We did a thing…
Well, we finally jumped in with both feet and have started our own YouTube channel! While this move has always been up for discussion, I’m painfully shy in front of the camera (I have a face for radio, you guys!) and I feel super out of place and fumbly trying to record myself. But the…
A small-ish update
Well established is the fact that I may, indeed, be the world’s worst at updating a blog. But alas, I am still here among the living and will provide the people with a small-ish update. Homestead life has been anything but boring over the past many months. There are so many events to write about,…
Brief Update, July 2023
It’s official. I’m THE WORST at giving updates. In the coming days, I will make every effort to add content to this blog. Life has gotten the better of me this year; there has been so much happening, both good and not so good. Let me start by saying that I will be back to…
Oh, What a Year…
I am so sorry for the lack on content on this blog. I’m terrible at techy stuff, I’d much rather be outside or doing work with my hands. Sometimes I feel like I was born out of season, but then I remember that I like air conditioning and indoor plumbing. On this, the last day…
2021: A Year on the Homestead: Working on a Building
February 19, 2022 Like many farms and homesteads, we find that ours expands and changes little by little each year; we take baby steps toward our short-term and long-term goals. However, 2021 was a year of BIG changes for us. The first of which had been in the workings for over a year: we purchased…
2021: A Year on the Homestead, Garden Edition
January 14, 2022 If New Year’s resolutions have taught me anything, it’s to not set New Year’s resolutions. True, I set general goals for myself and re-evaluate my vision for the Homestead; but to me that is an ongoing process instead of something I dictate on January 1st. I always strive to do better and…
No-Frills Chicken and Dumplings
When I think of comfort food, Chicken and Dumplings tops my list! While there are dozens of other variations available on the interwebs, this simple recipe will show you how to make a batch completely from scratch, with no can of cream-of-something-soup or store-bought broth. Enjoy this straightforward, homemade comfort food that will take you…
Got scraps? Make vinegar!
November 22, 2021 Earlier this fall I found myself in possession of bushel upon bushel of apples. After I had peeled and cored, sliced and chopped more than I care to admit I had a revelation: “I wonder if I can make vinegar with these scraps?” I had been dropping the cores and peels into…
Ready… or Not?

This post does however contain high doses of common sense blended with concern and lightly salted with sarcasm. Consider yourself warned.

Soured Milk Pizza Crust
When we first started our journey with raw milk (more about that later) I occassionally found myself with a small amount of milk left over that, well, just wasn’t super fresh anymore. Enter this wonderful, light and fluffy soured milk pizza crust! I actually made this recipe using soured heavy cream (not sour cream like…
