I am definitely going to check out how to make cultered butter. It has become so expensive lately. Great blog. :)
Anita - way to go!! I bet you're sleeping well at night - both from being tired and from knowing you're prepared in so many things. Are you taking Wardeh's cultured dairy course? (You may have already told me in a comment). I'm loving that class but working my way through slowly since the goat's I get milk from are dry right now. But their getting ready to kid again in May and then I'll really be able to get after it!
Thanks for linking up to the Preparedness Challenge!
Wow!! I just came over from Homestead Revival and am so impressed with all you've done this week! You are on a roll! Good job!
Anita, Great job! I love our homemade granola. With our allergies that is the only way we can have safe granola. Super easy though!
You are making me crave a milk goat :)
God bless

That's awesome. I am only just at the beginning of building up my supplies.
This week we got our very first storage bucket.
I'm very impressed! That's a lot to accomplish in one week, especially because (as all moms know) there was also: meals to prepare, kids to teach, needs to meet, laundry, etc. Very inspiring!
