Graze a cow in your back yard then kill it yourself and butcher it.

Dymphna made pickles a couple years ago. Dill & 2 types of bread & butter. :yum: There is NO better bread & butter pickle recipe than the one from my aunt. I could eat a jar in a sitting.

What other grandma stuff should I learn to make?

You can now make flavored butters and cheeses. Oh, and you can make yogurt. And you should make chicken stock. I just butchered 22 chickens, and I kept the feet for stock. It's supposed to make incredibly wonderful stock. Oh, and I made dog treats from the livers.
 
Now, I know you are losing it. A chance to murder birds? En masse? And you pass?
One of my childhoon memories that scared me for life was the October day my parents and a group of their friends decided we should purchase 100 chickens and make an assembly line to process them so we'd have fresh, free-range chicken for our freezers. Ward was given the job of feather plucking, but was soon removed once people further down the line noticed chickens coming from him were sans legs and wings... he decided it was quicker to chop them off rather than pluck...:doh:

Granted, it is better if processing animals is more a way of life than some sort of once in a lifetime family bonding thing... :lol:

I'm getting ready to make homemade cottage cheese! :yahoo:

Ya know, the grocery stores do sell cottage cheese, butter, cheese, and a host of other items including jelly/jams/preserves, chicken, and beef hoisted on top of a beautiful piece of styrofoam.

Vlassic makes better pickles than I ever will. Smuckers makes a damn good jar of jelly, and Perdue takes all the yuck out of cooking up some delicious chicken.
