Thanks for sharing this Wendy! I’ve seen similar ones for sale, I think Lehmans has them but they are quite expensive. It looks like they can be easily made! Maybe a project for this summer…

This video is from Missy and Wildman. I don’t agree with everything they post but I do like many of their videos. This particular one is about grinding your own corn and making corn meal mush.

Hi everyone! Does anyone know anything about eggs? My husband’s friend at work just started raising chickens/ducks and he sold 2 dzn chicken eggs to us and about 8 duck eggs. Well, that’s fine, but they are dirty! I mean I know that’s just not dirt, you know what I mean? So I washed them in dish soap and sprayed them in vinegar to air dry.…[Read more]

I wash mine in water and a little dish soap. That’s all my grandpa ever used. If you are going to dehydrate the eggs…. I’ve heard you need to scramble them first and then dehydrate them.
-
I’m not a chiken guy yet…………

Shame on him for not washing off his eggs! Anyway, I just wash them with water and a bit of dish soap if necessary. I also use a little scrub brush when necessary but LIGHTLY.
-
Thank you so much!
-
Ack he should have washed them. lol Eggs have a protective coating on them that keeps the air from getting through the shell. If you wash it to much you will take this off and they wont keep as long. But it’s certainly ok to wash lightly and get the droppings or dirt off!
-
If he is hoping for repeat customers he really should wash off the eggs before he delivers them. One never knows what will freak someone out. I had a lady that was buying eggs from me until she found out I had a rooster in my flock. She literally turned green and said she couldn’t stand the idea of possibly finding a beak in an egg. No amount…[Read more]

Welcome to the community. I homeschool my 13 year old daughter and am fairly new to ”homesteading”. I look forward to getting to know you some time. A few of us try to regularly hook up in the evenings on chat (about 830-9 pm central).

We had a frost last night, but it did not hit my tomatoes. I think because they are close to a building. I covered the spinach and herbs, so they’re ok too. I have chives and rosemary drying and just finished up the last of the parsley. Parsley had a rough start so next year I’m going to plant lots of it. I use this the most in cooking. …[Read more]

There has been quite a bit of talk about filtering your water supply. Personally, I have taken quite a few filters apart over the years, and I can tell you from experience that most of them have 2 or 3 layers in them. Most of them only have activated charcoal in them with cotton to [...]
