Becky from acre homestead, puts her jars in her dishwasher to clean them, and i really love the way she does stuff. But you both do things so differently but both as nice. I love watching both of you, thanks to both of you. You're both great.
Becky is pretty cool. Watching various homesteaders on UA-cam and how they each do the same thing differently and it works is a great way to remind ourselves there's not always just one way to do something. No singular "right" way that makes all the other ways wrong. There's more than one way to be "right" and above all exploring alternatives to find what works for yourself and your household is the key to success.
Thank you once again for all the fun. I make a LOT of chicken broth, as well, and for years added all kinds of vegs. Hubby finally asked me to make some PLAIN chicken stock, because when we made soup, vegs are added anyway, and he was finding the flavors overpowered the lovely chicken flavor. We loved it. I never add vegs to my chicken or beef broth anymore, and the flavors are superb! Also, if you add some water to your roasting pans and scrape the bits up, and add that to your broth, you get more great flavor. Just something to consider. Thanks again.
Hi Cheslea. I live in North Carolina in the US and love your garden and the farm videos. You seem so happy, as I have heard you say many times, when you are outside.
My husband and I I used to raise about 1000 Cornish cross each summer. We had a buyer for most of them who blessed them as they were processed and carted them off. For ourselves, we raised a few with the strongest legs for about 16 weeks. They processed at about 12/13 lbs each, and I roasted them just like a turkey. I loved the flavor! They were still tender and juicy cuz they’re young.
I love your Chanel I have learnt so much about canning and cooking I thought I was a good cook but by gee u are magnificent eating with such gorgeous produce u are lucky to live your life style and have the husbands one could he is a gem Well done u two
I suffer from autoimmune disease, and I make soup stock like you do because it really helps me to get rid of flares. I make lots and lots of homemade soups with it. Thank you for showing us how to cut the chickens up. Love your videos!
When I make broth or stock I add a couple tablespoons of white vinegar at the beginning. It cooks away so you can’t taste it in the final product, but it helps leach calcium out of the bones. This method often results in a broth that jelly’s when cool.
Regarding your garlic: the gloves in the stem are bulbils which you can also use for planting in autumn. But it usually takes two years till you can harvest it. It only develops one small bulb in the first year.
Since it is just my hubby and I, we cut up our chicken when we butcher, then put a few thighs in a shrink bag and dip in very hot water. Then we make stock with the backs, hubby likes the wings. We have little if any waste this way. When we used to bag a whole bird we couldn’t eat all of it. I love the little cabin.
What an awesome video. The cabin porch has a beautiful view. The baby ducks are so adorable. Paddy looks fantastic. Can't wait to see you harvest cabbage. Have a great day.
About the solar: this is a really magnificent system! very well designed! top notch! everybody should invest in this! really really good job Dan! if the solar panels are standing on the ground you should take a 2by4" board and mill out line along the board FX, so the panels have a steady platform to rest on. the interconnections are inside the foldable link so therefore protecting theese and make the lifespan longer. if wall mounted you cold carpent and make a straight angle triangles with a shelf construnction and install that on the wall on the cabins and such, ready for use. with the correct sun angle for your location. if u want to do the setup more advanced you make the setup with both summer and winter sun angle for your location :D thanks Dan and co :D great job!
Nothing beats the 1st fresh from the garden tomato sandwich of the season. Enjoy it! In NC, I have been harvesting tomatoes since the beginning of the month.
Woonderful video! oh, those ducklings are adorable💗💚 love the progress on cabin and the Bluetti power, very cool! Very interesting chicken processing and soup broth. Love your jungle in the high tunnel, how fun that will be to harvest! your first tomato is gorgeous! Beautiful garden~! LOVE LOVE💜
@karenchaney9160. I don’t know where you live, but Tractor Supply (and maybe Rural King) carry the Cornish cross chicks. Sometimes they mark them down, too, to make room for new chicks. USA
I don’t know if your glass top stove would be able to handle the weight of the double canner. You could use your outdoor burner. That’s what I do just so I don’t heat up the house.
You always have some of the best video's! I always look foward to seeing each and every one of them😊 Those ducks are just cutest as well of all the other animals! How are the bunnies doing these days? And that little cabin is absolutely amazing and really is coming along real nice. Definitely can't wait to see that completely done, it's going to be super exciting for y'all and us viewers here. My mouth was watering seeing all that good chicken broth and I wish we had a scratch and sniff button on here...lol😅 I can just imagine how good it's got to be! You guys are super hard workers and just seem to enjoy it with pure love. Wishing you all the best of love and happiness all the way here from Florida😁😇🌻🌻🌻🦆🦆🦆
that Bluetti setup is amazing! I don't know if we could have installed that (instead of what we ended up with) in our motorhome, but I'm wishing we could have. We are having problems with our system. grrr.
I too want to say how much I enjoy all the little mountain adventures in these videos. Such a variety of tasks and activities. I have passed on the Bluetti info to my husband. Solar power is something we are very interested in.
Yes! Fresh tomato sand. Grew up eating them and still love eating them today. Also wiping the dirt off the tomato and eating the warm fresh tomato right off the vine. Such goodness! Thank you.
I have a short cotton “mop” on a handle that I use to clean mine. That’s all I use it for. My husband’s grandmother taught me to can almost 50 years ago and she had one too.
You are such a high point of my day, i love to garden but your obvious unconditional love of your family, animals and garden is just so uplifting, thank you for sharing!
The solar system is a game changer for the ranch! I believe the charging station can be used in your pasture, gravel pit, forest, or anywhere else that lacks electricity! I’m thinking about canning chicken stock. I love the flavor of my stock but have no freezer space to keep it. I just haven’t taken the leap of faith yet! I’m afraid l’ll make a mistake!😊Anyway, hope you and your family are doing well. Hugs, Doc❤
I’m really interested in the Blueetti solar stuff! I’ll be sure to use your link if I bite the bullet. I agree with the large & small mouth jars. Carrots, beans, stock, etc go into small. Tomato products go into large. So I can get my hand in it to scrub. 😊 I have FD about 20 quarts of raspberries. Ours are everbearing- we get raspberries until the middle of September! Our son loves them, I’ll use for cobbler or bread. Your high tunnel is gorgeous! Tomatoes gone wild. Nothing wrong with that, in my opinion.
WOW that was the biggest chicken I’ve ever seen! We thought you were cutting apart a turkey it looks so big ! Very excited about your cabin and the new solar system. By chance do you know what type of warranty it has? I’m interested in getting one or more.
That is some fabulous looking broth! Next time I will try it your way. I have been using the rotisserie chicken I get from Sam's and using the carcasses to boil down for broth. Gives a good broth but yours looks so creamy and hearty. 😍😍
I grew up using those massive pots and outdoor propane burners for cooking lobster. Gonna broaden the uses now. LOVE the cabin and that plug and play power system. Genius!
Thank you both for the video. Chelsea I didn't see your high tunnel last year, but you seem to out done yourself. When you get excited I do too! Bravo😘
Thank you both so much This video especially because I've been looking for a solar power system that I could use for my tiny home. Until now, I didn't see any way to get it worked out like I needed it.
The cabin is so cute can't wait to see how you finish it. The high tunnel looks amazing wish I could have one . Thank you for sharing. God's blessings to you and your family.
SO AWESOME! What a great solar system and the cabin is going be be so cool 😎 Good size meat chickens. I should go buy a few to piece out from a local farmer. I make stock the same way as you do. Can't get husband to let me raise anything but veg🤭 Your joy at the first tomato is something I hope to see . I have green tomatoes but temps were high , then rain then low...crazy. Love love that high tunnel!!
Love the baby ducks, Paddy is getting so big. Your garden looks amazing. I keep watching and waiting for my tomatoes to turn. I have gotten a couple small ones.
Great video Chelsea and Dan! I loved the demo of the new solar system which would be perfect for a cabin we'll be building. Thanks for sharing. (Of course I always love the cooking and canning and garden and animals too.)
Chelsea, would you mind asking Dan if it would work on a 10x20 woodworking shed for my husband. Thank you. We are removing the cover on a shelter logic enclosure and adding corrugated steel roofing plus 2 end walls.
HOW DO YOU GET ALL THE FEATHERS OFF? The chicken was amazing looking - gorgeous - I've never seen such clean meat!!! Congrats on whatever you do to get it done. I bet you have access to a chicken plucker! All those chickens done in a day - you must have a plucker! I'm so happy for you and your harvest of meat, for the sweet ducklings, for the massive work and outcome of meat and broth canned up, and finally for that beautiful bull's heart tomato - I bet the sandwich was delicious! Congrats on the power being on to the cottage, also. Seems you may have been a tiny bit busy lately - LOL.
I had the garlic stem-bulbs last year, too. I looked all over the internet for the cause, but my google-fu failed me and I didn't find Anything on them. They function more like scape bulbils than cloves. You can still cook with them or plant them out for next year, though.
Wow that is a really cool system for sure. Unbelievable what new technology is around. Really incredible.The chicken stock production you did wow I am exhausted. That was amazing and I am craving homemade now. You are amazing Chelsea. The raspberries look beautiful. Happy jungle for sure. It is what it is yes :) Yumm first tomato. hugs and luv.
Your hubby's joy is just darling!
Becky from acre homestead, puts her jars in her dishwasher to clean them, and i really love the way she does stuff. But you both do things so differently but both as nice. I love watching both of you, thanks to both of you. You're both great.

And I bet you could make some good chicken gravy with all those good bits😊
I was thinking about the beautiful drippings in the roasting pans, too. Could have been scraped right into the stockpot😋
Tomato sandwiches are the best!
Hi Cheslea. I live in North Carolina in the US and love your garden and the farm videos. You seem so happy, as I have heard you say many times, when you are outside.
Cable wiring is neat for decks and you can still see through.
I add the rinsing from my roasting pan to the stock pot. Adds flavour and a little fat for flavour and richness.
My husband and I I used to raise about 1000 Cornish cross each summer. We had a buyer for most of them who blessed them as they were processed and carted them off. For ourselves, we raised a few with the strongest legs for about 16 weeks. They processed at about 12/13 lbs each, and I roasted them just like a turkey. I loved the flavor! They were still tender and juicy cuz they’re young.
Oh Chelsea!! I was flabbergasted to see you rinse off the pans (of their roasted pan-juices) in the sink!! Why? That is the beat ever flavor....
Those are really large chickens! Everything looks luscious! You are going to have a bountiful harvest!
Born on my dad’s birthday 🎉❤. St patty’s day!!!
So glad your decision to not sell the ranch is working out so well. You both look happy and sound enthusiastic.
It is very beautiful. Yeah just get in there and get her done.
I love your Chanel I have learnt so much about canning and cooking I thought I was a good cook but by gee u are magnificent eating with such gorgeous produce u are lucky to live your life style and have the husbands one could he is a gem
Well done u two

Put the panels on a swivel arm attached to the cabin or near by into the ground, it’ll be easier to turn it & keep up with the sun.
Those chickens looked plump! Lots of work. Lots of love.
wow! nice garden!... BLUETTI is very nice product!
Those are some big healthy chicken's, will make for great stock
Nice to see a calm and honest chat about the solar system. I’d lov one but can’t afford it at the moment 😊
35:23 we call that spitting Garlic, it's basically extra cloves they will grow a complete garlic head or you can eat them as is.
Oh, my that is one full utter, from one cattle farmer to another
So excited about the info on the Blueetti. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Your chickens are beautiful.
Regarding your garlic: the gloves in the stem are bulbils which you can also use for planting in autumn. But it usually takes two years till you can harvest it. It only develops one small bulb in the first year.

Love the idea of solar….The lithium batteries not so much. The cabin is adorable!
What an awesome video. The cabin porch has a beautiful view. The baby ducks are so adorable. Paddy looks fantastic. Can't wait to see you harvest cabbage. Have a great day.
Dan needs his own microphone! Great video, thank you so much.
He had one - he does talk quietly though.
I love your joy. 😊
There is nothing like the taste of the first tomato of the season 🍅
About the solar: this is a really magnificent system! very well designed! top notch! everybody should invest in this! really really good job Dan! if the solar panels are standing on the ground you should take a 2by4" board and mill out line along the board FX, so the panels have a steady platform to rest on. the interconnections are inside the foldable link so therefore protecting theese and make the lifespan longer. if wall mounted you cold carpent and make a straight angle triangles with a shelf construnction and install that on the wall on the cabins and such, ready for use. with the correct sun angle for your location. if u want to do the setup more advanced you make the setup with both summer and winter sun angle for your location :D thanks Dan and co :D great job!
Wow You are so knowledgeable Incredible Love watching your ranch life Thank you

Your little cabin is so cute. Just so neat watching you fix it up.

That was one fun video! Thank you for sharing your lovely lives with us. ❤️
Love your videos. They make me smile. I find wonder in all the things.
Great video and lots of good content, but I will say that the first tomatoe is always the best and deserves to be celebrated 🎉
What I like about your videos is that you you share so many things. Your chickens were huge what kind of chickens did you raise? 😊
Cornish x.😊
@karenchaney9160. I don’t know where you live, but Tractor Supply (and maybe Rural King) carry the Cornish cross chicks. Sometimes they mark them down, too, to make room for new chicks. USA
yeahh... tomatoes Waiting impatiently on ours.
I'm so excited for you guys! Your plans are coming together. The garden looks amazing. I just love your videos!
Thank you so much!
@@LittleMountainRanchafter my last comment I clicked this video and woo hoo I got to see your hives! 😊

Your chickens are huge! I eat tomatoes the same as you, sliced on toast with mayo, my husband thinks I’m crazy but they are so good that way!
Well I clicked to watch the canning but the solar was super cool. Definitely interested in checking it out more
I too want to say how much I enjoy all the little mountain adventures in these videos. Such a variety of tasks and activities. I have passed on the Bluetti info to my husband. Solar power is something we are very interested in.
Wow Chelsey look at those cabbages!😮 They are huge!
Chelsea.................The same spelling as the up-market London suburb.
Nice presentation. Enjoyed it all.
I love your excitement about all the new developments in the ranch! You’re such a sweetheart.
Thank you for this video…really made me smile …😂
Dan explains everything so well I understood it perfectly. The baby ducks are so sweet! Loved this video and can't wait to see the finished cabin.
Yes! Fresh tomato sand. Grew up eating them and still love eating them today. Also wiping the dirt off the tomato and eating the warm fresh tomato right off the vine. Such goodness! Thank you.
Use a bottle brush to clean regular canning jars!!!
I have a short cotton “mop” on a handle that I use to clean mine. That’s all I use it for. My husband’s grandmother taught me to can almost 50 years ago and she had one too.
You are such a high point of my day, i love to garden but your obvious unconditional love of your family, animals and garden is just so uplifting, thank you for sharing!
They are huge chickens!
Yes I love my porch it has a great view 🇨🇦
Yaas, you get those partnerships!!
♥️
Carrots are good in making stock too.

Sky looks much clearer. Good news for BC.
Oh my gosh that's exciting!!!! Good job
The chickens look absolutely beautiful.
Thank you both so much This video especially because I've been looking for a solar power system that I could use for my tiny home. Until now, I didn't see any way to get it worked out like I needed it.
I am moving in. Can’t wait. This is so smart. You guys are kicking some butt!
The cabin is so cute can't wait to see how you finish it. The high tunnel looks amazing wish I could have one . Thank you for sharing. God's blessings to you and your family.
Great video, I love how excited you are for solar energy in the cabin. 😊
SO AWESOME! What a great solar system and the cabin is going be be so cool 😎

I just ordered your cookbook! I'm super excited!! Love the cabin and the beautiful woodwork throughout your home.
I have been learning about solar for a couple of years. This was by far the most helpful and clear video I have seen. Thank you!
Great video as always,
Are you washing the fond down the drain? You could add it to the stock pot!😊💕🌸
Thank you so much for this video! You are amazing!

I was wondering why u didn't save the wing and drumette? In the states wings are a big deal and very expensive unless you get a good sale.
I love tomatoes on toast and a bit of mayo
Just love your videos
my soft neck does those little bulbs at the base. i never forgot a hard neck.. i guess its normal .. i replant those small bulbs.
Sweet animals, exciting solar system & great all round progress! Thanks for sharing! Blessings to all 🤗💗🇨🇦
Love all of your videos ❤ I'd love to stay in one of your cabins and get to know you all and see you first hand. I'd even help as much as I could ❤
Enjoy your channel! Thanks for sharing your life and your ideas!
I did finally get a copy of your cookbook!! In route... can't wait to try it out!!😊
He was definitely excited. He was going to use the “big saw”. This will make his building so much easier.
Great video.Thanks for sharing 🙏
Love the solar system, can you run your alliances out of this particular one? And how many? Thanks a lot!🤗💞🤗
Wow that is a really cool system for sure. Unbelievable what new technology is around. Really incredible.The chicken stock production you did wow I am exhausted. That was amazing and I am craving homemade now. You are amazing Chelsea. The raspberries look beautiful. Happy jungle for sure. It is what it is yes :) Yumm first tomato. hugs and luv.

That’s my favorite sandwich in the world is a tomato sandwich but I put onion on mine
