reminds me a lot of my aunts kitchen,, she grew up in the depression era days and canned / jarred/ preserved everything ... when she passed ,,, she had over 3000 jars of canned / preserved food
I have lived in the city all my life and have worked in the business world....
Long retired.....am in awe at your resorcefulness...
Great job wow so organized and clean .I love your home and thank you for inviting us to enjoy it with you .Working together as a family has created a terrific home .
I wish my husband and I had done this when we were young and having kids! Our life would have been happier❕
You're crazy for having kids
@@novanhippie7048 your parents were crazy to have you. I know you're just a troll but still...
@@angelfaye101
Your right I'm your sexy dady troll...
@@novanhippie7048 virgin
@VaperZen: You have no idea how sorry I am that my husband and I did not do this.
I think your jarring is absolutely beautiful! 👍🏽
Great view of all the life, inside and out. A reverence for life, an honest life. Technical expertise, organization, planning, strategizing, collecting, storing, nourishing and nurturing. The Pratt family is in good hands. Very inspirational.
+Kathleen Gustafson Thanks Kathleen!
I've always loved the no door cabinets and cupboards. You labeled jars just make yours look spectacular.
White paint pens work great to make permanent "chalk" pens. Love your jar storage, just beautiful!
I just love your videos! I’ve decided to watch them all from the very beginning. I dream of homesteading
You have taught me so much today..will not buy paper towels anymore. You are amazing and so kind to teach us on how to be more frugal and eat healthier.
Wow lots of hard work but very rewarding to the family. Looks awesome
Wow awesome, the work never ends but it's worth it.
The rustic look of the shelves, counter, and table gives me the feel of a country home, which I really like.
Your kitchen is a true working kitchen and beautiful in its simplicity and utility. I love hearing about big families like yours; you are so blessed! Thanks for showing us around. I felt right at home. Liked and subscribed. ~ Lisa
I have found if you put a little vinegar, in the canner with the water when canning, it prevents the white haze that sometimes forms on jars of canned food.
I was going to offer the same thing. It's what my mom taught me. :)
Love it! It’s the kitchen of my dreams! Your a wonderful teacher.
+Catherine Beitel Thank you!
Homesteading Family You seriously are a wonderful teacher! You have a core of calmness to your disposition and it's marvelous! Thank You!
When you write on your black labels cover them with clear packing tape and the font won't rub off then cut the excess tape off around the sticker part 😊
Just beautiful! Especially the canning and the cast iron.
Thank you for the tour! Your kitchen is adorable love the open shelves!
Just LOOKING at your kitchen makes me hungry...and nostalgic...and TIRED! Had almost forgotten how constantly busy my grandparents were on the farm-just the time & work involved in the "wall of plenty" in the back-Bravo! But the life you two are providing for your kids (I think I saw at least one unsupervised free- range child in near proximity to a potentially dangerous chicken-HORRORS!) is precious. The knowledge of where their food comes from(in every sense), their independence, etc. Beautiful. Just beautiful!
Peppermint tea is a great tea too, I live in a climate I can get it fresh all year, but drying it works too. Also to get more harvest although you probably have all the space you need - Square Foot Gardening, and this is my current planning project during Winter. I have just made my first ferment - a cabbage, carrot and caraway seed sauerkraut and can't hardly wait to taste it. Thanks for sharing your insights and inspiring people to live a better life.
+Natasha Lindner Great idea Natasha, Thanks!
Mint was the first herb my daughter taught me how to dry! I'm so glad cuz we love it in tea and in plain water too!

And here I thought your Pantry Chats were held in the basement. I thought the shelves were in the basement. But knowing this is in your kitchen is so much better! Do you group your jars by type? Such as all your pie filling on one shelf, etc.
Love your kitchen collection! You’re such a boss! & Yes fermented lemons are soo good to eat whole!
She so casually mentions they’re ‘making yogurt for the YEAR”. How awesome
Thumbs up on that shelf build Josh
I think you are truly amazing. We've tried to grow our own produce, but the rabbits eat everything right down to the ground. I am currently studying your herb class and learning so much!
Highly suggest a cat or dog. I've got a little black cat, she was trained not to leave our yard (never ever just let a housecat wander, they can get hurt or hurt other creatures). Every summer she goes out whenever she wants and keeps away rats, birds, and any other small pest. Our dog keeps an eye on the cat and scares off larger animals like raccoons or deer
Your jars look so pretty arranged like that. Nice view from your kitchen to the outside, those tall trees 🌲 look beautiful! Thank you for all your great ideas. 💡 👋👍
I have the same thing.....bulk spices in quart jars! And, of course, everything in my pantry has pretty labels. It just makes life and homes more cozy😉❤️
Hi Caroline, your kitchen is fabulous. Nothing is more homely than a working kitchen. Thanks for sharing, I am very new to this style of living and I am enjoying your videos daily. How do you know how long things last for?
Just beautiful!
very nice video, love how organized your kitchen is
+Our Harvestmoon Homestead - We have to be with so many young cooks otherwise I'd go crazy trying to find my own stuff! 😉
Homesteading Family You mean, more than just you cook in your kitchen?
Watching one of your playlists today. Godspeed!
You have a great kitchen and all your fresh spices and vegetables I can bet are sure good. Have you always been on a farm and done all your growing of food and spices?
Looks beautiful! Homesteading is something new to me so these videos are great!
I would love to see how you make your 🍋 lemons, they look great.
+Katie Grazier - That particular batch was given to me by a good friend - and they are so good - But I have made them for years and will put it on the list for doing a video - probably not till winter when the citrus is fresh!
Homesteading Family Is it time for this yet please?
Dandelion green kimchi sounds wonderful!
Love your kitchen
Just found your videos today and have enjoyed several already! Thank You for the tour! I was surprised to see you have a regular stove. I imagined you having a gas stove with 8 burners and a grill in the center! 😉😄 You're an amazing Homemaker and your children are truly blessed to get to grow up in such an amazing environment! You have much knowledge to pass down to your next generation! May God Richly Bless You and Your Family!
Your life is our family's goals! I never knew that about the jar rings and I've been canning with my mom and gramma my whole life,thanks for that tip!
I cant wait to get back to doing this stuff after this pregnancy! Thanks for the tour 😊
Have you looked into vacuum sealing your dry products in the jars? I purchased an add on for my vacuum sealer and it does a wonderful job sealing. Dried beans, nuts, etc purchased in big volumes last years sealed that way.
I love your kitchen 😍 I have like this....the best health.
Your husband did a great job building your shelves! My Dad always made my Mom her extra shelves and storage areas!
hi! new subscriber here. I would love to see a video of your dandelion kimchi :)
+sue Thanks Sue! The dandelion greens have gone a bit bitter here already but Ill do a video using other loose leaf greens - the process is the same!
Hello. New subscriber checking in to let you know this is exactly what I've been looking for. I have been canning for many years and love knowing that younger folks are doing this craft.
It makes great sense to be prepared.
Love your kitchen! Thanks for sharing with us, and I am enjoying all of your videos, so thanks for sharing your wisdom as well. Happy homesteading :)
Lovely kitchen.Just love your channel.God Bless.
I always waited until the jars were conpletely cool and gently removed the rings, as not to break the lids loose, then wash, dry and throw them into a box to use for another time of canning. After a nice collection, I never have to buy rings again. Although with certain items such as kraut, they may become rusty inside since you leave them on the jars. Eventually, I discard those. Nice work you have done there and believe me I know that's WORK! But a very good feeling to see the results. : ))
Thanks!I needed the motivation.Going to go pick and process tomatoes,peppers,etc.Then I have to see if I can organize my work even half as good as your kitchen is.Again thanks!!
I have also been drying herbs and citrus tests. I can a lot. I canned 68 jars of peaches a few years ago.
How amazing and wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
I just discovered your channel, thanks for the tour and good sense regarding the jar rings, I’m now following and looking forward to watching your other videos. Hello from Elissa at Moat Cottage in Australia
Fabulous! Love the information & im amazed at what you achieve in a small kitchen. Great organization, I love it!
New subscriber here! Thanks for the tour. Your kitchen is lovely!
+Whimsical WonderFarm Thank you!
Love your shelves with all your canned goods. So happy to have found your channel. SUBSCRIBED and looking forward to be notified for future videos.
+Matt and Sarah Fish Thank you, Guys!
So glad we clicked on that "bell" icon = Just watched your clabbered milk = Thanks for such GOOD information.
Beautiful kitchen!! I would love to see a tutorial on the preserved lemons or homemade onion powder.
Loved that you pointed out why no rings on the jars, and you are very right. it is dangerous and not just because of false seals. I actually had a jar of canned tomatoes sitting on my counter once, and it spoiled and exploded.
Luckily no one was in the room when it went off, because when I heard the "Boom!" I went running to see what had happened and came to a sudden halt at the door , because it looked like a massacre had happened in my kitchen.
Red splashes everywhere and pieces of glass on the floor!
I finally figured out what had happened when, in looking everywhere, I spotted that tomato jar on the counter and the only thing left was about an inch of the bottom of the jar,, the rest of it was scattered around my kitchen, floor, walls,, just everywhere!
So, it's definitely a good idea to either leave them off all together, which is what I do now, or at least just enough to keep them on the jar, just a turn of so..that way if something does go bad, the lid can pop and pressure will be released. Also you will smell it and know to go looking for the culprit to remove it from your stock, as well..
Thank you for sharing! I love your Kitchen!!
I love your kitchen.....it makes sense.
You know what, have you thought about writing a book for beginners and your history on how you became so amazing? We have lost traditions and natural remedies of healing. I would be the first to live by it and could use your UA-cam channel for reference.
You could have it in Seasons and what to do during those seasons and then a recipe book of what you've preserved like a series that rolls from one to the other.
Beautiful pantry and garden!
Hi there! Just found your channel not long ago---how refreshing!!! Loved your egg storing video---bought the hydrated lime and ready to go! Thank you again....
Very well organized i just love your kitchen
Just found this wonderful channel. I cant wait to learn from you about Homesteading.
Beautiful kitchen! I love all the glass and cast iron.
Violet flower tea for anti-inflammatory properties and general aches. Hibiscus flower tea for blood pressure and heart health, and its beautiful in a clear or white cups. Starts out deep purple, but the moment it's stirred it changes to a brilliant dark fuchsia or burgundy.☺
Recipe please?
Just found you on UA-cam land!! God bless you! Can’t wait to watch more!!!
Great video! You're really good on camera.
I found you by chance today I was watching a bunch of videos on the Master tonic, Fire Cider Tonic do you know this? Anyway thank you ☺️ for the great info on storing eggs. My grandmother always had a barrel of salt in her pantry and she would put her eggs in the barrel, and the other way to store eggs that I learned is to use mineral oil. Rub that all over your eggs and this will keep them up to eight months. I to have a working farm and I like that you have all the five gallon buckets for all odds and ends. Again thanks 🙏Kathy in Montana
Nancy, thanks for telling me about this kitchen video ;) and Homesteading Family - new sub here. :)
I LIKE your "think" plaque.
WHAT AWONDERFUL WIFE AND MOTHER YOU ARE, YOU REMIND ME SO MUCH OF MYSELF IN YOUNGER YEARS. YOUT FAMILY WILL APPRECIATE AND BENEFIT FROM ALL YOUR HARD WORK, IN YEARS TO COME. IM A NEW SUBBIE, JUST DISCOVERED YOUR WONDERFUL CHANNEL YESTERDAY.
Great video!
Your kitchen is my dream
awesome. wish I had a kitchen like that.
your life is
so cool.
+Über Mann! - Yes... it is a wonderful, blessed life...
Very informative. Thank you!
Wonderful video! Very inspiring. Can you please tell more about where and how you purchase your spices, etc. in bulk?
love your kitchen with all the great food God Bless
You are speaking my language with this **kitchen tour**!! I love it! I have a pantry tour video on our (new-ish) channel but I just love your tour!! 😍
Hi Caroline!
I love your videos, your peaceful and calm composer when you present and explain about the subjects you are sharing! Have you done a video on making dairy Kefir with grains? My husband and I have been brewing homemade Kefir for three weeks now and we love our 2nd fermented Kefir we put in a blender to make smoothies with fresh or frozen fruit! Oh so good! Also, do you use a vacuum sealer to seal foods? I love our vacuum sealer and have sealed nuts, pastas, and many food products sealed in mason jars. I have vacuum sealed; fresh crushed peanut butter, lard, oreo cookies, chocolate mints, dried fruits, crackers, rice and much more in various size mason jars. And do you use a dehydrator to dehydrate foods? Please keep the videos coming as I love how you explain about making various foods to preserve! Thank you for sharing your experience, knowledge and taking time out of your busy schedule to share with us that watch you on UA-cam! I watched your video on making homemade corn beef in brine and purchased a food grade plastic container to make the corn beef. I can't wait to taste it as we love corn beef, cabbage, potatoes and carrots! This video was very helpful to me! Thank you! My husband and I are retired now and its the two of us most the time for meals but my husband enjoys eating good foods and so do I!
Many blessings to you and your family!
Bobbie W.
Love to hear more about canning.
Thanks so much for your great info. I love your videos.
+Vickie Lampp 😊
Great tips. Love your set up.
Hello Mrs Caroline, I was wondering if you could share where you buy your bulk spices from? Thank you for all the teaching you give us!
Hi there! We grow a lot of them! What we don't grow we try to get locally, and if that's not possible we use Azure Standard.
Just found you. Love your kitchen and your pantry. I'm with you on the bands on the jars. I keep them on but very loosely. Mostly just so if mice find an open jar they won't be able to feed from it. Yucky, right? Just sub'd and look forward to what you have to show us.
+Country Frau Welcome! 😁
Amazing! I switched to chalk marker and my labels stay put a lot longer. Thought that you might want to try.
I love your kitchen!
Just found your channel, you make such great videos. Thank you for your time and hard work, I'm already learning new things. P.S. Love Josh's cabinets for the canned goods, I'm jealous.
Love your kitchen! How do you preserve your morel mushrooms? This year we have harvested 738.
Hi, do you have like cows, pigs, rooster, duck, horses and all the other animals on your farm thingy/homestead place ? Good full kitchen. You could use paper towels , cut them up in toilet paper size peices and use it for that.
removing the rings is awesome advice. You'll surely know if you have a false seal!
Wow! Do you make your own spices? Doesn't the light in the kitchen cause the spices to deteriorate more quickly? So happy I found your videos!
Do you purchase your bulk spices like cinnamon and stuff? Also do you create your own pumpkin pie spice? Do you have a place for recipes - like on a blog or something? Brand new to the channel.
Have you ever thought about making a cookbook for everyone to buy?!!!!! 😀
Hello. I am a new subscriber. I enjoyed the tour of your lovely kitchen. I would like to know about the picture hanging over your aprons. It looks familiar to me, but I could only see part of it in the video.
Rhubarb bbq sauce!!!! Oh I would love to try some.
Love your homemade trellis
Very cool! Thank you! Have to ask though, what’s with the moving frame? It’s really distracting
That beautiful wooden spoon on the shelf?
