Family Tree Homestead

Handmade, Homemade, Homegrown Items For Sale. The page is managed by myself, Samantha, and my mom Tamara. Why? So I wanted to keep that foundation! We have moved!

This page is managed by myself, Samantha, and my mother, Tamara as stated in the description of the page.

[6/15 update:] I have changed the name of the page from "Family Tree Creations" to "Family Tree Homestead." The "family tree" name was something I came up with when I was like 12, and had a dream of owning my own business someday. I came up with family tree because I have so many members of

my family who are so incredibly talented in different ways, and the idea was if I ever achieved my dream of a brick and mortar store, they all could contribute and the name would not be solely based on my talents and needs. Why the change in goods and services? Unfortunately over the years, my hands and wrists have become increasingly painful to do any sort of repetitive motion with. For example, my crocheting. I have never seen a doctor about it largely because I don't have health insurance at this current moment in time. Some day, I will be seeking answers and maybe even treatment of some kind to help. But this means that from here on out the custom crochet orders I accept will be extremely limited as it will be very time consuming for me to do. I do have a very talented cousin who has her own crochet page, I would be happy to direct you her way if I cannot meet your needs, she may be able to help! I can't guarantee anything though! We are no longer in Norfolk, we are now in Gouverneur. Don't worry, we will still offer shipping on any items that are reasonable and able to do so!

�We will be offering egg sales once our chickens are laying, which will be a few more months!
� If desired, I will be looking to hatch chicks out in the spring once our girls are old enough to do so! I am hoping to be able to offer a variety of breeds that I'm working on getting "pairs" of to be able to keep the breeds true!
� I am in the process of gathering all the supplies and doing all my research in making natural soap bars! I am so excited for this, because I have some family members who all have certain needs, desires, and likes/dislikes when it comes to soap - and I'm hoping to be able to meet those things as I progress and learn along the way!
� I will be offering various plant, veggie, flower, and misc plant starts as I progress! I absolutely love gardening, and I love propagating new plants to flourish!
� I will still be offering custom made clothing items! If you haven't done so yet, please join my linked group Sam's Custom Creations! �

If you have bared with me through this long post - thank you so much for being here and being a part of the changes coming! � leave me your favorite emoji, or a gift expressing your excitement to see what comes next in the comments so I know you have read through completely!

I started this Christmas present back in June, for it to be ready for gifting for Christmas, and needless to say, I was not disappointed! Nor were the receivers!

I added some notes of things that were discussed after taste testing it with the receivers! I'd love to hear if anyone else has any experience, suggestions, or thoughts!

Have you ever heard of, or tried Cherry Bounce yourself? Let me know what your thoughts are!

I will post the recipe I followed in the comments!

**Notes after gifting it for Christmas:

- I did not add the spices a couple of weeks before straining. I actually didn’t add them at all largely because I was lacking one of them, and couldnt find it locally and when I ordered online it didnt arrive in time. But the receivers said the spices were not missed at all, and they didnt feel they would be necessary to add them in the next batch either.

- We mixed ours with coca-cola, no measuring was done - just mixed until we reached our individual acquired taste.

- I did not strain the cherries out of the drink, and obviously did not chocolate coat them - largely because I just had so much to prep for Christmas, it just went to the back burner until it simply didn’t get done.

- Receivers agreed adding a hint of chocolate or potentially vanilla would be a good addition. Ideas discussed were drizzling chocolate on the inside of the serving glass, or adding vanilla extract directly to the drink.

- Stay tuned for more experimenting with this - I've ordered 360 Double Chocolate Vodka & Ugandan Vanilla Beans from Vanilla Bean Kings to make a chocolate noted vanilla extract, and a second bottle to make the cherry bounce in to add the chocolate flavor to the drink that way.

- The receivers have requested I have a batch of this going at all times since it takes so long to make.

This is my favorite part about homemade things - is experimenting to customize it to our liking to figure out what we like best!

We have a local family doing a pretty awesome thing for our area! We sure miss raising our own pigs, but this will be a great alternative to raising them ourselves!

Babies are starting to get adventurous and come out of their nesting boxes. 🥰🥰

We walked in to feed them last night to Carrots having all 5 babies out and about with her. The cutest sight ever!

We have 5 Red New Zealand babies, and 6 Silver Fox babies (one blue, five black), if anyone is wanting to be on a list of being notified when they become available please let me know!

They are still way too young to tell their sexes, and they are still way too young to be separated from their mom, but I don't have a problem starting a list of people wanting to be notified when they are available. ☺️

They will be ready the week of June 4th. ☺️

Please join Family Tree Homestead [Group] for the most up to date information, and it's the easiest way to get in contact with me. ☺️

Spring is in the air!

Broody chicken mama, with babies due to hatch in May.

2 New mama bunnies within the last 24 hours. 🥰 Red New Zealands, and Silver Fox babies. I think we ended up with at least one blue silver fox baby which is exciting. 🥰

To follow along for more detailed updates, make sure you are apart of Family Tree Homestead [Group] - I post in there much more than the page. ☺️

I pretty much always have chicks & chickens that I'm willing to part with!

With allowing my broody hens to hatch out eggs to sustain our flock in a forward direction, it means I almost always have babies & hens of all ages that I'm willing to sell.

I wanted to create a general price list, so that if anyone is ever interested, you have an idea of what it could cost.

Prices are subject to change, and there may be times where I ask for more/less for a specific bird which would be posted clearly at my discretion.
