That feta looked wonderful. We don’t generally get those kinds of sizes here in the UK. We don’t typically have big fridges, or storage capacity for large quantities of food - or big families to feed! - so ours tend to be those teensy little packets just big enough for one small-ish salad. I’m always fascinated by the sheer amount of food people can and do purchase in the US. (And if you are, like me, interested in seeing how other cultures deal with putting food on their family’s table, I can recommend “Our Small Footprint” which is an Australian homestead channel. Very different to most of the US ones but really fascinating because of that!) My first time here and I’m looking forward to seeing your channel grow - good luck with it, I enjoyed this one!
I LOVE Our Small Footprint! Areas of the US (like where I live) have such extreme weather you can't get anything remotely local or fresh for less than a kings ransom in the winter. We are literally within 2-3 generations of our land being settled, homesteaded. My friend's grandparents told the stories of settling, breaking ground and growing the only food to carry you through to spring. And with short growing seasons.....! Homesteading is kind of the hot term for living the only lifestyle and food relationship so many people here know. I have lived in a town in the US where it was 1.5 hours to a grocery store with produce that wasn't limp and horrible.... let's alone anything organic. It's an interesting country! PS. One of my favorite memories of England was driving home from work and buying fresh veg at the end of the drive in a honor pay box. Dirt still on. 🙂
Wow! Thank you so much for being here! I will definitely check out the Our Small Footprint channel! I love learning about how everyone else does things. ☺️
I prefer a waxy potato such as red or white for canning instead of a starchy potato such as russet. Less cloudy in the jar and seem to hold up better in the canning process.
Your videos are so helpful because we have only ordered from Azure twice now and are still learning about their products. I’d love to see your potato soup recipe with ranch seasoning. I watched another haul where you mentioned using Azure’s hash brown potatoes to make potato soup…we just got those potatoes from them and would love that recipe as well!
Azure Food's Big company in Oregon is very lucky to be running the company after it Burnt down. As the community pulled together to build the company enough to get it onto it's feet it's going as no one even understood the company was a loss. Many food processing plants are gone for good if people don't pull together our country will be worse then a depression.
Try making greek meatballs and stuff them w a pinch of feta!! Yummm serve w roasted potatoes and eggplant. You could also make the deta tomato and use as the sauce
Good morning I'm a new subscriber and stumbled on you through this video! I just started using Azure standard 4 months ago and I'm really loving it I wasn't sure about it until I started watching People's videos. With month to month inflation on butter and produce being 42% this month and projected to be that high again next month stalking up and canning is definitely the way to go right now. I look forward to seeing any of your cooking videos on the potatoes as well. Thanks for the share have a good one!
Inflation is a big reason why I stock up! I do love having some food security but I like saving money too! I’m so happy you tried azure! I love it! Recipe videos are in the making!! ☺️ Thank you so much for being here!
Love your channel and watching your hauls! I buy the Nancy’s sour crème in the 6 pack..keep it upside down in the fridge .. last wayyy beyond the date.. don’t know why that works so well but it was a tip I got years and years ago and it makes sour cream and cottage cheese stay so nice for so long. I also don’t understand if you’re going to watch somebody’s RUclips you feel like you can be so critical. It’s a sad thing that has become so common place.
In Germany the apartment fridge was enough to hold possibly 3 days worth of food so living near Aldi helped. Family in America have these ginormous refrigerators filled to the brim.
Oh wow!! It’s crazy how different it is depending where you live. We like to buy in bulk to save money but I don’t know what I would do with a fridge any smaller. Mine is actually a bit smaller than a normal homes fridge too!
We always buy the 6 pack of sour cream and cream cheese. If you use either in baking or soups, you can freeze them and use when you need them. Not really good for using on bagels or cream cheese cake if you freeze. You can take an emersion blender and blend the thawed product to get it creamy again.
I looked at those carrots and thought I wouldn’t be able to eat that many carrots in a year and you said you get 25 lbs a month and that blew my mind !
I do get them often (mainly to can for later so I’m stocked up) I must of misspoke because I would be drowning in carrots if I ordered them every month 🤣🤣 We used canned carrots as an easy side dish a lot. I love pouring them into a pan and add some butter and brown sugar. Yum!!
Hi great video♥️ IF you use all unsalted ingredients for your soup etc. you should have no worries about the ranch ingredient. Where are you from? USA or Canada? I’m in Canada and I wonder about the shipping prices from Azure. Oh, and the parchment you bought you can get the same brand from Costco, it’s really great. Keep up the great videos♥️🇨🇦
Great tip!!! I’ll just have to remember when I’m using it! Ha! I’m in the USA. The closest Costco to me is over an hour. I’ve actually been thinking about a membership though and just going once a month or every other month to stock up!
Thanks for sharing your haul! I love these videos. We switch from pink salt to Redmond salt because the pink salt is mined using slave labor. I know we can't monitor how all of our food is harvested and transported, but that really bothered me. And we went away from typical sea salt because of the micro-plastics.
It is definitely something I need to look into. I might have to look for specific brands that are fair trade. I’m not sure about the Azure brand. Typically, Azure is pretty good about carrying products that are good for us and for the producers of the product. I may have to write azure and ask.
They definitely don’t fit! 🤣 I can a lot of them and I do freeze a few. I keep a bag or two out and use fresh as well. They actually last quite a while in a cool dry place if I don’t have room in the refrigerator.
@@CalveyHomestead that’s a good idea to just get a ton and can them. I canned about 12 pints a few ago I would like to have enough on hand for a year I gotta get on that
@@CalveyHomestead well it’s a public forum. Ur the one seeking public attention for ur videos. The public has a right to comment. U have the right to listen or not. Now u know what bothers some of ur wanted audience. Tweak ur form of communication or not. U do u.

Their cocoa for baking is AMAZING!
Yes!! It is my favorite! I buy it 5 pounds at a time! 😳
Nice haul!
Thank you! ☺️

Great video!!!
I wish we had something like Azure here in Brazil! It sounds awesome to have access to so many organic options, super cool!
Thank you! I wish it was available to everyone! Do you have many organic options in your grocery store?
Try making greek meatballs and stuff them w a pinch of feta!! Yummm serve w roasted potatoes and eggplant. You could also make the deta tomato and use as the sauce
Oh yes!!!!!!!! That sounds amazing!
Feta geese for freezes really well so don’t worry I found you have to freeze it♥️
Thank you!! ☺️
Azure has just the buttermilk powder, you could buy that and then add your seasonings so it wasn't so salty
That’s actually a really good idea!
Great tip to put things on sale in your future carts! I’ve never thought of that before!
You can do it for up to 3 months!!!

Im picking up my very first order from Azure tomorrow! Im excited to start shopping more through them.
Yay!!!!! How was it??
We always buy the 6 pack of sour cream and cream cheese. If you use either in baking or soups, you can freeze them and use when you need them. Not really good for using on bagels or cream cheese cake if you freeze. You can take an emersion blender and blend the thawed product to get it creamy again.
I might have to do that then! I would love to take advantage of the savings by buying the six pack. Thank you!!
This is my first time hearing about it, I personally go to Restaurant Depot when possible.
I wish! I don’t have one by me! 🥺
I looked at those carrots and thought I wouldn’t be able to eat that many carrots in a year and you said you get 25 lbs a month and that blew my mind !

Pink Himalayan salt Also typically has lead.
From what I have read, this is true in certain brands of salt.

Hello beautiful 😘
How are you doing today?
Considering azure. Wish you could’ve shared the price you paid but thankful you shared what you like. 👍🏻👍🏻
I’ll try to do that on a future video! ☺️
@@CalveyHomestead awesome! Thanks hun 👍🏻👍🏻
😃. Wow! New here.
Welcome!! Thank you for being here! ☺️☺️
Don't be skimpy with the garlic!! It should be a picket sign for real 🤣
I love garlic! Probably too much! I didn’t want to run out! 🤣🤣
I order my red man salt directly from red man website.
I will have to check pricing from their website! Thank you!
How much does a haul like that cost?
Do you have the prices posted anywhere?
I do not. I’m sorry! They are all on the website if you were looking at a particular item.
You’re so pretty
😍
but the people mining the pink are so mistreated
It is definitely something I need to look into. I might have to look for specific brands that are fair trade. I’m not sure about the Azure brand. Typically, Azure is pretty good about carrying products that are good for us and for the producers of the product. I may have to write azure and ask.
How can you fit that many carrots in your fridge ? Lol
They definitely don’t fit! 🤣 I can a lot of them and I do freeze a few. I keep a bag or two out and use fresh as well. They actually last quite a while in a cool dry place if I don’t have room in the refrigerator.
@@CalveyHomestead that’s a good idea to just get a ton and can them. I canned about 12 pints a few ago I would like to have enough on hand for a year I gotta get on that
Yes!! Having canned carrots is SO convenient!!! I love it!
Cant stay with all the smacking.
Commenting on someone’s video, just to let them know you can’t stand the way they talk, is in fact, rude. 🤷🏻♀️
Sending positive vibes your way…
@@CalveyHomestead well it’s a public forum. Ur the one seeking public attention for ur videos. The public has a right to comment. U have the right to listen or not. Now u know what bothers some of ur wanted audience. Tweak ur form of communication or not. U do u.
You’re right, I do. I think I will stay myself though! ☺️
Ah well, at least you know you’ll have one less critic to comment on future vlogs…

Nice haul, but a lot of extra talking
I really like to explain how we use the items from our haul. It helps give others ideas on how they might use something in a new way.
That's usually part of hauls. Explaining why you bought stuff and what you do with it..
She makes it really interesting and engaging.
It helped me a lot since I haven’t officially ordered yet from Azure. It’s nice to see how people use what and how they preserve or store it.
You could split and share with friends and family if you don't have the room. Just a thought. 😁
