas are easy to grow. Just water them a lot and throw compost in frequently. Once you get a stalk of bananas you will get another pup under the current pup. Pull out the bananas stalk after you harvest the fruit off of it.then the next year your new pup will grow and you will get more bananas.
Hi..... Thanks you for showing your video homestead beautiful great good job BYE 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍
Y'all are blessed to have Randolf in your life, I need a Randolf!
Our family really noticed a difference with our gardening 3 seasons out of the year. We did harvest carrots, beets, and turnips in winter so we didn't have to buy any of those. In the summer and autumn, the only vegetable we bought from the store were the ones we didn't grow, so our Spring and late Summer planting schedule has added these in. We don't have enough space (or the permissions needed) to raise dairy animals, but we have a great farmer to get a lot of regular dairy (that we can make the products from) and meats.
Wow, busy days but progress is being made! Thanks for sharing! I hope you fared well through the cold. We survived -40 C & colder last week & I’m thankful for our natural gas & electricity staying on. In Alberta, Canada, we get these segments of very cold but today it’s up to 0 C. People have to be resilient in these changing patterns😉 Blessings to everyone 🤗🇨🇦
Oh my gosh, we love that co-op. We live in Colorado but that’s where we shop when we visit Hendersonville.
Garden will not be looked after, food will not get preserved. Kids do all the work, parents do next to nothing,crazy.
Grocery Store Dates:) These are the best in the busy raising kids season arent they! Thanks for staying the course to help keep us all motivated to keep pursuing...
I am glad you are doing well! I pray God’s blessings on you and yours! Keep going! 🦋🙏🏼☺️
He is tired of milking. Doesn’t want to milk. Just wants to be a normal kid
I watch another UA-camr, Misty McMorris from THE MAC'S LIFE. She did a video yesterday of some of the things she's doing with their milk. I was blown away! She made butter, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, sour cream, cream, buttermilk and even processed the whey into powder for the guys to add to their after workout smoothies. If you aren't familiar with that channel, it is worth checking out.
I saw that too, and was really impressed with what she made (those mozzarella sticks looked so good!). Just amazing what can be made from scratch at home!
Love you, Justin & family! You have always your own way of doing things! I have always enjoyed watching your vlogs.
For folks that were going to get rid of most things from a grocery store that cart was really FULL.
The plan is....
During the renovations you should add an automatic waterer to your pole barn. No water chores all winter and you can get a heated one that will kick on when you get freezing temps.
So what you're saying is that your kids aren't going to have an orange, pineapple, avocado, etc.
At this point, Randolph has built a good large percentage of y’all’s infrastructure and house. He is family. Treasure that man. Shower him with love.
I can’t see Becky making cheese or putting up tomato’s or cabbage or frezzing or canning most of her vegetables
I am sure she can.but when will she find the time??????.on a reg day she dont have alot of time
@@herdagriffin1220huh? She’s not cooking, or milking, or building or clearing land or moving fences or….I’m sure she could find a few hours a week to process milk.
I dont understand how they are at the grocery store buying a cart full of food, talking about quitting the grocery store.....then they go out to a restaurant for dinner 😕 😐 🤔
Eating produce that comes from mass production while having said meal.
Your moving around WAY too much in this video, it’s not even fun to watch!!
All the angles are disorienting too.
YT is his priority
I hope you guys are staying warm and safe.
I look forward to your family shenanigans each & every video!
Oh, the irony. The Rhodes family has a beautiful farm, grass fed A2 cows that are hand milked, and almost 1/2 of what they buy from Whole Foods is dairy! Here is some unwanted advice: learn to make cheese. Use your awesome milk instead of "making bacon" with it.
Cheese, creams, butter….
nobody at their farm likes to process or store their food or produce except what can be vacuum packed into the freezer.
That whey left from butter or cheese can still be used for piggies.
@@sueyoung2115 I know.
@@CharlieNagoo Bacon is easier to put in the freezer than processing milk products.
I love your videos any way. I’m so excited to see the finished house. I can hardly stand it regarding the dairy making cheese is not easy but in your new home, I suggest you have a area to age your cheese that will get you the right temperatures and humidity that you need if you’re getting an extra cow to make cheese, you’re going to have to age just a suggestion
Get a small milk machine then you will have more time for cheese and other things
You don’t need to buy more cows and supplement with hay - that’s not self sufficiency that madness! You’re trading the grocery store for the feed store.
You have a large farm. You need to change the way you eat to reflect what you can grow with what you have. Stop trading one input for another.
You need more milk cows and less beef cows. You need to diversify your meat production and make use of the summer growing months better.
Sort out what’s happening with your sheep. They are a fast growing meat source that should have a bigger place on your homestead as you don’t need a lot of inputs to raise them during the summer.
You need to do pork sustainably. Ditch the heavy reliance on grains and get them to forage for more of their feed.
Eat more things that you can grow without inputs. Your plates are very meat heavy and your health isn’t great for a family that eats organic and refined sugar/grain free and doesn’t send their children to school, so clearly your current diets aren’t equalling good health.
Venison for dinner is so inspiring with all of the hard cheeses that she makes with all of their milk… she has great easy recipes too
Venison for dinner is on UA-cam? Sounds great inspiration!
@@freefahren yes! She has such a helpful channel… she has a dairy cow playlist, not everything is on that playlist but she has a lot on there. Even plans out how you can use all of your gallons… she has courses you can pay for, but she has lots for free as well.
Yes, and she knows you have to be very careful and very sanitary with your milk if you’re going to attempt to make cheese. I don’t see that on this channel
I love Kate! I’ve been following her for about seven years. First on instagram and now on UA-cam! She deserves a much bigger audience as she’s a wealth of knowledge.
@@leelees6757 gosh she really does! I have been showering her from the rooftops right now. We just got our first dairy cow and her videos have been a huge help! Like huge! Haha
You need to get a milking machine, Justin, like the Lumnahs and Geramiah on Roots and Refuge! 🐄
You will not be able to eliminate the grocery store for your family. Pepperoni, parmesan cheese, flours, citrus... the list goes on - these things will be store bought or eliminated. Concentrate on providing milk, meat, and vegetables for a family of seven for an entire year. You'll need to learn how to grow everything, preserve it, figure out how to use use your root cellar. It's a lot.
You can make pepperoni and parmezan cheese at home...
You can grind your own flour but need to buy the wheat berries- You'll need to purchase fish and citrus. All the soft cheeses can be made with minimal effort but the hard cheese will be a treat to be bought.
Yes but if need be they will survive quite comfortably without the store...
I would like to see how much you spend on the special hay and feed for your animals. I know from raising cows it is not cheap
Yes...Hay prices just keep going up each year. Even buying used hay equipment is stupid expensive these days.
I’m glad you finally got a round pen. it will help a lot with the horses. We put our water hoses in the little greenhouse after draining them, it stays warmer in there. People have to look at the benefits and cons of growing your own food. Yes it’s healthy but will it save you money too? How much does a cow,hay,feed,garden cost in the end? Do you have the time and money for that? If you enjoy gardening,milking and growing your meat that’s great, I love to do it too. But it’s not going to save you as much money as you think. Just eat healthier it’s ok to shop at grocery stores and farmers markets too.
Making fresh Mozzarella is really fun to make. Ask Lilly if she wud make a video in her cooking show. (I guess 2 horses take a lot of time to care for). But making fresh stretchy milk cheese is very popular here in NYC. whatever happened to the cheesemaker in Pennsylvania?? She taught this to you, yes???
Hey when you make cheese from sheep milk it makes more cheese per gallon then cow’s milk does.
My hack for you.. learn to can, dehydrate, freeze dry your food!
Make your bread, crackers, buns, rolls..
I understand being busy...
Well, they are putting in an industrial style kitchen with walk in fridge and freezer, so they should start doing all that stuff. Would make sense. Most of what they do now is freeze things.
@@tammymanuel9158 meat. They freeze meat. They’re installing multiple freezers. They are also building a huge farm kitchen downstairs….but as none of them have ever preserved, dried, canned or stored food I think they’ll employ staff through the summer. And a gardener. And a nanny.
I Am confused .I though you where going to build your own grocery store,Justin you need to slow down, Your all over the place
That's the plan - it doesn't happen over night - they are still building their house sheesh🙄😒
This format is horrible! Stick to what worked in the past, people are getting dizzy watching this channel
With a milk cow , why don't you make Cheese. Check out more than farmers
They are my new favorite youtube family. They are so genuine. 😊
Who’s going to make the cheese?
Great video
I'm glad our cold has came and went here in west TN! We are to 52° now from single digits 2 days ago! I feel like putting on tank tops and shorts😂 HAPPY DAY!
In West Tennessee also. This weather today is such a a relief!
@@kirstenbaker391 absolutely! Very nice!
It seems kind of odd . . . you guys are examining the cost of your groceries, but you obviously are spending lots of money on just about everything else - equipment, new pens, building a new house. I would think the grocery bill is the smallest of expenses that you need to be looking at closely. :)
Just a PR campaign! These folks spent a ton of money on Amazon and online.
@@Miguel195211 Yeah, and I really don't relate to that. I'm not wealthy (in monetary means). I watched the channel because it's supposed to be homesteading and country living. Seems like it's going another direction than my interests.
Self efficiency is ok ..if you can do it but I like the thoughts of working as a community. Not one person can do it all..we go up north here in Michigan to a cheese stores and buy cheese at a discount. I would love to see
A price comparison cow vs discounted cheese. One could wear themselves out trying to do everything by themselves.
Then you also have to think what if a cow runs dry or what if there is a drought and the garden dies.
Hi. I’m in northern Michigan and wondered if you would share where you go to purchase dairy (cheese)? I’m thinking the Amish?
@@tracesoflife9500 We go to Williams Cheese in Pinconning -it's the one with the cow in front. They sell trims of cheese in bulk for a good price and it's delicious.
Valley Meat market is there in town with good deals and so is Northwoods store so you get three good stores to go too!
@@sampson536 Thanl you very much!
Hello Justin. 28 January 24. Yesterday I came across your videos for the first time. What the corporate people wanted me to see was your visit in August 2017 to Montana. Paul Wheatons Laboratory.
As you set your camera, and he was in the shot, and you approached him there is a large pile of organic matter to the right of the building that you eventually enter. I listened to the audio 137 times and could not understand what you called that large pile of organic matter. I've had stuff grow out of my compost pile several times. Then Paul was going on about Putting wood at the center of the next pile.
But I digress. I just want to know the name of that pile. Kew garden bed? Thanks in advance for your response
hugelkultur
Thank you
I bet Lily can learn to make cheese. I make goat cheeses, and since she seems to enjoy the kitchen and her horses perhaps she can get a little side shuffle business in a couple of years 😏
I hope you’ll return to the old editing style. The recent videos has very abrupt cuts in between the different shots. Love you all, but the video ends up feeing very hectic and tiring to watch. I like the small things, even if it takes a longer amount. Right now it’s like talking with someone that can talk and talk without even having to catch their breath. Just my opinion of course.
Are you reading comments Justin?
Nope
Dude! It’s not a hack it’s just common sense.
😂😂💯
My favorite saying nowadays is “common sense ain’t so common.”
@@Ravens9652 exactly! That's what my dad has been saying lately and he's 72!
Common sense means different things to different people..
@@gardengrowinmawmaw8642 , it was hilarious he was trying to make this out to be a completely new concept, really?
It’s as if he’s getting desperate for content.
Justin, note from the farmer's daughter......you might want to consider the milking machine for your dairy needs. Think of the efficiency for a larger dairy herd
I think that would be much better. I myself would not drink their milk. It does not look very clean to me at all. And I watch a lot of other channels that do milk there goats and cows so I know how to do it in a more sanitary way. There’s no way she’s gonna be able to make cheese if she’s not being sanitary the cheese will spoil.
@@kar702I've only got 3 milk animals (goats/cow) and no way will I ever willingly go back to milking by hand.
It takes us maybe 10 mins to clean our milker and the milk goes directly into the clean jar from the milker. I've never met an older hand milker whose hands weren't absolutely wrecked.
@@cyndegruver6520these kids will have no prospects except farming. They won’t even have learnt basic sports or enjoyed social events.
Need to find a cheesemaker that will barder fresh meat for cheese... or buy in bulk wheels to store, and buy it less times..
Ok, this has gotten out of hand. Justin, I love you and your family, I have been watching since you were on the Great American Farm Tour. Mr. Brown could never find his shoes, you got your first family cow, you had your 5th child... I KNOW your channel. This new style is not you. It feels inauthentic, and honestly - it comes across to me as desperate. I can't follow the video at all, the jump cuts are SUPER distracting, and I miss your original style. I miss the Burn It Up Cooking Show. I miss getting up at 5am with you and getting the boys up for chores. I miss finding out why the water stopped and why the fence is not on and the pigs got out. You're losing views BECAUSE of the new style, not the other way around. You're trying to fix what ain't broke. Please be Justin Rhodes and the Rhodes Family again.
I agree.
He’s desperate to sell products so the videos are just fillers now for trying to get people to buy and sign up for his other schemes.
I agree. The new you sucks
A grifter is gonna grift. His view count on videos is crashing and in his desperation is grabbing at anything he can for relevancy. That's why he has the fake medical stuff now and the stupid thumbnail pics, the dancing and so on he is trying to be an actual youtuber he has no real personality and isn't a real homesteader with knowledge.
Everything is copy and pasted information stolen from others but his incompetence prevents him from actually using the information. This works out for him because something will always be wrong or messed up and he will have this fake reality show bs until most of the audience gets sick of it and turns their attention to actual homestead channels.
@@rsprecher DANG!!! Don't hold back. Why are you even here? Constructive criticism is one thing but that is an all out attack. I'd say that he's doing pretty good for such an "unscrupulous" guy. Some of us love this imperfect but amazing couple!!!
If a person has to follow their heart, then my hubby is in love with Met Rx bars. LOL
Let Gideon know that I eat parmesan cheese with a spoon too and I am a great gramma. I made some hash browns with it yesterday and it was delish.
Isn't chocolate, high percentage, more medicinal than a cheat?
Would it benefit to get a milking machine like Jess (from roots and refuge) uses , you could milk 4 cows or more and spend the extra time making dairy products.
I'm seeing a what looks like a butterfly rash. I hope not. Further confirmation. Is this rash reoccurring ? Weakness in muscles and joints sore. Sore or Raw throat. Eye troubles sometimes. Upper body skin troubles face and head . Please take care I've had my Lupus bout 30 years just finding out about last year. Many other notable signs. Please take care. It has by now been rough on my Lungs and Heart.
One More Milk cow and you could be making your own cheese. A little Renit and you could have Fresh Mozzarella. It's very easy to make.
Don't forget with cheese a lot of the stuff you like needs somewhere to be stored for a long period of time, which is another hurdle. It'll take awhile to have cheddars and other not fresh cheese even with the extra milk. And you also have to count the time, effort, and tools for making cheese at the scale you'll need for that many people.
I’m sure the kids can manage it after milking time, clearing a few hectares, mending fences, feeding animals and then canning and storing vegetables. How hard and time consuming can 40% cheese products per week be?
IF you do get another milk cow, or 2, then its time for a milking machine (or 2). AND I'm not talking about the kids being the milking machines. They are already showing the signs of discontent.
Is this shading someone about not working? Hmmm i noticed statements in a few videos but i could be wrong. Some trades people are under a lot of pressure with rising costs and supply issues, less ppl in the work force and frankly less healthy people available to work in the winter. Trade work takes a toll on their body. In Canada our trades ppl have to travel to jobs and travel back home to see their families. That's my perspective as a tradepersons wife aware of the other side of the work and all the moving pieces required. Will Justin and Rebekah work on their own house? It may be good content to setup a tripod and give Randall a hand. I'd rather see that than another 100 day diet which sounds depressing. Does it align with the eat what you grow strategy? As a compliment i think your character and charm is what keeps many viewers loyal to you. Anyway if there's a hiccup with the house say so professionally or maybe try not to discuss online. Thanks for considering an alternate opinion as #constructivecriticism and wishing others continue to uplift each other. .
💝💖💗Going in the way you have planned! Great job! Love following you! 🔥Stay warm. Already had our cold here in Oregon. 🥶 So cold! ❄And snow. 🌨Not great here in the valley. Take care! 🔥 Stay warm! Stay safe! ❇❇❇
You can quit the grocery store, but please don’t cut the cheese! 😂
Maybe if you get them a milking machine they would be more excited about milking a 4th or 5th cow ...
Have you considered goats for some of your dairy. Nigerian dwarf goats give good milk and there small 😊
Perhaps you should consider purchasing a milking machine if you get another cow. 😊
You boys won’t get burned out as quick with milking.
Not as good for subscribers…
If you have a air compressor it might be easier to blow out the water lines.
Justin do you know there are heavy metals in chocolate?
Not all chocolate has heavy metals
Yes! And that’s no little deal to your immune system! It pays to be a chocolate snob!
@Berley_1234my granddaughter found that the process of refining cocoa very often shows cadmium in testing. She's life threatening allergic to any chocolate even organic.
Ben Hollar slices his potatoes real fine to make his own chips...but he says it takes forever to fry😅😮💨
You could also learn to make and eat other types of cheese instead of cheddar. Lots of yummy soft cheeses out there that are ridiculously easy to make.
The moment that Justin realises that his family doesn’t eat much salad and vegetables or even enjoy gardening or preserving after working like a crazy man to create 50% of the weekly from the garden. Also the moment that he realises that they mostly eat dairy but nobody can be bothered to process the milk except himself or store it as cheese, butter and creams. Buying another cow or digging up another bed doesn’t solve these problems. They’re going to be employing an entire team to process and put up the produce and dairy next summer. How is this different than going to the supermarket?
Only real difference I see is if you grow it you know what's in it, and if you buy it from the store who knows what's been added like pesticisdes and antibiotics etc.
@@Charlie12874fair enough, but employees and freezers and watering and clearing land and machinery etcetc you could also buy from a reputable place that is organic. Not as many UA-cam clicks though…
Justin and Rebecca,
I don't remember if you have done this, but rather than buying cows each year, why not buy a bull and have the cows breed so that you are perpetually raise your own cattle in an ongoing way. Then each year maybe buy one cow and retire what was a breeder, but that no longer breeds, and harvest the former breeding cow with the other cows you have chosen to harvest. Maybe every 2nd year rotate a new bull in and an the older bull out by trading bulls with another homestead or farm so that you are bringing in new blood lines which will prevent in having still births. The same with the pigs. And why not raise goats as well? Actually, the same with chickens as well.
To me it just seems to make more sense economically as well as theoretically, to not just grow the animals, but also breed and raise them. Then when you have two or three great breeding pairs of animals and introduce new males every 2nd year, your extending blood lines in the animals which is going to produce a better animal and better food.
If you were going to harvest 30 chickens a year, then buy double that amount once. Grow them out the first year, harvest the 30 weaker or not as strong chickens, (hens and roosters), get 5 new hens and 1 more rooster. Split the hens into different enclosures with a single rooster, and then whichever rooster fathers more, keep that rooster for the next 2 seasons and harvest the weaker rooster each year when you bring in a new rooster. Again, this is all to create different bloodlines and stronger, hardier animals. Do the same with ducks and turkeys. You have a perfect pond for raising healthy ducks, why not use it for them. Duck eggs are far healthier than chicken eggs and duck eggs are higher quality eggs than ducks as well. Ducks also have a better quality of life socially which produces a better quality of food.
I love eating chicken, but I would easily skip over chicken for duck any day. It tastes better, is higher nutrition, eggs are higher quality, all because of the farming techniques as ducks take longer to mature for harvesting, and, ducks are great for keeping away a lot of pest animals as well. Oh and duck meat also has a higher fat count than chicken meat, so much so that you can actually render duck fat for cooking other foods in the same way you render pork fat, however duck fat isn't as much of a process to render down, it basically happens naturally when duck is roasted. Oh and Deep Fried Duck, WAYYYYYYYYYYYY BETTER THAN DEEP FRIED CHICKEN.
Just thought I'd throw my 50cents of suggestions in to give you something to think about and maybe incorporate into growing what you eat and eating what you grow.
Thanks for posting your suggestions, it sounds like you have thought it through!
@@poodledaddles1091 Yeah I put some thought into it over about the last month
Might acquiring some hayfields or finding someone to partner with and barter hay for beef?
Knowing what's coming your way and all you do outside, I'm like WOW! After last week in East TN we were glad we didn't have any animals to worry about! A week of below freezing temps were BRUTAL! I know you know it now LOL!
It can be done. My daughter had a fifty head goat herd in Maine. You have to start small and grow into it.
I have a hack to prevent frozen hoses. Ryobi makes a battery powered air compressor that I use to blow the water out without having to walk the entire length of the hoses. I just cut the end off of an old hose, slip it over the compressor valve and connect them. Great for keeping your hands clean when the hoses are muddy.
Making your own hard cheese is so great. I had cheese for a year once i got into it. My sorce ot raw milk has dwindled down to zero 😮
There are many cheese making channels out there.
You can use store bought wgole milk.
@wandabaquedano2451 I have made cheese with store bought milk. I want the raw milk because I know how the cow was raised and what they fed her. This is very important to me.
Gavin the cheese man, and Kate from Venison for Dinner. Have been my favorite UA-cam channels to help make cheese.
You made me laugh when you were talking about “extreme” cold. You have no clue what extreme cold is. I get you guys are frost tender flowers, but you really should try NW Minnesota…..then you will understand extreme cold. Yesterday was 17 above zero and it felt heavenly!
Why not just make potato chips /crisps,you may need to have an Electrical mandolin to get them thin enough to cook in your own “grown” lard/fat 🤔🎼🎵🎶🎶🎶🤵♂️🙏👩🌾🧑🏻🌾👨🏻🦲👦🏼👩🦳👱♂️👱♂️🐕🦺🪿🐎🐖🐑🐏🦃🐓🐂🐄🍓🥦🥬🥒🌶️🥕🌽🫑🧄🥔🫚🍠🥚🥓🧀🍗🍖🌮🫓🥘
Kale chips😊
Dairy was huge for us too. That is why we got our milk cow. We had to sell her though for family reasons but we kept her heifer calf to breed this spring. We froze a bunch of milk before selling her but we are running out! -Mike
Why don't you use a dairy milking machine instead of manually milking? Isn't it less risky?
VEVOR Electric Cow Milking Machine, 6.6 Gal / 25 L 304 Stainless Steel Bucket, Automatic Pulsation Vacuum Milker, Portable Milker with Food-grade Silicone Cups and Tubes, Adjustable Pressure
That means moving the cows off pasture or bringing a power bank.
Not very UA-camy. Better have the kids do it.
I found out I think her name is Pat, she showed us shredded cheese was selos you know wood gel. And she kept saying the word over and over but it is a prescription for your eye. If I remember right the the silo or sellios whatever to do with would buy products was to keep the cheese from sticking. And the prescription a swan I cannot remember why but it was for I don't know fluffiness. She said it's not in block cheese or shredded or it's not in a milk string cheese whatever that is. As always go to your ingredients and. Google it.😊
Wood cellulose and nystatin
Fruits and veggies are cheaper. That's why.
When is that mansion going to be finished?
I have been making my own meals from scratch now and they taste better than the box meals.
I have always bought season veggies and fruit.😊
In my opinion butter is a little easier to make than cheese, it takes longer to make cheese guess it depends on what kind of cheese you’re making
Farmer's cheese, ricotta, very easy. Bring milk almost to boil, pitch in measured quantity of lemon or vinegar. Stir briefly. Let stand til curds form. Pour thru cheese cloth and let drain, (the whey can be kept for soup base or use in smoothies. ) Mix a dash of baking soda into the cheese, to stop the process. Gather into a ball. Chill or eat!
Eating straight up parmasean cheese is the product of an ingredient houshold. I grew up that way and i still have those habits 😂 not saying anything bad, I'm greatful for that kind of childhood
Why can’t that water tub straddle the 2 pens so sheep and cow can share? Or whom ever
To save time and manpower, why not have an Automatic milking machine?
They are going to be all🎉 stopped up eating all that cheese
You can make your own potato chips, just slice potatoes thinly sprinkle with the flavour of choice and put in the oven.
No additives or anything else.
Sure, but they showed corn chips which needs much more than that.
Those poor kids. Basing their meals around massive amounts of cheese and dairy and then have buying yet another cow for them to milk. Maybe milking and processing should be done by every member of the family if you want so much dairy? I don’t think Rebecca has ever milked or even touched a cow, and hardly ever processed the milk into butter, yogurt, cream or cheeses ☹️
She doesn’t do much just shop online. I’ve been watching this channel for years and I can count on one hand the times I see her go help. Imagine waking ur kids up early as hell to go do chores while she sleeps till 9 🤣
We are to grow what we like and what we use the most often. Where do you get your baking supplies from?
I use stolen credits cards to help myself save, to each his own I guess.
I am looking for how to sign up for the upcoming workshop on Feb 4 but cannot find it
Maybe you could make some sheep's milk cheese?
Gavin Webber does some great step by step cheese making videos on a huge variety of cheeses that makes it so easy your daughter could make them on her channel. Just an FYI for you.
how long can you keep ur eggs on the counter, being a city dweller mine always go in the fridge
If you have farm fresh eggs you can waterglass them and they will last up to 2 years on the counter.
You can actually leave them out for quite a while. Mine might go as much as 3 to 4 weeks before we eat them all. You can always float them to check to see if they are still good. But once you wash them or gotten them wet then you need to put them in the fridge because that removes the cuticle/bloom from the egg which is what protects it.
Commercially processed eggs are washed (to remove mud and chicken poo). If eggs arent washed you can keep out on the counter as the protective seal is still on the egg.
Did I miss it? I can't find the link for the workshop.
All that tells me is that Johnny doesn’t learn to make cheese, so many people do it, especially homesteaders Ruth Zimmerman, take some lessons from her
