addicted to your channel, mom of 3, I grew up on a farm here in UK, watching your channel brings so many happy memories of a life smaller but similar to yours. bless you both Art and Bri, your 4 beautiful children are a credit to your love,commitment and a glorious home. Bri I love you recipes and your explanations 💜 Keep up the hard work its much appreciated xxx
I can't thank you enough for this comment :) Just today I was having a freak out moment trying to figure out how to "get it all" done. Really, Thank you!
Just had surgery and been binge watching your vlogs....daydreaming about the day me and my two kids can live my self-sufficient homestead dream! Your family is an inspiration and your parenting is phenomenal ...truly role models of a healthy, happy family. I lived a very rough childhood and it's so nice to see a balanced home is possible ♡thank you for sharing your lives with us all♡
Me too. I'm with Pippa. I love watching you and your kids. I think your parents are great. I love your attitudes. I look for your upload every day! I'm glad you "get it all done" because I sure enjoy the end result. Thank you!
Michael Hudecek cheap land in upstate NY, you trade a few city conveniences like 24h shopping but the benefit of country life is priceless. If you really want it, you can make it work
2013 me&my friends put up&shared so many apples from a farmer&his wife that I'm just about out of Apple sauce&pie filling. We shared the apple's with churches&our township pantry.
I could listen to Joyful talk all day. I love her voice. You all did an amazing amount of work. Really enjoyed seeing your baby play with happy apple. I had one of those fot my son who is 35 now. I kept it for him and gave it to him for his girls. I'm oretty sure he had put it in his trunk of his history of self for safe keeping now that his girls are older. lol
I an really mesmerized by your videos ...literally I loved this idea of homestead.... you guys are doing great job...really this is real life happens... this is a real inspiration for me... Love .
I was happy to see you use the food mill. I have my mother's which she used to make applesauce and rice (mashed) potatoes. I think she may have used it for making jellies as well. I've only had the opportunity to use it for potatoes.
I love apple season! My husband and I work together to get it all done. We start out like you but cover the apples with more water. Then pour off water and it is like juice/cider! then run it through strainer (we cheat and use kitchen aid attachment) to make apple sauce or butter. Then all those peels and cores get put in a fermenting bucket and covered with water and a little sugar to speed up the process. Add an airlock and allow to ferment. After it gets good and boozy we strain out pulp and add a splash of Brags ACV and cover securely with a fly proof breathable material. Then wait patiently...soon we have lots of homemade vinegar!
You work so hard. I admire your dedication. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills with us. You constantly inspire me. God Bless you and your family.
That's awesome. I bought me a food mill for processing my blackberries and plums for jam. Ok, you need to make cooking videos like Rececca. Love your channel.
I didn’t know the Apple peeler/corer with clamp existed. I actually have the one with a suction cup and use it on a stainless steel island top. I’ve never had it release until I let it. Maybe it’s new hope for anyone who has the kind I do. Otherwise it is made like yours. I liked the other tool that separates the peel and seeds. That’s really a timesaver too! Great work! I’ve never done as many as you have at one time. Wow! I happened upon this older vlog on the tail of yesterday’s vlog about your holding pattern while waiting for the new baby boy. You’d think I was waiting for my grandson! I can’t wait to meet him. I am praying for a safe delivery for you and baby.
I have an apple peeler/corer like that but mine has the suction cup- you wet the bottom of the cup and then stick it on the counter- I've had it 25 years and it works great. I use a steam juicer and get apple juice then run the pulp through my Squeezo. That way you get juice and delicious apple sauce :) Your applesauce looks wonderful
Another person commented that their counter top is granite and it works great on their counter as well. We have always used it on wood. I wonder if that is the difference? What is your counter made of ?
Hi. that's know as a Flotte Lotte here in Germany and I tried it for the first time this year. Soo much easier than peeling and coring the apples first. especially if you have 300lbs! I really enjoy your videos and take my hat off to you for being so energetic and positive with 4 small kiddies. mum's work is rarely appreciated although it is so important and so tiring!
this is how i make my applesauce too! i take the cores out tho.. i love the thickness the peels give ( pectin) and it has a nice pinkish tinge when i use nice red apples!.
Woo! I'm just at the tail end of apple madness around here. I also had over 300 lbs. crazy. But we have over 100 jars of applesauce on the shelves, several quarts-worth already in our bellies, plus some were used to make apple crisps for ourselves and neighbors!
Honey, you need a Victorio! With a squash screen, berry screen, tomato screen. Before the next harvest season. Tag sale season is coming up. Start looking for one. You will never go back to that hand mill after using one.. amazing time saver. And easy for the kids to use. I inherited my grandmothers, and now my grandkids help with it. 4th generation Victorio. Worth every cent.
I throw cored apples with the skin on, in a crock pot. So easy and after a while, just use a hand blender, all done. ready to put in refrigerator for all week, or freeze. Keep the videos coming, I watch every morning. Love them.
I found a no-name version of the Victorio at a thrift store and it is such a blessing. Hope you are able to get something like it before your next harvest, you'll love it!
I'm in awe of how well you do with the little people>>I just adore your family..you are always smiling and happy! What all do you dehydrate? I want to get one too!
So far...apples. But you can dehydrate pretty much anything! I want to make zucchini chips next year. And other fun treats like that. I also want Art to make me a solar dehydrator.
I live in urban city. Homes, offices, than again home and office, big malls, traffic everything is just so artificial. I love watching your life in your videos. I wish i would also have done all those things you do, but only watching it satisfies me, such a natural and charming life. Ur grandma is gr8, she taught u all this and it is her u guys r living such a gr8 life. God bless you all.
I have yet one more excellent way to put up apples that also makes a great gift idea. Apple pies in a jar. Simply mix the sliced apples with the spices you use for pies, put them in your jars, seal, hot water bathe the correct time. When you wish to use them, line a pie pan with your crust, put the quart of apples in crust, place a crust or lattice crust on top and bake. Really makes great gifts.
Bri you are so right, I bought one of those other apple peeler/corer with out the C clamp and the suction cup does not stick, we need to find the one you have.
Yum!! I love apple time! Do ya'll dip your slices intended for the dehydrator into lemon water or citric acid water before drying to keep them from browning?
I just found something called a steam juicer. You may want one. It steams the apples on top and makes them soft and makes the juice on the bottom. You would get more out of your apples! 😊
Art & Bri - You know how you say "happy heart" when one of your kids is grouchy? I tried this on my 4 year old and couldn't believe it. I asked him when he was getting grouchy yesterday, "do you want a happy heart or a sad heart?" and he said "happy heart" and his mood completely changed. Crazy. :)
Yes! This in giving your kid a skill that he can use for his whole life! We fail at doing this perfectly consistently but strongly believe in it. Even if they choose to be grouchy, they know it was there choice and learn to not blame their situation or other people.
Hi Bri, I wanted to comment on the Apple peeler. I bought mine twenty year's ago and it looks like yours except mine has the suction cup. I love mine it sticks to my counter top like it's superglued there. I never have a problem with my suction cup working properly. I use mine at least once a week starting from the first of October until my Apple's run out and that's usually about March,, I make an Apple pie once a week, usually on Saturday morning for Sunday's desert. Gotta have Apple pie a piece of sharp cheddar cheese and a cup of perked coffee. My favorite. Anyway back to the peeler, I think it may depend on the surface you were going to use it on. Thanks and take care.
I believe you are right! You are the third person to say they love their suction cup peeler. Thanks for letting me know and I am going to put a correction in since so many people love theirs!
We had a happy apple when we were little and I'm in my 40's. I have a paer tree and i think I'll be making pear sauce and pear butter next month. I think that I am going to try to make the candy like the kids maybe. I want to learn how to make a chicken fried steak
I didn't put it in there because I don't "love" it. I just went and checked the brand, but it is so old I can't find the name! A friend of mine who likes to dehydrate loves her Excalibur.
I have made applesauce for years and years and years... I use a tool called "Deluxe Food Strainer and Sauce Maker by VICTORIO VKP250" it's on amazon and works so much faster and better than the mill you were using. Wishing you lived closer so I could help you and let you borrow mine!!! Thanks for being such a great teacher!! I was thinking of you all day today as I made my grape juice cuz I wanted to share with you.
my momma used to just peel and core her apples cold pack them raw then add sugar and stir when serving this way if any jars spoiled there was no wasted sugar times were hard in backwoods Wv for us in the 60's
I haven't read all the comments. But you might want to invest in a steam juicer. I just wash the apples, quarter and put in the top. You get apple juice out the bottom. Put the apples from top through my kitchenaid mill or you can use your hand one. Then I process my applesauce and juice at the same time. You can make jelly with this, do meat in the top and stock out the bottom. I love mine.
Haha I knew before you even showed the apple corer what you were going to say. I can't imagine going back to doing it by hand! So labor intensive! I think I got mine for $20, best money I've ever spent haha
i have an old crank meat grinder i still use, clamps onto the table same way. that thing you used at the end to grind up the cooked apples looked like a ricer. did you add cinnamon to your applesauce?
We are going apple crazy at our house too. We also have a happy apple that was my husband's, but he broke one of the leaves off. Boys can be hard on toys.
HOW fun!!!! ok, don't laugh but, I thought you had to use sugar in the canning process, like for preserving, I guess that is dumb! lol...I love how your kids like to get in and acutally be part of helping, that is so great!
I know it is an expense but I have used a Victorio Strainer at about $60 for making apple sauce and have used the tool you have here or at least one similar. I promise you... The 50-60 bucks you spend for the years of service for the Victorio will be worth the cost.
When you want to sanitize your jars, instead of having the jars clanging around in the boiling water risking chipping...Use the canning rack that should have came with your canner. Put the jars upside down on the rack with a few inches of water to boil in the bottom of the canner, a shot of vinegar to keep the jars clean...put the cover on & in 20 minutes or so..Sterile jars! Also, after you cook the apples, dump or scoop them into a colander to drain before you foodmill them..That way you won't end up with soupy/watery applesauce. ;)
When our twins were born we made all their baby food for them till they could eat real food. I had a family friend that was a peach farmer and one year we had so much rain that he was not able to tend the peaches the way they should have been so he let us come and get all the peaches we wanted. We are in SC btw so peaches are abundant here. Then my father in law has a few pear trees so we got a few 5 gal buckets of them too. We bought squash from the farmers market and a family member gave us green beans. We used a peeler just like the one you have to peel those pears and it worked perfect. Mine is the one with the suction cup though and I have never had an issue with it. Used it hundreds of times and I have had it going on 4 years now.
Hello, Bri. I love your channel, found you through Justin Rhodes. Will you be using the apple peels to make jelly? Thanks for sharing your lovely family with us!
Dehydrating apples: lay one old, clean sheet across the hood of a really old, red pickup truck; spread your cored apple slices all across, top with cheesecloth or another sheet, hold down in several places with medium sized rocks. wait. wait awhile longer. nope, Chuck Testa, wait some more. ok, they're done, bag 'em up and freeze 'em.
Can I ask just one more thing? I haven’t watch all you videos so I don’t know if you do already but I’m a non experienced farmer looking for knowledge - could you please have more teaching type videos - thing to watch out for what to feed certain animals and how to care for them - and anything else farming -- thank you!!
addicted to your channel, mom of 3, I grew up on a farm here in UK, watching your channel brings so many happy memories of a life smaller but similar to yours. bless you both Art and Bri, your 4 beautiful children are a credit to your love,commitment and a glorious home.

Michael Hudecek cheap land in upstate NY, you trade a few city conveniences like 24h shopping but the benefit of country life is priceless. If you really want it, you can make it work
We have a happy apple that is 44 years old! Lol so many kids played with it. Love that toy. I am enjoying your channel. Thanks for sharing.
Love ur videos.. such a happy family... love to see if kids all growing up.. wow they love their veggies no complaints. Thank you for ur videos.
"Putting food by" was the words used when canning etc in the old days! Great videos!
2013 me&my friends put up&shared so many apples from a farmer&his wife that I'm just about out of Apple sauce&pie filling. We shared the apple's with churches&our township pantry.
Your family is adorable! And everyone is having so much fun. Great videos! Thanks!

Bri, I have the same dehydrator and I love it too
Awesome update thank you for sharing have a blessed day
I have my Happy Apple from when i was a baby! All my kids have played with it, and I'm saving it for my future grandchildren.
That is really cool!
Love your life , your family& and your story
Bri did i just see a cow in your yard love your family and your videos thanks for sharing.
Yes, yes you did! But it's not my yard. It's the neighbor's. Y'all will be the first to know when we get cows.
Woo! I'm just at the tail end of apple madness around here. I also had over 300 lbs. crazy. But we have over 100 jars of applesauce on the shelves, several quarts-worth already in our bellies, plus some were used to make apple crisps for ourselves and neighbors!
100 Jars! Great Job!
The most valuable part is three generations working together. :-)

Thanks much. We have thought of this but have not tried it yet, leaving the skin on.
Hey Art- I tried it today for making apple butter. It's awesome. - BRI
Well, maybe we should talk about our day and quit answering comments in separate rooms. -Art
Ok-But come into the living room with me, instead of me into the kitchen with you. It's warmer in here!
ok. -A
Absolutely ❤
greatings ! I love your way of life, & your way of peeling apple !! i'll definely buy one !!!
Love the family project style! For next season look for a mechanized food strainer like a Victorio or a Squeezo. Sooooo much easier!
I am hoping to get a Victorio before long. Thanks for the tip!
I found a no-name version of the Victorio at a thrift store and it is such a blessing. Hope you are able to get something like it before your next harvest, you'll love it!
I'm in awe of how well you do with the little people>>I just adore your family..you are always smiling and happy! What all do you dehydrate? I want to get one too!

Super kids,super peoples! Good luck!
Gleaning sounds is much fun! I found out about it in one of my college classes. Too bad their is no where I can do it
Bri you are so right, I bought one of those other apple peeler/corer with out the C clamp and the suction cup does not stick, we need to find the one you have.
I put a link in the description below the video. Good luck!
Yum!! I love apple time! Do ya'll dip your slices intended for the dehydrator into lemon water or citric acid water before drying to keep them from browning?

we had a apple tree with the worst sour green apple but my mom made the best apple sauce from them. i still love applesauce and i'm an old lady!
I’m not sure where you live but I love everything that I see in your channel. Love your lifestyle ❤️
Size matter when processing food. Cuts down on labor.
Do you also make (hard) apple cider? And what about canning pie filling?
Hi Bri, I wanted to comment on the Apple peeler. I bought mine twenty year's ago and it looks like yours except mine has the suction cup.

I believe you are right! You are the third person to say they love their suction cup peeler. Thanks for letting me know and I am going to put a correction in since so many people love theirs!
Bri do you season the apples before you dehydrate them? I love watching your helpful tips
Great teamwork! Talking about candy: have you tried making fruitleather? i made one with pear and chiaseeds that turned out delicious!
Love your videos. Can I ask why you got water bath the jars once they are full. No need to as far as I know. Thoughts??
Good job 👏
We had a happy apple when we were little and I'm in my 40's. I have a paer tree and i think I'll be making pear sauce and pear butter next month. I think that I am going to try to make the candy like the kids maybe. I want to learn how to make a chicken fried steak
Hi Bri - what brand of dehydrator do you use? I couldn't find it in your 'resources' listing.
I didn't put it in there because I don't "love" it. I just went and checked the brand, but it is so old I can't find the name! A friend of mine who likes to dehydrate loves her Excalibur.
Such cute kids
I have made applesauce for years and years and years... I use a tool called "Deluxe Food Strainer and Sauce Maker by VICTORIO VKP250" it's on amazon and works so much faster and better than the mill you were using. Wishing you lived closer so I could help you and let you borrow mine!!! Thanks for being such a great teacher!! I was thinking of you all day today as I made my grape juice cuz I wanted to share with you.
Yum! Grape Juice! I have been eyeing the Victorio! I am hoping to get one for next year!
Hi, love your channel! Can you tell me where you got your dehydrator from? Thanks!
my momma used to just peel and core her apples cold pack them raw then add sugar and stir when serving this way if any jars spoiled there was no wasted sugar times were hard in backwoods Wv for us in the 60's
VERY GOOD
I haven't read all the comments. But you might want to invest in a steam juicer. I just wash the apples, quarter and put in the top. You get apple juice out the bottom. Put the apples from top through my kitchenaid mill or you can use your hand one. Then I process my applesauce and juice at the same time. You can make jelly with this, do meat in the top and stock out the bottom. I love mine.
I love all natural unsweetened applesauce. I need to find that happy Apple for my baby 👶🏻
Apple making is hard - hot work, but so worth it🎈
Haha I knew before you even showed the apple corer what you were going to say. I can't imagine going back to doing it by hand! So labor intensive! I think I got mine for $20, best money I've ever spent haha
Did you take the Apple seeds and plant them?
i have an old crank meat grinder i still use, clamps onto the table same way. that thing you used at the end to grind up the cooked apples looked like a ricer. did you add cinnamon to your applesauce?
Just bought a happy apple on eBay! Lol I will think of this episode every time we hear the jingle ;)
Awesome! Enjoy your Happy Apple because you will have it for the next 50 years!
We are going apple crazy at our house too. We also have a happy apple that was my husband's, but he broke one of the leaves off. Boys can be hard on toys.
We love the happy apple!
Bri where did you get such a large canner?
I bought it at Ace Hard Ware years and years ago. It seems to be the standard size. There is a link to the same canner in my "show more" section.
Where do I buy that many apples? What type of apples did you use? Love your channel
can u do a video on the chicken fried steak? LOVE your videos! thanks!
Sure, but it is so easy I could just tell you! Let me know if you would like for me to message you.
HOW fun!!!! ok, don't laugh but, I thought you had to use sugar in the canning process, like for preserving, I guess that is dumb! lol...I love how your kids like to get in and acutally be part of helping, that is so great!
No laughing here! You need sugar for jams and jellies, but not applesauce.
Hearing that ‘PING’ is so rewarding!
I can’t believe I found this jewel tonight. ❤
I love your channel
I know it is an expense but I have used a Victorio Strainer at about $60 for making apple sauce and have used the tool you have here or at least one similar. I promise you... The 50-60 bucks you spend for the years of service for the Victorio will be worth the cost.
I have been eye balling one of those! Glad to hear they last! My main concern is that I would be buying a new on in a year or so.
My mom bought hers in the 70's and used it till she died in 2013. My Brother still uses it.
I should have let you borrow mine! ~ Rebekah
When you want to sanitize your jars, instead of having the jars clanging around in the boiling water risking chipping...Use the canning rack that should have came with your canner. Put the jars upside down on the rack with a few inches of water to boil in the bottom of the canner, a shot of vinegar to keep the jars clean...put the cover on & in 20 minutes or so..Sterile jars! Also, after you cook the apples, dump or scoop them into a colander to drain before you foodmill them..That way you won't end up with soupy/watery applesauce. ;)

Hello, Bri. I love your channel, found you through Justin Rhodes. Will you be using the apple peels to make jelly? Thanks for sharing your lovely family with us!
We have been thinking of making apple candy. But Apple Jelly? perhaps!
Mmmm Mmmm - applesauce and apple butter
Congratulations on number 70!
Thank you!
How many of the apples did you work your way through that day?
Maybe half? I am still working on it!
Makes me hungry for applesauce !
Dehydrating apples: lay one old, clean sheet across the hood of a really old, red pickup truck; spread your cored apple slices all across, top with cheesecloth or another sheet, hold down in several places with medium sized rocks. wait. wait awhile longer. nope, Chuck Testa, wait some more. ok, they're done, bag 'em up and freeze 'em.
Can I ask just one more thing? I haven’t watch all you videos so I don’t know if you do already but I’m a non experienced farmer looking for knowledge - could you please have more teaching type videos - thing to watch out for what to feed certain animals and how to care for them - and anything else farming -- thank you!!
Very cool... Are you gonna can up some apple slices as well?
Probably not. But definitely doing apple butter in the next few days!
I think you might like a Victoria strainer. I love to do my apple sauce with that.
Does Rochelle have her own utube channel as well. ???
I choose to not have a dish washer!! Love to gleam also
this lady is such a natural beauty! her cheeks look like apples!
I wonder do you do apple cheese...
how many apfel trees do you have ?
10 now. All of these are small; none of them produce yet. Hopefully planting more soon.
Today is September 17 2017, where are you guys, you didn't return after a weeks break?
Why are you not uploading new vlogs?
Sounds like y'all need a cider press!
How many of those apples did you donate?
Giving ❣️❣️
