Linton-Hornbeck_Homestead Farming/homestead in the Appalachian. We have cattle, pigs, chickens, and we also have ducks that have settled in and made their home here at the farm.

Gardening and processing our own food is one of my favorite things to do.

Another little bit of winter prep done today! 🍯🍋

I made a batch of homemade honey cough drops with just 4 ingredients. They were pretty simple to make and now I’ll have some put back for when they’re needed. ❤️

Who else is starting to get things ready for winter? ❄️

🍯 Homemade Honey Cough Drops
You'll need:
• 1 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger (or ½ teaspoon ground ginger)
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon

How to make them:
Add everything to a heavy-bottom saucepan.
Heat over medium-low heat, stirring until it starts simmering.
Cook until it reaches 300°F on a candy thermometer.
Remove from the heat and let cool for about 5 minutes.
Drop small spoonfuls onto parchment paper or use a silicone mold.
Let them cool completely and harden.

That's it! 🍯❤️

Honey should not be given to children under 1 year old.

Oh look, Mom's home! 🐔

I pulled in the driveway and here they all come running down to greet me. They must think I've got treats every time I come home. 😂❤️

🧄🍯 If you're wanting to start making some natural remedies at home, this is a super easy one to start with!

This is fermented garlic honey. Basically, you're letting fresh garlic sit in raw honey for a few weeks. The garlic and honey ferment together and make a sweet, garlicky mixture that people have used for generations.

The hardest part is peeling all that garlic 😂 After that, it's pretty simple!

🧄 Peel your garlic and put it in a clean jar.
🍯 Pour raw honey over it until the garlic is covered.
🫙 Leave a little room at the top because it'll bubble as it ferments.
🔄 Turn the jar every day or two to keep the garlic coated.
💨 If you're using a regular lid, carefully loosen it every so often to let the pressure out.
⏰ Let it sit for a few weeks and let it do its thing!
Once your garlic sinks to the bottom, that's a good sign it's ready! 🧄🍯

Garlic and honey are known for their antioxidant and antimicrobial properties and are often used to help soothe a sore throat and cough and for general immune support.
I love having simple homemade things like this on hand, especially with cold and flu season coming up! ❤️

There's just something about a young rooster learning to crow that makes me smile first thing in the morning. 🐓❤️

He's still trying to figure it out 😂 but he's getting there!

That little squeaky crow is becoming part of my morning around here. 🌾🐔

Anybody else love hearing their roosters crow in the morning?

The “ber” months are finally here! 🍂❤️ And on this 1st day of September, my house already smells absolutely amazing! 😋

I made some Amish bread this morning and that cinnamon smell has the whole house smelling like fall. 🍞🍂

There’s just something about warm bread baking that makes a house feel extra cozy.
Hello September… I think I’m ready for you! 🍁❤️

🐔 Well... tonight didn't go quite as planned. 😂

I had a chicken sitting on a nest of eggs for WAY over 21 days and not a single one hatched. So this evening I decided to try again and put 24 eggs in the incubator.

Well... about 2 hours later the incubator stopped working and smelled like it had been burning. 😩🤦‍♀️

So now I'm sitting here wondering what in the world I'm gonna do with these 24 eggs!

Do I put them under my broody hen and hope for the best, or what would y'all do? 🐣

Tell me it’s canning season without telling me it’s canning season. 😂

My kitchen has officially been taken over. Every counter is full, the table is full, jars are everywhere, the floors are a mess, and don’t even get me started on the dishes. 🤦‍♀️😂

I’ve been canning from daylight to dark and honestly… I’m tired. I’m just tired. 😫😂

I love having a full pantry and knowing we put all this food up ourselves, but whew… this canning season is wearing this girl OUT! 🫙❤️

We're a little late, but life has been busy around here.

We're getting ready for sick season and making some things to have on hand. Today we made fire c***r! 🌶️🍋🧄

Ours is a little darker because I didn't have turmeric root, just turmeric powder. But hopefully it still turns out good! Now we just have to let it sit for a few weeks. 😊

Tomorrow we plan to make fermented honey garlic.
