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.

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,Continue reading “A small-ish update”
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 dayContinue reading “Oh, What a Year…”

I always strive to do better andContinue reading “2021: A Year on the Homestead, Garden Edition”

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 intoContinue reading “Got scraps? Make vinegar!”

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 likeContinue reading “Soured Milk Pizza Crust”
