If you want to have a sustainable oil source (that's not from animal fats) then consider growing and pressing your own seed and nut oils.
Join me with my guest Bevin Cohen from @SmallHouseFarm as we break down everything you need to know about pressing your own seed and nut oils.
We're clarifying the misinformation that all seed oils are unhealthy, as well as discussing the supplies needed to press your own oil and the sustainability of pressing enough oil for your family each year.

My dairy farming, self sufficient grandparents would never have had oil in the house, except a small bottle of olive oil in the medicine cabinet for warming and dropping into ears to soothe earache. "Salad dressing" was invariably made by mashing hardboiled egg yolks into cream and vinegar with plenty of mustard powder, a little salt and sugar. "Dripping" was all fat saved from roasted meats, accumulated in a ceramic container, for all frying purposes, and spreading on bread as a special treat.

@rachelgillenwater4413 Год назад

That is so interesting!

@AuntNutmeg Год назад

Perhaps the source of "ranch dressing"....not them personally, but that idea. They used what they had.

@rubygray7749 Год назад

@@AuntNutmeg That must be true! We're Tasmanians, so the early settlers were far removed from the rest of the world, and didn't have access to the same ingredients as every one else. A variation I have also seen here, but nowhere else, is to mix condensed milk with vinegar, mustard and salt. This becomes very thick. Both dressings are very tasty.

@Phisch777 Год назад

I’m curious, @rubygray7749 did they filter the drippings?

@catherine6802 Год назад

I can't tell you what a timely topic this is. I've been interested in making my own oil but had no idea where to start. I know store oils are bad but never thought of another option, assuming equipment was too expensive or not accessible. Also, nut butter made from the various seeds really gets my enthusiasm to a higher level. I'm frugal by nature and at 60 years old I fight the high cost of groceries and other needs. This is one more to add to my arsenal. I like the idea of a quality hand crank in case there are interruptions in the electrical grid. Thank you so much for the in depth conversation about this and I'll be investing in your book.

@marinahoffstrom360 Год назад

Once we got lots of free surplus pumpkins, so much that we gave most of them to our two pigs. They started chasing the pumpkins that where rolling all around the pen. It was difficult to grab the round pumpkins, so we got some fun entertainment watching the pigs “play soccer “. 😆 Anyway, what the pigs finally did when they managed to secure a pumpkin in a corner, was to bite into it and push through to the center and eat the seeds. They left the flesh and went after the next pumpkin. The pumpkin pieces were then eaten last over the next few days …

@simplydivine5053 11 месяцев назад

You’re always one step ahead of most homestead families asking the hard questions that have to do with total, true independence. This makes me think of the skills our ancestors had. I often think of the knowledge they had that is now getting lost, but to them was everyday survival. We’ve come a long ways over the generations, but I can’t help but think we have lost some pretty vital skills along the way. Especially concerning nutrition and our everyday health and I often wonder, are we really better off?

@annettehuskin6922 5 месяцев назад

I think not. I wish we could go back to quieter times. When everything wasn't 24/7 and families worked together to grow, prepare and store food. I have many memories of picking fruits and vegetables and helping my mom or grandmother to process them. And the taste of fresh food not processed food for convenience. I'm trying to do as many of these things now that I can. I'm happy we live somewhere where the stores are not open 24/7 few restaurants no fast food. You really must do things for yourself here. I've learned so much in the 7 years I've lived here. But the best is that things are simplar. We shop once a week and eat out once a week.

Great conversation and apart from the initial press cost, a very viable option for anyone

@jeas4980 Год назад

This truly is a missing conversation... and perfect timing for it! Our meat monger (we only raise meat we can graze to harvest on our small property without grain: poultry, rabbit, sheep) is no longer selling lard by the box. So this is the perfect solution for our situation. I can raise a few pigs and turn a profit... I've done the math (1lb/3lb standard) and run the numbers; but, that's today's grain prices. There is just so much volatility in the commercial grain market, both with availability and pricing, that we've just opted out of participating by choosing meat producers that don't require grain. But, that was when we could get lard... now our lard is going to a larger buyer. So we were honestly considering leasing a parcel from a neighbor (we don't want to upset our closer neighbors with the smells and sounds of hog production on our smaller property) to raise 6 pigs. I don't want to. It would be a colossal pain in the rear end... traveling a half mile down the road to do pig chores twice a day, God only knows how much damage they could do if they got out before we got the news, setting up grain stations, moving hog pens... pain in the butt.. don't wanna do it. But THIS! Adding flowers and squash to the landscape...(twist my arm)... I live in the peanut capital of the world, seriously.... and I can produce my own seed oils regardless of the market availability. AND the biproducts are edible and livestock feed. This is perfect. Thank you so much!

I’m north of Ann Arbor so I’m not really that far away. I’d like to try hemp oil!

Do you happen to know the name of the hemp farm?

Just getting ready to make an herb oil for an antibiotic salve and was thinking about what oil to use, how to source, etc. What a wonderful solution - press my own from seeds I grow. I'll have to use purchased oil to get my salve started, but definitely switching to home pressed soon. Thank you Bevin.

A quick and cheap way of extracting oil from seeds is to use a blender. Simply blend the seeds until you have something looking like peanut butter put in a container. The oil will separate from the mash. Obviously this will only produce relatively small amounts, but perfectly usable for the kitchen.

In the first chapter of the book I talk about the history of oil extraction and we discuss this method... the yields are low like you mention, but it certainly works!

@dandycat2204 Год назад

@@SmallHouseFarm Thanks for your reply. I just thought I would mention it for those who didn't want/ couldn't afford, or felt they don't produce enough seeds to buy a press. But thanks again for the confirmation.

This is so interesting, obviously new to me. I feel like a whole new world is opening up to me. Your videos are so well done. I am very grateful, I’m learning so much from the homesteading community. I need to make a plan of action. There’s so much I want to start and don’t want to overwhelm myself.

Thank you. 👍 This is something I've been concerned about.

If you have wild walnuts available, pressing the oil is great for more than just food. It is a very good preservative for sharpened knives and scissors that can be applied weekly to keep them from rusting. It is also good for wood cutting boards. Boiled linseed oil is most common for these purposes, but if you can get free walnut oil, do it!

We live on a small city plot and we grow sunflowers at the back of my property as a buffer. They are beautiful and easy to grow!

@robertasereno1029 4 месяца назад

I already bought the press & his book. Bought the bird seed he recommended, then separated & sifted out the black sunflower seeds. Now I need to actually mount this press and try it out. I pray that I will also be able to grow sunflowers, as I am new to gardening and growing. Plus, trying to be a homesteader in the city, in a HOA, has been comical this past year. Love it!

Oh wow, this is awesome! The seed oil conversation totally makes sense. I have a Piteba cold press mill but I've never used it yet because of the seed oil conversation. I bought it more for a SHTF/grid down scenario. I had no idea about pumpkin and butternut squash seed oil, I grow both of those! I'm totally growing black oil sunflowers next year! And oh my goodness, homemade toasted sesame seed oil would be heavenly! Thank you for the info!
