Alaska Harvest Time & Back to School Celebration! HONEY & TONS of Raspberries 

Another great an educational video. Wow blessed with so many, vegetables, raspberries, and honey. Fruit leather looks amazing. Nice to see the kids enjoying everything. Praying 🙏 for you and the twins such and exciting time.

I am so grateful for this vlog. There’s just something special about your vlogs. There’s no drama, there’s no crazy or hype up. It just is. I don’t know if I can adequately express it. It’s a really nice balance of life and teaching and learning. Would J ever do Bee’s no, but I found all the vlogs about your bees fascinating and really learned alot. Such a lot of work for honey. Thank you for sharing.

You should try to heat up the raspberries, add sugar to taste and then pour them over vanilla ice-cream. Top it with whipped cream! So good

You look amazing, Lauren! I’m praying for your beautiful family and those precious twins.

That honey will be amazing, worth the effort. You are looking well Lauren, hope your pregnancy goes well. Praying for healthy babies!! Have a great school year boys!!

Good morning. Loved your video, thank you for sharing all your ideas with your fresh grown raspberries. Looks like you have plenty of honey to last you awhile!! Looks so good!❤ Congratulations again on your pregnancy can't wait to hear what you are having!!!😊😊 so happy for you.❤❤❤

Really nice looking honey! The raspberries were very abundant! Hope that you're feeling well Lauren!

It is never ending for you. What a wonderful, beautiful life!

What a blessing to have more babies in the house. ❤❤ what a special season in your life.

I’m not a huge raspberry fan….but my grandma would make strawberry freezer jam. It was AMAZING!

I only buy real honey. Tastes soooo much better. 😁🙃 Didn’t see Miss Luna 😢. Love seeing and hearing her. 😘🤗

Hi Lauren. I so love raspberries. So expensive here. I think it’s too hot in Australia to grow them successfully. I still can’t believe you’re expecting twins. I’m so so excited for you all. The summer went quick. We’ve had a very cold winter and we are in spring now. We’ve had severe rain and wind here for two days. Even the dog won’t go out. Lol. Freeze drying raspberries is great. I love raspberry jam too. Thanks for your update. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Such a “Sweet” video😉 Love seeing the whole family working together🙏🏼❤️

When this happened to our honey we spoke to the bee society and they said it get solid because it wasn’t filtered well and that some wax had gotten into the honey either from de capping or from filtering. But as you say still tastes ok, but I prefer if when it’s a flowing golden stream. I usually used the set honey in cooking. I have an awesome chicken, ginger and garlic recipe which is truly so tasty I could eat it continuously 😂

Oh my gosh your stair railing is beautiful. Please do a house tour. What does Mark do for a living? This vlog was so interesting. Thank you.

Congratulations 🎉 twins ❤❤

Congratulations on the new twins ❤️praying for everything to go well 😀we also have bee hives and it is a lot of work , and I agree you won’t have time to mess with the livestock 😂as we call it . We do centrifuge ours and strain it and bottle it , it’s a lot of work 😮

Freeze dry or dehydrate raspberries, powder for flavoring to add to cake, pancakes, yogurt, ice cream, etc.

You are blooming in your pregnancy. The raspberries are so plentiful. Just imagine, two more wonderful souls coming to join the family. You all are blessed.🎉

Interesting to see the honey process and of course the berries in different forms.

Hey Lauren! Where did you get that dark blue dress? It’s really nice and modest which is hard to find nowadays.

How far along are you now? This is going to go so fast 👶👶

Great video. Hope you are feeling well. Make sure you rest up. Take care🥰

My grandfather had bees. He had a stroke and the first thing he wanted handled was someone to care for the bees since it was July. He had the most fabulous sourwood honey. I have learned so much about the process from your videoed.

I’ve learned so much from your family, Lauren! Never thought my life would take me into homesteading activities, yet here I am! Learning to provide for your family without being dependable on anyone else has such an amazing feeling! Thanks for all you do!

Mark looks so bummed about the amount of honey from this year.

That was pretty cool to watch what you and your family can make with berries ❤

SOOO many raspberries! Love love love daily Hamm life. Thanks for letting us into your world. Blessings to you all always!

You guys worked really hard for that honey🐝💛🎉

Oh wow what an amazing harvest of honey and raspberries. I love watching how you preserved it all. What do you do with all that honey? I know you said it was a small harvest but it looks huge to me.

Omgoodness y’all honey looks delicious ❤ and Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤

VERY HEART FILLED CONGRATULATIONS ON THE TWINS. I AM WISHIMG YOU A STRONG AND HEALTHY PREGNANCY. ALL THE BEST TO YOU AND MARK. GOD BLESS. PLEASE KEEP US UP TO DATE AS MUCH AS YOU ARE ABLE TOO WITH YOUR PREGANCY. IT'S SO EXCITING.. TWINS, WHAT A SURPRISE..EVEN FOR US🤗🤗🤰❤

I had to chuckle every time one of you said "honey bucket". Growing up in the 60's, a honey bucket did NOT have any honey in it.

Maybe the people you gave your bees to will share some honey with you

Oh my I bet the house smelt amazing all those raspberries. One of my favourite berries, normally so expensive though. I would love a freeze dryer but the price for one in Australia is crazy expensive $8000 plus. Hopefully they will become more affordable in years to come. Definitely not in the household budget in the near future.

I'm loving the videos you post more every time I think. Thank you for sharing bits of your life.

Bennett loves to help with the cooking. I think he would become a chef maybe though. He's very hands-on. It's so enjoyable to watch Evertte help you buy the ingredients from Costco and Garden. This is a beautiful family life. I'm going to watch you making raspberry freeze jam on here. Say happy and healthy Can you put up the recipe for freezer jam, please? Thank you xx On your bees, you said you give them sugar syrup syrup what part of sugar do you leave the bees some of the honey to live off over the winter or is it the sugar syrup so they can make more honey? How do you add syrup? Do you give the bees sugar syrup every day or a couple of days so they can live off that over the winter month? How do you give them the syrup without interface the bees? How did you get the honey onto your trays without spinning them? It's good that you know there's Alaska wild flower and Honey that puts the honey in jars for you. 60 cents a pound is cheap. Sorry for all the questions. I'm Interested Hang on there are you pregnant with twins?? Or did I get it wrong? Have you given away your bees or in the process of doing that.

Looking good I love fresh honey I have a small bucket of firewood honey it is so good and you are looking good lauren have a great day ❤❤❤

I absolutely loved A Small Light, it was so well done. Very sad but a unique angle on a well-known story.

You really know how to make from your harvest of raspberries and honey. Thanks for sharing. Hafa adai and love from the island of Guam 🌴❤🌴

I love that your boys are so willing to help. They will be such good big brothers😃

YUM....raspberries and honey looks awesome. Bennett looks so much like Mark and I love how much he is into food processing. You have an upcoming professional chef in the family.

Honey is beautiful color

thanks for showing us what you do with honey and raspberries...way to store and make it last!

Wonderful,beautiful honey,abundance of raspberrie.Lauren you look amazing.Tell the boys and Mark I said hello.Keeping you and baby's in our prayers.

God' journey is totally Awesome!!!🤣😁😇

I'm glad everything is going well nice to see you're family and videos again stay safe

I don't know if you use all the leaves on your celery but its amazing to put into soups and stews

Good Afternoon Hamm Family ❤️ The temp dropped two degrees (74°F) since my prior video comment (... the End). The thunderstorm is raging all around us, but not so bad over head. We're in the lower foothills, so sometimes the storms split around us by the time they get here. Still, it's wet and a little windy. The creek is rushing along, but no signs that it will even reach overflow 🏞️ Those wafer pencils are simple, yet cute. Moose Stew sounds yummy. I've never eaten moose 🫎 The fellas look handsome in their back to school clothes. Have a great year. They're going to make awesome big brothers 🧒 That's a lot of raspberries... making up for the lack of honey, I guess. Fruit leather looks good. Store-bought leathers are meh, but I hear homemade is best. Bennett has absolutely no regrets 😋 Hey, you've got my popcorn bag sitting in the background... Very yum 🍿 I've made strawberry and peach freezer jam, but never raspberry. Since I'm not the biggest raspberry fan, on their own, I think they'd be good in a mixed berry jam. That is a bountiful amount of jam 🍓 Honey. So yum. I love honey. Haven't found one I don't like. All the colors, consistencies and flavor profiles. It's good to know that 60 cents a pound for honey harvesting is the secret to a happy marriage... LoL. Mark's like a little kid indulging in the honey runoff. A good peanut butter and honey sandwich is delicious, especially if the bread is fresh, lightly toasted, still warm from the oven; or make the PB and honey sandwich, slather outside with butter and grill like a grilled cheese sandwich... Mmmm 🍯 Freeze-dried fruit is great. A lite snack on its own or crush it into or onto oatmeal, yogurt, cobblers, cupcakes, crisps, cookies, waffles or pancakes, toast, ice cream/cookies/cones, a milkshake or smoothie, muffins, etc. Nice to see the fellas so invested in all your foody adventures 🧁 Everett with his glasses reminds me so much of Bry when he was his age, minus Bry's toe-head, white-blonde head of hair... just like his Momma was 🤓 Too bad the honey harvest was slim, but every little bit is a sweet prize. I need to check with my apiary on how their harvest went. Almost time to stock up again. We've had a lot of hot-humid days and a lot of rainy days too. The bees do love the honeysuckle growing out back and the trumpet flowering vine along the house which is a Hummingbird eatery as well. I'm happy to report that Maggie has not eaten a single bee this season. No pathetic swollen snoots nor benadryl hangovers. If you've ever seen a Polar Bear dazed and confused, well, that's Maggie on benadryl... and just as clumsy 🐻‍❄️ Shaker lemonade sounds so delicious and refreshing 🍋 Hmmm, interesting cookies. As long as the flavor is good... happy little accidents 🍪 Oooo, honey... luscious golden deliciousness. The variety and differences in honey are true treasures. Have you ever looked into dissolving labels instead of using a marker or labels that are a pain to remove? They work great 🙂 It's always a blessing to spend time with you and your Family. Have a great weekend. Take care. Yah's Blessings 🤗 P.S.: I'm all caught up... Yay me 😁

My mouth is watering too!🤣 No moose in Florida. 😢 Is that Cabelas freeze dryer a good investment? Now, when is the final raspberry picking? I really enjoyed you explanation the bee hive preservation for the bees. Can’t wait to see the finished product. Can you make raspberry flavored seltzer? Well, I guess I saw the done honey. Lauren, you and Mark make a great team in the kitchen. Thank you. Till next time.

Love the Harvest. God is a wonderful provider!

Hi Lauren, Thank You for Sharing your Incredible Harvest Time, throughly enjoyed every second of it 🥰🥰 🇬🇧

Another amazing vlog. Love learning about the honey and seeing all your uses for rasberries. That dehydrator is awesome!!!! Keep up the great content.Continued prayers for Lauren and babies!!!!!

Fun video, happy to see all of your sweet faces.....thanks for sharing! Many blessings for a healthy pregnancy....excited to see your journey with twins! 💖

Lovely video again, thank you for sharing the recipies. Have a nice weekend and beautiful week. ❤❤❤ greetings from The Netherlands 🇳🇱

Oh my gosh, you sure got a ton of raspberries!! You made so many goodies with them !! Glad y’all got some honey !! Love your family!! 😀😀😀😀😀😀

That honey looks amazing!!! Thank also, for continuing to explain the process. It is so interesting!!!❤️❤️

Good morning all happy Friday morning and I loved your vlogs and you all amazing Supporter, new subscriber

Love the pencils

Hi Lauren! Great video! I wanted to ask can you use Splenda or another artificial sweetener making the freezer jam? My mother is a diabetic and I would love to make her either strawberry or raspberry jam. Thanks!

Great video! I love how you work together in your many projects! God bless you all and many prayers! Thank you for sharing!

That honey is absolutely gold. We buy our honey from the people that have cranberry bogs. It is so delicious. You certainly picked a lot of raspberries. Have a wonderful day. God Bless.

Looks awesome and yummy...how our you going with your pregnancy and what was the reaction from boys where are they excited congratulations bye the way 🎉from Perth Australia

Wow that honey is a stunning colour.

So interesting about finishing off the honey this year. I think you have a decent amount of honey to last you about 2 years. My grandmother used to buy jars of honey in the comb.....we would spoon it out and chew on the comb for a bit almost like wax candy. Super yummy!!!

Your boys are like vultures when there’s food involved, you would think you never feed them hahaha! I have a bad case of OCD so if anyone is in my kitchen my anxiety skyrockets, I would have to shackle your boys to the sofa lol, I’m sure I wouldn’t be very popular with them. I can’t believe how much you were able to do with all the raspberries, I bet the boys will be the envy of the lunch room at school with the fruit leather and you honey looks beautiful

Love your videos. Very interesting and lots of love!

Your glow is so beautiful congratulations on your special blessings

I had worried about you being around those bees 🐝 when hearing about your being pregnant, so glad you and Mark decided to take a little break from them for a couple of years. I will have to confess I was one of the ones who thought babies were conceived on the cruise 🚢 oops sorry my bad. Love your videos and your entire family. ♥️

What a wonderful luxury to have so many raspberries growing at home. Different climates effect different fruits. I have a raspberry as a potted plant which I care for cover with a net to stop the birds eating them. I get excited when i see the first one. Yours must taste so delicious. Here raspberries are generally used for decoration on sponge cakes pavlova as they are considered special & a treat. The honey from hive to finished product in a jar is beautiful. Thankyou for yet another informative & enjoyable video.

That was a very informative video. I really enjoyed learning how to do things with the raspberries. Thank you for video.

The honey looks amazing! I loved seeing all you did w the Raspberries! Great video ❤ hope you are getting enough rest❤

Hi Lauren, I am so envious of all those raspberries you are dealing with. You can also try making a raspberry cordial that you bottle and can use later.

Do you have a recipe for your fruit leathers? We have lots of raspberries to use also and I think my daughter would like these. Thank you

Raspberry & white chocolate muffins.

Great video! I’m confused on how you get the trays out that are covered in bees. What happens to the bees? Very interesting process!

You don’t get bears or deer eating your berries? 🤔 hop fully you can take a nap while boys are in school….two babies brewing Ned a momma who’s rested as much as possible🦋

Love your videos! Good luck in pregnancy love to u and your family !!!!

My kids loved watching this! Thank you for teaching us.

Yummy

Raspberry crumble please! And I love raspberry jam. So many ideas.

Super interesting from here in Maryland. Thank you!

I am happy you were able to get as much honey as you did. It looks very pretty. Were the people you offered the bees to able to successfully rehome them?😢

In the past you mentioned that you had a problem with one of your previous pregnancies because you are moose, can you tell that story? Are you not eating moose now that you are pregnant again? What is it about moose that is dangerous?

Crushed the raspberries into powder and add to frosting, it’s amazing!

Raspberry pie is my all time favorite. My mom used to make it. Yum!!

I enjoyed watching the honey processing journey 😀. Yum…..raspberries are my favourite…..I grew up with bushes in our yard and I have fond memories of picking and eating them 😍

Awesome video have a great weekend

A friend of mine took freeze dried raspberry and powdered them, and added to marshmallow treats. They were delish

Your honey is beautiful in color😊

Another great video, how do you not have trouble with birds or bears eating your raspberries?😊

I wonder if you could can raspberry lemonade concentrate? 🤔 😋

What a beautiful honey harvest!! Labor of love to the very end, You should name it "The Twins Honey or 2 Bee's in the Pod" . Just keep sipping on some warm honey water Lauren to keep yourself healthy and Sweet during your pregnancy. Maybe a little ginger in it when nausea sets in. The Hamm Family are happily buzzing. Looks like everyone is pitching in. I love dried fruit on cold cereal, raspberries and Strawberries with any flaked cereal and roasted almonds. Soaked in milk so good. Raspberry scones are my favorite. It might be a perfect breakfast when you are feeling nauseous. The chewing might help. You sure are lucky for this beautiful harvest. Thanks be to God. Big hugs lots of sweet prayers for our little twins

a little coconut oil added to the chocolate and melted on dbl boiler will help bring chocolate back to melting life if you have that issue again. ❤

Congratulations for the babies it's so wonderful ! Two more babies to loved and sherish ! An I really loved your raspberries jam I will try that can we do the same thing whit 🍓 strawberries or blueberries 🫐 Take care !❤😊

Whew.. that’s a lot of raspberries 😮. You guys are so great with your food preservation. Enjoy watching you. My husband likes watching The Alaska Boys, he is a hunter/ fisherman as well

I love honey. No matter how lobg you keep it, honey will never go bad. Honey may get grainy, dryout a bit never will it be rotten. Much love and many prayers. 💖💖

60 cents a pound to save you marriage, thats money well spent 👍

Do you know if I could use your recipe with artificial sweetener or does it need to be sugar?

Your honey looked beautiful
