One little burrow guard keeping watch while the rest of the crew handles supper. 🐇🌿

These bunnies sure know how to make themselves right at home around the homestead. Watching them grow, explore, and pile in around the feed never gets old.

The newest little additions to the homestead have arrived! 🐣

A whole batch of baby jumbo coturnix quail hatched today, and they’re already keeping the incubator busy. Tiny feet, loud peeps, and plenty of personality packed into some very small birds.

We’re thankful for another successful hatch and excited to watch these little ones grow!

Homestead security team receiving routine maintenance. 😂

Our Anatolian takes guarding the animals seriously, but apparently belly rubs and a good brushing are part of the employee benefits package. The kids are always eager to help—and judging by that grin, he has no complaints.

Made some homemade yogurt with homemade vanilla and pure maple syrup. None of that corn syrup stuff. Goes great with granola.

- 1 gallon milk in pot -> 180F then immediately cut heat.
- Cool milk -> 110F-115F and add yogurt culture. Can be store bought yogurt if it has ACTIVE CULTURES. Mix a little bit of warm milk and yogurt starter in separate dish.
- Mix yogurt starter in dish with warm milk in the pot.
- Incubate at around 110F for about 8hrs.
- After ~8hrs pull yogurt pot and place in fridge to set overnight (or 4-8hrs). DO NOT MIX IN FLAVORING YET!
- Once yogurt is set, test taste/smell/look and add flavoring.

- 4 teaspoons of vanilla
- 1 cup pure maple syrup

NO ADDED SUGAR NEEDED. Of course flavor to your liking though.
