    Jersey Cow...

    Ok, I'll keep that in mind. I want to research enough, because I know I will be purchasing at least 2 cows. I only need one to milk, but I don't want my milk cow to be lonely

    Jersey Cow...

    I couldn't do that, even if I wanted to. I already know that I'm going to start with ducks and chickens. I already have 3 beehives. But before I purchase my ducks and chickens, I need land. Then, I'll proceed from there. I even know which duck and chicken breeds I want, 2 duck breeds and 2...

    Jersey Cow...

    I've noticed! Researching all the animals I would eventually like to have on my farm has been fun and interesting... and driving has been noted. Almost every animal I'm interested in has to either be delivered or I must drive to obtain... sigh

    Jersey Cow...

    Jersey Cow...

    I believe it, after reading all the stories online. I know down the line, I would like to keep some cattle for beef, but I don't think I will keep a bull. But still, back to standard size jerseys... doesn't anyone sell those anymore?

    Jersey Cow...

    I agree, so I've applied for a few farm apprenticeships and I have been around cattle before, so I'm not afraid. I just want to make sure I know what I'm doing. I've had positive experiences around cattle before. I think the best experience was when I was in Scotland, and I spotted a heard of...

    Jersey Cow...

    I'm located in Cleveland Ohio. I'm still in the planning process of my farm. I hope to purchase land sometime at the end of next year.

    Jersey Cow...

    No, you guys aren't being too basic. I have a been researching online and have a few books in mind to purchase. But I also want feedback from actual people. The other problem I'm having as far as even considering purchasing a Jersey, is that I can't seem to locate anyone that sells a standard...

    The Vanilla Extract Project

    Yeah, I think alcohol choice as far as making vanilla extract can depend on what a person may want to make. I know that vodka interferes the least with the vanilla flavor. Then there are preferred alcohol bases for vanilla extract to make cordials or specific desserts. Rum is definitely a good...

    The Vanilla Extract Project

    Sorry about the delay in response, I'm a night shift worker, and sometimes, time gets away from me. There's a mild difference in flavor. Mexican vanilla beans are a bit more spicy and earthy, whereas Madagascar or Bourbon vanilla beans are sweeter and creamy. I've noticed when at the grocery...

    The Vanilla Extract Project

    Well, the gin and vodka ones are really doing well. The gin based extract so far, smells very aromatic. I think its because gin has a slight perfumy scent on its on. Cost wise, I will have to keep a record. I've been pacing myself as far as purchasing needed items. I think its makes a...

    The Vanilla Extract Project

    So after doing some research on how to make vanilla extract, I've come across quite a few unique blogs and articles on the does and don't of making homemade vanilla extract. So I decided to make extract from both popular and different choices of alcohol. I've started with the standard vodka...
