lol! I’ll take that as a complement :). I love to cook. I really like it when my kids come over and ask for their favorite meals - I’m more than happy to spend the time making it!

@@mountainsidewithkenandamy I love cooking also but it is just me so I don’t do a lot of it. I want to do more canning, fermentation and also dehydration soon. But I hope to taste your ice cream someday haha

@@loganjackson1335 I think he was tired after his adventure of being a free range pig lol

@@mountainsidewithkenandamy lol he was sure out for the count haha. He was like this whole being free thing is not worth it haha 😆

😂😂😂

Thx! Love having the stock on hand and ready to go when needed - and we use it a lot! Good to know on the pectin. It probably didn't help that it was expired :l The unset jam is really good on french toast and makes really good asian chicken. Been making that about once a week since I canned the jam. :)

I like growing the microgreens - they are better for you than the full grown plant from what I understand. Lots of nutrition packed into a tiny plant! What I don't like is that its not really sustainable - Its not like I grow the plant out to full size and harvest the seeds and plant them. You have to keep buying seeds. Yes! Dandelion tea is really good. I also heard dandelion fritters are good too - I have been meaning to make those but haven't yet.

Hey Logan! Love all the comments and questions - ask away! Yes, I wanted to keep them a bit separated from the main flock for a few reasons. One to get them used to their new surroundings, another was we needed to get the quality of the eggs up. When we bought them, the yolks were light yellow and many of them had shells that were really thin. They were in a dark environment with no access to green pastures. We upped their calcium, got them some good non gmo feed, access to green grass and fresh fruits and veggies. We will probably combine the two flocks if we don't get another coop set up in another area of the mountain. We had some folks that live here that were going to get a coop but it fell through but I am still hopeful that we will have another coop further down the mountain by the cabins. :) I will make a video soon of using the cream separator using sheep milk. I'll also show how to make butter and sour cream. I have been asked to make content of making duck pot pies and I need to get on that one too!

@@mountainsidewithkenandamy I can't wait to see how you do the seperation because I have never seen that. I have only really used and worked with Cows milk. I was going to say with the amount of Chickens you have you can put some beside every cabin and they can have fresh eggs LOL. I wanted to also say I love the views that you have from your porch.

@@loganjackson1335 Cows milk is good in that you dont need a separator for it. Just put it in the fridge and the next day the cream is at the top! Sheep milk is naturally homogenized so it doesn't separate easily. lol! We sure could. Just need a few coops and electric netting and we can have several set ups around the property!

@@mountainsidewithkenandamy Amy how much butter can you get out of a gallon of cream from a sheep or can you can you even measure it like that? I learning. Lol

@@loganjackson1335 Going by memory (which mine isnt good - lol) but its a lot of steps to get to the butter. Like a gallon of whole milk, separated is maybe a pint or 2 of cream, then making the butter, drawing out the buttermilk, it was about a cup or so that we ended up with. I heard a saying a while back goes something like sheep milk for drinking, goat milk for soap making, and cow milk for butter and cheese.

Hey Logan, that was actually goat meat. I enjoy making (and eating) the sourdough too but I’m still not really good at it.

@@mountainsidewithkenandamy I have never had goat meat. I really want to learn to make sourdough. I just have to wait to I get to my next place and find a starter.

Thx! Simple ingredients - Its not toooo difficult to make - the time consuming part is making sure you keep stiring it so it doesn't stick or burn to the bottom :)

@@mountainsidewithkenandamy it looked so delicious and refreshing on a hot summer evening

@@loganjackson1335 It was! You will have to come up and visit and I'll show ya in person how we make it :)

@@mountainsidewithkenandamy I was talking to Ken last night about Cabin 5. :) I hope to maybe neighbors and a community member. :)

@@loganjackson1335 looking forward to seeing where God's leading with all this!

Thank you!

@@quailjailss Thank You! We like seeing pasture management too. Love picking up little things here and there to implement for improvements.

@@sammysmokies Maybe Amy can make a video when she does the pot pie.

It’s truly a blessing to live in such a beautiful area. After living in the city with long commutes in traffic, and working corporate for so long, we don’t take it for granted.

Thank You

He was purchased at the time of shearing and they wanted the wool on.

@@mountainsidewithkenandamy Oh ok thank you 😊

Thank you

We started them right after the HL Conference and they are ready for dinner tonight…we’re excited.

@@mountainsidewithkenandamy Awesome!!!! ❤️🌱❤️🌱❤️

They are a heritage breed called White Holland.

I understand, that’s why I try to be patient with myself when woking on it alone. Stuff will always happen.

lol! too funny - thx for watching it!

Thank you! The EF/Tunis mix produce some pretty spots for sure.

Thank You. It is truly a blessing.

Thank You! I get lot’s of practice.

Thanks, it doesn’t always go this well.
