I dehydrate my extra berries and when they are dryer completely I make a powder out of them. The powder is fantastic for adding to pancakes, baked goods or sprinkled on ice cream.... just an idea.

The reason you take the rings OFF your completed and cooled canned items is so if the lid does, by chance, come unsealed……if it has a ring on it….you wouldn’t know soon enough that it spoiled and not to eat it! IT IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT and something I learned from MY grandma 55years ago…..and I have taught my children and grandchildren….

I’m so proud of you guys for being so young, and so knowledgeable, and not falling for the Pharmaceutical agenda. You are an inspiration to many people, including older adults. When we moved to Ohio here from Nevada, three years ago, I promised myself I would grow a garden for the first time in my life. This is only my second year of gardening, and I am very proud of what I harvested. I grow herbs in the winter time with the Aero garden. I have learned so much from homesteaders like you, but I really like how soft-spoken you both are. Ohio is the best! ❤

Raspberry icecream is fantastic! If you freeze dry raspberries you can powder them in a grinder and store the powder. That will use up a massive amount of berries of any kind. Raspberry powder in cake mix will make a tasty raspberry cake or cupcake. You can make raspberry raisins. Dried fruit run through a meat grinder and mixed with a bit of nuts and just enough honey to hold shape make good fruit balls that give you lots of energy and multiple servings of fruit from a golf ball sized serving. The more types of fruit added the tastier it is!

@morethanfarmers 5 месяцев назад

That stuff sounds good!

@OddSocksandSpontaneity 7 месяцев назад

Another incredible video. Especially love the part at the end where you are incredibly transparent. I think it’s a great point to make and perhaps a reality check for people thinking about moving towards a more self sustainable lifestyle that it takes a lot of skills and time. One day you might make your own hard cheese and prepare your own spices but there’s nothing wrong with supplementing with store bought to save an ounce of sanity! ❤

Michellle, you and Codi do an amazing job of taking care of yourselves, your family and the farm. You make it look easy, but I know you worked very hard to get where you are. I pray you and Codi will always make time for each other and your children. It seems to me you have a great grasp of what is needed to be successful.... and I don't mean successful where money is concerned - though I hope your worries about that are few. You two are very grounded in reality. I'm in my 70s and I continue to learn from young people such as yourself. Keep up the great work!

@pinschrunner 7 месяцев назад

I suggest that you KEEP your raspberry bushes and abundant crops and merely ADD elderberry bushes. When you do something well, stick to it. TRADE with someone else who has abundance of those apples that you buy. I had an organic pineapple farm until HURRICANE ISN devastated it. I always traded for mangoes, avocados, blueberries, etc. Just a suggestion. Y'all are doing fantastic! Is Dutch VALLEY organic bulk food? Do u buy organic oats, etc? @More Than Farmers

@morethanfarmers 7 месяцев назад

Problem is we only have enough time to do so much.. and you might think differently after you spend hours upon hours picking raspberries 😉 Dutch valley sells organic and conventional. We get mostly organic stuff.

I'm brand-new to canning and I canned 9 jars of salsa, 4 jars of caramelized onions, 3 jars of sweet & spicy onion jam (yes, I had a ton of onions to 'get rid of'), and 2 jars of pickled okra. Looking forward to experimenting more. I also have a freeze-dryer and processed even more onions and tomatoes.

@Jeff-gt2xu 4 месяца назад

1) You can cut the acid in your tomato sauce by cooking in one shredded carrot per pot of sauce. The carrot cuts the acid and because it is shredded, the carrot will "disappear" into the sauce. 2) Upright freezers can pop open if you lose power long enough for the temp to rise high enough to break the seal. You do NOT want to have to clean that up. Stick with the chest freezers.

@beckysnyder4591 5 месяцев назад

More Than Farmers--- My Mom would cook tomatoes & then put them in the canning jars with rings then turn them upside own on newspaper on the table to seal them. You can hear them pop when thy seal. I helped her do this many times & it works.

I feel like SO many are interested, but taking the first steps into this life (first essential items to buy, what land is fertile, what seeds are vital to plant) would seem a little bit daunting. Just an idea for a future series :)

Hi, if you put meat on trays in freezer for half hour, you can then bag each bit of meat, makes easy to get one out and not defrost whole bag. I'd highly recommended a chamber vac packer for meats. You never get freezer burn and meat is as good as you put it in there.

@heatheringram2976 7 месяцев назад

The number one reason to get a chest freezer is that the door can so easily be left open on an upright freezer. My kids and husband have not closed it all the way so many times getting Icecream out. I lost all the food last week, again, I had a total meltdown, again, and bought a chest freezer.

@morethanfarmers 7 месяцев назад

Ah. Good point.

@jaket8947 7 месяцев назад

Uprights are bad for that reason and also because when you open them, all your cold air rushes out and it takes a lot more energy overall to replace.

Mice will make short work of plastic buckets - I used to raise them so I know. I'm glad you vermin-proofed your basement but I would still store those on a higher shelf + turn them all the way around for an inspection regularly. It's not that they can't climb to a higher shelf, but having them on the ground it's dark around and behind them and there are more angles they can attack it from so placing it higher up would slow them down. As for checking them, the hope is that you catch it partway through their efforts. Mice can fit through a space the width of a pencil!

@DonandAngie229 7 месяцев назад

HI!! about your frozen milk.. This is a trick I do. after you let it thaw if you put it in a pot and heat it a bit that would let the butter fat mix back in to the milk and you will have that same quality as when the milk cam out of your cow. I would say 90 to 95 is hot enough. Hope it helps you.

a note on water bath canning - no reason you can't do it outdoors on a gas burner or even a fire pit or charcoal grill. We do that for large batch canning. We set up a folding table with cafeteria trays lined with dishtowels for the jars. It allows us to run much larger water baths than I can run stove top, and we don't heat up the house.

For your cold room you should look into what's referred to as a cool bot if im remembering the name correctly. It essentially turns your basic window ac, overides the governor on it to allow you to make it as cold as you want. And it's not expensive. All yould need to maybe do would be add some insulation on you haven't done so yet with. Love your cellar lol aka basement. Miss having a basement up north....back in Texas for over a decade now and all we have are built in root cellars if you can find a German or czech built home from late 1800s to early 1900s....or your typical "storm shelter" for tornadoes which i believe theyd have for sure used as cold or root cellars

Maybe you can use some hardsided collapsible/foldable totes in the freezers to keep things more contained, saw Becky from Acre Homestead doing that. I'm in the market to buy another freezer and was thinking of an upright on..maybe I should rethink this before buying. What I have learned to do now is vacuum pack my meats to keep them fresh longer, flat and without ice.

This is my dream! I live in the city but I bought an old house, built in the 30s, and its on a much large lot than newer builds. My backyard is large at about 1/4 acre, or 10,000 square feet. Has a couple of large live oaks and a 300 square foot shed with running water and electricity. Last year we put in a pond and 4 raised beds and grew some veggies, but not a lot. This year we are turning the majority of the yard into a veggie garden, medicinal herb garden, and wildflower beds, putting in 1 bee hive, and building a chicken coup with 3-5 chickens. We have great grass and a new inground sprinkler system that we are hoping can also be used to just water the garden when we get rid of roughly 70% of the grass for gardening.

If possible, I recomend you get different lids (ones that scew on) just in case, you never know what the future holds and you may need to store for longer than a year. That being said, you are doing very well. This is my third year gardening, but my first year storing and preserving. I am learning from you both. Thank you!

@morethanfarmers 7 месяцев назад

We might do that eventually. They're just kinda expensive.

Just discovered this wonderful channel a couple nights ago and now l'm a premium member. l don't can anymore other than jalapeno peppers. We used to can tomatoes and beans on a picnic table on the carport using a Coleman stove to avoid heating the house.

Newly subscribed! Y’all are awesome. Thanks for giving price comparisons on the food. I follow other homesteaders/farmers and I’ve come to appreciate H‑E‑B prices a lot more. The sugar was a 61-68 difference. Real salt was 75-175 but considering it’s 275 in your area, that still made me feel pretty good. Thanks for sharing your hard work with us.

I wish everyone would do this and completely bypass the grocery stores.

How have i not found this channel....i love watching homestead videos because it's my endgame and after watching a lot of channels and videos i have to to the realisation that it is physically impossible to be 100% self reliant in the modern world.....even the Amish can't do it lol. As for the cheeses i would start with the soft cheeses like Riicotta as they are easy to make and you get the double dip as you can use the leftover whey just like when making your butter

Hi Codi, congratulations to you and Michelle on such a successful Gardening and Food Storage year. The little Grocery Store in your basement was very impressive and very well organized and clean. Hope that Codi can end his outside employment this fall like you had hoped.

@morethanfarmers 7 месяцев назад

Thank you Ben! Yes, we have plans for me to quit my job later this fall!

After watching this video I bought a one way ticked for my ex Mexican girlfriend. All she cared about was fancy restaurants, fancy clothes to the point closet has collapsed and taking photos of herself. In reality, no she moved out by herself and back to Mexico, but now I see that, I am glad she is gone. How useful is your wife. Great Job, Great Project, don't stop.

That was a great video, but my biggest take-away was "I have to build me one of those tree style book shelves for my office." haha. Well that and I need a "root-cellar".

For raspberries we love them on the side at breakfast, on top of pancakes, in smoothies, and yogurt parfaits

One thing you should do is tap some trees and make your own syrup. It’s soooo good, but a lot of work, but it is a winter thing when things are slower.

Love the pantry! Every girl's dream! I love canning but with only my hubby and I I'm afraid I would waste a lot of it. Keep up the great videos!

@morethanfarmers 7 месяцев назад

You could totally do smaller batches! Put it on a smaller shelf and it'll still look like you have a nice full shelf of canned goods 😉

20:16 I love this part the most. Of course the ideal is to be 100% self-sufficient and grow all our own food and not have to rely on grocery stores during things like power outages or whatnot, but realistically, like you said in your example from your cow, it's nice to have grocery stores available as a back up or supplement. As much as I would LOVE for the world to go back to everyone growing their own gardens and being their own grocers, it's not really realistic in this day and age, not like it was for our pioneer ancestors or indigenous ancestors. And thank God we have things like grocery stores to fall back on. There are just some years that crops don't yield (which the absolute importance of preserving food), so during those times it's a great luxury to have grocery stores available. I love that you're so honest and humble about that.

We are buying 10 acres and your videos have me so excited to start gardening. We have chickens in town and they really are the gateway into homesteading. Cows and gardens and maybe a few goats. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart for your videos. We just our third daughter off to college and we are selling a big home in town to buy land and build a couple of small manageable cabins (kids need one when they come home to visit). We are so excited to slow down and enjoy life in our second half. At 41 and 45 years young, I am so impressed with what I have gained from your channel. 👏🥳

Some ideas for the raspberries; Raspberry jam Raspberry and vanilla ice cream lollies Raspberry and cherry pie? Raspberry chutney? Raspberry pancake syrup Raspberry and white chocolate chip cookies Raspberry mixed with milk; flavoured milk? I love how you actually care about your cow 🥰🙌🏾 most farmers don’t care about cows getting inflamed and having things like mastitis. You’ve got one lucky cow 🎉

@Indigosoul127 6 месяцев назад

Consider not leaving your veggies overflow to waste. You can pick them, package them and bring them to your local food pantry. There are a lot of people with food insecurities. Your 9vetflow helps a lot.

In my herb garden, I grew many different herbs, but I had chocolate mint as well as stevia…..when my kids were growing up, (30 years ago) 🤪 …..when playing outside, they and their friends would take the Chocolate mint leaf, wrap it in a stevia leaf and eat it as a candy…..it tastes exactly like a York peppermint patty😂

@morethanfarmers 5 месяцев назад

We've done that too! It's great!
