Onion and garlic skins….

Have you tried using onion or garlic peels for skin conditions?
Save it and put in cheese cloth, a giant tea ball, clean sock or just strain it out-and boil in water for 15 mins. You can soak feet for athletes foot, soak a cloth for a poultice and put on irritated areas for couple minutes. Rinse and rinse repeat until you notice relief.
You can drink it for muscle cramps and a sleeping aid. Reduces cholesterol and strengthens your heart.
Crush the dried papery skins and add to home made bread dough for a mild flavor and nutritive additions. I use my mortar and pestle.
Take a peek at all the information online about the amazing health benefits of using the skins for your family’s health.
My idea, and I’m betting it’s already been done by someone, somewhere… is to combine dried pulverized skins with some other type of dense fibrous natural material and make paper out of it. I bet it can be done! What stories and ideas do you have?

Making Feed On The Homestead

Making feed for finishing out our beef calves, chickens, goats, and for our customers to feed their own livestock as well. You can buy our beef, eggs, raw milk and other products directly off our farm to your freezer or your family’s table. We do this fresh every week, using ONLY the grains we grow on our own farm ground right here locally in Tate county MS. Never any soy! You can count on us for a holistic, fresh, NON GMO product.

The eggs are coming back in… slowly ?

We are starting to get more and more eggs again. I’m not sure if it was the cheeky conversation I had with the girls a couple weeks ago or maybe the special feed mix I whipped up for them that got their booties back in gear but either way, we are all happy to see the results.

We are busy hatching out brand new baby chicks as well. Should have close to 60 new chicks to add to the flock by end of February. My goal is to expand my operation by a few hundred more by end of summer.

Speaking of hatching chicks, would anyone be interested to learn how to incubate and raise up your own chicks at home using fertile eggs? I’m going to offer a class on this here real soon. So grab your friends and get them ready to come with you, for a hands on approach to chick hatching. Watch my page for date/time announcement and your chance to sign up.
