And this is how harvesting honey before the farmer @TBone upgrade. The element of danger made it very exciting and much harder work. View quoted note →

One of our core values on our farm is 'find a better way'. We can always do a little better and sometimes we can do a LOT better. #homesteading #beekeeping

Farmer Tbone has been bringing in a bit more milk from our jersey Nina this week so I have been back into milk processing for the first time since having our baby. I have successfully turned all that milk into queso fresco, riccota, buttermilk, sweet whey, butter, yoghurt, sour cream, icecream, clabber, kifir, muscapone and heavy cream. @TBone brings in all the dairy we need and I get to turn it into all the foods we like to eat. Thats a huge level up for our homestead and I'm taking all dairy items off our grocery list.. except the fancy cheeses because life without bree is not worth living 😂 #letitbree #curdnerds #homesteading

The most difficult part of cooking silverside is remembering that Im planning to cook silverside in 3 days time.

Sourdough discard banana pancakes Recipe Combine: Some sourdough discard A banana or two Same number of eggs as bananas About that much salt Hit it with the stick blender Then add: Enough flour to give the consistency you want Cook: Preferably in burnt butter Makes: A few pancakes 🥞

Our very cute new baby. This is the first calf we have had that was both conceived and born on the farm. A significant milestone for us. #homesteading View quoted note →

Yes you can make mustard at home! Simply soak mustard seeds in vinegar or beer for 2 days at a 2:1 liquid to seeds ratio, add a little salt and hit it with the stick blender. Mustard greens are really easy to grow and as a bonus tbey act as a pest trap for the bug that like to eat broccoli and cabbage so for my southerm hemisphere friends its mustard planting time right now. Time to have a go at growing and making your own mustard. Ill be adding a little honey to this batch to sweeten it up a bit.

More than just the weed control. We added Chiva and MowMow onto the homestead over a year ago. They have been brilliant at managing weeds and maintaining their primary paddock. But so much more than that they seek out our company for pats, snacks and the occasional tethered walk around the property Nothing beats the soft nuzzles, bleated greetings, and the endless antics that turn a backyard into a comedy club. Feeling sad... Get a goat!!

Small actions make a big difference

I dont feel old and yet I have just finished reading a book on gardening from cover to cover 😳 #gardening #homesteading

As I'm settling into being a mum I have an overwhelming desire to mother at an executive level of skill and dedication. I just want to be the very best mum I can be. And every day I'm starting to suspect that motherhood is going to be a lifelong practice of letting go. I love my little guy so much and he is simply the best thing I've ever done and I want to be the best version of me for him.

Ill never get tired of hearing that 😍 View quoted note →
