In a world that is unsettled and scary you are a bastion of hope and calm. Your channel is so refreshing. I wish you could do a boot camp to help 90% of the family boogers who are doing it all wrong. Bless you and your wonderful family. Each one will change the world. Maybe just their little corner of it, but the world is better for your being it.

[@riverduck3]

We all need to promote Ruth Ann's videos more so that others are aware of her and her awesome ways.

[@bonniebartlow5631]

Spreading Gods word through her actions of a good Christian! How Showing people how to love others and involve children in doing/learning how to do everyday chores to help the adults of the family so we all can have more family time together. Instead of the parents doing all of the daily chores of a household leaving little free time ( for the adults to have) for the children to enjoy. Some of the Amish ‘old order’ are so worthy in todays society. God bless you and your family Ruth Ann

I find this channel absolutely delightful. While the likelihood of me ever actually making my own cheese or butter is slim to none, I watch every single episode because she is delightful to watch no matter what she is whipping up in her kitchen. And I've saved a multitude of her recipes for my own personal use as well. One of the best KZbin channels in my opinion.

[@asmith8973]

I agree with everything you said. I will never make cheese. But it was so interesting to watch. I only grow vegetables and flowers. Ruth Ann has such a calming voice.

[@45valk]

Omg, now I do love y’all. I spied a Trump bumper sticker yippee. Plus I used your canning videos for all my garden canning last season and also your salsa recipe which turned out spectacular. 😁

[@Heartofahomesteader]

Try cheesemaking! It will make you feel accomplished! And there are some cheeses that don't take quite as many steps, and you can do them small batches...

My Saturday morning treat...watching Ruthann create something wonderful! I don't plan on becoming a cheese-maker, as we do not have access to extra milk at this point. But...I absolutely love your teaching along the way! I bought some fresh butter over a year ago, and I thought it had gone "bad" and threw some of it out; when you said it could still be used for baking, I had a thump-my-head moment...of course...that makes so much sense! Also your explanation of the liquid from the butter needing to culture was super informative; I've always wondered about that and to my knowledge no one has ever explained it as you did! Thank you for showing us your garage...you are so right to count us as friends! Blessings, Marie

[@MeDebraLee1956]

What an awesome response…. I loved your “thumping my head” comment because I can S-o-o-o relate to it 😅….as I become older my “wiser” moments seem to be a s-l-o-w-e-r moment 💁‍♀️….but like you I so enjoy Ruthann’s explanations because they make much more sense! The younger seem to speak a different slang type that, not to be rude mind you, but I don’t always grasp their meaning…..thank goodness I have younger family members who can ‘translate’ for me 😉….👍

[@Wh3nth3wick3drul3]

We'd always used margarine for our butter growing up and so I switched to butter, well, it doesn't taste right after using butter. It tastes bad, spoiled to me

[@paularobinson2352]

You don't HAVE to use raw milk to make cheese. If you add calcium chloride to store bought milk you can use that instead. I thought it would be hard to do but keep in mind cavemen made cheese first.

You are such an Angel, RuthAnn! It is such a blessing for all of us watching to get a peek into your way of making your delicious, handmade food items, along with your family life. It was so sweet to see your new grand baby! I know God is smiling upon you and your family. God bless!🩷

The reminder on the bake button is genius as I have cooked a rising loaf of bread more than once. 😂

[@lindapotter5750]

MY sister stored stuff in the oven out of the way like a hot iron. Yes she baked not one, but two irons that I know of...yes, she could have used a pad of my sticky noted and a pen. I don't know about you, but other types of reminders don't do the trick for me. I've never baked anything other than a cast iron skillet. lol!

[@lorisiverson7598]

Would you ask your husband to do a short on diy cheese press an how to thermometer I loved his diy cast iron fix it has definitely been a blessing to fix mine an get that beautiful shine an non stick I was trying on my own his way definitely changed everything thank you both

[@rachellestringer]

That would be cool! A little hubs feature for us built-its lol

[@lindapotter5750]

When I was a child in fostercare, we had 5 milk cows. We had a separater and made butter to sell locally. Buttermilk for bread that sold locally and cottage cheese. The rest went to pigs, chickens, and whatever else liked it.

[@belieftransformation]

This was so great to learn all your techniques for the basics of cheese & butter. Although I was raised on a farm 50 years ago, my mom did most of these things while we were away at school, so I didn’t learn them from her. She did teach me many good skills of sewing, knitting, crocheting & baking. Blessings to all🤗🇨🇦

[@RSjoyful]

I love the way you do everything in a practical way. One popular homestead channel showed her very expensive cheese cave which I could never afford. BUT your cheese cave can work for my little homestead. It's affordable. Love you videos. ❤
