Can you find Hershey? 🐐😂 She doesn't have horns, so her head can fit almost anywhere.
She thought this was the best way to eat the hay. Her personality is the best! If you own a lamancha, you know!

🥔 potato harvest on one section of our crop. We planted red & kennebec potatoes this year.

Hoping for more! We did have a bit of an issue with slugs in the box. Anyone else?

Last year's pigs 🐖 we saved a few shoulders to age for country hams & cure a different way for bacon🥓

Salted, hung in a fridge at 50 degrees, since January, washed & sliced.
The last picture shows 2 shoulders in the smoker to get a smoke flavor😋 and will be sliced for sandwiches.🥪

I've been a dehydrating fool over here😂 don't judge😉

We have been canning tomatoes & restocking all the things we use 🍅 related. One thing we didn't get around to doing last year was dehydrating tomatoes to use as a soup or salsa thickener. So I'm sure you can guess what I've been up to🙈🍅

15lbs of 🍅=3 1/2 cups of 🍅 powder
..definitely not enough, so more into the dehydrator 😂

Happy Monday! 🎉

Yall remember our post this past Saturday about the corn cobs? Did anyone figure out what we tried new with the cobs before feeding to the chickens?

If you guessed corn syrup, you are correct!
Why not utilize?

First, we removed the corn from the cob. Brought the cobs to a boil for 2 hours. Removed the cobs & continued to cook down the liquid til it was the constancy we wanted, add sugar, then canned.

4 bushel of corn = 8 pints

We try to limit waste going to the trash from processing any type of food, meat or veggies by giving the "waste" to our animals. In this case, our bean plants were pulled & corn was shucked, goats had a nice treat.
The chickens got to clean up the corn cobs after we tried a little something new with the cobs first.

Any ideas as to what we tried with the cobs before feeding to the animals? 😉

hint: if you bake, you may use it from time to time🤔 I know I have!

Corn! 🌽 We like to rotate our veggies with dinner from green beans to greens to corn...we have a pickie eater 🙄🙈 SO we bought 4️⃣ bushels of corn from a farmer friend (because we never have success with growing corn down here). Although I usually grow some pretty fall decorations 🙈😂

And we ended up with 36 quarts of fresh, preservative free corn!

Found a couple of yellow squash hidden & a bit bigger than we like to use fresh.

Soooo that means we slice & dehydrate for later use!

In the past, we've also pickled squash. They turn out crunchy & taste just like a bread & butter pickle 🥒

Have you dehydrated squash? I started last year, if you remember my post back then, I showed how to rehydrate it for use. I like dehydrating better than freezing the squash, plus it doesn't take up as much room.
I've also grated zucchini & dehydrated for zucchini 🍞 😋 (on the right)

Unfortunately this year, our cucumbers🥒 didn't grow well so we supported one of our farmer friends & purchased these beautiful cucumbers, 1️⃣ bushel.

We made garlic dill pickles & plain dill pickles for frying. Who doesn't like fried pickles?

32 quarts later...🙈🥒😉
