So, it was YOU who took all the safflower oil! LOL Actually at our house, I no longer use seed oils other than olive oil. I use that, coconut oil (which is great for popping popcorn btw), lard, tallow, and butter. We still buy some items that use seed oil, but I'm moving away from them as much as possible. I wanted to get some peaches, but they ran out by the time they were filling my order :0( I got cantaloupes instead and am canning some, freezing some, and dehydrating some. On today's docket, i olan to use the last of the fresh blueberries that definitely need to he used up and mix it with some cantaloupe for fruit leather. Yesterday, i used some applesauce in jars that didn't seal (insert mad face here), but i wouldn't have done it otherwise, so it was a blessing. Applesauce whirled in the blender to get it smooth and about a tablespoon of cinnamon. Poured into fruit leather trays and dehydrated. Yummo. I shared a jar of applesauce and some of the leather with our kind neighbor who allowed us to pick all the apples off his trees. With the wet summer we've had, apples are smaller this year, and some trees dropped fruit early. Ive had more lid fails this year canning than I've ever had. Also had four jars break in the canner (another mad face). I contacted the jar company to let them know. I might have to give the superb lids a try. Oh, and our wally world will NOT give it sell the food grade buckets from the bakery any longer. Ive asked at other places, and so far have come up empty-handed.
Oooooh! Freeze dried cantaloupe sounds awesome!! I think I’m going freeze dry shredded zucchini, then It won’t have to be in the freeze. We’ll see how it goes. Sounds like you’ve been busy! Sad sushi about the frosting buckets. It’s such a versatile and cheap tool for me. Be blessed sweet friend. 😊
Goodness you have so much knowledge and that’s why I appreciate you both so much for sharing it. It’s why I love watching. I try to stick to channels that teach me. It’s how I got so good at Sourdough after 4 years.
The gmo is the one thing I try my best to keep out of my home. Organic is preferred but it can be way too Expensive for me also. You will love the berkey water filter! I got one a year ago and we love it!
Hello Miss Mindy! We surely don’t try to be perfect, but we are always trying to be better. We can only do what we can do, right? I have a saying in my life that goes like this “every day God gives you a new day to be somebody different somebody better and don’t ever rob yourself of that opportunity.” I’m looking forward to our new push to eat cleaner. I appreciate your energy on our channel. You’ve been with us from very early on. We appreciate you sweet lady. Be blessed extra this week my friend.
@@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska I can’t afford to spend a lot of money on things but do my best to get the best quality I can at the lowest price. I am often buying seconds on produce and canning it for so much cheaper. So far in the last month I have canned 2 bushels of peaches and 2 bushel of apples. I am going to get another bushel of apples for apple sauce. Things like this make a huge difference. I also get sugar at Sams Club because it is the best price for cane sugar. If it doesn’t say cane sugar it is beet sugar and that is a big gmo crop
You will love the Berkey water filter we love ours. buy some extra filters and the black washer and plastic nuts for the filter. check your old filters with red dye or about every six months and clean them with a green scrubber. We went non-GMO a while ago, but be careful now they’re putting in contains bio engineered products.
Hello Crystal, I think you could be a representative for Azure. they should make you an Azure host and pay you in merchandise. You did a great job talking about Azure, problem for me is, I am by myself and it wouldn't pay me to buy in bulk like you do, I would probably end up owing them, lol. Thanks for sharing.
John , that’s very kind of you to say. I wouldn’t mind getting a paycheck from them. Ha! When I want to buy some thing from azure and get the book discount, but I know there’s no way Mr. Reeve and I are going to be able to go through it, I find some friends that are willing to share or split a case with me, etc. it’s a great way for me to get the bulk discount price, but not have to figure out what to do with all of that food before it goes bad. If you really get interested about it and there’s some thing you might want a partial case of, contact me, and maybe we can find a couple people to split it with us. I usually do that when I’m purchasing cases of produce and citrus. Or you can just consider purchasing in bulk things that are shelf stable for a long, long time. 😊
Yay!! I’m glad you enjoy them. Insider info: I should be making another one in about two more weeks. Ha! Be blessed, sweet friend, and have a wonderful week. 😊
I'm also anxious to get wide mouth pints at some point. I like to can meat during the winter, but prefer wide mouth to be able to get meat out easier after canning. Also... certain jars are hard to get here now also. Glad I stocked up throughout this year when they were there. (Ignoring all the sassy comments when I'd get home from picking up my latest jar purchase.) 🤣
I think the first how’s your standard video I ever did I didn’t put the prices on there. One of my viewers asked me to do it and it is been such a great thing. People really love it. 😊
Oh my goodness lady! I'm just now getting to watch this! I'm so happy to see you switching to non-gmo when you can do so. I'm so sorry that you didn't like the mustard but ill take any recipe you give me. You made me teary eyed with the beautiful kind words. Thank you so much, i was wondering where the influx of subs came from 😅 You are truly one of my favorite people! You're gonna love the burkey, we've had one for years and I'm definitely planning on getting more filters from azure with the bonus cash its a good deal. I have the jars in my next order. The supurb lids i had to learn needed to be tightened down just a little bit more than the ball lids bit once they seal its a very strong seal. So glad I'm getting to catch up on your video's today! Love you lady! ❤
Hey lady! Thanks for the tip on the superb lids. I will see if I can’t make us an awesome mustard recipe soon. Love you lots. Hope you’re doing well. ❤️
@@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska I'm doing OK just nursing some injuries I've acquired in my clumsiness lately. It's almost canning time for me so I need my body to act right lol. Watching your other videos now 🙂
Wowzers what a haul this time. We have a Berkey, I love it but don't like cleaning the filters. I actually should be getting new ones by now. We've had ours for years now and have not replaced them yet. Enjoy
Trust me it won't stay shiny haha, I used to clean the sides all the time but you always get drips on it when you fill it. Now it's lucky if it gets polished up once a month. @@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska
I just found your channel. I am also switching over to non gmo organic. I have a burkey, but it is time for new filters. I need to find a good replacement for them. Thank you for your channel!
Hey friend! I just checked and Berkeys still have extra Azure cash back. It’s $430 then you get $94 in credit! The filters are a smoking deal too. www.azurestandard.com/?a_aid=IqRasfXDLB Here’s the link to Azure in you are interested. 😊 Be blessed.
You are totally right! I was shocked by this, disappointing. I guess when I’m buying things from Azure standard, I better start checking it more for the place of origin. Thank you for showing this to me.
I’ll definitely let you know! I feel like the ball lids have recently seemed more flimsy to me. The pop-up mechanism is a little different, but lids seem solid and there’s definitely more rubber compound. And its fun that its blue. Ha!
Yeah Flat Tire Farm video! That pizza looks amazing! Looking forward to onion recipes 🙂. Good tips on non GMO products. I need to do better on this. What a bargain on the Berkeley. Didn’t know that about the extra Azure cash. How do you know which items have the extra? ❤️🙏🏻Val C
If you go to Azure website, click “shop” then in the drop down menu click “Bonus Azure Cash”. It will bring up all the items with bonus Azure cash. For each item, there’s a green circle that shows how many times azure cash you get. If you click on the item then scroll down through the description you’ll see a list of things like weigh, organic, etc. I think the first one in that list is how much azure cash you’ll earn. That’s for the mobile version anyways. Let me know if you need anymore help. 😊
Definitely! I just couldn’t pass it up for the price. We looked at them two years ago but I just couldn’t handle spending $500. When I found it for 430, and then got $95 back, I figured I wasn’t gonna find a better deal than that. I’ll let you know how it goes sweet friend.
Thank you so much. I’m looking for to possibly getting one in the future and using azure. It’s actually worth it by the time you use gas just driving and searching for not so great items in the store. I’m mean I seriously don’t have the patience for that wonderful money hold that local Wally World like to put on our card either. Makes no sense. Azure seems more practical when living in Ak. Just my opinion and thoughts.
@@AlaskaMyHeart it’s not always the most practical. Shipping costs a lot. But I compare Walmart, Amazon and azure standard before I purchase anything. In terms of getting organic non-GMO items, lots of those things just aren’t even available in Alaska so that leaves azure as a great option. Sometimes I can get, the organic non-GMO items on azure for cheaper than I can get the regular ol’ non-organic items locally. So that makes it even better deal. But it’s not always the best deal. I would say about 30 to 40% of the time it’s the best deal.
Thanks so much ! I’ve been thinking about ordering from Azure. Problem is, we’ve already spent soooo much on preparedness. Can’t decide if we should take the leap. Watched your great video on canning strawberries and blueberries. May buy a box of each of these , to get started. Id love for you to tell me how you keep your oil from going rancid. That’s a lot of oil. I put mine in pint jars and vacuum sealed it. Not sure if this will even be helpful though. ( We don’t have nearly the amount that you have. Probably about 6 gallons.) Thank you 🌺
Hey friend! We have a cold room under our cabin. We even keep tallow and rendered lard down there in 2 gallon frosting buckets. As well as bulk, coconut oil, palm, oil, and caster oil for soap making. Stays 35° in the winter and 55-60 in the summer. I’ve never had an issue with any oils going bad. Before we had the cold room finish, we just kept it on the shelves down there the the crawl space. Stayed anywhere from 45 to 55°. I have lard down there that’s been there for three years now. But I’m pretty particular how I render it. 😊
@@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska you are such a kind person! Appreciate your reply. Sounds like you have a much bigger operation going , than we do. It’s nice to see someone doing so well and enjoying it. We’re stuck in a subdivision so kind of limited in what we can do . But, I can tell you that we work very hard . Thank you for the videos 😊
Thanks! So kind of you to say. 😊 if you have a basement or a crawlspace, you could section a corner of it off and pull the insulation out from the exterior walls and make a little cold room. That is, of course, except if you live somewhere like Arizona where it’s too hot all the time. Ha! Then that would make a sauna! ha!
@@Bee-Kind-Baker when we figured out where we wanted the cold room to be, we made sure it was at the corner of two exterior walls, and that there was no plumbing going to go in the floor above. Then it didn’t matter whether that corner of the cabin got cold or not. And we put insulation in the floor joists that were the ceiling to the cold room. That way the floor in the cabin didn’t get cold in that corner. We did a bunch of videos on it. If you’re interested let me know I’ll send you some links. Of course is completely off grid, and no power necessary.
Definitely! That was part of our purpose for getting the Berkey. There’s only about a week left of rain catchment season though. Ha! Have to start that next summer. 😊
@@sandrafarley7967 hey friend. We have a few videos on it already. Ha! I even make cheesecake. Whoop! Heading to the farmers market as we speak to sell milk and spreadable herb farm cheese. Yum! Be blessed.
