A Dairy Processing Day (i.e. how to make use of it all!)

[@amberwhiteman2013]

I bet its satisfying everytime you pull out fresh butter or a wheel of cheese! Freya cracks me up with her faces 😄

[@VenisonforDinner]

She is such a silly bean 🤗

[@lisaclark361]

This was a delightful video! I do enjoy my mornings off with your lovely family. I'm in awe of your ability to do so much and still be so patient and involved in the kids antics, you're a great momma😘

[@VenisonforDinner]

That’s so cool you are joining us on your day off. Love that ritual ❤️

[@karencorcoran4628]

I absolutely love the Sacred Chaos in that home!

[@sandyarcher8104]

I have missed you the kids love working

[@shelby6275]

Love love love. Thank you for taking the time to post videos and let us in on a little peak of your life!!

[@VenisonforDinner]

You are so welcome!

[@beccam507]

It was the harmonica playing in the kitchen for me 😂 Sometimes when I'm watching your videos, I'm not sure if your kids are the ones making the noise or mine! It all blends into a Happy cacophony! 🤣 I kinda wish I had that much milk to deal with. Hopefully next spring we will be milking goats.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Love that!

[@Jean-ko4xv]

Lovely Family. I'm 83 years young today, I've always loved the farm, and should have been a Farmer's Wife. God Bless. Jean

[@VenisonforDinner]

Happy Birthday to you!! Thank you for joining us here 🥰

[@playcolumbus2413]

[@judithbutler9695]

Rich life for sure! Priceless

[@pa-dd9ym]

Not being able to finish a thought! Yes! I feel like I say this every day. That’s how homeschool/farm life is. Lots of talking. A lot of things happening. Love the videos.

[@VenisonforDinner]

So true!

[@jeandunlop2922]

Loved this vlog. Found the cheese making very interesting. The kids are a hoot. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@chrystinabush862]

I really enjoyed the video but loved your little girl’s face at the end and the little fingers reaching over the counter

[@reviewstrials6785]

Lol not me leaning my phone helping you pour the whey into the bucket 🤣 🤦‍♀️

[@whiskeywomanwhisks]

I agree with kiddos-peanut butter cookies is on my agenda tomorrow & possibly scotcharoos-6 breakfast freezer meals/ 2 funeral potatoes 2 MS mud cheese potato/ lI’ve prepped most of ingredients so just put together!I’ve got a bunch of apples to peel for apple butter and maybe I’ll get to making blueberry syrup/blueberry lemon jam🤷‍♀️ I love watching you make cheese-hopefully I’ll venture into making cheese someday🤞🏻

[@VenisonforDinner]

Wow you sound like we need to be friends!🤗

[@judymcintire8061]

Hi Kate, happy to see everyone is ok well accept Rowin " she's misable!"😄 And can't believe Amos is galloping all over & helping Mama put things away! Hamish is getting good at the harmonica! Sounds like the Walton's House! 😄 Max & Frica are getting so big! They both like being silly in front of the camera! 😄 Your cheese , butter & pecan squares look amazing!!! Ty for the visit, see you next week! 🥰

[@VenisonforDinner]

Rowan was pretty funny even though she was miserable...

[@MsSam66ok]

I enjoy very much learning how you make the cheese! Your kids are adorable.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Thanks so much 😊

[@fincarosa6767]

She’s good at that!

[@lunachic03dh]

Funny. I said peanut butter cookies right before you did. Lol. My favorite!!! Nice && chewy!! I just have to say. Your rounds of cheese are INCREDIBLE!!!! Such talent!!! 🧀 😮

[@VenisonforDinner]

Thanks so much!!

[@laurenfleming514]

Cookie bars looked delicious! I have been wanting to get that cookbook for awhile now, I think now I’m going to have to! 😊

[@VenisonforDinner]

It's so good!

[@ldg2655]

This is a super informative video.. I have been dithering back and forth on making cheese. Usually my chickens get my old milk.. I’ll leave a container of milk on the counter until it clabbers into a solid mass floating in whey. I have no idea what it actually is, but my chickens love it.. i just hate to waste it. You’ve inspired me to try cheddar!!

[@VenisonforDinner]

You can do it!! And you will love making your own cheese!

[@waltmoore3095]

Would love to be your neighbor. "Could I borrow some cheese"? Lol, kids are very entertaining.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Hahahaha yes!

[@leftygirl1]

Can you tell me about the house shoes you are wearing? They look so comfy

[@VenisonforDinner]

They are Gerlups. A great Canadian company that sells world wide glerups.ca/

[@kittyrichards9915]

THis video says real life to me

[@TheInquisitiveFarmwife]

I have this same churn, love it! A Gem Dandy I believe. However the agitator was plastic and I can’t find a replacement. If you have ideas where to find one let me know!

[@VenisonforDinner]

Oh no! If I find out where I’ll post it!

[@victoryactivitiestv]

thanks for sharing this with us

[@VenisonforDinner]

My pleasure

[@cuisinevagabonde8043]

Hi Kate, fellow cheese maker here. Do you ever maken Ricotta from the whey of your hard cheeses? Maybe you take off a lot of cream before making your cheese, and it's not worth the while. But otherwise it's a very easy step to get some extra goodness out of the whey before passing it on to the chickens and SO delicious!

[@VenisonforDinner]

I take cream off and we also just done love ricotta...so more for the chickens!

[@liztosh740]

Freya is a sweet spirited, beautiful little girl!

[@VenisonforDinner]

Yes she truly is 💕

[@blessedandkept6817]

Do you have a link for your egg holder? That is brilliant

[@lisaclark361]

I got mine from Amazon, it's stainless steel but the same style.

[@davidmitchell1304]

This is the first video I have seen from your channel. You are the cutest thing ever. And the chaos is great. Can't wait to go back to the beginning. I missed it but what kinda cheese did you make? And where are you located?

[@VenisonforDinner]

Welcome!! I made alpine. Northern BC!

[@albertahickman5341]

Love you and your beautiful family!

[@VenisonforDinner]

You are so kind

[@rosalindaperez2243]

Love watching your channel always so encouraging. Can you show how to make raw milk sour cream please?!

[@VenisonforDinner]

there is one recipe on venisonfordinner.com and one on instagram.

[@danielafurlan322]

So much fun watch your family, and by the way is the puppy ok after eating the patch from your sleepers????😢

[@VenisonforDinner]

Thanks and yes the puppy is just fine. Slippers not so much!

[@apparitionappalachian4591]

I love your videos so much ❤

[@marinesimonotti481]

Can’t wait to have such a problem as too much raw milk ❤️

[@spoolsandbobbins]

Watching your precious family from Nova Scotia! We’re about to have our first milk cow. Did I understand correctly, did you take the cream out of the milk to make your cheese? Blessings from the east coast.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Hello Nova Scotia! I have precious family that lives out there! Any milk older than 24 hours I take some of the cream. Any milk two days old, I take all of the cream. If the milk is three days old or more, I skim all the cream and don't use the milk for cheese. Once the cream has well separated from the milk it doesn't make into cheese very well and you'll just lose it all in the whey. So best practice is to use milk three days or fresher.

[@spoolsandbobbins]

@@VenisonforDinnerha! My brother is in whistler!! Thanks for the info ❤

[@kendelk6275]

What size of cheese wheels do you make? I love your videos and you are so inspiring !

[@VenisonforDinner]

on average 7 gallons

[@justme2059]

Where do you find such large pots? I have been looking but in the states I have not been able to find.

[@VenisonforDinner]

i have excelsteel brand from amazon

[@GHMHomestead]

what type of culture did you end up using? Also once done salting i presume you will vacuum seal to age? At what temperature does this get stored? Sorry so many questions! Love love love your videos!!

[@VenisonforDinner]

I used a thermo culture. Here is the link to making it shop.venisonfordinner.com/offers/VxFQqoFv

[@GHMHomestead]

@@VenisonforDinner thank you so much!!

[@paulat5921]

Thank you for the video.

[@VenisonforDinner]

You're welcome

[@LisaB_at_Pine_Ridge]

Would you have used straight clabber as your culture or just the clabber whey … or either would work? I was thinking it had to be clabber whey - but now I am thinking maybe just regular clabber would work too.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Straight clabber. Here is the link shop.venisonfordinner.com/offers/VxFQqoFv

[@tinazatse7008]

I wish you would show us how to repair your felt shoe. I love mine so much that I baby them... filled with fear that I will damage them and not know how to fix them. P.S. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!

[@VenisonforDinner]

Thank you!

[@apparitionappalachian4591]

I have a question. is it okay for your sour cream to be left on the counter? I don’t know if you were in the process of putting it in the fridge or can you leave out homemade sour cream?

[@VenisonforDinner]

It cultures on the counter for about 24 hrs then lives in the fridge

[@macyakoon]

When you swap butter for shortening in recipes, do you use the same amount?

[@VenisonforDinner]

Yes I do!

[@sylviabradley7355]

Amazing💥

[@VenisonforDinner]

Thanks 🔥

[@judithbutler9695]

Absolutely fascinating! Are you self taught?

[@VenisonforDinner]

For the most part yes. Lots of advice freely shared from friends with skills though!!

[@hannahives9209]

Can I ask where you purchased your cheese mold and the name of it?

[@VenisonforDinner]

It came from cheeseneeds website.

[@ivylamejor]

Is that like a recipe book ?15:29

[@2008teams]

How much clabber would you have needed for that big pot of milk?

[@VenisonforDinner]

Sorry for the delayed reply! My ratio is 1/4 cup per gallon of milk.

[@Gods_creation.His_harvest]

Where do you age your cheese?

[@VenisonforDinner]

We have a cool room in the basement that stays at a decent temperature for it

[@sararussell6182]

I can't wait till my goats kid and I have milk to make cheese again. 6 more weeks

[@mohawksniper79]

👍🏼🤠

[@lauragladden4396]

Do you make cheese using goat milk

[@VenisonforDinner]

Many years ago I made cream cheese but haven’t had enough spare milk to try it recently
