Cassandra, You have star qualities. You are charming and have the ability to entertain. Your channel is informative and educational. You are motivated to provide healthy food for your family making your content interesting to all. You are ambitious and professional. You make us believe that even though we do not own a "back forty", homesteading is still within reach of the every day person. What an inspiration! Not your every day homestead channel... that's for sure! My new favorite homesteader! Food Network!!! Hello!!!
This is soo sweet of you to say, but truly I'm (happily) a regular gal! And yes honey, you don't need land or livestock to enjoy many aspects of a farm fresh life. Thank you for saying hello!
I just saw my first video yesterday and I've now watched half a dozen more. She's GOOD! I said immediately, "How does she only have 37k subs? She's way better than that! She has to be a blogger or has a platform somewhere." Her personality comes through immediately and is super relatable, but she teaches a ton as well. I have never subscribed after just one video.
I bought one this past summer. We love it. Thanks for spreading the word. 😊 Someone out there needs to snap you up and get you your own show on the food network! 👍🥰
Hi 👋🏾 Marsha! I just love my two butter keepers and so does nearly everyone that comes to our table. Simple tech that’s super practical. Your compliment is making me blush! Have a great evening!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl Just the facts. 🙂 You have the skills, you have the humor, you have the timing. Keep doing what you're doing. I think it's only going to get better. You got this! ❤👍
Haha, I totally agree. If butter stays around that long you're not doing something right. I'm so happy you don't mind my silliness! Hope you're having a great week :)
Love your videos. So informative and down to earth. I agree with Marsha, you need your own television food network show, but then I'd not be able to watch you anymore since I don't own a TV.
Nikki- WHAT an excellent idea that I had heard of! While I haven't had a problem with mold an extra measure I can take is worth it, I so appreciate you for passing that along. And yes to the lemon balm butter!
How much salt do you add? I have a butter bell, but didn't know until this video about switching out the water, will start that but would love to know more about the salt!
I have never heard of a Butter Bell. Not even my grandmother used one. I don't think it's a thing here in Australia but I'm going to hunt for one. I hate hard butter and love this idea. Thank you! New Subscriber saying hi from Toowoomba, Australia. 🦘🦘❤❤🐨🐨
I grew up in a European household. Neither my mom or grandma ever refrigerated butter . Im a senior and have always left butter out in my own home. Never ever had a problem.
I have a butter bell I got from a thrift store a while back and I think I was using it wrong as it would mold but I didnt realize you had to change the water out every week or so. This cream to butter recipe is life changing! I will be doing this for Thanksgiving to try it out on the fam, thanks for everything you do!
Hello sweet friend! I'm so happy to hear you'll give your butter bell a second go. Yes, switch out the water every 5 to 7 days with cool water and you'll be set. Butter is an excellent fat and being able to store and use it multiple ways truly comes in handy!
I made that mistake too! I gave up on the butter bell because I knew I would not reliably remember to switch out the water. i just keep a jar of ghee on the counter. I don't know if it will last 40 days but I just use a small jar so I can use it up before it gets bad then bring another small jar out ghee out of the fridge.
Sally Fallon fan here and yet I never thought about making my own butter! No more spending my children’s inheritance on Kerry Gold! I learned so much from this video! I love butter and slather it on my toast in the morning, put it in my tea and when I go out to eat I sometimes ask for butter to add to my entree or soup.
About a year ago I came across Sally Fallon (how I managed to have gone this long without 'finding' her is incredible) but once I did, I consumed nearly everything I could find (books, videos, podcasts). I've made a lot of changes and still have a way to go on my journey but the way she lends such credibility around the diets of elder generations and pulls the rug from the last 50 years or so of food marketing is incredible. I hear you on the Kerry Gold, lol. Between being able to make delicious fresh butter and stockpile store bought when its on sale to make ghee I love being able to always have and use a quality fat! Hope you're having a great week!
I was so excited to come home & tell u I hit the Jack pot at Goodwill on linen shirts. Wanted to share with u like u were my best friend… sweet as u taught me about the antibacterial properties. Thx
I just happened to have the luck of finding the most amazing girl, she knows all I'm trying to learn. Why haven't I had access to you sooner Much soon. Keep up the good work!
Hi, Cassandra! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your channel. First, because it's just plain amazing. Second, because although the YT homesteading community is AWESOME, there isn't a lot of diversity. In past videos, you have said you only use "approved" recipes, but I can't find an approved source for canning butter. Can you point me in the right direction? Finally got a pressure canner and dying to give this a try. 🙏🏾❤️
This video is excellent! In fact the several videos I've recently watched of yours are totally excellent!!! So happy to find you, Cassandra:) I know you're seeing a homestead in your future, but how awesome for you to fill this present place. Really helps those of us in similar situations. Love your spunk and personality -- and that energy!! I'll have some of that, haha. Thank you & God bless!
Enjoy your videos very much. This is by far my favourite though, you’re a hoot to listen to and don’t mess with our grandmas is right, although my Mum is 103 and she only ever ate butter. 😊
I find your videos pure gold. New to your channel. I'm also a new slowly growing homesteader.I got chickens this year and expanded my garden. I love your ideas in canning and cooking. Keep them coming.
Hello Christina! CONGRATULATIONS on becoming a chicken mama and expanding your gardens. Slow and steady is the way to go so that you can enjoy the journey, scale with confidence and avoid overwhelm. I'm so happy to finally be meeting other farm girls, like you. Hope your week is off to a great start!
Love your videos girl! I made my own bonemeal because you showed us how. How cool is that! Nothing like squeezing blood out of a turnip!! I am a no waste gal.
I have long made my own butter. It is now so EXPENSIVE, I almost have to. I have to say it's the most delicious butter known to man, so... there's that. I hope everyone starts to make it now!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl I'm so learning from you I'm about to become a farming guy sold my place in Torrance California and about to move to a one and a half acre lot in California City and start farming and trying to eat so much better
I’m seriously obsessed with your videos! Flawless, inspiring, packed with information. I have Nourishing Fats but I haven’t explored it as much as I need to.
❤ The butter show! Whoda thunk it?! My grandmas were brilliant cooks but I don't remember all this! Thank you for sharing your history in such a memorable, fun way! ❤
I had to laugh for two reasons when I listened to the beginning of this video. First, I often watch UA-cam videos at faster than Normal speeds, and I thought I had you on 2x Normal speed - but I didn't! 2. It's good to know that I am not the only person made frantic by hard butter. It makes me crazy when I go to a restaurant and the rolls on the table are (unnaturally) soft, but the butter is hard as a rock. I look like I am saying grace for a looooong time as I hold the wrapped serving of butter between my two hands that are clasped together.
Beth, BETH! This comment is pure gold--I literally snorted with laughter! Yes honey, the soft roll hard butter duo when you go out to eat just aint right, aint right I tell ya!
I've watched and enjoyed several of your posts and instantly subscribed when I discovered you. OMG! You talk fast. I have always cooked from scratch, and am familiar with a lot of the techniques and items you reference. Yet I still find myself rewinding multiple times to make sure I didn't miss something. Please, continue teaching and innovating recipes, but take a breath once in a while, repeat certain sequences for viewers trying to take notes, and/or change your editing to either establish a "prep" and roadmap to follow you thru a recipe or to recap all the things that went into the final product.
Hi Kim! I know I talk fast and honey I wish I could help it (and believe me I try) its a quirk I have even in person/real life. I appreciate that you shared your feedback kindly. I am working on it and some videos are better than others. Thank you for your patience with me! Happy New Year to you!
I came back to let you know I made my own butter after watching this and used it on my garlic bread. Its amazing! Thank you so much for making this video!
Happy New Year! I pray that all is well with you and your family. You have been on my mind quite a bit the past week or so. I pray the strength, wisdom, and guidance of the Lord over you. May God bless and prosper you greatly in this new year! I look forward to your next video. Thank you for sharing your passion and gift with us. God bless you!
Butter bells are great but I change my water every day or two because temperatures are much higher in the south. Even in the winter??? First of December upper 70's but this week in the 50's may have our first freeze on Sat Dec 17 in North Texas. Thank you for all the great compound butter combinations. Buy on sale and freeze. Yes Grandma's knew best.
How is it you don't have a million followers !! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Best and most accurate comment ever! 💯

The dramatics about butter!
I love it, Mrs. High Energy.

Thank you so much!!
Who keeps butter long enough for it to go bad? Lol. Thank you so much for all these amazing videos and a video on a food that I dearly love ❤️
Haha, I totally agree. If butter stays around that long you're not doing something right. I'm so happy you don't mind my silliness! Hope you're having a great week :)
Cassandra, you are so much fun. I love your videos every week. Spending Monday evening watching you has become a highlight of my week.
Me throughout this whole video… 😲
I learned so much! Thank you! 😊
First time watching your video I just subscribed to your channel. It is nice to see a young person bring back old memories. Thank you.
You are so fun and entertaining as well as informative!😄💥♥
You are my favorite new UA-camr! I've seen these tips before, but they've not inspired me as much as you just have.
City girl teaching rural girl and you ROCK IT!! GOD BLESS!!!! And Where did you get those clip on lids and seals!!!!
Wow, best butter dish yet for camping & home!
Love your videos. So informative and down to earth. I agree with Marsha, you need your own television food network show, but then I'd not be able to watch you anymore since I don't own a TV.
Your videos are so jammed packed with great usable info . I love it.
A grandmother’s wisdom is a true treasure. A blessing from God. ❤❤
Amen, Becky! I miss mine dearly.
Butter makes everything better...especially this episode!🍞
I found you in Canuary 2023! What an awesome channel, beautifully filmed!
Hello new friend! Aww, thank you so much! My Canuary releases January 24th.
My mom used to make butter in the blender when we got cream and milk from our cows, and later, from my relatives. It was awesome
I use distilled water and sea salt in my butter bell. The salt helps keep mold from growing on the butter. I’m trying the lemon balm butter!
Nikki- WHAT an excellent idea that I had heard of! While I haven't had a problem with mold an extra measure I can take is worth it, I so appreciate you for passing that along. And yes to the lemon balm butter!
How much salt do you add? I have a butter bell, but didn't know until this video about switching out the water, will start that but would love to know more about the salt!
@@jeanrichards8042 about a quarter to half a tsp is fine
I have never heard of a Butter Bell. Not even my grandmother used one. I don't think it's a thing here in Australia but I'm going to hunt for one. I hate hard butter and love this idea. Thank you!

I live in Canada and we keep our butter in the counter all year round. Never goes bad and it can take us several weeks to go through it
I grew up in a European household. Neither my mom or grandma ever refrigerated butter . Im a senior and have always left butter out in my own home. Never ever had a problem.
NEAT IDEA!! Thanks, Casandra!
Just discovered your channel! I am so pleased; you are delightful and a great teacher!
I leave my butter on the counter all the time. We go through it so fast it's never been a problem.
You are a treasure!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Ordered my butter crock this morning.
