I cannot hit that thumbs up fast enough when I see a new video.
Me as well lady 😅 love watching
😊
I need to live next door lady give me all that motivation n energy 😊 thank you for sharing I'm trying to do better I am 😊
Me too! I’ve been eagerly checking for the new upload, and happy to know I’m not the only one. I’m excited for this new pantry chat - let me get my cup of tea and settle in ☕️
Amen!
Awww, I appreciate your support so much! Truly, I do!
Wow! You are a REAL pioneer woman! Slautering and processing your own chickens and quail! I am impressed! You go, girl!❤
Hi Julie! Aww, I appreciate this so much. I've held this dream in my heart for so long and, honestly, I would think, "how am I ever going to take the next few steps and learn about how to raise birds if I'm here in this townhouse?" The Lord answered my prayers and sent Crystal, and truly, the years that I spent treating a store-bought bird like my own bird, wasn't completely off base! I've been so proud of myself these last few weeks. I wasn't sure how most folks would react here on the channel because I've only ever shown cooking and gardening content, but truly, learning the full range of farm skills is my goal. Thank you for your encouragement!
WOW! 😄 I'm learning so much from your videos! I need this! Such a blessing!🙌🏽💖
Very inspirational. :) It's the only close to humane way to get meat. @@BecomingaFarmGirl
I'm a brand new subscriber. Man, I love your channel! I grew up in a household with one sibling, always eating name brand processed foods, and watching TV. Now I have 8 children, never watch TV, and live on a little homestead with chickens for eggs and meat, a milk cow that just had her first baby, and 3 pigs. I'm learning to ferment, can, freeze dry, make cheese, water kefir... You name it. I say learning, because I often fail more than succeed, but we are getting there. It's a lot of fun and a lot of work. Your upbeat attitude is fabulous. And I like your Dad, too!! I've already learned a ton from you and expect to learn a lot more. Thank you!!
You are cultivating contentment where you are right now! Good for you! You're not waiting to be happy. You're appreciating where you are, and what you have right now! That is the secret to a happy life! ❤
Amen, Julie! Joy is found along the journey and tomorrow is not promised. While a homestead is an important goal, I've got to appreciate the gifts I have now (a roof over our heads, no matter what the size, employment, my health, my parents). And, even as you "wait" for a homestead, that doesn't mean you should be 'inactive' because lots of homesteading skills (especially ones related to food prep and preservation) won't change even once you have a bit of land. I've shared before that if I rush the years and think I can't be happy until my homestead dream, I've got to realize what may be different when that happens? Loved ones may have passed, my health could fade, who knows what. You're right, I'm happy, right now!
Amen!
Kudos to you for showing the whole process of butchering. Many RUclipsrs are afraid to do that. It's important to know where your food comes from and knowing it was humanely and lovingly raised, makes a huge difference. Great video! Thanks
Amen, friend! You said it best; I want to show the full perspective of raising and caring for birds, and, as someone who will have birds one day, butchering is an essential skill I've got to get very comfortable with. I'm so appreciative to have found a bird mentor that's giving me such a hands-on experience.
I know! I just about fell out of my chair when it didn't break away and actually showed it! But that just shows people that it truly is quick and humane. I'm super proud of you for that!
I love your videos and applaud that you want to show the whole process but RUclips will demonetize your video for it. Not sure if they will take it down or not. It’s a shame they won’t make exceptions for teaching/learning videos. Keep up with making your waiting room your classroom, I get so much out of your videos. Take care.
IM TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH THIS LADY,
IM JUST VERY SORRY THAT I HAVE ONLY JUST DISCOVERED THIS CHANNEL,
IVE ALREADY SAVED MONEY...... SERIOUSLY
🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧
Your videos are the most info packed, full of adventure and genuine spirit of anyone else I follow regarding homesteading. Your sincere delivery and the way you weave old fashioned ways into your days/weeks is incredibly unique. Your mom and dad did a splendid job raising you and the world needs more people like you Cassandra!!
What a great reminder to enjoy the present and make it special. The first thing that makes the difference in our lives is our attitude! Embracing every moment and enjoying the learning moments is a joy all it's own and actually those steps seem to produce the momentum to move forward!
No truer words, my friend! Precisely!
I just wanted to thank you for your "front porch" comments. I am an Army wife, and we move so much, and I find myself so stressed when we do. I lament the loss of our previous home, and then stress over the new one, all while dreaming of our "forever" home. I love how you pointed out that we should enjoy what we have now, even while working towards goals of the future. That really spoke to me, today. I love all that you do, thank you so much for sharing bits of your life with us!! ❤❤❤
Thank you for your sacrifice as an Army wife. I am an Army veteran and understand your plight with moving around and starting all over in a new state or country. Thank your husband for his service too and God bless your family! 😊🙏🏾❤️
Dont wait for tomorrow for tomorrow never comes. Enjoy the present, it is His PRESENT to us...AMEN !!!
So PROUD of you harvesting birds! and making stock with every part of the chicken. Way to go!!!!
Please continue your pantry chats! I watch them more than once! You have such rich life that it inspires me! I started tower gardening and canning because of
you! Thank you
We live in a tiny apartment so I love all the space saving tips you build around. You videos have been super helpful, even my husband is on board now. :)
Hi Katie! Yay, I'm always happy to meet other small space homesteaders. And even bigger kudos to getting the hubby on board, I know that's not always easy! I have come to LOVE knowing that I can take my time learning homestead skills, save up money, build a community online and in person of likeminded folks BEFORE I actually have land, so that when I do, the whole experience, and what I intend to be my dream, won't feel overwhelming. You and I don't (yet) have land, but we're both on our homestead journey!
What a great video! I'm originally from MD. Lived there for 30yrs, growing up on my grandfather's farm, which he took over after his father died, until the Baltimore beltway was connected and all the farms disappeared. He had a market space in Belair Market for decades. Then I moved to Southern PA for 37, and moved to NE Texas 2 1/2yrs ago with my mustang mare. We are both definitely missing Southern PA...and seeing Gettysburg makes me even more sure I'm moving back to Southern PA. Missing those mountains, the beautiful landscape, and definitely the beautiful spring, summer and fall weather. Sometimes God has to allow you to find your dream isn't what you'd thought it would be and it isnt greener on the other side of the hill. Love your channel!💕
You will have the best homestead ever with the front porch and all. Love your cooking and preserving.
Love love love Gettysburg. I'm from Central Pa. My younger son is a Civil War buff and we've gone there many times. Every time we take a tour we learn something new. The area is beautiful.
Just keep putting those videos out. I can't tell you how much I enjoy listening to you tell how you go about canning and saving money. You go girl ❤❤
I have just recently found your channel on the recommendation of a life long friend and I love it. My father was a retired Senior Chief in the US Navy and I now live in a small town just outside Philadelphia. You are showing me that even in the small twin house I live in I can have a garden and put things up for my husband and son.
Thank you for the reminder to live the life I have right now and not wait until everything is in place
Your beautiful mom's reaction to the fridge, priceless
Watching quail processing was traumatic for me 😂 I know this is how it should be done and admire that you’re 100% in. You are living life goals.
Girl I just got my GreenStalk Planters and usef your code. About to take the dive and start even though I’m scared as all get out. Love your channel, chitchat, and information. Keep bringing it.
I’m so happy for you! You are going to enjoy your GreenStalk so much! Keep me posted on your progress. Believe it or not, most of the things I share (canning, gardening, scratch meal prep) gave me a bit of anxiousness in the beginning but I’m SO glad I stuck with it. Remember, it’s about progress not perfection! Keep becoming a farm girl!
Failure isn't failure! It's an opportunity to know what not to do next time! I've been trying to sow and grow a garden this year in my new place with absolutely no success, aside from a tiny radish 😂 (squirrels and birds dig up my seeds and bug infestations are at an all time high). But i came upon a random tomato that I did not plant and it produced so well. Only try to control the things you can. YOUVE GOT THIS!
As a potter I love your coffee mugs. You crack me up. I have been doing this for years but I love watching young ladies like yourself findin joy in gardening and preserving.
Hello Susan! Nearly all of my pottery is thrifted and I'm tickled every time I find one! I have just fallen head over heals in love with all things food preservation and busying myself with notion of being a farm girl! I'm so glad you join me in my kitchen!
Yes, you "are "a country girl, now. You have processed a bird & that's more than MANY country girls can do. Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉😊 Live for now, too, instead of in the hamster wheel. Some get so tired up in everyday running we forget to enjoy ourselves where we are. Love you Mom! Tks
You are my new Girl (RUclips) crush ❤. My husband is retired Army and we are currently live abroad (Germany). Whilst most of the rules of grocery buying aren't the same, I still get so much info and enjoyment from watching you.
As the saying goes, bloom where you're planted and you're in full bloom!
Loved this Pantry Chat.
I have some young roosters that I want to learn how to process. What a valuable friendship!
I didn't think I would watch the whole video, but I couldn't stop. I appreciate your enthusiasm and joy that you share in the video, even with the dispatching of the quail. It is part of the journey that you are on I learn so much from you, not just the skills you share, but the mindset. Thanks
Hello Mary! Aww, I'm so happy you joined me in my kitchen. It's small, but plenty of good meals and preserved jars come out of it! I am so glad you understood why I shared the quail dispatch part. Since I plan to keep birds one day, it's an important skill I need to learn and I so appreciate Crystal's guidance as I learn from her with her birds. While I love the artistry of the kitchen and the garden, the other side of homesteading life is hot sweaty days doing chores, shoveling poo, dispatching birds, etc. I'm so appreciative that you understand this and didn't mind me sharing that aspect. The joy is truly in the journey!
I DREAMED of moving to the country, and I mean rural El Salvador, since I was a young teenager. I even knew what my house would look like, and the animals I'd have and fruit trees that would grow around it.
I almost gave up on that dream when I was diagnosed with SLE (Lupus) when I was 25. But I found that dream house, just as I'd seen it when I was 18, when I was almost 50. When my late hubs and I moved in, in 2008, it was complete. We ended up with chickens, ducks, cats, dogs, avocado trees, and mangoes, bananas and a bunch of other tropical fruits no one's ever heard of. And we were even able to take the little plot of land organic if only for ourselves and a few of our neighbors.
What she says is right. While on your journey, try out versions of your dream. Work on recipes, learn skills, make do with what you find along the way, you never know what you'll use to make your dream a reality, and keep it in your life.
My hubs passed on, but I have had a million memories to keep him alive in my heart. My grandkids now need me, and my house is now a support for another family that needed it more than I.
The Universe is not for the wants, but for the needs. ❤
"Bloom where you are planted" ....Another awesome video.
I just bought that apple peeler/ corer 😁 your crockpot is adorable.
We harvested almost 30 gallons of pears from my in laws so I’ve been canning like crazy. I got a great deal on french plums and peaches ( both seconds ) and canned them as well.
Scooch over. I’m coming over to eat!
Nikki! Hey lady...whoa, you said 30 gallons of pears (but what a gift to harvest them from your in-laws). The way you are canning seconds is the way to do it! Peak flavor, great price, and the best way to stock a pantry! Whew, summer is such a busy canning season!
This is the first Chat I have seen, and girl, I love your way of thought, your way of expressing it, and your way of teaching it. I’ve always enjoyed your canning and cooking videos but this one was so relaxing to watch it was like catching up with an old friend
There’s a saying my grandma used that I have tried to live by. “Bloom where you’re planted.” She went on to say that contentment is a choice that we make each day, not something we have to strive to achieve. We make our own contentment by choosing to live our lives to our best ability, wherever we are, whether that’s a place we dwell or a stage of our lives.
Amen, amen, AMEN. No truer words spoken by your grandma!
Man where have you been my entire life?! My kids are even all about your videos 😂
Your husband is a lucky man.
You are a joy to learn from!!!!!
I'm convinced that we would be besties if we lived near each other!! Hahaha 😂 I truly look forward to every single video you put out. May the good Lord bless your household as you continue to wait on Him ❤️
I used your code and purchased my first greenstalk because of you. I wasn't able to use it this year because I broke my ankle, but I can not wait to use it next year. Your channel is so inspiring, informational, and enjoyable. The way you came across is so sincere, relatable, and down to earth. You have inspired me to learn gardening and canning, which I have never done before. I was so shocked to see the harvesting bc alot of channels shy away from stuff like that. So, thank you for sharing it was a great learning experience. You did exceptionally well, as if you have been doing it for years. In one of your past chat videos, it was so heartfelt I even cried. My heart goes out to you. You talked about your life, etc...and how you had a few elderly friends which is awesome you will definitely learn alot 😊. I have a few myself. I am not elderly but know you have a gained a new friend. Thank you, and keep the great content coming. 😁🙏🏼
I just love how you show and teach us to use everything so there is no waste ❤ Bless you
Absolutely, Bridget. No sense in throwing out anything that you've already paid for! I'm so happy you join me in my kitchen! ;)
I love the way you're manifesting your homestead in your townhouse. The power of it is inspiring!
Your Mom reaction was too cute. Girl you are doing it! When you get your farm you will be ready. Peace and Blessing.
I remember helping my Papa and Grannie butcher their chickens when we would come to their farm during the summer. It was so much fun. I adore your sweet precious Mother. Have a blessed week.
I usually dont like You tube messing with algorithms but not in this case. You just popped uo in my feed and I'm out of my mind happy.
Aww, this is too sweet. Thanks for taking a chance and welcome to my kitchen! You'll probably enjoy my previous monthly pantry chats too!
Your attitude is just what we need. Enjoy the journey.❤
I dream of having a homestead, too. I'm single so, probably 1 acre would do just fine. Maybe two acres if I have housemates. I would like to have a pool in the backyard. At first I was thinking built-in pool, but some of the above ground pools are nice. Anyway, I want enough land to have a good-sized veggie garden and some fruit and nut trees and, definitely, some berry bushes. An outbuilding to store my gardening tools would be helpful. My second choice would be to have an apartment with a good sized, sunny deck for vertical gardening. Thanks to you, I know it can be done. Hallelujah! :)
The BEST Coq au vin I've ever made has been with quail! ❤❤Yum!!❤❤
I wish we lived next door to each other... I love your humor and style (smile).
We replaced our dishwasher with a refurbished one and are still happy with it about 15 years later!
Oh wow. You put it so beautifully! We are living life NOW. It spoke to my heart. I also want a rural homestead and tend to get laser focused. Your words brought me back to reality… I vowed not to waste my now for a someday that may never come. And for that, I thank you! ❤
Fridge prep baskets are a lifesaver! I do the same for salads. Will definitely extend the practice to other recipes.
you make me feel like your best friend and I appreciate how you talk about valuing what you have and making the most of your life. now/
Girl, you were handling the quails like a pro. I'm so proud of you. When you get your homestead it's going to be awesome to see what you will bring. Such an inspiration.🎉
So joyful. Thank you for letting us into your days. God bless you.
Thank you. I've been canning for probably 50 years and dehydrating for about 20 years. I have made granola before but had no idea how to make these other recipes. I don't really eat cereal myself but my grandkids would probably love it. I wanted to add something to your roast chicken recipe that I have found through decades has always made my chicken or turkey taste better. Along with the other vegetables I always add carrots which seem to make everything tastier and tender.
You are so right about the cost of refrigerators. And when we bought our last one and it went out within a year and after six repair visits it never did get fixed and after a battle with the refrigerator place we finally got our money back and bought a very plain refrigerator on the advice of a salesman and the repair man. He said these refrigerators are not built to last your best bet is to get a plain and simple one.
Great video dear. Thanks for showing the bird processing, a lot of channels shy away from that. (Isn’t it amazing how much the feet enrich the broth?) You are doing such a good job, I wish every success for you. - Natalie
I pray all of your dreams come true and become reality ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your comments on establishing a place for relaxing and contemplation wherever your home is. My greatest joy is sitting on my back porch enjoying nature. Love your joyful and healthy approach to seasonal food.
Your videos are so motivating, thank you. My paste tomatoes didn't do well this year so I wasn't planning to preserve because I don't have homegrown. I did brake down and buy some for tacos. Watching this reminded me of your willingness to give up the ideal to learn how to homestead when the time comes. I should be willing to give up the ideal, homegrown, to have homemade on the shelf which is better than store bought. I paused mid video to put those store bought tomatoes into the dehydrator and I'm going buy more to make salsa, bruschetta in a jar, and pico de Gallo.
Applesauce is one of my favorite snacks 😋 I'll be trying your muffin recipe for sure! I've been looking into raising quails lately myself and appreciate you sharing your quail chores 🤩.
Hello friend! Yes, I love applesauce. The homemade version is naturally sweet and easy to make if you have the corer/peeler device! I'm so happy to hear you enjoy my features of the quail; I'll try to sneak a few video shots of them into upcoming content.
I love when your mom is in the video! LOL she was like wait a min now...
Lol, that is SO my mom! I knew she'd have a classic reaction. We talk everyday, so usually she's updated on nearly every detail of my life, so she was so surprised I hadn't shared that with her.
Your videos are so full of information!! Love your energy! May the Lord bless the works of your hands!
Hi Katie! I appreciate this so much! God is so good. September is a busy preserving season, but well worth it!
Good job Cassandra!!! I was SO happy that you actually dispatched some birds!!!
Hello friend! Awww, thank you so much! In last month's pantry chat, I showed how I dispatched the meat chickens. I feel so much more ready that i'll be able to confidently keep birds when I have the chance!
I was surprised to see you processing birds. My daughter and I processed 29 chickens a couple of years ago. It was a lot of work but worth it. I now know I can process meat birds.
Girl, I am just thanking God for you. You are so relatable and I learn so much from you. Thank you!
Awww, thank you so much, sweet friend!
I always love when you reflect and say life is happening now. It is good to have that reminder. We have been in apartment for 5 years and I keep feeling sad like we will never be able to leave but we have a porch too and I have my little porch garden and I need to enjoy what I have now! Love watching your videos!
Look at you processing quail!. Way to go, my friend. That corn soup looks scrumptious. And your mom's face, hahaha. I enjoy your videos so much. Thanks for sharing!
Hello Sandra! Aww, thank you so much! Last month I processed the chickens and yes, this month quail. Crystal has been such a blessing to me and sharing the full cycle of caring for a bird, from hatching to harvest. And yes, the corn soup was soo rich and savory!
I am so grateful you shared a practical and versatile bran muffin recipe!!! I'm so happy. Thank you
Just love all you pack into your video! I enjoyed the journey!
New subscriber. Looking forward to your channel! Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister.
I really enjoy your channel, and I just think your Mom is great. I totally agree with you that you should enjoy your life now, but keep dreaming. 😀
Hello friend! Aww, thank you for the kind words about my mom! And yes, all we're promised is the here and now, so it's best to work with what we've got.
Your videos are amazing and so helpful! I have a request, maybe others would like this too. Timestamps for each section? I see so many things I want to come back to, so I save the video, but it’s hard finding what those were without timestamps.
Just food for thought. I love your content and will be back again and again either way :)
I can't wait to make the applesauce, corn soup and fire cider! I so look forward to your videos, all the time
I love love love love this video! My husband and I have been watching your videos and have used so many of your shared recipes. You also gave me the courage to try fermenting. This quail info came just in time! We have just started talking about raising quail because they are so delicious! It does look like a setup that would be doable for us. Keep the great content coming!
Edited: hahaha!!! Your mom's reaction to the fridge cracked me up!😂
Wow! You are definitely becoming a farm girl. I don’t see myself able to dispatch birds. Everything else…I could do. Kudos to you.
Ms. Denise! It's always a pleasure to see you on the channel. I've worked my way up to it over the years (working with raw meat and the less common parts of the bird (organs, feet, necks, etc). It certainly helps to have my friend Crystal alongside me for every part because the process would NOT be something I'd want to do alone/without real time guidance. I see that you've been up to canning in your kitchen too!
I have a 20 year old quart of home made vanilla that I found in the back of a cabinet down in my basement 😋
I've seen several videos on making vanilla in an instant pot in canning jars, then letting them sit in a dark place for a few months.
Great video! I just got that apple peeler from a thrift store. I want to make applesauce, applepie filling, and my own apple cider.
Your mom is so sweet! I love her reaction when she saw the refrigerator.
I work at 4 Giant stores doing resets. Whenever we do the sets, some items get marked down 75%. Sometimes I catch the sales. This cycle we are doing canned tomatoes, canned vegetables, and coffees. I try to check their meats that have been reduced after work.
I live in PA. I grew up in TN. The deers have been real stinkers the last 2 years - jumping the fences and eating at everything. I even planted basil near things in hope that would keep them away. For years we grew potatoes in a garden with no fence and they never touched them til last year. I guess it is time for taller fences or electric fences.
Hello friend! That apple peeler is amazing; a time saver for sure and I'm so glad you found one at the thrift store! I totally surprised my mom with the fridge because we talk everyday and she couldn't believe I didn't tell her! Giant has really surprised me with their markdowns. More recently, I'm noticing those sales and I stock up when I can. Thanks for giving a heads up on upcoming markdowns I should look out for. Drats, that tough to hear that the deer have been devouring your garden. If its not one thing, its another!
I want to be your neighbor! You seem to be kindhearted, so I’m sure you share a little of your overflow 😊.
we got matching fridges!! you got a great deal I paid 2000 for it about three years ago. I absolutely love it. I will say be carful removing the drawers to clean the wheels get knocked off easy
I brought my greenstalk because of you and I absolutely love your content. I haven’t setup my greenstalk yet but I will next year. I can’t afford to purchase those green things to hold plants like eggplant so I need to do a DIY because you’ve encouraged me to grow things I didn’t even think about growing. Keep up with the great content and featuring your Mom and Dad. Thank you.
Thank you! Love your video
You are so welcome!
I’m so happy when I see one of your videos pop up in my notifications. You are so correct in your outro! Even though you can’t control where you live right now because your if husband’s work, you are still working with what you can control and creating that same vibe of country life and all that entails from your where you get your food and how you preserve and prepare it to the people with whom you surround yourself to the atmosphere and decor of your home now. You have goals and you strive towards them in all ways that you can. You become most like the 5 people you hang around most! Iron sharpens iron. A dull blade sharpens nothing and remains rusted, immovable and stagnant.
There is no moss on your stone, Cass! Like many, I am inspired by you!
Hi Kate! Awww, thank you so much for hearing my heart in that last clip. I share it because its true, and I want to be very transparent that sometimes (or for many of us for various reasons) a "homestead dream" may be a journey that takes you years to access. That reality can be crushing, OR, with a bit of perspective, you can highlight all the things you can learn, appreciate and enjoy that will only be marginal upgrades when you get land. Other than the animal husbandry part and access to a larger garden or greenhouse, food preservation, cooking from scratch, and maintaining a home are systems that won't change once you're on a homestead. The way we're "hacking our homestead" is by keeping our full-time jobs, and moving to something that feels right and is manageable. Consistency over time really adds up. The bit you do, season after season, adds up, and I'm so happy to highlight those of us that are on a homestead path that it doesn't (and shouldn't) be looked at as a race or needing to be on a specific timeline. The 'becoming' part is the joy of the journey!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl AMEN! 🙏🙌
Oh how I've missed you! I love our talks. Thank you! ❤
It's always nice to have you over for a chat!
I live in South Central Pa, just over an hour away from Gettysburg actually. It's beautiful here! I think you'd love it! 😊
Oh WOW...
My girl!!!
I Love Bran Muffins!!!!!!!
My absolute favorite.
I add sneak ins like protein powder, Chia seeds, flax seed, carrot, pineapple, coconut, chocolate chip, zucchini, rasins, cranberries ...etc.... anything really to change it up! I call them save your life muffins lol
I've found my husband would eat anything if i add chocolate chips 🤣

Omg, Thank You for that Corn Soup Recipe!!! I am sooo much craving some after seeing yours! And I love how you keep your soup fixings together In a bin in your fridge, I'm gonna have to try so many of your great ideas!!! I just found you yesterday, Cassandra and By today I feel like we are long time friends! Lol... I'm Bonita In Biloxi Mississippi... ❤❤❤
You are an absolute JOY to watch! Thank you taking us through the whole process on the quails.
I love your content so much! Super interesting and educational…. I always learn new things here….❤
Cassandra, your Momma makes me smile, glad you share your folks with us. Impressed with your bird learning, makes me want to try & again great recipes to try also. Thanks for sharing. PS.....love your website, too. I'll be making frequent stop overs, of course I'd rather it was the townhouse, I know we could be besties. 😀
Hello friend! My mom's reaction to the fridge was so cute, right? We talk everyday, so usually she's up to speed on every detail of my life, but I intentionally didn't tell her about the fridge because I wanted to see her reaction and she didn't disappoint! I still can't believe Crystal (my quail friend) took a chance on me and that I help her with her birds a few times a week. Chickens are against the HOA here, but I can keep a few quail. Don't let a small space slow you don't or stop your homestead dreams. Eventually, I'd love to have a get together at my place. We'll see! Thanks for stopping by!
You inspire me so much. I love and admire everything you do.
Im so happy for you ❤️ ..... Its true that as we constantly watch your videos & learn preservation tips & techniques from you we TRULY feel like we are FOREVER FRIENDS ... I am especially happy that not only dif you find a Mentor but you also found a friend in Crystal ❤️😍❤️ .... I support you 100% ....
I currently live in NC but come to MD to see my BFF periodically she lives in College Park ..... maybe I can stop for a chat with you one day ??? ... Have a wonderful day
Did you know that you can make and can corn broth with those cobs before you dry them out to use as fire starters? Yes ma’am you can, and it is delish! I follow Carol the thrifty chic housewife on RUclips and she has a great recipe for corn broth. I don’t always roast the corn first if I’m using it for something else, but I always save the cobs to make broth. I’ve used it to make the best coen chowder. And I’ve even used it as a soup base. The possibilities are endless! I sure hope you try it!
Hello, I am so glad that I found you on RUclips. Your amazing, love your bubbly personality. You have some wonderful recipes and tips. Thank you for sharing with the world.

Thank you Thank you Thank you! I am late getting my canning started. Thanks for the encouraging video. Now though I still have items that were pressured canned in 2019, I had hoped that my garden would have produced a lot, to add to the pantry but a lot of failure occurred. The bees were late, and I got too involved with building raised gardening boxes. But if I can catch some of the produce at our local farm stands, I will purchase in bunches there. Thanks again for the encouragement! God bless!
