- Come along on my root cellar tour - here's what our years worth of food looks like! Now that it's finished, we were finally able to take you through the entire root cellar (full and complete!). Come see our food storage in its many forms: canning, dehydrating, fermenting, and more. NOT INCLUDED: all the meat that we keep up in chest freezers in our barn.

Whew! This is a fun one to share. SO MUCH WORK is tucked into those jars and shelves. Almost makes me weepy.
Most inspirational video ever! Currently filling my 6 month pantry stock and this is just what I needed to see. Thanks so much & congratulations! Julie 🌷
Your homestead is amazing. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing it with us.
Great video and looks amazing!! Would you mind sharing how much it costs to run a cold room? We tried a large commercial style fridge and it’s very expensive to run it all year. Looking for an alternative. Thanks 😊
Just a quick safety tip on canning, if you keep the rims on, if the seals fail, the pressure from the rims could cause the lids to reseal and you wouldn’t know that the food is contaminated. You might just have them on loosely, which would prevent that problem, but I just wanted to say it just in case. Botulism is no fun, so I just double check that ppl know the safety stuff. ❤️
How can I store cream cheese?
Do I have a garden? No. Do I grow my own food? No. Do I have the space to stash food? No.
RUclips: Do you want to watch this stranger showing you her root cellar?
Me: Sure, why not.
Same!
You've been YT'd!!!
hahaha me too!
😂😂😂😂😂
hahaha
This. This is my dream. I don't know why I'm in college, but this is what I want.
Same! I'm in high school and very overworked and these kinds of videos are my lil way of escapism.
Please do it, you'll never regret living such a rewarding way of life.
Growing your own food is amazing!
Same... why does society put so much pressure to go to college? I’m in college right now trying to make the biggest difference I can but this seems far more rewarding.
College professor here. I teach and run a small homestead. Too all the young people here, I would very much suggest following your calling, if you can make it work for you. You won't be rich, but you'll find that doesn't matter if your spirit is satisfied.
YES!!!!
"Our years worth of food in our bunker", me getting bombarded with mental images of how I will perish in the apocalypse if I dont start a garden immediately.
😂... Same here. Just bought my first canner though, I already have a dehydrator. Gotta start somewhere
Me remembering how bad noodles with just pure tomato sauce and nothing else are because I didn't stack up and then we were quarantined because of a positive case in our household.
Reality!! Soon will play hunger games.
@@everhappy6312 let’s hope it doesn’t come to that. We all gotta start making a stand and do not let them take away our freedom of speech.
😂😂😂😂
It might look full now but wait till Thorin Oakenshield and 12 other dwarfs decide to come by ....
i totally understand you are talking about lor however, my brain went straight to roots and refuges buck (thorin oakenshield is his name lol)
This comment is gold
And don't forget about those two hobbits, Pippin and Merry, they're the most dangerous..
Chip the glasses and crack the plates
@@spencermay1777 that's what Bilbo Baggins hates !
100 years ago this is basically in everybody home
Try 20. My Nana's pantry looked similar.
Now we just run to the store and we are stuck if we don't find it.
No, they are going to make these illegal and force us to live in pods.
And then communism stepped in and made the majority of people move into communist housing ("pods" as the above comment said) and be reliant on the government for everything. Even if you want to live correctly, but you're disabled, you aren't allowed to live correctly.
@@mikey4016 it has nothing to do with communism. People advanced and no longer needed to rely on themselves to live. We can rely on businesses to be able to feed us. The supermarket has nothing to do with communism. We grew tired of breaking our backs just to eat, so we used human ingenuity to create a way to where we dont have to do that. Farming and growing your own food is HORRIBLY labor intensive, speaking from experience, and people didnt want to do that. Especially with people working jobs in a society, they didn't have time to farm their own food. The concept of having people grow your food so you dont have to is called CAPITALISM, and has nothing to do with communism.
What you've done is almost a lost art in today's world. Salute! It was a truly awesome tour.
And everything looked sooooo yummy, no packages , no labels, just pure goodness, I loved this video.
a lot of people still do this, maybe in smaller quantity but it's common
@@becauseiam7915 It was like a trip back in time, in a beautifully done way. Old time root cellars should make a come back, as well as what's put in time....priceless video.
Farming is a lost art?
It's only a lost art to those that lack common sense, like millenials ...
All I can think of is:
When society collapses, this woman is gonna be just fine.
So true!!!
well... except now 192000 people know what shes got.
Right
For a year or less.
@Turquoise Cheetah
That’s messed up but something tells me they’re also stocked up on guns & ammo
I want this woman to be my best friend and teach me everything
Its called a utube chanel
We have all the knowledge inside us, just tap into hun 🍃🌹🍃
I thought this too !!
Put a couple of bay leaves in your dry goods. That will keep out the weevils.
TRUE, but add a few cloves of garlic too.
Awesome comment! This is precisely the kind of wisdom we are losing and need to work to keep alive. Not a jar of pasta or beans on my nan’s shelves that didn’t contain a bay leaf. She’s moved on. Thanks Annie Alexander for reminding us of her(their) knowledge.
I did not know that. Thanks for some new found knowledge.
I discovered my first weevil infestation when I opened 10 lb. of grits. I couldn’t throw them away so I put them in a big pot with bay leaves, outside loosely covered. All the weevils ran away! Hooray!
@@valeryclark
Awesome wisdom.By putting the bag of grits outside was smart.You know it would not hurt to tie bay leaves together then hang them up around the storage container's in your pantries.Put bay leaves all around.
It warms my heart when you say "we made" because I did make it with you and even though we've never met, you have a way of making me feel like a close friend. I appreciate that 😊 Thanks for another wonderful video ❤❤❤
YES! I did too, those vids on salts and simple ways to preserve tomato - I was right in their with you and Shaye - fun isn't it?
Ah, I feel the same about these videos :) I really hope my pickles turn out as beautifully as the Elliott's!
Love your comment ❤️😊❤️
What a SWEET thing to say :)
She's informative, enthusiastic, and pleasant enough, but I got this creepy Martha Stewart vibe toward the end. Don't ask me why. I don't know. I subscribed and gave it a thumbs up.
This is much how the storerooms and cellars of my family looked 60 years ago. Not much was bought from the store and items like flour, beans, sugar and lard were bought in several hundred pounds quantities each fall. Coffee, salt. And sources as well as baking powder in smaller quantities. But all dair,meat, vegetable and fruit was raised or grown on the place and put up ( canned) with a lot of hard work.
Yes, my grandparents on my mothers side most likely as well. Farmers, 10+ kids. But unfortunately over the past 60 years society has taken the corporate grocery store bait.
It tastes SO much better. I enjoy canning!
It doesn't really look like this, except for the food. I have an 1856 house with a cold cellar (root cellar if you are from the south). It has shelving on the walls and huge built in wood crates for potatoes and root vegetables.
@@SirenaSpades You're blessed.
@@SirenaSpades do you use it? Lol we don’t have any kind of cellars in Australia, well most didn’t. House we’re not build with cellars. But in my mind they will always be a scary place cause so much shit happens in cellars on scary movies, and attics 😂😂😂
The fruit stays longer if individually wrapped in news paper. Skin on skin makes rotting quicker.
wow good tip thanks
Thanx 🌳✌
Thank you for the tip 😉✌
Never tried but good to know
So... no rodents will attempt to eat any of the food??
A year's worth of food stored on site just in case?
Very wise.
Very wise indeed.
Not just in case. It looks functional. Like hauling up a quart of fruit to make a pie in January. Nothing like peaches you have put up yourself.
@@cynthiastinson7059 Yes. If it's grown or canned by you, you control the growing and/or processing conditions.
When you’re deep into Alaska/the wilds this kinda living is mandatory
@@MrsStevenBrown We've been doing this in Maine for hundreds of years.
That’s it.... I’m revamping my root cellar! My house was built in 1910 and the root cellar is now more like a crawl space but this has inspired me to change that!
How is you root cellar coming along??
Lucky you!
Oh my god it's haunted!!!😱😱😱
Nice cellar :) FYI-Jams jellies canned goods etc, really should be stored without the rings. Not sure if this has been mentioned. If one of the jars breaks its seal, the ring can make it reseal and the contents is bad, you won’t know it. By taking off the rings, if a jar loses seal, you know it’s bad.
I'm not from the US, we don't have those jars, but I do can, and I know that if the content of some food you canned are bad, you know it, because it's spoiled and it smells, maybe it has mold. Use your senses and common sense.
The pride on your face as you’re talking through this is so wholesome 🥰
"...besides the stock pots. I know those aren't exciting". And I got super excited to see the pots. Imagine the history and stories around all those pots. Thanks for all the inspiration you send out to the world.
Jeff ! Yeah, my eyes landed on those stock pots & the stuff above! I love that graded green pot, oooow I would love to cook in that!
Yep the pots caught my eye too, I was drooling over them.
I was interested in the pots too.
That green pot was beautiful.
Yeah the green one was beautiful 🍃💫
My boyfriend and I are about to start our homestead journey on raw land this spring. To many it sounds overwhelming, but we are craving to learn what hasn’t been taught to us. There is so much to prepare and plan for, and I love that you show how fun it is but also keep it real! So thankful for your videos and your beautiful family. All the love to you! 🌿
The homesteading journey doesn't need to be overwhelming. It's like "How do you eat a whole elephant?", "One bite at a time!"
EcoCentric Homestead thank you for your reply! That is such good advice! It’s easy to get excited and want to do a bunch of stuff at once, but I’m excited to really slow life down living off the grid and take my time focusing on one task at a time. ✨
KennaHart thank you so much!!! We are very excited to start from scratch and create what we’ve always dreamed of. We might be starting a RUclips bringing everyone on our journey with us, so look out for that! 🥰
Congrats on your up coming adventure! My husband and I did the same many years ago, it's a lot of hard work but worth it. The best advice I could give to anyone starting out is to plant those fruit and nut trees straight away, even before the construction starts. Have fun!
KennaHart that’s so awesome, this has been our dream for a long time. It will happen for you someday! When the stars align kind of thing. We honestly had no clue we were going to find our dream property and start this journey now. We just went to northern Idaho to see if we would like it and boom there it was! We weren’t pre approved for anything, we had no clue where we were going to get the money and it just fell right into our laps I guess you could say. If you keep dreaming and imagining yourself homesteading, it WILL happen. I’m rooting for you!!!
We pack all of our root crops, apples, cabbages etc. layered in soaking wet wood shavings in plastic crates (with vents). They are perfect all winter and into early summer. Squashes, onions, garlic are stored dry at room temperature ( in a cool room). I plant the root crops back into the garden in the spring to grow seeds for saving.
More details please
@@geckogal89 I think that the pine shavings, just the ones used for animal bedding, create an acid environment which suppresses mold, funguses and bacteria. Once I have used the root crops up I just throw the shavings on the hen house floor.
@@johnpino4837 Never heard of that method. Interesting.
What a self sufficient self made life. Most of it home grown and stored. No running to the malls every month to buy commercial market stuff. The lady is very hard working. What a peaceful glow on her face when she is proudly showing off her home grown supplies
And writes books and is homeschooling their four children.
May you gain a cheese cave sooner than you ever think.
with all thats happened this year that sounds vaguely threatening 😂
Gavin Webber approves this message!
Incredible, this is how we lived in Ukraine village. The only way to survive! Thankfully my parents brought us to America :) are we still do canning but definitely not as much storing!! Great job!!!!
I'd love to see how your family did it.
I'm canning my lemons from our tree and I'm starting to realize how much work it takes to preserve you own food. Great work, I'm happy many are preparing for whatever life gives us. It also motivates the rest of us to get up and get to work!! :)
Hi I'm a SAHM in CA homeschooling a kindergartener. I just came across your videos today; on the first day of our farm unit. We read a book that took us through the seasons of farming this morning and it was awesome to find your videos to support our learning; particularly this one, the bee swarm, and your milkmaid videos. It's so nice to see how you respect and care for your animals. And being that I'm the only one that absolutely loves dairy in my household, it made me so happy to watch you make your cheese and hear the passion in your voice taking us through the process. Your videos made my day today! Thank you.
This is Amazing!!! The bounty. The work! Girl, who else does this? Nobody!!! Not like u do!
Her girlfriend Angela.
Rainbow Citizen my mother’s been doing it for years, as well as do most Appalachian women, and there’s food for at least 5-10 years not kidding😂😂
Your voice is calming like Martha Stewart and you look like Drew Barrymore 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
She does!!
Mixed with Kate Hudson
Really? No offense to Drew, but I think she's prettier than Drew! 😁
Hihi you also look like Rens Kroes so much!, sister of Doutzen Kroes
I so agree with all of you ...she's got a calming way about her,
I want this woman to be my wife. I'm a straight, middle aged, city-living, already married woman myself... But still...
This comment was awesome!
Me toooo lol!!
lmao!!!
Y'all's asses better be ready to work if you're going to be her wife......lmao.
All those canning jars didn't get filled by magic.....
@@bmphil3400 lol
I have to tell y'all thank you for being my friend love you all
We had a huge pear tree in our yard growing up and we canned tons of them every year..My favorite was the spiced pears that my mom made for Christmas every year. S made two jars with red dye and two with green dye and I always thought they were the prettiest things...
Canning is hard work but so rewarding later, I see you leave your jar rings on your jars we were taught to remove them after a few days. I like your hair color now.
That is amazing!!!
I remember my grandmothers canned tomatoes that we would make steak & tomatoes out of along with her canned green beans all from her garden. Memories of her basement storage & helping her snap beans on the front porch. So delicious and those jars were coveted in our family. It was a big deal when we ate the last jar after she passed away. Making memories as well as yummy food!!
Have you thought to utilize your grow racks in wintertime for microgreens/sprouting? Especially for the colder months when fresh greens can't be grown or harvested outdoors?
Wevils are actually in the flours/oats/etc. They are in the form of eggs. When the conditions are right they will hatch. Extra protein!
Exactly, they're already in the food. I freeze my flours etc. for three days to kill the eggs then put in jars or buckets to store long term.
You are one hardworking lady! God has blessed you abundantly.
You blow me away. Such selfless love of supplying health whole foods to your family
RUclips _really_ wanted me to watch this video. I have no regrets.
I feel like I was born into the wrong family...I should have been born into a homesteading farm family. I do have a small homestead with my hubby in retirement but we can't do the heavy work required too well because both our spines are deteriorating 😞 thank God for our younger friends who help us out.
Love your root cellar. Is your root cellar im your basement?
I'm in the same boat but no one helps me.
@@redpilled4781
Find a farm hand, there's lots of young people without gardens that would love to learn gardening if you can provide the land.
I loved this. My mother taught me how to can at a young age. I never thought it was a useful skill, until this year. She also used to make cordials and schnapps every year, for Christmas. My chore was to stir the cordials and schnapps every day, before delivering newspapers. Yes, I was a paperboy!
Kenneth Kauzlaric wow that is so cool! I wish I grew up learning stuff like that! I can’t wait to learn and teach my own children 😊
That is awesome ❤️
I was a paperboy too! Paperboys unite! 🤜✌
Somehow, this video is satisfying my craving for looking at overstocked food after watching Fallout.
You have so much more preserves in your root cellar than the preserving and embalming
of King Tut's body, or mummification process on his way to the Ancient Egyptian afterlife.
Love, Light, Peace & Gratitude.
Stumbled upon your youtube channel today. I have just started thinking about canning and progressing toward homesteading. Thank you for the tour of your root cellar. What a wonderful environment you have created for you and your family. I will spend some time going through your videos and I am so excited to begin now! Thank you :)
This is awesome! What I want to know is how does it look to eat this way day to day. I’m so entrenched in the grocery store and we don’t usually eat jams or ferments or canned anything. How do all these ingredients end up becoming a menu?
Such a great question! I would love to see her meals as well.
I know it's enrichment for the soul. I started gardening ten years ago and today I have to have a spare room for my canned goods. I'm now digging a root cellar for my fruits and vegetables, wines, vinigars and preserves. When I cook for someone, or give away a jar or two of goodies, it feels so good. I get a real kick out of making my own things. So much better than bying. Though I do buy straw, manure and phosphate in place of fresh food lol.
Wow, overwhelmed is an understatement. Did you learn this growing up as a way of life or learn it as you do it. This is my first experience with your channel and I must say what you've done is amazing.
Agreed!
I’m absolutely new. Where is she located?
You'll be doing this soon, or starve. If you haven't figured out it, the supply chain doesn't work.
@@SirenaSpades yep C was just a small sample of what could happen.
If that's not cause for a celebration, I don't know what is! A great big CHEERS TO THE ELLIOTTS!!
It was so amazing I had to watch it again! Thank you all so much for sharing the beautiful way of living you got going on. So awesomely inspiring!
I completely agree
This was wonderful! Thank you 😊
You and Shaye are my favorite people to follow!! Both of you have the most amazing looking food! 😍😍
When I see the logo I immediately know who owns this, also a fan of yours.
@@EGGYwithPancakes Right? God bless!
Simple living Alaska and Elliot homestead... you guys are the best you tubers!!! I’m always looking forward to your videos!! Thanks for sharing!
Wow.. can’t believe I stumbled upon these two inspiring channels!! I love binge watching your videos!!!! ❤️❤️
My algorithm just suggested you to me and I could not be more thrilled!
Thank you for the food storage tours!! As an avid gardener, I feel that this last year has be rampant with anxieties over feeding our family's. It has not been easy but I am now feeling a sense of renewed joy and preserving more as it continues to ripen. Brightest Blessings!
Omg loved every item on your shelves. So beautiful and healthy and nutritional. I so envy your children. I imagine no fish fingers and wafle for them.
Absolutely lovely
Congratulations on an outstanding harvest! I truly appreciate the amount of effort it takes to can, preserve and store the harvest. My husband and I spend several weeks in late summer and early fall “putting up” for the year. We find it extremely satisfying as well as being able to feel a great sense of security knowing we are well prepared. Thank you for sharing- may God continue to bless you with his abundance!
This is so interesting. You're like Modern day Laura Ingalls.
She’s very enchanting! I want this woman in my life!
You are an inspiration to us all! America and the world need this self reliance mindset to feed off each other, literally. Keep up the good work with all these beautiful vids👍
I just started fermenting! And I love my purple cabbage sauerkraut
My wife made your herb salt and cherry tomatoes in oil. Such great recipes, thanks for sharing! Congratulations on your harvest.
The squirrel in me is drooling.
Hard work is a beautiful thing and your root cellar is proof!
My family and I make a foraged elderflower cordial every year! It's so good! I love how real this tour is, and how tasty everything looks.
This is really something to be proud of!! WOW 🤩
God has blessed you a lost talent,I HAVE CANNED FOR FIFTY YEARS THE LABOR YOU HAVE IN YOUR ROOMS IS IMPRESSING.Because of health reason I can’t do it as much but last year I did in the wheel chair. And loved every minute of it THANK YOU FOR SHARING I’D LIKE TO GET YOUR RECIPES
I like how she takes her basket into each room.
“I know I’m making a lot of boozy drinks “😂😂😂😂. Cracking me up!! Thank you for sharing love the videos
I know, I was laughing too - why not, winter is long where she is, plus its a down time from all that growing, harvesting and preserving. I have a friend who can make anything in a drink - I give her my surplus to enjoy a gift of a boozy drink!
So wonderful, thanks for sharing!
Hey .. everyone Moniee-Mon, is listening thanks for the info and videos. Keep doing what'cha do best God bless you 🙏 🙌 ❤ 💖 Monica Smith 🙏
Oh my God...I just discovered a goldmine🔥🖤!! Cant imagine how much hard work and love went into each and every bottle . I am excited to binge watch all your previous videos and catch up . Much love to you . Thank you for sharing your baby #cold storage 🖤
This takes me back to my childhood and a simpler time. The fall and helping my grandmother with canning. Tomatoes. Tomatoe sauce, Chow Chow, Rhubarb Apples(sauce,and pie filling,)Apple butter,
Pickles(dill, bread &butter and the ones that were lime green??)Beans, Corn, beets, pickled beets(I 💜pickled beets)Concord Grape Jelly, Plum Jelly. We also had Deer and Elk to Butcher from hunting season.
How did you store or preserve the deer and elk?
@@obsidiansea The Deer and Elk would be skinned and clean of internal organs..then hung to dry age in the cool room in the garage. Then it would cut up, wrapped in plastic and butcher paper, and put in the freezer. We would grind the some of the meat with suet to make deer and elk burger for the freezer. We made sausages,jerky..
Grandma would also brine and can the meat as well...
Fascinating pantry. I could play in there for a couple hours. Thx for sharing
Me too 😊❤️😊 love watching pantry tours
Easily the best video on RUclips right now.
It was the 1st video that I saw on your channel. Since that time I've changed a lot in my lifestyle. You gave me the understanding that life can be different from what humanity consideres to be normal. Country life is going to be THE NEW NORM! I hope you have everything your heart desires. 🥰
We are so dependant on stores for everything. Its a matter of time when food supply will be rationed.
I made sloe gin this year, the great thing about it is once you've made the sloe gin, you can re-use the sloes and make sloe port as well by just adding a red wine and some sugar! And THEN when you're done you can stew down the fruit to make a boozy jam/preserve :)
Wow. This is amazing and I love the passion when you talk about all your food. This is food for my soul. 🙏🏾
I love your green stockpot! Thank you so much for sharing. I can't wait to have a root cellar of our own!
Really Really enjoyed the tour! You've inspired me to try some new things! Thanks 😊🦋
Oh Shaye! You have my heart! You are so inspiring and you have such a way with words! I could listen to you talk all day!
I am so glad your doing this in a few years I will have my own home I've always wanted root cellar I never knew where to begin I'm so glad your doing this I've wanted one since I was a young girl
This is so exciting to me! Thank you for sharing. Way to go, I can see all the hard work you’ve put in!
Impressive and fabulous!
I am so grateful that we have channels like yours, gives me ideas, inspiration and guidance! Both my mother and grandmother passed at young ages and aren't around with me in my 30s. You remind me of my mom with all the flavored booze! She was getting into that a few years before she passed. I like a drink on occasion and the way you do it seems to make it real special. I need that in my life. I even have my moms wine fridge...didn't know I could use it for cheese! Thanks for the tour! Its actually very psychedelic looking! Beautiful 😍
What a skilled and amazing housewife/homesteader she is. And her husband obviously, too. Awesone!
I’ve been slowly growing my food storage so this is great motivation. Thanks so much for sharing!
I don’t at present preserve any food but I now have a allotment so from next year I will start the process. I follow all the things you do so I have the knowledge when I can. I get so excited when I see your cold room and pantry. I live in the uk ang we don’t have cool
Wow, how incredible. Your passion for healthy homegrown food shines through you. Thanks for sharing. 🍸🍹👍
Now I need to figure out where to put my cold storage room. Yours is so wonderful. Thank you for sharing. I can tell you put your heart into all of your foods.💜
I've never been to this channel, I don't know how I got here.
But 10/10, an amazing video, and you really nailed the PERFECT volume for your background music.
Never lose that passion.
Love this, real life nothing fancy. Inspiring too.
Smart family.....teach us.
In these covid time ...everyone running around like headless chicken.
If everyone was doing what you are doing....life would be so much better.
Now you join us. Not everyone was running around. You need to make an action plan though and add some new ideas each year.
this is my DREAM and especially Now! I knew 8yrs ago to get started and instead, sold everything and moved to France to travel non stop! Oh how I wish I had slowed just a little to secure a farm and cellar and continue traveling!
Life goals!!!! What a beautiful seller thank you for sharing.
Hey, I don't know if you'll ever read this message, but I wanted to give you an idea regarding cheese. In Romania we make white cheese which doesn't need such a long processing time and the humidity it's not important at all.In Turkey and Greece they make similar ones. The difference is that the cheese is preserved in rye or salted water and it can be eaten when is one day old or several months. Make a small research, I'm sure you'll find something.
Like feta ?
It looks like feta, yes, but there are so many types depending on the milk, as you also said about the summer milk or winter one. We make out of goat, sheep and cow milk, each of them having a distinctive taste.
Turks even have different names for each type of cheese depending on the consistency, so probably they really have strict processing techniques. In Romania people still make their own cheese in the village so it really differs from one household to another. We call it "brânză" if you want to google it to have an idea about how it looks like.
@@boghiutza It looks very good ! I love cheeses like that, but here we mostly eat "old" cheese, that requires lot of time to be affined
Shaye, I read somewhere where Irish Spring soap (original smell) deters mice. Last winter we put four bars in our storage shed and no mice. Perhaps it would work in your root cellar.
Interesting!
I use electronic devices, it’s ultrasound and doesn’t bother anything but those vermin and friends
I tried Irish Spring soap around my garage and the mice around here actually nibbled on it 🤦 lol
@@GridIronHillFarm "....And They Like It Too....!"
@@GridIronHillFarm oh no ☹️
Love, Love, Love.... how you bring back those old methods of preserving foods.
we are so happy for ya. Your doing amazing.
What a gold mine! Everything looks amazing and delicious! I think you’re official my food storage hero! 🦸♀️ 👑
Watching this with my 3yo daughter. When you asked "what do you want to eat?" She says "I want to eat cookies!"
What a dream! Very exciting cellars! Thank you for sharing!
What a plethora of knowledge and a ton of work. Great inspiration! Thank you for sharing!
I am so loving this show.
So I’m not the only person doing this and enjoying it too!
You make me work harder and not give up, and try new ideas.
Thank you 😊
I love this! My family has farming/ homesteading background. I moved to the city & my parents are getting older so we hardly do as much as we used to. It makes me happy to see other people doing this.
I had watched videos from this channel 2 years ago, and have been looking for the last 3 days! I'm so glad I finally found it. It's my absolute favourite homestead channel. I made the error not to subscribe then, I'm doing it now
I grew up with this in moldova...parents and us kids worked the land from seeds to veg then work on the preserving them in jars...awesome
