What do you do when there are wildfires, and toxic levels of smoke blankets everything around? In this video I go thru a couple of things that will help your animals during times like this. Heavy smoke for long periods of time is dangerous to your health, and the health of your animals. Poultry have very sensitive respiratory systems that are easily compromised, whether it is too much dust or, as in our case right now, too much smoke. The wildfires on the west coast, including one just 10 miles from our homestead, has blanketed most of the United States in smoke, and the closer you are to the fires, the heavier the smoke. We have been in an unhealthy to dangerous level of smoke now for over a week, and we are doing everything we can to help our poultry, sheep and calves.

Fall is suddenly upon us, and it is bringing winter with it, so it is time to harvest everything we have left in the garden and get it put back into the pantry. This year has been, well, interesting to say the least. 2020 has been the year of the crazy, and our garden is no exception. We planted late (mid to late July) and our sheep got in and ate all the peppers nearly down to the ground. We have enjoyed a lot of lettuce, tomatoes, peppers and squash throughout the late part of the summer, but we needed to get all of our garden harvested. In fact, the next day we had snow and sleet, and the lows were in the upper 20's.

Finding ways to make money on the homestead is something we are always seeking out. I have sold some firewood in the past, but just recently, I received an order for 8 cords of Doug Fir, and that is what we are trying to get done. In this video, we find about half to 2/3 of the trees we need to fill the order...now the hard work starts.

This week we celebrated an annual gathering we do with friends called Sukkot. And this year, a friend of ours joined us and brought his tractor to help grade out our driveway aaaaannnnd, he had just one problem...he flipped it. Praise the Father above he is okay, and walked away with some soreness and one little scratch on the tractor. Here we are flipping over his tractor and getting back on all fours. This is a Kioti Tractor. I have considered getting many different tractors, but have not done so at this point. Trying to decide if I want more like a Bobcat Compact Tractor, Kioti, Kubota, John Deere or Massey. There are many brands, sizes and uses to consider. Also, it seems every 10 years or so the quality of one of these brands changes, whether for the good or the bad. Hopefully I can get one soon.

We have begun harvesting elderberries for our Elderberry Syrup Kits. We have kicked off this years harvest with 140 pound elderberry harvest, that will be dehydrated and added with other ingredients to make our different Elderberry Herbal Syrup Kits. Our family loves driving the backroads of the forest and wilderness areas of Idaho, looking for wild elderberries, that we use to make syrups, jellies and wines. This year, we are harvesting in heavy smoke from the California fires, Oregon fires, and Washington fires to our west, so opportunity to safely harvest these wonderful little berries is, so far, has been small windows. You can check out the different Elderberry Syrup Kits we offer, along with Garden Vegetable Seeds at www.clearwatervalleyfarms.com.

This was about 50+ pounds of salmon that we decided to smoke and put back for winter treats and eats. We did three different flavors, including BBQ, teriyaki, and plain smoked. This was a wonderful time together and a delicious way to prepare for the winter months. I hope you enjoy.

Getting Sweet Red Tomatoes instead of rotten tomatoes is a first step for many new gardeners. We do like the occasional fried green tomato, but getting those tomato plants to produce, and to be able to turn it into a delicious dining experience takes a little bit of work. One of the biggest, and easiest tips for this is trellising your tomatoes. Getting these beautiful vines off the ground and reaching for the sky is important, and it keeps those prized tomatoes noticeable instead of lying under a heap of vines and leaves and rotting in the dirt. In this video we are late to the party, but we are getting it done. We are getting ready for a late summer harvest of sweet tomatoes and we want all we can get. Looking at this mess, you would think we don't have any tomatoes, we don't even have a garden, we just have a jungle, but I promise you, underneath that jumbled mess is a bountiful harvest of delicious tomatoes ready to turn into sandwiches, canned goods, delicious soups, and fresh pizza toppings. We are nearing the end of our summer which means we are canning and putting food back like crazy, and we will be getting ready for our fall garden soon, which you can click on the link below to see more about what we will be doing there.

This year we harvested lots of little, immune boosting berries called Elderberries. We love the elderberry plant, and we love going into the wilderness to pick it. We have been making elderberry syrup kits and selling them online using these elderberries, along with 9 other ingredients. You can find these kits at www.elderberrykit.com. Elderberry plant has been used as medicine in many parts of the world for centuries, and is well known for immune boosting as well as anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties. Enjoy the views as much as we enjoyed harvesting these tiny berries. Thank you for watching. If you haven't already, please SUBSCRIBE and hit the notification bell to get future content.

This is the full length, unedited video of a six part series, documenting our first season picking blackberries for the market place. I like to call this the Diary of a Mad Blackberry Picker. The hours were long, and seemed never ending at times, but we had a great time, learned a lot, and grew closer as a family. We are hoping this is a start to a future of financial success here on the homestead, providing a living with the land and tools we have. It has been our dream for many years to be able to have several small businesses that we can raise our children in, teaching them the ins and outs of doing business, and working hard, and being able to take care of their families, whether or not anybody is hiring at that time. Making money at home is something many of us in this world want to learn how to do. Most of us desire to be home, spending that time with our family or enjoying our hobbies. Often times, jobs take us away from that and can often times shift our priorities away from our family leaving us wondering why do we do what we do. I hope this little Do It Yourself type of business video helps you find something that can help your family break free from the hustle and bustle of the rat race so many have been caught up in.

For years we have been trying to figure out how to make a living on our homestead. Making money from home can be a difficult endeavor for anyone, and it takes a lot of planning and research. We are not quite all the way there yet, but this year was a start in the right direction. We started with a produce that grows like a weed on our property and we made money with it. We had a business idea with small amount of capital. Our goal was to make 15-20% of our annual income in just 4 weeks. Watch this video series to see how we did.
