Kefiring

Gabe is straining kefir grains. Gabe and Lydia love the rich probiotic beverage made from raw grass-fed Jersey cow milk from Bellingham. Kefir grains mulitply rapidly when happy, and they are readily given away. Kefiring is catching on nationwide from person to person. There are many resources for information on the internet. It is an easy way to introduce oneself to the nourishing, healthful world of culturing. Pour milk over the grains in a clean glass jar, cover but don't seal, and leave at room temperature for 24 hours. The milk proteins and sugars are pre-digested for you, resulting in a plethora of B-vitamins and the rich nutrients of the whole raw milk. Kefiring will work with any milk, although many of the vital nourishing qualities of raw milk are absent if using a pasteurized milk.

I just like this photo. My hubby's hands are cutting into an artisan sourdough loaf. Someday I'd like to make my own sourdough! What treasures from the earth and air God gives us for life - yeasts and bacteria, salts from ancient beds and seas, green herbs....
