    What a beautiful, and well stocked pantry. Homesteading is a goal of ours one day, but right now we are content with a few chickens and a garden. Thank you for sharing, and for all of the information you and Josh put out weekly to help us all to be more self sufficient. Blessings to you and your family. ❤️

      We all start somewhere. You're already leaps ahead over a large portion of the population. I'm still working on mine, started last May finally have 2 honey hives, 11 chickens and around 70 coturnix quail. Just put the table garden in earlier this week. Still need to plant the back half acre

    We butcher 100 meat birds for our family of 9 every summer, we leave about 35 whole and cut up the rest, I can about 40 legs with salt, turmeric & poultry seasoning (did some with curry powder this year) they make such good meals in an instant. Then we vacuum seal the parts in bags for the freezer, make stock from the backs, necks & feet and freeze some of the gizzards/livers & freeze dry the rest for the dogs. I'm going to freeze dry some of the breasts for our long term food storage, it's reconstitues really well. The remaining bits get composted for next year's garden, nothing goes to waste!

    One thing that made me chuckle was when you are going through the pantry inventory and find so many possibilities for meals, do you have that “I should make this..” and then you find another family meal favorite and then think, “Oh, wait! I should make that!” In our house we have a small variety of canned foods and whenever I go do a count I am always a little overwhelmed at the how to use them before they go bad so without being wasteful. Likewise, we went big on pickles this year and we love them, but there is only so many pickles anyone can eat at a time and I don’t want the work we did to plant, grow, harvest and preserve to be for naught.

    • @trinam2503
      @trinam2503 2 года назад

      Home canned foods are good for 3-5yrs as long as the seal holds. The trick is store them in a cool, dry place where you can turn the lights off when you aren't in there. This doesn't have to be a basement or cellar. A room in your house that doesn't get to hot in the summer, and where you can turn down the heat or close the door to make it cooler in the winter works fine too. If using an extra bedroom/office type room, it's recommended to cover the windows with blackout curtains to reduce light and heat. Hope that helps!! 🙂

    My freeze drier is so much fun. I agree with you on the tomatoes, it's a game changer how fast you can put up chopped tomatoes direct from the garden. I'm thinking about trying to do some paste tomatoes in my food mill, then just powder it and then blend fresh ketchup. I don't know how that will really work out, but it's a plan of mine. One thing with a freeze drier, is that people are still just learning and coming up with good garden to FD plans. I love ideas! So keep sharing those. Thanks for the great channel.

    I live literally down the road from Azure standard and they are outrageously priced. I honestly can't afford them.

Especially with the last few years, I have found many things on their website out of stock.

    Would love to be able to have a freeze dryer... Just not possible off grid
    This is a lovely start on a pantry
