Updates


Hey Folks! A lot has been going on at the house in the last couple of months. Here is a sampling of what we have been up to:


Our sunflowers bloomed.


We harvested the first of many batches of collard greens.

We trimmed the sea grape,

and built a three bin composter under it.

We made farmer's cheese out of goat milk.

Honey and walnuts, yum!

How to make Farmer's Cheese (Thanks to Angie Martin!)
  • Bring milk to just under a boil
  • Add vinegar or lemon juice (1 gallon of milk to 1/2-1 cup of vinegar/lemon juice)
  • Pour through cheesecloth and let drain to the consistency you want.
  • Add whatever extra ingredients you want to modify the flavor. We added honey, salt, and walnuts :)

'NUKKAH PARTY:

Latke's were fried.

"Life is full of light."

Friends gathered.

Faces were made.

Candles were lit in a complex seed tray menorah.
