Coles on the Coast

Coles on the Coast We are a Gulf Coast family of 6 on the journey of becoming more self sufficient. Welcome to our little corner of Alabama!

Here at our little growing homestead we like to learn about nourishing foods, growing gardens, raising free range chickens/children, and finding natural health freedom, all as a part to live life more sustainably on the Alabama Gulf Coast. Living more sustainably is a whole new way of life and mindset. Follow along with us as we share our journey, the successes and the oopsies alike.

Look at that beautiful butter! Our "pet milk" was essentially half and half last week. Half a gallon of heavy cream got me this butter and 4.5 cups of buttermilk! What should I make with my buttermilk?

We've been upping our ferments due to sickness in the house. So here's what's brewing... Pickles and Kiefer! For the pickles I'm trying to reuse the Bubbies brine. We'll see how it works! Usually I do it but just stick it in the fridge for a slow ferment. Hopefully this is recreating the actual pickles. 🤞

Guys, the house is a wreck. The kids are all sick. Charlie and I are doing our best not to be sick. He's coming home early to get some rest to try to stay well. We're doing crazy crunchy home remedies to try to kick this stuff out. But it sure looks like a disaster and I have no energy to care at this point. There are times like this, and that's ok. We'll catch up when we're old and the kids are gone. 😂

Picture is taken after I spilled Adelaide's water all over the floor and I was going to dry it, but decided to let the kids go with the mop.
