which breed is your dog
@@dhruvharia9766 Great Pyrenees - love the breed!
What kinda jacket are you wearing?
@@LittleMountainRanch hey, I wanted to buy my mom the jacket that you have for Christmas, what is the brand name of the jacket? It looks canadian
I've been canning on my own for 42 years now. Have pretty much canned everything through the years. I learned from my mom and gram. I have a saying when opening my jars. If when I open them, if I dont hear it suck. I chuck. Short and sweet to remember.
Love that!
Would definitely love to see a roots hour and freezer video. I'm learning so much just watching your videos.
I’m so glad! Thank you.
Ditto
I would love to see a root cellar and freezer tour. I’d also love to see some meal videos showing the meals you cook from your stored food. Also maybe a video on seed saving. Is there anything you need to do besides gathering and winnowing. Any specific storage requirements?
Awesome! Lots of good video fodder there!😊
Wax beans are always softer than green beans. I have been canning for over thirty years. I plant Jade green beans and pick them on the younger side. They are high producers , taste very good and stay firm. Cherokee wax beans are heirloom and the advantage for them is that they can be left to grow and harvested as a pinto type bean. Also the Cherokee wax bean that has been allowed to grow into a bean can be saved and insures your next crop.
I didn’t know that - thank you so much!
Hi Chelsea and friends! Yes, to freezer and root cellar tours, I always learn something new. My 2 cents on the gamma lids for buckets... I started out buying gamma lids for my buckets, in the Dallas Texas area the regular lids are $2 the gamma lids are $8 and the food safe (food safe is important) buckets are $3. Unless you are getting in to the buckets frequently, it isn't worth investing in the gamma lids. The bucket lid opener is less than $4 for the plastic one and $10 for the metal one that also has a hammer side for popping the lid back on and don't have to have a mallet. I found the opener tool on amazon, can't find it in stores, and the buckets and both types of lids at my local farm store. Your kids will be able to use the tool too, it's really easy. Thanks for sharing, you have inspired me to organize my pantry better and to preserve foods in different ways. You say thanks for joining you, I say thanks for the work you put in to share with us! edited to add: I use bay leaves to repel pests in my food storage and food safe diatomaceous earth in my buckets to kill pests that hitched a ride in. I started using d.e. after a whole tub of pasta and beans was infested enough that I couldn't eat it. I'm not squeamish either, I'll pick out a bug or two. Homesteading Family sprinkles a layer of d.e. directly on to the food, but I leave mine foods in the bags, sprinkle a light layer on the bottom of the bucket, fill the bucket with food in the original bags, then another sprinkled layer of d.e. over the top. Mary's Nest cautioned me to be careful with d.e. because it can irritate lungs, so that's something to think about too.
All such wonderful advice! Thank you so much my friend.❤️
I don’t like canned green beans but I found this recipe in a John Wayne cook book and I love it. Broil onions and 3tbs butter until they get nice and caramelized. While those are cooking, put your quart of drained green beans in a pot with chicken broth. Let it simmer so that the chicken broth reduces to be fairly concentrated. Add a quarter cup of sugar and about a quarter cup of vinegar. Mix in your onions and butter and enjoy. All those measurements are estimates by the way, I don’t measure.
Yes the root cellar, it’s cool. Great show
11 kids!!!!
I have 7 + 1 in heaven.
U look so young.
Yeah, I don't believe it!
Soooooooooo impressive Chelsea!!!!!! Your own shop at home. You have been working so hard!!!!
I used to can corn but not anymore. The lengthly processing time takes away the flavor. I blanch the corn on the cob, cut it off, let it dry, then seal it in bags for the freezer. Cooking it is easy. 10 minutes in boiling water with a tsp of sugar. When it is done, drain it and add butter salt and pepper. It tastes like it just came off the cob. I am a master gardener and I also love to dehydrate food. I am presently learning more about fermentation. I have been canning potatoes for a few years and I was also surprised at how good they are. I really am excited about canning pickled coleslaw!! I have raised 6 kids we live on a fam, dairy for over a hundred years but now we have beef. I love seeing what you are doing.
Love that tip, thank you!
Wow, I didn't know about storing onions and potatoes together! Now I understand why my potatoes won't keep longer in the fridge!! Love the new cellar and storage! Wow that's a ton of food, but then you're feeding a small army! Smiles and blessings...
Yes to root cellar and freezer tours!
We're in the end of times. Earthquakes might happen in places where they don't normally. Be ready for anything because the last thing you want is to lose your food. Your pantry is beautiful and so well stocked that I can see all of the hours of work put into them. Great job!
They all do it that way and it does make me nervous. No one seems to put a safety barrier in front of the glass. U r right,vwe are at the endtime and earthquakes will happen. I even put something between the jars, so that they do not knock against each others.
Fun artsy idea for your kiddos....have them make you envelopes for your saved seeds. Its fun to have their drawings and envelopes help keep seeds dry.
Love this!
I love watching your videos even though I'm too old to restart I think your show is so uplifting and it gives a lot of people a lot of ideas on what they need to be doing thank you
looks great Chelsea!!!! You have been busy! A lot of work, but well worth it. I take it from the storage of cabbage in the house that you are not using the root cellar as much. I saw someone else did that coleslaw and it is very intriguing....will have to find the recipe. Love the new pantry and really like Dan's idea using the chalk board paint!
I didn’t want to risk losing the cabbage like I did last year. I still have the carrots, beets, turnips and potatoes in the root cellar.
@@LittleMountainRanch Makes sense. My cabbage, nor my garden, did great...my fault partially. But I did buy some cabbage for refrigerator coleslaw, and kraut - the kraut I did something wrong, but the 3 heads for sour cabbage heads are working nicely. I was going to mention too that I have one spaghetti squash from last year yet an it still tastes fine. Amazed at how this years are actually ripening from green/light yellow. Hope all is well.
Very nice pantry Chelsea...
Thank you 😊
Another interesting video tour😁👏🏼👏🏼 we sure enjoyed watching it. It helped for us to visit you now as we see how your progress has grown in developing more garden space. Wonderful content and we learn everyone we watch you. Love from the Phantom and auntie Tracy! Take care and hi to all the kids and Dan as well.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Always love your pantry tours
Thank you, friend.❤️
Great that you have the pantries and root celler, very useful! Thanks for sharing!
I always like watching ur pantry videos
Reminds me of my growing up home in PA with farms and root cellars, house cellars etc. my Gram made catsup and wines and relishes etc in addition to produce. She had a smokehouse and a dairy and flowers too! She loved flowers. I inherited her wood cookstove which is broken beyond repair but I planted lilacs and irises by it, to remember her. I have a wren nest box by this area to remember my other Grandma. See all the memories you’re creating for your little ones?!
I use those big sauce bottles when I'm making pancakes, fast, easy and less messy. Just fill with wet pancake mix and go
Great idea!
I see a lot of glass jars that are unprotected.... Any natural disaster can throw them to the floor. I think it will be wise to put some rails or wood piece to secure them
Thanks for showing us giving me a lot of ideas for my small house floor plan large walk in pantry is a must lol thank you
I love the new pantry space. It's so beautiful. And so many jars! Amazing work, my friend. And I would also love to see freezer, medical supplies, and root cellar tours. Stay excellent friends.
Thank you so much sweet friend.❤️
Yes, would like to see more on root cellar and freezer videos. I’m learning and starting to can, freeze and bulk store items.
Wow you did allot of canning and nice shelving looks great! And I didn't now bachelor's button were edible. I tried luffas once but didn't make it to the finish line, maybe I'll try again next season. 💚 Thanks for sharing I alway enjoy your videos!
I just noticed my favorite tea on your shelf! Chai spice STASH brand! I don’t drink coffee..I don’t drink hot chocolate, no soda or fruit juices! I live on chai spice! It keeps me from caving in to sugar cravings! Delicious!
So GLAD you say "pop" too. We are in Illinois and our relatives down south and west make fun of us:/
im in georgia but i come from up north and when i ask where the pop is, they think im saying pot lol
That’s thanks to my mom!!😄
If course, she’s Canadian. ;)
I spent the entire day watching your videos. Amazing how much your family worked and developed these last few years and I learned a lot, thank you!
Have you thought about making a canning vlog series? I know you have yome videos about it, but it would be interesting to see how do you do it during harvest time. How do you prepare and process all the produce and meat for canning.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you’re enjoy my videos. Yes, I have thought about doing that - the challenge every year is it’s the busiest time here and I can never seem to get myself together to pull it off. I’ll say it here and now, next year will be the year!!😁
@@LittleMountainRanch Perfect! I I'm looking forward to it :)
Wow!! Thank you for the tour!!
I have been waiting for this one. This helps me plan for my root cellar. Thank you for these videos.
Love ❤️ your pantry!very organized. Your blessed.
Love this thankyou
Yes please to medical freezer and roots tour if poss. basically the more of these tours the better
You got it!
I get food grade buckets with lid from the bakeries and delis. They are usually free but sometimes charge $1
You had me at cheese fridge ;) what a beautiful pantry. Thank you!
Love these videos! I don't mean to be 'that person', but just so you're aware, medicinal herbs don't retain as much of their quality in a dehydrator. It takes about two weeks for the oils in most herbs to break down properly to release those properties and they aren't able to do so in the dehydrating process. Again, I don't mean to be a hater, I love the video, but they will be significantly more potent if naturally dried. I strongly recommend Foraging Texas for more info on this, but there are other resources as well!
No worries, I appreciate advice and constructive criticism as long as it’s kind, which yours was. Thank you.
Such a great pantry! Always interested in seeing the root cellar and freezers! A diversified pantry has been our focus all summer!
First off, you've had 11 kids?!? Wow 🤯😍 second the book i started with was Rosemary Gladstar's Medicinal Herbs: A Beginners Guide. I also have Bushcraft First Aid by Dave Canterbury that I use as a additional source. Currently I have Dried: Yarrow, Peppermint, Oregano, Rosemary, Calendula, Chamomile, Ginger, Danddelion Roots, Tumeric, Basil, Parsley. Seeds for this coming spring i have Common Plantain, Thyme, Sage, Lavender, Marigold, Echinacea, & Basil so far. I personally use a mortar & pestle but its only enough herbs for myself & my elderly mother. I also only am able to have a standing flower bed thats roughly 4'×2'. I have to be picky on what I grow, harvest from the land and buy. We also have a small 2 bedroom duplex on the edge of a smallish town. Where I grew up my mom had a acre garden for food & flowers, we lived in a town of 94 from 1991-1998. In 98' we moved a couple miles outside of town on my grandmas homestead, she needed the help and her health was dwindling rapidly. Her "farm" was about 7 acres. There was a Christmas Tree Farm for more than half of it, a small Black Walnut Grove & a small Apple Orchard. My grandpa planted all the apple trees in 1971 when they bought the property. We had folks coming from all over the state every summer for cider, apples, & pie. Then those same folks came back every winter for a Christmas Tree, Wreath, Flower Arrangements, and homemade hot chocolate & peppernuts (hard cinnamon dough balls about the size of a dime). Grandma canned vegs, fruits and anything she could to make things last. We always had spare kerosene, toilet paper, board games, canned goods, and everything else to last us a minimal of 3 months. We had some really harsh winters here in Nebraska, the cellar & then basement would flood every spring. We had a creek that ran through the property. Grandma bought me a break action 410 when I was about 8 or 9. My dog Oreo (1/2 Cocker Spaniel, 1/4 black lab & 1/4 Dalmatian) & I would be out huntin for rabbits & squirrels when id get off the bus. Sorry for going so far into detail... lookin back on those few memories I have (was in a car accident and have memory loss) of my grandma raising us while my mom worked is one of the reasons I "prep" now. If you & the husband are every in central nebraska, yall are welcome here :)
That should last you at least until spring, eh?
That tool for your buckets can usually be found at your local hardware store, possibly in the paint section (that’s where Home Depot also keeps their gamma lids). Or you can order it online. Prices usually are below $10
Gamma lids usually cost more then a bucket and standard lid together, but it’s well worth it. ULine is a company these items can be ordered from in bulk. You may have a similar company in Canada.
Coming from the restaurant industry, I’m more than willing to spend money on professional quality food storage solutions. It’s a long term investment.
We never store anything directly on the ground, even cleaning products. At a minimum I’d put done 2x4 lumber on the floor to put boxes in top.
Anyway, was lovely seeing you again :)
Hey there! Hope all is going well for you.
Thanks for the tips!!
Gotta say this is a great video and very informative even for a seasoned prepper like myself . We can all learn from you .thank you
Thank you so much!
I miss seeing your videos
Just discovered your channel. A lot of great info. Love my gamma lids. I am from Canada but live in the usa. U have my dream pantry. We r moving from florida to South Carolina and I can’t wait to turn part of my basement into a root cellar. New to canning and hoping to start gardening next yr. thank you for all your great info
Welcome!!😊
I love pantry tours, there could never be enough pantry tours 😆 I’d definitely love to see your freezer and root cellar this year. Building a cold pantry in the basement is on my to do list, love your herbal center, I need one of those! 😍
Also, I pretty much have a blank slate in the basement and it is walk out which is nice. I’m planning a walk in cooler and a cold pantry. If you could would you just have all your pantry in one bigger room? Or do you like having multiple smaller spaces.
Love having it in smaller spaces. I find it’s less overwhelming and easier to keep organized.
I would like to see a freezer video, medical video, and root cellar! All would be helpful in my planning :)
I loved this video. I would like to see a root cellar, freezer and medical supply video. Thank you for such a great tour.
I saved this video specifically for today, because I knew it would be full of love and joy. Exactly what I needed today ❤️❤️❤️ what a treasure you are.
Awesome job and a great pantry to boot. Nice work 👍
There were eight of us in my family. My granma was a whiz at canning and food storage! I know the time/work invested here! Your kids will carry these memories for a life time! 😬👍
I love seeing pantries and getting inspired by your videos. Yes...I would love to see more storage of your freezer and such. I have admired the way you raise your children. You have a heart of gold !!! Where do you get all of your energy ? Safe hugs from a 72 year old grandma from Vermont.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I do have a lot of energy, but the older I get the better I get at balancing my energy outputs with lots of rest. Enter, the afternoon nap, which is a life saver for me.😊
Oooh! Freezer Tour, yes!!
Yay, I've missed your videos! So excited to see your pantry, as I've started to really get into preservation this year!
Howdy folks. We're new to the channel. Really enjoying everything. Very encouraged. Nice pantry!!!
Welcome! Glad to have you along.😊
Your pantries are so amazing! You sure do keep busy 💜
Wonderful work, excellent
But you might want to think about this ,
There are earthquake prediction for future . I wrap all my jars with bubble wrap to prevent from breaking and put in toats to also prevent from falling off shelf, just in case of a earthquake.
I pray it will never happen.
I love seeing a well stocked pantry! I too grew up in a canning family, even most of my extended family canned as well. We can every year, nearly year round, to help it go quicker we have two pressure canners, one we've had for 30+ years and it's still going strong. In fact I'll have both of them running tomorrow since we found beef on sale. Dehydrating is another great way to store food, it takes up so much less space and lasts longer, but nothing beats those instant meals canning provides. Yukon chief is a good corn variety for cooler climates.
So exciting! I've been looking forward to this!
you may want to switch your cheese fridge to the other side of the floor (behind the door) so you can get at those jars that are behind and by it! you may also want to get moving shelfs (shelfs on wheels) or a cart!
Excellent job preserving your harvest and preparing your extended pantry! Ok here's my latest use on the pickled coleslaw. Drain, and caramelize in sesame oil. Use as a delicious topping on asian dishes. Just served over korean beef tacos and do yummy
Sounds so good!
sick! im youngest of 11 kids! we where all homeschooled and we grew up in a farmhouse on a big property and my dad worked a mile down the road at a historical far!! we buy stuff in bulk too, we can as well! love seeing other family like ours!
Welcome!
I am so very, very impressed - with both all the hard work you have done in creating and organizing these spaces, and the work that went into growing and preserving so much! I do have a question though - how did you learn how to do this all, and on such a scale? Was it just a really steep learning curve, or did your families also do this as you were growing up?
It was a long and slow process over the past 20 years. I learned to can when I was a kid, from my mom, but everything else I learned from books and youtube. Some things were harder to learn than others, but after awhile the knowledge compounds and it all gets easier. Stick with it, you’ll get there!❤️
Would love to see a freezer and root cellar tour!!
So glad you are back...can see how busy you have been! Pantry is wonderful. Love the "pop" reference. People look at me funny when I say it!
You have everything in here!
My pantry is sooo different. I do not know half these foods. Funny on how different our tastes. I think the only thing we have in common is tomatoes, honey, green beans, carrots, acv, vinegar and coconut milk. Most of my pantry is dried herbs, dried vegetables, grains and dry legumes. We eat a lot of oatmeal, rice with beans and bean/lentil soups. Million ways to make lentils and beans 😝.
in regards to the mushy beans: Are you cold packing those, I cold pack mine and add lightly salted water. Then pressure can for 20 min. I did not have any issues...
You should also add stinging nettle. It's really really good for you and works wonderfully in teas and can even be used in cooking.
Sooooany wonder ideas for my storage areas that I'm building...thank you!!! Do you have an off grid kitchen? If so, I'd love to see how you organize it!! 💖💖💖 Again, thank you!!
New to your channel, I am truly inspired ... Outstanding work. Bravo.
Thank you so much!
Yes can you tell us how to get The book Homestead Herbs companion and Do more videos on your canning and your TEA
~~~ Just a wonderful pantry. I am so happy for your family. GOD'S JOY and I have your family on my daily prayer list......🙏.....❤...
That means so much to me, thank you.😊
Hi C, I really enjoy yr videos for I learn many small but useful details and tricky things, I am going to establish a homestead in the heart of Romania with the same zone number as yours, so definitely I apply your most of the rules . thanks 🙂
Yes. Definitely label. So your husband and kids know what's what. I put my saved seeds in the freezer. It makes them think it's wintertime and they go dormant.
Great tip! Thank you.
When you get good at labeling, you could run your dried herbs through the meat grinder to turn them to powder and save space.
For sure! Great idea.
6:46 jaw hits floor .. Droollll droooll :-D Awesome!! Sooo nice. :-)
😄Dan did an amazing job!
You’re amazing! So well prepared! I love that you have allowed God to bless you with lots of kids!!!
Freezer tour would be lovely
Great to see a homesteading channel from Canada! We live in Ontario....and will be starting our own farmstead/homesteading channel. New subscriber here!
Welcome!!
@@LittleMountainRanch thank you
Good morning from Texas! 🤠🇺🇸
Good Morning, Texas!😊
I would love to see a video on your medical supplies. I also plan to order the book on herbs. Melissa is Alabama
Great tour, Chelsea! You are really stocked up, but I guess it’s convenient when you have such a large family to have more on hand. It was so nice to see you again!
Yes on the other tours! I always pick up great tips and ideas from you! looking forward to more.
WOW! What wonderful upgrades to your pantries! Your storage seems _huge_ compared to the first year's video! I love the wide, deep shelves!
Labelling schmabelling! I think you and your sous-chef(s) will learn more by _not_ labelling everything because you will use your senses to identify them. However, I adore the idea of chalkboard paint on the safety rails! So clever!
I *_love_* hearing you say, "so-and-so loves _x,_ so I made/bought alot of it" (especially when so-and-so is Dan). What a wonderfully loving, generous, and kind thing to do. More of _that,_ please.
Have you tried fermenting your green beans? They'll stay crunchy, it's easy to ferment them, and they are super nutritious & delicious. Look up "lacto-fermented dilly beans" Lacto fermentation works with most vegetables, too. I think the root cellar or the cold pantry are the places to store fermented foods.
This was such a wonderful video, Chelsea! (Especially appreciated for _this_ year.) Thank you!
(Of course we want freezer and root cellar tours. :) )
The cider orchard I planted 4 years ago is beginning to produce; I got decent crops from half of the 8 trees. Homemade apple cider vinegar, appe wine and apple cider! It was also a good year for quince, raspberries and (some of) the strawberries. One of my currant bushes also bore fruit for the first time ever, but sawfly larva got the others. The deer are munching on my peaches, the best strawberries and the Cornelian cherries, though.
Hey there, my dear youtube friend! Glad to hear things are going well for you. I had sawflies for the first time this year. I think I pulled over 50 caterpillars off of one plant. Gross!
Well organized. A work station is a great feature to include. Thank you for sharing.
Yes please another freezer tour and root cellar tour would be great.
you can ofcourse come up with an Alpha numeric code for all your foods in your pantry (i.e. Mint MIN101, Crushed/powdered mint MINPWD102, if its wet..then WETMIN103 ) ofcourse you'd have to write down the label with the explination so anyone can understand it..then simply label the jar and you'd be done.
Questions: 1. do you or plan to make candles or scented candles?
2. do you keep or make any soap tissue tablets.. would be nice to have those itsybitsy that you can use to clean wash your hands n face with adding 3 tablespoons of water to the tablet and just rinse?
Regards from Singapore.
Your hard work has definitely paid off Chelsea! It looks great and I bet it feels amazing to have so much food (especially so much homegrown food!) put by. Thanks for sharing ❤️
Me to I want to learn more about more medicinal herbs and medicine
Chalkboard paint!!! Great idea!!!! I want a pantry like your glorious one!!! 😃 Kristy 😊
I went through the deep storage last month. Sent 25 gallons of peanut oil and 5 gallons of olive oil to be recycled into biodiesel. Even in controlled storage, it goes rancid over time.
This was so interesting. I am thinking bout making teas this year and dehydrating some things. It just sounds so nice. And I saved some seeds this year or rather last year. We'll see if I did it right. I look forward to seeing your seed saving series. Your pantry is absolutely beautiful. It is just beautiful...definitely Pinterest Perfect. I love relish. I'll have to make some of that this year. I didn't get any basil...couldn't find it to plant. I'm going to look out for it earlier this year. Nice video. Thank you.
You have everythiiiiing! Impressive and beautiful pantry! ✨ ✨
Your pantry is beautiful and I love that you're doing cheese!! I really like that you have your herbs on shallower-depth shelves-makes sense. Great working station, too! Smart canning up the leftover brine for marinade. I've had to end up throwing mine away :(.. Did you have any trouble getting more jars?
Luckily, no. I scoured Facebook marketplace and bought many that way, plus a pretty good stash from the last few years.
@@LittleMountainRanch wonderful!
Wow your pantry is beautiful! And even more so with all the colorful and yummy looking canning!!
Love the tour Chelsea! Yes to root cellar and freezer tours!💕
Done!😊
I love your pantry. May I get it for Christmas. :)
Love your pantry and the enormous selection of canned and fresh goods and it’s beautifully organised too ...... my idea of food heaven.
I love the cheese cave with homemade cheeses💥What a great pantry. Yes to freezer and root cellar tours.
