Homemade Ice Cream + Peach Butter = Summer Perfection

There’s something extra special about a scoop of homemade ice cream on a hot summer day—especially when it’s made with real, simple ingredients right from your own kitchen. 💛

We’re sharing our favorite vanilla ice cream recipe that’s sweet, creamy, and oh-so-easy. And if you want to take it up a notch? Try it with a spoonful of peach butter on top. It’s one of our absolute favorite summer combos!

Both recipes are up on the blog now:
📌 From-scratch vanilla ice cream - https://fruitfulfarmstead.com/2025/07/03/homemade-vanilla-ice-cream-a-sweet-summer-staple/
📌 Easy peach butter (plus how we can it!) - https://fruitfulfarmstead.com/2025/07/03/homemade-peach-butter-with-canning-instructions/

Whether you’re hosting a backyard get-together or just treating yourself after a long day outside, this is one you’ll want to save and make again and again.

👇 Let us know if you’ve made your own ice cream or fruit butter before—we’d love to hear how you serve it up!

There’s something timeless about homemade ice cream—simple, creamy, and just sweet enough to bring a little joy to any summer day. Whether it’s scooped into cones for sticky-fingered kids or served…

Sun-warmed blackberries, stained fingers, and mountain views — this is what summer is all about.

There’s something deeply grounding about harvesting what the land offers, especially when it’s framed by a view like this. Nature provides, and we’re just blessed enough to be here for the season.

What’s ripening in your neck of the woods?

Sneak Peek! 🍑🍨
Just a little taste of what’s coming this week — homemade vanilla ice cream topped with juicy fresh peaches and a swirl of my homemade peach butter. Summer in a bowl!
Stay tuned for the recipes — I’ll be sharing how to make both the ice cream and the peach butter from scratch. You won’t want to miss it! 💛

This week at Fruitful Farmstead, we wrapped up a big (literally!) milestone — processing our Cornish Cross meat birds that have been living their best lives out on pasture. These birds thrived in the sunshine, on fresh grass, and with plenty of room to roam and forage.

We’re excited to say many of them weighed in at over 10 pounds each — healthy, happy birds that will now feed our family and community with wholesome, responsibly raised meat.

Raising animals this way takes work, but it’s worth every bit of effort to know they lived a good life and were treated with respect from beginning to end.

Thanks for following our journey! If you're curious about our process or thinking about raising your own meat birds, we’re always happy to share what we’ve learned and have blog posts we’ll link!
