Great video. What a beautiful background!!
I can’t wait to hear how your experiment turns out with Freeze Dried dill pickle chips. I just freeze dried okra pickles and they were tasty but a bit too salty with the brine that they had been soaked in previously. I probably should’ve soak them in water the previous night to rinse out some of the salt. They will make good salad croutons.
I am really encouraged by your channel. As a young mom of 3 kids age 3 and under, I am often overwhelmed with our homestead and gardens and housekeeping and prepping, etc. Side note: I have been wondering how you are both always so peppy and energetic . . . then I realized I've been watching your videos on 1.75x speed!! Lol
To carolyn, have you made a ginger bug for fizzy juicy?
This is to josh ,what are the fall veggies or fruit you should have in the ground for a spring or summer crop ?
Hey! How'd those dehydrated pickle slabs come out??
The way you looked at him as he talked about how to organize jars, and then you said, "You're brilliant." Genuine admiration from one person to another…love it.
Love you guys, you're living my dream, one day we will be on our own acreage, living in town has limited options. Love everything you've about, I am planting seeds and try some food storage ideas, it's Spring here in Queensland Australia, bless you all.
All of my jars are coming out with way more head space than needed. Are these foods safe to eat? I have some with meats and others with beans. I’m brand new to this and want to be safe. Thank you so much for any help 🙂
Happy harvest all….! Becoming self sufficient has been one of the greatest things I have done in my life…! Thrive on homesteading family…
The back drop is so stunningly beautiful!! I long to live somewhere like that! It feels so “life giving”
I actually turned on the news today 🙄 stay safe in Idaho.
Question: I am making kraut in a crock. I have mold at times. Is this ok? I scrap it off but it comes back.
Up here in Alaska we have had a cold, 🥶 wet summer. We only had a few days of upwards of 70 degrees.
Oh well, maybe next year.
LOVE your ginger-carrot ferment! My first attempt at fermenting and I’m hooked! The flavor reminds me of the sushi-style pickled ginger.
Wouldn't hurt to ask your local extension office agents if they know who in the area has dairy cows.
Thank you, blessings, julie
You talked about cureing onions
.why ? And how do you do it
Thanks
I just saw this video suggested.. Josh is a very handsome man! Just wanted to give that compliment to him and his lovely wife! You both seem so sweet and genuine! Love the flannels!!!
Have you ever dehydrated eggs…I cannot afford a freeze drier…..I almost had use of one that my x owns. My daughter asked to borrow it so she could have it at her house and we’d freeze dry foods but a grandkid blabbed I was doing it with her so he said he was using it and it’d have to stay at his house…😏I’ve been dehydrating a lot of veggies even what I call orange powder, sweet potatoes, carrots and squash….my husband won’t eat these veggies but I add them into casseroles, soups and my smoothies….
Can you dehydrate dates…..?……I’d like to have them in powder form to add to my smoothies as a sweetener….
Take those dehydrated cucumbers and make into powder which is really good added to sandwich spreads especially ham spread, egg salad and tuna salad…..sprinkle onto homemade potato chips also…yummm
For our empty jars, we place them into a heavy box with a locking air tight lid, then store the boxes under our porch.
Is there any way we can get a link to the new fermenting jars you mentioned in the video?
Cheers,

Hi Josh & Carolyn, I have a question for the pantry chat. What do you do with your hen's that are older and have stop laying eggs?
Can’t believe you are wearing warm clothes. It is 98 here on the Eastern Colorado Plains.
It’s in the mid 80’s in Arkansas and we are loving it 🙂
We have a train too, with 1 private crossing and 1 public crossing about 1 mile apart and he never blows just once. You are fortunate. Love listening to all the great questions and answers.
What will you be hunting for provision? If you're going for elk, I'd be glad to contribute in part to the tag in exchange for some potential elk meat. So good!
I want a "Josh says it depends" shirt!
Just so you know if you get a Harvest Right Freeze Dryer they DO NOT support there product….
We got our freeze dryer and it was damaged. We called them and sent pictures, they said send it back. Once they received it they refused to take our phone calls and are continuing to avoid us. We are now having to lawyer up.
What a beautiful background 🙂
I have been doing that trick on parchment crinkling it and it works good. Ty for all your wise Info..💕
I really love y’all’s channel:) and I have learned so much from you guys. I am in the cheese class and am loving it. I just wanted to thank y’all for all y’all do and share with us 🙂
I did cultures butter and the butter milk left over was pretty good. I was impressed with it. Thank you for your dairy class
carol iam looking for a good prebiotic to make
What type of flour can you use for your 5 minute bread?
Corporate conglomerate
I have really enjoyed watching my way through your YouTube channel. I've learned so much but I don't think I have heard you discuss how you handle crop rotation on your property. I'm especially curious to know how or if you rotate crops when they need infrastructure such as in the bean tunnel. Thanks!
May seem like a little off topic, but I would be interested in a list of "incognito groups" for homesteading. I personally am looking for some guinea hens but its a no no to buy sell or trade animals on face book
Felt like fall inn tx today! 78degrees from heat index 108
Josh, any tips on bermuda grass in the garden? I'm trying to expand our food production with the lasagna/no-till approach but the bermuda is more persistent than my patience right now!
FYI. Freeze dried dill pickles (or any fermented foods) are intense – almost overpowering. I have found that if I powder the pickles – I can add the powder to my base for tartar sauce, or potato salad – or make a “dill aioli. It is delish. I’ve tried freeze drying homemade sauerkraut – same thing. I haven’t had much luck with rehydration – and dried – as a snack or topping – the pucker lasts for hours 😂😂
Hi neighbors (1.5 hr south of you 😉) Thank you for all you share! We are a young family doing as much we can at our city dwelling and so appreciate gleaning from your wisdom and knowledge.
Pollinators came back to my house this year after several years without due to my across the street neighbors spraying their yard for weeds.
Great Pantry Chat! I can’t wait to hear how the “pickle chips” turned out!!!
Have y’all met Jeremy and Melissa Souza? They live somewhere near Bonners Ferry. I have no idea where that is other than looking at a map and I understand distance is measured by time and not miles just like in the Tennessee mountains.
Hi Carolyn, I was wondering if you could please let us know where you got your 'glass fermentation crock with the water seal', and what brand it is, Thank You & God Bless!
I love Your cheese class. I'm Working om my supplies. Thank you.
