Hope you have a dehumidifier for that pantry and a Generac Whole House Generator with a 1,000 gallon propane tank.
No one has to apologize for stocking STORE BROUGHT items! Whether they are ORGANIC OR NOT! Build your 'Working Pantry' based on what *_YOU_* can afford and what you want or are willing to EAT! The more people who are PREPARED, the FEWER people on the streets looking for FOOD and the LESS people TARGETING YOU!
Amen! I totally agree that people need food, regardless or organic or not. My son has a severe allergy to pesticides (several ER trips because he broke out in hives and couldn’t breathe), so for us organic is needed.
But even still! We have some non organic things one hand that my husband and I could eat if needed, so James could stay organic 🙌❤️
I buy organic everything as well..why would anyone care?
Exactly! I dont understand why people apologize for that
Your pantry, your home is beautiful. Thank you so much for showing us your food storage. I am so happy for you to have such a magnificent place, to live and store your supplies.
Thank you!
BEST video I’ve seen yet!! No loud music, straight up and to the point, no BS. Great info. You know what your doing. Thank you 😊 New sub here. Thank you Mam. ❤️❤️
Aww, thank you so much! I had music on my very first video (that also had talking) but ditched it on the rest!
Thank you for your interesting video. You must have a very large family. I really love the storage shelving and baskets you are using as well as the little counter with lower cupboards at the entrance. I have been prepping for the past two years on a limited budget but have completely different foods as I put my full focus on home pressure-canned foods and have about 250 jars put up now. I made things like beef stew, baked beans, lamb stew, chili con carne, beans with ham, Spanish Garbanzo soups, and beef with broth, chicken, bacon and chicken together, sausages, lots of broths, pork with bacon, chicken and bean soup. With the way prices are going up I thought the best was to put up a lot of these kind of foods. I made quite a bit of Ghee as it keeps forever. I bought quite a bit of canned tuna, salmon, sardines, & smoked sprats, clams, oysters, and mussels and corned beef & ham from Denmark. Just a few cans of fruits and vegetables, not so much of that. Lots of dried peas, beans, lentils, garbanzos, and some rice and a bit of flour. We all eat differently. I have a good stock of all the toiletries, first-aid and cleaning supplies... I am alone at 76 to do all this myself.
Only one kid and husband
I love your pantry! I'm sure you've thought of this but just in case you haven't or someone else is reading this, I recommend having several large ice chests on hand. If electricity goes out in an ice storm, you can transfer freezer items to the ice chests and store them outside. Years ago our power went out for a week. The temperatures were in the teens so I put perishables in ice chests on the front porch. I was surprised how many people in our area didn't even think of that and just ended up losing everything.
Thanks for that Great reminder, I wasn’t thinking of that. So much I’m trying to get ready and that’s something to know and I’m grateful you shared here for us ❤️
Maybe in time. Solar power the freezers. I'm trying to brainstorm my future homestead. Thank you for sharing your story
In Alaska, we can save electricity by keeping our deep freezers outside in the winter. We can have them out, depending on the temps, anywhere from October to April
This is great..love the pantry. I would like for you to ignore the trolls who talk about marauders showing up and taking your food. This country has too much food it wastes and throws away for such a scenario. You are helping people with great ideas. Thank you.
Do you really think you have the manpower to field a squad of likeminded people willing to die for you on a 24 7 rotation and the supplies to feed each other for more than a week then you will turn on yourselves 28days is avg before cannibalism starts to happens this is proven fact from surviors at sea and plane wreck in Andes your veneer of Humanity fades really quick when your starving to death
People fucking riot over televisisions on sale on black Friday what do you think those same mobs will do when they are hungry???
When I was growing up in Florida we had BBQs when hurricanes knocked the power out for several days. Some canning happened, too. But the preps were mostly canned goods and we didn't store a lot in the refrigerator or a feeezer until we got a generator. We knew to eat from the fridge first while firing up the BBQ grill. Then wait for some of the meat to thaw. It is always wise to have a plan.
Nowadays, even with backup generators, we don't put that much in the freezer. Our garden is mostly canned, pickled, fermented, and dehydrated. Some chopped celery, onion, carrot, and cabbage is in the freezer to extend the life of those vegetables.
Yes, I've been there too, grew up in Houston. It's NOT fun to lose food! We have a canning/smoking/drying plan that would get the food out of the freezer and preserved if anything happened. But I agree, I would much rather keep things stored without the need for electricity!
Thanks for the walk through! I know you HAVE to be so excited to have all the space now!!!
Thank you for watching! Yes it’s so crazy that we had all of this food in our tiny house too… it’s no wonder we were cramped! Lol!
Good Sunday morning NEWEST FRIEND...and a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! I really like your CONTAINER STORE boxes! Despite being...60! I will be canning for the 1st time this year, so im looking forward to learning from ya'll on YT! Have a beautiful & blessed day, Victoria. LUCRETIA
Wow!! Canning for the first time?! That’s so exciting!! I have a lot of canning posts on my site and will be doing lots of canning videos shortly! Enjoy!
Things sure have changed since we meet all those years ago. You've worked so hard for this and I'm so excited for you.
It sure has! Crazy to look at us now!
It was nice to see someone storing Jovial Einkorn products. These are my favorites, but you seldom see them mentioned on prepping channels.
I feel like I've found a kindred soul. ;o) Love your pantry.
Thank you so much! Yes, very few people seem to stockpile einkorn. I’m glad I’m not alone!!
It's incredibly good to have such a huge stockade, my only suggestion, I had a large storage in my home, sadly the home burned down, lost all my stock, I suggest using a storage place for the stock, I use a heady duty trailer, if things go south, I don't need to do any loading, I get in my truck, I back up to a trailer and everything's going with me.
The first thing I noticed about stocking, as soon as the home is gone, then there's nothing left, best to spread out the supply and hide in various areas along your escape routes
Oh my gosh, I'm so so sorry to hear that. Yes, we do have some backup plans and I'm glad you do too.
@@AModernHomestead look into high temp and puncture proof tires..
That is a great suggestion. So sorry to hear about the fire. I hope that you have been able to recover.
What about a proper root cellar? That’s the direction I’ve been thinking but have soo much to do…
@@randomcole619 Great idea ❤️
Your channel was recommended to me and I’m glad I clicked on. You have a beautiful pantry and freezer area. I can’t wait to see your other videos. Happy Mother’s Day.💚
Thank you and you too!! ❤️
Spinach powder is a good idea. I blanch tomatoes to can them, and dry the skins into tomato powder. One spoonful of that stuff goes a long way
A great idea! I love sneaking veggies into our food :-)
You have an amazing pantry . Your a very smart young lady .You’ve given me some good ideas . I have very little storage space. But being a widow I can take over closets and store stuff everywhere I can.🙂 I love your home.❤️
Thank you so much! I wish you all the best with your food supply goals. We just moved out of a tiny house, so I totally understand needing to be creative with space. We stored under beds, in closets, and on floor to ceiling shelving in the dining room.
You're blown away; .... WE are blown away; thankyou from Australia for you're guided wonderful pantry tour ! Where is mine?
Oh yeah, Aust is our pantry ! We grow everything.
So amazing! Glad you have great resources!
We are definitely paying attention to what we still purchase and are working towards eliminating the need to purchase as much as possible! ❤️
To be so young, you and your husband have done a terrific job planning ahead. I've started last year. And I'm happy with what I have done but it's still a work in progress. Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much! Good for you for getting started, you're already ahead of so many!!
Beautiful Pantry. It brings me so much joy. Well done
Your channel popped up on my feed so I just watched this one. When I saw all the HEB items I looked up where you live and saw you’re in my general area (I’m in Houston). Now I can’t wait to watch the rest of your videos…particularly anything about gardening because you live in the same zone and deal with the same weather. Your pantry is amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! Thank you! Yes, my husband and I are doing a garden video together on Monday (if it can keep from raining for a bit) and I'll be post it asap!
We do the Back to Eden gardening method, which works REALLY well and requires little to zero water each year, even in Texas!
Here's the free checklist from my site on how to set it up: www.amodernhomestead.com/back-to-eden-gardening-set-up-checklist/
I'm glad you mentioned the reason why people stock up. My spouse lost their job and because we had a stockpile I was able to keep our grocery bill low and we did not go hungry at any point. Not all preppers are end of the world we're all gonna d1e types. I've even seen some couponing preppers donate part of their stockpile to shelters to help rotate their stash and prevent food waste.
Amen! Not saving food against zombies, just against inflation and job loss/weather disaster!
We also donate thousands of pounds of fresh food from our garden, it’s an amazing gift to be able to give good food. Glad others are doing it as well!
I have used dollar store bins retangular ones for my freezer. It helps store more and put like items together. I label them and it makes finding items so much more. Loved ur video!
This is a great idea! I definitely need to get something like that, wasn't sure what yet, so that's a good place to start!
This really is “pantry goals”! Beautiful, Victoria…good job!
Thanks so much! 😊
Your video popped into my feed so I watched it. Your panty is fantastic and I love the organization! Makes accessing what you’ve put up so easy but also allows you to see what’s running low. I recently started using Einkorn flour so I was intrigued seeing the Einkorn flour on your shelf! I’ll make it a point to check out your other videos. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!
You motivated me so much!!!
Great video! I’m looking forward to following your channel and learning some new things. 😀
Thank you so much! I’m glad you’re here!
WOW! Thank you for sharing your pantry with us.
Thanks for watching!
I LOVE about ideas for the dried spinach! So smart! I want to do it and learn how to make the green rice. So many good tips. We have grapes here too and I’ve only made jelly but would love to learn how to make juice. And I’m so sorry to hear about your dug trees. So sad. I’d cry too.
Fun!! I'm going to make a green rice video next week, so many people have asked for it!
Grape juice is really simple!
1. Make the grape juice by combining washed grapes and a very small amount of water (just enough to keep the grapes from scorching) in a saucepan over low heat.
2. Heat and simmer slowly until skins are soft, and the juices are released.
Gently mash the grapes with a potato masher and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Strain the pulp through a damp jelly bag, or a double layer of cheesecloth. Take the solids and either compost them, or feed them to any animals you have (we give them to the chickens and they LOVE them!)
4. Refrigerate grape juice for 24 to 48 hours to allow the sediment to settle to the bottom.
5. Carefully drain the juice away from the sediment and place juice back into a pan and heat to 190F - you can add sugar at this point if you want, but we never do.
6. Place hot juice into clean, hot canning jars, and water bath can for 10 minutes at an altitude of less than 1,000 ft. Adjust processing time for your altitude if necessary!
That's it!
Love your pantry! Giving me some great ideas for my own. Thanks so much for sharing!!
Nice set up, thank you for sharing 😊
Your set up is really amazing. You guys did an awesome job on the whole layout. Kudos.
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️
WOW... awesome pantry/food storage. I'm jealous of your set up. Nice job
Thank you!
Great video! Very cool! Keep the vids coming!
You literally have a small grocery store in your home! Pantry goals.
Right? It's so cool!
Very nicely done. So happy for you. Good job!
Thank you so much!
Nice tour & explanation Great tip on sourdough storage. I didn't realize it affected other dairy (that's why I was having issues).😊
Thank you ! You are amazing and blessed
I love all the stuff you have stored. My household wouldn’t go through near as much food as your family. We would never be able to rotate it all out. Absolutely love the idea of both dehydrating AND freeze drying. My husband is a minimalist and wants me to go down to being minimalist like him from being a borderline hoarder, lol. Not liking his way of thinking, but I love yours! Thanks for your share!
Yeah, I'm never going to make it to minimalist level, lol! We actually use our stock like a grocery store (shop from it every week and replace what we use) so it all gets rotated through.
We have a "2 year supply" of sugar, wheat, and spices... but the rest is really not 2 years, because we know we will have fresh produce from the garden. And those things don't go bad as quickly, so we will "eventually" go through them!
I don't think you can eat well and store for hard times and be a minimalist. maybe hubby needs to rethink things.
Depends on people's definition of minimalism 😊... The way I see most people explain it is "only surround yourself with things that bring you joy and the things that you need" Getting rid of excess is minimising too 😉😂
I love the lessons along with the tour. I have many ideas of your to implement.
Nice looking set up. Easy to use as well as pretty.
I think so too!
Really nice pantry!! ❤
Love it! You’ve really thought so much out
Thank you! I just checked out your channel and subbed - looks like you also have a great plan!
That's the spirit woman, keep the good work.
Your pantry is so lovely! Great job! I am so happy to have stumbled upon your channel…subbed!
Me too! Glad you’re here and thank you!
I've been watching this kind of pantry tour and prepper pantry videos on and off for several months now and find it fascinating. I don't think there is another country in the world where people feel the need to accumulate enormous amounts of food, keep half a dozen fridges and freezers running, dedicate several rooms in their house to storing food, go through the trouble of making inventories and rotating. The United States is supposedly the richest country in the world. There are probably not many places where the grocery stores are bigger, the variety of products and the package sizes larger and the food mountains higher. People show grocery hauls on UA-cam worth everything between $ 1200 and $ 2000. I have never heard of anyone spending an equivalent of that on groceries in one go in my own country. I live in central Europe. Most people's parents and grandparents here either lived through WW2 or were brought up during the postwar period. My family on my mother's side were refugees. My mother grew up poor. My family on my fathers side were bombed out in Hamburg and internally displaced several times. They had to leave their homes, friends and families behind and saw the cherished places of their childhood being reduced to rubble. My grandfather lost all his siblings to the war. It's similar in many, many families and I'm not even talking about those who came to my country later as refugees or economic migrants from elsewhere in the world. No one here keeps pantries like this. No one keeps three freezers running to store twenty pounds of store bought butter. I honestly would like to know, what drives American people to do this. Why really do you do it?
I think people have different reasons for storing food, but for us my grandfather lived through the Great Depression here, and I grew up with very little money. In fact, until just about 5 years ago we lived WELL below the poverty limit and chose the grow and store our food as a way to have good food on very little income.
This is very traditional here and has been done for many generation (growing and storing food). In previous generations we have would have made our own butter and cheese (and we have a dairy cow now and are working towards that again), but for now we do have to buy some things.
So for us it's:
1. food security even during seasons or job loss or low income
2. knowing what is in our food (food in the US is very different from food in EU, as we have many things in our food that is banned in other countries)
3. enjoying the process of growing and preserving food as a way of life.
I hope that helps!
Here in the UK, there are farmers and people out in the countryside that will have maybe 3 months worth of food. It's really only farmers who have stock to care for and don't get to town very often, or those in places that regularly get cut off in winter by heavy snowfalls.
@@AModernHomestead Thank you, Victoria, for taking the time to answer. It makes sense to me that, if you go through all the hard work of growing your own food or preparing it from scratch, you want to preserve it. People here who have a kitchen garden and fruit trees will also have a pantry (mostly they keep their canned goods in the basement) and possibly an extra freezer. A farm, of course, will have some sort of commercial solution. And a homestead needs something in between. Also, I am aware that the quality of food in the USA can be poor as regards nutritional value and that in processed foods especially a lot of additives are permitted which are banned elsewhere. Thumbs up for eating clean. If you live remotely or decide to buy in bulk (like through Azure), it also makes sense to buy a couple weeks or months worth. But somehow stocking up on years worth of groceries to create food security doesn’t translate. The extra space in the house needed, the energy used to keep extra freezers and fridges running, the investment of buying the appliances and the food. All that adds up to thousands. If anything unforeseen happens - like the car or the washing machine breaking down or loosing your job -, wouldn’t it be better and create more flexibility to have an emergency budget of, let’s say, $5,000-10,000 than twenty pounds of butter, half a cow and a hundred pounds of flour in your pantry? If you loose your home and have to move to a smaller more affordable place, can you really take a truckload of food and appliances with you? And talking in prepper terms - which I know you are not a prepper - in case of a flood, a tornado, a forrest fire, a nuclear event, a longer power outage all or part of that investment will be gone. It actually just takes something stupid to happen like a broken pipe in the house or an unexpected pest getting into the food. Europe wasn’t spared by the great depression. There was a famine during the harsh winter of 1946/47. People starved and froze to death. In the mid fifties my mother as a child lived in constant fear of being evicted. After uni when my parents had their first jobs my mother said they earned so much money they didn’t know what to do with it. At that moment she could have afforded an extra room for a pantry, a house with a kitchen garden, two freezers or ten, whatever. But no, we lived in a rental apartment and as a family of four ate out of a 9 cu. ft. fridge-freezer-combination and a single pantry cupboard. We never had more than one opened and one spare (two pound) bag of flour in the house. In fact there was a reluctance to buy more than you really needed and risk it going to waste. Storing large amounts of food without needing them somehow was wasteful in itself and maybe even felt greedy. Why? Because while my mothers family struggled to fill their kids bellies and pay the rent, people next door were feeding perfectly good potatoes to their pigs. I think it’s an underlying cultural thing - there’s no judgement. Have a good Sunday. And all the best success with your channel and your business.
Not all Americans do this. I quite think it’s silly. I focus more on savings to get thru a job loss then storing 2 years of food.
I’m so impressed and in love with your pantry! I’ve moved more towards shelf stable foods because our freezer died “after” the power came back on following an outage. So far we can’t get the parts to fix it and this happened in January 2022. This was the third or maybe fourth time we lost a majority of what was stored in a freezer we’ve had. To me it’s truly not worth storing huge amounts of food in something so possibly prone to outages and breakage. We’ll likely get another one soon but I don’t think I’ll ever use it the same way I’ve done in the past. Good luck with your move!
I know that pain all too well, it’s one of the reasons why we use our freezers sparingly and with a full contingency plan. I’m sorry you experienced that as well! 😓❤️
I live in fear of my freezer dying. Right now it is packed with beef, chicken, pork, fish. I keep trying to eat it down, but when I see meat at a good price, I can't seem to resist buying it. I don't have a dehydrator or frezer dryer...wish I did. Diane in NC
@@jimmiepatrum can can can. We are doing just that to save our meat supply. Grid goes down it will be tough enough figuring everything out let alone standing there weeping over wasted good food. I’m 76 and am vacuum sealing, canning, everything I have. Generators will only run as long as you have gas. In the time they start and we run out I will have to have food storage figured out. At least we have the means to store it and the love and knowledge of the Lord to give us peace no matter what happens. We do the very best we are capable of (pushing it a little) and lean on Him for the rest!
@@Dotalina33 Thank you, Dottie. I have an old pressure canner and I need to have it checked (the rubber gasket, I think) to be sure that it still works. I am widowed (just turned 76) and I freeze every last bit of leftovers. I also have a vacuum sealer and even a bread machine. When my husband died suddenly four years ago in a horrible accident, I think I became numb to many of the ways I used to cook for the two of us. It's only been in the last few months that I have had the heart to cook much. I have also begun to have a small garden again. So I am making progress, albeit it slow progress. You are so very right that the Lord gives us peace no matter what happens. Glad to hear that you depend on Him too. Diane in NC
@@jimmiepatrum oh I do love the Lord and have the last 47 years. He just lifts my heart as I sit and ponder all he has done for me. We have been thru so many horrendous trials as a family but almost all of us trust in Him with the end result being we have such peace and direction from Him all the time.
As we see scripture being fulfilled we know we are in the very last hour of human history before he calls our name In the Rapture and takes us home. You too.
So until then rejoice you are here to see fulfillment of prophecies. You know angels long to see it. Prophets of old longed to see what this day was about. How Peter and Paul and John and all the rest would be thrilled to see this moment.
Phil 4:4-8 directs us how to think and stay sane these days. I told my 33 year old grandson (recovering from addictions and living with us for 6 years now) that we are going to thrive not just survive these last days. (We are planning a feast to celebrate we are almost out of here). He is now walking with the lord and learning things daily.
I’m sorry I got carried away here. But just know somehow after you’ve done your part he will help you in surprising ways. Remember the widow of Zeraphath that Elisha went to? I Kings 17:7 I think. She had no food til Elisha blessed her. Now that’s good fact to hang on to. We are to be as shining lights on a hill before a dying world. Time is so short find someone to encourage and you will strengthen others by that which you have been strengthened. God speed and God bless you as you serve Him. Dottie
This video gave some
interesting info. Thank you for sharing.
I did go to the website. There were many pop up/pop in ads. I honestly prefer
to avoid those. I clicked on one article about storing potatoes. It didn’t actually talk about storing them at all. Rather, it shared five ways to process potatoes: canning; freeze drying; freezing; frying; baking. Storing potatoes doesn’t take a root cellar. People who live in humid climates can store potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, and more. Potatoes can be stored in sand or dirt in a box in a closet or dark room. As long as it’s temperature moderated.
I’m with many posters. It’s best to be prepared for less options. But with some options such as smoking or canning, be sure there is a power or fuel source available. There are many cool canning recipe books with options for variety so that food fatigue is not an issue. Additionally ensure you have a printed recipe book for emergencies so that everyone knows what the ingredients can be used for. Those are some options. Lastly don’t forget to plan for breakfasts and snacks and kids and pets.
I just found your channel and am so excited to watch your pantry tour!!
Yay! Thank you!
Wow!! Incredible pantry. I’d love for you to do a video of FAQ’s and include your Einkorn Food line store. Why you started it, what items you carried, why you closed it and if you’ll ever start it up again.
Thank you!! I go into that in depth here! ua-cam.com/video/91i9h3jOq2s/v-deo.html
Hello 👋 I'm a first time viewer and I'm very impressed with what you have done 👍 great job. This is exactly how you survive in bad times 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you and welcome to the channel!
Loved your video, so much info.,thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Very impressed!
Thank you for sharing. This was so helpful.
So glad!
I did the same thing I started ordering dry eggs milk because we’re both elderly and we didn’t have anything and I wanted to put aside something for this pandemic but I soon found that in sealed bags of oatmeal and other food products that were sealed bugs they’re still in there and I wound up losing most of my dry ingredients I don’t stock pile like that anymore so if it works for you great but I sure did turn them to the side and looking could see small ants bugs whatever they were just having a good all-time in there
This is amazing! Goals for sure!
Thank you!!
Your food storage is awesome!!!
Thank you!! 😊
We built an outdoor kitchen away from the house where we have a 5 burner propane stove. That’s where we can most things now. Maybe you should consider that!
Yes! That is our backup plan for if the power went out!
Very impressive!
Wow, that is very impressive
I love this pantry everything is so well organized.👍✌️👋🏼👏🏼🙏🏽🇵🇷🇺🇸
I absolutely love your Pantry door 🚪 😍
Thank you!! 😊 Me too!! I'm trying to decide if I'm going to paint it or stain it... I'll probably stain it and if I don't like it I can just paint over it
I love the einkorn flour! It didn’t mess up our bellies at all! We’re a family of 11. We have very similar things in storage. Hoping there’s no need for this.. but crazy times seem to be a thing on the horizon unless everyone’s wrong?! Lol 😂
Great space! Very nicely done. Just an idea, you can mylar bag with oxygen absorbers some of your flour. Basically any that you wouldn't use in the next year. Keeping it fresh longer. Once any grains are ground to flour their shelf life decreases. Most importantly is to keep all dried pantry goods cool, dry and dark conditions. I rotate 5 gallon buckets of flour, back up berries with my grinder.
Again, just ideas. We all do what works best for us. God bless!
You are so blessed!
We truly are! I’m going to do a video on building a quick 4 week supply soon to help others get started too!
Amazing pantry!
Thank you
I love your set up
I have one very similar but for only 1 person and 3 small dogs.
Actually I can feed several for a very good amount of time- so those I love who are clueless to covering their own needs…
Purposely vague here 🤭😉
I was damaged while riding my bike on the sidewalk 12 years ago that changed my life.
I’ve always had a extreme pantry from being schooled by my grandparents who were young in the depression.
I am also a degreed chef prior to my accident. And the world crisis…. I could always put a lovely meal together, from my pantry and freezers.
I have generators now.
For my freezer and fridges
My pantry is heavier too.
I also can and dehydrate
Would adore a freeze dryer
I have all the other bits.
Although I need a pressure canner….
Glad I found your channel
I'm so glad you have a good supply too, it's so important! It's one of the reasons I share what I do, I want people to be able to start their own supplies too
remember to freeze the flour 24 hours.then seal in 5lb buckets.
Beautiful pantry!!!!
Thank you!!
Very impressive!!!
Very interesting!
Great video
Green rice sounds delicious. I’ll probably purée the spinach and freeze dry it, thanks for the idea : )
It's SO good! I haven't found freeze drying to be worth the time it takes to rev up and down for the spinach, but if you don't have a dehydrator, or just like running the FD, then it will work for sure!
Beautiful dream pantry.
Thank you 😊
And, this is far more doable than people realize. Putting back food saves money and reduces buying items when prices are high. This helps the pantry build.
If it helps Sam's Club carries Kerrygold at more reasonable prices than Costco. If a family member has a Sam's club card have them stock up for you. I was buying Azure's Rumiano brand butter but we like the Kerrygold better. Don't apologize for buying what you do for your family. I have pantry envy. I love that pantry. That's exactly what I want in my next house. Not only do you need the room for canning, dehydrating, & freeze drying equipment but all the extra kitchen equipment for people who cook from scratch. Nice job.
Just subscribed, I love prepping videos
Awesome! Thank you!
You are incredibly wise in planning your food storage so well. I am also very impressed by your contingency plans. Everything is so neat and well organized. I am really very jealous of how big and well organized your pantry is.
I do have 4 suggestions. I saved the most important one for the last.
1. Most fats and oils will keep much longer in a cool dark place like your extra refrigerator in the laundry room. If you can’t fit them in the refrigerator, use a pull out bin on a bottom shelf with a towel over it to keep out light. Since cold air sinks and warm air rises the bottom shelf will be the coolest place in the pantry. Same advice for anything with nuts in it. The oils in nuts can go rancid so either freeze or refrigerate nuts. As an aside if nutbutters get an “off” taste, you can smear them on toast or hard dry sliced bread and poke a string or ribbon through them and hang them in the trees for the birds. It is a fun project for children. You can also press bird seed on top of the nut butter.
2. Put all of your grains in the freezer for about a week before you put them in your long term storage containers. That will kill any insect eggs that might be in them.
3. Speaking of eggs I noticed that you have a great abundance of them. You might consider Not washing the new freshly laid eggs and preserving them instead. That way you some stored in a way that does not require refrigeration.
Patara on Appalachian Homestead just did a good video on how to water glass eggs. I have seen pickled eggs for sale at the register of country stores but I don’t know how to pickle eggs. You can also freeze dry beaten eggs. And you can also beat eggs and store them in the freezer. So that gives you lots of long-term options. I know with my hens, it’s either a feast or famine when it comes to them laying eggs.
4. Most importantly, and yes, I saw that other people have already commented about this but I am going elaborate about it. We are about to have a world wide famine and people are already having trouble getting or affording certain foods. They are all ready getting desperate. I don’t have any place to hide my little 3 months food storage. People are starting to come to my door asking to borrow food and toilet paper and pet food. They never pay it back. As I was watching your video a man I had seen before, claiming to be a neighbor, knocked at my door at 2:18 AM wanting to borrow money. How much worse is it going to next month and the month after that. Let’s face it, if we were starving and our children were starving, what would we as good Christian, law abiding people do, to feed our families? Be honest inside your own head and heart. Now imagine what not so good, not so law abiding people are going to do! Please dear lady, take down this video and don’t show even your friends your wonderful food storage. Add a deadbolt to the pantry door and cover the inside of the glass part of the door with something unbreakable.
Love all these tips! I do actually do these things already, and I addressed a lot of these questions in my Pantry Q&A video here, if you'd like to check it out
Beautiful pantry share. 💚
Thank you 😊
WOW 😍 exquisite pantry
Thank you 😋
Just found this channel. I absolute love it!
Thank you and welcome!
Wow wow wow!!!! Thank you so much for the information, ideas, suggestions, tour. Very beneficial and inspirational.
Thank you so much Sheila! Are you currently working on a food supply of your own?
@@AModernHomestead Hi, Victoria.... thank you for the reply and inquiry : )
Yes, I have always had extra food.... mostly dry and canned items. I am now starting to trying to assess what I have and need to round things out. I have also started to build an emergency kit/s with non-food items. It's a LOT to think about and purchase. I like your idea of starting with a month plan- for all needed items- and then build from there. Makes good sense : ) I also just subscribed. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge. Sheila : )
@@sheilagaleano365 sounds like a great plan, you're right it's SO much to think about buying, especially all at once. Good to start as you're able and have at least some things on hand.
@@AModernHomestead ...I just read the linked information. YOU ARE THE BEST. MOST INFORMATIVE, HELPFUL. KIND PERSON! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I have everything on the first list except broccoli and apple cider vinegar (I hate vinegar...haha... usually get it out to dye Easter eggs : ) just bought some white vinegar a couple days ago because I am going to can some of the best bread and butter pickles : ).... and it will count for emergency preparedness...first aid, cleaning, etc.
I love that you give recipes for the items you chose.... that's a part I haven't thought through yet.
THANK YOU TOO THE MOON AND BACK : ))
Sheila
@@sheilagaleano365 You're so sweet, thank you! I'm glad it was helpful! The video just dropped to my channel, if you're interested in that too!
Yes, ACV is very different from white vinegar - we drink it in water and use it for bread and pancakes without needing eggs or milk!
Good luck with your pickles, that's exciting!
Muchas muchas gracias,mi hijo también tiene algunas alergias aunque no es a lo no orgánico,por lo cual debo cuidar lo que come❤🙏💕
I'm jealous of your pantry.I just started mine about 2 months ago.
Awesome! I'm proud of you for getting started, that's amazing!
no one has the excuse, you got money for Disney plus and Netflix u got money to stock ever shopping trip.little extra at a time and you can have your own little back up of food....Great video thanks for sharing.
Please do a video on the fermented cacao!
Thanks so much for the informative tour!💗
Sure! We actually just buy it, we don't ferment it ourselves, but it took us a really long time to find one that was great tasting, and processed properly. Here's the one we buy if you want to check it out: amzn.to/3Meg25a
But yes, a video on the cacao and how we use it is a great idea!
Love the organization
Thank you!!
Wow! What kind of green beans were you growing that gave you that kind of yield? Thanks for the tour, your pantry is wonderful!
Thank you! We planted Kentucky Wonder in the Back to Eden method (which already has high yields) and then the KW beans are along the same lines and the mortgage lifter tomatoes... high yields too! Add to that a really long growing season and we were REALLY happy to see that first frost come in and kill the green beans, lol!
The Kirkland butter is the best 🤩
I just found your channel! Like what I see!
Thank you so much!
We just started our homesteading channel. Right now it’s all dirt work on our 27 acres but we are ready to start with everything else. If you’re ever interested in helping us out we’d love it! Thanks for sharing all of your information. Check us out when you get a chance and tell us what you think 😁
Congratulations! That's so exciting! We just finished our house build, so I know what you're in for and it's going to be a great adventure! I wish we had been able to vlog our build, but we had too many things going on beyond the build that we just weren't able to :-(
Costco Organic Milk is incredible 🤩
hi, first timer, congrats on your new home. May it be blessed as well as your family and any animals that are there too. :) Sub'd you.
Thank you so much, and welcome!
@@AModernHomestead you're welcome
Well done my dear ..................
Thank you so much!
I'm in Central Texas. I heard HEB and it caught my attention...
Gotta love HEB!!
I enjoy looking at this oppose to a walk in closet where they show their 100s of shoes, purses, and 1000s of clothes. At least they'll look cute hungry!!!
This made me laugh! Thank you and I agree!
GOALS
I've just discovered 4 Sisters rice. Haven't used it yet, but I have some brown rice. And just now beginning to explore Einkorn flour. I've been trying to find a balance ... a substitute for regular all-purpose flour. Much to learn for an old woman of 75
Always so much to learn! I really like the 4 Sisters Rice and of course, we love einkorn! I have a few recipe videos up, and then I have almost 100 tried-and-true einkorn recipes on my site (printable). Just need to get videos for them all now ;-)
I can only think that a small generator could keep those freezers going for a while until you got everything canned up at least.
Not sure why you popped on my newsfeed but I love those eyes..
I found you through Pinterest through your squash flour blog post! I am intolerant to gluten and corn and coconut among a few things. So happy to find that you have substituted squash flour for coconut successfully. I loved your pantry tour since it seems we have similar goals even though I live in the suburbs. I love my freeze dryer and dehydrator as well.
I was curious to see where you had stored your unused canning jars and rings. Also how could you can 1500 jars of green beans? Do you have a video? I just now hit the subscribe tab.
It's good to have extra for a lot of reasons. We had done a good bit then due to medical reasons I was out of work for about 4 1/2 months. It takes care of times like that.
You can also help friends/family when needed.
Amen! That's really why we have a food supply, for all of the normal life bumps... not for a zombie apocalypse!
