Vanilla Bean Panna Cotta with Huckleberry Preserves
Its not easy getting up at the crack of dawn every single day to milk a cow. Nor is it exceptionally fun to be milking in the heat of summer or the dead of winter when everyone else is curled up with a blanket and a cocktail next to the fire place. But man is…
Homemade Twinkies
Let me first just say that this recipe is not my typical “whole foods” type recipe. Twinkies of any sorts are not a everyday food. These are not healthy nor are they Paleo. However, they are a much better alternative to store bought and are really no worse for you then a homemade cupcake. Growing…

Homemade Healing Toothpaste
Lets talk toothpaste, shall we!. Boring? NO! Come on, lets face it, we all use it and we all need it. The problem is, that commercial toothpaste is loaded with toxins and carcinogenics.

Setting emotional boundaries on the Homestead
As a farmer, I often get asked how it is that I can raise, kill and eat my own animals, especially when I have raised them from babies. How do you set emotional boundaries? Don’t you get attached to them? The truth is, I’m a animal lover. That’s how I CAN raise them, kill them and eat them. I…
Essential Oils on the Farm
Essential oils are everywhere right now! And for good reason. Essential oils have been around since Bible times. 36 of the 39 books in the Old Testament and 10 in the 27 books of the New Testament mention the use of EO’s as medicine provided by God himself. “Oil” is versed in the Bible 191 times. 54…

15 minute Strawberry Jam
Yippee… Its strawberry season here in the Pacific Northwest!. While my strawberry patch isn’t quite big enough to put up enough jam for the winter, it is big enough to stuff your face while pulling weeds. Each year the kids and I load up and go strawberry picking at the local “pick your own” farm.
