Rose is so beautiful. That is what a woman who is loved looks like.
I second that.
I third that. I said it a long time ago.
She looks at her husband with so much love and there kids are the Best
So, true.
Rose is beautiful in ALL ways. I truly admire her kind heart and soul ❤
Truer words Jeff! Finding your community and learning self-reliant ways of life are paramount in not just surviving today but THRIVING!
Rose, You are FANTASTIC! Learning, and practicing skills that you've learned AND THEN passing that knowledge on is the most rewarding thing in life next to child rearing! I've been watching you all for years! Still enjoying AND learning! 🎉
Howdy
I just wanted you guys to know that me and my house look up to you guys. We have a few girls to and we are trying to teach them how to homestead and they love watching your videos
Thank you guys!
YESSSS... building a COMMUNITY FAMILY of like minded decent folks is fantastic guys❤❤❤
We add cinnamon or other herbs to butter at holidays. You could do the same to the crème cheese just for a change
You are so right about needing a community and the Pandemic showed anyone who was paying attention that we need to go back to being more self sufficient. I learned how to make sourdough and now make all our bread, burger buns, hot dog buns, naan, pita….it all tastes so much better! Thanks for sharing what you know!
thank you for joining X! my grandparents had a small family farm in the 50's too, supporting 2 families. now it seems only the Amish (and you) can do that...
That is exactly why we started our forest Homestead, we wanted to ensure that our kids knew that you didn't have to rely on grocery stores or really anybody else to succeed in life. Now that's not saying that you shouldn't have people to help support you or for you to help support other people. Like a good community they do help each other. In fact I showed my wife a few of your videos, and I gave her the confidence that we could succeed. So you are potentially a big reason why we are off grid right now. So thank you and keep on doing what you're doing.
Hey Gridlessness, love you videos they all ways inspire me to become more self sufficient and reliant on the land that the Lord has given to all of us to work! Thank you and God bless!
What a great practical family of useful people
we had a farm close to my home that sold cream, we would go every Sunday and get 2 quarts and make ice cream (hand churned) for 10 kids plus mom and dad, that was in the 60's
We used to make ice cream like that. By the time they motorized the ice cream maker, we were eating store bought ice cream.
That bite is a perfect example of: you reap what ya sow!❤
Kristin, did you change your last name?
I need a Rose! The best part of having a marriage is the team work. Developing a community is imperative but also difficult.
I grew up on a mini ranch and wanted to go self sufficient instead of entering the work force. I got in a little trouble for bringing it up. You're show is very heart warming to see
Living in Western, NY, so close to the US/Canadian border you seem to be the stereotypical Civilized, Polite, Canadians we've known and loved as friends and neighbors all our lives. What a refreshing break from the left/right food fight and power struggle both our countries seem to be locked in with no end in sight. Just subscribed!
My brother lived at Notch Hill for many years (67-90), I wonder if he knew your Grand parents? My Niece in law still owns her Grandpas farm in Colour Valley/Notch Hill, What a beautiful place to have roots, it is great to see you carrying on family traditions!
Jeffs enthusiasm rubs off on every video. Dave probably doesn't realize how much fun having someone like Jeff as a neighbor is but in small doses. LOL
Whatever happened to Dave; we don't see him in the videos anymore, or it seems like a long time.
I love Dave his dry humor is a beautiful thing.. he and Jeff are a great pair like Steve Martin & Martin short.. Yes, we want more Dave..
Many of the projects that the Gridlessness family does are amazing. Part of that is that the project is amazing but mostly it is the fact that the Gridlessness family is amazing. Jeff, Rose and all the girls are such fantastic people, that is what brings us back looking for more amazing videos.
Hi! We always watch but rarely comment. You hit home with us today, when you mentioned a community, friends. It's what makes this YT journey the best part. We have subscribed to channels and made friends that we would have never met otherwise. Best part is we get excited when they post. Enjoying watching your journey. Homemade butter and cream cheese is the best and you explained the process very well! Another great video. See you on the next one!
Hey !!! I know you
@@SteveandSusiesHomestead You sure do! Hi you two! This family is awesome! TY for saying hi Steve and Susie!
Thé way you looked at Rose when you said that the cheese cheese was fluffy, absolutely adorable (coming from a 50 y/o tattooed head to foot man 😂) but seriously, I hope yo find a love like that before I die. I was also thinking that you should reach out to the brand Smithey and see if they would send you some of their cast iron to put through real homestead life. They make freaking awesome pans. Thank you all that you do for the homestead community, I watch several and I can say yours is the one I look forward to every week.
Love how you are returning to community as the world tries divide and concor. May have to join X after all😮
I'm fairly new to your channel and I'm with you on your ideas of becoming more self sufficient. I don't know what part of Canada you're from, but I know there are a lot of Hutterite Colonies around Southern Manitoba. Hutterites are a lot more open minded than the Amish as far as technology goes, but they do have a strong community. Maybe you could visit a Hutterite community to gather some inspiration. BTW, as an American, I appreciate your loyalty to American made products. I am currently driving my third Canadian built Chevy, so the loyalty goes both ways!
I believe they are in BC!
Such a beautiful wholesome family. I absolutely LOVE this channel
Found your your channel tonight I live in the UK 🇬🇧 x army for for 20 years and I love watching your channel you got great family so fun
Greetings from the land of Blaze King where we're having an old fashioned warm Okanagan winter thus far. Made for a quiet hunting season, but hopefully easier on the ungulates. Thanks for the video, I'm old enough to remember running a cream separator and have the local creamery truck pick up the cream can from our place. Still have the family cream can from back when. All the best to you all up there.
Привет из Сибири ! У нас похожие природы, климат и хозяйственная деятельность с вами. Спасибо за интересные и поучительные видео рассказы !
community is where it is at!
Been watching a long time and I gotta tell you that there are a lot of folks that want to be off grid and do homesteading but there are also a lot of those folks that are not creative and mechanical minded, and I think you really have to have a bit of both in order to make it.
I love watching every episode, and it's been a journey watching your family grow and thrive. You now have my support on X, and I know why. Keep doing what you're doing.❤
Thank you for sharing your lives with us from Anthony and Amanda
Jeff I say this out of love.... Simular and similar mean two very different things. 19:05
I believe in betterment and helping build people up. The idea of community of like minde people is spot on.
Keep up the great work and I appreciate learning while watching your family progress upwards.
So simular sounds similar to similar?
That is two people that are so beautiful when you see her look at her husband you see how much she's so 2 awesome people with wonderful kids
She's so in love with her husband
So Rose, obtain a sun tea jar and put the fresh milk into it, refrigerate till seperate the cream, drain the 2% out the bottom and there is your cream left for use.....other do this and say it works great...
I am an Iranian woman living in Sweden for the last 40 years. I watch a lot of homesteading channels on you tube But your family is different. I love each and everyone of you and everything you do. I feel the gridlessness in all of you.
I wish all foreigners would leave Sweden. A once perfectly safe and beautiful society is now the rape capital of the world. 😠
Hello. I have, and use, a griswold cast iron skillet with a lid that my great grandmother used in the late 1800's and gave it to my grandmother in the early 1930's. My mother ended up with in th e 1970's and I have had it since the early 1990's. I use this skillet alomost every day.
Omgoodness... My mouth is watering!!! Well done!!! Thank you!
Would love to watch Rose make all her different styles of cheeses
I have a collection of old Griswold cast iron pans, the smooth ones work the best, but I would take a Lodge if I couldn't find the old ones. Good luck on X.
Rose makes the cheese and Jeff cuts the cheese. (Ba, Dump, Bump, Cheese) Now if you use Sarah's honey, Rose could make homemade whipped honey butter, for homemade cornbread. I thought it was funny when Jeff said his grandparents vlogged on their homestead. I'm sure Jeff meant they journaled on their homestead. There were no video camera's being sold at the consumer level in the 1950's. It's not just Jeff. All brains cut the cheese every so often. It's normal. Even cows cut the cheese which Greta say's creates glow ball wore ming. :-I
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY everyone and you are right
X connected, glad to see you here in the future. He He...always love your content here and will continue over on x.
I grew up on a dairy farm and did my share of milking the cows. Of course we always had all the cream, milk and butter that we wanted. It was great 😊. Glad y'all are able to have cows and the raw dairy they provide!
I'm an American living in Rural Brazil and I know a much easier process. All I do is boil my milk daily and then store it in the refrigerator. Each time I go to use that milk, there will be a cream layer on top. I collect that every day and put in the freezer. Then when I have enough, I simple use a whisk by hand and within minutes I have butter. Of course using cold water at one point in the process. I don't do any other that other stuff or add any other ingredients. Learned how to do this when I lived in India.
If you get one of those one gallon glass jars with a tap in the side at the bottom. You can drain out the skimm milk. leaving the cream
behind then just pour it off. No need to sit there skimming off the cream.
Boy! Truely love these videos, thank you for sharing.
Homesteading with the Zimmermans on youtube you will like Rose. The lady has lots of helpful things about Bread making, canning, milk, cheeses, clotted cream and gardening. Etc.
Thanks, I’ll check them out!
Sad we are losing our small family dairy farmers here in the US. Minnesota lost 144 farms in November. Great video content, thanks.
Oregon is shutting down small farmers. You cannot even have a backyard garden. This all started when the President of a big agriculture (I think Dairy) business became head of the Oregon Department of Agriculture. Now his business has no competition.
A video on making Colby cheese with a recipe , please.
All the ones I've seen have had a bunch of electronics and fancy equipment. I would like a simple off grid recipe so I can make it too.
This is a great informative video made with fun and love
This is the BEST butter hack ever! I spend hours every week making our own butter by hand shaking it in jars. It is such a tedious process and did not know about the temperature tip. I tried a hand butter mixer, kitchenaid just spattered milk all over my kitchen, old fashioned hand mixers that people told us "only took 10 minutes"... i never had butter under an hour, but sometimes 3 if it was a busy day and i needed to put it down. I just settled on shaking jars so i could shake with one hand and do other things with the other hand. So tedious and time consuming.
I doubted this process with all my failures so far... but put it in my blender, temped it to 62, and started my blender (it has a "dough" button with a dough mixer"
It was so fast and easy! Thanks for the tips!! Yay easy butter!
I’m so happy for you and your new love for making easy butter! 😅
Jeff and Rose, you are a joy to watch. The way Rose looks at you Jeff, She absolutely loves you. This is so impossible to fake. Thanks for sharing your butter tips.
This was a cool video. I can't wait to get some livestock. Keep up the great work.
I love making my own butter!!
But i just leave the cream to warm up to room temperature, then put it into a container and just shake it.
Youd be surprised how quickly the butter comes up.
So homesteading is part of your heritage , that paints a clearer picture for me. Great video
You guys are great! Everyone can aspire to live a more self sufficient life no matter where they live on what ever level. You’re all such an inspiration. You’re talents Rose are priceless. 👍🏻
I hope this is helpful and I haven't been able to find any information on this on the internet but I use Caspian sea yoghurt to make cream cheese. It's a mesophilic yoghurt that ferments at room temperature so you will always have some to make cream cheese. I use a 1:10 ratio of CS yoghurt to cream and leave it to ferment for a few days just on the counter top then strain.
Good show you guys. I am gonna make butter. We used to do it as kids too
Oh sure, I could do it too... if I was married to Rose. She is exceptional to say the least. The two of you have created a home and family that are basically what God intended a family to be. I think the world you and I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for being splendid role models in a time where it couldn't possibly be more important. God Bless You All!
We love you guys what a great family my 2 boys love watching and learning awsome job
At any level I think community is not only essential but enjoyable. I grew up in farm country with a few "old school" cooks, my Mom was one. They always shared ideas and resources and didn't do it to become wealthy. They did it to survive. Luckily for me there are a few of them left and when I get invited for a meal I do not miss it.
The biggest lesson I've learned from watching this channel, and a couple of others is...when you spend many hours a day doing hard physical work for weeks and months, you can eat ANY "high calorie" foods- especially all the dairy foods that scientists say are not healthy. Simply BECAUSE you use up such a lot of calories. 100 or more years ago obesity was more likely to happen in the "rich" folks of the world. Ironically, the rich folks these days just have cosmetic surgery and/or private gym trainers, or can afford the "organic" foods now grown in huge amounts ( I have my doubts about the veracity of those "organic" labels though.) 🙃
Great stuff. I remember squirting the dogs direct from the teat like that, it was their reward for helping bring in the cows and my horse waiting to lick out the feed bowl after the cow was milked.
I have not seen your videos for awhile, seems like YT was not putting them in my feed, so I had some catching up to do, thanks for your channel.
Glad you checked back!
Totally 💯 motivates me. Been buying my raw dairy and food from a local farm and haven’t made cheese yet because it seems overwhelming. However, I’m going to go for it because Rose, you rock! Thanks for being the coolest people ever. Love from the Adirondacks NYS USA. “A”
it's so funny watching on YT city folk rediscovering ''farm life''... I grew up on a farm, working the fields, raising animals, etc... it's just ''life'' for some people... those who already live it... I'm not living it anymore, I moved on to life, even changed continents, but that's all that matters... every time you ''move on'' you carry a bit of the old with you!... and that makes everybody's journey unique... similar maybe, but never the same!
[btw, living alone in the big city in my 60s doesn't stop me from baking my own bread, making my own pasta, and chees, and wine, and all kinds of things that I used to do... ]
This video is about how beautuful and talented Rose is.
My mouth is watering just watching your video. You guys are fabulous.
My daddy said that there was a creek that ran across their 40 acres north of mountain view Arkansas and they would keep their butter in a wooden box that was in the stream, that was their refrigeration. My grandparents lived a half a mile from a dairy and we would go get whole milk and watch the cream rise to the top and grandma would make all kinds of good stuff😋 Mama's uncle had his dairy farm. They were all over the place price 60 years ago.
A wonderful sharing of
Homestead culinary arts...always a pleasure!
👍🦊🧙♂️🐺👍
love your channel i live in the suburbs my off grid thing is my vegy patch man i love growing our own vegies , beats store bought every time cheers from south australia
You should try making yogurt also. It's a very similar process almost easier. Then you can strain the yogurt roll it into one or two inch balls and store it under olive oil. It can be kept at room temperature. Some people also add herbs to it. Typically it would be spread on bread or toast.
I agree with you that you really need a community to support each other in being off grid homesteaders. But I also think that if you want to do than just get started. With the abundance of CZcams videos available to help with homesteading these days it’s much easier to be successful. When I was young I relied on my old uncle and aunt who visited me several times each year, to teach me what I needed to know. I learned about growing my own garden for fruits and vegetables. I raised chickens for eggs and for eating. I had cows that produced calves and milk, pigs for meat etc. My aunt taught me how to make jams, pickles and preserves etc. we lived really well and raised 2 children and 4 grandchildren plus several foster children. It was the best life. I’m not capable of doing this now as I’m old and crippled but I recommend it to everyone.
Y’all are awesome. There’s a lot of love here
you can also use citrus fruits and vinegar to make cheese.
My mother made the butter in a quart jar, by shaking it. Also we had a cream separater that we had in the porch. We sold the cream and gave the skim milk to the calves .And yes we had 10 cows. that my brother, my father, and I would do the milking.
As the oldest kid of 4 boys, during the mid 50s, I was handed the quart jar with cream in it to shake into butter. I was also the one that milked the neighbor's cow each morning and evening. I got paid 10 cents per day of milking and mom bought the raw milk for something like 50 cents per gallon.
Great video, new subscriber. There were lots of I Love These People moments, but you hooked me with, "in this world of cheap stuff made off shore, you can still get an American made, we are Canadian, but we still like American made and Canadian made stuff, we appreciate that." Love your energy and great content.
We used to make butter in a 2 quart jar by beating the jar full of cream on our legs, for a long while, and then added renit to make it yellow to look like butter. Some people drank the whey, no thank you, I thought it was gross. We grew up west of the town of Peace River, on the south side of the mighty Peace River.
I remember as a child my grandmother making butter with a churn it had a handle with a paddle and you would lift and turn the handle. She had a mold and it would make round cakes of butter with a flower on the top. We had a milk cow at one time other times we bought milk.
So glad I found your sight...what a delightful family you have!
this incredible woman can make anything! feels like we can even count on her for the FTL engine!👍
Y'all are living my dream, one day I will too.
I keep saying, use a sun tea jar with a spicket on the bottom .Wait until the cream rises then drain the whey out the spicket, leaving the cream in the jar...cheap, easy, practical
Brillant!! I buy organic butter at Costco for $8.99...seeing how things are so expensive in the city this really inspires me to look for a rural property and learn more about food production....As a plumber with 30 plus years experience we certainly needs different mates with different skills, the community idea is brilliant...Watching your girls have commando attitude, I feel Ive raised two wet noodles....If you offer a youth camp I have two noodles to send....
Both my kids, daughter 50, son 48, are into high tech. I figger that when I kick the bucket, they will sell off everything to buy more high tech. The money won't last long as they spend it like their mother did.
Absolutely love this whole video! You guys are absolutely Wonderful! 😊
I enjoy all you videos, but this one was one of the best! So wholesome.
I don't do any social media other than Facebook!
And so you know,,, you've actually created your own "book" in these videos!
Aloha. I don’t even do Facebook.
My social media consists of me commenting on the videos I watch. Back and forth between commentors is pretty uncommon.
Greetings from finland! Keep up the videos, they are wholesome!
Maybe think of starting a Discord for Gridlessness? Sorry if this has already been suggested but that would be an awesome way to interact with your community and whatnot.
Jeff and Rose I try not to miss your videos, I love the fact that you're raising the girls to be self-sufficient, being hunters and gathers, mechanics butchers, and builders, where are the two girls missing from your video, would love to see what they have become and what their doing now
You guys are amazing - wishing you all a wonderful 2nd advent
Pulse that blender another 15 seconds before draining..
I pull my cream out the ice cooler and food process 6 seconds per quart
1tsp salt per pound of cream cheese
That sandwich looks amazing!
I have and use Lodge Cast Iron, but don't live in the wilds of Canada. That sandwich looks amazing, then again, everything I've seen Rose make looks yummy.
You have a beautiful family brother.❤🍁
The mesophilic culture usually contains a mixture of 3-4 different Lactococcus strains, some that produce more acid and at least one that produce more diacetyl. Then there's usually one strain of Leuconostoc there also. They can of cause be grow separatley and mixed, but it's complicated to freeze dry them (not nessasary either)
Is this the rennet they traditionally get from a calf's digestive system (usually an unwanted bull)? That's how they made hard cheeses but I'm not sure about soft ones.
I just wish the rest of every one had your happiness. ❤
I think my arteries clogged up just by watching this... Great vid. guys.
Rose, look up clotted cream 🤤 it’s a Cornish recipe (England)
Ooohhhh i will!
@@Gridlessness you won’t be disappointed 🤤
Says plenty about grocery store bought dairy products. Nothing better than home made. Everything in the store is processed.. its why its so fattening..
I make my own butter & mayonnaise. Its hard to find good cream...
Thanks for sharing..❤️🙏🙋🏼♀️🐈🐕🇺🇲
WONDERFUL FAMILY !!!! LOVE THE MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF VIDEO CONTENTS !!!!! CHEERS AND GOD BLESS ~~~~~~~~~~
