Wow. Just wow.
.
This is how I feel every time I look at the pantry shelves, filling slowly but surely, bit by bit.
.
Summer’s bounty + hard work (and plenty of hot sweaty days in the kitchen) means my family will eat like kings all winter long.
.
It’s such a blessing to know these skills and get to pass them along.
.
Sign up for my newsletter (link in bio) so you know when the next homesteading/self-sufficiency class is happening here at Belvedere Farms and you too can start filling those pantry shelves with goodness.

Don’t put out that fire.

Can I hear an AMEN?
Just tell me one thing: Team Lake or Team Ocean?
.
Me? Lake. All the way. Nothing in the lake wants to kill me. 😱

Just like that, canning season has officially begun.
.
I drove down to the vet’s to pick up meds for a sick heifer and since it takes me right through Amish country, I couldn’t resist stopping at a farm just off the road to pick up 10 quarts of small but luscious berries (the small ones are sweetest, I think).
.
Harvested rhubarb from the garden and a couple hours later : strawberry rhubarb jam.
.
When you’re filling shelves for the winter, every little bit counts.
.
Are you making jam this year? What’s your favorite fruit to use for jam? I loooove apricot jam, but have a hard time finding local apricots here in Ohio. If you know of a source - spill the beans!🤣

It may seem like a small thing, but it always makes my heart happy to look out the window and see the cows grazing in the pasture.
.
It took a lot of work to get here, and takes a lot of work to stay here, but working hard for something you love isn’t a burden. Instead it builds confidence, self-respect, resilience, and stamina.
.
Go, friends. Work your tails off at work worth doing. And stop every now and again to take stock of all you’ve accomplished and all you’ve learned. It’ll blow your socks off and give you the gumption to do the next hard and worthwhile thing.

Every farm needs a barn cat. We’ve noticed a hug

Every farm needs a barn cat. We’ve noticed a huge difference between the years we’ve had barn cuts and the years we haven’t. They’re essential.
.
And yet, I’m pretty sure my kids all think we keep barn cats for the kittens.
.
There’s a new litter every spring and so far we’ve always been able to give enough away to keep from being overrun. Their momma, Scout, is a phenomenal mouser (and catches birds and squirrels and chipmunks too) and earns her keep many times over.
.
So much so that when she decides to give birth, she finds a spot in the basement and we let her come and go as she pleases while the kittens are teeny. That in itself is a testament to her place on the farm.
.
Are you team barn cat? How many do you have?

Baby pigs are go getters right from birth. After only a few seconds, they’ll squirm their way around to momma’s belly and start looking to nurse.
.
They’ll continue to nurse and jostle for position, figuring out limbs and joints and muscles as they go.
.
More piglets will join the party and they’ll keep at it the whole time the sow is in labor.
.
A good sow is very careful about her body and positioning, even in labor. She’ll try hard not to move too much or change position or roll over because those piglets are so little and so vulnerable and can so easily be crushed.
.
To give her an extra hand, we like to stay close while she labors and keep an eye on the wee piggies. They’re a joy. To watch and the whole process is life-affirming and so sweet to be apart of.
