Getting ready for the last hatch of the year. Just more run of American Bresse chicks with the hopes of having a small flock of a couple different genetics.

This incubator from Hatching Time (not sponsored) has been running almost nonstop for a few months with chickens and ducks, now it’s coming to a close. This bad boy has been amazing with hatch rates of 90% even with my ducks! It’s also so easy to clean!

Cory and Topanga are together! I am hoping that Cory has matured enough to make some babies. He seems to be showing more interest than ever in Topanga! She will be in standing heat in a few days, so we shall see if he’s ready!

HOMEMADE COLD START RAW MILK YOGURT:

1. Sterilize your jars, whisk, bowls, and lids (I used 2 half gallon jars since I had a gallon of milk). This will make sure you are not introducing any harmful bacteria to your milk.

2. Start with COLD raw milk and 1/2 cup yogurt with LIVE cultures per 1/2 gallon of milk.

3. Pour some milk into the bowl you sanitized and add the yogurt starter. Whisk until there are no clumps of yogurt.

4. Pour the milk with the starter and the rest of your milk into your jar and place lid on the jar.

5. Put your milk in your dehydrator or instapot on the yogurt setting and let stay there for about 16 hours.

6. Once done, place in the fridge to cool.

🥛 If you want it to be thicker, then you can strain the yogurt through coffee filters or cheese cloth. The whey will strain off which you can use to jump start ferments, replace the liquid in bread recipes, or give it to your pigs for extra nutrition.

🥛 If you are wondering why the yogurt is a little yellow, it’s because the cows are grass fed and have been enjoying TONS of lovely grass.

🥛Without heating the milk up, you are able to keep all the amazing benefits of raw milk. When you heat up the milk you are killing the beneficial bacteria and nutrients through pasteurization.

Raw milk yogurt in the dehydrator doing its thing for the next 16-20 hours.
I use the cold method. Instructions coming soon.

Let’s talk ollas (clay pots used for watering gardens):

💦 Watering the garden in the south can be challenging. There are many methods to effectively watering a garden from sprinklers to drip irrigation. However, I have found a new love for getting deep watering for healthy plants. They are called ollas.

💦 Ollas are used in African countries. These pots are put directly into the soil for plants’ roots to grow towards to get water. Because the pots are made out of clay, they are porous and release water only when necessary.

💦I am able to fill the pots about once a week using rain water that I collect. My plants don’t stress about finding water instead they grow their roots towards the pots. It saves me so much time and stress of having to spend a lot of time watering.

💦 “Real” ollas can be pricy. I simply got terracotta pots (with their lids to place on top) and plugged the hole on the pot with a cork stopper. I sealed the stopper before placing in the garden. So much cheaper! It takes about 10 minutes to fill the pots each week.
