As the title implies, it’s springtime here in the Yoop! I can almost taste the grilled goodness that is in store. Things are about to get busy on the farm here too, equipment is being prepped for field work, some last minute touches are going to be done on our livestock fences here, and then we’ll be off into planting for most of May. I don’t help with the planting very much, although there was that time I was the grain drill monitor for Andy a couple years ago…. So planting season is pretty busy for me too in that…
Today, while I was bottling for our members, I was contemplating how many different variables of milk I could actually come up with. Who thinks about these things?
As I start to come out of my winter sabbath, I figured I would share this recipe with you all! The pictures have been waiting on my phone since February!
Growing up, this was one of my favorite meals, and mom made it regularly. It takes some old fashioned loving care, but that is what makes it soooo good.
I started this article wanting to tell you all about our busy October, but I decided to let this article be just about my favorite cow, Kookie. Gosh I love her
I thought I would put a spin on my Ancestral Eating series of posts, and address three more WAPF principles in an post written just for busy women out there.
The first in a series of articles to help busy families implement Dr. Weston A. Price’s principles for healthy eating! In this article, we go over the fats.
Sometimes you just need to do hide away for a few days and be with family. I thought I’d share a recipe mash-up we enjoyed last week to make up for my absence
The reason we decided to get sheep was based on information I acquired by listening to the Wise Tradition’s podcast (one of my faves!) episodes 32 & 33. In these particular episodes, Hilda interviews Allan Savory of the Savory Institute, which is based in South Africa. Their sole purpose in life is to ‘facilitate the large-scale regeneration of the world’s grasslands and the livelihoods of their inhabitants, through holistic management.‘ They have over 100 hubs worldwide, including one at Michigan State University! The Institute works with many different groups to accomplish their mission, including farmers and ranchers, showing each how…

Our family comes from a long, long heritage of farmers- this artical is from back when the Jorasz Family Dairy celebrated it’s centennial year in 2015. It was such a fun-filled day! U.P. Family Farm Set to Celebrate Centennial WILSON – As one might expect from a farm operated by the same family for three generations, tradition plays an important role at Jorasz Family Farm, which celebrates its centennial this month. However, as co-owner John Jorasz said, this doesn’t mean the farm hasn’t changed with the times. “If my grandfather came back today, I don’t know if he’d recognize it,”…
The Augie Fudala Barn was completed on June 9, 2010 in Bark River, MI. The volunteers included FFA members and FFA alumni members working together to restore this classic barn. The barn projects are sponsored by Campbells Soup.
Since we’re all cooped up during this pandemic, we have tons of time to explore our family traditions, specifically of the culinary nature! Yesterday’s adventure took us to Poland- Andy’s family homeland.
We just love our chickens here on the ranch- they are a fun project for our little ones to help with, they’re docile (usually), easy to feed and water, and they provide us and a few clients with farm fresh eggs. Our daughter, Brianna, will even be showing a couple at the UP State Fair this year! Right now we have 17 hens and also a rooster because he. is. beautiful. I love looking in the coop to see them going on about their day, clucking and squawking at each other. I wonder what the heck they are talking about?…
