Today was a very full and very fun day here on the ranch. We milked Honey for the first time, and her calf Orea and his buddies, the piglets, made an appearance. I canned some beans and shared all I know about pressure-canning them with you. We also did a large harvest in the garden and got it all ready for the freeze-dryer. I hope you enjoy coming along with us.
Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much for watching! 😊
I live in the city but always enjoy following along because you are a very informative vlogger.
@@aronaeleven5574 indeed Chelsea is!
Love every bit of your video, not just the canning, especially love your garden tours.
Chelsea, you are so good and tender with your animals, it's such a joy to see that!
Seems fortuitous that today I’m soaking garbanzo beans for canning tomorrow. I wasn’t expecting to boil them tomorrow but it totally makes sense for dried beans. I love what you are doing on your channel. I live in the middle of a big city and I don’t have an amazing garden or animals and all of the things your life includes. But I share canning love, my tiny amazing hosta garden and an occasional hummingbird. So you see, you reach out to all of us. Thank you for sharing your lovely world with us. ❤️
Thank you so much! That’s so kind and you made my night.😊
Garden looks lovely even if it’s not the usual year.
Looking forward to zucchini relish in video. I have a recipe I got from a neighbor years ago. She wouldn’t give it to me as long as I lived next to her. She always said just give me zucchini and I’ll make it. So I always gave her plenty and some of everything I grew. Then when I told her I was moving away we shared a tearful hug and she gave me the zucchini relish recipe. I always think of her when I make it.
I love that storey so much!!
The best advise I heard when I first got my pressure canner (an all American), was to run a batch of jars with nothing but water in them. That way you get to experience the process, figure out what the steaming looks like, and how to control the temperature for the rattler and the cool down and not worry about ruining anything. Then when you do it with food you have a bit more confidence and experience. Highly recommend it to any newly!
That is great advice!
I was advised to do this. But was so excited when I got my Presto canner, I ended up restarting the whole process when the pressure dropped below 11lbs. And my own BP went shooting up. Hashing mush. Hashtag what a waste. It’s getting the temperature control perfected that’s more important than fearing the inconvenience and cost of a kitchen revamp. 😅 I bought the jiggler last year and that helps me relax more having got used to the sound so I can watch Little Mountain Ranch after putting away the prep mess.
I've started soaking my beans that way and now my mom can actually enjoy eating beans without the stomach 😢 pains from gas. So I'm a believer of this.😊
You have a beautiful homestead and are 100% right about canning beans this way. I have taken the "easier" way to process them and kept wondering why my jars were so hard to clean. Upon more research I realized the importance of soaking and 30 minute pre cook.
Love the convenience of having jars of canned beans on the shelves! I stopped soaking my beans only because after soaking and then being in a pressure canner for 90 mins made them too mushy for us. And we honestly have never noticed a difference in more or less gas because of not soaking. THAT was definitely a concern. 😂 Thank you for another great vlog!
A funny story now, though it wasn't at the time. My Mom was cooking loose pinto beans in her smaller pressure cooker. The only thing she can think happened was her guage and stove temperature were off, anyways, the steam valve blew out and pinto beans quite literally and physically covered the ceiling and walls of the kitchen. What a mess we had to clean up, lol !!!!😅
Love how your pigs bonded with the cows. We once had a potbelly pig show up at our farm and it bonded with one of our horses. It would follow her everywhere and would stand under her when it rained. Enjoy watching your videos very much 🙂
Oh my goodness those piglets with that calf are too precious!
I shopped my local nursery for their discounted veggie starts that needed a little love. What was labeled as arugula grew into 3 gorgeous broccoli plants. First time I’ve ever grown that! Thanks for the tip on harvesting. 😊🥦
Thank you again for all the videos. If you are always losing your scissors, try what I do: tie a pair of scissors to my apron, or a lamp or something stationary in every room, etc. A long attachment ribbon is very helpful. I have a pair of scissors and a tape measure literally in every room in my house.
That’s brilliant!!!!
😂 We own about 6 pairs of scissors. There are times we can't find any of them.
I'm from the UK and have noticed that from the homesteading videos I watch that the cauliflower leaves are disposed of. Also florets are only used as with broccoli. The leaves are very delicious cooked as they don't take long to cook and can also be used raw in salads. People even here don't seem to realise this. The stalks are great too as are broccoli stalks. Great even chopped in soups.
I'm glad you said something about eating the leaves. I was thinking you might be able to cook them like cabbage leaves or kale. Thank you for this information.
You can also shred the broccoli stems and use them in place of or even with cabbage in coleslaw. It has a great flavor for that
I'm from the UK too and I'm with you. I love cauliflower greens. ❤
The two little piggies and Oreo playing is hilarious
You are a gifted teacher!
Thank you so much!💕
Just an idea for your canned black beans. You can easily make a black bean salsa!
I took a pint jar, drained and rinsed. Added a goodly amount of fresh cilantro and dill from the garden ( I'll guess about A Tbsp worth of each chopped up) juice from one lime, about 1/4-1/2 tsp of cumin and I had a mango that needed to be used. Y'all- it was off the chain 😄. In going to try it with pineapple next.
My husband took some into work and everyone loved it! Go me😁
Yum!!
Chelsea you are so very talented and wonderful to watch. Learning a lot from your videos.
Quiet weekend here in Australia for me, with the first lot of high heat early into Spring. Sitting in the breezeway watching your videos and thoroughly enjoying them and your thoughts. You amaze me with your energy and commitment to homesteading. I suppose it isn't hard when yiou enjoy what you are doing, as you obviously do. I am a sewer and my idea of bliss is to have the time to sit and sew without interruption whenever I feel like it........I feel your love of canning. Canning is not a big thing here in Australia but I have bought a few jars and this summer when all the beautiful stone fruit are available and the tomatoes are so cheap (after a horrendous Winter price spike) I plan to do some canning. Cannot wait.
I am so happy to hear you say it will just be as it is---you work so hard and seeing you let go of what you can't fix perfectly is great and shows so much growth. Have been following you for about three years and have never heard you say these things---Good for you!!!
Thank you so much for noticing!
Thank you, this was full of helpful information!!
I love snapdragons!!! Lovely garden. So cute seeing the piggies and calf.
I just found you about a month ago. You are so energetics and organized. I Admire you. I love your channel. Thank you from Alaska.
Welcome!!
Beautiful vegetables! Thanks! I love preserving vegetables, so satisfying knowing how good they will be this winter.
Such a fresh and organic harvest
So looking forward to see all the canning and everything else.
Oh my goodness, it makes me so happy to see your cows! Thank you.
When you spoke about the beans, another reason to do the soak and boil method is that the wedging that happens with the dry is not guaranteed to get to the right temp for long enough to kill botulism spores. I've done quite a bit of studying of botulism, and definitely want to keep my family as safe as possible, so follow as many approved methods as I can. Just good practice to give the extra effort. 😊
Oh, I’m excited to see the pork and beans episode! My husband just bought me an electric pressure canner for my birthday, so I’m excited to start using it.
I’m so jealous of your huge broccoli! I guess it’s just the difference in climate, mine just doesn’t grow that big. I even bought and used a 30% shade cloth. It did keep it from bolting, so that’s good, but the heads are still pretty small.
The new calf is so sweet!
Love Love Love the way to treat and talk to all your animals. It proves what a kind and gentle person you are.
If your navy beans come out mushy after canning you can always make navy bean soup with them and mash them for a creamy style of bean soup. So
So good
You are so full of knowledge! I love watching your videos!!
Wonderful walk through your busy day; thanks for sharing your knowledge! Loved seeing the little piggies & the calf darling calf! Blessings to all 🤗💗🇨🇦
A very nice and informative video! Thank you. So enjoyable!
Thank you so much for explaining things in a way that make it easy to understand
I’m so glad that’s the way I come across.😊
Your snapdragons are beautiful. Love your information you share thank you.
I just love your channel, I learn so much and I love the way you teach. Thank you ❤
I do have some apprehension on garlic cloves and honey. Could you do a episode on making that.
Thank you Chelsea I don't know how you do everything you do!😮
Tarragon vinegar is used to make the great tasting coleslaw from the Kentucky fried chicken restaurant and your tarragon would make a great vinegar.
I’ll definitely try that! White vinegar.
Oreo is a big boy
Honey said get back in here OREO!
This video came along at a great time. We love madras lentils over rice so I purchased all of the ingredients to make the Madras Lentils but I wasn't sure if they would survive pressure canning. After your video, I feel confident the lentils & kidney beans will hold up fine. Now for the time to get it done.😊
Goodness, just love the amount of info shared on your channel. So many little tips and bits of interesting info. Thanks, Chelsea!
Thank you very much for the instructions on the pressure canning!! I have never been successful with this before and you helped me figure out what i did wrong
I have question! I’m a mom with young kids (3 under 7) and as I watch your videos I wonder how you made your lifestyle work when your kids were younger. I’m always looking for inspiration because try as I might, canning has been a once in a while thing for me, without a lot of help. Now, minding a homestead is another task I’m always amazed moms do because wow, if I can get my bathroom cleaned and the dishes done I’m winning!
I can relate so much to this. The best advice to give you is not to worry about trying to do all the things when you’re kids are small. It just ends up causing more stress than it’s worth. Keeping your heart and mind as free of stress as you can is the biggest gift you can give your little ones. I dearly wish I’d known that when mine were young.💕
Please Please do a complete canning cookbook for your recipes- both water and pressure- Have been saving as many of your recipes as possible- this will our first year canning (my grands want to learn and we will be learning together-) we usually freeze our garden goodies-
btw have you ever used an electric pressure canner like presto - we have a stove top one but wondering if we should invest in one
Awesome video. Beautiful harvest. Oreo is so adorable.
❤ from Ontario! Always look forward to your videos!
Can't wait till hard cover cookbook is out! I want a few(4) for Christmas gifts, and 1 for myself.
My apples are on and starting to blush, my cherries are still rock hard and green, totally opposite of what it should be
You are just amazing, I love everything you do! I can’t wait until each video comes out. Thank you for all that you do. ❤
Thank you so much!
I like the refrigerator there... maybe you can have 2 upstairs and leave that one and put another in the old space😊
Even though I do not do any of these wonderful tasks any longer, I still ENJOY the content and coming along with Chelsea on The Little Mountain Ranch. The little calf is adorable and those piglets were certainly fun, I think Oreo thought so, too!! 🥰Memories are wonderful when one gets older💗💚💜
Everythings beautiful
I flash freeze everything as I put everything into large bags and then just take out what I need - things don't get lost that way. I make a canner full of navy beans in a tomato base about once every 6 weeks or so (I will have for lunch). My last one was made using a thinned out BBQ sauce...so good. Nice thing about it is that each batch is slightly different. Just be sure to have the liquid be on thinner side so beans soak up and not be dry. Just finished doing a canner full of the each of the same beans as you (minus chic peas). I can all year round so I can't really say when I am done for the year....lol. I was doing squash in March...lol.
Very informative video. Thanks x
You’re welcome 😊
You made me feel old when you said you’ve been PC for 10 years. I thought about it, really? Over 40 years! Lol
Beautiful beans. Beautiful Animals and beautiful Chelsea!
I just got a steam canner. For jam. I’ll try it and see. 🤷♀️😊
I’ve been using a steam canner for high acid foods for decades! It’s so nice not to have to deal with all that water and waiting so long for it to boil.
Oh my like Charlottes Web my fav as a kid❤️❤️ love this blessings ❤❤
You are a bonafide farmer with all the love you have to share. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️💜💚🥰🤗
Yeah!! Looking forward to the hard cover cookbook!
I didn't finish the video yesterday when you released it but I'm back at it this morning. I just love the video, and the bit about the beans I never knew the part about the gas. It was just always the way my Grand Mother did it whether cooking them or canning them. I wish I had a pressure canner I looked the other day and they were almost $600 or maybe it was over I can remember but it was the one your using that I was looking into. Great garden I've been out of gardening since the lockdown my tiller's motor popped and then you couldn't get one for the longest and now they are just outrageous now we could take a chance with a cheaper one but I have to much clay here the ground was completely clay when I first got here anyway enough of me rambling on great video thanks so much
Thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge with us. Really looking forward to purchasing your cookbook. ❤
You are so welcome!
yep
Pouch is Adorable, such a good idea who ever thought of that little apron tool. Thank you for letting us city folk farm with you, PRICELESS videos. YOU ARE PRECIOUS!!!!!
A nice tip you can cook cabbage leaves use just like spinach in soups or as greens I cooked them one year with tough collards leaves in my small pressure cooker they were big tough leaves bu pressure cooker cooked them so tender delicious
I always save my chipped jars and put a big x on the bottom and store my dry good in them. Great video! I have been wanting to can dry beans and I wasn't sure which way I wanted to do it! I love your reasoning of doing yours the way you do, and I will also do mine that way
I am SO jealous of your garden && your fantastic harvests!!!
I have a raised bed that I started with asparagus crowns this year - so that will be left alone. I just harvested garlic not very big, but better than nothing && I have 24 5 gallon buckets that I’m growing vegetables in. They’re all growing, but NOT AT ALL producing yet. I get SO discouraged with my puny garden - BUT I have to say I am proud of myself to keep going && trying to get something out of it. I did start all of my seeds inside this year, so that’s an accomplishment && pretty cool.
Yes!!! Chin up, it’s been a tough year for gardeners everywhere. 😊
Just pop that alissum out and put somewhere else! Great video, hugs Chelsea 🤗❤️
🙌🏼🙌🏼learning more and more on how to can so that way I can!
The piglets are cute
Can you share the recipe for the pork and beans! Ive only ever tried one recipe but it didnt turn out. Id love a tried and true recipe! I can alot of beans. My husband grew up eating beans and i have really grown to love them! My current favourite is pinto with onion and bacon. So easy and so delicious! Thanks for all the great content. One of my favourit youtube channels😊
I just filmed it this afternoon.😊
Love your channel Chelsea. What brand stove do you have?. I didn't think you could use an All American on a smooth top.Your flower bed is incredibly pretty and I love Oreo and the piggies. Thanks for sharing with us.
My nanny made beans it old crock pot with bacon 🥓 onion 🧅 and molasses she'd cook them in the oven on a low temperature all and sever them with home made brown 🍞 yum ❤🇨🇦
So did my mum.
That is how I make mine, so good. I have a question about pressure canning. Everything I read says you can not pressure can in an instant pot as they only go to 12 pounds pressure, and you need to can at 15 pounds pressure. You are saying 10 pounds pressure, is that because of your altitude? Please let me know, if possible.
My altitude is 649 meters or 2129 feet.
I am doing my my beans this way as well. They turn out so good!
Love your videos!
Super Awesome Video!! Thank You!!! So much info - Learned a Lot today💫💫
Such a lush lovely garden. Your flowers are all so beautiful. I’m really interested in your pork and bean recipe. My navy beans come out mushy when I presoak them. I can for the same amount of time at the same pressure. Wonder if the age of the bean affects that at all?
Hi❤
Die Porki Bohnen sind sicher sehr lecker als Salat 😊
Wir geben die gekochten und bereits kalten bohnen in eine Schüssel ...geben einen einmal in hälfte dünn geschnitten Zwiebel dazu... salz...pfeffer....Essig...und Kernöl..oder Helles Öl....ein kleiner Schuss Wasser....umrühren und fertig ist der Bohnensalat 😊😅❤wenn man möchte kan man auch einen knoblauch dazu geben....bittte vorher aber den Bohnensalat probieren ob ein knoblauch überhaupt notwendig ist 😊
Lg.Manu 🙋♀️🇦🇹
Ps.Deine Videos sind soooo toll❤❤❤❤ich schau mir gerade eines nach dem anderen an😅😂❤❤
Thank you!
Signed up for the newsletter, want to make sure I get your hard covered recipe book.
Awesome! Thank you!
I love sweet alyssum too. It comes in various sizes. I try to get dwarf varieties to use as a mulch. It’s also edible and a prolific self-seeder. I have zero qualms with taking scissors to the larger clumps. I shake them to drop seeds and bugs before giving them a good wash and throwing them into a salad. It’s a brassica and tastes mildly like broccoli with a sweet floral kick.
I always love your energy and your well organized videos. I reference your canning videos all the time. For fun though I love watching your garden tour. I grew up in North America but live on Guam now and although we have an amazing variety of things we can grow here most of them are not what you grow in North America. The snap dragons took me back to my childhood. Thank you! Also your video's are perfect for hanging laundry and folding laundry! I keep a notebook so I can note anything I want to rewatch if it's technique specific. Thank you for all the hardwork on your videos.
Thanks for such good content!
I’ve been canning beans this week. I canned pork n beans yesterday one of the favs and then today I canned chili beans and last week I canned butter beans. Love the convenience of canned beans. I love going in your garden with you. I love gardening and enjoy watching things grow
Love your videos and recipe
Tarragon is very tasty in chicken salad.
Great video love the piglets following the calf. Canning looks amazing!!
I would like to be notified of your cookbook release
You can sign up for my. newsletter in the show notes above! 😊
After watching your video I think I finally feel confident enough to can beans for the first time! Thank you for all the information. One question though, my altitude is just under 1000 feet - do I say it is under or over? I have checked several different ways, sometimes it is 997 to 999 and sometimes it is over 1000 by a hair.
Hi Chelsea, I love that you show your snapdragons every video....I love them too. Yours are such pretty colours! Your Alyssum is amazing! The straw flowers are awesome too. Great harvest today. Take care, see ya next time! ❤❤😅
I can the navy beans AS pork n beans and they turn out awesome! I just watched a few different videos to get some recipe ideas and my family loves the convenience of grabbing a jar when going camping or just making their own lunch with wieners and beans! Haha. Is that another Canadian thing? Not sure….. thanks for another video Chelsea! Xoxo ❤🇨🇦❤
I have learned so much from you! Thank you for your videos! ❤
Be careful being in that smoke. I worked in it for 8 hrs two weeks ago and that night started to cough a lot. It got worse …I started coughing a lot and became very tired…….I learned it was particles in my lungs from the smoke which caused a respiratory problem. I don’t tend to go to the Dr because I’m very sensitive to antibiotics, some give me severe allergic reactions. I used my mullion tincture…..still having some coughing but not as extremely tired as I was.
The fire smog and trail sprays have made our air quality very bad. I don’t have any bronchial problems normally. My husband has COPD and he’s had some days it was
hard to breathe easily.
Never heard how and why the fires started but you would think by now it would have been contained.
I was told a lot of people are having respiratory ailments and going to the ERs….
Be careful.❤ Baby animals are so sweet. I wish we could use our farm to raise some but hubby says no…he doesn’t want to deal with hauling water and food…..and he can’t eat what he’s raised…
I just dehydrated a large amount of greens for green powder to have this winter….making more mullion and echinacea tinctures.
Also stocking up on vitamins and good herbs to keep us healthier…..
Thanks for the dry bean explanations, you answered so many questions of mine. I have so many dry beans, I want to try canning some of them. Yes, I member you planting all those herb and flower seeds. What amazing colors varieties and sizes. Your gardens look just scrumptious!!!🎉🎉🎉
Another lovely visit to LMR. Thank you.
Just made 11 pints of zucchini relish (3 different recipes), but I'd still love to try yours if you do share it!
Letting the canning season begin!! ❤
You always are so good at explaining and teaching. I have garbanzo beans I need to can, I think it's That 1800's Farmhouse that cans beans with sesame seeds and other things as ready to blend hummus. You've inspired me to get to it!!❤
Didn’t used to be worth canning beans in the UK with the price of store beans being same as a canning lid. Now though! 😮 We don’t eat many canned beans 🫘 in our house but if my navy bean (trial) harvest is successful, I’ll be canning a batch using my stock of lids before energy prices rise again this winter.
Love your videos. Hope you don’t mind me repeating myself every time! 😁
Never!💕
Loved the video. i envy you your garden. Mine is on a much smaller scale. i make a great zucchini relish as well. Tomorrow, my daughter and I are making strawberry rhubarb jam. Our harvest isn't until the end of august and into september. our growing season is short.
great video ,Cdn dude on Van island doing the same

Great job Chelsea! I too am noticing hot, hot days and below average nights which makes things much different in the garden.
