"Love what you do and do what you love". Wonderful and informative videos. You are a blessing to your family and viewers. 😊

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

Thank you so much!!!! ❤️ I really appreciate that 😀

My grandmother made everything from scratch. My mother hated cooking and baking ( she was the oldest and there were 8 kids in her family.) My father taught me gardening and baking and our ethnic cuisine. I love my kitchen time because I'm connected to those generations of women who did this.

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

That’s amazing. I totally feel that too. I didn’t get to grow up around my grandparents, but I wish I could have learned from them. My mom was an excellent homemaker and taught me a lot, but especially the love for homemaking 😊

[@juststoppingby390]

I live on a country where homestead life isn't a thing and I watch lots of homesteading women here. I notice how a lot wear similar clothes to Thier pioneer counterparts. The apron the skirts Tue little boots. I absolutely LOVE it so feminine so welcoming so practical I think you all loo stunningly womanly. I'm a momma of grown kids and my old village home now has a big garden .... Guess who's sewing herself some skirts and aprons xxx

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

Oh, I absolutely love that!! I didn’t always dress this way, but I decided last year that I wanted to challenge myself to only wear dresses, except when I have to do rugged farm work! I have found it to be so comfortable, feminine, and womanly! As a child I loved to wear dresses, and I hated to wear jeans. I’m finding that to still be true now! I have sewn many of my skirts, and even some dresses. It’s very rewarding! ❤️

[@juststoppingby390]

@@thefarmerswifecanada so lovely to hear. And as women to find a life we are comfortable being ourselves in is such a freedom

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

@@juststoppingby390 Yes, so true!

[@Pursuit_Of_A_Homestead]

I have no clue why, but watching people make cheese is soooo satisfying to me 😂😂 Oooh and the view you have by the laundry line is sooo stunning 😍

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

Thank you!! ❤️

[@celticlassie]

Cheese curds are amazing, especially fresh. My family makes what we call a Turkey dinner (or chicken) poutine. Basically roast Turkey/chicken, stuffing, cranberry sauce with curds and gravy served over fries. It’s so good.

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

Oh that sounds SO GOOD! I will have to try that! Yum!

[@robertaaOHIO]

So nice, Suzanne. I've never had cheese curds, but it's awesome to see part of the process and the finished result. I can only imagine how delicious they are. Maybe sometime you can share with us how you prepare them in dishes. It's so great to live a peaceful life working toward self-sufficiency. I have that to a certain degree, and I wouldn't change a thing. Have a great week, thank you for the lovely video. I always feel like I've had a visit with you ❤.

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

Thanks Roberta! The cheese curds were ok that night, but they were better the next day. They needed time to sit. My husband told me that the cheese curds in Quebec are never refrigerated. They need to be eaten fresh, and if they go in the fridge, they loose their squeaky-ness. I’m so glad I can play around without actually owning a dairy cow! Have a great day!! ❤️

[@terrihutto6623]

I am so happy for you making cheese!!! This is on my bucket list to do. God Bless you and your family

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

Thank you Terri!!! ❤️ I’m so excited about it!! I’m starting a batch of Fromage Blanc this morning… similar to goat cheese, but with cows milk!

[@samaholderfield1518]

I'm so glad I found your videos 😊

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

Yay! Happy you found me 😀

[@jenniferholter7610]

❤I feel the same way about homemaking 🩷

[@susiewalker1254]

I live in the city but I also do on line grocery shopping but for a different reason. It saves me money, no buying extra stuff just cause it looks good, it keeps me on budget.

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

Yes, that’s what I was thinking too. I love that you can see the total $ while you are adding items to your cart. That way you stay in budget. You also aren’t distracted by all the shiny objects!!! 😂

[@Kazacks9602]

I am inspired to have a go myself. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

Awesome! So cool to connect with someone from across the world 🌎

[@maryluepke8608]

Good morning from Minnesota! I also live on a farm. We plant corn and soybeans. I started making yogurt about a year ago and love it. So much better than store bought! You sure live in a beautiful part of the world! I enjoy your channel! Have a great day❤

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

Hello! So glad to hear from you! 🌷 Yes, now that I’m making the homemade yogurt, I don’t think I’d ever go back to store bought. So much better. Have a great day on your farm!

[@MessinAround415]

I love sqeekey cheese.. love watching you in the garden. Sure wish my weeds and stuff came out as easy as yours. I have Ohio clay soil..😂 Have a great day!❤

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

It’s always easier after it rains (pulling weeds). We’ve had some heavy rain over the past week, and I’m trying to get all the biggest weeds out in a hurry, before the ground dries up. Then it’s much harder!! We have some areas of clay as well. But luckily not all of it. Have a great day! ❤️

[@amystiles3284]

Oohhh! My husband and I discovered poutine a few summers ago and we absolutely love it! We live south of you in Washington state. We have also traveled to the Revelstoke area. You live in a beautiful part of Canada.😊

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

Yes, poutine is sooo good! So cool that you’ve been up this way. Revelstoke was beautiful. The only downside was that a lot of the restaurants and stores were closed. I asked someone why. It’s because it’s the off season. They only open during tourist seasons. We still had a fabulous trip!

[@terrihutto6623]

Awesome!

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

Thanks! ❤

[@sharonbrown2352]

I know nothing about cheese making, looking forward to learning

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

It’s very eye opening. So many things that we can make so easily at home. Definitely more to come!

[@nancyhaywood6486]

i love to make ricotto, i have made yogurt and mozorella but not on a regular basis. need to get back into it, nut my energy is running very low and have arthritis very bad. i do really enjoy your relaxing videos.

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

Sorry to hear about your arthritis. I would imagine tipping the pot would be difficult. I hope you can do it again! Such a rewarding thing to do. 😀 So glad you are enjoying my videos ❤️

I always dry my washing outside if it's not raining it smells so much better

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

Aww, thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@faithandbulletjournals]

Wow! I really am enjoying your channel! Thank you for sharing with us ❤

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@angelikab.9431]

Ich bin auf deinen Kanal gestoßen, weil du auf dem Kanal "The modern day cottage" kommentiert hast. Da ich selbst "Homemaker" ❤ bin, interessieren mich solche Kanäle sehr, wo ich wieder einiges dazulernen kann. Ausser Joghurt und Frischkäse habe ich noch nichts in der Käseherstellung probiert. Da freue ich mich schon auf weitere Ausführungen von dir. Deine Erzählungen bei deinen Videos finde ich sehr interessant und kurzweilig ❤ Liebe Grüße aus Österreich, Angelika

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

Thank you! I’m so glad you found my channel! I have been trying out some different cheeses. Can’t wait to share more ❤

[@dianafarley4342]

You have become one of my favorites. I look so forward to your videos. Thank you for always having such wholesome ways of homemaking. I just love being a homemaker also. 🤎

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

Oh my goodness, I take that as a huge compliment, thank you so much!!! ❤️

[@cherylleatherman5037]

Were those dandelions you were weeding in your garden? If so, they were huge!

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

Yes, they were!! 😂

[@joanneschaefer7138]

I'm from Wisconsin and we like our cheese 🧀 Don't your feet hurt by the end of the day working barefoot? Your videos are great! You're so adventurous.

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

Thank you!! ❤️ I wear work boots most of time outside. I am looking for new indoor slippers, as my old pair became too ratty. I had to throw them out!! 😅

[@themoderndaycottage]

Your video is beautiful❤️! Could you please share which book you recommend for cheese making? It seems like a great activity to try out. We usually buy a lot of dairy products from the store, so making our own at home would be fantastic. Thank you! ❤🙌🏼❤️

[@angelikab.9431]

Hi Emily and Ruby Ann ❤

[@themoderndaycottage]

@@angelikab.9431 Hello Angelika❤️🥰🙌🏼

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

Thank you! ❤️ I got 2 books from the library. I like them both, but for different reasons. The first book is called Mastering Basic Cheesemaking by Gianaclis Caldwell. This book is step by step, learning the basic, easy cheeses first, then trying harder cheeses to make (the aged ones!). It is set up kind of like a masterclass. If I had to choose between the 2 books, I think I would buy this one first, because it is the most beginner friendly for learning the fundamentals. Book 2 is called Home Cheese Making, by Ricki Carrol. The book is more exciting, and more of a feast for the eyes! It has 100 cheese recipes. Everything under the sun. I love this book too, but in the first book, she takes you step by step. So, do this first, then try this next ect… I haven’t seen any other books yet. I have another one on order from the library. Once I have seen them all, I will decide on which one I’d like to purchase! For now, borrowing is fine for me. There are also a lot of videos on KZbin!

[@themoderndaycottage]

Thank you for providing such detailed information. We appreciate it and will definitely check our local library for the books you mentioned. I am excited to learn more. I have rennet in the refrigerator to try making some cheese but got sidetracked. Your video was a great reminder to try it out and learn a new skill, which will not only save us money but also be fun. Thank you again for such an inspirational video.

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

@@themoderndaycottageI think you will love it. The soft cheeses are really easy to get started with, and give you quick results! I just made a batch of Fromage Blanc and cream cheese. So quick and easy to make. I want to try a cheesecake out of my own cream cheese!!
