Free Range, Pastured Chicken

Free Range Pastured Chicken

Our Chickens are moved two to three times a day! They get new fresh pastures, not only every day, but several times a day! Happy, Healthy, Chickens means healthy Chicken! Free Range, Pastured Chicken! 

According to PasturedBird.com, “Compared to barn-raised and conventionally-raised chickens, Pasturebird poultry has been shown to have three times the omega-3s, 50 percent more vitamin A, D, and E, and 21 percent less saturated fat. Simply put, healthier chickens make for healthier chicken.”

Now, at Briden Farm, we don’t stop there! In addition to our birds getting quality pasture, they also get lots of fresh clean water! Yes, it too, helps too! 

Not only do we insure they have fresh pasture, and clean water, we also add barley, corn, oats, wheat, and Human Grade Hemp Seed Feed! High Proteins, Omegas, Essential Oils, and more! 

Are You beginning to see the difference! The true difference is in the taste! From the first bite to the last! Briden Farm, Free Range, Pastured Chicken is incredible!

Farmhouse Recipes: Bear with Me Valentines Cake

Bear With Me Valentines Cake

One of my favouritest treats when I was a kid was when my Mom would make Chocolate Cake! I still love Chocolate Cake, but it has to be good!

A good recipe for chocolate cake is hard to find! So, when I made this Bear Cake for Valentines it was a pleasant surprise to have it turn out so good! 

This little Bear with Me Valentines Cake was a hit! So cute, and so very delicious! That’s why we’ve chosen to make this our Farm House Recipe!

One Bowl Chocolate Cake

Please note that this cake batter is very liquidy! All most to the point of making one wonder if it’s going to be ok! It is! 

For the Icing, at least the main icing recipe…

Lantic Sugar Icing Recipes
I used the one on the bag of Lantic Sugar

Of course I did tweak it, I added some Watkins Raspberry Extract Flavouring. 
I also used Watkins Baking Vanilla, which is actually Watkins Double Strength Vanilla, rebranded as Baking Vanilla. Which means You only have to use half what the recipe calls for! 

The other thing I changed was the Half and Half Cream. We didn’t have any so, I did a Google Search and found three good ones over on Spruce Eats. The one I used was the table spoon of Butter and cup of Whole Milk. Of course the recipe only called for 90ml and not wanting to waste anything …

I made two specialty coffees with the left over half and half substitute! Adding some Watkins Caramel Flavour and a little Honey! 

Now, for the decorating icing, I found a recipe for Butter Cream Icing, and I found that at BettyCrocker.com. You can always count on good ole Betty! 

I’ve mentioned a few of the Products I used were from Watkins Products Company. A company that started way back in 1868. Well over 150 years ago! I sell those products, and if you’d like more info on that you can visit JustGoNatural.com  Needless to say, since it’s been around for that long! You just know Watkins Products are good! 

So, since this cake turned out so well, I am looking forward to making another Cake! Although it may not be quite as well decorated! Lol. 

By the way, even the Sprinkles on the Cake come from Watkins! As did the Food Colouring!

Farmhouse Recipes: Oatmeal Pancakes

Oatmeal Pancakes

One of our favourite recipes here at Briden Farm is Oatmeal Pancakes. We have used the recipe without fail for years, and we found the original recipe in …

The Harrowsmith Cookbook Vol Two

The Harrowsmith Cookbook Volume Two

Of course we always mix it up a bit! On Purpose! Although it’s great exactly as it’s written on Pg. 21 of Harrowsmith Cookbook, we still like to make little adjustments. As we do with most all our food! 

So, here’s what we do…

We pour 2.5 cups of Briden Farm Goat Milk over 1.5 Cups of Oatmeal. Usually letting it sit for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile we sift together a cup of flour, a Tablespoon of brown sugar. Then about a half teaspoon of Sea Salt, and a teaspoon Cinnamon. The last two are Watkins Products. Click Here to Learn More About Those

We then mix in a Tablespoon of Baking Powder

Once all those dry ingredients are are well mixed, we add it to the Oatmeal Mixture. Then add a Briden Farm Egg, and a 1/4 Cup of Oil. Mixing Well. 

We usually mix this the night before, and let it Sit in the fridge overnight. 

The fresh Goat Milk, Free Range Egg, and Watkins Products make this taste so good! Plus, we find it so filling we only eat about half the number of Pancakes! Which means we often have extras! Would You like Some? 

You may be wondering why we called this Post, Farmhouse Recipes! That’s because we hope to bring a Weekly Podcast of Farmhouse Recipes to our Briden Farm Podcasting Channel every Week on Friday Mornings.
