My daughter was born with digestive issues. After seeing a series of doctors, when she was 8 years old, we took her off all processed food and additives. We started organic gardening and raising chickens. Her gastro issues cleared up and we were all healthier for it. I love hearing your story. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for showing us how to make and use butternut squash in a variety of ways. We do make our chicken your easy way overnight in a crock pot and love having healthy chicken broth ready to use - awesome!!! We are on a mission to improve our health and your simple, easy cooking and baking ideas are making it less complicated! Thanks so much! Blessings to you and your family!!!!
Yall are such a blessing to watch. I wish I had known of this way of living in my younger years, so that I could have passed it on to my children. May God continue blessing your family & land.❤
I so love your videos. You make life look so simple. That is what this world needs these days. Thank you so much for all the AWESOME content you put together and share with us. God Bless.
Just found your channel in recommendation list. And have to say your life is really kind of my dream! I was born and raised in a tiny city in China, but your lifestyle is really similar to my grandparents' I've experienced when I was young. Now I'm in Europe living and traveling in different international big cities, but still I missed such simply and happy life so much. Thanks for sharing this sweet story, it really made me realize what I still long for even till now❤
I so love your cooking videos. I love them all but these my favorite. I just learn alot from you. I wish I had known what you know as a young mom. Such a great family. I pray you are doing well joell. You seemed to be really tired or feeling bad. You hang in there. You and Jim are the best parents. Ty for sharing your lives with us.
I always love your videos. I thoroughly enjoy the combination of subjects you cover and watching you and your family cook and plant and harvest, etc is such a pleasurable experience. I look forward to watching every time your video pops into my notifications. It's always fun to see you in your kitchen and at the Aga. I will definitely make your soup next week - this week's menu is already planned! It looks delicious. I'm just venturing off Ketovore so potatoes will be an exciting venture for me! It's been a long time. I'd love to give Jim's cheeses a try someday. He makes it look so easy. Enjoyed the family pumpkin carving and grape harvesting. Your children are delightful and a joy to see and hear. 💛🍂🧡🌻🧡🍂💛
I love your food videos! Thanks for the tip on roasting a chicken and getting the broth all at one time - I use to cook the chicken, the simmer the bones the next day - this is so much easier!! LOVE your oven -- it's a pipe dream for me!
So glad this was helpful! I also used to do broth that way and much prefer this method. It's still hard for me to believe we own an AGA - fb marketplace find of a lifetime!
Yes actually. Much less spicy, even just a bit sweet. The texture is good too. They're not crisp, but they aren't mushy. They have a good, sort of soft apple/half cooked carrot texture? Excellent in that stir fry
Yes, growing up with an Asian mom, almost all my food was unprocessed and natural. I didn’t like it too much as a kid though. Now I see what a blessing it is. My body however does not do well with red meat and wheat, it does better on soy and fish. I am glad that you find a solution and a lifestyle that is sustainable and healing for your family.
I can't wait for our grapes and blueberry bushes start producing. I love your farm and how you can everything. I want to learn how to make the gelatin gummies.
That's exciting!! Here's the recipe for the gummies, you can sub a different type of juice too :) - fromscratchfarmstead.com/elderberry-gummies-recipe/
I loved this video! I too was brainwashed into thinking that soyburgers and skimmed milk (plant based milk) was better for us. What a joke looking back at it now!! The way you live is absolute goals! Thank you for sharing ❤
I buy 50 lbs. of chicken feet from Youngs Farm here in Az. Perfect for chicken soup!📿✝️🙏🏻✨️😇💕God bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and E Minister 🙏🏻
Hi cook in our RV . I know what you are going through cooking in a small place . Keep with your cooking show. I prayed for Jesus to teach me how to cook and your show came on. I think you are doing a good job keep it up.
I'm so sorry about your Mother in Law and a Celiac diagnosis. Those are hard things! So glad you are seeing positive benefits with real foods too! Thanks for watching :)
I didn't grow up eating butternut squash, and my husband had it once a year in a dessert-like side dish at Thanksgiving. So, I will definitely be trying to use it more now that I have these great recipes. We will also add it to our crops for next year too! We have grown spaghetti squash successfully, so hopefully we can have the same luck with the butternut variety! I'm curious if you ever roast the seeds? We eat pumpkin seeds every day!
Awesome!! Butternut squash is so good. We do roast the seeds occasionally but I usually give them to our chickens as a source of protein. Thanks for watching :).
I wished I had your size kitchen, to do all the cooking and canning you do. But I changed also to only eating food that is not processed. I feel a lot healthier.
came across your channel, love it. Reminds me of my grandparents and parents and all of the gardening they did. I love the harvest and storage and cooking videos. Would love to see more gardening videos, would love to hear any tips you would part with on things that have worked for you when growing crops
I am so glad we came across this channel! ❤ we are moving soon & are going to grow some of our own vegetables. Cant wait! I wonder what your jam would taste like. I bet amazing! I can't wait to try Squash. I see so many ppl who love it. I always wanted to try Butternut Squash Soup
I never had beets before so I decided to try your idea of carrot and beet stir fried with egg for lunch oh so good (I also added kale) HIGHLY recommend other viewers!❤😊 so yummy
I'm allergic to tomatoes so I use butternut squash as a replacement in many dishes. I use the puree to thicken meat sauce for lasagne, to make bbq sauce that is amazing on pizza with chicken/pancetta/sliced roasted squash, pumpkin pasta sauce (just sauteed leek and garlic and roasted squash, bit of cream), put the puree in bechamel for lasagne or a pizza sauce, puree stirred through risotto, in bread and bagels, and of course... pumpkin choc chip cookies. There is honestly nothing butternut squash puree can't make and I swear it has crack in it, because every squash product I make, people devour.
Hello from Ireland. I've always cooked pretty much everything from scratch, thats how i was raised but I'm moving towards organic now wherever i can. My garden was a big flop this year due to back problems, unfortunately only have a few bits. We have a local farm shop but honestly wouldn't buy anything from it as the amount of fertilisers they use is scandalous - a farmer let out his land to them and he quit eating everything they grew as he saw exactly what they were putting continuously on the crops! A saying here is "they were blown out of the ground." Maybe different from where you are, but i would have loved to have bought from them. Next year i hope to be able to grow as much vegetables as i can to keep us going even for 5 or 6 months 😊 would love to know how to can, the jars alone here are incredibly expensive and the canner can't be bought here either so would have to import but I'd constantly be worrying that i didn't do something right and end up killing 1 of my family! I'd love even a root cellar! will look forward to watching other videos 😊
Thanks for sharing your experience! Sorry it wasn't a good year for your garden and hope your back is doing better! Hopefully next year will go much smoother!
This is so peaceful. I will offer a tip that I wish I had known years ago. For most things, you can purée the skin along with the flesh. I use most of my squash in cakes. The bits of skin aren’t a big deal and add some nutrition. Also, removing the skin was always my least favorite chore.
Awesome content! Loved the vid. Now you opened all kinds of inquiries on nutrition and food prep and storage!!! Would love some more info on how y’all started on the dairy issue before you had your own cow?? Blessings from Tx and I think I’ll go binge watch your channel!
Before getting Thimble (our milk cow) we bought 1 gallon a week of raw milk because that's all we could afford. We bought yogurt and cheese from the store (mostly - we'd make yogurt and mozzarella occasionally). But that was also before kids, so we didn't need nearly as much as we do now! So glad you are enjoying our channel!
I love the sound of the kids in the background. Makes it so sweet. I was curious, does boiling the chicken take some of the flavor out of it when you go to broil and then eat it?
I know the question wasn't really addressed to me but I also boil my whole chicken before putting it in the oven and I feel it cooks up much juicier, tender, and delicious that way. You can get a really nice, crispy chicken exterior that way without sacrificing moisture. I keep the broth to add to rice, soups, or stews later on. However, I usually make a paste to slather on the chicken prior to going into the oven. I think it would definitely lose its seasoning if seasoned, then boiled, then baked. I boil, then season, then bake.
Since I first saw you slow cook a whole chicken with water ( 2/3) By doing that, I don't have to wait for the bones and start the long process of simmering them to make stock!, As you say, the 'stock' is ready done. I wish I had thought of it years ago. BTW, have you ever done the chicken from frozen please? Greetings from North Bay Ontario.
So glad this has been helping you! I’ve never done it with a frozen chicken - I’d be hesitant in a slow cooker but I think you should be able to in a pressure cooker! Thanks for watching!! 😊
@@christinebrush4399 I agree! I also used this idea after seeing it on this channel. Last week I pressure cooked a half frozen whole chicken on high for 50 minutes and it came out perfect! The chicken stock was all gelatin too!
Have you considered making browncheese from the leftover whey? Its what we make here in Norway, not sure if anyone else makes it but its incredible! (:
Here’s a link to the full recipe (it uses elderberry, I just subbed grape juice). If you scroll down to the recipe, there’s a video tutorial! 😊fromscratchfarmstead.com/elderberry-gummies-recipe/
Thank you for your videos! They have been so helpful for slowly going through the process of a healthier lifestyle for our family :) Question for you! What do you recommend for cutting boards? It has been tricky to find a nontoxic wood one. Also, as it pertains to oiling wooden utensils, do you use coconut oil?
So glad our videos are helpful! Great question about cutting boards and wooden cooking utensils. Jim actually made me this cutting board several years ago. He finished it with Tung oil from real milk paint co. That's what we finish our butcher block counter tops with as well. We try to find wooden utensils on etsy that are hand made if possible or Jim has carved some wooden spoons. Thanks for watching!
I was reading into what my Norwegian ancestors ate before they immigrated to ND (they had a lot of food insecurity) they could only grow oats, barley, wheat wouldn’t ripen, and they made a spot where they could grow some potatoes. They needed their livestock to survive and fed them well before themselves (and housed them before themselves), so I’m assuming they consumed a lot of butter, fresh milk, etc. they were never overweight, obviously either food insecurity. I need to move my family more away from processed but I don’t buy fake butter, low fat milk or yogurt, etc.
In answering “why you homestead?” You mentioned infertility. Could you explain more or how successful you became for getting pregnant? I’m trying to help a young couple who want kids. It’s a toxic world out there! ❤ Still loving my shampoo bars from your channel! Blessings to you all! 💗
A few things that really helped me besides eating nutrient dense, real food is incorporating liver everyday (I actually have a video on this th-cam.com/video/IovcdKjyW5I/w-d-xo.html). And just being mindful of not overdoing it with stress/exercise. Thanks for watching and glad you are loving the shampoo bars!
So we are getting our Aga soon, and I'm starting to squirrel away what I'm thinking, are the necessary cookware. So I'm looking at Dutch ovens, and I love your well used large oval dutch oven. Can you tell me what kind it is and how many quarts it holds?
@FromScratchFarmstead wow, I was just at the le crueset outlet near me, and they don't have that size. They have a huge 15.5 quart, but it's 13 inches wide, or deep, idk how they measure these things, and I don't think it will fit in the oven, and it weighs a ton!. I will have to keep my eyes peeled on FB market place. Thanks so much for responding. I really appreciate it and all the videos and advice.
Hello, I have only seen 3 videos so far but I really like them I have been suffering from health issues, and it's the food I have acess too. I am trying to get better. But all that aside, what is that thing you are cooking on? You never seem to turn any swithers or light a flame and theirs all these doors? What is it, did someone make it for you? Thank you I have subscribed and turned on notifications.
Hi! Our oven is called an AGA. We have a few other videos that talk about it specifically but it runs on gas and it's always on so you are right that there's no lighting or knobs. We found ours on fb marketplace. They aren't very common in the US but made in the UK and more popular there. It's been a dream come true for me - I love it! Thanks for being here! All the best on your health journey!
@FromScratchFarmstead wow that s so cool so it's also doubles has a heater for the home well maybe at least a few rooms. And no pre heating our fairly new oven at times takes 30 minutes to reach 450.
This may sound like a dumb question, but how do you eat liver everyday? Is it already prepared? I've never actually had liver, but I do eat plenty of fermented foods and wouldn't mind adding liver to my daily routine.
Not dumb at all! I make a big batch of liver pate and freeze it in muffin cups. Then I add a spoonful of the pate in with my eggs and veggies for breakfast each morning with a spoonful of sauerkraut on top!
Nous en Europe en général, nous ne mangeons quasiment rien de transformer !!! C'est très mauvais pour la santé, et depuis tjs....par contre un boullions de poule on met 1ou 2 oignons, des carottes, un poireau, céleri, thym,laurier,ail, sel poivre etc pour les légumes mettez les vers la fin de cuisson...ça vous fera un excellent bouillon de poulet avec légumes....😊

More butternut squash recipes/ways to use please! It just grows and stores so well- a must have staple for us!
Ok! Thanks for the suggestion!!
The birds always eat our grapes 😊 when they are ripe they are usually in birds' stomachs 🦧
Thank you for a great episode ❤
Oh no! I honestly have no idea why the birds haven't touched ours. You'd think that they would! Thanks for watching!
I just found your channel and I needed to see this video tonight. Thank you for reminding me why it is important to eat whole foods.
So glad this was an encouragement to you!!

I just found out that you can COOK radishes.
RADISHES!!
My friend sliced them, and added them to a stir-fry.
They were amazing.
Do they taste less spicy when fried? Just curious
Yes actually. Much less spicy, even just a bit sweet.
The texture is good too. They're not crisp, but they aren't mushy. They have a good, sort of soft apple/half cooked carrot texture? Excellent in that stir fry
Love that!! Roasted vegetables are the best vegetables in my opinion!
I hit send too quickly. I love your channel, and being able to share your life.

Here’s a link to the full recipe (it uses elderberry, I just subbed grape juice). If you scroll down to the recipe, there’s a video tutorial! 😊fromscratchfarmstead.com/elderberry-gummies-recipe/
Thank you for your videos! They have been so helpful for slowly going through the process of a healthier lifestyle for our family :) Question for you! What do you recommend for cutting boards? It has been tricky to find a nontoxic wood one. Also, as it pertains to oiling wooden utensils, do you use coconut oil?
So glad our videos are helpful! Great question about cutting boards and wooden cooking utensils. Jim actually made me this cutting board several years ago. He finished it with Tung oil from real milk paint co. That's what we finish our butcher block counter tops with as well. We try to find wooden utensils on etsy that are hand made if possible or Jim has carved some wooden spoons. Thanks for watching!
@@FromScratchFarmstead Thank you so much for the helpful advice!
👷🏻♂️🇨🇦❤️Hello from a retired couple about to embark on our Homestead Adventure. We own The Ole Church with 5 Acres. Happy to learn. Let’s connect!
That's so exciting!! All the best to you!!
I absolutely love your AGA!!! Did you find this in the states or abroad? Loved your recipes. And, lifestyle.
Thank you! We found it in the states on fb marketplace! It was the find of a lifetime!
@ I absolutely agree!! Love and cherish it and it will give you a lifetime of amazing dishes! I dream of having an AGA! God bless. Love your channel.
Love your cooking videos 💕
So glad they're helpful! 😊
New sub here. Absolutely loved this video.
So glad to hear this! Thanks for watching!
Bravo!
Hi aweseome video. Thanks! What is the type of that oven?
It's an AGA! We have a few more dedicated videos about it. It was a fb marketplace find of a lifetime! :)
Great video ❤
Thank you!!
What kind of oven it that? It looks very interesting! Love your lifestyle. ❤

Thank you! It's an AGA! We have a few other videos that talk about it specifically :).
I was reading into what my Norwegian ancestors ate before they immigrated to ND (they had a lot of food insecurity) they could only grow oats, barley, wheat wouldn’t ripen, and they made a spot where they could grow some potatoes. They needed their livestock to survive and fed them well before themselves (and housed them before themselves), so I’m assuming they consumed a lot of butter, fresh milk, etc. they were never overweight, obviously either food insecurity. I need to move my family more away from processed but I don’t buy fake butter, low fat milk or yogurt, etc.
Interesting to hear! Thanks for sharing!
I'm surprised you don't leave the skin on the squash. I find it tasty. Also saw a recipe making the skin into 'chips' declared delish.
Interesting! I haven't heard of that! Thanks for sharing.
Great video! Wondering how you source greens in the winter. Do you grow your own microgreens?
Thanks! We dehydrate greens during the growing season to use all winter.
@ Thank! I noticed the jar full of what looked like dehydrated greens but wasn’t sure.
In answering “why you homestead?” You mentioned infertility. Could you explain more or how successful you became for getting pregnant? I’m trying to help a young couple who want kids. It’s a toxic world out there! ❤ Still loving my shampoo bars from your channel! Blessings to you all! 💗
A few things that really helped me besides eating nutrient dense, real food is incorporating liver everyday (I actually have a video on this th-cam.com/video/IovcdKjyW5I/w-d-xo.html). And just being mindful of not overdoing it with stress/exercise. Thanks for watching and glad you are loving the shampoo bars!
👍
So we are getting our Aga soon, and I'm starting to squirrel away what I'm thinking, are the necessary cookware. So I'm looking at Dutch ovens, and I love your well used large oval dutch oven. Can you tell me what kind it is and how many quarts it holds?
That's so exciting! It's a 9.5 Quart Le Creuset (I found it on fb marketplace).
@FromScratchFarmstead wow, I was just at the le crueset outlet near me, and they don't have that size. They have a huge 15.5 quart, but it's 13 inches wide, or deep, idk how they measure these things, and I don't think it will fit in the oven, and it weighs a ton!. I will have to keep my eyes peeled on FB market place. Thanks so much for responding. I really appreciate it and all the videos and advice.
Bravo
Hello,
I have only seen 3 videos so far but I really like them I have been suffering from health issues, and it's the food I have acess too. I am trying to get better. But all that aside, what is that thing you are cooking on? You never seem to turn any swithers or light a flame and theirs all these doors? What is it, did someone make it for you? Thank you I have subscribed and turned on notifications.
Hi! Our oven is called an AGA. We have a few other videos that talk about it specifically but it runs on gas and it's always on so you are right that there's no lighting or knobs. We found ours on fb marketplace. They aren't very common in the US but made in the UK and more popular there. It's been a dream come true for me - I love it! Thanks for being here! All the best on your health journey!
@FromScratchFarmstead wow that s so cool so it's also doubles has a heater for the home well maybe at least a few rooms. And no pre heating our fairly new oven at times takes 30 minutes to reach 450.
This may sound like a dumb question, but how do you eat liver everyday? Is it already prepared? I've never actually had liver, but I do eat plenty of fermented foods and wouldn't mind adding liver to my daily routine.
Not dumb at all! I make a big batch of liver pate and freeze it in muffin cups. Then I add a spoonful of the pate in with my eggs and veggies for breakfast each morning with a spoonful of sauerkraut on top!
Очень интересный выпуск.
I love you, you're amazing
Can you please tell me what kind of beautiful stove that is?! 😊❤
It's an AGA! We have some other dedicated videos about it! 😍
Amen. 😊
Is there a homestead book yall would recommend?
I love The Call of the Wild and Free by Ainsley Arment! Heres' the link. amzn.to/4ewmeCT
I miss my Aga
They are so great! ❤️

Nous en Europe en général, nous ne mangeons quasiment rien de transformer !!! C'est très mauvais pour la santé, et depuis tjs....par contre un boullions de poule on met 1ou 2 oignons, des carottes, un poireau, céleri, thym,laurier,ail, sel poivre etc pour les légumes mettez les vers la fin de cuisson...ça vous fera un excellent bouillon de poulet avec légumes....😊
