Unpopular opinion: dry canning potatoes is safe and taste 1,000 times better than ones canned in water. If it’s good enough of the Amish and Mennonites, it’s good enough for me.

Here is the first round of taters are soaking to help remove some of the starch. After a good overnight soaking, they will be canned into 15 quart jars.

When dry canning, you have to scrub off ALL the dirt from the potatoes before soaking for 24 hours. In the jar, you place about a tablespoon of ghee, a little salt and paper.

Rounds 2 to follow soon.

Comfrey cut and put on drying racks. Once dried, I’ll infuse the leaves in oil to make comfrey salve. Comfrey salve is excellent for aching joints and healing bruises/minor wounds.

Let me know if this is something that you might be interested in or if there is something g else you would like to see!

I love volunteers in the garden! I have 2 varieties volunteered and I’m just letting them grow!

Processing day for rabbits. Not a fun day but necessary. They are a powerhouse on the homestead, producing the most meat in the shortest amount of time with little cost.

American Bresse eggs in the incubator with hatch day of June 14th! So excited to try this breed out!

After thinking nothing would hatch, it just took a few hours for 32 chicken nuggets to hatch! Last round of meat birds for the year.
These nuggets are a mix of bielefelder and other heritage breeds. Even though they are not as big as the meat birds from the hatchery, these cost me nothing since they were eggs from my chickens. Also, they forage really well
They will be ready for processing in about 16 weeks with each bird weighing between 2-3 pounds after dispatching and cleaning.

Store bought supplement blends are not always what they seem, so I make my own to ensure it’s exactly what I want/need.

Potatoes are here. Three out of the four did pretty well. A total of 73 pounds🤩

There were 5 pounds planted of each with 3 out of the 4 yielding 20-21 pounds each. The 4th kind only yielded 11 pounds. Either way, I’m super pumped!
