Another cute video posted by my daughter on Instagram- honestly, she has a few more coming so you could just follow there if you have it! This one shows the two baby goats we welcomed yesterday morning and how we move the moms and babies into the barn so they can bond for a few days.

And the winning names for the brother and sister twin baby sheep in the video from a few days ago are Ollie and Poppi... after some of our kids favorite soda brands!

The just past holiday season is always such a special time with family, but today I was thinking about some of the every day of the year things that remind me of special family and making sourdough is one of them. My niece gave me the starter two years ago and it is still making delicious bread and baked goods. Some of that starter has been passed on to other family members and friends who are now making their own.
Every time I make a loaf, I cover it over with the bread towels from my husband's Grandma Bessie. Grandma Bessie taught me to roll out Syrian bread on these towels years ago and using them reminds me of all the homemade recipes she shared with our family; meat pies, stuffed grape leaves, and homemade yogurt were some of our favorites!

Very fun to get involved in if you have the time... our youngest daughter loved helping take care of quadruplet baby goats for their very first hours of life!

IT'S TIME! The babies are coming! We would love to have you and your family and friends come help with the babies at the farm! We need help walking the pastures to see if anyone is in labor, cleaning baby areas, bottle feeding, and washing the babies' dishes and laundry and even help for the moms (h...

Deb, owner of Whispering Pines, has been such a blessing and wealth of information to us and our small herd. Highly recommend her expertise if you are interested in beginning a herd of either sheep or goats.

Come join us for a fun and informative event all about the ins and outs of raising baby goats and lambs!

Pine and American holly....at Christmas on the Farm on Saturday we will be doing an "herb blurb" every hour and two of the blurbs will feature these two plants. They both have a lot of great uses we will talk about, and if you have some growing in your yard, you can go home and make some products from them. (If you don't, I would also be happy to walk you to where they are growing here and you can cut some yourself!)

I bought plant based laundry detergent for several years before it occurred to me to think, "Could I just do this myself?" With some research, I realized ivy contains saponins which are natural cleansing and foaming properties and we happen to have a lot of English ivy growing up a section of our house. So, if you, too, have ivy growing that you don't spray, and want to try a batch, here is the process... collect handfuls of ivy leaves, put in a big pot, cover, and bring to a simmer like you would a tea. Let simmer on low for 15-20 minutes. When it is cool, squeeze all the leaves over the pot to get out as many saponins as possible. (Can discard the leaves or feed them to your goats.) Line up some clean quart mason jars. If you wish, into each jar, put one or two drops of essential oil to scent the detergent. I like to use tea tree, lemongrass, eucalyptus, or a combination. (I also keep cleaning and reusing the same jars and lids because the oils will scent the lids as you shake the detergent each time so you wouldn't want to try and reuse them for any food.) Then just use a funnel with a strainer over it to ladle the ivy detergent into the jars. That is it. Per load, just shake the jar to get it foaming, then pour some into the liquid dispenser area of your washer. (If you have very stained laundry, you would probably need to presoak or use a natural stain remover.) We have been using this now for a year and no complaints from anyone in the household!
