Our flock free ranges and they enjoy every moment. They give us beautiful dark yellow/orange yoked eggs and they are happy. For the past twoContinue reading “The Farm – Eggs, Chickens and Predators”

Old Houses – Homemade Vinegars
Homesteading is in my mind quite rewarding. It’s like minded thoughts and goals and like a big family. In being part of that community we learn new skills from each other which is so cool.

The Farm – revamping my veggie beds…. perhaps a little whimsical
For anyone that knows me being a tad whimsical in the garden this year might be exactly who I am. The veggie beds have always been very structured because I market garden farm.

Old Houses – Fermenting beverages
I restarted my milk kefir the last 2 days and now it’s ready to go. I had it in the fridge for a little while taking a nappie but now I want to be able to get it brewed so we can enjoy it again. Milk kefir grains are pretty forgiving and you can replaceContinue reading “Old Houses – Fermenting beverages”
