Hey local friends! This is the class that started it all!! All the cheese making was thanks to my friend Diana Joy Miller ! She's a patient teacher with amazing information and builds the confidence to get started in your own cheese journey!
She's got a class coming up this month and none until maybe the fall, so you truly should go register now and head out next Saturday to learn something amazing that'll change your relationship with cheese!

Put in new head gates for milking the sheep when they're at the remote pasture.
It's such a joy having this kid around to sing and laugh and be playful. We had a great time and "work" was just a fun time with my pr***en son!

We have this yard that needed to be mowed down, opened it up to the goats and they could care less, they've had 2 weeks, sheep flew in and went to work.
Sheep graze and goats forage, sure they both do both, but clearly sheep are far more interested in the grass and goats handle the trees and bushes.

It's peaceful in moments, but definitely not all the time and NEVER one full day of peace 😂

What do your Sundays look like?
Mine has been deemed "Farm chore Sundays" for a while now.
Today was a bit different than the regular clean the stalls sort of Sunday. Because Kelly Morgan our super Star barn.mucker got everything done yesterday, I was able to focus on other things needing to be done.
First we started the day, the hot hot day, out helping Winter-Dawn Lee at Dragonfly Flower Farm doing planting and irrigation, oh and a little w**d whacking for the complaining pre teen.
After that I needed to install some fans in the sheep houses, summer time needs fans to keep houses less smelly, keep the flies away and keep the sheep from over heating . I filled some waters, and replaced the hay feeder out at the remote pasture.
Then back home to finish up the chicken house so the chicks could sleep in the palace, now that it's warm enough and they're mostly feathered. We named a few of them FINALLY, although I have been weary because some of them are certainly roosters we won't be keeping.
We moved the ducklings out to join the older flock, having to separate the turkeys when doing so, they protect the flock against any new comers 🙄 it was great to see the babies fit right in with the flock and get to enjoy a larger yard.
7 sheep feed bags needed to get to the milking room, and after paying him in popsicles, the pr***en did that job for me 🎉
It was busy busy busy today and extra hot, but such a fulfilling day on the farm.

How many roosters can you see?

Today we said goodbye to some very sweet ducks. Fatty McFattersons has been our sweet girl for 5 years and a little over a year ago she was injured, we nursed her back and she happily hobbled around with the flock for so long. A couple days ago, she no longer could get up 😔
Puff Head duckling sad sad girl has been struggling her whole life to walk and run and keep up with her sister's, only to fall over and not able to get up, neurological issues were assumed until we got a closer look today and she has no ears 😭 there's no life for her and she was struggling every day.
Part of farm life is death, and I lack the ability to do these things myself, so I'm lucky enough to have friends that came to help.
My heart is heavy, but I feel relieved to not have animals struggling so badly.
If you see Leonidas, give him a hug, he loves his birds like they're his babies.

🐑 Holy Sheep, We Did It Again! 🐑
Move over, cow’s milk—there’s a new G.O.A.T. (well, sheep) in town.
We just spun up a fresh batch of our Sheep’s Whey Ricotta, and let’s just say... it’s dangerously good. If you’ve only ever had the store-bought stuff, prepare to have your mind blown.
Why Sheep’s Whey? 🤔
Unlike regular ricotta, sheep’s whey gives this cheese a naturally sweeter, richer, and incredibly velvety texture. It’s light, fluffy, and basically tastes like a cloud made of dairy heaven.
3 Ways to Devour It Tonight:
The Purist: Slathered on warm, crusty bread with a drizzle of local honey and a pinch of flaky sea salt. 🍯
The Chef: Dolloped on top of your favorite pasta right before serving. 🍝
The Sweet Tooth: Whipped with a little lemon zest and fresh berries for the ultimate guilt-free dessert. 🍓
Fun Farm Fact: Ricotta actually means "re-cooked." We take the nutritious whey left over from our sheep's milk cheesemaking process and heat it up again to create these delicate curds. Zero waste, maximum deliciousness!
Quantities are super limited (our ewes work hard, but they can only make so much!).
