I’ll give you the recipe first, and then explain the world of hair as I’ve come to know it within the last year. Because I usually never read the backstory of why a recipe came to be, I just want to jump right in. However, you should read a little background about why you’re about…

The “Keto” (No Waste) Life of RAW Milk!
Sometimes in the wee hours of the night, my brain is restless and I scour the internet looking to see if I can do something… ANYTHING that isn’t of the standard “norm.” It started with cheese. Mozzarella cheese. When I quit my job in September, my homestead/homemaking skills blew up! I wanted to make, create,…
Painting Peaches
Our majestic peach we purchased 4 years ago, produced fruit the first year, then produced what should have been fruit, but failed to ripen the second year.

After a few months crammed into an oversized storage bin (they had more than the recommended amount of room, trust me), our not-so-little ducklings are moving on up!
Duck Update!
Hear ye, hear ye! I’d like to announce that we have 2 drakes and 2 hens here at Ferngully! Our not-so-little ducklings are now roughly 4 months old. One more month, and maybe we’ll have our first egg (fingers crossed).
Fermented Fabulousness!
Beyond alcohol, there is a fermented craze happening. Everything from fermented veggies to kefir water to apple cider vinegar to kombucha. The newest ways to satisfy gut health is slowly becoming a revolution (seriously, stop eating commercial yogurt, though[there is waaay too much sugar and not enough probiotics]). You can be a part of this gut health…
