WHAT CAN YOU MAKE WITH 15 GALLONS OF RAW MILK PER WEEK?! 

I have 13 children and we go through milk like crazy…your living my dream life there in your little farm with your sweet animals 😊

One of the things you should absolutely try making is Clotted Cream. It is an English delicacy and really hard to get in the US because it isnt made commercially and it is expensive to import. It is made with raw milk and it is SO good. People get it confused with whipped cream, but it isnt the same thing and it tastes very different. It can absolutely be used in savoury dishes, but the best things to have it with are fresh strawberries, or with a cream tea (fresh scones, jam, and clotted cream). It can take a long time to make because it is all about the separation and a slow cooling process, but it is so worth it. There are methods on the internet of how to make it. Love the video by the way. Would love to see more kitchen videos, even if it is just you making dinner

I love this, Alex. Would love to see more recipes and processes so we get the details, as there is much I would love to try making.

I love homemade yogurt too! Congratulations on finishing the cleanse, I pray God blesses y’all abundantly ❤️

This was awesome. Loved it. Thanks Phil for helping so we could see :)

Wow, you are so inspiring, Alex!! I believe I said a version of this last time. It's so true, thanks so much, God Bless you all

You look like you have so much fun while making all this stuff! Really makes me want to start making stuff from scratch!

Thank you for the discount code! I so needed a suggestion for pre/pro biotics. ❤

I absolutely love watching your videos. You guys are such a beautiful family. You make me feel good.

Loving this content!

Alex, you are amazing! I love watching you and your family. ❤

Hello Alex, I would love it if you did a full walk through from picking your wheat berries, grinding, and making the different recipes using your sourdough starter, including your everyday bread. ❤

I’m so glad I found your channel! What a beautiful life you live. I grew up Amish, this reminds me so much of home!!

I love raw milk and I love that you explain EVERYTHING from what to make with it, to what to do with what's spoiled. You guys are awesome! Would love to see more kitchen videos!! 🤗

Thank you for the video. I started my garden this year and my plan was to make everything I possibly can at home from scratch. I recently found a local dairy farmer that sells raw milk and now I can also make my own dairy products. I’m so excited and needed tips thank you.

love the in the kitchen vlog!!!! please do more!!

I love this video Alex 😊❤ please share more of this kind of info on milk and jersey cows ❤

Welcome back ❤

Alex I LOVE all of the homemade stuff you make at home. Could you please add the recipe to your vlog or do a recipe book with all that you make with tips for seasons?? Also, with what you get from leftovers from recipes like buttermilk and clabber. Love to you and Phil and your family!!!❤❤

I love love love this video. Thank you much for sharing

I love learning from you. Homesteading is what we want to eventually. We would love to be self-sufficient.

I really enjoyed content like this! Would love to see more ❤

Excellent video! So much good information! 👏 👏 👏

You should get a cream separator machine. Since you get so much milk, it will save you a lot of time. Also, with hard-cheeses, 1g of milk equals roughly 1 lb of cheese. I make 3lb cheese wheels. I use an Amish press with a gallon jug of water for the weights. Just make sure you're using stainless steel pots to heat the milk and add rennet. I used a beverage(wine) fridge and set the temp to the highest setting, which is around 52 degrees, the ideal temp to age your hard and semi-hard cheeses. Just find one that doesn't have the wine racks and just has the wire grills. The pigs and chickens will LOVE the remaining whey, even after you make ricotta from left over whey. It's so delicious! Also, to keep your butter longer, get a butter dish that inverts into a pool of water, so air doesn't get to it. It will last so much longer! Also, make some squeaky cheese for the kids. My kids went nuts for it!.

Definitely need to share but what a blessing

When I had opportunity to get raw milk from the farm it was the best. My grandma had a cow long time ago back in Russia and that milk and home made butter on fresh bread with homemade jam on top and full glass of milk was sooo good! I usually make ricotta cheese from the extra milk I get and freeze it if I have a lot. Then there's so many recipes that you can use it with homemade ricotta cheese. I like it better homemade then store bought.

I'm really empressed. My husband's grandma would make her own cottage at first it freaked me out. But your right a lot of our generation has lost a huge fundamental cooking lessons or to be honest, turned their nose up and belly ached about the work it takes or the process in which said products are made. The great quote should be 'if they only knew'. I would love the recipes for your bread. Do you have them somewhere? ❤😊❤😊 Thank you Mr & Mrs. James Bond. Hubby loves your videos too

I would love to see more on the grain process, where to start on my own mill and the best grain to get etc. I have been raised on a farm with so many of these things as a part of my life but not the grain side.

you would probably love a freeze dryer you can freeze dray so many things that you grow and when you are wanting for you cow to freshen you can drink freeze dried milk it’s awesome we love ours!

Butter tastes so much better homemade Remember you can flavor your butter too. Garlic. Herbs. Sweet butter. You can freeze it and bring it to friends houses or as gifts.

I recently used the buttermilk from when I made butter for a mac and cheese sauce (the recipe is on Pinterest). It was SO good and our kiddos devoured it.

Yes please more videos about how you nourish your fertility and all the homestead content you can come up with I will watch.

Thanks alex! You make it seem possible to do😍

I have found that if you let your cream come to room temperature, ( I will use the stove to warm it up quickly,) it will form the butter alot faster.

Your bread!!!!!! Perfect that sound. I wish I had some. The heavy cream probably makes the best Alfredo sauce which I love. The butter on the bread is probably the bomb! And I would love the buttermilk and yogurt from it also. I wish I was your neighbor literally.

Oh my goodness that looks beautiful ❤. I wish I could find that in Canada

Love info video!!!👍😊🙏🏼 I would love to see how you make kombucha !🙏🏼

I was raised on raw milk I am turning 80 in a few months. I have been healthy and I think if more people drank raw milk there would be healthier people.

Thank you ❤

You could send some of that homegrown and homemade goodness to me! You guys are such a sweet and wonderful family and I look for your videos first. LOVE and PRAYERS ALWAYS from Gainesville Florida.❤🙏😊🙏❤🐏🐖🐮🐕🐔🍓

You can always make a ton of butter and then when ready, make ghee and can it.

I love watching you make stuff in the kitchen it looks brilliant thank heaps from Ronnie 👍😃👍😃 from Geelong VIC Australia.

You can make your ice cream I use an electric ice cream maker & I was a Tupperware dealer so I had pint, quart, 1/2 gal, 1 gal. Containers up the wahoo. With time I realize that if I used ziplock or seal a meals to start storing foods that I used put in containers by laying the bags flat after all the air is squeezed all the air & seal. Once you have the recipe you like only thing you change are the vanilla, almond & all kinds of syrups. Then your fruits peach, banana with or with out chocolate, cookies & cream, peanut butter & chocolate, I used to use a marker & reuse most of the ziplock bags too. I made a cream pies & froze them after I pulled them out of the pie pans once that was done. I always made double batches of lasagna a freeze them. I learned how to make large batches of stuff peppers, stuff cabbage rolls I'd put 2 in a smaller bag & made a bunch of bags for a family meal. I buy turkey breast when on sale to make pot pies single serving size & family meal size. You can freeze butter & cheese. Bread. Pudding to. I learned with kids your feeding or more friend at dinner. Or family friends call & you have invited come over. Meal & dessert in your freezer.

Could you do a specific video on tips, tricks, etc on raising chickens? We have 24 3 week old chickens and are kind of learning as we go! Would love to know things to avoid and things helpful things you have learned along the way.

You can use the buttermilk after you make butter to make tortillas as a replacement for water, or even naan. It makes for a soft supple dough and really moist and light naan. ❤your family and all you guys share!!!

My goodness this all looks amazing and all fresh from your beautiful Daisy,🙏💗💗💗💗💙

Would love to hear your thoughts in a video of oils versus lard.

I remember watching a video of Alex making bone broth in the condo. I'd love a homestead updated version of bone broth, but specifically how to get it to gel? I never get that part correctly.

You can also make cuajada or fresh cheese that they make in central America. If you have rennet you just add rennet to freah out of the cow milk and let it set up. After its set you cut it and let it separate from the whey awhile. Then you strain out the whey. My sister in law dumps it into a cheesecloth bag and hangs it up so the whey drains. After the whey is out you salt it and put into a container/mold and refrigerate. Slice and serve with rice and beans and fresh tortillas 🤤🤤🤤

We let our cream get room temp then shake in a Mason jar then strain rinse add salt form pat dry put in fridge

Hi Alex your skin looks magnificent brilliant job ever 💗💖💗💖 thanks heaps from Ronnie 👍😃👍😃 from Geelong VIC Australia.

Question- How long can you milk your cow for? Also do you need to rest her for a while before you get her with calf again. And if you do that, where will you get your milk? Sorry for all the questions!

And butter too Sourdough. 😊

what an inspiration you are! so fun to watch this... i have an honest question, what does the calf get to eat when you take all this milk? why does the cow produce so much milk?

Hi there! Just wondering why you don’t use a cream separator? I hear they work wonders!

I would love to see you tackle making Parmesan cheese, it takes about a year to cure it!

Buttermilk can be used for milk substitute in xooking. They suggest adding baking soda. Since your milk is raw is it not naturally fermented?

I love having raw milk to make my yogurt and cheeses. I like letting it sit out and sour for 24 hours and the strain it and add salt. It is a great homemade cottage cheese that is so delicious.

Get a freeze dryer and start putting your milk , butter ect in there

When is the rest of the video coming...interesting in the other products from milk. Doing butter already, but want to make other stuff. Thanks

Sour milk is great for making cottage cheese or as we call it in Poland "twarog".

Hi. We had a Jersey but found the milk just too creamy. She was old and became barren and eventually a non milking lawn mower. We now have a cross breed that gives us about 4 litres a day plus feeding the calf. I am thinking of making butter with the cream off the tubs of milk we have in the fridge. The oldest tub is about a week old. Smelling it you can tell it has lost its fresh sweet smell you get on warm just milked milk and smells more 'bland' and when you taste it you can taste the very very beginnings of a slightest yoghurt taste. I am wondering if that is still ok to skim off the cream for butter? I would use some of the skimmed off milk for yoghurt but that can come from the newer tubs.

Make ice cream! Lots of farms in Belgium make it and they sale a lot!

What is the shelf-life for your dairy products with raw milk?

Tell us more about your different ball jars and why the lids are plastic and not metal!😊🙏🏼

Do you have to do anything with the milk to "purify" it prior to drinking it? Sorry. Brand new with all this. Thank you so much for sharing!!

How do you make the cultured buttermilk?

Have you tried making cottage cheese?

You might consider posting someplace in the community and selling for animal consumption . Here some people are desperate to have a good source of raw milk that isn't 12.00 a gallon

How do you make cottage cheese?

This was very interesting, but how do you consume all that dairy produce? Do you sell it?

I want know how make yogurt?

You are awesome, I love love love watching all what you do. 💞🇬🇧💞

You can get yourself a freeze dryer make powdered milk and freeze dry cheese and yogurt for long term storage

Can barter with extra milk

You can make mozzarella cheese., so good.

I’m interested if you have room for herd share. I’m in Middle TN also.

Don’t try to make sourdough while making cheese. The curds won’t separate from the whey. Ask me how I know. 😂 Our jersey gives us about 15 gallons a week as well.

Are you all on well water?

What were you 'cleanse'-ing??

You guys should make a pizza oven to use your mozza

Can you sell any of the milk or products?

Start a small herd share!!

Why do you wash the milk ? Xx

If that is hard cheese seal with paraffin wax. That should work to keep it air tight and will keep the bacteria out! And food safe! They use it on cheese anyways! You should be good to go! Just drop in the holes no problem l!

I have tried several times to make sour dough. Can't seem to stay up on it

Homemade Alfredo sauce

What can you make? A lot of friends!

The stuff you make from the milk you could make gift baskets and give them to your families. Bet they would love to get your food and other things as gifts. Or even make some baskets and give them to new mothers you know. Save them lots of money and it’s made with love.

Can you dehydrate the milk and make your own powered milk?

I want get some '.

QUESTION: Will you be breeding Buttercup again, or getting a second cow for her to have cow-company when Big Boy Wesley is moved to another property? With how much milk you get already, I'm curious how double that is going to work? Haha.. I'm living vicariously through you guys because I would love to have a Buttercup! Such a sweet cow!!

I would eat pudding for breakfast, lunch and dinner

My question is how many gallons do you use for drinking?

What about kifer milk.

Don’t your neighbors need milk? Or do they all have cows of their own? Thanks for another great video.

R cows look more like Guernsey than Jersey. Are they a mixed breed?

Boiled custard

🐷 HELP ~ HELP Hello Alex, have a couple of quick questions for you..but I can't lie I'm very new to all of this. I'm trying to get back to my roots, I was one of the lucky ones who got to grow up on a working farm. After my grandparents passed away, the farm was sold off to Housing Development. I can't lie I do miss now. My question for you...The butter that you make, and add a couple pinches of salt to, could that go right into the freezer, or is there another step that you have to do before putting into the freezer? I need help with making bread I don't know what I do wrong, but I can't get it to rise twice..also for some reason the bottom of my bread ends up burning, I cook it in a cast iron bread pan. Could you help!

Do you make sourdough sandwich bread ! My kids love their sandwich bread
