Making Yogurt at Briden Farm

Farm Made Yogurt

Making Yogurt at Briden Farm is a great way to make use of our excess goat milk. We already make cheese, butter, cream, buttermilk, and whey, and today we made our first batch of Yogurt! I’m very pleased to say it was great! To be honest, I’ve never been a big fan of Store boughten yogurt, but this farm fresh yogurt made from our own Goat Milk is incredible! Flavouring Yogurt with Watkins Extracts is also incredible! (Click Here for more on that) 

We used Watkins Extract to flavour it. We made some Pumpkin Spice because today was Halloween. We also made some Raspberry and I really liked the way it turned out! I even liked the Plain Yogurt which was a surprise to me! Here’s a video of the Yogurt we made…

Homemade Pasta and Woodland Pasture Raised Pork

I love it when a good meal comes together almost as much as I love our becoming more and more self sufficient here at Briden Farm. Imagine sitting down to a supper of Homemade Pasta & Woodland Pasture Raised Pork that you’ve made and raised! 

The photo above is exactly that! We milk our Goats for the milk, and then make butter! The left over part of making butter is Butter Milk and that’s what I use to cook our Berkshire woodland pastured, oven baked, pork chops!

The pasta, I made a week or so ago, and dried it for ready use and yesterday I cooked it in the Whey, which was left over from making cheese from our Goat Milk! Not only had I added oregano and basil, both from Watkins, to the egg, flour, and olive oil when I made the pasta, but also added a bit more to the whey when I cooked the pasta! So you just know that has to be good! 

As you can tell… I love to play with my food and using Watkins Products makes that so much fun! (Learn More)
