Some random stuff about yours truly:
First off, a good cup of coffee consists of two parts coffee, one part cream. Goats are my favorite animal, hands down. I'm slightly behind for my age in tractor driving skills. I'm proud to be a homeschool graduate! Cows don't like me. I can't eat wheat, but I enjoy baking bread. Electric fences are amazing except when they aren't working. I love wool sweaters and hair sheep. I'm helping plant our farm's second orchard: my goats ate the first one. I'm an amateur writer who suffers from writer's block far too often. Earthworms are amazing! I drink kombucha and kvass. My two favorite plants are clover and wormwood. You can find the coolest stuff at thrift stores. This year I have a goal to can 500 quarts of tomatoes. I'm the oldest and soon to be shortest kid in my family. I've been known to eat ice cream for supper. If you aren't convinced I'm crazy yet, read my blog.
It SNOWED! ~ Winter Weather Barn Chores
Did it snow at your house last night? It did here! I’m just a big kid when it comes to snow. Even though it makes work around the farm a bit more challenging, I still absolutely love snow.
Anna and I made you a video this morning with all our grazing animals in the barns and enjoying the snow. Well, most of them were enjoying the snow. You will see that not all my darlings enjoy the snow as much as I do.
Enjoy!

Never Done Homestead Videos are BACK!
Hello from Never Done Homestead.
We are getting ready to slow down for the winter season after a super busy late summer/early fall. But before winter officially starts, we thought we should try to get a video made before we missed the entire fall season.
I think because it has been three months since we made a video (naughty, naughty), our movie-making skills feel a bit rusty. You will see what I mean when you watch the video below.
Oh, and fellow goat lovers, don’t panic about the lack of goats in this video. I still have my (awesome) goats. They just aren’t on pasture any more as they have migrated to their warm winter quarters. Video on that coming soon!
Ok, enough random chatter…Here is the video:
Take care friends!

Fall Mornings
Homestead Cheese & Chores
We finally have another video for you!
In today’s video, Anna and I each grabbed a camera and filmed parts of our day. I wasn’t sure how this was going to turn out, but I think you are going to enjoy the end product.
Let me know what you think!
Talk to you soon!

Want To See Our Garden?
How is your summer going? We have had an excellent summer so far. Everything is growing like weeds. Oh, and the weeds are growing like weeds, too. Go figure!
Before I announce today’s video, I wanted to let you know we are almost sold out of our pastured chicken for September 16. These are the last chickens for 2017, so don’t wait if you want to order!
Today’s video is a little different. It has *almost* no animals in it. Because ideally, you don’t want animals in the garden…
Yes, the video below is a garden tour. Now if gardening isn’t your thing, you might want to skip this video. But for those of you who are like me and love seeing your friends’ gardens, this just might be up your alley.
(SPOILER: There is a very short clip at the end with some really cute, NAUGHTY piglets!)
Ok, I’ll stop rambling! Take care friend!

It Feels Like Spring is Here Again!
Happy Friday from Never Done Homestead!
In Anna’s video for this week, we are making hay. Plus, some new baby animals have been born on the homestead.
Hope you have have a great holiday weekend!

Ever Tried To Wake A Milk Cow?
I bet you thought we fell off the face of the earth! We’ve had a lovely stretch of summer-like weather, and we ran with it. We had so much going on this week, we were only able to fit half of it in this video. So this movie should really be called part 1 of 2. 🙂
But before you go watch it, I have a quick announcement. We have added a third pick-up date for our pastured chicken. You can now order chicken for Sept. 9th. It’s not on the website yet, so you are the first to know about it! Our July chicken is already sold out, so don’t miss out!
So without further ado, here is today’s video:
Take care,
Sarah
What Are We Using To Cut The Grass?
Happy Saturday!
Have you ever fallen for peer pressure? Yeah, me too! And in this week’s video we fell for it again. It seems like all the other homesteaders have posted videos this week of trying to use an old fashioned scythe. So, we dug the scythe out of the barn. And tried it out…on video. 🙂
Don’t forget! This Friday, June 2, is the last day to order Pastured chicken for June. Get all the details HERE!
Have an awesome weekend!

🎥 Ever Wonder What Our Mornings Are Like? 🐓
Have you even wondered what our typical morning looks like here at Never Done Homestead? I get asked all the time how we move all these animals every day.
Well, you don’t have to wonder any more because my sister, Anna, has made a video showing how we get everybody where they are supposed to be every morning.
Enjoy!
