Alaskan Homestead Pantry Makeover: From Canners to LongTerm Food Storage | Creating a Working Pantry 

Pantry looks wonderful. I keep on changing mine and moving stuff around. I feel like pantries are a constant work in motion from how much we use things from them .nice job.

For added support on those shelves, you could add 't' brackets. (The flat t bracket things. I do not remember the name of them.) My sweetie did this with one of my tall cabinets in my craft room. When I got the cabinets, first, not all the parts were added, we had to go back to the store for more parts. Second, the back of the cabinet was only *cardboard*! We were like "What?!" So he added some I think masonite (melanite?) board to the back, plus put that 't' bracket on the bottom then added like a 'X' crossing on the bottom for added support as well. I've had that cabinet for 10 years now, it's never failed me since. He also added the 't' brackets (thin but strong flat metal brackets kind of thing) underneath my craft table for added support. (Also 10 years old, still standing.) Sooooo nice that your kids are such a help to your family. I wish our kids weren't so busy working so they could help us more.

I’ve never heard shelves that are bending in the middle with the word “swaying.” I’ve always said and heard sagging or drooping. It’s fun to hear how people use words differently. Thanks for sharing. 😊

I totally have pantry envy!! Beautiful & organized, great job.

Swaying is what you and I do when either of us gets on a ladder..until we land on the floor......the shelves are bowing....lol. I know you get my humor....Great job on the shelves, Caleb. Love what you are doing with the pantry and the 2 gallon buckets. I have the exact same grinder on my countertop. Great video- I love a good pantry video- that gives me ideas for my pantry,

I have pantry envy! We live in a very small house, so my "pantry" is broken up into a bunch of smaller spaces. It works, but I have always dreamed of a huge, airy space like you have. Great job organizing!

Looking good 👍 I live in Belfast NI in a apartment with my son iv been watching you channel for a while now so iv turned my two built in cupboards into my pantries big thankyou to you ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I too am ready for warmer weather... 😎

North Idaho here. Today I am thankful that there is no snow just rain. Hallelujah!!

You are such an inspiration to watch. I love you channel. So blessed!

Your pantry is super Jessica. You have done a great job. So organized.

Thank you for sharing your pantry and all adjusting to make improvements in your pantry

My pantry is always changing. Probably reorganize/renovate mine 4 times a year. And pantries are very personal to meet your needs. For years i canned everything except jams, jellies, etc in quarts. But now with just 2 of us, its all pints.....Great job 🥰

Nice set up I so struggle with being organized in a small space constantly changing the storage set up and I need to make sure it’s all earthquake safe love the video it’s nice to watch someone organized 😀

Your pantry is really coming along, it looks great. Thanks Jessica. 🌷🇨🇦

Really can tell the swaying on the shelves that aren't supported. Crab apples are a favorite in my house too. Your pantry really looks nice and organized

Bowing is a better word to use. And the size of that pantry is pretty awesome!

I love watching you

Very organized and user friendly Jessica. Be blessed.

it's just beautiful ..... i heard "cherry pie" ??? oh cool, I hope you will film how you make it ;)

Job well done. All that food would fill my garage. Our emergency food supply is Ramean noodles!😂

I LOVE your pantry! I can never understand why people put all of it into cupboards and then you can never see what you have or what you are out of but with yours you can easily see visually when you’re out of stuff. I try to find Joy in every day and usually I find it through counting my blessings which in a lot of ways is similar to how you say you look for gratitude in each day. I’m grateful for your channel if I ever get my dream home my pantry will be similar to yours! I would absolutely LOVE to be able to create menus and cook on a daily basis in a kitchen as incredibly stocked as yours!! All those grains are incredible!!! Is that for a long term approach or are you planning on using your grains to make all of your breads and wraps all home baked in the future? I sure would love to follow you on those recipes! I looked at purchasing one of those grain mills and they are EXPENSIVE !!! But I’d love to be able to make Einkorn bread and flour because of the quality of the grain and that it’s apparently one of the only original grains that has not been messed with or genetically modified from what I understand? I’m also looking forward to seeing your results of your egg yolk cheese that you were salt drying? How long does that process take? Love hanging out with you, keep up the content!!! It’s terrific!🥰🙏🏻❤️🇨🇦

Nice pantry.

Absolutely love your channel! Praying for y'all! from Mississippi!🥰

You just gave me a great idea Jessica. I have been looking for how to utilize more space.💡

So organized and easy to use! Love it

I am always mesmerized by your organizing!!! You are so delightful & positive! Have a wonderful Blessed Week. 💜

Hi Jessica and sweet family! When you have a family to feed, it takes a working pantry to make life easier. You definitely have a dream pantry. When my kids where young I had one, no where near as nice as yours, but it was functional and served it’s purpose. I had a basement and I stored my garden potatoes, onions and other vegetables in. The biggest part of the basement was my husband’s for his tractor, high lift and what he called his tinker toys till we built a large building to house his equipment and tinker toys. I hope you and your family have a blessed day!

Hi. I am new to your channel and very much enjoyed the tour and your organization. By adding all the 2 gallon buckets, you might be having a little trouble finding the one you need. My suggestion would be alphabetizing them.

Beautyful pantry great job,gave me a couple ideas.

❤❤❤❤

Awesome video ,you have been a very buzzy bee ❤Thank you for sharing

Great Whole Foods! I don’t see junk food. Great job

Looking good ..I can see them spiced apples throw over some cream cheese and eat with corn tortillas chips as a snack…yum yum

I put shelf liner so no scuffing or paintin n it looks like Grey barn wood

You have a beautiful pantry, so clean and neat, it’s my dream pantry and it shows your pride in home canning. It’s a lot of work initially but once’s you have mapped out how you want things displayed it makes your life easier to figure out what needs to be purchased. Great job, I love it. What I’m grateful for is my kids and grandkids, I took my three grandchildren this weekend and we went on a lunch date and to the play park, we played dress up and did crafts, my girls are nine and four year old twins and I’m grateful for muscle relaxers lol

You are fortunate to have help! My husband still works so I try not to ask too much from him.., but he does a LOT for me! Your pantry is awesome!

Wow you are amazing the amount of work you do everyday to maintain. You have certainly thought things through love the set up. Love your home. So happy to see your smiling.

LOVE your pantry!

Hi sweet one! I envy your pantry so much!!! You are so organized and always trying to stay on top of all of it. I am so grateful that I found your channel and made such a lovely friend!!! Big hugs and many blessings!

Where did you learn to organize, I only dreamt of such a pantry many years ago. I found your channel by accident and I am trying to watch everything you have out there. Take care, be well. Looking forward for our next visit.

Great job, Caleb! Jess, the pantry is really looking fantastic 😍 and one can definitely tell with all the adjustments that it's working for you. I'm grateful for the inspiration 🙏 that you bring. Thanks for that! Take good care!!

Thanks Jessica, it's all looking so good. Bet you can't wait for the growing season so you can replenish your shelves. I did email you re last video, btu it was returned this morning as i'd put in wrong address on it ... So thank you for sharing your story, it took courage for you to do so. I have worked with addiction and i know it can be so very hard... some think that as you walk out the door you are 'cured'! Everyday is a struggle, so good job to you.

Love your pantry!

What a great help Caleb is for you! I love, love your pantry! You are such an inspiration to organize any space. Awesome job! God bless you all!

Love being in your pantry with you ❤️❤️ Your pantry is just awesome !!!! All your hard work and budgeting on show to reward you👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏 Love from the UK x

Dream pantry - love it!

The pantry is looking great with the new additions to it , well done

Beautiful pantry

I love your pantry😊

Your pantry is amazing!

Love how organized and easy to find things are! So random but your floors are crazy clean. Not one dust bunny! I’m super jealous ❤😂

Hi Jessica! You are the best at improving and updating things! Can’t wait to see more!

Enjoyed working with you this morning. Looks really nice ❤️

Oh so wish I had room for a pantry like that 💗

I really envy the way you are constantly thinking of your storage and prepping and getting things canned and stocked up and also with learning the details and science of the gardening to do your best with it and get the most food possible etc. I wish I had the space to do extra storage, and is Kodie still working on her cookie business and how is she doing with it?

❤❤❤❤❤

Hi Jess hope you all are well.

Following from Palmer 😊

Watching the video now… I remember Mindy’s pantry after earthquake. Do you get them where you live? I see some shelves you have black boards across. I really love your pantry.

When will you complete the basement stair entrance? I would hate to walk outside every time I needed something from food storage. In do time I’m sure Aaron will get to it. Busy man!

I enjoyed the video. Looks great! I was just wondering if you found an alternative area for your staircase to the basement.

Is this the conclusions of the last pantry reorganization that you didn’t finish? Just wanting to know if I missed something. I love your pantry!! We will eventually remodel a room and turn it into a pantry. I like some of the features you have.

I envy your pantry. I only have a limited amount, there is no further space and unfortunately my husband does not understand the point of stocks.. Do you keep a log of stocks? And you label the shelves with the quantity that is there, so that you can oversee your stock at a glance. Good work from both of you.

So can you make halibut salad in place of tuna salad?

I just got a bag of dried peas @ Walmart Friday. How long is your expiration date? I really like how organized you are.

How do you like the nutrimill? I was looking at them, Komo and Mock mills.

What do you put in your canned Collards?
