A Typical Day Off Work In The Kitchen and On The Farm

Spend the day with Ben and I as I prep bread and egg salad for lunch, make vegetable soup for dinner, and move and separate the cows into the lot for winter.

Thank you for joining us on our journey as we restore our forever farmhouse and begin our homestead!
DISCLAIMER: Some links may be affiliate links meaning I make a small percentage of qualifying sales at no extra charge to you.
DISCLAIMER: My husband and I recently bought a neglected 34-acre farm with several barns, buildings, and a two-story farmhouse. Our plans are to restore the farm and farmhouse to its former glory all while adding our own individual style and design. We decided to vlog the entire renovation process for our own personal records and for future generations. We are in no way experts in renovating nor do we claim to be professionals. All Lewis Acres Homestead videos are for entertainment purposes only. We recommend you always consult professional experts when completing any home renovations and wear proper protective gear.
I am not a professional I am only sharing what I have learned and my opinion.

That clear pot that you put in the island cabinet you can use that to do a potpourri pot on the stove

[@lisaangstadt-wysocki3809]

You and your husband are building a wonderful foundation and marriage, not to mention a beautiful life. Thank you for sharing. I love that you are both so grounded to the earth and old way of life.

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you so much! That means a lot to us.

I have never known a couple your ages that are so mature and appreciate the vintage quality of items. I am that way now and I would say I was in my 50's before I stopped buying cheaply made new junk. There are a few items that are okay but most won't last a year! I enjoy your videos so much. I think you are the channel that is from Licking Co. OHIO? I sub to so many homesteads I get confused! I am a new sub of your channel. I have watched all your videos and cannot wait for more. Do you have the upstairs filmed? I think I only saw your yard(s) and the first floor. Thanks. Nancy from Heath, OH

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

I love all things old! I’m so glad you enjoy them! We are in Eastern Kentucky. I am the same way. It’s so hard to keep track of each of the channels. Thank you so much for subscribing! In my earlier videos I share the upstairs of the house.

[@rhondapolanco7194]

Its called "pop! fly trap" and you get it from tractor supply, it works on our fly issue

[@tsilbaugh5314]

I’m glad meals are a special time in your home. It should be for more people. Such a great time to visit and really be in touch with each other! You two are sure a great team!! Be proud of what you have gotten done!

[@karenbrewer5864]

We just had a new clutch put in our tractor and some type of cable. It was pretty expensive. People don’t realize how much money it cost to farm. You’ve got me wanting to make bread and egg salad. 😊

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

They really don’t. We dread seeing the bill, lol!

[@Casaaventura]

I just found your channel , it's just me and my husband right now and we are looking to getting some farmland and starting a homestead❤

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Hopefully you find some soon! That is so exciting!

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

I used to make bread all the time.i love it! Looks beautiful!

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you!

[@lynsmith2698]

Hi there. I just found your channel today. I am enjoying your videos and it warms my heart to see young folks like your self living the way y,ou do, we are retired now and just bought 70: acres of land, I am so excited for our next stage in life. Thank you for your channel, 🇨🇦🌷

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Hi! 👋🏼 I’m so glad you enjoy it! Congrats on buying 70 acres, that is amazing! Thanks for watching! ❤️

[@maegardnermills4292]

1st time viewer. I subscribed. Great video. I would like it to be louder. I got it open all the way, and I don't have a hearing condition. My husband can't hear you. You have a lovely voice. Thank you for being on. We live nearer the Alabama , on the Tennessee side. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thanks for subscribing! I’m sorry about the sound. I will have to look into it.

[@tammyfromohio1095]

Your kitchen looks beautiful! I love your canned goods in the cabinet!

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@sheilamashburn1795]

I very much in you your videos. You are creating a beautiful home and a sustainable lifestyle. Until next time, God bless you ❤

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@kimlee5811]

You make it look so easy. I know living on a farm is hard, but seems that you and Ben are making it work. Your bread looks so good.

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

It is definitely tough work! Thank you! ❤️

[@cindyg5969]

I have frozen raw egg yokes and whites separately and used them for custard and meringue later on and it’s worked fine. I will have two ziplocks on the go and keep track of the number in each with a sharpie. Eton Mess or trifle are good and affordable desserts to use them up.

[@poodlegirl55]

Thanks for sharing your day. I tried some of the Meal in a jar recipes in the Ball canning book and we really liked Beef Stroganoff and Beef stew. I wanted some emergency meals put ahead but I seem to be using them up for lazy meals! I haven't used any of my canned tomatoes yet because I also froze a bunch at the end of the year and want to use them up first. Summer lasted a long time here in South Central Illinois and it has been warm so far.

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

I would like to can some meals in a jar this year. I’ve actually never done any before. I am so glad I canned so many tomato products because we are going through so many lately.

[@hildamclawhorm6305]

So happy to see your video today🤗🤗🤗the bread turned out beautifully

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you so much! 🤗

[@HHteach2001]

I just love your kitchen. So beautiful!

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you so much!

[@stevegordon5243]

Great video! The bread and soup look delicious! Ben's knife sharpener looks like it would do a great job also

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you! He loves it! He has been sharpening knives for everyone, lol.

[@daphblue]

Aw, I have the same copper watering can :)

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Really?! How cool!

[@MiaBellaLuna-zz2xv]

Thank you for sharing… I would like to know if you have made a video re. the kitchen sink. I think you said that it belonged to Ben’s grandmother. I’d be interested in seeing the process of how it was installed onto the table. All the best with your future projects.

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Yes, it was Ben’s great grandparents sink. We didn’t. Ben built the sink base last winter when I was sick and he didn’t film the process. He built the outer part of the base that you can see, doubled braced it underneath since it’s so heavy, and the sink is secured to it. I hope that makes sense.

[@rubyjones679]

❤ great video as usual 😊

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you!! 😊

[@bn3565]

I love your videos! Much love from Germany to Kentucky

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoy them. ❤️

[@karendaniel8149]

Perfectly cooked eggs! I always overcook mine a little bit, discoloring the yolks. How many minutes do you boil yours? We ended up never using our water glassed eggs because our chickens never stopped laying either. I ended up scrambling them and feeding them back to the chickens. I did try freezing some. I heard they were great for baked goods - this turned out not to be true for me. I ruined a cake with them that I was baking for a Christmas gathering. They did turn out to work fine to use as poached or fried eggs though.

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

I boil mine for 12 minutes and they come out perfect every time. I will have to get creative and figure out how to use up all our water glassed eggs because I refuse to let them go to waste, lol!

[@JamieLC82]

Would you do grocery haul videos? I would like to see how you shop with a homestead. We have a homestead and this year my goal is to not buy as much from the grocery stores.

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Great idea! I will add a grocery haul to my list of video ideas!

[@crisunderwood9156]

Why do you wash your eggs? If you don't wash the bloom off them you can store them on the counter and they'll last longer. Just curious.

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

We only wash them because we sell them. Usually they have some chicken poop or dirt on them and if they’re dirty people won’t buy them.

[@samanthaschlegel1863]

Great video i have just found you. I have a glass loaf pan and i have a trouble getting the bread out as it stuck. I decided to use it for meat loaf instead. Being English we call it a tea kettle rather than pot. We dont really can as a nation but there are some who have homesteads do. Im looking at canning meals and meat. It will help having many disabilities. I would love a digital electric canner but i cant get it imported here. Im too afraid to use a pressure canner. Fear due too a gas explosion in a campervan. The instant pot here does can but it only takes pints 4 at a time. There is my son and me. Would a pint of chicken or mince be enough for 2? Sam uk

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Hi! 👋🏼 Thank you so much for watching! Typically when canning meat you can fit 1 pound of meat in pint jars. It is just my husband and I and anytime I can meat I can it in pint jars. 1 pound is usually plenty for us.

[@JennBenn99]

What kind of plant is that.?

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

It is a Fiddle-leaf fig tree.

[@lauriehorn6096]

Great video!!!

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you!!

[@kady5398]

I really love your videos showing the farm life.

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Glad you enjoy it! 😊
