What Does a Morning look like at the Farm?

This week was a special week at the Farm! My parents and all my sisters were in Indiana visiting family, and the 4 boys are here taking care of all the Farm work!

We love farming, cooking, and together time, so our meals are extremely fun and this morning's breakfast was extremely delicious!

On a regular day, I (Gideon) don't do a lot with the animals, as my chore is to do the website work and customer service, then go to my Part-time job. But this week with just us 4 boys here, I'm managing the place.

The 4 Lapp Boys:

  • Gideon age 22
  • Jacob age 15
  • Jr age 12
  • Daniel age 7

So, early morning I bring the cows in at 5:30, then Jacob and Jr milk them, and care for the cows, calves, and horses, while I go out to the hens to make sure they have feed and water!

I was reminded how early the chickens are! It was still partly dark, and the chickens were all over the field! Some of them were over 600 feet away from their coop and enjoying the morning bugs and grubs!

They were all so busy, and they do this every morning! It just made me think how much better it feels in the morning then in the evening!

Once I took care of the chickens, I changed the fence so the cows have fresh grass today, then they were ready to come out in the field!

The farm property is on both sides of the road, so we let the cows over the road a lot!

Sorry for the bright sun, but this is right behind the barn, and the cows are heading into the pasture for the day!

Then came the exciting breakfast time! We had bacon, Sausage, toast, and eggs were so good! The toast, sausage, and eggs we fried in bacon grease and lard, and it was the best we ever had!

Then the rest of the forenoon we moved and fed the chickens, and this afternoon we want to do some repairs in the barn to surprise dad!

Thankfully my part-time job isn't as busy this week, so they said I don't need to come this week, so I'm excited to get some stuff done at the farm this week before the winter weather comes!

I hope you have a Blessed day!

-Gideon and the Lapp Boys!

Also, a reminder that the guesthouse at the Farm is in order, and is available to anybody that wants to spend time their at the Farm!

Free Home Remedies from the Amish

Amish Home Remedies From Our Farmhouse | CWH Ministry Growing up on a fourth-generation Amish farm in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, I never once saw a medicine cabinet full of store-bought pills. What I saw instead was my Mom — quiet, unhurried, and utterly confident — reaching for what the land and the kitchen already provided. These remedies aren't things she read in a book. They were passed down from her father, and his grandparents before him. I'm sharing them with you because they've blessed our family, and I believe they can bless yours too. Remedy No. 1 Mattie's Recipe for Flus, Colds & Immune Building This is my Mom's go-to at the very first sign of a flu coming on. It's warming, soothing — and honestly, it tastes so good you'll want it even when you're feeling fine. You'll Need 1 whole lemon — sliced, rind and all — in a quart jar or mug 1 tablespoon raw honey 2 drops Thieves Essential Oil (we use Young Living, or any immune-boosting oil) 2 drops Oregano Oil How to Make It Place the sliced lemon (with rind) into your jar or mug. Add the raw honey, Thieves oil, and oregano oil. Fill to the top with boiling water. Let steep for at least 30 minutes. Sip slowly while you work — or wrap up in a blanket and rest. Farmhouse Tip: The longer it steeps, the stronger and more effective it becomes. Don't rush it — good things take time on the farm. From Our Farmhouse to Yours These remedies aren't complicated. They don't come with a long list of ingredients or a big price tag. They come from something simpler — generations of people who paid attention, who cared for each other, and who trusted what the land provided. My Mom still uses every one of these. I hope they serve your family as well as they've served ours.
