Hey y'all, I'm Meagan. My husband Andy and I grew up in rural NC and as newlyweds, decided we wanted something more than the typical American lifestyle. So we started growing our own food, I learned to can and so started this passion of food preservation and knowing where our food comes from.
Even though we grew up around this lifestyle, we still had to learn for ourselves, the ways of our ancestors before us. We now grow a huge portion of our food, including our own meat.
High society and MSM want you to think you don't have time to grow, preserve and cook your own food from scratch, but I am here to help you along the way. As a working mother of 2 on a busy little farm, there is time, we just have to prioritize it.
Through my weekly videos, I'll show you how to prepare easy meals cooked from scratch, tips on preserving your garden harvest and the occasional farm video. Live life on YOUR terms

What a blessing to have a root cellar and beautiful, hand milled and built shelving! Just awesome!
This warms my heart seeing a man that can make stuff my granddaddy was a carpenter. Yah megan got u some shelves.
i remember going to my grandma and grandpa's farm, in the early 70's, and they actually had a root cellar built into their basement, which for the most part was an exact duplicate of the upstairs, as they basically moved into the basement suite to beat the hot saskatchewan summers. anyway, i remember one of my coolest memories was when grandma needed potatoes for supper, and me and my two sisters (mostly me) would race down into the root cellar and pull potatoes out of the dirt. i wasn't a farm kid, but we spent all our summers on the farm, from 0-18, on my relatives farms. great times and memories, and i participated in much of what you present here on your channel. your son and daughter were me and my sisters, 50 years ago. your children are blessed. and that you home school them, even more so.
You are a beautiful woman inside and out. Godbless your family
You have the perfect space to store food!

You are so blessed to have a root cellar! With the humidity, do your lids ever rust?

I have some rust occasionally, usually my lids will last about 3 years, then they really show their age. If they start having a ton of rust on them what ever is in the jar becomes pig food. I am trying to get better about keeping inventory on my stuff so I'm rotating through at least every other year! Thanks for watching!
I've been looking forward to hear how you both updated the basement. I think the shelves with the worm holes in them fits the history of the house, wood from your land. The looks match the whole picture. They look like they have been there where they belong, being useful for the family. So very nice, hand crafted, it could not look any nicer guys. Enjoy!
❤Andy did a great job! Will make your life easier! ❤
Y'all got it made!
We just organized our "pantry" this weekend. Wow! What a chore. We don't really have root cellars in eastern Oklahoma because they tend to become wading pools. The shelves look great and you're right home canned food weight DOES add up fast.
Andy did a great job on the shelves. You look so happy ❤
Awesome job Andy! Happy wife happy life.

Beautiful job!❤ Is that orbs in the video or dust? Cellars and basements are so creepy. 😂
Our root cellar is under an out building and is concrete but is too wet to store roots so I built shelves from store bought lumber over 20 year ago. It doesn't look as good as your shelves but so far they are holding up. The original ones had been eaten by termites so I had to use treated wood. This year I filled up all the pints and had to buy more, never thought I would ever have to do that, I still have some for hopefully canning some deer but the cellar is full. I have the roots in the cellar under the house like you do, Lookin good!

Haha! This was dug before the house was built, door was originally outside, but the house was added on to in the 50's then in the 70's and now the door is inside the house. Thanks for watching!
Your cellar looks just like mine, I have mine stocked to the max. It makes you feel good to have so much goodies stored away. Good job girl!!

That's great . Wonderful job. Every woman's dreams a pantry. Aren't we suck a high $ expensive wife. You go I almost got a fever how could I hand dig under a room without hitting the septic line 🤣🤣🤣. Really appreciate it. Great video especially Andy and his God given talent his own wood and cut and dried. God's blessings keep it going. So happy for you it's the little things that tickles us. ❤️🙏

Great job. We live on SW Florida and can't have anything under ground. The eater table is to high.
Is that dirt around the sides?
Do you have water and bedding down there as well?
@TrueGritAppalachianWays

We do have water, but no bedding. This is more of a storage cellar than anything. I wouldn’t hesitate to throw down a blanket and sleep if it came down to it tho!
Are you gonna put a backstop to keep from pushin' thru?
@TrueGritAppalachianWays
Жыл бұрын
We decided to leave it open for now because of where the light is positioned, it would be blocked if the shelf had a back. Fingers crossed I won't push any through, ha! Thanks for watching!
