Daily chores

As our farm year progresses our daily chores increase and change. With the kidding of our goats we now have milking duties after the morning and evening feedings. This also adds the making of butter, cheese, and yogurt. We have some kefir grains (I know Guy they are not grains but yeast.) so we'll have a home stock of kefir soon. We also slaughtered Oreo so lard making and sausage stuffing is also added to the mix. As soon as I get the plans for the smoke shed we'll start smoking bacon and the insanely huge ham we got off Oreo.
On the plus side this all adds nicely with our egg retrieval and veggie harvesting. Slowly but surely we inch our way to a more self sufficient home.
