I know what you mean. My husband is the cowherd. the Jersey matriarch follows him like she is a big hoofed Labrador, and I love working with her milk. They are wonderful beasts,
Drowning in Jersey milk; that is a fabulous predicament to be in! Margaret is the most beautiful surprise. So glad to see that all the bovine lovelies are doing well. Enjoy summer Elliott family!
As an emergency room nurse during a global pandemic, life is crazy. And rough. But watching you turn cheese and butter making into such a beautiful art has made my night. I’m so thankful for this channel and your family for being my peaceful escape ✨🌻💛
Thank you for all you are doing as a nurse during this crazy time. May God wrap his arms around you. Stay safe and healthy. Greetings from Wisconsin. Karen
Thank you for the work you're doing as you risk your own well being for all... Those who've been respectful of the dangers we're facing and those who have failed. May God bless you and keep you and yours safe from all harm.
@@RobinwoodFarmLLC I think she said that she wouldn’t do it again because it altered the taste. I’m not 100% sure, but she talks about it in a later video when she’s going through food in her root cellar 🥰
Awe....I just love your cows! I grew up on a 80 acre farm. My dad and mom raised us 9 kids by milking 28 cows. That was our life. It was the best life ever. I think of how blessed your kids are to have the life of the farm. So wonderful! ❤ Thanks for sharing your homestead with us. Greetings from Wisconsin. Karen
Something interesting. I watch a lot of videos on UA-cam from farming, gardening, design to cooking. Somehow without even knowing it - all the channels I watch are run by Christians who live their lives by the Word. We shall know them by their fruit !!
Sometimes I wish I could do my life over so I could live the life I dream of now! Farming is such hard work and if you don’t have a partner who shares your dream then it almost becomes impossible. So I do what I can and take joy in my small accomplishments, thank you for sharing yours!
Thing like this just brings back wonderful memories of grandparents and not knowing how hard they worked for all of us grandkids. I carry on from what grandma showed me but it's from bought stuff out of the store I make butter. Your family is wonderful for keeping the old ways going thank you.
May I just say Thank you for respecting the sweet animals on your farm. For caring for them as you do. How very refreshing. Reminds me of my time as a child 50 years ago on an organic farm with parents that instilled in me the importance of respect for all living things. You are leaving an incredible legacy for your children and those who can see thru your eyes. Most sincerely thank you. Blessing to your sweet family and precious homestead.
Isn't it crazy how getting back to where your food comes from makes things so much more precious. You don't just "get milk from cows" having a milk cow extends your family. That cow really dose share her milk with you and as a result you treat her like a queen and truly love her. My cow is so spoiled. Much better then the factor farming. I feel any ways.
Shaye, you forever inspire me and for that I am grateful! Getting ready to start the cheese recipe from our cooking community and now you've inspired me to dive deeper into cheese making. Thank you for making me a better person, cook, homemaker, homeschool mama, and more. I am ever thankful for you and knowledge and thoughts you pass along!
Spring is looking glorious in the farmstead Shaye. I can just imagine how great it is to get fresh milk in the morning and make dairy products with it. I would love to have a dairy cow someday. 😊
That's awesome! I remember on the farm how a Walmart bag came from some neighbor and the wind blew it up and the cows saw that bag and ran. It was kinda funny. I used to snuggle with the cow, she was so sweet.
Thank you for sharing your way of living and hard work, it's beautiful to see how tender hearted you guys are to your animals. Question: What happens to her babies?.
I thoroughly enjoyed every second of this video...I even had my husband watch it with me a second time since he grew up raising cows...this brought him a lot of nostalgia....He was intended to take over the 80 acre Farm with the 10 acre Pear and Pecan Grove here in Florida when we got married....but, his heart was pulled into a different career path.....No Regrets...but, such wonderful memories.....✌️💜💋
The ending really made me smile! I think it would be really great if you guys made videos showing your different processes for milking, fermenting, etc more in depth. I’m sure you’re both very busy but I feel like many of us would be interested in watching that. Sending your family love and light 💫
I grew up in the country across a dairy farm and the funniest memory I have was when they were building a new barn a few cows got stuck up on a huge mound of dirt and others broke free and started running down the road. 😂 Such simpler and happier times back then.
your vids are SO SOOTHING to my soul. the more i watch,the more i want to see,but at the same time...they are making my happy and sleepy due to the calm they bring. my hubbs agrees,because hes already asleep. lol.
What a beautiful journey with you this evening. I always cuddled the calves at my Aunt's dairy farm. One of the greatest memories of my younger years visiting the farm! Thank you for these precious glimpses into your beautiful home and family!
I used to make my own cheese. Your video is rekindling my want to start it again. I don’t have my own cow, but am looking into buying a milk share. Great video!
Loved watching!! The farm, growing producing, and making from your intimate relationship with the land. Somewhere in every family there is a surprise baby. Margaret is beautiful, just look at those eyelashes! Thank you for sharing your life.
These are the videos I watch again, and again, and again. They are so mesmerizing. Enchanting. Stunning. Inspiring! I can't get enough. ♡ Your animals look so peaceful and happy. ♡ I'm crossing my fingers for your cheese! I'm sure it will be perfect. ♡
What a beautiful video of your life living in the country. This really pulled at my heart strings and I shed a tear at the end. I've always wanted a milk cow and one day I will have one. Thanks for sharing this. You and your husband have such beautiful voices that is so relaxing. God bless you and your farm for years to come.
Your perseverance is commendable. 10 years on sourdough bread! You're an inspiration. I will always think of you and your sourdough bread when I feel like quiting.
Always enjoy y’all a videos! It allows me to “feel like” a homesteader for twenty minutes and see what it takes. Makes me realize, every time, the effort that is put in to keep it all going. Hats off to ya!
Oh my, what wonderful surprise! Both calfs are beautiful and very sweet. I have to agree with you about loving being on the farm and there is" no where else you would rather be." I am feeling filled with gratitude for our little 3 acre farm.
I literally cheered when it said you had a new video ❤️. That must have been such an amazing and scary surprise to get Margaret congrats ! Do you think you could do a sour dough bread tutorial with einkorn for us one day 😘
Simply gorgeous. You present all of this so beautifully! You are hard workers!We live on a 57 cow family commercial farm and it is a lot of work and yet such a beautiful way of life. Thank you for taking the time to share this inspiration with the world! Happy cheesemaking!
We love how you do homestead. Such an inspiration to most people who would love to start their own farm. We might think you’re a pro at farming. We got valuable ideas from your video and we’re going to share your channel with our customers who want to start a farm. Thanks for creating this!
I made my first cheese this year. I made mozzarella and ricotta. We used 1 gallon of milk fresh from a farm. It was so much fun. We got butter too. I was able to show my daughter and grandchildren how to do this. It was so amazing to show the kids where it really comes from
Today is my birthday and what a wonderful way to start my day! I thoroughly enjoyed this video and all it's moving parts. Your commentary is always thought provoking and educational. I would love to see individual videos on each process for cheese making, butter & yogurt making. Congratulations on your two new babies! So easy to see how you fall in love with all of them!
omg that made me cry. little george is so beautiful. thank you for sharing that. And the cheese looks amazing. I think this will be the year too. Wonderful. The butter looks gorgeous as well. fresh home made. Can't get any better I am sure. And the yogurt. I would love to eat yogurt that looks like that and not just thin. Ok I so get your geeking out. And I so love how you love Ceci. And that she knows you do to, and gives you abundance happily. hugs
What an exciting surprise at the end! Congratulations! I just got my first bottle calf (a heifer) and will also be getting a bred heifer in September. Can't wait!
What a great video and so much work went into that. I truly enjoyed it. The life of farming can be such a challenge but so rewarding and yet freeing at the same time. You are certainly living the dream. God bless you Elliott's.
Really enjoyed seeing this video! I've never done cheese, though I have wanted to try. Time to step out of the butter/yogurt box. Thank you guys for sharing the process and the cuteness!
I thoroughly enjoyed this MilkMaid video. I was brought on a farm in Iowa. Hot summer days. The smell of fresh cut hay. And my Dad milking at the end of a day. It is a wonderful place to raise children. We raised chickens to eat and hens to gather eggs. Pigs.... I hated that smell. Oh well it we all part of it. I am happy to tune into you and listen to you and your husband talk about what you are doing. You make a good pair. I have been on Parisienne Farmgirl for about 3 yrs. and I know you are best friends. Thanks Joyce
That’s the perfect breakfast. I have that every morning (sans honey), Why do I have the sudden urge to find myself a jersey cow for our little farm?! Thanks so much for sharing. :)
JLH don’t give up on the dream! 6 months ago we found 5 acres and are just able to realize the dream we had for 10 years! It is SO worth it. Now I just got to kick the suburban habits like the internet and it’ll be perfect. Lol
@@bearrootsfarmer6852 - Right on! Congrats..that's so awesome! Thank you, I won't! Kicking the internet....now that's a tall order...best of luck! :D Take care
Love watching your videos. It’s all seems so overwhelming to someone who wishes she knew all you knew but can’t even keep up with cooking meals everyday. 🤦🏻♀️ making that cheese looked magical 😍
Everyone has their thing they "geek out" about. Mine is milk!
Definitely your cheese year! I feel it too.
Me and my babies love your videos ☺️
Been loving the podcast Shaye! I listen on my way to work and on the way home. Always on repeat

Amanda Gaudet couldn’t agree more! I could feel my soul being put at peace and heeled a bit.
Yes. It is my peaceful escape from crazy world events as well.
Karen Hernke thank you! We definitely feel all the prayers and wishes. Greetings from Ontario ❤️
Thank you for the work you're doing as you risk your own well being for all... Those who've been respectful of the dangers we're facing and those who have failed. May God bless you and keep you and yours safe from all harm.
Also - for those who have asked, the cheese is waxed with melted beeswax from our hives.
I was wondering what it was. That is so cool!!
Thank you, I WAS wondering 👍😊
It’s been a year since you made this video. How did the beeswax work for the cheese?
@@RobinwoodFarmLLC I think she said that she wouldn’t do it again because it altered the taste. I’m not 100% sure, but she talks about it in a later video when she’s going through food in her root cellar 🥰
There is something magical about your videos. You were born to live this life style and inspire others!
Agreed!💕
Very tru
The way you expressed your gratitude to the cow for all those things she is giving you just took my heart away. You are truly wonderful people. ❤💙💜
Yes. I felt that way too. Precious queen cow. Learned something to appreciate my animals too

This is true admiration for your beautiful cow and all she provides- given all your hard work. Huge bravo!

Zgodnie z naturą. Dziękuję że jesteście... Jesteście mi bardzo bliscy, mimo, że dzieli nas tysiące km. Pozdrawiam Serdecznie. ❤️❤️❤️
I know how much work keeping a cow is, plus processing all her glorious milk. You make it look magical & relaxing. Thank you for sharing.
I teared up when you were talking about your relationship with your dairy cow🥰 life is good!
I can't imagine the amount of work that goes into this.
Spring is looking glorious in the farmstead Shaye. I can just imagine how great it is to get fresh milk in the morning and make dairy products with it. I would love to have a dairy cow someday. 😊

Love watching your videos. It’s all seems so overwhelming to someone who wishes she knew all you knew but can’t even keep up with cooking meals everyday. 🤦🏻♀️ making that cheese looked magical 😍
I cannot wait to see how the cheese turns out. I'd be so excited to see how the waxing will work...it would be like waiting for Christmas for me!
And forgot to mention little Margaret. She is so sweet to. That was a lovely surprise for sure if unknown. Nature is so so beautiful.
