Hey y'all, I'm Meagan. My husband Andy and I grew up in rural NC and as newlyweds, decided we wanted something more than the typical American lifestyle. So we started growing our own food, I learned to can and so started this passion of food preservation and knowing where our food comes from.
Even though we grew up around this lifestyle, we still had to learn for ourselves, the ways of our ancestors before us. We now grow a huge portion of our food, including our own meat.
High society and MSM want you to think you don't have time to grow, preserve and cook your own food from scratch, but I am here to help you along the way. As a working mother of 2 on a busy little farm, there is time, we just have to prioritize it.
Through my weekly videos, I'll show you how to prepare easy meals cooked from scratch, tips on preserving your garden harvest and the occasional farm video. Live life on YOUR terms

I've been looking forward to hear how you both updated the basement. I think the shelves with the worm holes in them fits the history of the house, wood from your land. The looks match the whole picture. They look like they have been there where they belong, being useful for the family. So very nice, hand crafted, it could not look any nicer guys. Enjoy!
Andy happy wife-happy life!! ❤❤❤❤y’all’s videos. Say HI to the kids, they help Mom and Dad that’s great. Kids thanks for being such good 👍🏾 kids. Makes Mom and Dad proud of you. I know I am! Be good, continue to bless your parents. I will be watching you helping. Sincerely.
Beautiful pantry 😍. Great job!!!
Thank you!
I love your shelves. I wish I had a root cellar!
Thank you!
What a blessing to have a root cellar and beautiful, hand milled and built shelving! Just awesome!
You are a beautiful woman inside and out. Godbless your family
Y'all got it made!
Wow, great job Andy!! And Meagan!!! That grocery store is impressive!!
I think that wood is absolutely beautiful, I just love the look of raw wood. You did a wonderful fantastic job. Megan is very lucky to have you.
This warms my heart seeing a man that can make stuff my granddaddy was a carpenter. Yah megan got u some shelves.
You are so blessed to have a root cellar! With the humidity, do your lids ever rust?
I have some rust occasionally, usually my lids will last about 3 years, then they really show their age. If they start having a ton of rust on them what ever is in the jar becomes pig food. I am trying to get better about keeping inventory on my stuff so I'm rotating through at least every other year! Thanks for watching!
You have the perfect space to store food!
Looks good and looks sturdy. Nice job Andy.
Yes, he did so good!
❤Wow!!! How cool root cellar now with shelves and y’all’s beautiful canned food …! Wow and again Yay Andy!!!
i remember going to my grandma and grandpa's farm, in the early 70's, and they actually had a root cellar built into their basement, which for the most part was an exact duplicate of the upstairs, as they basically moved into the basement suite to beat the hot saskatchewan summers. anyway, i remember one of my coolest memories was when grandma needed potatoes for supper, and me and my two sisters (mostly me) would race down into the root cellar and pull potatoes out of the dirt. i wasn't a farm kid, but we spent all our summers on the farm, from 0-18, on my relatives farms. great times and memories, and i participated in much of what you present here on your channel. your son and daughter were me and my sisters, 50 years ago. your children are blessed. and that you home school them, even more so.
Stout shelves that will last generations!
We hope so!
Love it! Great job Andy!
Awesome job Andy! Happy wife happy life.
Absolutely!
Andy did a great job on the shelves. You look so happy ❤
❤Andy did a great job! Will make your life easier! ❤
You look just beautiful today, those new shelves are awesome, Andy did a great job. Love your family and what you stand for, have a blessed thanksgiving.
Thank you so much, you to my friend!
Very nice! You all are smart people!
Thank you!
Good job Andy. That looks awesome
He really did a great job!
Rough lumber is awesome and those shelves will be there forever they are awesome. That's a whole lot of love put in jars for your family.
We just organized our "pantry" this weekend. Wow! What a chore. We don't really have root cellars in eastern Oklahoma because they tend to become wading pools. The shelves look great and you're right home canned food weight DOES add up fast.
Wow,the shelves for your canned food, turned out great. That was a big project but well worth the effort.
Andy is a good carpenter and he had plenty of good help.
Thanks Megan for sharing,You and Your Family have a Good Week and God Bless 🙂.
Oh yeah the fried pickles paid off 🙂.
Yes those pickles definitely paid off, haha! Thank you for your kind words my friend, God Bless!
That is Beautiful. 😃👍 What a blessing to have a root cellar and the shelves are awesome .🙏 Good job
Thank you!
LOVE your shelves!! Andy, Great, Great job! Meghan, I’m tickled for you even tho this is an older video. Those shelves will last many, many years!
That is awesome!! I know you are so happy and it shows all your hard work
Please do a video on making soap with the lard!!
I'll have to do that! I'm making some up the next few weeks to put in Christmas presents! Thank you my friend!
Nice job Andy!😇!😇!😇!😇!
Our root cellar is under an out building and is concrete but is too wet to store roots so I built shelves from store bought lumber over 20 year ago. It doesn't look as good as your shelves but so far they are holding up. The original ones had been eaten by termites so I had to use treated wood. This year I filled up all the pints and had to buy more, never thought I would ever have to do that, I still have some for hopefully canning some deer but the cellar is full. I have the roots in the cellar under the house like you do, Lookin good!
Awesome!!
Oh amazing
Andy you are a blessing handy and ready
That's great . Wonderful job. Every woman's dreams a pantry. Aren't we suck a high $ expensive wife. You go I almost got a fever how could I hand dig under a room without hitting the septic line 🤣🤣🤣. Really appreciate it. Great video especially Andy and his God given talent his own wood and cut and dried. God's blessings keep it going. So happy for you it's the little things that tickles us. ❤️🙏
Absolutely! I told Andy some ladies ask for expensive jewelry, I just want some shelves, haha!
Great job! Those shelves could hold a ton. They will help hold the house up.😃
As always…great content! ❤
Thank you so much!
That is sooo cool. I just love it.
Beautiful job!❤
Is that orbs in the video or dust? Cellars and basements are so creepy. 😂
Omg love it …it will do the job
OK, I’m jealous, what a nice root cellar you have. I think you’re right I don’t know of anybody that actually has a root cellar unless they have a very old house so yes, that’s very unique.
I know how you feel 😊my husband just finished a project I wanted him to do for a long time
I turned our large coat closet into a Butler pantry I was so excited I took a picture of it and sent it to all my family, I know how you feel about those store bought shovels 😫 they can’t handle what we put on them it nice to have everything organized in the pantry he did a great job on the shelves for you . Take care
Neat shelves
I love that root cellar. We had one under the house I grew up in.
I remember when I was young and had the energy to do the honey due lists lol
Your cellar looks just like mine, I have mine stocked to the max. It makes you feel good to have so much goodies stored away. Good job girl!!
Yes it does!
Wish I had root cellar or basement! Looks great!
Thank you!
Looks amazing
I loved the cellar at my grandma's house
This is cool. We cannot do that or our house would not still be up. haha
Haha! This was dug before the house was built, door was originally outside, but the house was added on to in the 50's then in the 70's and now the door is inside the house. Thanks for watching!
Good job looks great!!!
Thank you!
Nice ❤💕
I love your new shelves and root cellar. Wish I could have one but here in NW Arkansas there's so many huge rocks building down is cost prohibitive.
Good on y’all
Great job. We live on SW Florida and can't have anything under ground. The eater table is to high.
I meant the water table is too high
❤
Please buy a dehumidifier for your canning lids and the new wood..
Have you ever dug a hole kind of a deep hole put your potatoes in there and then cover it back up they used to do that years ago
Do you have water and bedding down there as well?
We do have water, but no bedding. This is more of a storage cellar than anything. I wouldn’t hesitate to throw down a blanket and sleep if it came down to it tho!
Are you gonna put a backstop to keep from pushin' thru?
We decided to leave it open for now because of where the light is positioned, it would be blocked if the shelf had a back. Fingers crossed I won't push any through, ha! Thanks for watching!
Do you have concrete floors? Or peer and beam??
🥳
Is that dirt around the sides?
Nice I’m Jealous
How does a chicken eat lard?
That makes me feel colstaphobia
Sorry about that. I hope y’all can get my message alright. I crazy stuff like that all the time and I don’t know 🤷♀️ how I did it. Sincerely.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
More speeches lumber from the ground yaw Milling’s Andy building shelf’s my husband made may shelf’s Done have a seller or basement I use a extra bedroom
HSincerely. owdy y’all. You guys could get a avk indehumidifier and use it in your basement when need be. I picked one up cheap at a yard sale; worked great still does and I paired fifteen dollars for it
Great job it looks great
