Harvesting Our Wheat & Turning it Into Flour! 🌾✂️👩‍🍳 // Garden Answer 

Well said!!

She also knits 💖

Crafting & decorating also 👍

Energizer bunny for sure 😊

All this while raising children too.

Amen!

Heck yeah. I praise them every time I have to wash produce from my own garden. Especially lettuce, celery, and potatoes.

My dad was a farmer and yes very hard work. No one thanks a farmer face to face!

Ditto!!!

Thankyou to all our farmers. Every time I try and grow food. I thank a farmer

Yes, I am sure.

That’s ludicrous thing to say.

O_O i never knew that!

I love that

I was just thinking that, how fascinating to watch this. I’ll be watching this video again along with my 11 yr old, he’ll love it! 😍

Meanwhile at the grocery store...Wheat Flour $2.49/lb. 😂 Gives me a serious appreciation for what I can buy so easily without thinking about the work that went into it.

Something every school child should DO. Took ours out so they could learn all this. What a difference it has made in them!! Great video.

Hmmmm.. capitalism economic system is a lot of work just to get a few slice of bread 🍞 😋.. want some crumbs, anyone...?

​@@StarLight-sl9ok😅😅

Yes ,this is so

I'd love to the kinda home grinder you have, can you share a link? Thanks

Not our home. But the town has grinders

You can also soak the biscuit dough for a few hours, just the flour, fat, and liquid. Then add salt, baking powder/soda, and sugar if desired.

What do you mean...that the bran cuts the gluten strands ? If you don't mind explaining.

absolutely @@ramsrnja

​@@wingedinfinity6715 I'm assuming it means the tiny particles 'interrupted' the gluten from forming strands? Their presence prevented formation?

@@dethmaul Ahhhh ok, that went past me. Thank you.

Thank you for this valuable information. I had heard about the flour going bad quicker but utilizing the germ and bran is a great idea. Good to know some of the options available. 😊

That flour is going to go rancid if you don't use it quickly. Keep it cold to make it last longer?

Also make enough dough to make bread and cinnamon rolls! Mmmm

I keep my fresh ground flour in the freezer, keeps it fresh longer.

I keep all my flour in the freezer for it last longer and wont germinate bugs too

❤

I've never met them and haven't even really seen their faces but I love Paul and Bethany, LOL. Also Ken!

Great video, Laura! Fun to watch all the process to go through to make flour ❤️

Huge respect for all your efforts. Also... it was quite peaceful and beautiful to watch the process... I imagined my grandfather's parents and grandparents working together as they did these tasks on the barn floor, out of the Norwegian weather.

@@lilygirl2719that’s because she respects their privacy, as per their wishes, otherwise she gets their permission beforehand.

My words exactly!!!! We love Paul and Bethany!!!

This was going to be my comment! We all need a Laura too!

Agreed. Also they are a good team. Some siblings does not work that well together

I agree 100% They both are hard workers.

I like to think I could be more Laura-y if my husband was more Aaron-y...but alas, neither of us excel in any Garden Answer type stuff.

How long does freshly milled wheat last in the freezer?

Yes, freezing flour is best.

I've always kept mine in the freezer.

I'm not much of a kitchen person but if I ever have a cup of flour in the house I keep it in the freezer.

They have the root cellar.

I thought the same!

Oh, that would be nice! I love it when Monica is the guest star

That would be AWESOME!! And Mom too!! 😊

😂😂😂

Hahah, i love it! Thanks for sharing your wisdom 😂

😂 Choosing our battles!🤣

Seriously, ain't nobody got time for that! 🤦

You might want to start reading the ingredients on things you purchase in the store now. I've noticed that every corn starch label, I've read now has bioenginered products in it, as well as most soups, and sauces.

💎THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God saves man from the destruction of this old world" (This may be a reminder for most people of God's words from Genesis: "Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness." Suppose God is saying that "let us" make man in "our " picture, then "ours" shows two or more; since He said "ours," then God is not only one. In this way, man begins to think generally of different persons, and from these words came the idea of ​​the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. At the time Moses wrote Genesis, was after the creation of mankind following the creation of the world. In the beginning, when the world, Moses did not exist yet. And it was a long time before Moses wrote the Bible, so how could he possibly know what God said in heaven? He was unaware of how God created the world. What is written in the Old Testament is the work of Jehovah, a phase of the work of God Himself for ushering in the Age of Law. This is the work of God, where as He spoke, it happened, and as He commanded, it remained. When all is said and done, whether it is the Father or the Son, They are one Spirit, not divided into separate persons. When man speaks of separate persons, does it not reflect God? Jehovah is the Spirit, and also a substance of Jesus. Doesn't the Spirit of God simply carry out the work of the Spirit from different perspectives?" Because of this, there is no distinction between persons.) Almighty God said This can be a REMINDER for most PEOPLE of GOD'S WORDS from GENESIS: "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." Suppose GOD says "we" will CREATE MAN in "our" IMAGE, then "we" SHOWS TWO or MORE; since He SAID "we," then GOD is NOT one. IN THIS WAY, MAN BEGAN TO THINK GENERALLY OF DIFFERENT PERSONS, AND FROM THESE WORDS HAD THE IDEA OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. What then does the Father look like? What does the Son look like? And what does the Holy Spirit look like? ☀️🙏 Could it be that the present man was made in the image of the one who was put together from the three? Then is the image of man like that of the Father, the Son, or the Holy Spirit? 🙏 WHICH of the persons of GOD is the image of MAN? This idea of ​​MAN is ABSOLUTELY WRONG and NONSENSE! It can only separate one God from several Gods. 🙏 AT THE TIME Moses WROTE GENESIS, it was AFTER MANKIND WAS CREATED AFTER THE CREATION OF THE WORLD. In the BEGINNING, when the WORLD began, Moses did NOT exist. And IT TOOK A LONG TIME FOR MOSES TO WRITE THE BIBLE, so HOW could he possibly KNOW WHAT GOD SAID in HEAVEN?🙏☀️ He is UNCONSCIOUS of HOW GOD CREATED THE WORLD. 🙏 In the OLD TESTAMENT of the Bible, there is NO mention of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, only the TRUE GOD, JEHOVAH, is PERFORMING His WORK in ISRAEL. ☀️ He is CALLED by different NAMES in the CHANGING TIMES, but this DOESN'T PROVE that each NAME REFERES to a different PERSON. Therefore, then wouldn't there be countless persons of God? What is WRITTEN in the OLD TESTAMENT is the WORK of JEHOVAH, A PHASE of the WORK of GOD HIMSELF for the START of the Age of Law. This is GOD'S WORK, where ACCORDING to what He SPOKE, it happened, and ACCORDING to what He commanded, it REMAINS. 🙏💐 AT NO TIME DID JEHOVAH SAY HE WAS THE FATHER WHO WOULD COME TO EFFECT THE WORK, or did He even foretell the coming of the Son to redeem mankind. WHEN IT CAME TO THE TIME OF JESUS, it was only mentioned that GOD became MAN to REDEEM ALL MANKIND, NOT that the SON CAME. ☀️ Because the times are not the same and the work that God Himself carries out is also different, He has to carry out His work within different kingdoms. In this way, the identity He represents is also different. PEOPLE BELIEVE JEHOVAH IS THE FATHER OF JESUS, but JESUS ​​DOESN'T REALLY ACKNOWLEDGE, saying: "We were never identified as Father and Son; I and the Father in heaven are one. The Father is in Me and I am in the Father; when men see the Son, they see the Father in heaven." ☀️😪 When all is said and done, whether it is the Father or the Son, They are one Spirit, not divided into separate persons. By the time man attempts to explain, matters are complicated by the idea of ​​different persons, as well as the relationship between Father, Son, and Spirit. WHEN MAN TALKS ABOUT separate persons, does it not reflect GOD? 🙏🔅 Man even ranks persons as first, second, and third; these are all mere human understandings, unworthy of reference, and utterly unreal! If you ask him: "How many are there in God?" He will say that God is the Trinity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit: the one true God. If you ask him: "Who is the Father?" He will say: The Father is the Spirit of God in heaven; He rules over all, and He is the Lord of heaven." "Then is Jehovah the Spirit?" ☀️ He will say: "Yes!" If you ask him afterwards, "Who is the Son?" He will say that Jesus is the Son, anyway: "Then what is the story of Jesus? From whom did He come?" He will say: "Jesus was born of Mary through the shadowing of the Holy Spirit. " ☀️ "Then is not His substance also Spirit? Does His work also represent the Holy Spirit? Jehovah is the Spirit, and also a substance of Jesus. Now in the last days, it goes without saying that the Spirit still works; how did He become different persons? Doesn't the Spirit of God just carry out the work of the Spirit from different perspectives? Because of this, there is no difference between personas. 🙏 From "Is There a Trinity?" Fulfilled in "In the beginning He was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1). ... and "When I looked up, someone handed me a book wrapped in a scroll.

Exactly, I never understood why Americans don't just use gram measurements on a kitchen scale to get accurate results

I thought of the Little Red Hen too!

Plus she shared her knowledge, processing, we are all left happy ❤.

😂

I was thinking the same thing. 😊

Lol😅YES‼️, I just had to Google that because I couldn't remember the name of the story. 😆❤️

Just like a homesteader. Some I’m sure do. Most buy the wheat berries though.

Really time intensive, too! Bet learning this whole process, from seed to bread, really makes you appreciate the whole farm-to-table experience and our farmers! Thanks so much for sharing this with us, Laura. 💕

This was a FUN process to watch!! Thank you for showing the process at the garden center too. That was a LOT of work😳

I think I’d rather just buy a bag of King Arthur Flour! I get why this seems to be a “thing” right now, but not for me. And it’s pretty easy to find local or “artisanal” wheat flour now. But this was interesting to watch!

I think we might have been healthier and slept better when we did more farming for ourselves!

I think it was a seed mill first and then later they added the garden center.

Same here! I’m always amazed at how fascinating I find topics on things I’ll never do.

Exactly! Never stop learning!

I prefer 2 parts wheat to 1 part white.

White is bleached

Oh I am glad someone said this. My mom ground whole wheat flour my whole life. She never made bread with 100% whole wheat flour. Usually mixed it 50/50 or 40/60.

It's actually a sickle.

Some childhood memories are so sweet and never forgotten !

My granny would form them into what we called snake biscuits!

My mom called them finishing biscuits.

America’s Test Kitchen recommends that too - is there a conversion table for recipes that measure instead of weigh?

Definitely! Came here to see if someone suggested measuring by weight. It’s so much more accurate, highly improved my baked goods. I’m hoping Laura gives that a try.

😂

Laura can be a bad influence 😂😂😂

I agree with your husband!

😂

Laura, that’s amazing! You are right, long ago this is how they did it!!! Thanks 🙏 ❤❤❤

Yes totally disconnected

I don’t know how pioneers ever made it….I guess a lot of them didn’t. Makes me thankful! 🌻

😊👋

I do believe your channel should be renamed “ The Little Red Hen”! You are so industrious Laura!

She has a lot of workers doing this for her bro

agree

I agree. I loved seeing the machinery. I wonder how old it is? Dare I call it beautiful. (I like vintage things)

You need help with that my goodness!

Skill? This is life in third world country. You’ve been sheltered your whole life.

But you'd have a smile on your face from your yummy jam 🥰

it definitely explains why they considered things made with flour a treat, vs. a daily/every meal occurrence!

@@AB-ol5uz And skinnier too! :D

@@AB-ol5uzand this is the moral of the story isn’t it. We’re now mass producing crops that are actually not meant to be constantly consumed… interesting because our family is trying to grow as much food as possible and we’re shifting from grain products to more vegies and meat.

I remember seeing farmers in the Philippines grinding their flour manually using like a huge mortar and pestle sort of. I thought that was very tiring. Harvesting them was even hard too. They'd cut the stems with wheat berries then they'll hold the end and slam it in a huge make up sifter. To take the chaff off, they'll put it in a circular pan called bilao, which is made of weaved coconut leaves and slowly and throw the wheats in the air, just like a chef would flip whatever they're cooking. I can't really explain it well, but all I know is, it's really hard work.

That's a really great tip!

That's probably the trick to get fluffier baked goods

hello

You cannot do that with a lot of the current electric mills out on the market currently. I know for sure that you cannot do that with the Nutrimill Classic model and the WonderMill.

Good for you!! We do this daily with our 5 kids. What a joy.

What does the "T" stand for. Tablespoon? I don't know much about baking.
