Thank you to the little boy (I do not know his name) for being polite to his mother and letting her know where he would be. Also, for saying, "yes mam". Those two words will serve you well in life as you go forward. Yes mam and No mam.
I grew up in northern New York State. In the north when you used Yes Mam or No Mam, you were being a smart aleck and usually got reprimanded. When we moved to Texas for a few years, if you did NOT use Yes Mam or No Mam ( or Yes Sir... etc.) you got reprimanded. No wonder kids get confused. lol

Ruth Ann all I can say is Thank You! Thank you for being you. I love watching you and your family interact.,everyone is gental and respectful with each other. I have learned so much from. I grew up canning with my mother and grandmother but haven't canned in years. So now I'm getting started again. Thank you again.
Ruth, You did it again❤ Thank you for always including your family, your animals and scenics of your farm. You are becoming a pro at videoing and documenting your life. Bless you for sharing such a healthy and rewarding life with all of your new friends out here. Hugs to you all!😊
Jess from Roots and Refuge Farm said you are her homestead hero. And I consider her to be one of mine, so I’m here to see what inspires my inspirers. ☺️ Looking forward to learning from you. Something tells me your channel is about to explode with growth!
I have discovered your channel, and now I am a huge fan!! I am going back to watch your older videos. Thank you for all your informative videos. Your family is precious!
Hi Mrs Zimmerman and precious family! What a busy Labor Day. I delivered my oldest daughter on Labor Day, it’s always been about my daughters birthday and family time. God Is Good all the time. Have a blessed weekend everyone!
Your children are so productive. Hadessa is there with you every step of the way. The lessons they are learning will serve them well into the future. Great job, Mom and Dad!!
Your covered deck will be a wonderful addition to your home. A shaded place for all the family. You have a wonderful way of life and a beautiful place to live it. Yes, God is good all the time. 🤗
I have always canned all my tomatos and sauces without water bath canning and have never lost a can. I do them with boiling my jars, lids and rings before packing my boiling tomato sauce or tomatoes in the jars! I'm 76 and have done my canning since I was 25. My mother taught me this method, but i want to thank you!! At my age I have learned so much from you!! You are amazingly patient and have a wonderful family living a wonderful life!! May God bless you and yours always!!
I well remember many a Labour Day…….labouring over school clothes….hemming etc…pickling…saucing…jamming. Thank you Ruth Ann for bring back so many wonderful memories. Xx
Hello, I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness, prosperity, love , and peace all over the world 🌏. I would love us to be good friends in honesty and in trust so as time goes on it will bring something great for us in the future, hope you don't mind? I'm Johnson Gabriel from Oslo Norway, where are you from if I may ask?❤
Ruthann, thank you so much for all that you do. You are such a blessing to me. OK looks like I also need to teach myself basic carpentry to do repairs as needed.
Thank you for answering a burning question I have. I am 73 and I hadn’t canned in years and I picked it up again and was having a problem with hot water bathing. Every time I do it water leaks out into the pot and everything gets sticky and a mess not to mention the jars that the liquid leaks out of. I never covered my jars until now so now that I have been reminded of how I used to do it I will go back to my original way. The water below the tops. Thank you Ruth and god bless you and your family. I am so happy I found you. Thank you all.
I'm a new subscriber after watching Jessica from TRH talk mention you. I have enjoyed your videos and have went back several times and watched older videos. Your children are so sweet and hardworking. I admire you all as a family and have even enjoyed some recipes you share. I love your outdoor kitchen, and hope to have one someday soon. Glad you had a good Labor Day. Hope you have a great weekend! Thanks for sharing.
I was always told that the water must cover the top of the jars but your way makes so much more sense, I can't wait to try it!!I've never thought to puree it all in the vitamix, I was doing the food mill but this way is so much faster. What a beautiful, productive family, you all must sleep wonderfully each night. Thank you for inviting us all into your home and your life each video, you have a beautiful family and are raising wonderful human beings!
You don’t stop! Bless you for showing(teaching) us what you do! You have a wonderful family that works together to get everything done. Kids today would give up after the first hour!
My dearest Ruth Anne, I can’t stop watching your videos. I have every recipe you have offered, one thing I’m missing however is the name of the blender. That is a must for sure. We love you and love watching you with your family. Kindly leave me a comment on the blender please ❤
I love the attention you give to every aspect of your life! I watched the video of your sewing your apron and really saw the dedication you naturally give to your children, values that God has developed in you as a wife, mother, and foundation of the family! Your husband is very aware of the gift he has from God! He’s providing you an outdoor space to make your life more comfortable and workable and for the family as a whole, it’s awesome!

A country girl can survive. You are smart, quick thinker and inventive. Thank you for sharing your gardening journey. I believe you get a lot more accomplished without the little boys underfoot. Your daughter does a fantastic job of assisting you. :)
I am 100% sure she can do more faster without the little ones, but the whole point is teaching them good food takes hard work. Teaching them the skills and work ethic is central to her family values as are children. The children learn to be grateful.
I’m home not feeling well today and TH-cam suggested one of your videos. I’ve watched three so far. It’s so good to see your positive and gentle way of teaching. God bless! 😊
Always sad when your video is over. I love spending time with you and your family. We have no children, so I enjoy spending some time with you and yours. From Ontario Canada.
Ruth Ann is my greatgrandmothers name. She put out the biggest garden I've ever seen. I have her garden gate here at my homestead. The blackberries are the most thrilling aspect on my spot here on God precious green earth. They grow wild all around the place. The briars tear my hands and heal my soul. I sing all the verses of Amazing Grace when I can remember them. Peppers grew well again this year. I'm old and can't use salt. I was hoping you had some ideas of fermenting without salt. Looks like this season was lacking in sunshine all across Indiana to Penn. Made for some late tomatoes. They weren't as overwhelming at that time. My name is Linda, hello.
You are great example for how to teach and develop children. The day will come when your kids understand and appreciate the difference between working for a wage and working for yourself and loved ones.
My Mom was raised on a working farm. I could never imagine what life was like for her. I knew it must have been hard work. You make it look easy. Thanks for the video, I am learning soo much. Have a great week!!
I was raised on a farm in Louisiana all though he worked for a gas refinery. He planted fields of food and picked before going to work. Had cattle also to tend to and of course the milk cow. It’s good work that teaches work ethics and discipline. We were strong and in good shape physically. I and my brother were in athletics at our community school and went to church on Sunday am & pm and Wednesday nights. It was a life like Mayberry!
❤ will praise the Lord I'm glad to know that I don't have to cover my jars with water because it does cause siphoning and I appreciate that information so much and I intend to make some tomato sauce this year with your recipe and I want to thank you for all your wonderful videos I just love you and your whole family God bless all of you
Ruthann, you are one of the TH-cam blessings of my life. I grew up with hippies and needless to say learned very little about home making. I love listening to you and listening to your sweet voice and simply explained instructions. I just made pasta sauce and for the first time did not cover my jars with 1-2 inches of water. My stove was not covered in scalding water, and my jars started to seal before I took them from the pot. I'll never go back to covering my jars in water for water bath canning. I also appreciate how you teach your children, I am a grandma now and will follow your lead. God bless you and your family. :)
I just love watching you and your family so much 💖 my husband and I live in Prospect Hill NC and are “new” at homesteading. We really appreciate all that you share with us 👍 I wish we lived closer because h know we would be great friends . Much love to you and your family 💖
I love when you explain the old ways of canning you were taught. Our elder women had more food wisdom in their pinkies than all the “food scientists” in the USDA. I’d listen to them every day of the week over someone from the government “here to help.”
1st I just adore the children and how they great they are at helping out! 2nd you are amazing and I love following you. My grandma canned literally everything. She taught me a few things but I was a child so I’m now learning all over again. My momma taught me a lot as well but she too passed when I was young. So following you had been great! 3rd Thank you for showing your ways. Some people today are freaks over canning. People have survived for many many years doing things the way you do and even more simple ways. We’re still here to tell about and teach. Thanks again! ❤
Love watching you do all that needs to be done. Like letting the tomatoes sit until you could fix them. So much common sense in you. Love it. And love seeing the kids helping you when needed. What a fantastic family. Love ya. Hearts and flowers being sent to you. ❤️💐
Beautiful produce. Maybe small garden was lovely this year also. Have Asian pears big as cantelope, taste amazing in pear butter and pear cobbler with what we call a doobie for 50 years. Just harvested pecans before squirrels ate 95% of. Love having adorable children around, but all grown up children here. Get all the hugs and loving before they leave these days. B
I loved the video of you pruning the tomato plants. And wow ! What a lovely harvest. You are a wise woman Ruthann. Thank you for sharing what you know & learn with us ♥️👍🏼
Another great video! The patio is going to be wonderful. We live above 5,000 feet and water bathing takes forever like 2 hours so I just pressure can for 10 minutes at 15lbs it is so much easier for me and I like the results much better than the hotpack process which my mother did.
Hot packing is when you cook and add hot to the jars before canning. Open kettle is where you put product in jars after cooking in the pan and let it seal after filling without further processing. What you did with your sauce is actually hot packing. Hope this helps.
I discovered your channel and have loved watching your videos and learning so much from you. I love seeing your sweet family and how you interact with them. It blesses my heart. I know that children learn what they live and they are learning so much. Blessings to you and your family.
I have started using brew bags to strain the water from my tomato sauce. Works so well if you let it strain long enough you'll have tomato paste. It works awesome! No boiling down for hours and you can can the water separate as tomato juice. Game changer!
Your pink top is so becoming, the buckets of tomatoes make my mouth water, thank you for sharing so much wisdom with everyone, you need to make a pink apron. God bless.
I want to be a positive commenter on TH-cam for you, Thank you for sharing and teaching us. Some of us were not passed down these skills from our grandmother or moms. You empower us! ❤️
Thank you for the family video, it makes us feel like we are there with you. Sorry we can’t help you with the chores, we would if we could. God is good, all of the time for sure. May God give you all of the things your family needs to function this year, and May he help you complete the new addition to the outside patio/porch and the leveling of the soil from the house and to the garden area and pasture.
We Labor at home on Labor Day too. There is always lots to do at home. Love seeing your family ❤ What a blessing that your tomatoes got ripe just in time. I can’t leave my tomatoes to ripen on the vine. The bugs or worms get them before I can if I leave them.

You are a amazing woman. I admire so much the care you take for your family. That is the way it's suppose to be. You said you like to leave things on the vein till your ready. Do you have much bug pressure in your area? Here in texas it is horrible. A lot of times I have to pick earlier than I would want to avoid insect damage. God Bless you and your family. Please keep the videos coming. Your such a inspiration.
I just found your channel and what a pleasure to watch! I did this as a kid in the 60's. I remember fondly once i got it!😂 Thanks for bringing people back to mother earth ❤
I have friends who are also ex Mennonite and you remind me so much of the mom, mainly because of your sweet Pennsylvania Dutch accent. 😁. Your channel is fun to watch. Many blessings and don't let the hateful comments get you down.
I've done tomatoes for over 30 years. This is the first year I have used skins and all. I cored and froze until time allowed, then quartered and put in my roaster. When they got soft I used my imulsofier until smooth then cooked all night about 250ish until thick then canned. Easy!
God is good! Thanks for sharing your lives with us here on youtube. Your videos remind me of my childhood summers spent with my grandparents on their farm in Alberta Canada. I am thankful for them and have many wonderful memories and learned many skills from my hardworking grandparents.
I have been loving your content! Was sharing with my wife today about you and your beautiful family! So thankful for your godly example and your faithfulness to share the skills you’ve learned with the rest of us!

I was so glad to see you using your Vitamix blender. I just got one and am excited to use it. It looks like a great work and time saver. I have been watching your outdoor kitchen with interest as we are planning on setting up an outdoor kitchen next year. I think we will follow your set up as you have it now. Ours will be "open air" like yours is now. Thanks for all of the sharing of information and entertainment.
Hello, now you're in the middle of the busy fund-raising weekend. I was given a few home grown tomatoes, so I worked right along with you this Saturday. Nice to learn the tips about how you do canning.
Very productive Labor day on your farm. I think it’s good to be busy putting up food when nature provides so much for us. My folks used to say “make hay while the sunshines”. Blessings to everyone 🤗💗🇨🇦
I am so happy I found your channel, I like that you show the process of things you prepare, and in such volume, as I like to do. I'm in Blue Grass, Iowa. Howdy neighbor!
I'm 54, and my grandmother and great grandmother said the same thing. At least to the product line, below the lid. For the same reasons you mentioned. To prevent siphoning & water in the jars.
Thank you to the little boy (I do not know his name) for being polite to his mother and letting her know where he would be. Also, for saying, "yes mam". Those two words will serve you well in life as you go forward. Yes mam and No mam.

Thank you for the family video, it makes us feel like we are there with you. Sorry we can’t help you with the chores, we would if we could. God is good, all of the time for sure.
May God give you all of the things your family needs to function this year, and May he help you complete the new addition to the outside patio/porch and the leveling of the soil from the house and to the garden area and pasture.
Those are beautiful peppers and tomatoes.
We Labor at home on Labor Day too. There is always lots to do at home. Love seeing your family ❤ What a blessing that your tomatoes got ripe just in time. I can’t leave my tomatoes to ripen on the vine. The bugs or worms get them before I can if I leave them.
Hello, I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness, prosperity, love , and peace all over the world 🌏. I would love us to be good friends in honesty and in trust so as time goes on it will bring something great for us in the future, hope you don't mind? I'm Johnson Gabriel from Oslo Norway, where are you from if I may ask????❤

Could you maybe use insect netting?
God is good. Thanks for sharing❤😊 you are appreciated 🎉
You are a amazing woman. I admire so much the care you take for your family. That is the way it's suppose to be. You said you like to leave things on the vein till your ready. Do you have much bug pressure in your area? Here in texas it is horrible. A lot of times I have to pick earlier than I would want to avoid insect damage. God Bless you and your family. Please keep the videos coming. Your such a inspiration.
Would it work to cover the vines with insect netting?
I was raised on a cattle farm in the Ozark Mtns and there was always work to be done. Bless your sweet family.
My son was the same way! Work for what you want and need!
I just found your channel and what a pleasure to watch! I did this as a kid in the 60's. I remember fondly once i got it!😂 Thanks for bringing people back to mother earth ❤
Reminding me of canning tomatoes growing up. Good times. Even as a kid I loved helping can.
I have friends who are also ex Mennonite and you remind me so much of the mom, mainly because of your sweet Pennsylvania Dutch accent. 😁.
Your channel is fun to watch. Many blessings and don't let the hateful comments get you down.
I've done tomatoes for over 30 years. This is the first year I have used skins and all. I cored and froze until time allowed, then quartered and put in my roaster. When they got soft I used my imulsofier until smooth then cooked all night about 250ish until thick then canned. Easy!
Love your videos! Thanks!
God is good! Thanks for sharing your lives with us here on youtube. Your videos remind me of my childhood summers spent with my grandparents on their farm in Alberta Canada. I am thankful for them and have many wonderful memories and learned many skills from my hardworking grandparents.
I adore your videos. You are one of the best teachers. Thank you so much for sharing your vast knowledge.
I have been loving your content! Was sharing with my wife today about you and your beautiful family! So thankful for your godly example and your faithfulness to share the skills you’ve learned with the rest of us!

I was so glad to see you using your Vitamix blender. I just got one and am excited to use it. It looks like a great work and time saver. I have been watching your outdoor kitchen with interest as we are planning on setting up an outdoor kitchen next year. I think we will follow your set up as you have it now. Ours will be "open air" like yours is now. Thanks for all of the sharing of information and entertainment.
I enjoy watching you. God bless you!
Tell your children, I am amazed they listen to you. I admire them so much.
God is good!
Thanks Ruth Ann, for sharing this canning video. 😊
What a nice video, thanks for sharing this glimpse into your family
Hello, now you're in the middle of the busy fund-raising weekend. I was given a few home grown tomatoes, so I worked right along with you this Saturday. Nice to learn the tips about how you do canning.

I love watching you preserve old values and traditions and love God!

Very productive Labor day on your farm. I think it’s good to be busy putting up food when nature provides so much for us. My folks used to say “make hay while the sunshines”. Blessings to everyone 🤗💗🇨🇦
You have a lovely, hard-working family and beautiful place. Thank you for sharing.
You make this look so easy!! I can’t wait to try it next season!!
I am so happy I found your channel, I like that you show the process of things you prepare, and in such volume, as I like to do. I'm in Blue Grass, Iowa. Howdy neighbor!

Thank You for sharing as always. Your sauce looks Amazing!
I'm 54, and my grandmother and great grandmother said the same thing. At least to the product line, below the lid. For the same reasons you mentioned. To prevent siphoning & water in the jars.
