Thanks for tuning in to Fun, Fact Friday, right here on Ranch Raised! Let’s start off the first Friday in August with a product you probably were not expecting!

We are still living with inflation. Energy prices may be down a little, but still very high. The food that we love costs much more. Ground beef surged up 11% from last year. The cost of bacon jumped 9.3%. Chicken breast is up almost 24%. From the farm and ranch perspective our prices needed to go up. Our costs for raising the crops that feed our animals continue to hit new peaks.

Are you intimidated by making candy? I recommend you start with fudge! My oldest daughter loves experimenting with different flavors of fudge recipes and different toppings.

Do we have any lemon lovers out there? My husband’s favorite flavor is lemon, so my girls are always looking for lemony treats to satisfy his sweet tooth.

Boy are you in for a sweet treat this week. All year long, my girls scour the internet looking for 4-H baking ideas, which is just fine with my husband, but because he has a big sweet tooth! I guess a perk of being a girl dad is being their official test taster.
