    Nope. We can guy organic raw cheese from artisans easily and fairly inexpensively. Can't buy raw organic milk, cream, yogurt, or ice cream though. That's our priorities. Grow the healthy foods we can't access.

    Awesome guys. Between the edible dairy products, the waste skim for pig food, the meat you can get from their calf each year, and the manure. It just makes my head spin how much money you are making by not having to buy all that stuff from the store. I know its a lot of work but I agree Justin it seems well worth it. Happy mothers day Rebekah.

    We've lived in Normandy,France for the last 15years now,(moved from London,UK). The French are like Eskimos and have 57 different words for "milk" and it's derivations, (don;t even get me started on the cheeses!). I'm still trying to decided what cultured cream would be! Creme Fraiche seems to be the closest, but not sure.......

    Hey Justin, what I do to make yogurt is to use what was left from the last batch. I heat the milk to 200 degrees in a large pan and let it cool to 110 degrees and add the left over yogurt. If you want thicker yogurt you can add powdered milk. Mix well and place in a cooler that is lined with a thick blanket at the bottom. I then fill a large plastic bottle or pan with hot water from the tap and place that into the cooler as well. Then wrap it with more thick blankets and close the cooler, I also like to put blankets over the cooler to keep in as much heat as well. Leave it over night and it should be done. I prefer this method as it saves on the electricity and you don't have to keep changing temperatures.

    Love it, that's a lot of good stuff. We went with smaller cows (Dexters) because my wife and I just can't consume that much and no pigs yet to assist. Any "Justin Wizard Math" to determine what and how many cows a family might need on a homestead? That information correlates to acreage and pastures required to grow healthy animals. So, I need a half acre per cow; 1 bull, 1 cow, 1 steer, and 1 baby = 2 acres per pasture. If I only have 3 acres how can I supplement their diet to maintain the health of the cow? Thanks again, have a beautiful Sunday!

    For making perfect yogurt first boil the milk then cool it a little bit not fully cool down it should me not warm but not too much hot then add 2 to 4 tbsp of previous yogurt and put it in warm place for 5 to 6 hours and then put it in the refrigerator overnight and you will get perfect yogurt like the store one

I can't tolerate raw milk because where I get it here in Italy, I'm not so sure I'm buying it fresh enough. My neighbor boils it, but then what's the use of that? Anyway, if I was younger and had a husband, haha, you bet I would have a cow haha. For real.
