Whether you’re eating a low carb diet to lose weight or get healthy, one thing we all miss is our bread. Let’s face it, carbs taste goooooooood. So why does eating healthy mean giving up our favorite foods? It doesn’t my good friend. Here is my low carb homemade biscuit recipe, just like grandma used to make, but without all the stuff that makes you feel bad. Eating healthy never tasted so good.
Nothing says country living like the smell of fresh homemade biscuits in the oven. Waking up at Granny’s house meant the smell of hot homemade biscuits, homegrown bacon, and heavenly dripped coffee.

Who knew then how precious those days would become. Here are five of the best homemade biscuit recipes, plus one low carb gluten-free bonus recipe.
Summer draws its final breaths. You can feel the earth and all her creatures heave a sigh of relief as the heat is dissipating and crisp, cool mornings arrive.

We are often asked why we call ourselves “New Old-Fashioned Farmers.”
The answer, of course, is simple. We call ourselves this because we farm the way my grandparents taught me, like their parents taught them, at least in a manner that is.

When my great-grandmother, Ma Horton, died I was 13 and she was 85 years old. She left us with wonderful memories and many lessons for life. I have a rich farming heritage because of who they were and my grandparents teaching me all their parents taught them, but whether or not I remember it all is another story! Here are some of her homestead household tips.
