You have nothing to be ashamed of! There is always clutter before organization. I love that you and your Mom are doing that together...I miss my Mom every day, and wish she was around! Big hugs and blessings!
I am blown away by how organized you are. I enjoy watching your journey. I am by myself and moving into a new home (my first one I have owned)and am taking what you are teaching to heart even though it’s only myself. Thank you!!!
Nice I wish I had that much space for storage in one place, I have stuff packed up all over the place LOL. Your Mom is a big help I know you are so grateful for her! I hope you guys are taking some time to have some fun!
You guys really did well. Hope you get to put your feet up & relax. What a project. Corn cob jelly, juiced limes & lemons then zested them. Canned 2 batches of dry beans. Dehydrated apples. Every little bit counts. Thanks for encouraging this community.
I think I found your channel last week. I've been canning peaches and peach pit jelly and teaching my 13 year old daughter to can pickles (for 4H). She's canned squash pickle medley today and bread and butter pickles and has relish salting now and I just took a good deal of the leftover cucumbers for pickle relish. I have about 15 qts of chopped cucumbers and onions in my big mixing bowl now. Thanks for keeping me company while I chopped cucumbers.
I just wanted to say that I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. Every one of them! I love the food growing, storage, food hauls, preserving recipes and all others! I just also watched the chicken coop build and have to say that those chickens are definitely able to live their best life. Thanks again and can’t wait to watch more.
Just found your channel. I also live in Wasilla. My name is Ruth and I’m a grandma of 3 . I live with my son and his girlfriend and my grandkids. It’s nice to know someone close by that believes in having extra. My granddaughter and my youngest grandson are helping me. I buy what I can afford on my disability and pfd. Thanks for being there with the support.
Wow Hello Ruth nice to meet you! I always tell those local if you do see me out say hello in person! I’m so happy you are doing what ever it is you can.
You're doing such an amazing job organizing and preparing, I've gotten so many great ideas from you thank you! You've quickly become my fav channel thanks for all your efforts
It's so much fun watching you get to grips with your foodstuffs, Jessica. 💞 You are both doing a fantastic job...your mum is absolutely wonderful. Special blessings from The Lord for all mothers out there. You are all beautiful people and you deserve all the gratitude in the world. Im definitely looking forward to the next video. All the very best to your whole Family from the UK ❤ 🇬🇧. Paula x
I use the black shelves from Costco. I just saw some used ones on Facebook marketplace but they’re gone now. They are so strong. I need to get my rice bagged up. I just got my oat groats and beans dealt with a few days ago. I know how much work all of this is, your mom is a champ. I love how supportive she is.
My garden has had an abundance of Jalapenos. So today i made over 100 jalapeno poppers and froze them. They will be a great snack to watch football with!
Get yourself gussied up and head to town, little girl. You need a three generation get away for the afternoon!! It helps to refreshen your spirit when tackling such a big chore. God bless helpful moms, I had one and yours reminds me of mine….no task too big! See you tomorrow! Safe trip to town, hugs and blessings ❤️Momma G
It’s coming together! I’m working mine as well but mine is no where near the volume as yours. There is so much peacefulness that comes with being somewhat stocked and to know you could go awhile,months, and not have to worry about food. Keep up the great work!! Enjoy your channel soooo much!
I have been enjoying all of your shows. Just a FYI not sure if all Costco Bakery’s are the same but mine will give you buckets with lids for free. Mostly they are the half size ones that come with fruit filling and other goodies in them. I left my phone number and the quantity I wanted, they called me and had even washed them. Keep up the good work with all your projects.
Hi Jessica. Discovered your channel a few days ago and currently watching all your videos. Love love love your channel. Especially the background music. Can’t wait to learn more. Already started working on my pantry thanks to you!!
I love the idea of a spread sheet. I made one for my spices but It needs to be updated. I am recovering from lymphoma cancer so my energy is in slow motion. but I am doing something every few days. Yesterday I picked tomatoes and went to the store to purchase peppers 🌶 because something ate most of mine. Today I put tomatoes in the freezer and later tonight I hope to make pepper jelly. Tomorrow I pick up my azure standard with 2 boxes of peaches and 30 lbs of corn to work through. I am really enjoying your videos. And want to steal your vacuum sealer 🤓
Hi 😊 I’m not new to your wonderful Channel, I’ve been watching from my tv and I can’t leave comments only thumbs ups. I just wanted to say hello so I grabbed my phone today🌸💕 but I just like to say keep up the good work!! You are amazing!
Orders coming in for long term storage- cases of oven roaasted turkey, vegetarian skallops,canned meat , dried soup,chili mixed meals. using the 3gal buckets for a lot of storage right now
Great job ! I have to do the same my last azure pickup needs to be organized into buckets and labeled your not alone out the no shame . Yesterday I started making bone broth going to pressure can it up today and then get some vegetables in the dehydrator. Have a great day!😊
You have fast become one of my faves. I have been trying to work out the kinks of my new freeze dryer (have yet to do a single batch). I live in rural AZ, in the mountains on acreage. We have 4 seasons here, not desert. So I’m gearing up for winter right now.-Jamie
Attempting to do this in one fell swoop is daunting. I’m sure it will look completely different in years to come when life shows you how best to use your food storage. Enjoy your videos! Enjoy your life!
I just found your channel very nice! I was taken when you said Cinnamon goes in just the spice area! My brain wired the same way. I have Mylar bags and just starting to use them where can I purchase the Mylar bag sealer?? Loved it. Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you so much this is the one I have. avidarmor.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw9ZGYBhCEARIsAEUXITUR-X590rqWom2H92zwcVA6TvVokytK36Qm3FM38IOlXvOlEqzxBiIaAv0vEALw_wcB
GREAT video!! It's my dream to move to Alaska within the next few year's! I'm a big hunter and Fisher, so I know I'd love it up there! My wife is worried she might not have a job for the 1st year (she's a mortgage loan officer and helps people qualify for home loans). I'm a Helicopter Mechanic but with the cost of living up there, I'm trying to find a company that pays really well.. Haha! I live in Yuma, AZ and it's a sandbox here! You guy's have a new subscriber!
We moved from AZ my husband got her full time in April. Trust me you if you are called to be here you will make it just fine. We came no job nothing, And my husband works a very very unique qualification. But through faith we went out and he had a job in 2 weeks. (We did save up and have a plan) my son snd husband were out fishing while I made this video yesterday. Nothing like it in the world. I hope your dreams come true. Our only advise “say screw it and sell it all get in the truck snd make it happen” Alaska will reward those who work. Best wishes and blessings.
@@modernhomesteadalaska If that's a her.. I'm scared.. LOL.. We'll be up there next summer for a week and bringing my mother in law and my wife's niece. I might have to "miss" my flight back and stay up there! Haha.. She knows we'll make it up there. Not a matter of if, but when.. It'd be awesome to say hi to you guy's when we come visit! Maybe do some fishing or something!
I’m not sure if this is a question. I am just guessing. But I seal all the air out to prevent bugs more than anything. And to keep mice and other things from getting into the food.
Just found your channel and LOVE IT. Your kitchen….. ❤️❤️❤️ With regards to your son and packing peanut butter. Check out the Power XL Duo food sealer. I got mine about 2 months ago and LOVE it. You can make individual snack packs etc. would be perfect to pack and seal the peanut butter. I have a Food Saver, however, I like the portability of the Power XL. What do you make with the buttermilk powder? I just got some from Azure and I thought I could make some ranch dressing mix
Girl that’s my favorite vacation spot I have been more time then I know. My grandparents have a condo there. Aaron and I have been a few times and my sister just got home from the Bahamas. A place close to my heart! Welcome to the channel. avidarmor.com/products/vacuum-sealers/
nice! so how long will your spices from azure last after being vacuum sealed and stored? haven’t thought about doing this, but may add to my order for this purpose.
Ummm well spices don’t actually go bad they loose flavor. So resealing the spices every time you open can make them last 3-4 years according to some studies. I try and do more around 1-2 years of a spice on hand and not try and push that 3-4 year mark. If you don’t get the air out 6 months to a year is all a spice lasts
That is a great question. Yes you should have. The storage I’m working on I have the goal of only 1 year and to rotate through it. I’m not where I’m putting back for 20-30 years. Getting the oxygen out is they key so weather it’s with an absorber or with a sealer for short term it doesn’t matter to me. But fir 20-30 years I would have both put an oxygen absorber and still sealed it.
Hi Jessica. I’m curious if the peanut butter is the PB they sell in the big tubs? If so, how are you liking it? How are you handling/storing it once opened? What are they saying it’s shelf life is? I’ve been looking at it but unsure how to manage a larger size like that. Thanks!
May sound like a silly question, but there are 4 of you. I understand bulk storing, but why so much product? Like, it would take my family 3 years to get through all of your product you just have on your shelves.
@@Lynn_Up_North good question, it’s actually 8 now. That I’m stocked and feed several days a week. Also remember my husband lost his job in Jan. Of this year. We are still trying to build back up after that, it will take my guess 2 years for us to get back where we were. We have ran out and low on many many items as I cook from scratch to not eat out or buy pre packaged or processed food. It’s not nearly as much as you think when you are forced to eat off of only what you have stocked up. Home canned shelves are nearly just empty jars with exception of things just recently preserved. Lastly, I’m not stocked up on perishable things or “short shelf life” always some exceptions, but it’s better given our situation over the last 7 months to have to much then not enough. Nothing is going to go bad if it does take 2-3 years to get to it say in a normal year when you don’t only eat from the stock. Hope that clears it up
