For today's Pantry Chat, I'm joined by Lisa Bass from @FarmhouseonBoone and we're diving into the most common sourdough misconceptions and putting these myths to rest!
Both Lisa and I have been baking with sourdough for over a decade and have come to learn that you don't always have to "follow the rules" or be so strict.
If you'd like to learn even more myths (or mistakes) that are commonly believed or made with sourdough, check out the blog post here: https://homesteadingfamily.com/sourdough-mistakes/

Over the past couple of years we've known there needed to be some changes in our dairy system. As Tilly, our milk cow, continued to get older, we decided it was time to layer in a new dairy cow. But we never guessed we'd be getting ten gallons of milk each day!
Find out how we've changed our routines, the investments we've made that have cut our processing time in half, and what we plan to do in the future.
