I love your videos. You always say how you’re not very educated. My dear you are an amazing source of knowledge. You should never say such things about yourself. To me and all your viewers you are very educated and full of wisdom. I’m not in a position to do 1/10 of what you do but I sure enjoy your videos and have learned a ton from you. So thank you. When I have your videos on I feel like I’m visiting with an old dear friend. May God continue to bless you and your beautiful family. I am looking forward to your next video. ❤😊 I have had you and your family in my prayers this past week with all the tornado’s hitting Iowa and neighboring states. Stay safe my friend.
I second this comment! I am in my 60’s and I have learned more common sense homesteading/food preparation and preservation skills from this channel than I have during my whole life.
This is very well said! Ruthann is a wealth of knowledge from real life experience handed down for generations and we are so grateful for all the things we’ve learned from her. I look forward to her videos each week. Congratulations to the winners of the giveaway!
Dear Ruth, I wanted to reach out to thank you. My name is Linda Kosarski and I am the winner for the Bosch mixer and Dehydrator. I have never won anything and I am so excited to get these. I am 82 and I still like to can food and cook. I have made many of your recipes and when the mixer comes, first thing is your cinnamon rolls and bread. I don’t put icing on my cinnamon rolls. What I do is put butter in a sauce pan with brown sugar and just a little cinnamon and also some chopped nuts. I bring to boil for minute and then I spoon it over the top of cinnamon rolls.
Ruthann, Happy Mother’s Day. My own mother is long gone and I’m not a mother. You’re the epitome for me of how some women are mothers to many - and not just to their own bio kiddos, or to their own families. Your nurturing and wisdom are a blessings and example to us all. For all you do, thank you!
Your new grandbaby is just beautiful, and he has so many aunts and uncles to dote on him. I noticed just how big your "little" boys are getting. Your whole family is so sweet and so happy. You and your husband are wonderful parents. Happy mother's day! 🥰
Hello RuthAnn and sweet family! Your grandbaby is beautiful. Thank you for such a detailed explanation on how to make mozzarella, it is a learning process. I hope you have a wonderfully Happy Mother’s Day and everyone has a blessed day!
Thanks for the Beautiful sunset ? I enjoyed it a lot . I’m 75 years old and I love to can with you. I have no source for your type of milk to make the cheese with. So I just enjoy to listen and get blessed by your sweet nature, & enjoy your sweet family’s action. God bless you and your family !
My grandmother had a grater like yours! My holiday job was to grind Nilla Wafers for her to make rum balls for Christmas gifts! It has gone missing since her passing and I get a tug on my heartstrings when I see you using yours!
I recently discovered your channel and am loving it! You are such a wealth of knowledge. I grew up on a small farm in eastern KY and many of the things you talk about are familiar from my childhood, but I never acquired the skills. Now at nearly 50 I have spent the last several years gleaning knowledge from older family members. I am so thankful for you as a source of information and education. I also enjoy your family dynamic which is also so much like my childhood. Thanks again and blessings to you and your family.
I would love to spend a month just learning from you. You are so knowledgeable, and your ways are like my mom's people from way back. I watch your channel nonstop since finding it. You're amazing. Thank you for sharing. I have 10 daughters, and we learn from you😊
Thank you so much for showing us these cheese making and other ways of making things. Since my health had declined I started making almost everything from scratch including hot dogs, kielbasa and Italian sausage all using chicken. You are an inspiration to me
I live in the city and I learn something new from your videos and your grandson is getting bigger you have a beautiful family you are a blessing to my life thank you from Philadelphia Happy Mother’s Day to you and your daughter
Your videos are so inspiring and informative. I love watching them. I wish I was younger. Thank you and your precious family. God is great. Bless you sweetie.
RuthAnn u have such a beautiful soul. So much knowledge and learning,and living off the land. I love the cheese making,ive made raw goats cheese, so good. What God has helped us with farm animals is a delight. Great video!
Ruthanne I do enjoy your way of teaching. It must be the way I learn because I understand many things better after watching you teach it. Thank you & blessing to you & your family.
I remember when growing up getting a gallon a weekbb by of milk. When a neighbor farmer said he had extra milk from his cows and told my mom if she brought gallon jugs to put it in she could have 2 gallons a day. We were overwhelmed. Us kids were allowed milk with everything. We started making our own butter. My mother was from the city and we didn’t know anything else. This was in the 70’s. I sure wish I knew how to have made more. We moved away a year later . Sure missed all that.
I want to make some. It looks like fun, but hard work. Thanks for sharing your beautiful grandson with us. I love how the aunt and uncles love him. New life brings so much joy.
What a wonderful upbeat happy video this was!! I've come to love watching your beautiful family. I learn something from each of your videos. I'm still catching up on your older ones and boy, do you do things the easiest way possible. Yesterday I watched you can peaches so quickly and easily! I'm changing up the way I do things. I love watching the "old" ways you do things that you learned from your mom and grandma. You're the best, RuthAnn. Happy Mothers Day
Hi from your northern MN neighbor, Ruthann! I'm so glad I found your channel. I just love it - you are practical, encouraging and inspiring. You help me so much! Thank you! Do you have a good book recommendation for processing milk? Our Jersey cow is coming in the next few weeks! We need to learn quickly - looking to learn everything from sour cream to hard cheeses. TIA!
I look forward to every video you post. Anything you buy off your farm needs to have tax added as part of the calculation. Each dollar spent has had tax paid o it. Really looking forward to trying this with store bought milk (my only option). I hVe read so may companies even add chemicals to ricotta cheese. The only brand I can find without is $6 here in Ontario. Do you know of a good source for the citric acid or renit?
I am really new to your channel but i really enjoy it, but my husband loves mozzarella cheese. So I'm sort of catching up on your channel. I don't know ì think the cat loves that milk. I think you are a wonderful mum and you have a lovely family. My name is Jean and i come from Scotland UK which is a beautiful country which i love. At the moment i live on an island called bute and we are lucky our house is just across from the sea. But back to your channel I'm still playing catch up but I'm getting there. Thanks for your great channel.
Ruthann, I agree with everyone. You explained the process so thoroughly for me that, I will try again. I tried to make mozzarella one other time and it was a fail. Now, I know why! Thank you so much for all that you do to help others live a life as fulfilled as wanted! Your farm is truly amazing, thanks to you and your entire family!
Good morning family and RuthAnn. Being busy is a wonderful way to past the time away. But a good busy. I love frozen yogurt, it is just as good in frozen form as ice cream. Love watching your home video's on the farm, makes me want one. Love the many waus you do your milk. Have you ever freeze dried it? Congratulations to the winner. Happy Mother's Day Weekend to all mother's. Bless you all and yes God is Good.
@Ruthannzimm ok. I've just seen alot of homestead families that have bought them and freeze dry just about everything. Then, if you want fresh fruits in wintertime, you rehydrate them with a little water. . They are a little pricey but the wonders you can do with them.
Such an interesting video! So much usefulness from one product. We never had a milk cow, but I definitely see the value of having one. This is definitely a busy time of year for everyone. What a joy that little grandbaby brings to the family. Have a great week.
Even though I don’t have the resources to make cheese I loved this video tutorial, so informative - you’re a very good teacher RuthAnn. Your little grandson is adorable.
Thanks so much for this tutorial on mozzarella cheese. I was making our favorite - cheese curds- as I was listening/watching your video. I have made mozzarella with ‘some’ level of success but your tutorial by far is the best. I appreciated your advice at the end, saying that no ‘one’ way is the right way and to watch and learn from a bunch of people and do what works best. I have seen several people use their hands and, by necessity, their arm to stir and break up the curds. I have always used a spoon, thinking that there might be bacteria under my nails or on my arm that might get transferred to the cheese. Do you use any special solution to wash your hands and arm before starting the process of stirring and breaking the curds? Thanks so much for your wonderful tutorials!
Not when I’m making mozzarella. Because I’m not aging it I don’t worry about bacteria as much. When I’m making aged cheeses I just wash my hand and arm well with hot soapy water and I keep my nails short for milking so they’re usually clean.
Your explanations are always so thorough and understandable - thank you! You take away the intimidating aspects so that I now feel like even I can do this!
Thank you for making the process easy to understand! Off topic.. did you and your husband ever do an interview about your journey from OOM .. I would love to hear your story! I have been binge watching all your previous videos because you have a wonderful way of teaching.
I don’t have a cow or milk but I enjoy watching you making cheeses butter and everything. You’re so sweet and interesting to share your talent. I won’t be making but it’s a pleasure to learn about your homestead. Thank you for sharing. Happy Mother’s Day. I hope you have a special day because you deserve it!❤
After watching your video the recipe and instructions I got for making mozzarella cheese make so much more sense. And I believe I will have some success at making mozzarella. Thank you
I have learned so much from you. I found your channel about 5 months ago. I benge watched your videos and got caught up. Now I can hardly wait for each weeks new video. Thank you so much. Happy Mothers day. Have a blessed day.
Hello 👋 again sweet friend. Another great recipe you've shared today and more great tips too. Thank you thank you thank you. I've been busy this past week and weekend getting my plants in my pots and I went yesterday to my daughter's house and helped her transplant her plants as well. I've FINALLY got her interested in growing her own food. Well I started with a couple plants this year so she don't get overwhelmed but I just want to thank you for all the knowledge you've shared on your channel. My daughter and I have decided to try to find some land and house big enough for all of us or land with two homes in it or I'd accessable for two homes so we can live more frugal and not have to participate in the system as much as it's just become evil from all angles. So sad but true. Anyways I thank you for a big part of this inspiration. IDK if it will be a year. It may take longer but at least we have our end goal figured out. God will provide a way no matter what happens this I do know. Love you guys and sending hugs and good vibes from VA/TN. Can't wait for next weeks video. God Bless
Good morning Ruth Ann. Happy Mother’s Day to you and your daughter and all the mothers. Thanks for sharing your process and for your advice. Have a wonderful blessed day ❤😊
I would love to have a glass of your fresh milk! I can imagine it's better than anything one can find in a grocery store. Coffee with the freshest of cream, oh yum 😋 Thank you for another wonderful video!
I have The Independent Homesteader in my collection of books. It is a wonderful resource as well as a confidence builder to trust yourself and build your skill set.
the whey can be used to make Scandinavian brown cheese. they put the brown cheese on their waffles along with a berry jam. i bought some at whole foods market, it comes in a red packaged cube about 2 inches x 2 inches, and they charge about $10. tastes great. it takes a lot of whey to make it...but it's one more thing to make instead of giving it all to the pigs. love your videos.
Hello Ruthann, I love your name, your grandbaby is beautiful, thank you for explaining what you are doing in your videos, they are very informative. also if I may ask where did you get the nifty gadget you used to shred your mozzarella cheese. I would love to get one as well. Patty
You have such lucky children to have incredibly skilled and intelligent parents to show them this way of life. Thank you so much for sharing! I'm old enough to be your mom (1st GREAT grandchild last year!) and you still teach me so much.
OMG yogurt popsicles! My mold will be here tomorrow! thanks! I have canned cherries in rum! I think I will use them! I am going to pit them and freeze till tomorrow. OH BOY!
Excellent video! Babies, gardening, cheese making, all sorts of things! Each time I see and hear you explain about the processes of cooking and homemaking I'm so impressed with how you have become so educated at doing that! The science of it all is way more than I ever considered. Thanks so much for sharing. Happy Mother's Day!
this one was especialy fun to me . i am from the south of the nethelands , europe. and when you said smierkies , that kracked me up , thats how we pronnouns it regardles love your channel💌
Another great tutorial on cheese making! Keep on with more teaching videos grandma Ruth Ann! The baby is beautiful and thanks for giving us another glimpse of the baby! You are blessed and I’m sure many more grandchildren in the future!
❤your videos are full of useful knowledge!! Thank you for being such a wonderful educator! Every video is truly a pleasure to sit and watch and learn!!
I did not realize until I saw you on the speaker list for the McMurray homestead site that you live in NE Iowa. My husband is from the Waucoma area and we currently live right in the edge of WC on a small homestead.
Good for you, so nice to have your own cheeses, butter and other wholesome foods. So wish I had access to raw dairy. Love learning from you. Redmonds is what I use ... Great tutorial!
I love your relaxed way of making moz. I've watched others go about it and was rather intimidated. Your way seems very doable for me. Guess I'll be whipping up some cheese tomorrow. Thanks, Ms. RA!
I have learned so much from your videos. I'm at the start of the journey to grow, raise, can and preserve. Where did you purchase your butter churner? I live in Canada but will order from your sites and have it delivered to a friend that lives in the US. I see her once a year, we catch up, fabric shop, share recipes and collect everything I've ordered. I can't wait until August.
Blessed Mother's Day! I'm not sure why I'm so intimidated about making cheese. I'm going to try!! Thank you for sharing this educational video! Blessings sweet lady!! ❤
I love your videos. You always say how you’re not very educated. My dear you are an amazing source of knowledge. You should never say such things about yourself.

So happy for you! Congratulations and enjoy.
I never get tired of watching you make cheese. You add 2 simple ingredients to milk and it turns to cheese. It's almost magic!!
Ruthann, Happy Mother’s Day. My own mother is long gone and I’m not a mother.
You’re the epitome for me of how some women are mothers to many - and not just to their own bio kiddos, or to their own families. Your nurturing and wisdom are a blessings and example to us all. For all you do, thank you!

Hi from your northern MN neighbor, Ruthann! I'm so glad I found your channel. I just love it - you are practical, encouraging and inspiring. You help me so much! Thank you! Do you have a good book recommendation for processing milk? Our Jersey cow is coming in the next few weeks! We need to learn quickly - looking to learn everything from sour cream to hard cheeses. TIA!
Ruthann, I think you are just amazing! You have so much knowledge. I have learned so much from your videos. Thank you so much!!
Smart advice regarding what leaves the farm!❤🙌🏻
I look forward to every video you post. Anything you buy off your farm needs to have tax added as part of the calculation. Each dollar spent has had tax paid o it.
Really looking forward to trying this with store bought milk (my only option). I hVe read so may companies even add chemicals to ricotta cheese. The only brand I can find without is $6 here in Ontario.
Do you know of a good source for the citric acid or renit?
I am really new to your channel but i really enjoy it, but my husband loves mozzarella cheese. So I'm sort of catching up on your channel. I don't know ì think the cat loves that milk. I think you are a wonderful mum and you have a lovely family. My name is Jean and i come from Scotland UK which is a beautiful country which i love. At the moment i live on an island called bute and we are lucky our house is just across from the sea. But back to your channel I'm still playing catch up but I'm getting there. Thanks for your great channel.
Merci beaucoup pour toutes ces connaissances que vous partagez avec nous. Je continue l'exploration de votre chaîne depuis la France.
Ruthann, I agree with everyone. You explained the process so thoroughly for me that, I will try again. I tried to make mozzarella one other time and it was a fail. Now, I know why! Thank you so much for all that you do to help others live a life as fulfilled as wanted! Your farm is truly amazing, thanks to you and your entire family!
You can do it! So glad you will
Try again!!
Congratulations to all the winners!❤ great video on mozzarella making!
Thank you for another great cheese tutorial! Yum! Happy Mother's day! Blessings on your family and your homestead!🌻🐛🌿💚
Ruthann...I absolutely LOVE watching you "teach" these things. Have a blessed day. LUCRETIA
Good morning family and RuthAnn. Being busy is a wonderful way to past the time away. But a good busy. I love frozen yogurt, it is just as good in frozen form as ice cream. Love watching your home video's on the farm, makes me want one. Love the many waus you do your milk. Have you ever freeze dried it? Congratulations to the winner. Happy Mother's Day Weekend to all mother's. Bless you all and yes God is Good.
We don’t have a freeze dryer so don’t freeze dry it.

Excellent video! Babies, gardening, cheese making, all sorts of things! Each time I see and hear you explain about the processes of cooking and homemaking I'm so impressed with how you have become so educated at doing that!

I did not realize until I saw you on the speaker list for the McMurray homestead site that you live in NE Iowa.
My husband is from the Waucoma area and we currently live right in the edge of WC on a small homestead.
Thank you Ruthann.
Happy Mother's Day.
Good for you, so nice to have your own cheeses, butter and other wholesome foods. So wish I had access to raw dairy. Love learning from you. Redmonds is what I use ... Great tutorial!

You don’t have a television do you
Yes we do have TV. Mostly we watch sports.
Theres a large screen tv mounted over the fire place in the living room. The few times I saw it being watched it had sports going.
I love your relaxed way of making moz. I've watched others go about it and was rather intimidated. Your way seems very doable for me. Guess I'll be whipping up some cheese tomorrow. Thanks, Ms. RA!
I’m so happy to hear this!!!!
Ruthann you absolutely amaze me! Thank you for your knowledge. Happy Mothers Day
Have a Wonderful Mothers Day❤, I only wish l had a Mother like you. How different my life wouldve been.
God bless you. May your own parenting journey heal the little girl inside of you!!!
I have learned so much from your videos. I'm at the start of the journey to grow, raise, can and preserve. Where did you purchase your butter churner? I live in Canada but will order from your sites and have it delivered to a friend that lives in the US. I see her once a year, we catch up, fabric shop, share recipes and collect everything I've ordered. I can't wait until August.
Wisementrading.com is where I got my butterchurn!!
Blessed Mother's Day!
I'm not sure why I'm so intimidated about making cheese. I'm going to try!! Thank you for sharing this educational video! Blessings sweet lady!! ❤
I think knits intimidating because we haven’t seen it done very often!! The more we are exposed to something the less intimidating it becomes.
I love Saturday mornings with ruthanne 😊❤
Yay! Thank you!
