Winding Oaks Homestead

First canning of the season.

First pick for this year.

Unfortunately due to increasing costs of feed in the fall and the 1st of the year, we have to increase our price of eggs. Duck eggs are now $6 dz and chicken eggs are $5 dz.

Our little homestead is doing great. Thanks to everyone who supports us.

Been doing this for 4+ yrs, absolutely ❤️goat milk natural soaps!!!
Making a few different kinds of goat milk soap for Christmas presents. Pic is after most were already wrapped and given away. From top to bottom: goat milk rose soap (and I don’t even like flowery scents), goat milk pine tar soap (very manly scent), goat milk rosemary mint soap(invigorating tingle) and goat milk lavender oat soap. I have a few different kinds up my sleeve for next time! Thank you to Cassie for giving me some advice and encouragement!

If you’ve eaten our free range chicken or duck eggs, home grown fruit jams, purchased a heritage breed turkey chick (or full grown) yougurt, goat milk or even purchased a kid (baby goat) from us before. We’d be ever so appreciative if you could leave us a review with your experience so it’ll help others to find our homestead. Repeat customers are the best kind… Thanks so much!

I can post this now that it’s been given! Oldest daughter, Jilleighan had been bugging me about how I have’t made her HS tee shirt quilt yet… it’s only been a year and a half!! Anyway, Jill got it for her ‘make a gift’ this year for Christmas. She loved it!!

This is what winter canning looks like. Thoroughly enjoyed being outside in the cool air and getting this done. 107 pints of dried beans put up (black, pinto, small red kidney and navy beans) + 24 pints canned for my MIL. I think it’s time for a new canner…

Just because it’s been HOT doesn’t mean these girls haven’t been working hard @ laying eggs! Come and git ya some! $4dz

I’ve been canning a lot of jam recently!
