I may not be from the south but I sure do love me

I may not be from the south but I sure do love me some fried green tomatoes. Hence, the reason why I can quite a few jars each year!
.
If you do not have the information as to whether green tomatoes are acidic enough or how long green or red tomatoes should be processed, then you need to read my new blog post. And while you're at it, can some green tomato slices.
.
I. Love. Fried. Green. Tomatoes. 🤤🤤🤤

I love my geese, I truly do. Only a breeding pair

I love my geese, I truly do. Only a breeding pair of each, the Toulouse and Buff, will be kept, which means 4 will go into the freezer. I have never adored poultry like I do these guys. I'm telling you, regardless of how long we live this life some things will never be easy. And picking between who to keep is always a tough choice.

August is exhilarating and exhausting for those of us who live a homesteading life.
.
We are catering to the existing garden, preserving foods to feed ourselves, and starting a new garden all in one month. We do all this while we rush to finish projects around the property, begin the planning stages for next year, and desperately absorb the beautiful weather God has given us.
.
Would you trade this for another life? Would you give up the hard word we put in from sunrise to sunset? Would you walk away to find something easier? Would you settle for less? Could you ever be happy away from this life? ❤ Can we better what we do? ❤

I come from a culture of clean eating, real food,

I come from a culture of clean eating, real food, and of course, good comfort foods.
.
Being half Thai and half Italian we only ate real foods. My mother cooked 3 meals a day, we lived in various countries around the world which valued the same concept, and when we moved to Hawai'i you could find NOTHING but amazing comfort foods from various cultures.
.
And then I grew up, moved out of my mother and father's home, and realized I didn't know how to cook. Better yet, I HATED cooking. I became the culture of take out and fast food.
.
At 32, after a failed relationship and getting extremely ill (to the point where my father flew from Florida to help take care of me, a newly single woman, and my kids for 2 weeks) did he put his foot down and say, you've got to learn to feed your family. So began the journey of learning how to cook.
.
However, it wasn't until I met Justin did I truly WANT to cook and care for him and our family that I put the effort into learn how to cook.
.
Now, don't let this fool you, I still HATE to cook, BUT I love food. Everything complex and simple about it. And so it began, my desire to give my family clean foods even down to the snacks they consume.
.
For example, fruit leather. I live in a state which produces the most incredible stone fruit grown by the @nwcherrygrowers. Not to mention we have the most incredible orchards around!
.
Give this recipe for homemade cherry fruit leather a go. It takes only minutes to prepare AND it can be dried in a dehydrator or oven. Enjoy the incredible flavor of Bing cherries (outside of devouring them straight!).
.
PS. Apple cinnamon fruit leather will be live this week, just saying!

Egg envy is a thing. Am I right? . I can't help bu

Egg envy is a thing. Am I right?
.
I can't help but look at some accounts and sw😍😍n over the colors, the speckled eggs, the generations of the flocks which it took to achieve those colors. Gah! Such art, you can't help but be envious over the colors and the keeper's work!
.
And then I look at our basket and what do I see? The same beauty to a different degree. Beautiful eggs from pure bred girls and a barnyard mixed that is allowed to free range from dawn to dusk, who's fed a healthy @scratchandpeckfeeds feed which I ferment, and that's when my farm fresh eggs become just as stunning.
.
The work we put into our flocks is beyond dedication, it's stewardship to a level most don't understand. I'll ALWAYS sw😍😍n over eggs from the mother daughter duo, @thefourteenacres and @roundrockfarm , but I'll also be blessed and happy with the basket we have.

And in true Ann fashion, my new leaf cutter bees have a home!
.
You all knew I was not in a location to house honey bees, though I did try everything in my might to have them, it just didn't work. But we need pollination (cause you know I will not get out there with a little paint brush and do the deed).
.
My mason bees do a great job in the spring, so why not incorporate leaf cutter bees for summer pollination? It just makes sense!
.
This little beaut of a house and bees came from this family owned business @kindbeefarms and let me tell you, I'm pretty stickin excited to have them.
.
