I'll have to get that one then. I already have Nourishing Traditions.

I raise a lot of eyebrows among in-laws and some of my family members because I drink raw milk, eat butter instead of those RBD spreads

, and have weird concoctions growing on what little counter space I have.

I really wish our tiny house was large enough to have a real utility room where there's plenty of space to do more fermentations. A laundry closet just doesn't cut it.

Do you render lard too? I used to do it over a fire in the fall, but now I use a crock pot.

I was talking to a local grass farmer about the possibility of asking his other customers if they might be interested in starting a local WAP chapter, either for northeast TN or southwest VA. Do you have a chapter near you or get the WAP newsletter? I let my subscription lapse a couple of years ago when money got very tight and I just kept forgetting to renew it.

Lol. I know ALL about raising eyebrows!

My fiancée and I were both raised in the city, and five years ago we dropped everything to move out to the middle of nowhere and renovate an 1800's farm house on 11 acres. Our friends in the city think we're totally crazy. I'm the only 27 year old I know whose most exciting plan for the future is getting a milk cow! Luckily, our parents are very supportive.

We do have a local WAP chapter and I really want to join. I'm having the hardest time getting access to raw milk, and I'm hoping maybe through a local membership I would be able to get some leads. There are a few buying clubs based on nourishing traditions here who have milk trucked in from SC or PA but you have to be sponsered by a member. Its very frustrating.

I use the crock pot to render lard as well.

I ran low on fruit, sooo I mixed the Kefir with some chocolate syrup and my kids loved it.

Since the Kefir was a little thick, it was kinda like a chocolate milk shake. I have some strawberry syrup also. It's pretty good that way too.

My oldest son refused to try it, but he loved the Kefir ice cream!! Now that he knows it was made with Kefir, he's trying it other ways too. He actually tried and liked the smoothies a couple days ago. But my DH.... now he refuses to try it and since he don't drink or eat very much milk or milk products... its going to be a harder sell for him.

I just mailed my sister some Kefir grains today. It's the first time I had enought to share with anyone. I think she will really enjoy it as much as we all do.
