Fall Farm Essentials | Kid Edition

October 10, 2022 · In: Farm Life, Mom Life

FacebookTweetPin

Fall on the farm means a change in weather, clothes and activities. Check out some of our must haves for the kids.

fall and winter kid essentials on the farm

SHOP THE POST

We are scheduled for our first frost next week, which means fall is officially here (even though technically it was here a month ago). Almost everything I’m showing you today is a repeat purchase for us. We own it in multiple sizes and have used it for years. Bonus, you don’t have to live on a farm to love any of these items.

Shoes

Insulated Boots – These boots have been in rotation for years. I keep purchasing the next larger size for Brody each year. He wears then non-stop from about October through March and they still look great at the end of each year.

Baby Insulated Boots – These boots are also insulated, but I prefer them for little feet. I love the velcro piece on the back making getting little feet in properly much easier. Plus you can secure them a little more snuggly at the top vs other shoes.

Clothes

Overalls – With fall comes mud. Without these overalls I would be changing clothes all day everyday. They also include a little extra protection from the weather. I prefer them for around the farm over other a regular snow suit because they don’t tear as easily. Bonus, I like to size up in them so that I can layer warmer clothes in the winter.

Insulated Coat – Again this is a repeat purchase for us. I almost always size up in coats for the kids so that they can wear layers underneath, so I’m going to be grabbing the Children’s size for Brody. Again it is a tougher fabric than typical winter coats, so I don’t worry about them ripping when playing out on the farm.

Hats

Beanie – We love this beanie for everyday use. The kids will wear them almost daily during the colder months. Keeping their ears covered helps keep them warm.

Stormy Kromer – These hats stay on great, and the little ear flaps are perfect when littles need a tiny bit extra protection from the cold.

Gloves

Waterproof Gloves – These are great for multiple reasons. They are waterproof, so that when playing in the snow their fingers don’t get wet and cold. PLUS since they don’t have individual fingers they are so much easier to get onto little hands.

Light Weight Gloves – These are great for short periods out time or when Brody complains about the mitten style gloves. They are thin enough that getting them on little fingers isn’t as hard as with thick gloves.

Hot Hands – Brody is obsessed with these during the winter. They help to keep his hands warm without having to wear gloves. They are perfect when he is in and out of the tractor with dad when feeding cows. I also love them for the same purpose. I personally hate wearing gloves and these really help.

These Individual Chicken Pot Pies are the ultimate cozy comfort food with a flaky homemade pie crust, creamy chicken filling, and perfectly portioned for easy serving.

Ingredients
Chicken Pot Pie Filling
3 cups rotisserie chicken shredded
1 onion diced
1/2 cup carrots diced
4 tbsp butter
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 cups chicken broth
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp rosemary
Pie Crust
2 cups butter cold
4 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp salt
1/4 cup ice cold water

Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 F.

Make the Pie Crust
In a large bowl add cubed butter, salt and flour. Using a pastry cutter or two knives cut together the flour and butte until it resembles crumbly flour.
Slowly add in the ice cold water until the dough starts to come together. Once the dough starts to come together pour onto a counter and use your hands to combine the dough.
Split the dough in 12 section and place onto a floured surface and roll out half the pie crusts to fit your pie pan. If the dough starts to stick to the rolling pin, sprinkle a little flour on top.
Transfer the rolled-out crust to your pie pan, pressing it gently to fit the bottom and sides.

Make the Pot Pie Filling
Melt butter in a cast iron pan and add in onion and carrot. Cook over medium heat until soft. 
Add in flour. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
Add in chicken stock, seasonings, chicken, and heavy cream. Simmer for 5 minutes to thicken sauce. 
Top with biscuits and bake according to biscuit instructions.

Assemble the Pot Pies
Add about 1 cup of filling to each of the prepared pie pans.
Roll out remaining pie crust and place on top of filled pie pans.
Crimp the edges and bake pies for 25-30 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.

Make Ahead Option
After assembling the pit pies, place onto a sheet pan and freeze for 1-2 hours. Wrap each in plastic wrap and freeze for later. 
Bake from frozen at 400F for 45-55 minutes. Covering with foil if the tops brown too fast.

These viral sausage gravy bombs are perfect for Christmas morning! Combining the classic biscuit and gravy into a portable breakfast creation, they are a family favorite!

Ingredients
1 lb ground sausage
1/3 cup flour
2 cups milk
1 Tbsp Roasted Chicken Better than Bouillon
pepper to taste
1 pkg refrigerator biscuits

Instructions
In a large skillet cook the sausage.
Add in flour, stir to coat the sausage and cook for about 2 minutes. Add in milk boulion and pepper. Simmer until thickened.
Roll the biscuits into a small circle, then fill with about 1/4 cup gravy. Pinch up to middle to seal and place seam side down on a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining biscuits.
NOTE: if making these ahead of time you can place these in the refrigerator overnight. Then bake the next morning. 
Bake according to biscuit package.

TIP: I like to double this recipe and freeze the remaining. Pull out what I want the night before to thaw in the fridge, then place in oven on broil for a few minutes to crisp the biscuit up. BECAREFUL not to forget them in the oven and watch carefully.

Nothing beats a room full of flour-dusted hands and people excited to learn.

Our pie and sugar cookie class with Wendy @thepeacefulhomestead gave 12 students the confidence (and the recipes) to bake treats everyone will be raving about.

These classes are always so much fun and I look forward to it every year.

(ad) A little peek into my everyday life:

School drop-off → recipe testing → editing → errands → cow chores and somewhere in between, I grab a @drinkolipop to keep things moving.

It’s not coffee. It’s not water. It’s just that happy moment in the middle of my day that feels like a treat and supports my wellness goals.

Today’s pick: Ginger Ale

Tomorrow? Who knows — the OLIPOP drawer stays stocked. 😉

Which flavor should I try next?

Not a perfect shot because I forgot to set the grind size to the correct spot, but stay tuned for tomorrow!
