There are several ways to keep eggs fresh but this might be the tastiest. Homemade freezer burritos with bacon, eggs, and ham. We’re putting our eggs back now so we can eat them all winter long when the chickens stop laying eggs. 🍗 FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer: https://amzn.to/3DoHDxV 🍗 FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer Bags: https://amzn.to/43uZH40 **Amazon affiliate link.

However, with fall and winter approaching it won’t be long before egg laying stops when chickens enter their natural state of dormancy. Hens lay their eggs based on the amount of daylight they get each day; shorter days mean fewer eggs, but they pick back up in the spring when the days start getting longer. Some people like to supplement their chickens with artificial light in the winter but we prefer not to do that, and therefore in the winter we get fewer (or no) eggs for a period of time. Since we’re getting upwards of 20 eggs per day right now, and there’s no way we can eat or sell all of them, what do we do? While we have frozen many eggs in food grade plastic dishes (which will be great for baking around Thanksgiving and Christmas) we wanted to try something new. While scrolling social media Megan came across people making freezer burritos so eggs could be enjoyed months later, so we decided to give it a try. For us this is a great solution because 1) it is simple and 2) burritos are delicious! And they are easily customizable to various tastes. I like food spicy but Megan lives life on the mild side, and while she doesn’t like sausage I eat just about anything. She was able to make bacon, sausage, and ham/Canadian bacon burritos that we can enjoy throughout the winter and will make excellent grab-and-go breakfast items. Speaking of grab-and-go, I bet these would taste amazing in a deer stand….. Thanks for watching this video! If you enjoyed it please hit the “like” button and share the video with a friend.

Evening chores on our small family farm, talking about why @MattWalsh (or really his wife) wants goats and why ours would be the perfect addition to their home. 🔔 Subscribe for more from the farm! https://www.youtube.com/c/GWPHomestead?sub_confirmation=1 ➡️ Shop our Amazon Storefront for farm essentials and our favorite odds and ends: https://amazon.com/shop/gwphomestead This time of year most of our farm chores get done in the cool of the day. When the heat index is over 100°F we’re lucky if we can get outside before the sun goes down. When we do, however, it is magical, and that golden hour of the day leaves us just enough light to knock out chores before we have to get the flashlights out. On the agenda for this evening was banding two of our bucklings from the spring kidding season. Banding is our preferred method of castration, which is necessary if you want to be 100% certain their genes don’t get passed on. Goats are notorious escape artists and when it comes to breeding they’re determined little critters. Castration ensures that there are no accidents. Now that Bucky and Cap are wethered they officially become pets-with-a-purpose. Wethers are great additions to your farm because goats are herd animals and always need one or two companions, and if a goat ever needs to be isolated from the rest of the herd you can keep a wether with them with no risk of accidental breeding. It just so happens that right before we started our chores Megan made an interesting discovery while browsing the internet. Matt Walsh, a popular political pundit, had made a post on his social media page that unbeknownst to him his wife was looking into goats. Boy if that doesn’t sound familiar; it has happened to us and it may have happened to you, too. Apparently, he has “lost” every battle in his house when it comes to animals – dogs, chickens, whatever else – but he’s convinced it won’t happen with the goats. Suuuuure it won’t. It just goes to show that chickens truly are the homestead gateway drug. You bring them home with the anticipation of “free” eggs and before long you’re buying acreage and trying to grow your own food. Truth be told I can’t think of a better life. Matt, I want you to know that I have two adorably wonderful little guys who are ready to move on to another home. They’ll be perfect additions to your burgeoning homestead. Just let me know when you guys want to come pick them up. Thanks for watching this video!

The idea of having a self-sufficient homestead is appealing to many, but for us that phrase means something a little different. 🍗 FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer: https://amzn.to/3DoHDxV (affiliate link) 🍗 FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer Bags: https://amzn.to/43uZH40 (affiliate link) **When you shop using our link we receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.

Knowing that grocery store shelves can be empty in a matter of moments made us realize that we needed a better, more secure way to provide for our family. That’s not why we bought acreage (we were already hunting for a bigger place) but when we bought this farm we decided we could use it put food on the table. We really enjoy growing our meat. It is a lot of work but we enjoy the challenge and find that working with our hands has benefits that are hard to describe. However we can’t grow it all (at least not yet) so in the meantime we hunt for deals from our local butcher shops to stock up on things like chicken. It’s not as good as what we grow ourselves but until we get to the point where it’s all from the GWP Homestead it will do just fine. To us, self-sufficiency isn’t about growing everything we’ll ever need on our not-quite-10 acres. It’s about providing for our family so when things get a little sideways, be it natural disaster or worldwide panic, we know we’ll be ok. At least for a little while.

If someone tells you chickens need a vegetarian diet they are either A) not smart, or B) lying to you for some reason. Don't buy it. Chickens are omnivores and our flock thrives on a free range diet consisting of bugs, grasses, forbs, and the occasional turkey feather I guess. 🔔 Subscribe for more from the farm! https://www.youtube.com/c/GWPHomestead?sub_confirmation=1 ➡️ Shop our Amazon Storefront for farm essentials and our favorite odds and ends: https://amazon.com/shop/gwphomestead - Subscribe to our channel!

We butchered three broad-breasted turkeys for the first time ever! Lessons learned and will we do this again? 🔔 Subscribe for more from the farm! https://www.youtube.com/c/GWPHomestead?sub_confirmation=1 ➡️ Shop our Amazon Storefront for farm essentials and our favorite odds and ends: https://amazon.com/shop/gwphomestead 16 weeks ago we purchased three broad-breasted turkey poults. One of the goals we set for our farm this year was to raise the main course for the family Thanksgiving dinner. Broad-breasted turkeys grow very fast and at 16 weeks old they are ready to go in the freezer. We have butchered meat chickens before (earlier this year for the first time) and we were expecting turkeys to be about the same. There are a few differences to consider, mainly the size and the strength of the birds. Trying to wrestle a turkey to dispatch it sounds like a great way to break an arm, so we opted to use a .22 rimfire, which worked great. We couldn’t really use our scald pot setup or the chicken plucker we have, either, but we made do with what we have. When the turkeys were dressed out and in the freezer they came in at 19lbs (for the tom) and 14lbs (for the two hens). The meat looks amazing and we’re excited to try it out later this year! After raising these birds I think we’ve decided that next year we’re going to keep some around on a more permanent basis. We’ll get some variety of heritage breed and keep a tom and a couple of hens back and butcher the rest, and hopefully moving forward we can keep this up. I really enjoyed watching these turkeys act like turkeys; the hens would call and the tom would strut around, spitting and drumming just like a wild turkey. It was a lot of fun! If you’re interested in raising some of your food we have a few other videos on that matter and we’d appreciate it if you’d check them out.

So far this year we’ve been blessed with pretty moderate spring and summer temperatures, but that’s all about to change. And we preview the next farm project, an A-frame chicken coop made from reclaimed materials! 🔔 Subscribe for more from the farm! https://www.youtube.com/c/GWPHomestead?sub_confirmation=1 ➡️ Shop our Amazon Storefront for farm essentials and our favorite odds and ends: https://amazon.com/shop/gwphomestead When summer gets into full swing here in Kentucky we think one thing: humidity. So far this year we’ve been fortunate (although we could always use a little more rain) but it looks like a heat wave is on the horizon. Taking care of the animals requires a little more forethought this time as year as you try to accomplish a day’s worth of chores early in the morning so you can minimize the number of trips you make out into the sun in the middle of the day. Of course you have to make sure all the animals have everything they need as well, which is ample shade and plenty of clean water. It’s a lot of work, but really it’s not all that different than any other time of year – just a little hotter. Our new bottle baby Nubian goat, Elsa, is doing great and has made friends with Ricky the Wonder Dwarf. The two of them do butt heads over a bottle, though! And aside from fighting a couple of broody hens over and over and over and over each day, all the critters are doing well. The only animals we’re really worried about in the heat are our broad-breasted turkeys, but we think we have a solution on how to handle that (more on that later). We love our homestead life and we appreciate you coming along to hang out with us. Thanks for watching – see y’all soon! - Subscribe to our channel!

Goat kidding season on our family farm has wrapped up for the year. Let’s talk about it: the good, and the bad. 🔔 Subscribe for more from the farm! https://www.youtube.com/c/GWPHomestead?sub_confirmation=1 ➡️ Shop our Amazon Storefront for farm essentials and our favorite odds and ends: https://amazon.com/shop/gwphomestead Everything you do comes with an opportunity to learn and this kidding season was certainly no exception. This year was full of ups and down, trials, hardships, and of course celebration of things that go right. This year we lost several goat kids. In addition to that one of our does never settled, and another one miscarried a couple of months into her pregnancy. Death is part of life on a homestead but unfortunately it never gets any easier. We do our best to learn from mistakes we’ve made in the past and I think we can confidently say we’re getting better as we go along. Having experienced friends in this field (and every field, really) is a huge benefit and we’re thankful to have several people we can turn to when we have questions. Of course for all the things that went wrong there was plenty that went right, as well. We had several healthy kids born on the farm including an adorable Nubian doeling. We purchased her mom, Belle, as a bred doe from a local farm and she has quickly become one of Megan’s favorite milkers. In fact, that Nubian udder has Megan rethinking her entire dairy goat plan. Here’s the thing: there’s a lot of exciting stuff happening on the farm right now, including a (potential) new addition coming to the farm real soon.

The farm is getting a little dirty so we are building a free DIY pallet firewood rack and moving some fence posts out of the weeds.

I don’t like storing that roofing on the ground because the grass grows up around it and it becomes an eyesore, plus it’s a place for snacks to hang out and become a safety hazard where my kids like to play. Today I build a couple of firewood racks from pallets and I’ll store the metal roofing on top of that. No more mowing around the panels and I can work on cleaning up the mess that’s been building in front of my shop, too. While we’re into this I decided to drag an old trailer out of the weeds to store some fence posts off the ground. Eventually this trailer will become a goat hauler (unless we change our minds) but at present it’ll be one less thing I have to watch out for when I’m mowing. Trailers work better when the tires have air in them and these were in pretty rough shape. Before this thing is roadworthy those old dry-rotted tires will need to be replaced but for around-the-farm use they will do just fine. Thanks for hanging out with us today!
