What do we DO with 35 GALLONS of RAW MILK a week?!

- Опубликовано: 11 июн 2024
- Having a family milk cow is like the holy grail of homesteading, and for good reason! I love my cow, and I love the raw milk that we get from her. But, she gives a TON of milk! What do we do with it all? Grass-fed dairy is the best.. there's ice cream, chocolate milk, yogurt, butter, and the list could keep going. There are several basic ones we do all the time, and we've dabbled in some others. Although not shown in this video, we do some soft cheese making too! On a side note, not only did we use a lot of dairy in today's video, but I guess we used a lot of maple syrup too! 😂

When I was a child we had raw milk all the time. No one ever called it raw milk. It was just milk 😂. My husband was just saying ice cream was better when we put the eggs in it
Yes! The eggs make it creamier:) Let's make raw milk that normal again!
Me too! We had raw milk until i immigrated to the US. 😢
I grew up on a farm drinking loads of raw milk everyday as well (albeit from a Holstein cow). We used to do the hand crank ice cream as well - it was amazing. Since moving into the "big city" I really don't drink that much milk anymore - just not the same. Every time I see someone put raw milk they just produced into a cup a coffee though it makes me long for those days - nothing better. Nice work on this video.
Thank you! Glad you were able to experience raw milk when you were young:)
Ok, could you have ended this video any more adorable!?🥰 We are just getting started in dairy with our first small herd of goats. We are loving having raw milk around the house! Currently any extra goes straight into our freeze dryer to powder because I don't want to buy any milk over the winter when we dry our girls off! Next year hoping to have even more to "play" with and make all the things! I love the morning drink you demonstrated; one of my twenty-something sons is always looking for something with a bit more protein to help him make it through his day!
Love your freeze-drying idea. I've never thought of that. Thanks for all the kind words!
Our favorite basic way to use dairy is to make yogurt! We use Greek culture like you and find that overnight 12-14hr does the job well without it getting too sour. We have it on pancakes as a special occasion food on a Saturday morning, with fruit. Thanks for your easy to watch video as always.
Thanks for sharing!! The pancakes sound awesome:)
Sounds like you have a good handle on utilizing your dairy abundance! I just learned how to make butter....we love the taste. It is nothing like store bought!
It's so good!
@@morethanfarmers I wish I lived near you. I would be BEGGING you to sell me some.
Hello from NC. I am new to your channel just happened along y'all within the last week and I am truly enjoying your content. Very excited to have a new homesteading channel to watch and learn from. Thanks and God Bless.
Welcome to the community! So glad you're enjoying our content!
Thank you so much for all of your tips and tricks, you have helped my family out a lot 😊
I absolutely loved this video! You gave so much important information about milk and its benefits and even the downside of consuming too much dairy. The kids are so cute and love that they are so happy on your farm. Thanks so much for this wonderful video and all the tips you gave, as well.
Thank you! So glad you found it helpful!
We make butter, yogurt and cheese every week and ice cream at least once a month... I'll have to try your ice cream recipe next time! The easiest way we have found to make yogurt is in an instant pot and a yogurt strainer because we like thick Greek yogurt.
That's awesome! Greek yogurt is a favorite of mine as well...It's a bit more time-consuming though so Michelle only does it occasionally:) Good luck on the ice cream!
You should post some videos of your process 🤙🏽
I just found your channel yesterday and I love your videos! I also think we live within an hour of your farm!!! We currently live in northern Fayette County (Jeffersonville) but will be moving soon to northern Ross County to a property with just over 5 acres. So, hello neighbors!!! We have laying hens already and plan on adding a beef cow or two in the near future. I'd love to have a dairy cow and am so pleased to hear that you only milk once a day...I think that's way more doable than the thought of having to be home by a certain time every single day twice a day. Can't wait to continue learning stustainable homesteading with your family!
That's awesome!! Glad to have you here, neighbor:)! Amen on the milking once a day...it totally transformed our routine!
Been thinking of getting an ice cream machine. Thanks for showing yours!
Same! Have an old ice cream maker that makes more frustration than frozen ice cream 😅
I would love to see videos more in depth on butter and yogurt making! Also a mayonnaise recipe! 😊😊 loving your videos!
Here's one about butter 😊 ruclips.net/video/o-1rGC-s_YI/видео.htmlsi=wIMJepOUcidXQbb1
I’m absolutely loving this collaboration and have so many news things to try with all our milk! Thank you!
Right on!
That chocolate milk you made looks great!!!
Yum yum! Thank you!
Wonderful ideas for using milk. I'll definitely be doing several of these! God bless!
It All looks soooo good. Your hard work pays off in delicious food. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing this great information!
You’re welcome!
I love y’all’s vibe.
Why thanks😊
Hi Codi, great video about all of the uses for milk in your Household. I don't know if you follow The Pastured Homestead channel but Zach also had a lot of stomach issues that were helped with Guernsey milk as opposed the other cows milk. Glad that Michelle found something that helped as having Gut issues is the worst.
Thanks for the tip...I'll check out that channel:) And you're right, gut issues are very hard to deal with
I love this kind of life. Hardwork and you eat your harvest. Productive life.
So true!
Thank you for so many great ideas! The use of a cooler to make the yogurt is so smart!
You are so welcome! Definitely try the cooler...makes for the best yogurt:)
Oh wow! Thank you so much for all the different items and information you put into this video! I absolutely love ice cream 🍨😋! God Bless your Family.
You're very welcome! Ice cream is the best;)
Thank you for this video
Thank you for putting in the fda warning. ❤
I don’t know the ratio, but vanilla beans and gin make vanilla extract. I made mine almost a year ago, and it’s the best vanilla extract I’ve used.
Sounds great!
Great idea with all the ways you can use milk.
Thank you for all the tips, especially for the yogurt . Have a blessed day.
You're very welcome!
Don't forget your can culture your cream for homemade Sour cream, cultured skimmed milk for "buttermilk" , and kefir and CHEEEESE. Though i know cheese making is no joke when you're first learning. But you can use up A TON of milk that way. I'm working my way through the "homemade dairy" course through Carol they have a you tube channel "homesteading family" and she has great tutorials on all kinds of stuff. Thanks for the reminder to make ice cream with it! ❤❤❤
Yes! Thank you! We are hoping to do a cheese making course once we have some time to spare. Maybe this winter😊
All the way from KY, we are happy to meet you, new to your channel! Cant wait to watch more of your videos. Love the fact that you all do the cow share. We have been looking for a farm to get milk with no luck yet. Milk has so many uses as you have shown but ice cream would be my favorite if I had to pick one as well. Thanks for showing us all the ways you all like to use it. Butter for a year, wow, thats a lot of work but will be so rewarding! Blessings to you and your family. Watching through the collab.
Welcome to the community! Glad you're here:) I hope you find fresh milk...there's nothing like it!
Love this! Cute family too! 🤩🥰🍦🥛
What a blessed life you have! Your recipes all look yummy! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much!
Someday, I will have a homestead of my own, and your videos have given me some seriously good information. I hope to be at least half as skillful as you guys when that day comes.
Thank you for the kind words. I have no doubt that you will do a great job! There's so many resources available nowadays!
Thank you so much for sharing these delicious, nutritious recipes with all of us! I recently discovered your channel, and I love watching. I actually knew nothing about this collaboration on dairy month before I saw this video!
You're welcome! So glad to have you here!
What an awesome video! Thanks for reminding me about my stick blender. It was in my sons shed and I totally forgot about it. I’ve made homemade ice cream, but my favorite thing to make would have to be butter! Your little girl is an absolute doll. I was raised on fresh raw milk and it’s so inspiring to see her being raised on natures best! Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed this video. 🥰
Thank you! One of the best things about milking our cow is watching the kids enjoy the milk! Our oldest son used to cry and refuse to drink store milk when our cow was dry;) Cheers for stick blenders!
Love this!
A small portion of the milk, you can add lemon juice and turn it into sour cream for taco night! Plus, I wondered if you could split milk with additional water which reduces the excess weight gain yet still provides the nourishment for your body.
I’d rather keep it whole and drink less 😊
Very yummy livin' with fresh, farm raised goodness!!
Well done as usual guys.😊
Thanks for all the great ideas and the kids and I can't wait to try some or all of these! We found your channel by watching all the videos in this collab playlist! Thanks for sharing! ❤
Awesome! Thank you! Glad to have you!
That’s a lot of milk! Thank you for sharing how you use all of that. 😊❤
You bet!
That butter looked so creamy! I'm glad to hear you can tolerate cream in your coffee! It is so tasty! Thanks for sharing!
Yes! Being able to enjoy dairy is such a blessing. and You're welcome!
I like the shake mix. Always hard for me to find time to eat enough, I'll be trying this out thanks!
You won't regret it!:)
Thank you guys it was fun watching a new channel your milk looks yummy!
Our pleasure!
Love all the great ways to use milk! That ice cream looks delicious!
It was! Thank you!
Always useful info and intertaining! I love your videos!🎉❤
Glad you like them!
You guys are awesome
That icecream looked 😋
I love all your tips and tricks with milk. thank you.
You're very welcome!
I’m excited to try these when we get a dairy cow
Lovely Video guy's ❤
Thank you 😀
We are in southern Ohio about 40 minutes outside cincy. We had our wonderful jersey cow Tink for over 3 years. But then our hay guy ended up ghosting us and we couldn’t find any hay to feed her over the winter. So we sold her to a family in Tennessee. Miss her so much. Want to have a cow back on the homestead again. Miss the raw milk so much
That's a rough time. Hoping you can get that wonderful milk somehow this year!
Ice cream is for sure my go to .
That protein shake looked scrumptious. 😋 Enjoyed your video.
Thank you 😋
Thanks. Interesting journey with your consumption
I love ur lifestyle, ur relationship and ur beautiful children.❤❤❤
I'm soon glad I found your channel! Loading up in info!
Awesome! Thank you! Welcome to the community!
Just found you all! Right now living ice cream!❤
Welcome!! Thumbs up for ice cream:)
I used to buy Guernsey milk from a country neighbor and it was so rich and delicious. Better than all other kinds of milk. Their cows were Gigantic! Very big and tall. Enjoy!
Super powered chocolate milk! Thank you for the delicious recipe.
Amen! There's nothing like it:)
Thanks for the video. Even 14 gallons of milk a week would be a lot to get thru for me. I hope to find a cow share, otherwise I guess I will be getting milk goats. I think having access to fresh raw milk is something most people would benefit from. Cheers.
Yeah it's a lot! Hope that works out for ya 😊
Hey guys, watching from Australia loving your videos
What a little cutie! "it's nummy, Dad". Thanks for the great video. Loved all the ideas! We have a few Guernsey as nurse Moms for extra beef calves so when I get that first rush of milk, I'm making all sorts of things to freeze, butter being the most important. Then I get told there's calves on the cow and I'm done for the year Wow, if you haven't tasted cookies make with homemade butter, you have no idea what you're missing!
Amen to that! And the nutrient density of fresh butter far surpasses the grocery store stuff too!
Real milk, life!
Very good video❗️ Just found your channel a few days ago and truly enjoying‼️🌻🦋
Welcome to the community! So glad to have you here!
Thanks for sharing all your dairy ideas. We enjoy making yogurt the most. So easy, and gets used up quickly. I don’t have anything fancy and also pour my cultured milk into mason jars and have a seed mat on the bottom of a small cooler with a towel on top. Works like a charm.
Great idea!! Thanks so much for sharing! Yogurt is definitely one of Michelle's favorites as well:)
We love making farmers cheese with our goats milk. I really need to venture to yogurt!
Farmers cheese is great:) We use that to make lasagna!
Had fresh cow milk as a kid. Fun and informative video.
Love your videos. Watching from Jamaica 🇯🇲 😊.
That's awesome! Welcome to the community!
Nothing beats fresh cows milk😊, I loved your video, lots of new ideas thank you so much !!
You are so welcome!
If you hang some fresh yogurt in a bag made of cheesecloth some of the whey will drip out and you will get a thick spreadable yogurt spread.
There are also a few types of soft cheese that are super easy to make like mozzarella or farmers cheese.
Thank you so much for this video. I love the ideas for using extra milk. I appreciate new ideas.
You are so welcome!
Wow! That’s all I can say!!❤
Good morning new friends. I got a tick bite and cannot do meat, dairy, gluten, or processed foods it’s been a life changing event. So I cannot consume dairy. However, my family still can. I would love to find a local farmer for raw milk. There are a few and they have a waiting list for the milk. Before the tick bite I have asthma and couldn’t consume much milk but loved chocolate milk. I can do the nut milks. Building a house is stressful we are in the process and have waited a year for windows and the waiting on materials has been so hard. I am so ready to be done! I appreciate the wife’s explanation on the difference in the cows and grass fed vs, grain fed and different breeds. New to your channel. I hope you have a blessed week! Wendy🙏🏻🇺🇸🌎
Wow...sorry about the tick bite. Food restrictions are tough...we hope that you will find healing for your health issues. We know it can be a long hard road. Best wishes on the house!
That is a protein packed drink!
Ice cream is my favorite dairy product!!
My grandma raised milk cows and I swear it is the best food on the planet. It's nothing like store bought.
Amen!!
If you grow cucurbits and they develop powdery mildew a mix of 10% skim milk and water will sloe the spread significantly, you can increas the milk to what ever level you want so 100% milk will also work on the PM
Thanks for that!
I think learning to make your own yogurt and ice cream would be amazing. What a nice treat
It really is!
Best looking ice cream I've ever seen!
Straight up whole milk is my favorite.
Lots of good information in your video. I love homemade yogurt & butter. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks, and you're welcome!
Watching from South Africa
Awww Nummies
I healed my gut the same way Michelle did! Took time but so worth it! Unfortunately I live in homeowners association that will not allow cows. I buy organic milk and cream. Still can’t drink milk but can enjoy other dairy products.
That's great!
I was always told that raw milk was not safe to eat or drink. I'm learning that is not true thanks to people like you. We dint have dairy cows now but it's definitely something to consider in the future. Thanks again.
Thanks for sharing! Hope you can try some sometime!
We have been making lots of butter and icecream lately. So good!!
Sounds great!
The ice cream looks so good. I could use a treat at work tonight. Thank you for your info.
Definitely treat yourself! and you're very welcome:)
Our first milk cow freshens in august. We have a milking shorthorn and a milking Devon. We are very excited to have milk soon!
That is awesome!
Thank you for the tip to add raw eggs to my ice cream recipe. I hadn’t added eggs to my recipes yet because of the hassle of cooking them first then letting the mixture cool. I got over my out of proportion fear (seriously, I eat raw batter!), I made a batch and it was amazing! Sooo happy! Thank you!
You're welcome 😊 It's the best!
I’ve tried your chocolate milk recipe... SO GOOD!! I’ll never go back to the cheap/unhealthy stuff I did before! Thanks for sharing!
Yay! Once you've tasted the real thing, you can't ever go back;)
Thanks for your video & information. We’re considering milk goats.
Good choice!
I used to be able to buy raw milk when I lived in the States. Now not only do I not have access to raw milk, I can rarely find fresh milk. When I do it is about $5/liter! Boxed and powdered milk are the norm. I can hardly wait to get a milk cow so I can have all of the deliciousness!
Thank you for the great video!
powdered milk would be pretty rough for me...Good luck on the milk cow!
Wow! Love this chocolate shake recipe. I have a bad knee didn't know the extra collagen could help. Thanks for the tips.❤
You are so welcome!
Getting a dairy cow is next on my list. So many great ideas for using up the milk in your video. Thank you!
You are so welcome! Go for it...You won't regret it:)
So cool
I found your video/channel through the collab and LeAnne's playlist. Glad to meet you. Your video and editing is beautiful. I've recently moved to my homestead (it'll be 2 years this fall). I'd like to have a milk animal at some point but I'm not ready yet. Thank you for this video! I'd LOVE to be able to make my own ice cream.
Welcome!! So glad to have you in this community! I'd highly encourage a milk animal! It's my favorite part of the homestead!
I’m so excited to find your channel! I’m from SE Ohio and homesteading too! ☺️
Wonderful! Great to have Ohioans on here!
Dont hate me, but i despise ice cream. Im all for making butter though. Its probably the most usefull, versatile and necessary item to be made from milk.
Haha...each to his own:) We love butter too!
Yummy live ice cream
Milk, yogurt, butter, cheese, ice cream, they're all my favorite. Enjoyed the video. Thanks!
Amen! No need to choose just one;)
