You guys have no idea how much joy you bring to me on a daily basis!… I totally locked onto your UA-cam program several months ago and have devoured them! Every single day I spend some time with you guys and everything you do absolutely fascinates me!… I love the chemistry you have together I love you each individually and even your dogs and more importantly I am absolutely astounded at the results of your Teamwork and boundless energy! Thank you for such a wonderful vicarious life!
Michael Berg thank you ☺
I feel the same way. Their life is so interesting.
I wish someone will pay for them to go around to Colleges and speak of their Lifestyle !! amazing couple. Organic, Environmentally conscious, Debt free, living off of the land.
@@debbiee7850 Amen for sure!
👍👍👍
I enjoy watching you two with your canning and food prep. You don't waste a lot of time yapping like some people do - you get right to it.
I agree with this 110%!!
@@wolffortenberry33 If you want to hear some yapping, go on THE 'CHEF AJ' channel; she does a lot of yapping but has some really good recipes & ideas.
That said, this video is still too long. I don't care to see all the gory details, just the pertinent facts. Seriously... who has the time?
@@cxoot in a world where I am constantly being rushed, I personally enjoy taking a minute to sit back and relax and enjoy their videos. I think it’s a perfect length video. The quiet and peaceful sounds of the outdoors without all the sound pollution is lovely to hear, even if it’s from my phone or TV.
I like to dry the celery leaves and some stalks and then grind into a power to use as a flavouring and to make a celery salt. You should give it a try.
I do the same thing. Wonder blast of flavor.
I have done this too. No more buying celery seed for seasoning -- I use this instead.
I think she said it's pulls to much power to do that.
That's what I do Alex. it makes the best celery salt. When I get the fresh leaves I also make a lovely pot of soup as well as several stews and casseroles (which to us Aussies is basically stew but done in the oven, stew is done on the stove top). The flavour of the leaves is intense. Michelle
@@delphine88313 you can hang the leaves like any herb and let them dry over time.
My mom always used the celery leaves in her home made spaghetti sauce, never wasting anything. I do the same, loving the flavor of the celery in the sauce. Beautiful stock! It’ll make wonderful recipes!
Its nice to see someone else who likes celery in their sauce. It just brings a bit of yum to the sauce .
The leaves are the best part of the celery plant, they infuse such a delicate flavour, my Nonna would make the most amazing tomato salad using the celery leaves and the heart of the plant, so yummy
I know there are a ton of nutrients in those celery leaves. I would use them for a layer in that permaculture and to feed the chickens since the storage space in limited and winter is already hitting Alaska.
Was going to say the same thing, also good in soups etc
I like celery too but the leaves can make it bitter
You two are like the olympians of off grid, pioneers! I watch a lot of gardening shows, but yours is truly hard work and perseverance for the end result. Totally amazed and look forward always to the next bonanza!! Job well done!
Be careful your jars have leaks in them!!
har hardy har har
Leeks, or Leaks? 😊😊😁😁
@@peacefulwife5199 both!😂
Absolutely love how we’re getting more and more of your authentic, relaxed conversations and interactions as time goes on! Makes your videos that much more personal to watch!
Having to live vicariously through you since we weren't able to get our garden going this year. Nice job guys.
Can you please do a pressure canning 101 video? Like how you started with canning, tips and tricks, issues you encountered over the years. Would def help this canning newbie whos also a nervous wreck 😅
I second this! I’m very new at canning ironically since following SLA, I’d love to know more.
Guildbrook Farm actually has a very good Canning 101 video from a couple of years ago. It really helped me take the plunge.
Check out Rebel canners on FB. Lots of teachers over there!!!
I have never seen a more beautiful batch of celery ever!! Your entire garden this year was absolutely beautiful. Every carrot, leaks parsnips, everything just says "life." Love all of your canning and meal preps. I enjoy all of your videos. God bless.
I must be kind of fun and also very satisfying, being warm and cozy in your cabin on a cold winter day, surrounded by all that good food you have put away. A warm cup of soup on a cold dark day, has to be satisfying. Thanks for sharing the experience.
Whenever I watch your videos I always think the dogs are filming you 😂 since youve got different angles of what you guys are working on. Ik it can be time consuming. Appreciate filming it all for us!! Thanks❤️
Oh dear, I laughed way too hard at 'nachos' 😂😂
I love y'all's channel. I prefer how you introduce your goal, tell what you will do, how to go about it, get 'er done and show finished "product". Many channels aimlessly wander or spring from one thing to another and show no real accomplishment. That's their prerogative, but I often find them tedious and skip through or not finish. Congratulation of a quality channel that is a good teaching tool for others who wish to live sustainably and try to lightly touch the earth. Keep on keeping on. Joy Giles
Will you be doing another “only eat what you grow” challenge this year? I’d like to see it!!
Di you keep the celery leaves, I buy celery with lots of leaves and use that in my soup as well. You would have a mother load of celery leaves once dried.
You beat me to the punch...this is my first year gardening. The celery was a success I will dehydrate the leaves.
You guys are livin’ the dream!♥️👍🙏🇺🇸🤓
The leaves have the best flavor! Yummm.
I am not a fan of parsley, but I like to use celelry leaves as a replacement.
I threw my celery leaves in a cotton pillowcase and hung it in my basement to dry. Smells so good. I am putting them into jars now. I saw this somewhere to dry flowers and leaves so wanted to try it. It worked!
I check everyday for new videos. Thank you for your channel and letting us all into your lives. It so nice to see a young couple work together, work hard and not a cross word between you. At least not that we see. Again, thank you.
Have you subscribed? It's totally free, just a way for UA-cam to let us keep up with our favorite channels. Also, when you click on the bell, make sure you set it to "All". Then, you'll get a red bell at the top of the page (notification) to let you know there's a video to watch.
I just can’t help but wonder, who gives these videos a thumbs down?! I love what you both share with us and wish for more! It’s so informative and unique!
People that are upset that they didnt use the whole celery leaf!
Those celery leaves are free fertilizer so no waste there people
I think its envy. I know I'm envious but not jealous, well maybe just a little. I'm so grateful they share with us and I can forget all the negativity for a short period. I stretch it my rewatching it a couple of times.
@@dinahquillen9380 Same!!! If they post early in the day I wait until the evening to watch to help me calm down from the days craziness!
@@CommonGroundGardens YES!! Fertilizer and/or chicken treats :) I've never seen them waste a single thing...they never cease to amaze me
I love your blue pilgrim design Pyrex bowls! It's my favorite design. I'm a homesteader at heart and live vicariously through y'all! ☮️ Peace and love 💜 from Kimberly in South Dakota 💙❤️
Pyrex calls it "Butterprint" and it's my favorite, too!
Also I can't wait to have my own little backyard farm, I think soup, sauces and broths will be the main way I preserve my food. Especially since soup is great for wintertime.
Gosh, another great video! You guys work so hard. Whenever I see celery I am reminded of my mother who always put celery leaves in the oven - the oven had a pilot light and the heat from it worked as a dehydrator. You always had to check the oven for random celery leaves before you did any baking!
Your videos are a joy to the senses - the crunch of the celery, the vibrant colors of the vegetables; I could almost smell the dirt in the garden and feel the icy coldness of the well water.
Thanks for sharing your journey.
"Canning celery stock." Wait. Are they making stock from just celery or are they canning celery stalks? Crap. Now I have to watch this RIGHT NOW to find out!
Both, hehe
Celery,carrots, herbs oh my!!!
You 2 are definitely set for winter! That must feel so good :-)
That looked so good. I don't have a pressure cooker, and I miss out on so many things. What I can't water bath I freeze what I can. Some things don't work well for freezing though. I do the best I can though. Never tried cow boy candy though. May be next year! The one thing I canned that I should have done more of is salsa! Keep up the good work. Stay warm this winter.
Hi SalLee, I hope you see this. There is a channel called "Make it Make," where she interviews American Amish community members. They waterbath everything - meat, vegetables, etc. Even low-acid veg like green beans, they waterbath. Most things are about 3-4 hours and a good glug of vinegar to add acid. Another channel called RoseRed Homestead also goes over WBing everything. It is possible, and I hope this encourages you to try things you're missing. I don't mean to take away from this excellent channel, but to share information. Have a great day.
Been bottling all year and just did 18 pints of strawberry jam!!
Ugh, I miss homemade strawberry jam. My grandma made tons of it when we were young 🥰🥰🥰
@@susieast450 I do love it. But we also got a couple dozen of each, berry (mixed), apricot, peach, elderberry, huckleberry, raspberry and apple butter. Not to mention elk, deer, homegrown beef, plus all types of veggies. Not to mention all the dry storage goods hehe. Food shortage, where? lol wish people understood how easy it is to be self reliant.
@@williamrobinson3664 Sounds wonderful!
I have become 20% more healthier watching this video. I love picking out vegetables from my tiny garden.
I gasped when you trimmed & dropped those celery leaves. Save those celery leaves, old time recipes that call for soup leaves, mean celery leaves. Hand em to dry. We dehydrate and grind for seasoning. And make beau monde with them. Tasty stuff!
You are busy preparing winter food~
Thanks for the helpful video!
Be healthy^^
I love the crunchy chop sound.
Right? ASMR without even trying :)
@@amyhendricks3627 I personally don't even like asmr but this sound I could listen to for hours...
@@M1NDCR4WL3R there is definitely something very satisfying to it!
What a great team y'all are! Young, beautiful, and so smart! It's most fun for me to see the incredible meals y'all dish up! Oh yeah, you're both gourmet chefs! Take care, and be safe!
You guys have a great system worked out. My wife lived in Alaska for a long time, and I can’t wait to check it out!!!
yes dry the leaves.. makes such a good additive to anything.
I agree. Dried celery leaves make a great spice, especially for meats and soups.
I sell just the leaves--once people tried them as a flavoring, they're one of my hottest items. Cook them all together, even if you want to cut them off first. Fish them out before canning. They'll never be chicken food again.
You guys are amazing. I love watching you come up with everyday recipes with fresh ingredients!
It would be cool to see a day in the life headed to town. Do you guys eat out while there? Take us along where you buy most of your food supplies like olive oil, flour, salt etc. Keep being awesome!🙂
Dried Celery leaves are a great seasoning in soups and stews. We even use them as a salad green.
They wasted all ....🙄
SEDDY KHAN we do not consider it wasteful, our garden soil is living and it needs to be amended, hence why we leave roots and give back the parts of the plants we do not consume. Sometimes it is preference, many times we feed our chickens with our produce and sometimes it is just because of the sheer volume of produce we generate. It was the soil, nature, and organisms that are responsible for the produce and why we feel the least we could do is return some of the nutrients.
@@SimpleLivingAlaska I was wondering why toss leaves, but makes sense.
I feel so much cooler just watching your videos as you head into winter, 30dC here in southern Tasmania, and humid YUK! As always I admire you from afar, and how you really provide for yourselves. The hard work you both do for your life is shown and demonstrates to those who inspire to do as you have How much effort time and enthusiasm (constantly) to get up and do what has to be done. Thank You both.
Over the past 3 weeks, we have binged your videos from the day you left Oregon until today. Your energy is rejuvenating. Our plans for 2021 have doubled. (zone 3b Wisconsin)
Keep cooking at the end of these!! I love it!!😊
Love the explanation of how you’ll be using the soup and all the extras of what else you can do w said soup! Love me some garden and cooking videos! Keep ‘em coming!! (And loved the ASMR of the crackling fire place in the back ground!!)
BS"D
You are such a special couple in many ways and wanted to thank you so much for sharing with us your beautiful life together
Thank You From my heart, you both continue to amaze me! So grateful for wholesome content! OMG. Love the soup! Blessings from northern VT.
My husband and I live in southwest CO just 20 miles from AZ. in the San Juan Mountain Range at 7,650 feet.... we love watching your channel... we just discovered it a 4 months ago and we enjoyed so much of what you are sharing we went back to the very beginning of your videos. We are preparing to move back to the midwest, Nebraska and are looking forward to having a garden again .... as we live in the High desert here and without a grow dome not much does well here. You are so impressive with all you cooking, gardening, building etc. Thank you for sharing your life with us all!
"Are you eating them with the dirt and all?" This sounds like some of the conversations i have with my wife at our garden plot
They washed those vegetables until they were squeaky clean. I'm surprised you didn't watch that.
@@dinahquillen9380 Hey buddy it's a quote from 0:55 seconds in and a lighthearted comment - I'm surprised YOU didn't watch that. Stop trying to white knight people don't even know. You sound pathetic.
Being a senior citizen, I’m on a limited income. So I dry by bunches hanging or in the oven with only the light left on. It may take a little longer to fully dry but the taste is the same. 😁
Love watching your videos. Wonderful looking vegetables and soups. Yummy 😋 🥕🧄🥔🌮
question for you guys/any botanists here... Say you live here at your beautiful place for 10... 20... 30.. years, and continue to grow and harvest these fruit and veg. What happens to crop yields over time? Do the nutrients in the soil eventually deplete/become used by growth? What can one do to "futureproof" against soil that may produce lesser yield over time? Just curious.
Do you add nutrients back into the soil via other methods like manure or compost? Thanks!
You got me hooked on making celery stock this season when I saw your video from last year, thank you! Always had more than I could use "fresh" and gave away alot. Now, it's a different story and will plant even more next spring. I threw in some of my extra leek as well and froze the stock. It's awesome.
Your garden has done amazing this year, and with the moose, you guys are blitzing it
Remember it was Ariell's moose, couldn't resist.😏
Your channel always brings out the wanderlust in my heart, and brings some peace to this current crazy, chaotic world.
Peace from Michigan ☮️
Dang look at all those leaves and celery!! Yes I'd use it all!! The leaves are awesome in beef stews and soups!!
I’m in love with y’alls pups and your property is absolutely gorgeous, sending love from a Texan who is dreaming of snow❄️🤣❤️
Ack! You can also dry slices and dry and pulverize the leeks. I have limited space so tiny fridge, tiny freezer and few closets to store anything. Since I love the flavors of summer I can still get the tastes of my favorites throughout the winter with the minimum need of space. A little pinch of this or that adds loads of flavors and memories.
What a great idea! Do you use a dehydrator vs. the oven and if dehydrator do you have a recommendation?
@@RatTaxi I have a 1970s era Ronco dehydrator that I added a solar powered fan to. Load it up and it makes (relatively) short work of drying out anything during the hot summer months.
Great job guys!! Love to see those great meals you make😋 I’m growing leeks for the first time this year. Here in SoCal I’m hoping to still get a harvest this year🤷♀️
Wow. I know you guys work super hard, but seems like a cool lifestyle if your physically capable. haha.
Your garden grows so well up there, those carrots were huge. That was some good looking soup and stock, outstanding!
Great video! I about lost it when I saw how long your celery was! My husband says now you’re going to want to move to Alaska just to grow huge beets and celery, lol!
Love watching you guys....lived in Alaska for 6 years....had the wrong partner...you guys really work well together...love the trips and the every day stuff... My favorite are the fishing trips....Your garden is wonderful...Good for you guys.....i live in CA now and I put thick rubber bands around my canning jars to help stop breakage during earthquakes, They act as bumpers. During the shaking. I've had no breakage....you might want to try that there....God bless you both!
Watching you guys is my latest fad. I have never lived like you but I've always wanted to.
What kind of background do you two have when it comes to gardening and cooking? Your recipes are sensational.
Eric's shirt when he's cooking! 😂😂😂
So clever!
I've never tried canning soups and stock. I think it's a great idea when you have a surplus of veggies that won't store for long.
I like Arielle’s wish!! We think alike. 👍🏻
Have you considered using row tunnels in the future to extend your season at all? I don't know if it would work in AK the way it does here in WI.
You two are amazing! I love your videos. Simple life, hard work, enjoying nature. I need to do more meal in a jar type canning like this.
You guys are the best! 💛 Celery leaves are great in stocks and soups, I love when I see others use them 💛
Awww, Loved the wishbone. I always thought though that the one that got the broken winning bone made the wish after. I actually like it this way :) Yummy broths and stocks wow that is so much work you both make it look so simple. But bravo to you because it is not. hugs
Hahahahaha Eric’s finger can never stop pointing ☝️ It’s so 😂 hilarious 😂 💕
When you were draining the celery for stock over wire it reminded me of Immokalee Salad. During the Harvest Festival in Immokalee, Florida, plywood and 2x4’s are nailed together and placed over sawhorses. Ice is placed over the plywood and then harvested veggies are cut into chunks over the ice. Some of the best tasting tomatoes and cucumbers are grown in that area of Florida. Fave this video is the Potato leek soup and if course a stroll down memory lane.
Your garden was the most beautiful garden, so choked full of so much! I’m envious of your gardening abilities! Very impressed with all your work!
Ur garden is amazing and beautiful u two are awesome 💕god bless with all the hard work
Thank you so much for your wonderful videos. So inspiring. This is just what my brain needed to unwind! Much love, thanks for doing all that you do!
These are some of my most favorite videos you do!! The practicality of things is what I love. All your videos explaining practical skills and recipes are very straight forward without the unnecessary babble that so many other creators include. Thank you for such quality content and taking the time to share your knowledge and make these videos!! 💜
You 2 make me so hungry...lol Thanks for sharing!!!!
Wow everything looks so good! One jar per meal, you guys are so amazing together. I love all your videos
Just wanna say, Everywoman needs an Eric!
Do y'all sell some of your vegetables at a Saturday market? They look so good.
Seems like you have more than two can eat over the winter ? Do you sell/ barter some ?
Hey Arielle? Can you do a video on how you use your ACV in your hair? I have a batch fermenting.
They should renamed to: CANNING ALASKA...🤪
or Tasty Alaska because that's what it is, all tasty and yummy 😋
Teamwork makes the dream work!
Leftand210 Perfect!
Your garden just looks awesome. I have been trying to learn to garden for several years now, without much success. Have been watching you and planning for next year.
I do awesome with Aerogardens though. Got my herbs and lettuce started for the winter a couple of weeks ago - I do love watching the plants come up!
That potato leek soup is something i want to try!!!!!
You can dry veg outside on a screen frame. Free by nature.
I am always so happy when I get the notification that there's a new video! I love potato and leek soup...keep up the good work
Amazing Celery! Looks so good
You guys should check out Living Tradiotons Homestead. They bought a home freeze dry machine.
Sam Sung excellent channel :) we have a smaller solar system and minimize our energy use year round.
I just searched their links to dehydrating: ua-cam.com/users/results?search_query=Living+Tradiotons+Homestead+dehydrator
because all the stuff I dehydrated, I didn't want to eat when winter came. I want to learn how to make dehydrated veg to make home made dips and soup like Knorr. Thanks, Sam.
The celery leaves are super flavorful. I dry them to use as an herb in cooking.
Presentation of your food makes me hungry. Well done!
You guys are so efficient, and you have so much energy to make a nice dinner after that much canning effort! You're a good team and a pleasure to watch.
Holy cow! Love those big ol' stock pots! Reminds me a lot of the large pots (graduated to Kegs when we started doing all-grain batching) we do home-brew (BEER) in.... then those herb "socks" are a lot like the hop bags we use to keep all the hops from pluggin' things up when you drain/empty the keg(s) into your carboy). I know I've mentioned this before, but continue to ENJOY/LOVE the way y'all do your videos.... just working and talking together like normal instead of talking AT the camera/us constantly like so many channels do.... meh... lol. Sooo, I guess Eric won.... the wishbone thingie.... since I didn't see any NACHOS at the end of this video..... HI-larious!.... LOL! ;-)
Yummy looks good can I PLEASE go join you BOTH lol just LOVE WATCHING your AMAZING cooking videos LOVE you BOTH PLEASE STAY SAFE
Oh I forgot to say to also dry your mushrooms. When they are dried I pulverize them into a fine powder (I use a herb/ coffee grinder).. so easy to add a pinch or two for a great fast bang of flavor in stews, soups and even eggs!
Pretty sure they dried a lot of the mushrooms they harvested this year :)
Exceptional stock and soup...why no celery leaves though?! I find them an awesome seasoning especially with certain salads; chicken, potato, etc... you could dehydrate the leaves even without using electricity. No judging here, just wondering. 🤪 ❤
Everyone is hyping up dried celery leaves, Im Puerto Rican, so I have never tried that. Sounds fun, I have a dehydrator, definitely going to try it based on thr comments.
The leaves are the nutrients in it. Chop the leaves up and use in smoothies.
9 mins and 1K view already, amazing!
It breaks my heart to watch you two cut off the celery tops/leaves...that's where the ultimate flavor is....JMHO. Not trying to be 'snippy'....love your channel !!
I have to say that you 2 impress me when I was a kid. We grew up in the sticks ! We hunted we fished and had a big garden . Whit 14 kids that was our life and never did we go hungry ! We milked our cows had fresh milk every day life was a venture . With 7 boys plus my father hunting we would take at least 20 deer in a season . canning was a family thing everyone pitched in . I'm glade to see someone out there like to live like this keep up the good work stay safe and God Bless.
Please tell me you used those celery leaves in your stock!!! The tender leaves impart so much celery flavor!
One of my favourite vegetables CELERY
I love CELERY and White Sauce peppers/salt and lots of Butter
A Lamb Cutlet
With roast Potatoes
