Here's a few things I've been able to store away this month! Needless to say, my weekends have been busy!
1. Bone Broths!!!! Chicken, Rabbit, Pork and Beef. Our house has smelled for a month straight, but I needed to make room in the freezer 😂 We've got two batches of beef bones left before the goats come back from the butchers 🫣
2. Eggs!!!! We've been overflowing and not selling 🙄 Soooo I made two batches of water glassed eggs and several jars of boiled eggs. (Yes, this a rebel canning method, if you don't like it, move on! Or start a comment war and boost my ratings 😂)
3. Meal canning! We canned some Chicken Enchilada Soup, Goat Chili, and Green Chili Goat Stew. Some of these items were frozen left overs that needed to be removed from the freezer. Everything was pressure canned and looks lovely!
4. Tallow and Lard! We have tones of frozen lard and tallow from our recent butcherings, so I'm making it shelf stable, to make room for this year's goats! So far I have beef Tallow and pork lard, but I have lots more to can!
5. Wheat berries! We've bought both hard red and hard white wheat berries to make bread and pastries, but I didn't have to time to use it all, so I "dry canned" it to make it last longer.
5. Flours! I was graciously gifted some "pizza flour" and bought extra bread Flour, so I decided to add them to mylar bags and add them to our rainy day, dooms day buckets for the future!
6. Frozen Goats milk! Our newest addition to the farm not only brought our new Billy goat to breed to the girls, but her own milk and goofy attitude! Miss Marmalade, is a Spanish cross, not known for milk, but she definitely did her best! We didn't want it to go to waste, so we froze it for future drinking, soaps and lotion! Every drop counts!
I may not be a full on homesteader, gardener, or heardsman, but we do what we can!
Let me know in the comments what yall do!
