49er Homestead

OK I may not be Susie homemaker but I sure do try… My adventure with raspberries has been a three-year process. I have 36T post with multiple different types of raspberries, mulberries, and blackberries. Who knew that soil type is so important and trellising them and pruning them and what time is the right time to plant If you’re a woman like me you jump in full force without even knowing what to do well I’ve learned that is not doing me any justice… I lost berries and lost money and now I’ve learned. The pH of soil is very important when planting berries, trellising berries is very important because they grow wild like other things that need to be trimmed need I say more, LOL. Take a listen Hope you guys miss me

It’s that time of year right before spring when everyone wants to get their chickens going, get down to that farm feed store and get your baby chicks starting in February here in California that’s what we’re gonna do! Want to get your eggs by May going you know

A quick and dirty how to make some farmer cheese! And the most important how to declare your Homestead super easy little bit of commentary about my life in a little break in between because I had to chase my kids down but I left it all real uncut version of my life here at the Homestead! Do you wanna make me proud there in the city I show you how to grab some raw milk from Whole Foods and make a 15 minute farmer cheese to bring to your little cocktail party and blow everyone socks off and say look at what I learned from a homesteader! FARMER CHEESE. Two quarts of raw milk cook until just before it boils. add 1/4 c of a code lemon or vinegar. Let sit then strain in cheese cloth. The less u strain the softer the cheese!
