Homestead Mornings

- Typical late summer morning on the homestead. The pigs have all gone to market and the garden is winding down, so the main focus is on the cow and all of the milk. Lots of cheesemaking happening in the kitchen as I’m working on perfecting hard cheeses while still rotating in old tried and true soft cheeses like mozzarella.
Here’s my blog post on making a sourdough starter.
I don’t have my sourdough bread recipe on my blog yet but I use 1.5 C water, .5 cup starter, 1T salt, and flour until it's shaggy - sorry I don’t measure! I like working off of the feel of the dough that way my loaf turns out even when I use different flours. You want a shaggy dough at first, don’t worry it will get more workable throughout the ferment.

Could I get some more info on the egg yoke latte? 🥚☕️ This is the first video I’ve watched of yours and now I love your channel 😍
Can you adopt me please 😅 All jokes aside, I'm 54 years old with two adult children and my little one is 16 😊 I asked them if they are all interested in the homestead life, and asked are they ready to leave the city life. So my little one replied NO very quickly 😅 My 29 and 23 year old said they would love to live the peaceful farm life with me ☺️ I definitely need a change in my life. You are an amazing mom and you have a beautiful family. God bless ☺️
I’d love to see a kitchen tour, your layout is so intriguing. My husband and I are planning to build a homestead house soon and I’m trying to gather as much insight as possible
I would love to see an in-depth kitchen tour explaining the layout, tools, appliances, organization, and function of your farm to table scratch kitchen.
New here. Glad l found your channel .. love you're passion for homesteading. Love also how you are so natural and real in your vlogs ❤
Everything you do is amazing ! Thank you very much for sharing all your knowledge and practices! It's so very interesting and inspiring.
Thank you!
Your sheer strength and perseverance is what amazes me
I’ve just found you on RUclips!!! I love your posts and I am amazed at all you get done!! Take care of yourself, too!!! God bless you!
“Ooo, just a tiny explosion there”. 😅 you, know, no big deal! Haha
I’m glad to see other moms and their daughters are also trying to solve the world’s problems, too, as it’s exhausting for just me and my mom and sister! Lol
Haha it really is a tough job to have to be right about everything! 🤣
Just found you, love your channel! Really admire ladies who go online like this and aren’t ashamed of their faith and give great wholesome entertainment for us! Thank you ❤
My husband and have an organic farm here in Ohio. A few years back I grew some purple Cherokee tomatoes. Also some Indigo Rose tomatoes. Indigo are usually smaller but just as sweet. Beautiful. I enjoy watching the cheese making. Maybe after harvest I’ll give it a try. Here’s hoping!!
Yes purple Cherokee is it! Now that I hear the name I remember planting them!
I am on my 4th day of trying to make my first sourdough starter.
It takes some practice working with sourdough but it’s so fun once you get the hang of it!
@hopewellheights I followed your einkorn starter its day 9! I did make sourdough pancakes on day 7 and they were delicious! Question! Can I now use unbleached flour? Also i have had fruit flys attacking it. Found one or 2 in it! Should throw all away and restart? Thanks!
@@user-ne7oe1hv7kgreat job! No way, just spoon out the fly and maybe surrounding starter and keep going. Good job!
LOL I'm on my first day. So excited to make bread this way!
Don’t throw away! I get fruit flys occasionally! Just make sure you get them out and cover your sourdough starter! I use a mason jar with a twist top. I don’t screw the cap on though! It works great though!
That tomato looks like a black Krim to me! I have the same plant anyway and that is my favourite
Your home must smell amazing from your baking makes me hungry thinking about it.your amazing
You can also drop an ice cube iunder the parchment paper to help not get a super hard bottom and it steams it really well
I so enjoy your videos!! I look forward to them. Keep them coming please ❤
Thank you!
I love your videos! They inspire me to do all the things. ❤
Thank you!
I just discovered this channel and I am a changed person. Getting ready to make sourdough starter, laundry detergent and prepping staples for the pantry.
That salad looked delish, 🇨🇦🌷
If a black beauty doesn't get a lot of sun, it can be mostly red. The more sun, the darker it gets. My black beauties are a purplish black on top and red on bottom. They're my granddaughter's favorite.
Wow I am really impressed about your knowledge and skills 😮❤
Your breakfast pizza crust looked interesting. I have yet to get into sourdough but it's on my list. Lol.
I liked the idea of using the trivet in the bottom of the Dutch oven.
Cow's do give a lot of milk! It's nice having a pig in case you just can't use all the milk every day. Since we have no refrigeration it's a challenge in the warmer months. I'm looking forward to the cool weather so I can save enough cream for butter. Most of it I turn into ghee. Hoping to freeze some this winter though for baking.
Growing up my mom had a gas stove. I do miss it at times. We now have a wood cook stove. Definitely a learning curve for me. For some reason I really dislike cleaning it though 🤔
Yes pigs definitely make it easier putting all of the milk and whey to use!! The dog is at least happy when the pigs go to market because he gets extra whey and sour milk! I need to venture into ghee, that’s one thing I haven’t done yet
@@HopewellHeights ghee is easy to make, needs no refrigeration, and taste so good. I love it on potatoes. It still solidifies if cold too.
Can I just say how much of an inspiration you are.
I didn’t realise how relatively simple mozzarella is. It’s so expensive to buy (in New Zealand anyway). I will have to try it!!!!
Great tips! As always! Bread looks delicious and the rest you did 🧀🍕 🍅 🌱 👌🤌 love your farm! And sally 🐄 so sweet n gentle ❤️ i thought your comment on the phone calls n kids needing you all of asuden was hilarious same here!! 😭 Lol and your tomatoes look the same as mine Cherokee purple!! ?? I did the same and lost 3 tabs on my others have no clue.. what they are 😂 but my Cherokee purple i do have and they look the same! Have a blessed day ✨❤️
Yes that’s what they are!! Cherokee purple, a new favorite for sure!
I am so excited to make mozzarella! Thanks!
Hi sis! I think your tomatoes are Purple Cherokee! We grew some this year and they were fantastic! So sweet!
Yes that sounds right because I know I planted 2 of those, mystery solved - thank you!
Amazing!, so interesting!❤
That tomato looks so good!
homemade mozzarella cheese sticks sound amazing!
The tomato looks like brandywine maybe? I have one but haven’t started getting tomatoes yet lol they’re so gorgeous though!
Oh my goodness!!!! THANK YOU for mentioning the trivet trick! I’ve been wondering how to get the bottom crust softer lol this is gonna be a game changer lol 😂 I’m remineralizing my teeth but they’re pretty weak right now and I chipped a tooth and I had bread that day so I think that had something to do with that. 😂
It’s definitely a game changer, super soft bottom!
You should try to make a "queso fresco" I know its a more hispanic cheese but it is really good. You heat up a gallon of milk just before it boils, add lime juice. I would do about 2 or 3 big ones. Turn it off and wait. Then after maybe 10-15 mins you also score and cloth drain make sure you really squeeze all that water out. I rinse it too but thats just me. Then salt it, queso fresco is salty 🧂 so be careful but not afraid to add some. Leave ptessed in a container in fridge overnight and then use it in the morning. I love it with breakfast. Like eggs and salsa with the cheese🤤🤤🤤🤤
That sounds delicious
Loved this!
I’ve been following your videos for about a week or so now and along with 1 other RUclipsr, you’re my favourite way to get motivated for the day. In one of your videos you’d made a quick comment about gluten intolerances and I’d love to hear your thoughts on that as my family can be sensitive to it if we have too much, but gluten flour is so much easier to work with and much…MUCH cheaper so anything that could possibly help, we’re willing to try. I’m not asking medical advice or anything, just a friendly, mother to mother suggestion 🙂I too am trying to stay down the path of home remedies and the like, so we avoid the dr unless it’s necessary
Where did you get your apron?
Would you consider doing a tour of your kitchen? I’m new here and live what I can see as the layout. Did you remodel a farmhouse or was it like that? Beautiful!
I like to add an inch or so of water under the parchment paper, it adds moisture in the baking process and I’ve never had a bottom crust that is hard. Just a thought.
Great tip!
I learned to add 3 ice cubes between the parchment and the Dutch oven. I’ve never had a hard bottom crust. Works great!
My morning is made. Sit down with my coffee and your video pops up ❤
Your dress I just love that! Is it linkable? 🙃
Oh I forgot to link it! This one is from neuflora 😊 www.neuflora.com/?ref=W4OeJ
My thoughts exactly 😊
I know it may be wrong for me to do this and I hope the sourdough people aren’t too mad with me. I do unbleached all purpose with filtered water and a dash of sugar for my starter!!
I’ve heard of people doing sugar!
Hi! I adore your channel. Inspiring! What brand is your glass beaded bowl ? I need this! 😍
Black krim tomato I think ❤️
I’d love to know where you get your dresses and aprons from? They’re beautiful.
May I ask where you buy your cute flowing skirts & dresses. I'm wanting to wear more but am having a hard time finding them due to so many are now mini short ones. I'm looking for midi ones that are flowing. ❤😀
The mozzarella looks delicious. The tomato could be carbon, krim or Cherokee possibly.
Where do you get your cute dresses? They look comfy to work in!❤
This one is so perfect for daily wear! It’s neuflora, I have several from them 😊 www.neuflora.com/?ref=W4OeJ
I just found your channel. I can't wait to binge your videos. I want to know about your skin care routine. Do you use any supplements or is your gorgeous skin primarily just from healthy eating? I ask because I've cleaned up so much of what I eat, but my face is still uneven and dull. I've experienced other benefits from cleaner eating, like less sicknesses, more energy and mental clarity, but my skin has yet to improve. Please share if you have resources.
Just my 2nd time seeing one of your videos. So question… Classic Egg Yolk Latte. What’s in it?
I love your videos there’s so much to learn! ❤
I’ve never seen a tap at the wall of the stove before it’s so cool! Is it town water? Or do you have you’re own well?
Help! I watched one of your videos where you showed natural skin care/healing products, but don't remember which video. I would like to know the name of the products.
What resources do you use for learning cheese making?
Where did you get your wisk?
Do you have any recipes for cream cheese? Haven’t found one that I love yet.
Nothing I like yet, going to try the one from the basic cheese making book soon - hopeful it’s a keeper!
Love your plates!!! Are they antique
Nope, Amazon!
Is there a trick to making raw milk yogurt? I have tried it twice and the good bacteria in the milk made it so the bacteria in my starter didn't work. Even with the gelatin added it was still like milk in the end... 🤷♀️
What kind of oven do you have? I love how the racks pare on the slides
wolf, love them!
Cherokee purple?
How do you make a sourdough starter? I couldn’t find a video of yours for that.
Hi! I have a blog post at hopewellheightsblog.com on this!
Would love to start cheese making. Is it animal rennet or vegetable?
I’m using animal
Our curd stretches at 170°
I use 2 spoons to do my streches.
You only get 1 gal of milk?
One of our jersey girls gives 10 gallons day..
I’ve seen the spoon method, I know a lot of people love that! Mine usually stretches really well at 140 🤷🏻♀️ the particular cow I’m milking now is about 6 months pregnant so I’m only getting 2 gallons a day. It’s a lot more when we wean prior to pregnancy!
With your egg yolk coffee. Do you add the whole egg or take out the egg white?
Just the yolk!
Thank you so much. I’m very curious about trying this. I’m currently 6 weeks pregnant and I would like to add this to my nutrition plan.
@@schuttepartyof3 the hot coffee “cooks” the yolk so no need to worry about raw eggs if that’s a concern 😊
Have you ever canned milk??
I have not but it’s on my list! I’d love to have so milk put away just in case something happened to one of ours cows
What’s written on your arm?
Looks like a carbon tomato.
Do you have a dishwasher?
I do! Only used it once, just not my thing
