Composted chicken manure sells for about $9/20#. I sell out all I can bag to local gardeners for $10/50#. Once the "coop/poop" is cleaned out, I start in with the goat stalls. I could feed our livestock for a month or so just by cleaning out their pens. The rest of the year is on me.
I'm excited to get this month's guide but it's the 20th and it has not arrived yet. I know you are busy so I'll keep looking. Thank you. I've rewatched your video several times. You just make it look so easy.
Thank you.
Thank you, Cassandra. I guess. I misunderstood your ad for the earthworms, it thought it was free.
Enjoy your videos!! .lots of good info!
I signed up for Win with Worms!! I’m so excited to understand vermicomposting better!!
Young lady, (I'm 70) you are top of the game for helping folks stock great food and NOT bust the budget. Great ideas and tips. I've written books on preparedness but you're hitting things I never thought of. Good on ya! Thanks.
too bad the younger generation of women have fallen so far compared to you two
Younger Generation Will come Around to it soon ,‼️When GOD Returns we will all be working and growing our own again ❤❤. Come Jesus Come We been waiting so long ‼️💯❤️
Hello sweet friend. I am so appreciative of your compliment. Truly, I am leveraging the wisdom from what a few generations ago was common practice. "Modernity" would have you believe these skills are outdated, but they are just as useful now as they were then. Blessings to you and yours!
@@bigmikeobama5314 My husband and his siblings grew up without food security. There are 4 sisters and 3 brothers, including my husband. Funny thing is all 3 of the men have had me teach them to make bread, can food, ferment and grow a garden. None of the girls are interested but at least the men have learned those skills. I’m 50 and from a farming family, my husband is 35 and from the city, his brothers are in their 20’s and they love do all this stuff. There’s still hope.
I only regret I thought the lost ways were too girly. So now I'm experimenting myself and watching people with a common goal ❤@@BecomingaFarmGirl love how frank you can be
I am an 80-year-old great, great grandma with lots of beautiful grandbabies. I just found your channel & you have great content but the one thing I truly enjoy is your presentation. I've seen some of the best but girl, you have the greatest eye-roll I've ever seen! Haha I've subscribed.
A suggestion. For the bottoms of the Asparagus, if you cut it small and then blend it and put it in the dehydrater it is handy for when you want asparagus soup or dip when you want.
On the 11th we had a fire go out of control on our property. Burning down our shed with important things in it, our chicken coop, a camper, a trailer and damaging the 75/100ft pine tree. and our neighbors jumped in immediately, taking all our kids to their home so we knew they were safe. Good neighbors are so hard to find!!!
Hello friend! Firstly, I am thankful no one was harmed, but was a scary experience and loss nonetheless. The confidence and appreciation you just expressed for your neighbors is EXACTLY how I feel about Kevin and Monica and a number of folks in our little community and I know either of us would've acted in the same. I have co-workers that have horror stories about neighbors and I know what I have here isn't what you'll find everywhere. Praise God you and your family remained safe!!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl thank you, me too!!
I know its been a while but I hope you and your family are doing well and on the mend 🙏
@shondalesstudio thank you so much! There's no way for us to replace what we lost at this time, but no person was hurt, so that's a good thing.
@@fallenangelwi25 No problem! Glad no one was hurt. And there is no way to replace what you lost but you can create new memories, with your new things and think of it as the family's new life cycle. Sidenote: To get to the point: We had a fire when I was a teen. I felt so lost. In probably... every sense of the word. We tried to get back to the old normal. Didnt work. We had to find a new normal, with new ppl and things. It was very difficult. Life had a new meaning after that. I hope you and your family, find a new space, whether it is to move on or to rebuild, to call home.
Honey… I am 73 and I have to say , I have learned a ton from you! Keep on keepin on!!!❤❤
Cassandra, as a husband/ father of 2 girls and the family cook in Alaska. I thank you for all of your hard work and content. It has genuinely help my family and I in how we do things. keep it up girl!!!
Hello friend! I am so happy to hear this! I'm telling you, being able to leverage preservation methods (canning, dehydrating, seasonal eating, strategic meal prep) has been a game changer in our budget in a way that is manageable with just a few hours of time each week. I'm only too happy to hear that its been a blessing for you and your family! I appreciate the kind words so much!
A homesteader who spend years working up to her family's homesteads (they've gone from none to small to large) has always talked about turning your "waiting room" into a classroom and my, you have done that very well. Now you are not just learning in your classroom, but you are also a teacher. You are teaching others how to be a homesteader without a homestead yet, so many practical skills, with patience and enthusiasm. That "family" photo just shows you really are family so you will always remain together in your hearts.
Wool socks will actually keep your feet cooler in hot weather if you must wear work or hiking boots. I wear wool socks all year long especially if I am working in the garden. And as a bonus, you won't develop blisters if your feet get wet.
Absolutely my friend! They regulate temperature extremely well and you said it better than what I conveyed. I wear them all year long likely for the reason you named. I was so happy to find them for 4.00 a pair!
I wear wool socks year round too. Happy feet!
Do they make your feet feel itchy at all? Is there a specific type of wool socks one should buy?
@@roseywinter My feet never itch in the SmartWool brand I wear. They are soft, not itchy.
@@gkseeton Thank you! I'll have to look into these. I always overheat in the summer, and would love to let my feet breath. :)
I cired when my neighbors moved, and I didn't expect to do it but I knew they were leaving and walked over to say bye and I saw their garage was empty and I came back to my car and sat in my car and cried. I really loved them.
It's just beautiful to have connection that deep.
LOVE this content! I tune in for the advice on homesteading without the land but also the realness when you share your life. Don’t think I didn’t catch your 2-fisted tissues after talking about Monica. 1 for happy, and 1 for sad tears-I’m surmising. Please continue to share ALL your gems! You offer so much to inspire us. Including the hard times. ❤️❤️❤️
Hello sweet friend! My heart has been so heavy the last few weeks their time narrowed down and let me tell you, each time I take Thor on a walk, he still likes to visit their door. They are such good folks and I do miss the boys and having a friend who's door was literally always open. While I will miss the convenience of having her a few steps away, I'm still thankful she's in our lives. Thanks for tuning in my friend!
I’m canning fresh peaches for the first time now. Thank you for sharing the monthly chats. I’d never know what I should pick up at the store without the chats. I rarely go to the store as it is. Only if I need something.🤷🏽♀️ Your chats have me think of new food ideas. Thank you, you are appreciated.😊🫶🏽
Hey Hun! I just made room in one of my freezers by canning cherries, blueberries, and pineapple. I have never canned ham but that’s now happening! I can eat my weight in collards almost every day and not get sick of them, this is a game changer.
Hey lady! Always good to see you! You will love canning collards (fresh or frozen, but like you, when I make them fresh, they get immediately eaten, so being able to intentionally make a quick batch for canning feels like a treat). And yes, I only keep what is necessary in the freezer and the frozen food sales are sometimes 1/2 off, making them a steal too. I just caught frozen OJ on sale and I canned some up this evening! Always lovely to see you Nikki!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl I never thought about canning frozen oj. I know you often tell us about books that you use but I would love to be nosey and peek at your most used farm skills books.
Thanks for this. I kept thinking I need to make room in my freezer and do something with all those frozen fruit. But I didn’t want to dehydrate them all or make jams. I don’t know why I didn’t even think of canning some! And I love the idea of broccoli rice. And the fermented asparagus made my mouth water. Asparagus is ‘on sale’ right now for $2.99🥴. I need to add an asparagus bed to our garden
@@BecomingaFarmGirlWait?!? You can can frozen orange juice? That is amazing. What do you do with it? Smoothies? Popsicles? Thank you so much for all that you do. I’m 63 and learning all the things now. So happy to have found your channel☺️
I was JUST thinking "i wonder when Cassandra is going to post another video" 😂👌🏻💙
Girl, this month has been ROUGH! Monica and Kevin have my heart and the last fews weeks I had to spend with them I did. I'll be back to a normal routine! Thanks for thinking of me!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl always love💙 you're strong, you got this💪🏻
My kids turned our deep freezer off recently... I just found out this morning when i went to grab meat for dinner and it was defrosted already! Luckily, I'd been working through what we had, only lost popsicles. Everything was still cold with ice on the bottom. Needless to say, i needed this pantry chat inspiration! So sad to lose good neighbors. What awesome life advice, to count your blessings because they can change at any time ❤️
We've turned to canning and dehydrating most all of what most put in the freezer. Our freezer is reserved for roasts and keeping beef or pork from the processor before we can pressure can it. I've know people to lose $2000 worth of meat due to a failed compressor or power outage.
Hello sweet friend! Katherine- I am SO THANKFUL to hear that you did not experience a tragic loss. My freezer went out last summer, but similar to you, I was able to salvage a lot. I just love talking food, preservation, and about other ramblings that I can't exactly share with others if you don't "get it"- thank you for being a friend that listens. And yes, good neighbors are blessing. While I may not have a homestead (yet) I like to focus on all that I do have and living next to good folks no matter where you are is a blessing. Happy Spring!
Girl you got me crying my heart is with you ❤❤❤
Ditto
I have been a wreck! I mean, truly sad these last few weeks, but I think the heaviness is starting to shift a bit. Monica and Kevin became more than our neighbors, they started to feel like family given as often as we see them and how deeply they know us and our family. While I have homestead ambitions, I am very content with what we have here because of the people that I live next too. It's been a blessing for sure. Same goes for you girlfriend-don't overlook the special people, pets, or places in your life :)
Me toooooo!
My husband is an OTR trucker and is home once every other month. I completely understand what you mean and how you appreciate having that community. This is what I long for and hope will be the case when we move within the next few months.
Honey, we are kindred spirits. I feel like the only people that get my lifestyle are trucker's wives, police wives and emergency responders. When Tre's out, I've got to figure it all out and it simply cannot be done without a support system of good neighbors, a few friends you trust, my dad visits often for this very reason. I've been all to happy to pitch in any other way I can because they have really looked out for me. You and I are tough cookies! :)
@@BecomingaFarmGirl 🤲🏽✨we definitely are kindred spirits and only a few can truly relate and empathize. It’s very tough on our family’s but thankful having beautiful people and connections like this help us through the process.
Cassandra,
My husband worked construction for many years. Sometimes gone for three months before he finished to come home.
Life goes on!
I understand community part. I had been in mine for 2 1/2 years when my mom passed in my house. Although I wasn’t nearly as close like you are, they helped me navigate such a hard time. I had no family in the area as they are 3 hours away. My neighbor on one side watched my house when we had to travel to my hometown for my mom’s funeral. My neighbors 2 houses down made us dinners. Then with 6 months, they all moved and i felt so sad.
Hi Jackie! Ooh, darling I am wrapping my arms around you. The loss of a mother is so deep and I am grateful you had folks express their care for you during such a hard time. That's exactly how I feel about Kevin and Monica--we have done life together so closely these last (almost 8 years) and having people that can come to your door and vice versa cannot be understated. Like you, I will always remain grateful that we shared the time together that we did.
Oh Cassandra! I adore your heart! You would be my dream neighbor. I'm sorry your friends are moving away. I also understand that happy sad feeling. Thank you for sharing with us. What a blessing it is to have such a close knit community, right next door.
I'm sending you big hugs from Baltimore ❤
It truly is a blessing to have neighbors that feel more like family. I just couldn't get myself together this month as the days ticked by to their move. I will always miss them terribly but grateful to have had almost a decade with them. Even without a homestead, I know that its the people, more than the place that makes your day in and day out special. Girl, we are only a stone's throw away from the other :)
Amen.
Each time we've moved, I've always hoped to find a neighbor - who becomes a friend - who then becomes family. While I've had some lovely neighbors, it was more a neighborly relationship. When we moved here, I was certain that *this* was the time. My husband would laugh and tell me I was being too aggressive... as I would start chatting up everyone who walked by and even on Halloween as we went house to house. I'd spew out a quick neighbor/friend seeking personal ad, "Hi my name is Heather - we live in that house on the corner - I like being a mom, gardening, music ... long walks on the beach... blah blah blah." 🥴🤣 It was very funny looking back.
This neighborhood didn't bear the friendship fruit, either... BUT... I did manage to find the treasure I had been seeking for so long - in a Mamma from our Homeschool co-op. (Thank Goodness 😅) Now, her family is like family to us. We dream about buying property together, to farm. It's been absolutely beautiful.
You are soooo right, it's about finding our community where we are now. Leaning into eachother as we each make our way towards greater goals. What a source of divine gratitude. ✨️🥰
I loooove that you and I are so close in distance and interests. You are a treasure to us all. It's been amazing watching your channel grow.
Annnnd if ever fate decides we should meet - I may or may not give you my friend pick up lines. 😉😅❤️ Hope y'all are having a wonderful weekend! We're doing silly amounts of preserving up here. (You know those days where you realize "I think I bit off too much and now will be up til the weee hours of the night to finish"?... 🙋🏻♀️).
Great ideas! I never thought about canning the frozen fruits and veggies, but you showed so many ideas and meal starters. 👏
I’m planning on doing this this weekend. Need to clean out freezers
Honey, you will love frozen food month! It cuts down on the prep of working with raw vegetables and really is a way to take advantage of those sales! Happy canning!
Oh, I so understand you missing Monica. I have an urban homestead and had a garden buddy that was amazing. She is a young, godly mother, with five children (now she has 7) and a beautiful garden in their backyard and rabbits and chickens, and she would come down and they would help me in my garden and I would go help pick green beans or whatever needed to be done in theirs, and I just love her to death. They moved two hours away to 10 acres. I am so happy that they found their forever home. They now have sheep and goats and orchards and all of the beautiful things that comes along with Homesteading. And I would never wish for that to go away, but I sure do miss them. 😢❤
You guys are adorable!Please don't stress honey, it will happen for yous. I pray you get the pregnancy bug too. No worries, Gods got this. Much love & hugs from Florida. ❤
I cook frozen collards a LOT longer than 10 minutes. The longer you cook them the sweeter they get, and they taste sooo much better.
I love all your passions for food, family and your friends. Praying that when you get new neighbors/friends they will be a wonderful addition to your life.
Hello friend! Aww, thank you! I'm not sure how we struck out on such a great little neighborhood because we bought this place without seeing anyone. Now that I have experienced how powerful the people that live to the right and left of you are, its exactly what I want to have when we move. I have heard horror stories from co-workers that have neighbors that aren't agreeable and its a sore spot to be in. I will miss my dear friends so much, but I am appreciative of the (almost decade) we had to do life together. God is good!
You are so inspiring. I love your energy. Always come away feeling like I can do that.😊
Awww, honey its because YOU CAN!! I am not anyone special, and truly, there's a lot that you can do even with a little. Start small, don't overwhelm yourself, don't compare yourself, and just have fun along the journey!
The grass isn't always greener on the other side, but sometimes it is
Exactly. We never know...
❤️❤️❤️ You brought tears to my eyes. My husband was in the military, we made very close friends for a few years and then had to move or they had to move away. Very hard each time. I have managed to stay friends with one of those special friends. She lives in Tennessee and I live in Pennsylvania. We talk by phone several times a week. We exchange pictures often and see each other about once every few years. It’s been 48 years and we are like sisters. ❤️❤️❤️
Make a batch of homemade hot cocoa mix ( equal parts cocoa, powdered sugar and dry milk) in a pretty Dollar Tree jar to go along with those cozy socks for a great friend or co-worker gift.
Wow! I'm impressed with this content! Thank you for existing!
Aww, friend you are too kind! I'm certain you're a rockstar too:)
Cassandra, could you do a live video on " canning how to's" or cleaning meats, grown fruits and veggies? Also cleaning bagged fruits and veggies. Sometimes buying produce has holes in it, smells like chemicals...yeah....
Highly respect what you are doing. Thxs Luke 1:37
You need to add some lemon juice to your fruit to keep botulism away when canning- You can google it or look at ball book for preserving- unless you are keeping them in the fridge
The last third or so of this video is ridiculously impactful.
May God bless you and your family, your neighbors, and especially Monica and her growing family. Community is where it's at, in the grand scheme of things.
P.S. you should chastise whoever was drinking a commercial soda, though. 😊
A good neighbor is priceless!
I have to say I'm totally ecstatic about finding you.
You have brought passion back for preserving like we had to in the day. Extremely greatful for your channel and believe me I will be sharing this with everyone I know including my FB groups.
YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL COMUNITY !!!
I never add sugar to any of my fruit. I cold pack and I pack them tightly in the jar and they always are sweet naturally.
I want to cry 😢 too, but I am so happy looking forward to your future when you and your husband move onto your FARM 🚜 🐷🐔🐝🌲🌽🥦🍅🫐🍓🍉🥕🥔🧅
Change is always hard..... I felt the same way when a couple we hung out with got divorced..... things were never the same. You gave great ideas for the frozen fruit which I will give a shot.
A recipe I'm looking forward to trying - fermented, julienned daikon radish! I also think juilenne-ing broccoli stems in the same way would be mighty tastey!
Lol I got confused by your title. I was like... Wait, frozen is bad??
Because I had thought for a long time that frozen foods were good quality. So your title had me questioning everything thing, until I watched 😂
My bok choi over wintered itself on the ground next to the raised bed that it was raised in last spring. I am thrilled to harvest it a month before I get to plant out this year's crop.
Don't you love it when you have volunteers? That's awesome!
Good friends are forever.
Oh, we didn't cover the jars with water. We do it Zimmerman way.
Those chicken wings looked SO EPIC. YUM!
Hi, it is understandable that you are both happy for your neighbors, while also being sad that they are leaving. Good neighbors and a close community is such a valuable gift, it is not easy to find.
You said it best, its not easy to find at all. The ability to have folks that can come to your door cannot be understated. No matter where you live, being in a community that looks out other folks has been a precious experience. Happy first day of spring, my friend!
Wow! Your store prices are wayyyyyyyyy cheaper than in Canada.
Its no wonder you can buy a bunch of frozen stuff and can it. I just bought frozen mixed vegies yesterday on sale for $7.98. Frozen Brussel sprouts on sale was $3.98. And prices are still going to keep rising. 😞
As for froz fruit, its more expensive. Thats why i have to grow and preserve my own fruit on my homestead. Thanks for sharing 😊👩🏻🌾
Please add freeze drying to your preserving repertoire if you are able. It is a game changer!
This a very Heartwarming video❤ I hope that your new neighbors will be just as FABULOUS as Monica and her family. Thanks again for another great video!
Aww, thanks friend. I've truly had a heavy heart these last few weeks. The other neighbors in the community have expressed the SAME thing and we'll all be poking out heads out when the house hits the market and folks start touring. It has been a blessing to have folks that you know genuinely care about you and, even though you never want that to end, I am so happy that their growing family has more space and that we were able to live life alongside them for as long as we did. Happy first day of spring!
Hi Cassandra- parting can b such sweet sorrow. I always tell folk close to my heart- you will never b rid of me. I have ur phone number!!!😂😂😂😂
Haha, exactly!!!!
I hope there’s a bit of homestead property closer to them one day.
Our neighbors moved a few years ago and we were just broken hearted. You holding back tears brought it all back. I feel this deeply with you.
Casandra crying is an open heart chakra nothing wrong with u, it rather shows how u love... enjoy de feeling it attracts more love
From time to time I like to take frozen veggies and dehydrate them and then put them in an air proof container or vacuum seal it. Works great for Soups and stews, they stay firm instead of getting mushy.
Oh I LOVE this idea!!
What a great video! I laughed so hard at the canning frozen food portion. When I started taking frozen food and canning it, that was like finding the cheat code to a video game. 😂😂😂
Our babysitter is a very close and dear friend of mine, and recently they’ve started talking about moving. And not just across town, but away away. I’m going to be so sad when it happens 😢
Oh sweet friend, my heart it with you. It's a heavy sadness to carry because you've become accustomed to the nearly effortless ease/access. I rarely ever CALL Monica, I just walk right over because their door is always open or the kids are out back. Of course you and your babysitter/friend will always be friends, but it does change the rhythm and that's what I'm missing. It's so odd to for me to carry both of these emotions---with 3 boys I am so happy (and agree) that having a house with a large front and back yard that isn't off of a busy main road like our development is makes sense, but on the other hand, are you ever really ready to say "good-bye"- Standing on the other side now that they've moved, I'm just so appreciative that we had the time together that we did. Just as the Lord brought both of our sweet friends into our lives, he'll continue to connect our paths with others--I'm believing that for the both of us!
I love your channel. I learn so much. Thank you ❤
Please show us how to pressure can🙏🏼
Hi! First time meeting. I also subscribed. 😊
Sorry that your friend is moving there's another way to look at it but God is opening a door for you to minister to a new family. New blessings for you awake. New friends will come.
I'm always excited to get your tips. Thank you so much
I hope your next neighbors are friendly and loving too. One of your homemade pies would be terrific greeting! I'm sure you will be seeing Monica throughout your life. What a precious extended family your have!
Thank you so much for all the info you share , I've been shopping that this for ever
😂😂😂oh yeah thanks for the ideas, I didn't think about canning greens. I tried the chicken casserole from last month and it was DELICIOUS 😋 THANKS AGAIN❤
I am SO GLAD you tried the chicken casserole (using the no-recipe recipe card, lol)! Thanks for sharing this!!!
Excited for this pantry chat Ty girlie
Your video popped up on my feed and I have been binge watching. I subscribed and look forward to your informative and well presented videos. I have been looking into seasonal shopping and the information in your videos are so helpful! I also love the creative recipes. Looking forward to catching up on your channel
Hello friend! Thanks for saying hello! Seasonal eating and preservation have been game changers in my kitchen and I know it’ll be the same for you! Happy spring!
Thanks for another video.
I so wish that the can grabber had a spring for a one hand operation lol. I just threw my grabber out!!! 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ never thought to can frozen veg and fruit. Well I did. But I totally forgot about it!!!
Wonderful video as always! Thank you for brightening my day!
Yummy!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Wow. I love your heart! You have such a deep, kind soul.
aww cass my heart goes out to you! at least the core of your relationship is the same ❤ you'll still have them in the center of your community heart no matter the distance.
the effortless ease and access can be difficult to adjust to but perhaps this is also an invitation to explore ways you can show up differently that nourishes you and your relationships no matter the distance!
missed you and wishing you the best!
Sweet friend you have captured my sentiments PERFECTLY! You worded everything so well, and yes you have shared exactly what I've come to grasp since they've moved. I've invited Ms. Fannie over for tea and am hoping to use the "shift" to observe how/who I can connect with. Life, and the moments in it are so precious and fleeting. Thank you for your words of encouragement!
You are absolutely fabulous, thank you for all you do!!!!!
I love your content so much. I don't know you, but I feel like we are friends. I totally understand how difficult change can be. Especially with regard to the level of effort it takes to maintain good adult friendships. Praying you begin to feel better and settle into your new norm over the next few weeks and months to come.
Thank you sweet friend! My heart has been so heavy in a way that surprised even me. I've used the term 'neighbor' and 'friend' for Monica and Kevin for so long, but truly, they became family. We constantly "pitt stop" at the others house and truly have aspects of communal living (since I don't have grass, Thor plays in their back yard, they don't have a front porch so they sit in ours and the boys play under our front yard shade tree) and sooo much more. While our cadence will be different, I'm just focusing on the fact that I had a chance to do life with them so closely for so many years. Thank you for understanding!!
You are such a treasure!! So many wonderful tips.
I just love you, such a good teacher ❤
Love your post.
Absolutely love this post!!!❤❤❤
You are an inspiration to me, thank you for all you do.
I so love your energy!! Ty for sharing your creative gift of saving money with us!!!
Ur a sweet gal. U would b a super neighbor. I have neighbors but we’re older & their young so they kind of keep a friendly distance
I love your channel. I love your personality 😂. I love your topics. God has bless you so much, praise the Lord!
I'm so sorry for your loss. Good neighbors are such a treasure! But you can still get together just not the same 😢
Thank you for all you are teaching and sharing , a gift !
Oh my!!! This is awesome!!
