Oh August…

[@claudialeger3208]

Freya is so talented and learning with such a beautiful attitude. It is lovely to see her involved.

[@VenisonforDinner]

I completely agree!

[@kittyrichards9915]

Marius holding the baby, walking to church with church bells ringing. That made my day. Terrific video.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Does my heart good to read your words.

[@gaylesmith1738]

Freia has grown up. She is a responaible girl. Wow!! She probably doesn't realize how blessed she is to have a mom to teach her! ❤ I loved your walk to church! My dad was a pastor & he served little country churches! So, brought back memories!! Love all your stuff!!! 💕

[@VenisonforDinner]

Thank you so much for your kind words. Makes me happy to know I've brought back some nice memories.

[@christinamillington2342]

Awww freya is amazing ❤

[@ritabaker3113]

She’s an amazing young lady 🙏❤️

[@arlysdavis3694]

Freida is such a young lady, what a treasure. That one plant you were questioning looks like a weed we use to pull out of the garden. Love seeing all your plants. Thanks for taking us along.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Thanks for joining us here!

[@brendalay5161]

Love seeing these young children helping and learning things in the kitchen. Great job!

[@VenisonforDinner]

Thank you!

[@TheFeralFarmgirl]

Also, the perennial sunflowers spread mostly by roots. Gophers ate all mine though...

[@VenisonforDinner]

Oh good to know! Darn gophers!

[@sharibuckler8529]

I feel so much better! My kitchen, dining room, etc are random chaos this time of year too! Good chaos but so many don't understand...

[@VenisonforDinner]

Glad I made you feel better! Definitely a good chaos but it's true only those who do the work understand how involved the whole house becomes!!

[@lindseypope6235]

Hi Kate long time viewer, love your channel and all that you share! I think that mystery plant is mugwort in its flowering form. Cheers!

[@VenisonforDinner]

Thanks for joining us here! And for helping us with mystery plant!

[@Growing_Unapologetically]

What a beautiful view to be blessed with ❤

[@emilypresley5170]

I love dad baby wearing too! My husband loves baby wearing our daughters. Pretty sure he wears them more than me 😂 we always get comments about how sweet it is to see and how our generation’s dads are so different. Not my dad thought lol I was a complete daddy’s girl so he was always the one holding me

[@VenisonforDinner]

That is awesome!

[@sharonhuelsman]

Wow! what a packed video! Thank you Kate. Your family is beautiful and I love seeing the baby 🥰

[@VenisonforDinner]

Thank you for joining us here

[@CharlotteSander]

That big plant is lambs quarter. It’s a “garden weed” and will go everywhere if you let the seeds spread. Can cook and eat it like spinach and chickens love it too!

[@VenisonforDinner]

Well that is good to know!!

[@andreabarber8106]

Kate! Such a great video! Freja has become a greater helper! Goat cheese! I’d love to see a video telling us a why/why not to keep a milk cow and dairy goats cause that may be my situation. 😂

[@catheymarker8676]

Hello Kate!!! Loved watching this video! So much going on at your house all the time. Reminded me of when my husband and I were younger. Freya is already so accomplished with her goats. She is adorable! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful life with us!!!❤

[@VenisonforDinner]

You are most welcome. Thanks you for your kind words.

[@aprilgowins9849]

That ramp hack is amazing thank you for the idea Love your content God bless your family

[@kayleenvanderhorst]

Sending you love and positivity. ❤

[@TheFeralFarmgirl]

Can you freeze dry the clabber culture to stabilise it? Freya is a cute Jr. homesteader. 💟

[@VenisonforDinner]

I don't think it would make it work like a freeze dried culture.

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

Great video! I love the family working together. You're amazing. Ty for sharing.

[@VenisonforDinner]

You are so welcome!

[@kittyrichards9915]

August is definitely Chaos in the Kitchen month.

[@VenisonforDinner]

TOTAL CHAOS! You know it.

[@debwinfrey]

Love watching the cheese process!!

[@caroleseghers821]

Great video Kate ❤❤

[@VenisonforDinner]

Glad you liked it!!

[@tanyabriggs8969]

You might see if those perennial sunflowers are tuberous and edible, OR actually Jerusalem artichokes. They can be a bit invasive in the south...but were a good food source for my family foraging. Up in Wa state they stayed contained and were a bear to dig tubers in glacial clay we had. But not too difficult in sandy Texas ditches.

[@sararussell6182]

We started school this week but don't have all our curriculum yet so its a soft start, just picked our cauliflower and I need to can it this weekend, leaves are starting to turn yellow and its getting a little chilly in the mornings.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Autumns in the air....

[@samanthalangley4859]

I’d be interested to see how you harvest the marshmallow-I also planted some this year and have no idea what to do with it.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Stay tuned!

[@dawnmeador1266]

Beautiful video! Do you, by chance, have a video on herbs? I am looking for a good source on their uses and how to make tinctures and/or teas? Ideas if you do not offer a video?

[@VenisonforDinner]

I do have info on this in my insiders club- sign ups are open a few times a year.

[@victoriasimage]

Where do you get mesophilic culture in that large of a container? That looks way more handy than those silly little packets I buy.

[@VenisonforDinner]

From Glengarry Dairy!

[@denisemendenhall32]

That unidentified plant may be St. John's Wort. Love your channel.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Thank you!

[@faithopeloveful]

Is that goat cheese called 'chevre?' I see people talking about 'chevre' on 'Learn to Make Cheese,' which I am new to! Freia seems wise beyond her years! Love when she is involved.

[@ericcawith2cs11]

Yes! That is what she's making here.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Yes, as Erica said, it's called Chèvre. That's so sweet of you to say about Freja.

[@teresasuderman2199]

Where did you get the perennial sunflowers. They sound very interesting!

[@VenisonforDinner]

Perennial plant sale.

[@FallenHeights44]

Not everyone will understand my excitement in this thrift find but I know you will, Kate… I found a real rabbit fur lined girls hat (that covers the ears and buckles under the chin) thrifted for $3!!!!!!!!!!!

[@VenisonforDinner]

Wow!! That is an excellent score!

[@aessidhe6304]

Lol….I call newly purchased chicks “new genetics” as well. Speedwell is a nice medicinal. Good for alleviating upper respiratory congestion.

[@kittyrichards9915]

Thanks for this tip. I planted speed well because I love the color purp!e. But I have asthma, so I am going to research this. Thanks.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Right on i didnt know that! Which part of the plant is best utilized?

[@VenisonforDinner]

I just did some reading and found it’s also good for infected skin and a couple kids have minor skin infections right now from cut so I’m off to make some tea to wash them with! Thank you 🙏

[@aessidhe6304]

@@VenisonforDinner i would have to pull out my medicinals manual. I think multiple parts. It’s been awhile since I had any planted. Evidently, rabbits really like it. I use a lot of chamomile, echinacea, and calendula. Although, chipmunks decimated my chamomile this year. My garden has had a rough year so far because of varmits; but we have eaten a lot of rabbit thks week.

Can you send links for your goat cheese culture! Please!

[@VenisonforDinner]

I think it’s a mesophyllic, can't remember which one…most work.

[@kerry7418]

Ah, buy once, cry once...you will have that milking container forever.

Hahahah love that!
