[nawomifirs]

In my childhood, every summer I was going to my grandmother, she had 3 cow and every morning after milking she was processing milk through mechanical separator, she would put heavy cream inside fridge, ones it’s cold she would pour cream inside wooden box which had a mixer, and will mix up and make the fresh butter, I loved my summers ❤

I was so fixated on the little things your little helpers were doing. The attention to detail they demonstrated... moving the chair to the sink in order to wash her hands with no assistance turning on the faucet or turning it off with perfection. Cleaning the bowl and table. I mean, I started cooking at the age of 6 and knew my way around the kitchen without assistance by middle school... but your girls... WOW. You teach by example and trust they can do it... actually, you KNOW they can. So your girls will grow to be very CONFIDENT, independent, strong, loving daughters! Physically, mentally and emotionally amazing human beings! What more could a child need or want from a mother figure? You set the perfect example. Thank you for allowing us a window view into your family's lives... brings hope! ❤❤❤ BTW, I love making homemade butter ❤❤❤

[healthcoachtoranchlife-mov]

Such a wonderful woman and mother. Love how you let the kids join in and are so patient with them. Learning at home is wonderful. I homeschooled my son for 15 years and he learned a lot on the cattle ranch growing up. Hands on is the BEST way to teach. Keep up the good work you are doing!

[melissa-wzuj]

Your husband is beyond blessed to have you 😊
Such a wonderful family

Finally You tube put something amazing in my feed. I'm so heart-warmed by such pure and wonderful content. You are a wonderful mom and this kind of bonding with children should be promoted more.

[garudadhrichagntipati]

[ElizabethChristopher-io]

You are such an amazing sweet mother.
You are so patient and loving to your kids and teaching them to help in the kitchen. Keep up your amazing life as you are all that a mother should be!!
Thank you for being a wonderful example of what a true mother should be! I love your videos! Keep them coming.

[NoelCiancaglione]

My favorite part is the fact that Martha just knows to switch the switch to the left to keep the bowl in place, that’s when you know momma’s little helpers are always in the kitchen with you 😂🥹 so precious

My kids and I made butter over the summer as a cooking experiment. We used store bought cream and farm fresh cream from our local farmers and we noted the differences in between them and we had sooo much fun doing it ❤ fresh cream butter came out more golden and creamy. We baked so many things, thank you for these videos 👍

[sallyperrie]

You can make it with heavy whipping cream from the market and shockingly it does make a lot. You can put minced fresh herbs into it which goes amazing with home baked bread. If you don’t have a stand mixer you can also take a really big (2 quart) quart fruit jar and add cream and the slosh back and forth. It takes about 15 mins to make butter this way. I’ve done it with my kids in class

We just came across your YouTube channel, my husband and I lived on our hobby farmed for 25 years. Where we raised our children as well. They were the best years of our lives. We recently retired and moved into town.

We had Jerseys cows as well and loved their milk and making butter.
We used our large blender to whip the jersey cream (less messy) until it separated into butter. We then pour off the butter milk into a jug, then poured ice cold distilled water over the butter and whipped it until rinsed . Afterwards we pressed out the access water, then add salt to taste.
Farm life is the best!
Thank-you for sharing your experiences on the farm. I know we’re going to love your channel. ❤
