I made home made butter yesterday for the very first time and now i will never EVER go back to store bought butter again. Has anyone else done the same or found something that once they have made they can never go back?

love this. going to have to try it

do you pressure can the soup or use the bath method?

Thank you. I just read one post where they hit the rabbit with a stick. I'm not afraid to do it myself when it comes time I have just never had rabbit before (at least not that I know of) and my husband and I have been talking about if we want to raise rabbits for meat or not.

ok I have to ask...what does rabbit meat taste like and where do you take the rabbits to be processed?

after reading about the pink slime and reading what you guys have said I am totally on board with getting a meat grinder.:thumbsup :woot

Is it better to get them as chicks and raise them yourself or just to get an adult?

Me too...glad i am not the only one. Now i don't feel like such a big baby

I can't wait to get my chickens...any suggestions on the breed i should get? I live in georgia and my 3 year old will be helping me a good bit so i want to find one that is pretty laid back

Don't forget about goodwill and other thrift stores. We are on a budget around here and I was able to luck up and find almost everything I needed at goodwill. So far so good and for a price that didn't hurt my wallet.

how do you dry a pot of soup? I have never heard of that before but it sounds cool...can think of a few soups i would like to try that with

My husband and I have been talking a lot as of late about what we want to do when we move. We want a root cellar and were thinking...would the ice in an ice box last longer if the box were in a root cellar? It is already cool down there so it makes sense to us but then again we aren't experts...

Well it is not like my family and I have never ducked down behind a bush or anything if we really had to go (my 3 year old loves to whip it out in public and water the bushes...much to my horror)

This is so cool! It is something I am going to try. Thanks for the link

This makes me very VERY glad that I will be homeschooling my little man.

That is unreal! Sounds like something the cops in my town would do.

We live in the south so summers can get pretty hot around here. Not looking forward to that smell...not really sure where the water source is yet...it is a property we are just now looking at.

What I make isn't super thick.

if someone wanted to go off the grid, how far away from your home are you supposed to put an outhouse? and how ofter are you supposed to move it?

ok I have a question and it may be a stupid one but I am new to all of this. I make Brunswick stew pretty often...I was wondering if I can Can it to put back for later insted of having to pull out the crock pot all the time. Does anyone know how?
