I love your videos. You always say how you’re not very educated. My dear you are an amazing source of knowledge. You should never say such things about yourself. To me and all your viewers you are very educated and full of wisdom. I’m not in a position to do 1/10 of what you do but I sure enjoy your videos and have learned a ton from you. So thank you. When I have your videos on I feel like I’m visiting with an old dear friend. May God continue to bless you and your beautiful family. I am looking forward to your next video. ❤😊 I have had you and your family in my prayers this past week with all the tornado’s hitting Iowa and neighboring states. Stay safe my friend.

Dear Ruth, I wanted to reach out to thank you. My name is Linda Kosarski and I am the winner for the Bosch mixer and Dehydrator. I have never won anything and I am so excited to get these. I am 82 and I still like to can food and cook. I have made many of your recipes and when the mixer comes, first thing is your cinnamon rolls and bread. I don’t put icing on my cinnamon rolls. What I do is put butter in a sauce pan with brown sugar and just a little cinnamon and also some chopped nuts. I bring to boil for minute and then I spoon it over the top of cinnamon rolls.

Now at nearly 50 I have spent the last several years gleaning knowledge from older family members. I am so thankful for you as a source of information and education. I also enjoy your family dynamic which is also so much like my childhood. Thanks again and blessings to you and your family.

I remember when growing up getting a gallon a weekbb by of milk. When a neighbor farmer said he had extra milk from his cows and told my mom if she brought gallon jugs to put it in she could have 2 gallons a day. We were overwhelmed. Us kids were allowed milk with everything. We started making our own butter. My mother was from the city and we didn’t know anything else. This was in the 70’s. I sure wish I knew how to have made more. We moved away a year later . Sure missed all that.

I look forward to every video you post. Anything you buy off your farm needs to have tax added as part of the calculation. Each dollar spent has had tax paid o it. Really looking forward to trying this with store bought milk (my only option). I hVe read so may companies even add chemicals to ricotta cheese. The only brand I can find without is $6 here in Ontario. Do you know of a good source for the citric acid or renit?

Hello 👋 again sweet friend. Another great recipe you've shared today and more great tips too. Thank you thank you thank you. I've been busy this past week and weekend getting my plants in my pots and I went yesterday to my daughter's house and helped her transplant her plants as well. I've FINALLY got her interested in growing her own food. Well I started with a couple plants this year so she don't get overwhelmed but I just want to thank you for all the knowledge you've shared on your channel. My daughter and I have decided to try to find some land and house big enough for all of us or land with two homes in it or I'd accessable for two homes so we can live more frugal and not have to participate in the system as much as it's just become evil from all angles. So sad but true. Anyways I thank you for a big part of this inspiration. IDK if it will be a year. It may take longer but at least we have our end goal figured out. God will provide a way no matter what happens this I do know. Love you guys and sending hugs and good vibes from VA/TN. Can't wait for next weeks video. God Bless
