Red Oak View Farm

Red Oak View Farm We are building a farm featuring herbs, herbal products, & soap, while raising children and homeschooling. “Homestead. Homeschool. Herbs. Home.”

We bought a house with land in 2021 and have been working slowly on turning it into a farm. As of 2022, we are also first time parents trying to juggle parenthood and figuring out how farming works for us and our family. We are planning to focus on herbs that we can grow and sell, as well as using them in herbal products and soap that we will also make and sell. As our chil(dren) get older, we wil

l also be incorporating homeschooling! Join us on our journey as we navigate farm and family growth. As of July, 2023, we are officially a LLC.

Garden season is coming! We’re sitting outside working on the garden layout while kids are playing. Here’s hoping we don’t get another woodchuck deciding to take residence in the garden this year! Maybe we will even sell at the local farmers market or our (soon? To be built) farmstand if we get enough to produce.

Before and after book repair of a used textbook we bought for future use in high school. I basically used hot glue on the spine, taped some edges, and used book tape on the hinges. Do you think it looks better?

Made some yummy sourdough banana blueberry muffins tonight! Everyone loved them! Matt says it’s his favorite sourdough thing I’ve made so far and maybe i should think about selling them.

I even used the “hack” i saw someone do where to get both tins to fit in my oven, i set the one inside part of the other.

Roasting our first ever turkey together! It fit perfectly into our stainless steel roasting pan with the lid on too - no need for an oven bag! This is good news if we end up raising Jersey Giant Chickens 😊

Had to throw out some dough this morning. I had planned to attempt a sourdough cinnamon Christmas star bread. I made my dough, but then it needed to set out for 8-12 hours before baking. Well, we got busy here and after nearly 12 hours of it sitting out, I put it in the fridge to bake the next morning. That didn’t happen. Here it is 3+ days since I made the dough and as it had eggs in it, I threw it out. Sometimes, things don’t go as planned and that is okay!

I made a new batch of dough and have plans to bake tonight for a dessert. We will see how it goes this time!

If you’re still looking for some Christmas gifts 🎁, you can find our products (and others!) at the Mistletoe Market at Sparta’s Chamber of Commerce, AND at my favorite local book store - The Book Pile!!

Pictured here are some of our newer soaps, gift sets, and the most recent batch of salve I made last month. Our gift sets are ready to be gift - they can be opened, the tissue paper spread out to cover the items, then closed again. Adding your intended recipient’s name is the final touch!

We’re having a small Thanksgiving tomorrow that I made an apple pie for - as always , I’m hoping the crust fully cooked. I also attempted a rye and spelt sourdough and forgot to score it. On top of that, tonight I also made a belated birthday chocolate cake for little miss. I’ve missed baking and I (mostly) enjoyed it tonight with limited interruptions. So thankful for my little family ❤️

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
