This Elderberry Syrup Kit Recipe is the easiest, and tastiest way, to make your own Elderberry Syrup at home. These kits have elderberries and rose hips that are harvested from here on the homestead and in the wilderness areas of Idaho. It doesn't get more organic than that. Here is Jamie giving a demonstration on making one of these kits into a wonderful syrup for you and your family. If you are interested in purchasing a kit check us out at www.elderberrykit.com or www.clearwatervalleyfarms.com.

This was one of the longest days on record. We had major rains and flooding upriver from our home, followed by massive mudslides up and down the rive near our home including at the bottom of our driveway. That was followed by a lambing that caught us off guard, and one lamb that we had to do some serious work to save. All this and more here on My Homestead Education. Enjoy.

Here Jamie is showing us how she makes Arnica oil, and we make arnica cream and gel with this for muscle pain and bruises. Well, Arnica Oil is an herbal oil extract that is used topically for bruises, swellings, joint pain, inflammation, and sore muscles. It is excellent for relieving the itching and swelling of insect bites. You can reach out to us and try some yourself, as we will have some Arnica oil available for sale right now.

This is our first time lambing, which happened back in April. Here at My Homestead Education, we really do learn, first hand, how things are done, and it isn't always easy. As you will see, we had some ups and downs here, and a lot of learning going on. The hard part about looking back is, we could have known what to do, had we even known what questions to ask ahead of time. If you are new to homesteading, gardening, raising animals, cooking...anything we do here, most of the time, you are going to see what it is like for a first timer, just like you. Some times we feel a bit embarrassed, but the truth is, we shouldn't be. When you are new at something your just new, and don't know yet how things are done. So if you are looking for a learning experience, with all the details of lambing, and maybe some details you don't want, here it is, all wrapped up in one heck of a classroom called life. This is our experience with our first lamb. Enjoy. Like. Share. Subscribe!
