Gorgeous Farm Fencing

This is a photo taken at a farm in Kuna, ID. Round rock and pipe - super solid.

Roast Chicken or Turkey Broth

Don't ever toss your pan drippings or the carcass! They make for exceptional broth and soup base. Take your drippings and carcass and toss it in the largest pot you can find (OK, within reason) and add some chopped carrots, onions, celery and 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar (it helps pull the minerals out of the bones but leaves no flavor behind) and let it simmer for 6-24 hours. Strain and you can either can the broth or freeze it. It is amazing! Chicken noodles soup anyone?

Body Wash

For those of you with sensitive skin, I feel your pain. We are a farm with sensitivities and it doesn't end with the food. Dry, itchy skin that doesn't like much on it and yet, you still want to be clean and fresh.
So we keep on trying new things. Yes, I've made some of my own that worked. I've also decided that I'd like to try and find an alternative...And we have a winner! Nature's Gate makes a great body wash that doesn't make our skin crawl. As a bonus, we've tried it on our hair and not only does it work, but smells nice too.


We've bought it online (as in the 2 pack above) as a cost saving alternative, as it just isn't close to our budget in the stores. Yet.

One of those "finds" I wanted to share with you. Have an awesome day!
