Milk Cows and Ancient Grains on the Homestead

from A Homegrown Family · host Joseph Mettler

Returning guest, Vince, and I believe that raising your own food and being self-sustainable is a large part of what it means to live on a homestead. Chickens are often thought of as the gateway animal to get started, but should they be? Let’s think more about milk cows and all the benefits and products that can be made from raw milk. And of course, the cow itself can make all the difference. Does the cow produce the more digestive A2 beta-casein protein? Do you have a breed that will produce heavy amounts of cream that will lead to the creamiest butter and cheeses? Vince and I chat about milk cows and more in this episode, including the living enzyme benefit of milling your own ancient grains. Resources:A1 vs. A2 MilkGrains you can Mill and How to use the Flour Email: [email protected]: ahomegrownfamA Homegrown Family on YouTubeSupport the show
