Hello again, friends!

I would like to introduce a couple new faces around here.

Introducing R&M’s Rhinestone Cowboy. Rhinestone is a blue cream tricolor, he will be our herd buck and the start to our project. We will be focusing on raising show quality, tricolor english lops. While not 100% of the time we will be receiving tricolors from our breedings, that will be our main color goal as we continue to work on our lines here at Urban Chicks.

We took a 2-3 year hiatus from raising the english lops before we realized how much we missed this breed and the personality that comes with them. I mean who doesn’t love big puppy dog behavior? Rhinestone instantly brought that back for us. As we settled everyone in, he went on hopping about the yard and stretching his legs.

As for does, we have WLL’s You Got Lucky (Lucky). Lucky is a solid blue doe. She came to us bred along with her pal, CMM’s Patsy Cline (patsy), solid black doe.
With the UC wanting to stay small and focus on our show herd, it was important to us to bring in strong lines from the get go. Honestly, with our decision on who we brought in, we aren’t disappointed!

I hope with this new beginning into the english lop world, we will be welcomed with arms wide open. Aubrey will be showing in youth when she isn’t in sports for school and I will be showing in open to help w**d through our keepers!

Walking back into this breed definitely has its fair share of fears, but I’m walking in confidently with my head held high! If you see us, stop and say hello!

I mean, let’s get real here. Plan a is also plan b. THERE IS NO OTHER PLAN 🤪🙏🏼 We have been on a mission to build a life that we are excited for daily.

Teaching our children the ways of the land. #urbanfarm #michiganfarmer #homestead #garden #urbanchicks #farmher #goals2024 #seedstarting #soilblocking #microfarming #sourdough #homesteadcommunity #lard #pork #scratch #homecooking #slowliving

Rendering pork fat into lard is a simple process that can be done at home to create a versatile cooking fat. To begin, you will need pork fat, which can be obtained from a butcher or saved from pork trimmings. Cut the fat into small pieces or grind it to help it melt more easily. Place the fat in a heavy-bottomed pot and add a little water to prevent it from burning initially. Cook the fat slowly over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it melts completely and the water evaporates. Once the fat has melted, continue to cook until the solid bits turn golden brown and crispy. Strain the liquid fat through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean container to remove any remaining bits. Let the liquid lard cool and solidify before using or storing it in the refrigerator. Lard has a high smoke point, making it ideal for frying and sautéing. It adds a rich, savory flavor to dishes and can be used in baking to create tender and flaky pastries. Lard can also be used to grease pans, season cast iron cookware, or make homemade soap and candles. Additionally, lard can be a more economical and sustainable option compared to other cooking fats. When stored properly in an airtight container in the refrigerator, lard can last for several months. #urbanfarm #michiganfarmer #homestead #garden #urbanchicks #farmher #goals2024 #seedstarting #soilblocking #microfarming #sourdough #homesteadcommunity #lard #pork #scratch #homecooking
