Just keep Moving Forward..

Only a few more days for 2020 to be done, and its going out strong, came in with fires burning and its going out on the rising crest of horse pucks and then some..

Normally at this time of the year I would be breathing out a sigh, as this is my two month break time. the gardens are done and I am not starting new plants yet.. the livestock raising is done, the butcher is done, the freezers and jars are full, the extra that overwhelmed at a early point in the harvest has all been processed.

The ewe’s are getting fatter and maybe I might have one or two new lambs come early but most will not arrive till March.. so I even get a break on milking..

O yes on any normal year I would be saying hunker down, get ready for the winter rest.. Everyone certainly should and needs that rest..

IMG_7561

Take the rests in small naps this winter.. that lovely winter walk.. enjoy each one of your bright spots, hold those small and maybe bigger joys tight and get every moment you can from them..

However keep in the back of the mind that 2021 is coming at us like a run away freight train, so I will say it..

Just keep moving..

  • Order your seeds NOW
  • Order your wood for any build projects NOW 
  • Need a new freezer? or parts? Order them NOW
  • Need to repair a tool, a mower or anything else, get it in the shop, get the part now while you are seeing it start to wear. 
  • Get your summer boots NOW
  • Got kiddo’s growing leeps and bounds.. GET THE NEXT sizes Now
  • Need to get a dog fixed- Book it
  • Need  spring chicks- talk to your feed store, call the hatchery, find out the first order date and make it happen
  • Need a butcher date.. locally they are requiring peaple to book a YEAR IN ADVANCE
  • Need jars or lids : order them in now in bulk.. 
  • Need another pressure canner? Put your self on te wait lists.. 

Wait.. hold.. the above only works if you still have income, if you have a steady paycheck, if you can afford to put money down and then wait weeks, months to get the yield or return.. 

If you either don’t have a steady job and or its touch and go.. back up.. start watching those kijji and market place ads.. Put the word out.. maybe you can trade your smaller apartment size freezer to someone who is downsizing and swap out their big one for your smaller one.. 

Maybe you can talk to your friends, share seed packages, only need to grow 4 plants and your friend does two on her deck and someone else does a half dozen.. split it up folks..  

Think outside the box.. buy a organic local tomato and save the seeds, ask online if anyone has seeds to share, ask at your local church if anyone has extra’s.  

If I had to put a motto on 2021.. its the year to ask.. 

Ask for advice

Ask for help

Ask to trade

Ask to barter 

Ask to learn

If you have money and pay.. great.. keep that money as much as possable in your local area, your county, your province or state, your country.  

But if you are riding the line, going paycheck to paycheck and you are selling off things to make ends meet, taking on small part time jobs, needing the help at the food banks etc.  then I can’t say it loud enough ASK.. 

Ask if you have skills someone else might need?

Ask if you can trade your time for something you need?

Ask if you can trade part time farm work or yard work for a cut in rent on that extra bedroom someone has..  Better to ask and downsize, then struggle to keep your one bedroom and lose everything.. 

Ask now with those you trust about what if I lose my job? What if I lose my car? what if I lose my health? What if I lose my home? 

Figure out what you need for the coming year, make the lists, make the plans and then work on how you are going to make that happen.. then take a hard look at the bottom line.

Stay flexable, think outside the box.. make it work.. and JUST KEEP MOVING..

Indoor Garden Winter 2021

Posted on December 26, 2020 by Just another day on the farm

81thA0PmuxL._AC_SL1500_

Its 8 feet long, 4 feet wide and 6 feet tall.. add in 4 sets of 4 foot length led full sun lights, two boxes of heavy thick snap together flooring to help keep the cold out of the bottom in regards to the cement floor and this big guy is going into our “just” heated basement. We will see if we need to add a small oil hearter to the space or not.

I will not call this a christmas present or a boxing sale’s day.. I did get them on sale and I will be using my own already owned wooden seed starting shelves, reusing our pots and trays that we already have, our own compost and I will sigh deeply as I cook the soil and then use fish tank water and a homemade seaweed/nettle tea to refeed it

I can’t take the chance with the hatching and such in the soil itself in such a small garden, I had to order in special “patio” seeds for the pot of cherry tomato’s, cucumbers and zucchini.. I have lots and lots of “greens” seeds so I am not worried about making micro greens for salads.

In winter typically we eat ouf of the freezers, the canning pantry and the cold storage, which means lots of roots, but with our new diet for hubby, while I can eat some of the roots, some he can’t and thankfully the hounds love it, so nothing will go to waste..

We are BLOWING our food budget sky high on fresh greens and salad fixings for at least two main meals.. now we have plans for a geodome year round growing greenhouse, its being order to be made in 2021, prep work done on the farm in 2021 but it will not be put up and into full growing until 2022 and we can not wait that long to figure out how to grow for the table

Never mind that the cost just in the sense of handing over hard cash (well tap, they do not let you pay with cash that is a different grrrrr post) but add in how its grown , the distanced traveled, and the recalls, so many recalls.. no.. just no..

My little lean too side greenhouse is a three season only.. and this is by far easier and cheaper to set up then to try and heat that much much larger space.. we will see how it goes..

Pandemic Pigs

Posted on November 19, 2020 by Just another day on the farm

122499478_5124640464243275_6667115311906532953_n

This spring trying to find a weaner piglet or two was for many peaple a huge challenge, just like the run on chicks.. meat chicks sold out hard and fast locally..

Thankfully I had my name down on a waiting list for 2 heritage piglets from a lovely pure tamworth breeding and i was able to get a very nice brother sister set of pigs.

They were healthy, good temperments and never gave a moments issue.. this past weekend, I woke up after setting my mind the night before to being in the zone.

Out I headed with my rifle/knives and it went as well as it can.. As homesteaders we all talk about one bad day or the freezer camp.. but lets get real, its death.. I was killing my pigs..

All kills are hard.. pigs are very hard, never ever let anyone tell you that pigs are not smart and very VERY MUCH there.. they know their names, they have favorite treats, they clean (having a bathroom corner) they fluff their beds just so and they learn that myself and the other humans bring food, treats, garden offering, hay, bedding and rump rubs.. I have never meet a well socialized pig that does not view us as ear scratchers or rump rubbers..

We all want it to go perfectly, picture perfect! Thankfully more often then not, someone will help you learn and once you have the basic’s you will get the job done.

However the larger the animal, the more it needs to be done just right because most homesteaders will not have the equipment that larger will. Its worth noting that the goverment federally and provinally also has rules in place and you had better know them..

They will tell you where you need to shot, the degree of power you need and what choices you have to do it per stock.. what is needed for lamb is NOT the same as what is required for a 18 month old steer..

So when I say, that it went well, I mean it.. Training is key.. teach your animals a routine and do it well before you need it.. My pigs had been raised in the croft as littles and big barn but I needed them up close for the butcher.

We created a small pen to train them in for the D-Day..

in my case I would call them to the front and I had set it up that they had a space to put their head partly into which gave me the right view and ability to get the right angle.

the male was the leader of the two and he went first.. its was so perfect, he went back two steps and dropped (didn’t even get a kick) the female took about 20 to 30 second to line up and she was done..

From the time of saying good morning to both being down.. under a minutes.. eye checks done then washed feet, slide out of the pen to clean ground, washed necks and then cuts from side to side to where done

They both came in around 250 to 275 live weight and thank goodness for hunting gear, in went the hooks, onto the pulley and up they went for washing skinning, cleaning and quartering and then break down for hams, bacon, chops, stew and ground.. fat to be rendered down

It was a long work day but it was so worth it..

Did you raise pigs this year? Did you send it out to be done? or did you home butcher? Did you also cure your meat into hams, bacon and making sausages?

Dollar Store Challenge Day 3

Posted on November 18, 2020 by Just another day on the farm

I woke up today knowing that it was the last day of the challenge, that my basket had lots of food in it still and that if I was to ever do this again, that I would shop for it very carefully and differently.  If hip roof barn decides to do it again.. I have thoughts on it that’s for sure.

Well, that upset tummy meant that I was up for a while in the night if you know what I mean folks..  So lesson number one learned..  while you can go from eating a low sugar, low carb, high fiber, fresh organic home raised fruits and veggies, grass fed farm raised meat, fresh eggs and raw milk to store crap.. but you will pay for it..

Not just in tasting the chemical’s in the food, not just in tasting the difference between sugar and corn syrup in the food vs the non-gmo sugar or local honey i normally use. or my local maple syrup..

Really if you have to go from eating whole foods to some of the lower cost foods, this is not the way to do it!  H and hip roof and even silver did so much better because they were able to find rice, grains, dried beans and oatmeal at their dollar stores..  This is where I would start if I could do it again.. at the most basic of whole foods you can get and I would go with as much dried food as possable

I saw that Hip Roof made a soup on day 2 with one of my favorite soup blends and she didn’t much care for it..  now this is a blend I keep in the house always, I throw a handful in soups, stews, even chili at times, I use it in my canning jars, a heaping tbsp added in dry with 1 cup of mixed veggies with 3/4th cup of ground meat, and broth over and pressure can and go.. its a staple here.. but I stopped and thought about it, as it was cooked in a broth, it was done in a way as a side dish, ok, a bit of a soupish side dish.. and no on its own, I can see why she got it down and went nope..   I can’t see myself wanting to eat as a solid full only it in broth meal either.. totally understand..

Hubby is sitting across from me enjoying bacon and eggs with homemade cheese.. fresh yogurt and blueberries.. sigh..  I am still holding off because other then meat and kippers I do not want anything in there..

This honestly could be a water/coffee breakfast type day..

125502739_869541810452608_5484452967254318758_n

Ok so my official breakfast was the tin of salmon and the rest of the canned pea’s.. I fried them up in the coconut oil with salt and pepper..  It was one of the  better meals I have had so far.. but kippers are still the favorite!

Snack- Apple cup

Lunch -One can of the mushest aspagus spears Blended with almond milk, a tsp of coconut oil and 2 heaping tsps of cheese whiz with lots of black pepper and salt to taste.

All blended together and simmered till hot? Not bad.. not bad at all..  it was tasty .. I give a solid 5.5 out of 10..  so far we are doing better today for meals..

supper -Mixed the rice pudding with the tapioca pudding and the last two fruit cups and added a little salt and pepper and eat it cold!

Hubby chopped up onions, peppers, mushrooms and more beef and used up the last can of chili with extra spices added..  lol

For sure a costly day of eating..

Breakfast  Salmon 1.50 Peas 1.00

lunch – Aspurgus 1.25, .75 worth of almond milk .50 worth of cheese whiz

Supper -Rice 1.25, Tapico 1.50, fruit cups X 2 83 cents

Apple cup .35 cents

Coffee 1.00

Total cost for the day 9.45 cents.

Calories 2480 for the day..

I still have a number of things left in my basket! It was a learning curve for sure and I can’t say that I am glad to have eaten like this for the 3 days but it was eye opening thats for sure..

The biggest thing I learned is that if I was to do this again, I would pick totally different food items..   there was box’s of a “oatmeal bar with fake strawberry jam in the middle: and I would get two boxes of them for a total of 8 bars, eating two or even three if needed for my breakfast with coffee and sugar.. lunches and suppers would be dried veggie based knorr soups, and I would have gone and bought 6 or 8 of the little seseme seed snaps..   Maybe it would not have been as “balanced as I tried for” but it would have been easier to get, healthier in the long run and had much less chemicals..

I can all the time, I do not understand why the canned food was so poorly! but its done!

Do not forgot to head over to Hip Roof Barn or Silver to see their updates for day two and day three..

Dollar store Challenge Day 2

Posted on November 17, 2020 by Just another day on the farm

Breakfast : 2 fruit cups and one tin of kippers black Coffee with sugar.

I had slept well but woke woggy and fog headed, my body is not happy with something I eat yesterday as my fingers are swollen, I can tell that my whole body feels heavy and cranky..  I do reaction this way to MSG so I am guess there is some in the beans and franks.

The fruit in the cups is delightful but again so sweet, its in what we canners would call heavy for the syrup.. I poured it into a glass, added water and drank my fruit sugar water.  The kippers are as always good.. and I am so glad I bought 4 tin.. I remember thinking 4 might be to many and now I can see, should have got more.

I have already figured out that I have made a mistake, I should have gotten more of the knorr brand dry soup mixes and less of the tinned food..  while I did not have milk for some of the choices, there were a number of the soups blends that work with water..

I remember thinking.. I can have a bit of freedom with the tins, not needing to cook.. boy was that a mistake.. BIG mistake!

Silver over at Silveryew has posted her day one.. Go check it out! loved her use of jam on oatmeal!

Hip Roof has her  and H’s Day on up as well. I liked that she baked and that bread and butter..  H’s meals look great!

I spent the morning breaking down the back half of a pig into what will be ham’s, roasts, pork chops, stew meat, sausage grind and fat to be rendered as well as split pea ham bones for canning up soup.

Lunch

I enjoyed my bitter black sweet coffee but looked at my basket and  passed on snacks..  However by 1 for lunch I was hungry.. I took out can of my mild chili and opened and stuck my spoon in and tasted it.. hmmm.. not bad.. 4 out of 10.. into the pot it goes.. and my head goes hmmm.. its got flavour.. got back to my basket.. grab a can of the beans and weaners, add it to the chili.. then grab the can of mushrooms, open, turns out its whole mushrooms, diced them into bits using half the can.. add a little pepper to the whole brown mess of beans, simmer it slow till fully heated up.

And its not bad! Its my lunch and I enjoyed two small bowls of it..

Supper

I am going to take the leftovers and add half a can of pea’s to it, reheat and call it supper, wishing once again that I had rice or instant potato’s or bread to go with my stew..  Its tasty and its hot and I force myself to eat it..    my tummy is upset with me.. its rolling but good!

Big old coffee so good!

So the girls really broke down their costs and calories..  so today I will go a little more detailed and I will update the Day 1 post as well

Dollar Store Challenge Day 1

Posted on November 16, 2020 by Just another day on the farm

Breakfast :Coffee, Rice Pudding and Apple Sauce.

So first off almond milk is grey.. milk should not be grey.. and its thick and odd textured, I gagged trying to drink it as is.. however in a coffee its like a almondish milk flavour.. it fine and if I get tired of it, a will just drink my coffee sweet and black!

** I have tried twice.. forget it.. I will drink black with sugar.. I expect that the almond milk will stay on the shelf in the fridge till the 18th and then go to the dogs on their food maybe.. or the compost pile.. yuck!!! I drink fresh raw milk, I would raither go without!

Hubby kindly left me bacon (which I could not have lol, so he eat it) and I opened my first of two tins of rice pudding.. its good but o my gosh sweet.. so freakin sweet, so I went and got a half cup of unsweetened apple sauce and put it on top and mixed it to help cut the sweet..

*clearly I am getting used to my no sugar meals because that was just wow!

After chores I came in very much wanting more.. my body was like.. protein so I had a can of kippers.. hit the spot, a bit salty and smoked lightly.. so good..

So it was pointed out to me that I had gotten a larger package of short bread style cookies in small package on this shopping trip and from the food isle, I had gotten them so I would have premade safe each person could have their own for my big pig butcher day but only one package was used, leaving 7 that are whole and as they were bought in the food isle and in the same trip, that they came home as part of the basket.. I am going to take it.. it gives me something to put my cheese whiz lol  its a sweet shortbread type UK cookie so its odd to think about using it in place of a more normal savory type cracker.. but its doable..

lunch -1 can of beans an franks..  I had high hope to enjoy these cold.. nope, for sure they need to be heated and bland is the word..  so I took out my salt and pepper which had been a package.. between the two, its better but once i could open them, I would like to point out that the salt is only 3/4th full and the pepper is only 50 percent full. this was covered up by the packaging and I can honestly say that when I buy salt or pepper at the regular stores.. its a full shaker..  is this dollar store thing.. package in the right size but not fill it? seems shady to me for sure!

Today we have had sleet, freezing rain, hail, and rain.. but we got alot done in the yards none the less.. so I am beyond grateful for hot coffee and just hot water to sip..

After a afternoon of working outside around 4, I was tired and cold.. and went to bed.. slept though dinner, work up at 9:30..  so no supper..

!0pm, second half of the rice pudding from breakfast and water..

Putting me at 4.75 for meals costs today and 1 fruit portion, no veggies.. meat and carbs and way to much sugar! FUN!

On the end of day one, I can honestly say I did eat enough to feel full but I did not enjoy eating from the cans, I did not enjoy not being able to adjust my seasonings.. and I am being reminded just how spoiled I am with my farm fresh food..

Dollar Store Eating Challenge Nov 15th to 17th

Posted on November 15, 2020 by Just another day on the farm

125102763_372473880643382_2854239042491540200_n

Hip Roof Barn offered up a blogging challenge which caught my eye.. and I have decided to join in on it.. Silver also joined in from the UK as well as H and family. This is a good as it gives us a snap shot of different areas and different dollars stores.

The goal was to fully shop from your own local dollar store for all your meals an snacks for a full three days. Hip Roof Barn did not give us a limited budget so that was nice.

124684840_690574321572135_3817516416435218577_n

The idea being two fold.. A) its recommended that you have at least 3 days of shelf stable food for a emergency on hand and b) a lot of of peaple live in food desert area’s and the local shop is the dollar store, a lot of elderly, or lower income do their shopping at the dollar stores as it allows you to buy small portions with limited heating required on most things and many are also pop the top or microwave an go

So the first thing I had to decide was which dollar store I was heading to.. I do not have a dollar store at either of the two closest villages.. and so I used Google maps to figure out which of the “next” over bigger towns was closer.. I will admit that I WISHED I go to the one with the dollar tree as its all 1.25 max but the dollarma was the closest store to me and it ranges from 1 dollar to 4 dollars per item

I headed into town and the first thing I figured out is that I never shop that row, i mean I do like to pick up the norway fished and packed kippers and fish and I do poke my head down it by 3 feet around christmas time to pick up some amazing UK or scottish cookies normally and that’s it..

So I was truly coming at this with fresh eyes.. the fact that I was to try for a balanced diet within reason while buying all shelf stable seemed and was a challenge for sure..

I do not know if I hit a bad day at my store but I came home with no bread, no crackers, no rice, I could have gotten potato chips but not in the food isle.. there was pasta and pasta sauce and some dried knorr soups that I passed on.

in the end for drinks, I got coffee, sugar and almond milk (I have never had almond milk unsweetened, so that is a new thing for me) i could have gotten powdered creamer but it was a massive bag and I just could not make myself buy it.. I had a choice between almond milk or oat milk.. anyone know both? should I have gone oat?

124882289_1200926370302267_7801031011814970197_n

the meat section was lean, so I got some of everything they had, my canned kippers, one can of salmon, one can of white chicken breast meat chunks and one can of a version of spam.. again the shelves where not full..

Veggie spot.. I got one of each thing they had which is one can of aspargus tips, one can of peas(the last one on the shelf) black olives and a can of mushrooms.. the lady in front of me, snapped up the last cans of corn, pea’s and carrots, and green beans. I watched them go in her cart with a sigh as I waited my spot back

125074196_1020012281845276_3711897148923208741_n

Fruit was easy.. they had fruit mixed cups and apple sauce.. that was it, so that was what in my basket.. I looked up and down carefully.. this was the only fruit I could find. I was sure I should have been able to find dried fruit, fruit roll ups, fruit gummys for kids lunches.. nope..

so as I stood there thinking breakfast and supper with a frown on my face, found my saving graces on the highest shelve and down the way on the lowest.. Breakfast, high up was cans of rice pudding lots of it and one last can of tapioca pudding.. snap!

125339526_1331841027165727_3000543718846909060_n

Down low, beans and franks so many cans of beans and franks and two lone cans of mild chili.. it will do.. it will do..

125185915_370753063994765_7743021859406467949_n

I have to admit that I have a feeling from what the other folks have written that I might have gotten the short end of the stick at my store on choices.. I could see that many things were missing, empty areas and there was a huge stack of boxes waiting to be unpacked onto those grocery shelves

I certainly have enough to eat and I expect some things will be left over so I will let you know total cost at the end of each day and at the end of 3 days. I have cheese whis but nothing to put it on and I have coconut oil as my fat.. but again.. nothing to use it with.. and for my spices.. I got a set of salt and pepper..

Money wise I was pleased at least.. the almond milk was 2 dollars but everything else was 1 dollar or 1.25 each.. still costly in the end but better then I expected.

We will see what is left in my basket the morning of the 18th..

By-product of Duck Butchering-Down and Small Feathers-Part One

Posted on November 11, 2020 by Just another day on the farm

Its always a good thing to harvest the best warm down feathers each time and save them.. they are so warm when used properly!

Just another day on the farm's avatarJust another Day on the Farm

Now I think most folks can see that with the different new duck recipes appearing on the blog lately that I am doing a little of my fall bird butcher out, now its worth noting that for those that are wanting to make some for those recipes, that I am making my recipes with Muscovy’s, as I find them to be one of the best birds for small farms, high production rates and one of the finest duck meat available, however I had it pointed out to me that I should comment that as Muscovy’s are a duck, they are not from the same ” mallard” breeding line, and that their meat is a touch different then regular ducks. I think Poultry for small farms says it perfectly..

“If you’ve never eaten Muscovy, you should know that it’s really something. Muscovy is not at all greasy like other duck meat, it’s…
