Do you know how stressful it is to borrow a bull & realize he's gone? Terrifying. Oh sweet Gert. Yesterday was a long & hot one.

Our cows date ended a bit early when I realized we were missing our borrowed boy toy. 100+ degrees & no clue other than some fresh 💩 outside our gate. Mr B had said he was there when he filled waters but apparently he can't count heads or tell a bull from a cow because as I started calling our surrounding neighbors, I get a game cam pic time stamped 3 AM. Cusswords & maybe a tear (possibly just sweat) began.

We checked my hunting neighbors ponds, luckily I have gate access & permission to forage & fish on his land. No Gertrude. I had notified the owners immediately & began to drive the culverrts & contact everyone between her & I. I don't know how much time had passed but I got a message he had made it home. He missed his herd & walked through several 10-20 acre parcels to get to them as we searched the woods. We headed over in case they needed assistance but he walked right back in. Thankfully there was a happy ending to this awful situation. All on me for the one day I didn't start my morning with a cow count.

I'm so thankful that Gerts owners have been so easy to work with. I think I was a thousand times more worried than she seemed to be but having good relationships with your neighbors means everything in times like this & no matter what we would have made it right.

None of us who live out here are best pals but we have created a great community . I immediately had help from our newest neighbor sending me pictures to know a direction. I immediately had permission to search three pieces of property without hesitation. We are all different people but we are all in this crazy life together & jump when needed.

I'm assuming my cows are bred & Gert got bored of them 🤣. I told Gerts owners that I'm hopeful when they borrow Bolt next year, he will have the same sense of GPS navigation, just in case. 🤣🤦🏻🥲

I intentionally made our new raised beds to be accessible to our daughters new all wheel drive wheelchair because gardens should be for everyone.

I definitely didn't math into the equation how huge the plants would grow but she can still get through the hoops & down the grapevine rows which means she will be helping me pick muscadines very soon.

If you want to see it in action, check out her reel. This thing is a beast & even has a lift feature. We took it on the back pasture for blackberry picking & she even got a visit from the Dexter cows. Getting her around the homestead has been such a great freedom for her after years of being only capable of our front porch. She's even taken it down the road to visit neighbors!

Love ya Accessibility with Aspen Sage

The key to their heart is frozen peas. My heart is full because I love spending time with these gorgeous Dewlaps. 🫛

So why Dewlap Toulouse? The main reason is they're the runner up in carcass size for a goose breed. We started out with Embden Geese, the most common commercial meat breed due to size, white feathering & fast growth. We fell in love with them & I began looking into other large breeds. When we saw the Dewlaps in a Netherland Parade, it was immediately. Seriously, Google "geeseparade" if you haven't seen it. It will make you SMILE.🪿

I pride myself with being more connected to my livestock than I am most humans. Many of you have seen the reel of my ducks being trained to go to bed at 5 PM via 80's rap so OF COURSE, I had to have parade geese for our homestead antics. 🎵

I'm already so excited to be bonding with them daily & our "pea time" is my favorite. I'm training them to a song for our future parade, & I'll need flamboyant volunteers when it finally happens, BONUS POINTS if you can play a kazoo or bagpipes maybe. In the mean time I bet you'll never guess what my song choice is... 🥁🪈🪊🇹🇬

It's peach season here in Oklahoma. Although not technically native, we do partake in seasonal offerings. Seasonal fruit is the proper way to allow small amounts of sugar into a healthy and balanced way of eating. A small peach contains 13 grams of sugar, on average. It always baffles me when some take something perfectly sweetened by nature and adds more sugar to it in the form of unhealthy jams, jellies, and pies etc. turning natures perfect product into something inflammatory, & blood sugar spiking.

Well friends, I promise you will not miss the sugar in my Sparkling Peach Chutney below!

Always pairing your natural, seasonal sugar (also known as fruit) with a large amount of quality protein and fat slows insulin response. Look at these seasonal treats as only small condiments to the main course for a more balanced way of eating that doesn’t have long lasting effects to your health like added table sugared jams and pies do. Your waistline, skin, heart, bones, blood and brain will thank you.

Sweet peach flesh can be used to contrast, complement and highlight the flavors in your favorite meals. It IS the sugar in a recipe. It works particularly well with grilled meats, and don’t even get me started on the magical combination of peaches and cheese, whether it be blue, goat, brie, cream or Gruyère.

So, what are some healthier ways to enjoy this lovely seasonal treat? The possibilities are endless.

Last night we had mesquite smoked chicken with balsamic grilled peaches topped with brie and basil. The peaches were soaked in balsamic vinegar (check labels for true balsamic without caramel coloring), then dusted with rosemary infused salt, pepper & cooked faced down on the grill. Fast and fabulous!

When trying out the recipes I’ve provided below, from my fresh Peach Salsa to my Peach Pepper BBQ Sauce remember that peeling the peaches are an optional choice for texture preference BUT here is a BONUS condiment to try:

Dehydrated Peach Powder! Don’t Throw those skins away. Instead, dehydrate them until crisp, throw the skins in the freezer (don’t skip this step: it creates a finer powder. This tip works for all herbs and seasonings by the way). Immediately grind the frozen skins while still cold in a coffee grinder or food processor. This concentrated flavor booster can be added to sparkling water for drinks, added back to sauces for thickening or natural sweetness but my favorite thing to do is dust a carnivore custard with it. A s*xy dessert without the guilt, inflammation or carbohydrate and sugar crash after the treat.

Want more ideas? I'm just getting started & my SUBSCRIBERS can check their feed or private group now for the printable recipe cards! ⤵️

I took the day to reflect on this & I think it deserves its own post.

I expect to get vegan hate but am often shocked when it comes from other farms or small homesteads. This one, who I do not know or follow had a lot to say but blocked me so I couldn't kindly debate her misinformation. Plenty of you did, so thank you. That choice was really unfortunate & to be honest, kind of cowardly. I was notified by a friend early on & then a new follower, who ironically found me through the below post. Welcome by the way! The few (3 to be exact) announcing they were "unfollowing" were replaced yesterday by 2000+ new followers, thanks in part to the below farms misplaced anger.

If a vegan troll comes at me, I just give stupid sass back but I truly try to connect with like-minded farms, those in different spaces of learning & even those who do things totally different than me. That's how we grow. For a farm to share this with misinformation without the goal to understand or discuss is wrong. Especially when sharing a screenshot, not the reel that would tag me to know I was being misconstrued, but also because she most likely monetized off the close to 400 comments, most defending me when they shouldn't have had to.

I decided to post a response from my personal page & instead of a reply, she chose to delete the entire feed which does nobody any good. Y'all we need to get more comfortable with discussions where we can kindly disagree & grow from it. All farms & homesteads look different. That shouldn't be a threat if we are all trying our hardest to do better than we did yesterday.

So, here was my response just so you know I'm truly not an as***le all the time, I just play one when some deserve that treatment. I don't believe this farm did, although I do wish we could have had a good conversation & possibly understood each other more in the end.

"Hi there! I've had so many people send me screenshots of your accusations & misinformation. I tried to hop on to kindly debate but found I was blocked.

Clearly enough logical minded people have come to my defense but I thought I'd politely share that if you watch the video, the chicken was beheaded. Because the body was lifeless but still limp when I found it, I did so to be sure no pain was felt. Anyone who has harvested birds understand ligaments & tendons move long after death as well as when being clamped down on (like a bite) as in the video.

I'll also mention that everyone should know & follow all local laws. Here in Oklahoma it is legal for farms to do this if the meat isn't going to be sold. A law often misunderstood & mainly to prevent time & temperature borne illnesses from restaurant & grocery waste to enter the picture & usually much more prevelent in concentrated food operations.

I'm sorry you've had some rough months. I hope you can take a moment to see that in that, you may have poorly judged another family just trying to make it & feed their own. I hope things get better for you, life tends to throw all of us challenges but us farmers are tougher than we want to have to be.

☮️❤️🤗- Bad Baxter Farm"

Crickets. But at least I tried 🤷‍♀️

Edited to add: if she still has the post up please do not give her the attention or comment. She's making money off my reel at this point. The best thing you can do is report it. Thanks!

Since we've had a massive inflow of new people here, I felt the need for a intro reshare. I've also thrown in some extra pics of my poor, starved, mistreated, chicken eating pigs of past & present. Look, I'm even marinating the adults today. If only the grocery store pork was this loved & cared for. Hope y'all stay cool & have a wonderful day! ⤵️

Hi, I'm Blaze, this is my face. I make mistakes. I'm not always right, nor always wrong. I'm a human, a mother, a wife, a friend , a health coach & yes, sometimes an as***le.

This page is a monarchy not a democracy.

Sound brutal? So are keyboard warriors with the added boredom of a meagar way of life on their fingertips.

I started this page over 10 years ago with the intention of giving a glimpse of our crazy homestead life to others trying to learn & laugh as they go. A place free of the daily bu****it that makes us sick & tired. To build people up when they fall but also speak the cold hard truth, & the truth is, this lifestyle, it ain't easy.

PLEASE NOTE!

I do not go to your vegan page, call you names, & try to educate you on how you're causing damage to your health & especially your long term cognitive function, as well as our earth- soil, air, water or that my way of life is technically more "vegan" than yours. You won't accept it.

I do not go to your snake obsession groups & tell you that you have an unhealthy relationship with your food (snake is in fact, delicious ) or that it's inappropriate to the circle of life, to threaten human beings over a serpent. You won't get it.

I do not go to your creepy & weird ass spidey clubs and tell you that it's not intellectually stable to have "pet" VENOMOUS spiders, purposely purchased, to live freely in your home. Nor do I send private messages threatening your children & family because we don't agree on a said topic. You aren't capable of understanding the depths of that wrong.

I don't even go to other homestead pages & educate them on the inflammation I see in their unhealthy faces, skin, bodies from their sourdough bread & sugar filled canned jams. You won't stop rationalizing addiction until you're ready.

Guess what? I can still love all y'all listed above & (shocking, I know) still be friends! Heck, I learn from every UN-like-minded person I follow but I also respect them enough not to come at them on their own posts, on their pages, where they're CHOOSING to open up & share their life with me & the world. I support & share what I love & (GASP!) scroll on past (maybe with a silent eye roll) what I disagree with. No hate necessary.

If you engage in content on my page, it's a COMPLETELY different story....

You'll be served a straight up dose of tough love, sarcasm, satire, & inappropriate humor, sometimes at my expense, but mostly at yours. You'll most likely get confused as to which approach was utilized. You're also likely to need to take a time out, hug your knees & rock the pain of it all away in a dark closet, wondering what just happened.

If you're new here, you know I love hard & share, respond with care, try to help (even when I shouldn't) but I also take no s**t or excuses. The world is so used to being sold sugar coated s**t & atta boy awards that honesty becomes offensive.

I have zero care to anyone else's personal politics, religion & s*x (or who they have it with) & try to keep my page free of those toxic & divisive topics.

If something here offends you, the interwebs are not safe & you need to exit it, or at least my page. I'm not a PG-13 kinda gal. I make the rules here & just because I have the sense to know we can be pals & in the real world, I won't go at you if we don't agree, people don't give me the same luxury when it comes to our homestead page.

I started this for fun but it's a lot of work & I don't make enough $ for it to feel that way. Enjoy it or don't, but I won't change how I respond. I am not responsible for your feelings or beliefs. I do not have to entertain them, the threats, rude & stupid comments, name calling etc. but I might if I'm in the mood to make a troll cry, or need the boost in reach & I won't lie, the monetization helps but my cows hay.

I know my true "people " & they know my passion. They don't have to spend a dime on me for me to know who supports our family & way of life.

If you'd like me to care about something that I don't, please feel free to send cash. I also take Venmo & PayPal. I'll think about it over the bribatory steak dinner you funded. Basically ,all this as a nice way of saying "if you aren’t feeding, f**king, or financing me, keep your bullying & Idiocracy to yourself."

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. Carry on....

Baby Bolt isn't a baby anymore but he sure is acting like one right now. Poor Lightning ⚡ Bolt Baxter is locked up in my milking pen while the mamas are on a hot date with another baby daddy. Men are such needy crybabies, aren't they? 🤣🤷‍♀️ I tried allowing him our mid pasture but he jumped the front fence to get to his herd so for a little longer, he's on lock down with lots of hay & poultry who come to harass him.

The Hard Truth. On this farm, death feeds life.

I found a dead hen this morning. No marks. Possibly heat related. I tossed her to the pigs. Gone in 90 seconds. Feathers, bones, everything.

Some may call it gross. Complain about the visual.
Nature is cruel, but nature isn’t wasteful. Some people would bury or toss the body. That waste is disrespectful of the beast. That hen becomes bacon & bacon feeds my family. A dead chicken in a landfill grows maggots & methane. A dead chicken in a pig grows meat & closes the loop.

Would I feed them a diseased animal? No. Unknown cause of death with no symptoms and no flock illness? That’s a cull, not a biohazard. Know your herd. Know your risk. This is management, not savagery.

Death isn’t the enemy on a farm. Waste is. Nothing dies for nothing here. That’s the deal we make with the land. I watch this & appreciate the fact that the pigs get nourishment while hoping the bird went swiftly because in nature it isn't usually that way. We lost a baby calf to wild hogs last Spring & seeing this scenario makes me sad all over again, knowing that it was ripped to shreds, while alive.

So I had two choices:
Bag her up & let her rot in a landfill. Feed rats & contribute to garbage inducing methane or give her back to the farm. Let her become pork, become energy, become life again. My pigs didn’t kill her. They’re just the cleanup crew. Coyotes do it. Buzzards do it. The soil does it. I’m just speeding up what happens anyway.

If you eat meat, this is part of the deal. If you don’t, that’s your health choice (or lack of) but don’t tell me letting her rot in plastic is more “humane” than letting her feed something else.

Death is input. Life is output. You can’t have one without the other no matter what you choose to eat. Hiding from it doesn’t make you moral. Using it does. Our homestead rule is simple. Respect the animal in life, respect the animal in death & the highest form of respect is to waste nothing. Yes, Nature is cruel, but it’s efficient.

When I lived in California, I used to visit a butcher shop to pick up beef & always grabbed some of these stuffed pickled peppers by the pound as well. They would look to be a healthy snack but they were sitting there bathing in seed oils. I've missed them ever since I got wise to the health detriments of vegetable oils on the body so I have finally perfected my own.

The family approved & already the first jar is long gone. No seed oils to be had, no sodium benzoate or other preservatives, just home grown goodness straight from the farm.

So if you want to learn how I made my own stuffed pickled peppers, check out our subscribers feed & private group. It's where all the cool kids go. From videos on learning how to castrate pigs to all the recipes to the foods I post. ⤵️

One of my weekly tasks this time of year is keeping up with the peppers. After picking this morning I started a Habanero ferment & Sriracha ferment. I made a Tabasco sauce & after straining the pulp it went into the dehydrator with the Jalapenos, Cayenne & Aji Chiltepin to make spice blends. Through the years we've found our favorite ferments & hot sauces to can for long term storage but once I stockpile enough, I'll get creative & try a few new things. I know I've shared it before but I've had this book for six years no & it's still my absolute favorite book for spicy ferments. I can proudly say we have made every single recipe in this book. It even helped me "create" a personal favorite we call Green Habanero Crack & we use it on everything from eggs to steak. ⤵️
