You probably know that having chicken soup when you are sick makes you feel better. Science has proven that claim. It makes sense. You simmer fresh veggies, herbs and chicken in a pot, strain it and Voila! All the vitamins and minerals from the chicken and vegetables are released into the liquid making a hot,
Pearl (REG# AN1862142) and Samson (REG# N1776637) This will be Pearl’s 4th kidding, all with Samson. She has some strong bloodlines in her lineage, and she has proven herself to be a great mother and generous milker. She has given us only girls so far and all have been flashy. She gives us over a
Laurel (REG#N001932433) and Ollie (REG# N1970816) Laurel is out of Sunny and Samson and we have enjoyed watching her grow. Smaller at birth, she quickly outgrew all the does from last season. She is a tall and solid girl with a lot of her mother’s attributes. We have bred her to Ollie this year. Both
Chloe (REG# AN1873753) And Ollie (REG# N1970816) Chloe is Pearl’s first daughter. We had hoped between Pearl’s and Samson’s bloodlines that she would follow in their footsteps and she did not disappoint. As a 1st freshener Chloe was giving us a gallon a day and milked longer into the season than any of our other
Willow (REG#N001932432) and Ollie (REG# N1970816) Willow is Pearl’s daughter from last year. We’ve had such good luck with Pearl that we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to keep another of her daughters. We are thrilled with how she is grown. We have bred her to Ollie and we can’t wait to see what we
Sunny (REG# N1794093) and Samson (REG# N1776637) Sunny is our Fox’s Pride doe and we couldn’t be happier to have her. She is very “dairy.” She gives us a gallon a day and milks out easily. Her kids have been a nice balance between her great lineage and Sammy’s color. RETURN TO 2020 KIDDING
Previously, I wrote about how to make your own roasted pumpkin puree. Today, I’m going to show you how to use that puree for a great pumpkin pie. I used to buy the can of pumpkin in the grocery store and follow the directions on the back. Then I learned that the pumpkin in the
It’s hard to believe that it is November already, but here we are. Soon, Thanksgiving will be here and all that entails…family…cooking…preparing! I actually enjoy cooking, especially since I’ve learned to let go of rigid recipes and learned how to cook from scratch. My son’s favorite part of Thanksgiving is the pumpkin pie. And I
One of the greatest things I have come to enjoy in our homesteading life is making meals that use our own homegrown ingredients. I recently made a potato soup that exceeded that goal for me. As fall settles in and we head into November, nothing warms the soul than a good hearty soup. After a
You want to eat locally grown, healthy foods. But it’s hard. We get it. After all, how much zucchini and tomatoes can one person eat? We know that trying to keep your food choices local and fresh AND diversified isn’t easy. But we’ve got your back. Why not try something a little different? Like beets!
