What's cooking? Homemade no rise, no yeast bread.

What's cooking? Homemade no rise, no yeast bread. Is it dense? Absolutely not! Did I mention it has buttermilk in it? Grab the butter and honey, it's about to go down!

@iamcountryside wants to know #whatscooking and this is it!

The recipe is up on my site! Take a look at my bio or here ---> https://afarmgirlinthemaking.com/traditional-irish-soda-bread-no-yeast-bread/

Hello! Let's do an introduction! Let me tell you a

Hello! Let's do an introduction! Let me tell you a little about me, but more importantly, I'd love to know where you're homesteading and how long you've been living this life. Make sure to leave that info in the comment section 👇 below.
.
I'm Ann. I find humor in the simplest things and laugh at my own jokes, which my family doesn't find as funny as I do. I believe in living a transparent life and that there is nothing worth faking.
.
It's been 6 years since we started this journey to reclaim a world long gone. I am a self taught homesteader which has made many mistakes; thankfully we've had more successes than failure.
.
The reasons mentioned 👆 above lead me to write my book, The Farm Girl's Guide to Preserving the Harvest.
.
Food ownership is THE main reason behind this life, and there are so many who need the guidance in learning how to preserve food. Heck, I was once one of those individuals. I had spent years researching traditional and modern methods of food preservation, and what I discovered surprised me. Let's just say, to live the life of a self sufficient individual you need to understand not only the science behind food preservation, but also the traditional methods.
.
I have a strong belief that living simply is a mindset. That fixing someone's crown is stronger than knocking it off. And if all else fails, kill them with kindness and go about your business.
.
We have a mountainside homestead on 2 acres outside of Seattle, WA. However, this will not be our forever home. In a few short years our journey will begin again, but this time with quite a bit of knowledge under our belts.
.
We raise chickens, turkeys, ducks, guineas, quail, rabbits, and goats. We eat clean, made from scratch meals, will eat out on occasion, and indulge our children with Captain Crunch cereal during special occasions. I have tattoos and a nose piercing, that grey hair you see has been with me since I was 16, and I am a cancer survivor.
.
It's nice see your ❤ on my posts and read your comments, but now it's your turn...where are you homesteading and for how long have you been at it?

The garden is currently closed, but not for long!

The garden is currently closed, but not for long! At the end of February we build a temporary greenhouse, and hopefully a huge section of the maple will come down to expand the garden. Transfering a single family home into a sustainable homestead takes work. Much work with little rest. But that's okay, the reward is quite worth it. .

Happy birthday little darling! It's hatch day around here. Remember those eggs I threw into the incubator with hopes that they wouldn't hatch? Well, they're hatching. This little one came from a first generation Olive Egger, let's hope it's a pullet!
.
Time to pick up some @scratchandpeckfeeds for these little ones...who by the way will be housed in the bathroom for a few weeks. Forgive me Justin. Remember, it was @amy.fewell 's fault.

This man. He does everything possible to make me happy. Working over 40 hours off the property to come home and work roughly 25 hours on the homestead. He'll tell you homesteading is my thing. Yet he's at my side every step of the way. He'll tell you that the website is my thing. Yet he helps me with whatever I need on it. He'll tell you that writing books, for magazines and sponsors, and social media is my thing. Yet, he helps to edit my work and takes photos for me.
.
You see this man here holding our first grandchild? This man would give me the moon if he could. And I can not show him enough how much I value and love him for it.

Abraham, you're the most dreamiest Amchin around.

Abraham, you're the most dreamiest Amchin around. It's about that time of the year to think about incorporating meat rabbits. There's a ton to consider. For example, housing, feed options, and breed selection. Don't jump into it. Take your time and make good choices. Let me guide you into what is already a hard process and make it easier. Tell me, is he not the most handsomest rabbit around?
.
Let's start here, raising meat rabbits 101. https://afarmgirlinthemaking.com/homesteading-raising-meat-rabbits/

Thank you to all that participated! The amount of individuals who are ready to own their food source is incredible, and I am thankful you are part of the movement to consuming a selfreliant food source.

She says, "Come take a walk with me. There's a party by the stump and I'll show you the hangout."
.
Take a peek at my story to see a small amount of land they and the goats have cleared during free ranging. I won't lie, it a struggle to free range in the mountains. The predators also find poultry tasty. But we do it anyway because it's best for our flock and our property. It's not for everyone, and that's okay.
