My husband watched your video for the first time, he wanted you to know that your children were well behaved, they reflect the parents, awesome 🙂❤
Oookay lmaooo
Having watch for more than five minutes, and that’s the first thing I’ve noticed. Your children are well behaved… Yes I’m impressed! keep up the good work!
Who does your husband think he is? Tell him to worry about his boyfriends kids
I think you'll find _most_ children will be well-behaved when they know the camera is trained on them, and they know it's ultimately destined for youtube!
Yes, I agree, they are a compliment to their parents. Kinda rare these days.
Cheesemaking starts at 9:02
I make a farmers cheese that lasts about a week or so in the fridge. It's great to use as a cream cheese substitute. I use 1/2 gal. of (room temperature) pasteurized, cultured buttermilk, (not UHT) add 1 Tbsp. lemon juice, stir well and pour into 2 pyrex bowls. Covering it with a lid or parchment paper. I then bake it (from a cold oven) at 225° F for about 30 minutes. Turn off the oven and let it come to room temperature. I skim off the curds with a slotted spoon into cheese cloth and let it hang about an hour. Then I salt it, stirring well. I've also added herbs or a small amount of fruit jam for variety. Like l said it only lasts about a week or two but we eat ours up quick because it's so yummy. I added this recipe because I don't shop online and don't have access to rennet or calcium chloride and have found this recipe to be easy to make with what I have on hand. Blessings to you all.
Sounds lovely!
Thank you for sharing this
I made farmers' cheese once, but it only lasted, like an hour... ❤️🤣
Thank you!
I make something similar. You can also use white vinegar instead of lemon. I bring mine to heat on the stove and then cut the heat add the vinegar and let set. Quarter cup vinegar to one gallon milk.
I'm in the UK, we have just spent a week on the island of Jersey, its in the channel Islands between the UK and France, the Milk, cream, butter that the Jersey cows produce is so good, they also produce some of the best new potatoes in the summer called Jersey Royals
Jersey's are the best. What a great experience you had.
We had a brilliant time, and found out when we got home that our milkman can supply us with Jersey Butter, Cream and milk from a farm not to far from us that has a herd of Jersey Cows 😊
Did you know that you can’t buy/grow those amazing Jersey potatoes anywhere else.I really miss them now I’m not in the UK
When we use to milk cows, the extra milk was used to “water” the potatoes.. it made them fluffy and very white when cooked.. also the extras would also be fed to the pigs.
That’s awesome y’all have raw milk in the grocery stores! It’s illegal here.
Where is here?
@@stephanie53127 Louisiana. You can’t even have a herd share here.
@@BereanBaker that so wrong what if you have few family's that join in together to by half a cow or whole one helps if some one in the group know how to prosses the meat makes it cheaper for every one
Indiana too
Illinois to
Amazing that you have raw milk in your grocery store!!! That's the way it should be 🥛💗
That would be the difference in state laws, in Indiana it's illegal to sell raw milk so you have to keep your own goats or cow if you want raw milk. It varies widely state by state.
@@aroundthefarmcrafts3192 Yeah I'm in Ontario Canada 😉 we have our own goats now, raw milk for the win!
Can you use dried milk?
@@gowest5145 Use dried milk for what?
@@gowest5145 dried milk is usually fat free. You need the fat (cream) to make the cheese
For us newbies, you didn’t explain what a “culture” is or how to get/make it; please explain.
Probably so that you will purchase the courses to learn the specifics
Carolyn, I enjoy all of Homesteading Family's content here on YT but can I just say how lovely this video was! Seeing your family and your day to day in a vlog style video is very refreshing. I would love it if these made regular appearances. :)
I agree, I love seeing the day to day stuff too
Me three😂
What kind of culture are you adding?
Gosh your kids are well behaved! It’s so nice to see a mum who’s calm, and has kids, who aren’t fighting, every single second. What a GREAT job you and your hubby have done!
your comment isn't very love and light even if you wanted it to be perceived like that. Children are children, whether they act out or not, it's normal, it's natural. Sometimes my kids are model citizens and sometimes they're not so you saying that the job is well done when they act a certain way is such a limited and sad way of looking at things. Please dont have kids.
I was just thinking the same, they have a bus load of kids and they're all well behaved.
Kids will be kids. Sometimes in an embarrassing moment. But, it's all good.
You're so lucky you are able to get raw milk, even in your grocery store.
Up here in Canada we had a farmer near Toronto who had cow shares in his dairy herd. What happened, hus farm was raided, he was arrested, he was charged (for selling raw milk), went to court, found guilty, went to jail, almost lost his farm.
Welcome to Chinada, home of democracy, NOT!
Get rid of the n0tssees!!! Trudy is as bad as Ped0j0e!
Cracked me up to see you counting the kids to make sure you had them all❤️! I only had two and forgot one in Wal-Mart one time (I didn’t get out of the parking lot before we realized) lol!
😂I have 3 thankfully I havent forgot anyone in a store BUT I have forgot that one was at her friends house and I kept knocking on her door telling her it was dinner time 🤣
I'm the oldest of 8 kids. We always did a head count.
My mom forgot me at tractor supply once...she got halfway home before my sister said anything 🤦🤣
It was fine though I just hung out with the chickens and helped people find stuff until she got back...I didn't have a cell phone but I was kinda used to being forgotten places and just waited until she came back 😅
LMAO!!!
Thank you for the teaching, and the fine example of a simple country family life, together…Mother and Father had nine children, born in 11 years, no twins. Seven girls and two boys, of which I am one. Next to the baby! We were raised on a ranch, and had three registered Guernsey cows, among all the other animals. They were beautiful milk cows, Bessy, Fanny and Flossey…..We, one of my brothers and one of my sisters and I, usually did the milking…all by hand…while Mother sanitized the gallon jars and got everything ready for straining the milk. We brought in about 12 gallons a day, and the milk was so rich, about half of the gallon, was pure cream. It was so delicious, it was wonderful! Mother set huge jugs of milk, by the wood heater, and from it made, buttermilk, butter, cottage cheese, with part of it, and with the other, She would skim off part of the cream and make whip cream, milkshakes, and Home Made Ice Cream! She loved making the Ice Cream! She liked to make new flavors…Mother made great Ice Cream! Everything from black walnut, to strawberry, pistachio, chocolate, strawberry, peach and apricot, blackberry and maple nut…whatever was available, And puddings, which we had for breakfast, often! She always said, it was just eggs and milk, and other good ingredients….She also sold milk a dollar a gallon, and bought me an old piano from a friend and customer, when I was 15…I loved her generous, kind ways…but the most important thing she did, almost daily, with all that she had to do, was to remind us, to “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God, for Christ’s sake, forgave you.” Ephesians 4:32. 💞
What a wonderful Mother you had♥️
🙏🏽
Thank you for sharing that! Wonderful!
Like you, we had a lot of children. Our Mother had 7 children in 8 years. 5 boys and 2 girls. Then 6 years later I was born. 10 months after that, our Father died, leaving her with 8 children between the ages of 15 years and 10 months of age. She got $150.00 a month because our Father served in World War 1.
Only the oldest 2 boys didn't graduate from High school, but the rest of us did. All of my Brothers served our Country. We had a farm, but no cow. We got milk wonderful milk from our Aunt Bessie and Uncle Henry Shepard. It was hard, but I loved my life. Still do, I got the old Home place, when we children divided the land! GOD bless
Very well explained. Thank you!
So fun to see such beautiful, healthy farm raised children! It's so satisfying :) Thanks for the great video. It's amazing to see how much more milk variety there is available in your American grocery store verses our Canadian stores. Very poor selection here. We're so grateful that we're able to live off the land like you folks are doing. Blessings!
Not all American stores. I'm trying to figure out where they live, so I can buy there. Sadly, I think I know & there's no way I can afford it. :/
Where do you purchase your
Rennet and calcium chloride.
Thank you
As much as I enjoy the Pantry Chat and classroom format, I like this vlog style a lot too! It makes me happy to see you and your beautiful children. :) God bless your family!
This brings back such great memories from my childhood. I'm the oldest of 8 children and going "to town" was always an adventure. I was always counting heads whenever we would go somewhere. There were two incidents I remember leaving someone behind. We had a diry about 5 miles away. We brought our own jugs and it was a dollar a gallon. It was the best milk ever! Anyway, thanks for the video. Im getting on the waitlist for sure!! Looking forward to the class! Much love to you and your family!!💙🌎✌
You really have to read the labels on everything these days. I live in Canada, usually buy organic dairy but my store was out of organic cream. So I grabbed a container of non organic 35% cream. Good thing I read the label. It contained, thickeners and sodium benzoate. The only ingredient should be 100% cream and NOTHING else. Back it went.
GOD'S BLESSINGS ON YOU AND THE FAMILY 👪 🙏 THANK GOD FOR BLESSINGS LIKE Y'ALL 👍
Sweet family…. The cheese making starts at 9:05
Thenkbfor that, couldn't get through the beginning 🙈
I am sensitive to dairy. I sneeze and get all congested in my sinuses. I love cheese!!!!! It's so hard to not eat it!!! Raw milk looks so wonderful to work with! I'm in Minnesota so I guess you can get it from a farmer at their farm and you need to bring your own container. I'd love to make cheese for my family!
I've been wanting to make cheese forget, but life keeps happening and sidetracked me from doing so. Hopefully this will come to fruition! What supplies will I need to get before the class?
Can granule calcium chloride be used instead of liquid ?
What a wonderful grocery store. In Virginia you cannot purchase raw milk from the store or from a farmer (unless for feeding animals) You must be in a herd share to make it legal. Unfortunately, the herd shares are prohibitively expensive. So, I’m really glad to learn we can use regular pasteurized milk for cheese.
Same in NC
Can't buy raw milk anywhere in Canada. Crazy
Same in Colorado, there is no difference in "for feeding animals" talk to the farmer, they have to market it that way. We bought it for over a year and it was really good. It was a two hour round trip so that is why we stopped.
Thank you so much for this video! We don't have livestock yet and I've tried several times to make cheese from store-bought milk and I think some of these tips will help me finally find success!!
Hahaha...I had 6 kids and yes, market day was something and always a trip to the park to feed the ducks...🥰🥰🥰...wonderful memories...lol
Thank you so much! As usual, your explanations are so soothing, as well as thorough.
And what a lovely bunch of kids!
I enjoyed your milk & cheese information almost as much as seeing your beautiful family!!! 🥰
Ok this is the first time I have ever watched one of your videos. I want to learn how to make cheese myself. So here I am. But when you said load the crew up. I didn't know you literally have a whole crew of children! What a lovely family.
Wish raw milk wasn't illegal in my state :(
It is here too,but there are ways around it.😉
Where are you?
I think I heard it's illegal in parts of Canada too. I wonder if she could use goat milk instead it's got more nutritional value I think and is more digestible.
@@AnnaLVajda she said you could use goat’s milk, too
I live in the dairy state and raw milk is illegal.... it is soo frustrating. bbuttt as stated above, you can usually "find some"😃
Thank you for this video so many people make cheese videos having access to raw or unpasteurized milk . but never make video on store bought
3 years later- I am watching this... thank you for doing something real and recognizing not everyone can afford to have or work a farm but want to do as much home cooking and preserving as possible!
Can you use half and half or cream from the grocery store to make cheese?
You can! Try to stay away from the Ultra-Pasteurized though. That won't turn out well!
Here in Canada, it’s illegal to buy and sell raw milk!
You are such a natural beauty! Stunning smile and your eyes are just GORGEOUS! 🥰 I love watching your videos and genuinely appreciate your willingness to share your wisdom and knowledge. One of my very favorite homestead channels!
Seriously? How can anybody place dislikes on something so wholesome and positive? Stop being oxygen thieves
Triggerd liberal Californians get upset when they see someone shopping without masks. 😌
Thanks for your cheese making video's. Today is my first visit to your video.
Shalom
Blessings from Durban North, South Africa.
Great video. You sort of skipped over the culture part. What kind of culture? Do you buy it? If so, what brand? What do we look for when searching for culture? How much culture? Thanks?
TY for this simple vid. Awesome gift to the newbie cheese makers!
In our state, we can only buy raw milk for pet consumption. Our non-existent dog loves her/his raw milk. 😜
Unfortunately in Washington State raw milk is illegal to be sold 😭
I love “field trips” they are so much fun:)
I've never made cheese before so when you say your adding the culture what are you adding?
Thank you for making this I didn't know you could make this from store bought milk !!!!
What did you use as culture? I am assuming that the calcium chloride and rennet can be found online
Pretty sure she used buttermilk but many asked her the question, I think u have to join her class to find out. 🤔
Can we have the measurements for the 2 gallons of Milk and the brands of Culture and rennet you use? This is wonderful!! Does the process change for Mozzarella cheese?
Sorry for my ignorance but this is the first time I’m trying to make cheese . By the way I love your station . My question is what is your CULTURE ? Can you buy it at a health food store , or do you make it . Thank you
Old farm boy here. With all the degeneracy front and center on the internet (drag quean shows for kids as an example), how refreshing to see family normalcy as still a thing.
P.S. Can one even imagine the honor system in the hood? as they strip store shelves in the cities where criminality is celebrated.
I would love to take the cheese class but being retired and fixed income cańt afford it too bad I didn’t see this 2 years ago. Love your channel
Love the video; off to our raw milk dairy farmer.😊😊Your children are incredibly blessed to grow up on the farm with loving parents.
I have noticed that whole milk is only 3% cream now. This might just be in my area.
Why didn't you tell what the "culture is? Also you left out steps without explaining. Not helpful..
Thanks, for sharing Were in the Midwest we buy(pastured A2 milk & eggs for $ 1.50 a gallon/doz.
Those are great prices! I’m from Ohio and in my area eggs are around $2-4/dozen and the raw milk (only through herd-share) comes to about $6/gallon. I buy non-homogenized milk that’s been vat pasteurized from a local farm for $4.
Wow...that’s incredibly good prices!! Here in Maine pasture raised eggs run $4-$7 doz. We raise both organic layers and meat-birds; the meat-birds fetch about $27-$40 per 4-6 lb bird at market; we pick up our raw milk at the farm for $6.50 gallon. A2 raw milk is nearly impossible to find, a small dairy up north 3 hrs sells it but it’s pricey at nearly $10 gallon. Nothing here is cheap, it’s beautiful country but everything is so expensive.
@@Ourlittleredfarmhouse Thanks, we feel our prices here are cheaper than we can raise the animals... We do raise grass fed beef, though.
Yea, raw sold in the store is a no no in NC. (Don’t know why either.) we can’t even buy it from a farmer unless it’s for animal use.
All these things you know. also, canning. They are becoming a lost art. Thanks.
What kind of electric burner do you have?
What a beautiful family!!!! Thanks for sharing your skills and knowledge!
I love when you said "WOW I think we better get one of those!"
Wow... you have raw milk in your store! I'm so jealous.
our stores have it but its like eight dollars a gallon
I just want to say I love ur videos I'm cali raised in the city of Los Angeles moved to indianana last year it's been a dream of mine to homestead and ur tips have been so wonderful The Lord continue to bless and keep ur a blessing to many people.. I also like to say I love how modest and girly u dress ur girls in cali it's hard to see girls look like girls truly an example for today's world
So awesome! I'll have to pay more attention when I go to the grocery store ❤ And I recently inquired about raw milk share from a local farm! Thank you and God bless
I just love your videos 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😇 thank you
Good morning. Love the follow along and with the family. 🥰
Would love to know where you got your extra burner
I love your channel. Thank you for all you share.❤
Do you perhaps know how they used to make cheese in the early days when they couldn't purchase prepared cultures etc?
Enjoyed this video not sure I’m ready to make cheese but it sure was awesome watching you make it. Have a blessed day. Lisa@moneypit homestead
Great info. 🧀! We live far from town too. We keep an iced cooler in the van on food shopping day so all cold and frozen things stay cold. We used to get raw milk from a farmer who was threatened by the “industry” and was forced to stop selling. Was $1 per gallon. 😕.
Of all the things I've been inspired to learn.....making my own cheese wasn't one of them, because I just presumed it would be too hard. Hopefully you'll prove me wrong Carolyn! 🤪👌🙏
Great job with your kids, they are well behaved and educated. Great parenting 🙏🏼
I'm hoping you're going to explain the ultra pasteurized thing....
And I'm also really really wondering where you live that they can actually sell raw milk!!
Ive watched you guys since dream cheese....... amazing video and outcome from following your instructions..... can you do dream cheese out through this process
Great information raw is not an option in our state …ridiculous regulations need to do some bartering with a farmer…
Where in the world are you?! I'm in Texas and we cannot have raw in grocery stores or farmers markets. We can buy herd shares and pick it up at the dairy and that's it. They're still licensed and inspected by the state also. The only local raw grade A dairy in my area had to close and I would LOVE to have raw available in stores.
We are in North Idaho.
Ok for people that don't know what culture or renant is we are lost.
Ps, the cows don't produce the potatoes 😂
You totally inspired me to see if there is a local farm near me where I could buy raw milk.💜
It would be helpful if you could put in the description were you purchase every thing your using …… so we can find the same . Thank you 🙏🏻
I have watched many of your videos first Thank you ☺️
My sister and you are a lot of a like and oddly you 2 look alike.
My sister only has one child though she has a heart shaped uterus that makes it hard to have any, the one child they had she called Grace, because by the grace of God she carried her to term.
I wish I could post a photo for you of her.
We both do all that you do I homesteaded 27 years but still love it. Thanks again for all that you do. Holly
What brand is your electric burner?
I'm amazed at how many raw versions you have! Here it is only the rare health food store that carries it, and only for pet consumption..... and it tastes sour, not like raw milk should taste.
I love how nice you all look to go to town!! I can’t wait to spend a day with my crew making dairy products !
Cheese is so hard! Thank you for making this video!
You guys make me proud to call Idaho home. May God bless your family and channel.
Thank you sweet momma...I always learn so much from you and I just adore your gorgeous farm crew.
@10:40ish You said add your culture in. What is that?
I love your instructional videos but where do you get the things that you added to the milk?
Thank you for this video
Amazing that you can have raw milk in stores! What state are you in? We are waiting for our jersey to be in milk but in the meantime I am going to try this!
When you say add our culture, what do you mean?
Where do you get your cultures
Try cultures for health or New England cheesemaking supply company. The latter will have much more supplies.
Man, I wish we had raw milk in our stores!!! :(
Goodnessme you have a big family,I have 2of my own and 2 of step children,now grown up and kids of their own.I found I had to make my own ,or go look for bargins.Taught my kids how to shop....they taught my grandkids .But these days I like to experiment wiith new cooking idears......and love to it store it away ,or give to the family....who love it.
The first thing I noticed is how good a job you have done raising your children. I'm 61, and I don't behave that well in the store. I may try cheese making.
No Raw Milk in Texas :(. We have to go to a farm.
Sometimes the farmer comes to you in Texas...
@@widepathdropout Well, have not found one in Ausitn, that will do that yet.
We got to a dairy farm in Waxachachie to get raw milk and it’s awesome! It’s set up just like she shows on here.
Would it be good to start out with actual buttermilk or is the buttermilk what must be added to plain milk in order to go to the next steps toward curds?
I have always disliked buttermilk to drink, but love it for cooking! So instead of buying buttermilk and being wasteful, I just use lemon in sweet milk to cause it to clabber! Works like a charm!
Adding in the calcium… does that mean the store milk claiming to be “calcium and Vit D Fortified” is still less than what is normally found in raw milk?
Less bioavailable for sure
Homogenization binds the calcium to fat molecules making the calcium difficult to use by the body.
She says it's to replace some of it that is lost in the heating process from pasteurizing the store bought milk...
Not to be ugly but.... I just want the recipe. I found myself fast forwarding past y'all getting into your van.... ECT.... Love you but just want the recipe... 😌
Raw milk is illegal to sell in West Virginia.
Hi! When you add the culture, what is the culture? Thanks for answering.
This video is a great help
