I recently visited shepherdess Tess Hahn of Bah Bah Blacktail Farm to learn more about the first aid supplies a shepherd should keep on-hand for when things go wrong with sheep. We made a video going over the problems Tess has encountered and the different items she has found useful for treating sheep. Here is a link to my Amazon store where you can see most of the products mentioned in the video:

And for your viewing pleasure, the accompanying video:
The Grass-fed Homestead is pleased to announce our first shippable product, raw orange blossom honey! Check out the honey in our online store here.
I can’t wait until this fall when we will have premium knapweed honey available for sale from the hives on our homestead and from our nearby farmer friends.
Patreon supporters get a discount ~ thank you for your continued support!
The kind folks who are signed-up to receive our emails found out recently that The Grass-fed Homestead is hosting honey bees for a commercial bee-keeper for the second year now. My bee-keeping friend loves our location because of all our knapweed. I did not know until last year that knapweed nectar, when harvested by bees, makes the most premium honey on the planet. If you’ve watched our videos for long, you know we have some serious knapweed here! (more…)
Our 7th video in the homestead pig series (which will likely be our finale) takes us to Overbay Farms in north Idaho where Jennifer Hege and her husband, Mac, are raising 50 pigs for a local pork sales. Overbay Farms primarily focuses on Gloucestershire Old Spot pigs but they are also raising tamworth pigs, Berkshire pigs, and red wattle pigs.
