🧇 Fresh-Milled Farmhouse Waffles 🤎

There’s something about a warm waffle breakfast (or lunch or dinner 🤷‍♀️🥳) that makes a chilly fall morning feel extra special.

We made these yesterday with our freshly milled hard white wheat, farm-fresh eggs, milk, vanilla, and melted butter. The kitchen smelled wonderful, and they were so good I knew I had to share the recipe!

Here’s what you’ll need:

🌾 560g fresh-milled wheat flour - we used hard white
🥄 2 tsp baking soda
🥄 4 tsp cream of tartar
🧂 1 teaspoon salt
🍯 2-3 tablespoon sugar
🥛 4 cups milk
🥚 4 eggs
🤎 3 teaspoon vanilla (or almond 😍)
🧈 8 tablespoons melted butter

To make them:

Whisk the dry. Whisk the wet. Combine and let sit for 10-15 min. Then bake in your pre-heated waffle iron until golden and crisp.

Serve warm with butter and maple syrup—or whatever your family loves best.

A simple breakfast, fresh-milled goodness, and everyone gathering around the table. That’s my kind of morning. 🌿

Tell me: are you a butter-and-maple-syrup waffle family, or do you pile on the fruit, whipped cream, and all the extras? 😂🤎



I would’ve shared a picture of the finished waffles, but the kids beat me to it. 😂 So you’ll just have to trust me on this one!

🍂 A little of this, a little of that… life around Bybee Mountain Farm. 🤎

We’ve been a little quiet lately, but there’s been plenty happening behind the scenes as we settle into the colder months.

🐄 We’ve paused sharing milk with our community for now. Aggie is giving us just enough for our own family’s dairy and to keep our farm kitchen and animals supplied, so we’re letting this season be what it is.

And we have a little hope on the horizon! Aggie showed some pretty convincing signs of heat today, and our AI tech was able to stop by. We’re praying for a healthy Jersey calf next July. 🤎

🐖 We brought home two kunekune piglets yesterday! One will hopefully be bred with our Lolly next year, adding another little chapter to our plans for delicious pork and piglets for other homesteads.

🌱 The garden planning has begun, and three of many 8×4 raised beds are built—well, two of the kiddos did most of the building for me! 😂 Next comes fencing, then letting the pigs work their magic on the new garden patch over the coming months.

Around the rest of the farm, paddocks are cleared, the milking area is cleaned and reorganized, hay is tucked under tarps, and more is on the way. We’re planning for meat birds next spring, too.

Meanwhile, the farmhouse kitchen has been busy with fresh-milled bread, waffles, and meals made with the last of the garden vegetables before freezing weather settles in. I have a waffle recipe to share because today’s batch was so good.

And inside? We’re trading summer for candlelight, cozy blankets, soft pillows, porch candles, and evenings around the fire pit. There’s something lovely about making home ready for the slower months ahead. 🕯️🍂

Farming is a lot of work that nobody sees right away. Some seasons are for gathering, and some are for getting ready for what comes next.

What are you preparing for this fall—garden plans, winter projects, or simply making home a little cozier? 🤎

🥚 A little collection from the youngest farmer this morning. 🤎

There’s just something about a basket of eggs gathered from the chickens that makes a farm kitchen feel like home. The colors are so pretty!

Some mornings, it’s the little things ❤️🌿🐔

What’s something small from your day that always makes you happy? 👇

There’s a funny thing about farming…

Sometimes the season you have the least to offer is the season people seem to find you. 😂🤎

The last few days have brought a little wave of new faces here at Bybee Mountain Farm, and I just want to say welcome! 🌿

You’ve arrived at a slightly unusual time. Our girls are resting up for their winter babies, which means there won’t be much milk or butter coming out of the farmhouse kitchen for a little while.

But there’s still plenty happening around here.

There are cows to care for, pigs to feed, a puppy causing trouble, schoolwork at the kitchen table, bread to bake, cheese to learn how to make, gardens to prep, and a whole lot of fall cleanup (and hay hoarding!) happening behind the scenes.

So stick around. 🤎

You may not get a jar of butter today… but you’ll probably get to watch me figure out how to make something delicious tomorrow. 😂

Welcome to the farm.🥳

🧈 Well… apparently we can’t make butter fast enough around here. 😂

Our farmhouse butter sells out faster than we can churn the next batch.

But our cultured butter? That one disappears even faster. 😳😂

Fresh cream + our farmhouse yogurt, slowly cultured, churned into rich, creamy, slightly tangy butter… and apparently y’all are NOT letting it hang around long.

I guess I better keep churning. 🐄🧈🤎

Thank you for loving our little farmhouse goodies!

🍂 A little fall update from Bybee Mountain Farm… 🤎

Fall is creeping in around here, even if East Tennessee is still bringing the heat! We’re enjoying those cool mornings and slowly preparing for the months ahead.

🐖 Lolly is officially settled onto fresh grass with plenty of roots to dig. ❤️

🐄 We’ve dried off two of our girls as we prepare for calving, leaving us with just one girl in milk for now. Our milk supply has dropped considerably in the heat, so we decided it was the right time to let the girls rest.

Our empty stanchion is a little bittersweet. We’ll give it a good scrub and enjoy knowing it won’t stay empty forever. 🤎

Meanwhile, we keep testing our milk multiple times a week… and we’re still passing with flying colors 🥳❤️ We love knowing our milk is not only delicious (per the pets, ofcourse) but it also tests clean.

🐕 Annie is still ridiculously cute… although her sharp baby teeth and repeated adventures into the chicken coop are keeping us on our toes. She even had a run-in with a turkey. 😩😂

🧀 I’m also venturing into hard cheeses and will soon be attempting a farmhouse cheddar!

And in the farmhouse kitchen, I’m already dreaming about buttery pan-fried cinnamon apples over creamy yogurt. 🍎🤎

Things are slowing down, but there’s still plenty happening around here. Thank you for following along through every season of farm life. 🌿🐄🍂

🍂 A little farmhouse goodness for this week… 🤎

As we slowly settle into fall and our girls move closer to calving, we’re keeping things simple:

🥛 Fresh milk — $15/gallon
🥛 Fresh cream — $12 / 12 oz
🍶 Plain farmhouse yogurt — $9/ 16 oz
🍁 Maple vanilla yogurt — $12 / 16 oz
🧈 Salted farmhouse butter — $20 / 10 oz in glass jar
🌿 Cultured butter — $22 / 10 oz in glass jar

Our glass butter jars require either a jar exchange or a nonrefundable deposit, and we kindly ask that returned jars come back clean and ready for their next batch. 🤎

As calving season approaches, our milk supply will continue to slow and availability will become a little more limited over the coming weeks. If Tuesday pickup works better for you, send us a message—we can move some orders to Tuesday for those who are interested.

We’re grateful for every gallon, jar, and pat of butter we get to share with our neighbors and friends. Thank you for supporting our little family farm through every season. 🌿🐄🍂

🎂 Proud mom moment! 🦖🤎

Our oldest daughter, 12, made this amazing birthday cake completely from scratch (except for the dinosaurs 😉) for our birthday boy!

So proud of her, so happy to celebrate him, and very much looking forward to digging in! 😂🎉🎂
