This video, probably the most precious I’ve ever made, shows me Bottle feeding our two surviving baby Goats…
It’s definitely precious and precarious at the same time. Sadly we lost the third one over night and today these two have faced an uphill battle.
I’m definitely the nervous Papaa! Lucy, our Boer Goat, gifted us with three babies! Three beautiful little Boer Goat Kids! Here’s a video peek at the Momma and the Kids…
I much prefer having our babies born in the Spring or Summer, whether that be kids, piglets, chicks, or ducklings! Although I know my Dad, and many others, have their lambing season in February! I’m the nervous Papa and I’m not kidding!
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!

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…
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!

February 15, 2023 is Agriculture Day in Canada and we think the best way to Celebrate and acknowledging farmers is to buy locally grown agricultural products.
Perhaps even start the day of right with Woodland Pastured Heritage Pork and Briden Farm Fresh Naturally laid Eggs…
In Canada, Agriculture Day, is championed by Agriculture More Than Ever
According to Their website, “Agriculture More Than Ever is a forum where the agriculture industry comes together to share pride for agriculture on social media. Its 96,000 followers across Facebook, Instagram and Twitter engage in positive dialogue around ag and food, which contributes to creating trust between producers and consumers.”
One thing is sure, we can all agree Farmers, and their animals are important and in Canada they help produce produces wheat, canola, barley, corn, soya beans, oats, beef, pork, and dairy products, and they are among the biggest producers of these products in the world.
Today we raise a fork for the Canadian grown food we love and the incredible hard-working people who produce it, as well as the animals who help make it possible!
To show Your support on social media, show us how you’re celebrating by using #CdnAgDay and #BridenFarm
What better Day to Sponsor a Bird or Animal at Briden Farm…
