Just a quick safety tip on canning, if you keep the rims on, if the seals fail, the pressure from the rims could cause the lids to reseal and you wouldn’t know that the food is contaminated. You might just have them on loosely, which would prevent that problem, but I just wanted to say it just in case. Botulism is no fun, so I just double check that ppl know the safety stuff. ❤️

A lot of the produce in grocery stores is harvested before it is ripe and is treated with ethylene gas when it gets to the grocery store to induce ripening. Ethylene is a naturally occurring hormone in plants that ripens fruits and vegetables over time; however, when it is applied artificially to unripened fruit, the fruit goes into overproduction of ethylene and the ripening process is sped up to the point where fruit and vegetables spoil months before they would have if they were harvested and stored as intended.

@tdl487

As someone who works in a grocery store, I strongly advise everyone to please wash ALL of your produce before consumption. Not just because of toxins that were sprayed on them for protection from pesticides and to speed up maturity but because a lot of produce that has to travel longer distances tends to also be massed stored in warehouses till it gets shipped out! Dust and other microscopic materials can settle on them due to the long wait.

How did you store or preserve the deer and elk?

@ann40069

@@obsidiansea The Deer and Elk would be skinned and clean of internal organs..then hung to dry age in the cool room in the garage. Then it would cut up, wrapped in plastic and butcher paper, and put in the freezer. We would grind the some of the meat with suet to make deer and elk burger for the freezer. We made sausages,jerky.. Grandma would also brine and can the meat as well...

At IKEA, they have those huge IKEA 365+ Boxes with a silicone ring around the edge. I use them to store my 2.5kg sacks of flour and all the other dry goods, so nothing can get in there 😊 just a tip if you don't have a room that can be made completely pest-free and also helpful to stop a pest which was probably already in the goods when you bought them, because they won't come out of the box and can't get to your other items

This is really something to be proud of!! WOW 🤩

"Boozy drinks" started as a way to have a long lasting (storage) drink before the time of refrigeration. The Central Nervous System influence was a secondary effect.

We are so dependant on stores for everything. Its a matter of time when food supply will be rationed.

My family and I make a foraged elderflower cordial every year! It's so good! I love how real this tour is, and how tasty everything looks.

Have you ever done a video on how you created that gorgeous root cellar? I would love to know how to recreate that space.❤️

I’m also trying to understand how to root cellar. I have a “crawl” space under my house deep enough to stand up in easily so I could build a root cellar there, but other than cooling it with electricity, I don’t know what to do. It seems silly to use electricity, since that sorta defeats the safety and resiliency aspects. Please teach more on decisions and planning for low-energy-use food storage. Thank you.

Same... trust in Jesus. I like Matthew 6 about how we shouldn’t worry because God knows our needs...to seek the Kingdom. Psalm 37:25”I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.” However, famine is coming. We are in the end times and this coming vaccine is the mark of the beast. It’ll be a quantum dot dissolving vaccine patch for the hand. We won’t be able to buy and sell without it. A great relationship with the Holy Spirit, being reborn, hearing His voice and leading and really knowing the Bible will be more valuable than anything.

😍😍😍😍 sooo beautiful! Please do one every year! I moved into my homestead last year and this year had a big garden and have canned and frozen a ton of food. I’ve done some ferments, but I don’t have the refrigerator space. I definitely plan to build a walk in cooler like yours though and a cold pantry in the basement for my canned goods. I did manage to can nearly 200 jars of food this year, so I’m excited about that and I still have apples to do and the last push from the garden. I love growing my food!

Andrea Bellato well I did suburban homesteading for 7 years, I did some canning but not on this scale, a garden but just for fresh eating, and chickens on 1/10 acre. Now we have 23 acres, sheep, pigs, lots of chickens, turkeys, and 1/4 acre vegetable garden, so the scale is just a lot bigger.

Andrea Bellato There’s a learning curve 😂, but really we have about 8 acres in pasture and yard around the house and the rest is woods. But I was just outside in the dark stacking hay because it’s going to rain and I had to get it protected. And the woman that was going to buy my hay backed out and so now I have too much for my sheep so we’re talking about adding a couple of steers since most people are offloading animals because hays expensive. It’s lots of daily decisions like that. Keeping up with processing the produce has been a challenge for sure. And I just found out I should get my sheep sheared in the fall, my breeder told me just the spring, but now I’m finding out the wool could mat and be unusable. It’s sort of like juggling, with lots of balls in the air, but I’m having a blast. I’m doublecloverfarm on Instagram if you want to see more ☺️

I made sloe gin this year, the great thing about it is once you've made the sloe gin, you can re-use the sloes and make sloe port as well by just adding a red wine and some sugar! And THEN when you're done you can stew down the fruit to make a boozy jam/preserve :)

A root cellar- on my list SOON!!

Hey, I don't know if you'll ever read this message, but I wanted to give you an idea regarding cheese. In Romania we make white cheese which doesn't need such a long processing time and the humidity it's not important at all.In Turkey and Greece they make similar ones. The difference is that the cheese is preserved in rye or salted water and it can be eaten when is one day old or several months. Make a small research, I'm sure you'll find something.

@boghiutza

It looks like feta, yes, but there are so many types depending on the milk, as you also said about the summer milk or winter one. We make out of goat, sheep and cow milk, each of them having a distinctive taste. Turks even have different names for each type of cheese depending on the consistency, so probably they really have strict processing techniques. In Romania people still make their own cheese in the village so it really differs from one household to another. We call it "brânză" if you want to google it to have an idea about how it looks like.

Hi Shay, as we are in Australia I'm really keen to know the temperature of your pantry and cold room. I think in most cases we'd need a lot more insulation to keep cool here, but something to aim for would be good to know as its not standard practice here. I have plans for these to be built into our new home. Love your videos, very inspiring.
