I just found your channel and I am now a subscriber. One thing I always feel bad about is when you apologize for your world/life.
Never apologize for lighting or for the mess. You are a real person with a real life. I personally want to see this, so I know I am not the only one with dirty dishes in the sink and a disorderly cupboard. Also, I learn a lot more when the presenter is sharing their life. Thank you!!
Amen!
Welcome and thank you for your kind words!
Glad to hear I wasn't the only one who didn't want to open those pretty jars 😂
The old saying goes, "eat what you store, store what you eat". You're doing a great job.
Your pantry reminds me of Mama and especially Grandma. They did a lot of canning especially Grandma. That's the first canned sausage I've seen in years. You have every right to be proud of your canned stuff. As Daddy used to say, "it will be better than a snowball this winter."
My daddy always says that too ☺️☺️
My mother used to say that too 😀
I'm 80 years old last month... and I've got three sisters. Mama always told us each of us had a job to do to help "provide" for the family. There was no allowances. We didn't have the money. I know kids who did nothing and got $20 a week. When I was in school there was a lot of money. It would go a long way, but anyway, you do a lot of work with that and maybe your family doesn't realize it.... maybe they do, but gardening and putting food by... is only part of your part of helping "provide" for the family.
One of my favorites that my mom did was tomato preserves. I can't find anything like it in the store.
She put a thin slice of lemon in each jar. I've tried store-bought ones all the time, and I can't find any like that. i like this video... brought back some good memories.
Tomato preserves sound delicious, I’ve never had any!
@@TrueGritAppalachianWays Both my Great Grandmother and Grandmother made Tomato preserves just like that. I have some of My Great Grandmothers recipe I'll look through them see if I can locate the recipe and send it to you if I find it.
Just emailed you that recipe. You may want to Cut it in half though as Grandma Purcell use to always cook and Can for an army. If I had to guess I'd say that recipe is for 30 to 48 pints? I may be wrong? Let me know!
@@grumpyiwegianpodcast3505It is sad that the old recipes are being lost. I would love to have this recipe. GOD bless
Do not apologize for your dirt cellar. It reminds me of my childhood home. I really wish I had in or at least a section of one. I is one of the best food storage areas there is. Thank you for sharing.
My dad dug out our basement by shovel and wheelbarrow and then he put bricks up basement was four feet approximately around smaller than the house because the foundation was out further than that it used to flood every time our creek got up high in the winter and filled with water there was pea gravel our freezer was always up on bricks and as a kid I used to go down there and play in the water every winter it was so much fun I even got a toad one time and let it go down there and mum wasn't too pleased because all she heard all that ear wasn't told Crooked and laid her down the years he cemented it and put it in sub pumps but I can imagine how much work that was digging that out all by hand😁😁Oh yeah the reason why I used to flood every year is because the drain from the basement used to go out to the Creek so when the Creek got overflowing it used to come into the basement
Thanks Andy and Megan; learn alot from ya'll. I got a real blessing from that video of you ( Megan) and your mama and kids singing the gospel hymns; thanks for all the valuable information you'all provide about homesteading.
Amazing work! ❤ Last year, all children had left the nest, I turned the front room into my pantry. 😂🎉 I am definitely going to try that slaw recipe! Could you share the recipe for your Rotel style tomatoes? I can never say enough about your, “famous Chow Chow” recipe. I looked for years for that taste! 😂 ❤Can you store, things like sugar, flour, salt in your pantry? Thank you for sharing, great job on the pantry build, beautiful & Sturdy!❤
Here is the Rotel recipe ➡️ anoregoncottage.com/canned-tomatoes-chilies-aka-rotel/
And generally I store my dried goods in our small storage room upstairs, it occasionally gets a little humid in the root cellar and I’m worried those things wouldn’t keep. I’m so glad you love the chow chow!
It's takes practice to eat what we can. Great video. Thank you for sharing
Fun episode. I’m looking to build a root cellar of some kind at the mountain house. I’ll store emergency food there in the event of something bad happening
I am envious of the root cellar!
Most ppl have to create one but your ppl knew better, smart.
❤ I love the history of the cellar and the shelves are beautiful too. Most of all the beautiful jars of your labors preserved- well done!
Thank you so much!
Wish I had a cellar like that for my canned goods. You are truly blessed. Love ❤️ and hugs
❤You have every right to be proud!! Love you, dear. You and Andy are leaving an amazing legacy for Jacob and Maggie.
Great job I can a lot of food for my family and friends have been eating it all my life and I’m 71 years old great job megam❤
My how your channel has grown. When I get off the road I try to catch up and see what's new. I love your pantry tour. I've been hard at it too. I've been watching you from the beginning. Love it all!!
I would love to know how to can pork ribs. I have not ever done that but it sounds yummy. I don't know why, but I love pantry tours. I enjoy seeing what people have in their pantry, and if there is something I have not heard of, I want the recipe. It also gives me confidence that my food is ok if it separates or if food has siphoned out or some other thing that didn't go exactly like it was supposed to. I love to look at my jars of food once I am done canning. To me, they are like a beautiful piece of art. I love your channel! Thank you for all you do!
That is a lot of hard work! Many hours, I know! But sure is beautiful!
Meagan, my Grandma Hallie would be so proud of you
That's ALOT of hard work and hours put into that pantry there, but some of the best eating! You should be proud Megan (sp?). I miss canning myself. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to your next video.
Thank you!
Reminds me of my grandma's cellar!! Such sweet memories!! It's beautiful ❤️ I just finished canning a bushel of carrots this weekend...still have another bushel to go 😊
That’s a great cellar tour, it looks fantastic! I really like the shelves in there, sooo sturdy.
Yes, Andy did a great job making these!
I noticed the twist part of the lids are missing,I never saw that before. My wife and I are really enjoying you guys Chanel, keep the videos coming
Once they are sealed the ring doesn't serve and purpose so we take them off and use them on other jars
Beautiful pantry. Wonderful job. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much! 😊
My Granny and Granddaddy had a large storm pit they stored all their canned goods initially it stayed cool there in the hottest weather I loved canned sausage have not had any in many years I have seen green beans that had been canned 12 or more years that were still very good
Perfect place for you canned good s. Wish I had one for sure. I grew up in a family of hunters so I can totally identify with wild game harvesting . Glad to see these types of skills being passed on and preserved. 😊
i'd be so happy to have a pantry/root cellar like yours. thanks for the tour. i really enjoy your videos
Thank you!
I try to can food every year looks great.
Girl your Rotel is the real thang
Thank you for the tour!
Yes, you worked hard canning all that. Good job, good people.👌
thank you
Wonderful store of foods!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
I don't have a freezer so I can everything and your canned food looks great. Love your videos.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
There's a couple I'm thinking of trying. Especially the slaw. Thanks.
I hope you love it!
I love your videos, I'm pressure canning 20# pork bulk sausage tomorrow. We love biscuits and gravy for breakfast. 😂
I've already been really thinking about what I want to grow next year, basing that on what we really eat and use the most. I canned bread and butter pickles for the first time this past year and I LOVE them! I will definitely make more of them. I will probably grow even more cucumbers next year because I also use them in my morning smoothies because they are so refreshing. But I won't grow green beans because I have plenty on my shelf that I need to use first. The only thing I'm still working on finding more ways to use is my canned pork butt or shoulder. I have never tried it in tacos, but I will try that soon. I make sweet, pickled coleslaw using my red and green cabbage and shredded carrots and I love putting that on my tacos.
I slice onions and put in the jars with the bread and butter sweet pickles , yum.
@@brokenman63 I did with mine also. They are so good!!
Yes ma’am I can every year my kids have all moved and love to come mommas to shop lol
Love your channel and keep it coming! I was raised this way and wished I could find a homesteading spouse that also enjoyed and appreciated the old ways. ...
What a beautiful storage!!
Thank You for sharing.
Thank you!
Your canning shelves look great. I’ve seen others that look just like yours. 🫶🏻
My goal
This pantry is awesome, it’s making me hungry, lol, y’all awesome people and down to earth , my kind of people, so many memories you have given me back, thanks Megan
Have you tested your basement for Raydon? You can likely get testers at Walmart or hardware stores. It's especially important, since you have a dirt floor. You don't want that radioactive dust breathed in by you or your family! It can cause lung cancer and other lung diseases. You should wear masks when working in the root cellar or your basement, and please get some tests! Prevention is the best answer!!
😮 Ray Don is Llewellyn's crazy 3rd cousin and I don't want him in my basement either..the fellows a nut ! 🤣 but seriously Radon gas is a thing and very important to know about as it can be very health damaging, I would seriously doubt that they would have a problem with it at their house thou..it depends a lot on the soil composition. It was very good of you to point it out thou It is an issue in some locations. God bless you.
Looks great ..ya ready for Winter.,I’m learning plenty from u Megan
It's a labor of love
Love your pantry 😊
Thank you!! 😊
I think we need to get on your Christmas list! Great video thank you for taking the time to make it
Great video❤
Amazing work canning all that. Loved watching.
Fabulous.
Thanks for sharing your pantry ideas. You certainly have worked hard!
Have you posted your recipe for rotel? It looked amazing!
You should be Proud..yesss 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🌱
There is lots and lots of hard work goes in to growing and putting up your own food but when you eat it it is all worth the work. I’m going to have to try your chow chow recipe
Bought old homestead 2014 found old jars from thirties and fifties cleaned up and still using rebuilt root cellar doors smd it is an excellent storage space it stays earth temperature most of year
If you store your strawberry preserves upside-down they won't separate. Just found your channel and subscribed. Thanks for the videos
I love your channel. Your pantry is amazing and you should be proud of it!
Did you have a video on the Rotel tomatoes? I am only canning up what I am buying most frequently at the stores. Trying to “reverse” the grocery shopping process. If the store can make it shelf stable, So can I lol. We use a lot of rotel. And we had tomatoes out the ears this year too! Hoping next year we are just as blessed. We are in the construction process of our new hoop house.
Here is the Rotel recipe I used! ➡️ anoregoncottage.com/canned-tomatoes-chilies-aka-rotel/
Wow and way to get it done. Love the tour and cellar. Very inspiring
Thanks so much!
Awesome job👍🤠❣️👍. Great that you don't have to pay for that at a store.
Ive never tried canned meats, might have to give it a go👍. When my mimi was alive we had a converbelt going, ine made pie crust, one filled,one sugar cinnamon butterd,one put the lid on and we had apple pie in the freezer when we wanted pies. We cut our corn n froze in bags along with squash. Maybe put jams on bottom shelfs..cooler. we did freezer jams. Thanks for sharing. Everyone cans what they like and family needs👍❣️👍🤠. Much love to you n your family from here in Michigan ❤️
Need to put a 1x1 brace in front of the jars...
Haha I know we do, maybe one of these days
I saw you folks cutting pork and Andy was talking about how you cut the ribs in singles and fry them. I would like to see a video of you fryin them and your recipe. Thanx
My mother always put a grape leaf in the top of her dill pickles. They were always crisp and it didn't matter if they were 1 year old or 5 years old. You might try it on a few jars and see if it works for you.
We canned the majority of our food growing up and I continued for a few years. My mama always kept at least one or two years behind in stock for hard year of bad crop. Also we did not have big canning pots just the old school way. Love your story ❤❤
Wonderful video, loved it.......keep them coming !
Thank you!
Just love abd do the best with Bread and Butter and do 3/4 with pepper flakes, out of the world delish.
Lovely, lovely pantry!
The Goat is darling she right
In their with the big cows the dog we’re is she out rain 🌧️ and cat you all the best u tubers great love you all the best. And acre home stead just

We love them you all
good job
I just found you and subscribed! I’m a city girl and I look at you all with the greatest respect. I feel like it is necessary to learn how to can stuff and live off the land. We can’t do it like you guys because we’re older but the crazier this world gets the more anxious I get to get out of here and move to the country. Bless you guys for sharing your knowledge.
I love bread and butter pickles too.
How to get some of your canned greens 😊
Looks awesome... thanks for the inspiration( ive found alot of that thru yalls vids). i was up past midnight canning pork shoulder lastnight, gettin ready for round 2 today. roasted whole in the oven (on 1st batch for future BBQ sauce meals) and cut up for a hot pack. today is cube and roast for gravy and taco/sandwich meals. i might do some of it as raw pack to try as i havent done that yet. (Started with 54 lbs)
A lot of hard work but it’s definitely delicious!!
Awesome video and root cellar! Very inspirational ❤️
Thanks so much!
Have you ever eat fig perserves?
You have an amazing store. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you so much 😊
Root cellar looks nicely stocked for winter!
Have ya counted how many jars are in the root cellar? Would love to know what it takes for a family of 4.
Give the Amish made lids a try by Superb. Lehman sells them in bulk for a good price. These have a tighter seal like ball use to be 50 yrs ago. I use a lot of tattler lids too. It saves money and when the lid supply dwindles accidentally or on purpose, I still have lids.
Keep up the great work!
I’ll definitely look into that brand, haven’t heard of those! And I haven’t counted officially but each shelf holds around 100-120 jars, Thank you!
Very VERY Impressive and Inspiring
Thank you!
I JUST SUBSCRIBED ,,,,WHEN I HEARD YOU TALK I KNEW YOU WAS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT TO SPEND MY TIME WATCHING ,,,GOTTA BINGE WATCH ALL YOUR VIDEOS,,,,IM A KENTUCKY WOMAN ,BORN WILL DIE KENTUCKY,,♥️👍🏻♥️
Hahaha thank you so much
Hi Meghan could you please make a video on your canned apples and what you make with them. I canned some up like on your video and they look good. Thank you 😊
Could you possibly share Grumpy's Tomato Preserves Recipe? With his approval of course! I would love to have it.
I'm a new subscriber to your channel. I put your Cookbook in my Amazon cart! I will watch more as I can. Garden has priority right now. I live in Tennessee, fellow Appalachian here. We're up near the Big Southfork River and Recreational Park. Will have to binge watch your videos soon. Great work. GOD bless
Looks great! I would love to have a cellar 😊
You remind me of my late aunt Martha. She dairy farmed with my late uncle. Everything was made from scratch.
Very impressive pantry! I wish I had paid more attention to my Grands when they were preserving food.
I like your pantry. Love the shelving! It is rustic yes but very functional. The shelves look like they are about 2 inches thick. Very sturdy.
they are, true 2x6s i cut on my sawmill
I was real surprised to see you pressure canning tomatoes. I got a secret to making pasta sauce, blend up your tomatoes with zucchini and herbs. Cook it a while with herbs to marry the flavors. The zucchini takes up the taste of the tomatoes and thickens it right up without having to cook it down forever. That 1870s Homestead showed me that trick. I tried it and now I make my own sauce.
I like to pressure can tomatoes vs water bath, just a little quicker IMO anyways :) I may have to give that zucchini trick a try with my sauce!
Would love to have the Tomato soup recipe. I want to add milk when I serve it but it curdles when I do. 🤔 But I do like Tomato 🍅 Soup 😋
Lol my mum made chow chow when I was a kid I forgot about it till I saw yours 😊
Wonderful to see how fine your Jerky is, to be so enjoyed. Your Dehydrator looks nice, sure fid this job fast. Thanks for teaching some about Deer.😊
Your pantry reminds me of my grandparents root cellar. The best meals came from all that hard work
Beautiful cellar. Nice shelves! I always look forward to canning season, and always glad when it's over! Great tour! Thank you! GOD bless
I thought you guys must grow the big part of your food. Fabulous. Thanks.
Grandpa and Grandma bore holes in the dirt downstairs or in the cellar
Awesome
Nice root cellar. And you have done a great job filling it up with canned veggies.
I love your dirt cellar, i wish i had one!
thank you
You guys sure are hard workers! I’m sure its very rewarding though. I do can some too but I turned 60 years old this year and my energy level is not as much as it used to be lol.
