Homesteading VLOG | turning a fridge full of milk into butter, mozzarella, ricotta, whey bone broth
Let's turn a few gallons of milk into cheese, butter, broth, and pie!
This day didn't go as planned and I was going to scrap this video, but Instagram told me to share it anyway - so here's a glimpse into a day that just didn't go my way - I was so scatterbrained all day!

I'm Steph, wife of John & mom of 4 living on a 5th generation homestead. My husband's great-grandparents bought this farm in rural Missouri in 1942. My husband was supposed to take the farm over after high school - but he decided to go a different direction and moved out on his own. At that time he said he'd never get married or have kids. But here we are - 4 kids later and back on the farm. I grew up in town - so farm life has been a new adventure for me and I absolutely love it. I'm learning as I go and opting out of as many broken systems as I can along the way. We've lived here almost five years now, we homeschool our kids here, raise and grow more of our own food all the time, and our last baby was even born here on the farm - my first home birth. Learn with me as I share glimpses into our life on the farm.

This brave gal is the future. God bless❤
love that you’re willing to share that things don’t always go as planned and it’s part of life to keep going and do the best you can anyway. You’re awesome - thanks for the inspiration! I’m watching a lot of your older videos since I only recently found your channel 😊
Who are you?!!!! Just found your channel and have never felt lazier 😂 you are an inspiration!! Anting to get up now and get things done but also want to watch more of your videos. I wish I knew you in real life. The world needs more people like you!
The mess ups and all just show us idiots that this isn’t impossible. It’s nice to see someone so honest showing your mistakes. Good ups and all can always be salvaged. Thanks!
Wow! So impressed with all the homemade/farming stuff you do in a day plus homeschooling your kids! 👏🏻 ❤ I just found your channel but glad I did🤗 so much inspiration on your channel
Thank you for sharing your struggles in the kitchen! It helps me
For a City Girl, you really have learned to master Farm Life. Your family has truly been blessed.
Everyone has their bad days. You did a great job! I would rather see the mistakes so that we feel that we don’t have to be perfect. Thank you for sharing!
I stumbled on your channel yesterday and really thank God for you. You are greatly blessed with knowledge and you so generously share it with us. This is my second video and it is so informative. You are a wife, a mother, a teacher, a farmer and you still have time to edit the videos- all with a cheerful face? How many hours is your day? You are inspiring very many with your example. Your family is blessed. If I was living in the US, I would offer to pay you to host my daughters for them to learn from you.
This is true homestead life. Love it and miss your videos!!
You did a good recovery, on your cheese making day. Good job!!!
Love a hot mess in someone else’s kitchen as it’s comforting to know it’s not just me! lol
Love this video..glad to know i am not the only one that has very off day's. Thank you for sharing
I appreciate all your recipies. I love that you make up your own ideas and use so much of the milk. I want to see you cook and bake on the cookstove. We have a kitchen Queen wood cook stove.
I just love, love your channel and just signed up for your newsletter! So excited!
Hi! New to your channel and I appreciate the time you take for your channel.
I love your vlogs! It gives me motivation to get my farm chores done as well
Amazing what cows can do for us. I’m exhausted watching you work. I bet you sleep good at night. I love cheese. I have a 2 year old Grandson who loves cheese. Couple ole mouses. Lol I use to order buttermilk in restaurants. Most younger wait staff didn’t have a clue., as to what is was. A little salt and pepper in it. Yum ! Buttermilk and cheese have gotten expensive. You are saving money. Good job Steph :)
Wow what you do in a day!!!
Amen to the food processor being the butter king 6 second flat done!
I’m jumped out of happiness when you said “Catechism” - because I was thinking how awesome it would be if this superwoman and super mom were catholic and you are!!!!! YAY what an inspiration! HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
Btw, not really a hot mess at all! Looks like it turned out awesome! Great channel you have here!!
Your very inspiring to watch thank you
So resourceful! Thank you for sharing!
I loved this! I thoroughly enjoy your channel! I really want to try to make butter now!

Nice to know other people have wierd days too good to keep going and seeing you still happy
Love watching your videos!!
Hello. I really enjoy your videos. I am a new subscriber. This video was so much fun, however it would be great to see another cheese making day with roasted chicken/ bone broth and another cream filling dessert. Many blessings my dear 🙏.. 😊
I have been there!! Where things just start to continue to go wrong!!! But keep on pressing forward, especially with cheese! So many times I thought I ruined my mozzarella and it turned out fine!!! Love this video!
So much pretty food! I love your big farm kitchen.
Just found your channel. Love it!
I like mixing baking soda and the liquid blue dawn soap, consistency to royal icing, cleaning stove tops, and especially the tub and showers.
Ty for sharing
I just found you, you are amazing, how I aim to live, you are an inspiration ❤
Can u make a video of all of your favorite kitchen gadgets and essentials? I’m just getting in to doing all these things and I would like to know what your favorite cheese cloth is are some better than others?
Love all your videos. Learning so much! I was wondering where you got that efficient and cute wooden butter board and butter paddle

@HopewellHeights even better ❤️
Love this video, thank you for sharing Steph. Couple questions: 1. can you share where you got the milking tins/tubs that you had the weigh in? Those look really handy! 2. Have you ever milked dairy goats and if so how does the raw milk recipe change with goat milk? We're getting nigerian dwarves and they should have more cream than other breeds but but as much as cows!! I'd love to be able to make things with cream however. How long can you keep the fresh cream in the fridge before it goes south? Is that faster or slower than the milk?
I love your videos and look forward to each one you post! ❤️ Do you make yogurt out of raw milk?
Whey ricotta facial 😂❤
Really excited about this. We have milk but I have never known what to do with it! Do you make yogurt?
I want to learn how to keep a stock pot of broth going most the time. Do you know how to do that? I love your style.
Curious of the whey with bone broth? Great idea! Any sour flavor notes? I'm assuming it'll be protein heavy protein? Not sure what protein does with heat. Great video! Just found you yesterday. Keep up the good work and sharing.
You are AMAZING, Im just blown away of how incredibly organised and creative you are, I sure do hope you have an incredible husband to match you, because lady you are just outstanding… 🌸🔥
Have you ever made ice cream, with some of your cream. I think that would be interesting 😉.
Hi Steph!! Are you using vegetable or animal rennet? Thanks! You are my biggest inspiration!

Hi! I use animal 😊
On one of your other videos you posted where you was from the city, that you didn’t grow up on a farm. How did you learn all this? I love the idea of the whey to make bone broth. I would never have thought of that. Do you have any books that you learnt about all this stuff? Love your videos

Yes I grew up in a subdivision mostly - but I have learned a lot here on KZread and from blogs!
Do you make your own Ghee? good to cook with.
Stephen your refrigerators look commercial. Can you tell me what kind it is and where to purchase it. It will mean the world to me. Thanks Lorraine
I love the size of your fridge and freezer! What brand is it?

Sub Zero - love them!
Will half and half work to make butter?
Can lemon Juice be used instead of Citric Acid?
How long does the butter and milk last?
Wow! So you can make bone broth with whey???
Very delisioso
I love everything you do on the farm. You must be really good with time management. Do you make any of your own clothes?
You must be Saved, because only Jesus can give you the strength of David. New sub here, I had to subscribe!!!🥰🥰😍
