Pivot Farm

Had to jump on this trend 🤠 Stick em up!

You know who you are! What did you plant and where are you checking in from?!

We call it Pivot Farm for a reason!!! lol! . I’ve dreamed of having a tea party like this for Brooklyn her whole life, and I finally pulled it together for her 13th Birthday!! Porcelain tea cups, finger sandwiches, little treats, the whole nine yards. It was picture perfect until a freaking tornado (or what felt like one) ripped through, knocking over trees and blowing everything everywhere! We made a quick pivot, picked the whole thing up and ran for cover in the barn!! Nothing like a little excitement to spice the party up a little 🤪 The day was actually very like Brooklyn herself. Sweet perfection with a little hurricane that blows through briefly once in awhile, and then back to serenity 💗 All and all it was a beautiful way to celebrate my best girl in the whole world!! Not exactly sure how I have a 13 yr old all of the sudden (will be processing that later😭) but she is a joy that lights up our lives, and I thank God for making me her mommy!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET GIRL!!!!! . . . #farmgirlglitter #teaparty #teapartytheme #teapartyideas #teapartytime #highteaparty #hightea #teatime #sugarandspice #girlsbirthdayparty #tablescapeideas #tablescape #farmgirl #farmgirls #farmgirlstrong

Tips for homemade butter! But first SAVE this reel so you have it later! . 🧈You can use store bought or fresh raw heavy cream to make butter, from a cow or goat! . 🧈The perfect temperature for cream when making butter is about 45-50 degrees Fahrenheit. . 🧈Save your buttermilk in a mason jar in your refrigerator for other recipes like pancakes! How long it will keep will depend on the age of the cream you use. .You can also freeze it! l use an awesome silicone butter mold that makes 1/2 cup sticks with tablespoon measurements just like when you buy it from the store, and then wrap the sticks in PFOA free parchment paper. Comment BUTTER if you’d like a link to the butter mold and parchment paper! (FYI- most butter wrappers and parchment paper contain PFOA’s so it’s something to be aware of! . You can store fresh butter in the refrigerator for a week or two, or freeze extra for later. . #homestead #farmfresh #rawmilk #rawmilkrevolution #rawdairy #dairygoats #dairygoat #farmhousekitchen #homesteadcooking #recipe #diycooking #howtocook #homemade #scratchcooking #cookingfromscratch #butter

Goats Milk- What you need to know🥛. Most of the people you know that have tried goats milk, have tried the pasteurized store bought version of goats milk, which yes, tastes goaty.What they don't know, is that fresh goats milk, from well managed goats does NOT!Breed and genetics can cause it to vary, but the milk from our Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats tastes just like creamy whole cows milk (and that is coming from a huge cows milk drinker previously). Just like EVERYTHING else, the fresh version is ALWAYS better! The wonderful thing about dairy goats is that they don't take a lot of space to raise them like cows do. One of my friends has her dairy goats on 1/4 acre lot in the suburbs and it's going great! Some things we do to make sure our milk tastes amazing: 🥛Started with healthy goats with great dairy genetics (all goats are not created equal). 🥛Keep their pen and milking station clean. Damp or dirty surroundings can affect the milk. 🥛Chill it quickly - the faster you refrigerate the better.Warm milk takes on a bit more of a goaty flavor. I use it for my lattes and coffee though and it's amazing.• 🥛Run it through a filter as you are bottling it. The links to My funnel and filters I use daily are linked on my Amazon Favorites link in bio! #dairygoats #dairygoat #rawmilk #rawmilkcheese #freshdairy #smallfarm #smallfarmcharm #pnwfarm #nigeriandwarfgoats #rawmilkrevolution #rawmilkdairy #rawmilkheals #rawdairy #goatsmilk #goatmilk #goatscheese #goatfarming #goat #farmfreshmilk

Have you ever wondered what water to use for sourdough starter? First comment “water” and I will send you my link to save big on AquaTru water filtration system and filters. SALE ENDS April 3rd! I love the Glass Carafe because my water isn’t sitting in plastic, and it can be put in the refrigerator to have chilled and ready to serve!! . The quality of the water you choose will have an effect on the viability and health of your sourdough starter, as well as the results of your sourdough bakes. Choosing unsuitable water can be detrimental to the health and strength of your sourdough starter.

The chlorine, other chemicals and bacteria in tap water has the potential to harm your sourdough starter, or keep it from performing at its prime! My starter has never been as healthy as it is now that I’m using water from my AquaTru filtration system. .

Ever since Brooklyn devastatingly outgrew her magical pony Lady, we have been on the search for the perfect step up horse for her to continue showing on. Little did we know, her perfect match was right under our noses 💗 If you have never bought a horse before, I’m here to tell you the process is misery and everyone is a liar lol. Kidding but actually not. So when the possibility of buying a tried and true one, we have known for awhile, from someone we know, I couldn’t NOT do it. Hopefully this is the only horse Brooklyn will need until her baby horse Charity is ready for her! But Dazzle is going to teach this little girl all of the little detailed things, and help her grow into the rider her baby horse is going to need someday, all while having an absolute blast!!!! We are beyond excited to welcome this unbelievable horse to our farm, and are so happy to keep her in our little community of horse crazy girls!! The good ones need to be hung onto!!! Welcome DAZZLE!!!!!!! . . . #welcometothefarm #horsecrazy #horsecrazygirl #horsegirlenergy #horsegirls #horsefarm #hunterjumper #painthorse #hearthorse #farm #jumpinghorse

Comment “eggs” and I will send you the link to hatching eggs from our American Bresse flock. Currently 15% off! All of our other breeds have a waitlist but we have Bresse eggs available now if you hurry! We ship to the contiguous United States. . Known as the “Queen of all chickens, and the Chicken of Kings”, the Bresse Chicken has won the badge of “Worlds Best Tasting Chicken”! The American White Bresse (rhymes with bless) was imported from France in 2011, and is a rare breed dual purpose bird. The ultimate homestead bird, the AWB lays 300 large, cream colored eggs a year! They are heat and cold tolerant, and very easy to care for. These birds are highly sought after and we are so proud to be offering them! When grown, the white bresse will weigh on average around 6 to 7 lbs. American Bresse are known to be able during the fattening process to produce a marbling effect just like beef, when using traditional french methods of raising them, providing them access to pasture, and finishing them on organic grains and dairy products. We highly encourage you to research the rich history of this rare breed! . #homestead #growyourownfood #hobbyfarm #hobbyfarming #farmlife #farmlifebestlife #hatchingeggs #americanbresse #dualpurposechickens #meatbirds #selfsufficiency #growingfoodathome #farmfresheggs #fresheggsdaily #realfood #backyardfarm #backyardhomestead #suburbanhomestead

Follow along for more tips on growing food at home!! . Save this so you remember to put them on your spring planting list!! . Have you grown your own shelling beans? Which type is your tavorite? Last year we harvested two half gallon jars of pinto beans to store and use throughout the year! . Pinto beans are so easy to grow, harvest, and store. I highly recommend you try it! . The best part of growing beans, is you only need to buy the seed once. Once you have saved your first crop, you just save some of the dry beans to plant again next year!! You can find the link to the bean seeds I started with through the link in my bio! . #growingfood #homestead #farmstead #organicgardening #organicfood #organickitchen #farmkitchen #foodstorage #offgridliving #countryliving #backyardhomesteading #suburbanhomestead #suburbangarden

Save and share this post if you want all of the tips for growing your own food!! . I got a lot of questions about how our fence line strawberry boxes over winter, so I wanted to show you what I do this time of year with them. We do not cover them in the winter, nor do we have to water them. This time of year (early spring) I trim back any dead foliage, add a little compost, and they take off!! They are so low maintenance, I love it!! #homesteaders #farmgirlglitter #inthegardentoday #inthegarden #gardeninspiration #growingthings #growingfood #backyardgarden #backyardgardener #backyardfarming #smallgardens #smallgardenideas #smallgardenspaces #gardeninginpots #containergardening #homesteads #beginnergardener #learningtogarden #zone8b #organicgardener #organicgardens #urbangardener #suburbangardening #letitgrow

Comment “link” and I will send you the link to the Bare root Strawberries we planted a few years back. We have been so happy with them and we get fruit all the way into fall! We get a lot of questions about our strawberry boxes! We absolutely love growing them this way. Our property has lots of slugs, voles, rabbits, and other critters that make growing things in the ground difficult. Growing them off of the ground like this helps save more berries for us!!! We started ours with bare root strawberry plants I got from Amazon (linked in bio). When you plant bare root plants, make sure to dip in water first! We used good quality soil and compost, planted and left them alone! They are so easy and low maintenance! We add a bit more compost along the top once a year, but outside of that, we just enjoy the harvest! We even were able to propagate more plants this last summer using plastic baggies. I’ll be posting a video on how l do that tomorrow! #farmgirlglitter #homesteaders #growbuildraise #growingfoodathome #gardeningtips #gardentipsandtricks #gardentips #organicgrowing #growingfood #gardeningforbeginners #gardening101 #gardeningislife #gardeningwithkids #homesteadtips #homesteadlife #homesteadskills #growingfruit #growingstuff #backyardfarm #backyardfarming #learnasyougrow #onthefarm #familyfarming #selfreliance #organicgardening #organicgarden #gardensofinstagram
