We've NEVER shown you this room before... | Root Cellar | Food Storage | Farmhouse Living 

Your husband has such a sarcastic humor. I get a giggle every time.

Love this!! Is it silly that this is one of my more loved videos? I take homesteading so seriously, it's all about the food, baby! Not the trendy, oh it's cute, hobby farming stuff you see out there. Seeing the massive amounts of food stored away makes me more happy than any pretty scene of lovely areas. Silly, I know. But it makes my heart sing when I see my carefully stored foods I raised laboriously. And seeing yours makes my heart sing the same way. Thanks for sharing! ❤

seeing the way you guys and the kids interact seriously made me consider wanting kids omg.... the way you guys just seem so content and happy with each other is so endearing, the way you let the kids be curious about the kitchen and cooking process is so sweet.

I love that the kids are around the kitchen seeing how things are done. It reminds me of when I grew up... They will forever be great full when they grow up they are so blessed to have you guys as parents 💗💕💕💕

It’s so heartwarming to see the two of you together. More couples should treat each other that way.

Thank you! Please continue this purposeful organization theme. I believe families continue to struggle with not just seasonal cleaning but daily organizing, cleaning and preserving house and home. Learning this skill 2019 will bring peace of mind. ❤️🌱

I love to make things beautiful, but I’ve never been able to explain why. Until just now! The more beautiful things are, the more inspired you are to create! Thank you for those words!

Oh gee...now that I've found your channel and some of the other homesteaders I'm feeling equal parts inspired, embarrassed, overwhelmed, and encouraged. I struggle to get Kraft Dinner on the table for my three kids, and you just put a beautiful salad and DUCK on the table. I struggle to define whether I am just a different type of person and should enjoy the lifestyle we are living, or whether I need to make changes to get closer to what I see in your family. It doesn't help that my husband's MS holds him back and therefor seems to anchor our family in a bit of chaos and sometimes despair. But we've been going at this for 12.5 years and we love each other and our kids more today than yesterday. Maybe we'll get where we need to be or find the peace in where we are now along the way.

Your husband did a very good job on the ceiling. You guys seem to love and respect each other. Good men don’t hear enough praise. Thanks for reminding me to keep doing that for my own bearded cutie 🥰.

Great video. The duck looked sooo good. My all time favorite meat! Love the root cellar, we had a large pantry room in Oregon that we used for this, can't wait to see how we will store our crops now. :)

This is my first time watching your family vlog and I loved it! Having that very old root cellar is such a plus to your homestead. I haven't seen the rest of the house but I can imagine it is just as lovely. The duck looked so good, and I've never had the pleasure of even eating duck. My brother cooks it for holidays but he lives way up in Duluth, MN. I can't wait to see more of your videos and you have a beautiful family! Thank you for sharing your life with us!

Thank you for always talking about how long projects take in such positive ways. It gives me hope that we'll get our place up and running someday. The reminder that projects start and stop and evolve is so helpful!

Thank you for complimenting your husband. This is something I need to do more of.

I so admire all of the young people that are homesteading now days and teaching their children where their food comes from and how to grow it. If I we're younger it's the life I would definitely want.

Have you got CO2 meter in the cellar? Since carbon dioxide is heavier than air it can accumulate in secluded areas like cellars without ventilation. Stay safe. Stay Elliott Homestead.

What a beautiful, loving family you have! May God Bless you! Stay in the Light! So blessed!

Try using a tea spoon to peel your ginger. It takes the skin off without wasting any. Also you can't cut your fingers!! Great channel btw 😁

I LOVE your videos. I love the old way of living and you keep that alive in me. Thank you!

One room was probably a cistern like my basement. The rest was probably a cellar for food storage. We call it a fruit cellar here. Goof fruit cellars had dirt floors so you could store whole cabbage plants and carrots in sand.

I admire anyone who can have this kind of lifestyle. I love ur videos. U have a beautiful family.

You guys live a beautiful, beautiful life!!!! Thank you for sharing it and inspiring others. 😃❤️👍🙏

Your root cellar is outstanding! Thank you for sharing! I so loved hearing your loving children sing together! I am so relaxed after enjoying this video I think I will watch the next one relaxing in my hot tub outside on this beautiful July 2022 Lake Chelan Valley day! God Bless you all!

Omg as a city girl/hair dresser I've always wondered what I was going to to when I farm on a larger scale when it comes to still looking glam!! And boy oh boy you nailed it with the makeup and lashes!! I see it still can be done!! Love your video this is the first one I've seen.

May the Lord keep blessing your family, it’s your family that makes the root cellar priceless

Oooh have you thought over putting white beadboard shiplap on the ceiling to brighten the space. We have a local colonial 1950s house and almost everywhere they could put old beadboard they did. It makes spaces so much easier to clean and bigger feeling. Love the dedicated space for root cellar pantry. How inspiring.

Do your children realize how lucky they are to have a mommy that is such a great cook? I love your videos. Please make lots more this year. Thank You. Grandpa Jones

I love it when you brag on Stuart- I love the expression on his face when you do that. I love your kitchen, your pots and pans, I love to watch you cook, I love your family, and your lifestyle. I got excited - I thought you were going to make a latte- I wanted to watch you do that also.....next time?

I'm looking forward to another year of perfection and loveliness on the Eyelash Homestead!

Watching this makes me feel even more happier about homesteading

Great secret room! Love the walk in fridge too. Have to admit I have never had duck but you made it look sooo good.

So glad to see you are posting again on a regular basis. Would love to hear some commentary on the cooking. Great job on the videos. Keep up the good work. The food looks delicious, the garden captivating, the house a vintage treasure, and the company subliime.

1. loving you guys! 2. silent night beautiful! 3. you're super elegant, reminded me a lot of when I was living in France 4. I thought it looked like the Koolaid man broke through your wall 😀. 5. I would have painted the walls and the shelves and did maybe a brick floor but then again I ate a store bought salad for lunch lol

I keep watching your videos because I want to make subsistence farming a hobby of mine when I save up enough money to buy a property. It's a lot of work. I know it is. But not relying on the economy for my food, water, shelter, and sanitation has been a dream of mine since I was 14. The next part of the comment is dreamy rambling. You don't have to read it. I've talked to my little brother. He says he wouldn't be opposed to sharing a property. I could grow food, and he would have a lot of fun with some nice toys in the shop. We both have an interest in sustainability and independence. But since it will be just a hobby, I don't expect to completely feed ourselves with the garden. Hopefully our future wives will be okay with the hobby. I won't expect my wife to participate in my hobby, and I sure won't expect her to be domestic. She can be, if she wants- and if our financial situation allows. But I expect to be a careerwoman, and I don't want to be a mom, stay at home or otherwise. I like kids, but I don't want to be a parent. I will spoil my brothers future children rotten though. My future wife and I will be the best aunties ever. I sure hope I can save enough money for a large-ish property. A handful of acres. With the recession on the way, and me not even having my first job, I'm afraid that I'm getting ahead of myself. I probably won't ever have enough money to buy a property, especially one within an hour's commute of where I will likely work. Ah well. Daydreams are better than reality anyway. Reality is suffering, daydreams are warm and comforting. So it may be for the best that my daydream will never come true. I'll still work for it though. I hope your reality isn't suffering. I hope your life is warm and comforting, as daydreams are. Perhaps your life is just plain boring, with spots of hardship and spots of joy. That would be nice too.

I was just thinking about you guys. You live your lives FULLY. Enjoying every little aspect of your lives. Kudos! Thank you so much for sharing your lives, knowledge,family and interests with us. You give us much to aspire to.

OH MY, IT LOOKS DELICIOUS...WHAT A FORTUNATE, ARTISTIC, FAMILY IN SO MANY WAYS! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!

Fantastic. That cabbage and duck with those flavours sound incredibly good. Every homesyeads envy with a cellar AND a walk in fridge. Great video once again.

Elegant, calm, enjoyable! I love to watch you choose your ingredients from your great pantry and whip up a gourmet meal while chatting with us. I can see you getting your own show on TV. Hugs❤️

You guys are soo talented with the camera and editing. I love your videos. Have an amazing Monday, Andreas from Off Grid Sweden 🇸🇪

I am IMPRESSED! You’ve worked really hard!👍👍👍👍👍

I was enjoying the video and all of a sudden it was over, boo. thanks Elliott family. : ) peace

I never want your videos to end. NEVER. 😔😙

Every video you make is so inspiring to me! Gives me the drive to live closer to nature this way even in the city, every little bit closer I can get!

It doesn’t get better than this, you’re living the dream!

out of all the homestead RU-vidrs your video quality is the best

You have so much more preserves in your root cellar than the preserving and embalming of King Tut's body, or mummification process on his way to the Ancient Egyptian afterlife. Love, Light, Peace & Gratitude.

I just came across your channel. What a lovely way to raise your family.

Just come across your channel. what an amazing garden , family and life you have. Looking forward to seeing the video's in your library and any new content you upload.

My kids watched this with me and now really want that salad. Please tell me you can share it because, woot! kids asking for cabbage is always a good day. Thanks for the happy tour!

pfff the "bearing your children" bit was hilarious! probably would've made that joke myself lol

Love your root cellar! And OMG, all that kraut - beautiful!! Thanks for sharing.

Noooo!!! I wanted to see the whole duck process. You ended with that beautiful pile of duck and herbs. I'm salivating. Is it in one of your books? Jealous of your cellar. Love it!

Fantastic video as always, I love cabbage so that salad looked awesome. Thanks for showing us a little more of your farm.

I’m not sure how I came across your video but I absolutely love everything about you and your family. This video was so relaxing to watch, and the love you and your husband share is simply beautiful. I loved when the boys wanted to smell the ginger. 🤗 it made me think of my littles always in the pots as I’m cooking. 🤗 You definitely have gained a new subscriber. Thanks for sharing 😍😍

Your children are so lucky to know what real food is!

😳 my dream cellar! Very inspiring thanks so much for sharing!

Recipes for salad would be wonderful ☺

I bet you love your house! Neat root cellar! Wonder why you didn't put down landscape cloth before the gravel. Maybe something to do with moisture? Don't know.

Wonderful video! So soothing and sweet. Thank you for sharing😉

That salad looks so delicious! It would be wonderful to know the recipe for the sauce and what you cooked the nuts in :) Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us!

This is awesome. I love your ethics. I don't need fancy and new...give me a gallon of paint and i am happy. My hubby is much like Stu, hes a welder by trade and a carpenter by......years of figuring things out. Great job

Watching you cook the duck made me crave some...now it is on the menu this week! Love your root cellar and your organization ♥️

Love this! We live in a farmhouse was that built in 1900. I wish we could store things (other than cans) in ours basement. It's just way too damp.

You two are amazing together. I love what you share and your family. I watched a video you did talking about family and how to keep them healthy....You sure are an inspiration........BLESSINGS..MINDY

Love how you put so much effort and love into every meal ❤️. It’s impossible that foot harvested duck anywhere 🤣🤣

Thank you for showing us your cellar! When I was reading about it in your book, I wished I could see it! 😉

This right here is life goals.....

Some day way way in the future some one will redo that kitchen floor. The will find lost treasures and be amazed at the vintage toys. Awesome. Lol

Amazing root cellar! Your work ethic is admirable.

Both of you guys are amazing! That cellar is nice.

Boy u were chopping so fast n slinging food to n fro like pro , and u r what a lucky man n blessed children that u r in their life

My first video of yours. Love that walk in fridge room. Never thought to do that. I'd love more explanation on how you went about it and the pro's vs con's of it all. The recipe for that slaw salad you made would be awesome too....( =

Hi. Love your RU-vid posts. I have a Shetland sheep farm in Maine. Would you mind posting an episode on how you built your walk in fridge?

I would love to hear any of your insights into parenting. You guys always seem to be able to get work done with all your children around! I only have one and have a hard time finding the time to wash dishes. Thanks from Austin, TX!

hahah foot harvested ducks :D you guys are soooo adorable and funny :D I love seeing your videos :)

Country living at its best. Nice bounty in the cellar. A lot to be grateful. ✌

I love your cellar and can’t wait to see more of it. Tell me more about your pots hanging above the stove? Are they copper and will you share how to use and season them? All the things!! I’m in love with your channel and homestead! ☺️ I bought your book and devoured it in one day. Haha I’m a little obsessed right now, can you tell? 😂 We just started chickens and goats this year on our land! 💚 And loving it!

My goodness, you all eat well. Beautiful. Simply beautiful!

More of these videos Elliotts! Really inspiring and fun to see! You guys are really good at what you do! Happy 2019!

Love your root cellar. You can totally see the work you have put into it .. Wow

That is so beautiful! We have a small cold room under our stairs, but I would love to have one as big as yours! We are actually in the process of looking for a new home, and a cold room is on the 'must' list.

Y'all are killing me with all of the goodness in this episode! Don't you want to come back to Alabama and work on our place?! ;)

Great video, thank you! Very inspiring for my retirement plans of homesteading. Have to wait for lent to be over to order the books (gave up online shopping for Lent) but cannot wait to make the salad. Have to try the duck cooked that way too, have had some not so good restaurant duck recently that put me off it but your cooking method looks very good. Thanks :o)

One of my favorite videos! I wished you guys would have shown how you made your walk-in refrigerator. keep up the good work.

i loved this post. i am also in love with your kitchen. what a warm and cozy place,

Lovely video. I really wanted to see more of how your finished the duck recipes. Also, how did you make your walk-in refrigerator? Is it costly to run? Thank you.

Everything is done with such confidence and Grace. I love your style of vlogs and the editing is magical. Happy New Year from Ottawa, Canada xo

Love to see ya'll work so well together in harmony. Good Food! Really Good Food!

Hello! Loved watching this! I had a quick question! I LOVE the idea of making a walk in cooler.. how did you make it? I’ve seen a ton of people using air conditioning units, but since your cellar is underground, how do you keep it cold? I want to do something similar in the future but just collecting ideas! Thank you for all you do and adding so much beauty into the world through your videos!

Would love to see how you did the walk in refrigerator and how it works! Great video as usual!

Loving your videos Thanks for sharing your lives with us and keep the garden tips coming.Oh and dinner looked great

:)

I find this so fascinating and would love to try this when I purchase my own home. Personally I'm vegan, but not judging your way of life in the way you care for your family! Also all that saurkraut looks heavenly haha.

I love all your videos... Im living vicariously through your family. Watchibg your videos is like watching a movie, I love your family. Thanks so much 🙏

i love your channel! can you please do a video on how you lacto ferment your veggies and how you make pickles and what other veggies you preserve!

Oh love love love the cellar. My dream!

One of my favorite videos. Thanks for sharing this!

You’re living my dream life.🏡💕

This is amazing. I wish I was at the level you were all at. I have so much to learn please keep the videos and books coming.

Great video! Love the root cellar!!! And the cabbage and duck looked incredibly delicious! I was wanting my cabbage really bad when I saw you making yours ! :)
